Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Chapter 277 Driving into the City

It rained in the middle of the night and lasted until five in the morning. The weather after the rain was fresh and moist, with the vitality and vigor of spring, bringing tranquility and serenity to the earth, and also bringing people a yearning for a better life.

After May Day, the office's business hours were adjusted accordingly. It is now open only in the morning and evening every day, selling fresh meat in the morning and cooked meat in the evening.

After breakfast, Liu Guozheng drove a light truck to bring back to the city all those who needed to go to work or school. It should be noted here that the light truck has double rows of seats and can accommodate five people in the front.

The main reason for Liu Guozheng's trip to the city was to experience the feeling of driving, and to take Xu Fang and Han Zhang with him to take a driver's license test. Jiang Weimin had informed them in advance that they could take the test directly and get the license on the same day as long as they passed.

The journey from Xiwang New Village to Dongcheng District was very bumpy for Liu Guozheng. The road conditions in the 1960s were so bad, with dirt roads everywhere and full of potholes. Driving was not as fast as riding a bicycle.

After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the office. Fortunately, this light truck was not too wide, so it could still pass through some alleys. We parked the car in front of the office. The first thing Erlang said after getting out of the car was: "Brother Zheng, I seem to have made the wrong choice."

"Haha, Erlang, there's nothing I can do about it. You made your own choice."

After parking the car, Liu Guozheng contacted Jiang Weimin by phone, and then rode his tricycle with Xu Fang and Han Zhang to take the test. Because it was a special case, the test started right after they arrived. Some simple theoretical knowledge and basic auto repair knowledge were still very easy for Liu Guozheng and the other two.

"Xu Fang, you two go back first. I'll go find Wang Sigen."

When passing by No. 95 Courtyard, Liu Guozheng jumped off the tricycle, walked through the gate, and arrived at the front yard through the hanging flower gate.

When Liu Guozheng walked to the front yard, he saw the four members of the Yan family, father and son, sitting side by side under the eaves of their house.

"Liu Guozheng?"

"Hey, Mr. Yan, you guys are living a very comfortable life."

Looking at the appearance of the four people, Liu Guozheng wanted to laugh. Yan Bugui and his sons were half-lying side by side, ignoring each other. The two younger ones, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, were pretending to read books.

"Humph!"

Yan Bugui snorted coldly. He had gotten used to being teased these days, mainly by people in his compound. Every time they saw him when he came back, they would make fun of him.

"Liu Guozheng, what are you doing in our hospital?"

"Looking for someone?"

"Who are you looking for?"

"Who else can I ask? Ask Wang Sigen to buy some wine."

"what?"

After hearing what Liu Guozheng said, Yan Bugui was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He had always thought that the wine for Wang Sigen was provided by Liu Guozheng. Now it seems that he guessed wrong. If he had known this, he would not have planned it at all. Now Yan Bugui wanted to die.

"Wang Sigen, wasn't that wine provided by you?"

"Teacher Yan, who told you that? Besides, I just heard about Wang Sigen selling wine. I happened to be in the city today, so I asked him about it."

"me.."

"Teacher Yan, what happened? Are you okay?"

Yan Bugui's face began to change, sometimes red, sometimes white, sometimes blue, and it looked like he was about to die.

"Help... help me, give me a massage on my back, so I can breathe easier."

Yan Bugui uttered a few words with difficulty. Liu Guozheng stood there with a smile on his face, watching Yan Bugui's performance motionlessly.

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing that Liu Guozheng was indifferent, Yan Bugui pretended to cough a few times and his complexion slowly began to return to normal.

Liu Guozheng was stunned. He didn't know where Yan Bugui learned the face-changing technique. If he hadn't accidentally noticed that there was something wrong with Yan Bugui's eyes, he might have been fooled by him.

I guess as soon as I stretched out my hand, Yan Bugui would fall to the ground and shout that Liu Guozheng was beating him. By then, he would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Teacher Yan, are you feeling better?"

"Ahem, I didn't expect it. Liu Guozheng, you are so young, but how can you be so cruel? You don't respect the elderly and love the young at all. If I can't breathe, won't your conscience hurt?"

Yan Bugui covered his chest with his hands, his eyes filled with confusion, not knowing whether Liu Guozheng was really cruel or what Liu Guozheng had seen.

"Haha, Teacher Yan, who did you learn this from? You're pretending pretty well."

"I didn't learn it from anyone. I just read a lot and figured it out randomly."

"Aren't you tired of living like this? Look, because of your calculations, two children have been implicated. I wonder if your conscience will hurt you."

"Liu Guozheng, how did you know? Tell me, was it you?"

"Look at you. You are still thinking about scheming. Your Yan family's affairs have become a hot topic. Your Yan family's reputation has been completely ruined by you, Yan Bugui."

"My Yan family's reputation is not yours to control."

"I didn't care. I just took it as a joke. Yan Bugui, Yan Bugui, you have a wife and children in this life. With your family's current reputation, what are you going to do with these children in your family?"

"I..cough cough cough..you..you..."

It hurts. Yan Bugui was not pretending this time. He was really coughing. His old face turned red and he pointed at Liu Guozheng with trembling fingers, with anger in his eyes.

The three Yan Jiecheng brothers were indifferent, as if they had accepted their fate, and remained silent.

"hehe."

Liu Guozheng walked straight to the backyard. He knew that Wang Sigen lived there.

"Guo Zheng, why are you here?"

Xu's mother was sitting in the backyard, doing needlework and chatting with a group of old ladies, mostly gossiping about other people's affairs.

"Aunt, I'm looking for Wang Sigen. Is he out today?"

"What a coincidence, Sigen went out early this morning."

"Then, I'll wait for you to see him and ask him to go to the office."

"okay, I get it."

"Then you are busy, I will go back first."

Since Wang Sigen was not here, Liu Guozheng did not plan to stay here for too long.

When passing by the middle courtyard again, he ran into Jia Zhang who was cursing: "What bad luck! The little loser has pooped again. Qin Huairu is also a worthless person. In the end, she was unable to give birth to another boy for my Jia family."

Liu Guozheng finally understood. Qin Huairu gave birth to a girl for the third time, just like in the TV show. If he guessed correctly, the third child of the Jia family should be named Huaihua. He just didn't know why she was given such a name. Judging from the time, Qin Huairu should have given birth to her third child around the Spring Festival. It was hard to understand why she was named Huaihua instead of snowflakes in the snow.

"Heh..."

It was not until Liu Guozheng walked into the front yard that Jia Zhang dared to spit softly, her triangular eyes filled with hatred.

"Old Yan, are you feeling better?"

"Liu Guozheng, please go away. I don't want to bother with you."

"Old Yan, as a people's teacher you should be broad-minded and not petty."

"Humph!"

Yan Bugui was so angry that he turned his back and ignored Liu Guozheng.

"Hahaha."

Liu Guozheng left the courtyard with a smile.
