Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Gu Jinlian replied: "She is a lady from a wealthy family, how can she be bad?!"

Xu Damao's heart was moved at this time, and he began to be distracted. Gu Jinlian saw her son's expression now, and she didn't understand what was going on? ! Gu Jinlian said: "In two days, when the time is set, I will tell you in advance." Then she couldn't help but remind him: "Lou Bancheng's daughter is different from other women. Don't mess around, kid."

Xu Damao replied, "Mom! Am I a messy person?!" Then he urged, "Mom! Put the things in the car away quickly."

"Hey!" Gu Jinlian responded and moved the things on Xu Damao's bicycle back home one by one.

"Da Mao is here?!" When Gu Jinlian was sorting out the things that Xu Damao brought, Xu Wude came in from outside. Xu Damao called out, "Dad!" and then poured a glass of water and handed it to him. Xu Wude glanced at the things on the table and asked, "How many villages did you visit this time?!"

Xu Damao replied: "I have visited six villages. The situation in each village is not very good now. It is not easy to provide these things."

Xu Wood lit up a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "I met Niu Dapeng from the Propaganda Department a few days ago. I heard from him that you are now the head of the projection team?!"

Xu Damao said with a grin, "There is only one team leader, and he is the only one in the team. What is there to say?!"

Xu Wude reminded him, "It's a good thing that you want to be an official. Your mother and I support you. But sometimes, if you want to climb up, you need not only ability, but also connections and background. The situation now is different from the past. But one thing will not change, and that is standing in line."

Xu Damao hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Dad, do you want me to marry Lou Xiao'e and use the Lou family's connections to climb up?!"

Xu Wude glanced at Xu Damao and asked, "Did your mother tell you?!"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "I did say a little bit. But Dad! I just don't understand why you let me marry the daughter of a capitalist?! In your current situation, aren't you definitely trying to trick me?!"

Xu Wood listened to Xu Damao's chatter, like an old monk in meditation, tapping the cup rhythmically with his fingers. After a few minutes, Xu Wood asked, "Do you know what I did before I became a projectionist?!"

Xu Damao blurted out without thinking, "Aren't you Lou Bancheng's driver?!"

Xu Wude said, "You still know that I'm Lou Bancheng's driver?! At that time, only the master's drivers were trusted. Others don't know how much wealth the Lou family has. Don't I know it?! Now the Lou family seems to be on the decline. But the remaining wealth of the Lou family is something that ordinary people may not be able to spend in ten lifetimes. You marry Lou Bancheng's daughter, and when you have children, Lou Bancheng will be completely relieved of you. Wait for him to hand over the wealth, or you find out where Lou Bancheng hides his things. Then you can send them on their way. By then, when you have money, you can pave the way for your own future."

Xu Damao said thoughtfully: "That's what you said. But we have to meet Lou Bancheng's daughter first. If we can't meet her, it will be useless for us to say anything."

Xu Wude smiled and said, "I will arrange this with your mother. You don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is figure out how to take down Lou Xiao'e."

Xu Damao agreed with a smile: "Dealing with a woman like Lou Xiao'e is easy for me, right?!"

While Xu Damao was thinking about how to take down Lou Xiao'e, Yan Jiekuang rode his bicycle to the hospital.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are here too?!" Yan Jiekuang walked into the ward and saw He Yuzhu playing with his son.

“Jie Kuang is here?!” He Yuzhu replied, “Third Aunt, since Jie Kuang is here, you should go back first!”

"Okay! I'll come early tomorrow." After saying that, the third aunt took the thermos bucket and the lunch box given to her by He Yuzhu, and took Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi out of the ward.

After the door of the ward was closed, Liu Lan said, "Zhu Zi, you told me that Auntie San's family was stingy. Why is it that after my interaction with her, what you said is different?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I was wondering that, too!" Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Liu Lan and said, "Isn't it possible that something has possessed the Third Uncle's family?"

Liu Lan's face changed and she said, "Don't say that! Be careful or you'll be dragged out and paraded through the streets!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Do you really think I'm stupid? I'm just saying it in front of you."

Liu Lan said, "Don't say this in front of anyone! What if someone hears what you said and reports it to the neighborhood office? Then it will be either you or Uncle San's family who will be in trouble. Aren't you cheating people?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Okay! Is it okay if I'm wrong?!"

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and said, "In the past, you were alone and you could say whatever you wanted. Now you have a wife and children. When you speak, can you think clearly before you speak?!"

He Yuzhu saw that Liu Lan was about to cry, and hurriedly said: "Wife! I was wrong, isn't it okay?! You just gave birth to a child, you can't cry!"

Liu Lan came back to her senses, sighed, and said, "Why did I fall for you and Yan Jiekuang's trick in the first place?! Marrying a jerk like you?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and sat down next to Liu Lan, holding the child in one hand and Liu Lan in the other, saying, "It's too late for you to regret now! As the old saying goes! Marry a chicken and you follow the chicken; marry a dog and you follow the dog; marry a monkey and you run all over the mountain. If you marry me, Shazhu, you should be prepared to be Shalan!"

"Go away! You're getting more and more frivolous." Liu Lan rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and asked, "You were stewing chicken soup at the factory today. Didn't they say anything to you?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I bought the chicken myself, and asked the director to write a receipt for the seasonings and coal, and then handed the money to the Finance Department. What can others say?! Besides, if the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be abundant. It's already good enough that I don't take some things back from the kitchen. Wife, wait! I'll get you the chicken soup." After saying that, He Yuzhu put the child in the crib next to him, then ran to the bedside table, opened the lunch box of chicken soup and handed it to Liu Lan.

"Hey?! Old lady, you're finally back! If you don't come back, I'll starve to death!" As the third aunt walked into the courtyard gate, Yan Bugui's voice rang out. The third aunt rolled her eyes at her husband and asked, "You're hungry, why don't you cook it yourself?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "No, it's not as good as yours. I'm afraid it will be wasted."

The third aunt glared at Yan Bugui unhappily, opened the lunch box in her hand, took out a steamed bun made of two-grain flour, and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach first!"

When Yan Bugui saw the steamed buns made of two-grain flour, his eyes immediately lit up and he asked, "Where did this steamed bun come from?!"

The third aunt walked into the kitchen and said, "Where else could it have come from? Of course it was given by Sha Zhu. You know what, Sha Zhu is quite generous. I only gave him a handful of rice, and he gave me five steamed buns made of 200 grams of flour." Then she asked, "Is that girl Yu Shui back?!"

Yan Bugui took a bite of the steamed bun and replied, "Not yet!"

The third aunt said, "When Yushui comes back, call her. Shazhu is not coming back today. I want Yushui to have dinner at our house tonight."

Yan Bugui agreed reluctantly for the sake of five yuan and today's steamed buns made of two ounces of flour: "Okay!"
