Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang had been to the Pigeon Market. Yan Jiekuang had never been to the Black Market since he came to this world. Driven by curiosity, Yan Jiekuang asked, "Mom, where is the black market in our area?!"

The third aunt replied: "Where else can it be?! It's in the small woods outside Xizhimen." Then she warned: "It's very messy there. Don't go there!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Mom, don't worry! I'm too timid to go there."

Actually, Yan Jiekuang was just talking. He didn't know the place before, but now that he knows, why shouldn't he go and take a look? !

About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Bugui came back from outside. Seeing Yan Bugui's happy look, the third aunt asked, "Did you spread the news?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "Of course! My method is much better than Liu Haizhong's. At least it's safer! I'm afraid something might happen on the way, so I asked them to change together so that someone can take care of us on the way."

"You thought you could walk there!" The third aunt echoed, saying, "Old Yan, Sha Zhu and his family went to the train station. I guess they went to look for He Daqing."

Yan Bugui said: "Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady are too unkind. They forcibly separated the family. If they are not the extinct family, then who is?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Dad, they are not extinct! The deaf old lady still has a son, but he is not in the city. Yi Zhonghai also has a son, but he has a different surname now."

"Puff!" Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed after a few seconds and reminded him, "Jie Kuang, your father knows that you are telling the truth. But don't tell others about it, it's easy to offend people."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Dad, even if I didn't say it outside, I would have offended them all."

Yan Bugui warned: "No matter what, it's better to be careful." Then he urged: "Old woman, it's getting late, go and cook!"

"Hey! I'll do it right away!" After saying that, the third aunt put the brown sugar away and left the main room.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened. Yi Zhonghai accidentally saw that the lights in He Yuzhu's house were off, and asked, "Guiying, is there no one at Shazhu's house today?!"

Liu Guiying said, "Isn't it a holiday?! Shazhu took his wife, sister and children to his wife's parents' home. They left this morning."

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, Yan Jiekuang opened his eyes, climbed out of the bed swiftly, and found a youth version of the military coat from the space. After putting it on, Yan Jiekuang put on some makeup, and then tiptoed out of the house. When he walked to the gate, Yan Jiekuang found that the gate of the courtyard was not locked. Yan Jiekuang immediately thought of Liu Haizhong. But Yan Jiekuang didn't take it seriously and walked out of the gate carefully. Turning out of the alley, Yan Jiekuang saw that there was no one around, and directly took out a small electric donkey from the space. Riding the electric donkey, Yan Jiekuang went straight to the outside of Xizhimen.

About twenty minutes later, Yan Jiekuang saw three figures in front of him. Judging from their figures, they were none other than Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian. Yan Jiekuang was afraid of being seen and getting in trouble, so he turned into the alley next to him.

The electric scooter sped along, and Yan Jiekuang shivered in the wind. But Yan Jiekuang's heart was warm. Half an hour later, Yan Jiekuang arrived outside Xizhimen. He found a deserted place, put away the electric scooter, and took out a backpack from the space. Carrying the backpack, Yan Jiekuang walked towards the woods outside the city. However, when Yan Jiekuang was about to reach the woods, he was blocked by two people who jumped out from the side.

Yan Jiekuang carefully looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you want to do?!"

The two people looked at Yan Jiekuang, and one of them asked, "Buy or sell?!"

Yan Jiekuang pretended to be scared and replied, "Buy it!"

"Two cents!"

"So expensive?!" Yan Jiekuang muttered deliberately and took out two cents from his pocket and handed it over.

The man on the other side took the money and said, "Don't run around, kid! The transaction is just across the woods."

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, and without delaying for a moment, he walked straight towards the woods.

Passing through the woods, Yan Jiekuang saw many people holding flashlights and looking at the goods on the ground. Yan Jiekuang took out a flashlight from his pocket and quickly blended into the crowd.

It's not a big place, but there are a lot of things. No one is shouting, and no one is talking. If you like something, you just use your fingers to negotiate the price. The manager of this black market is quite smart. There are antiques in the front and food in the back, but there are also some people selling other things.

Yan Jiekuang walked and looked with a flashlight, and suddenly on a stall, six beads in a bowl attracted Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang walked to the stall, squatted down, picked up the bowl and looked at it, then looked at the stall owner. The stall owner whispered: "Lun Yuan!"

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and reached his hand into the sleeve of the stall owner. The stall owner first pinched Yan Jiekuang's index finger, then pinched Yan Jiekuang's three fingers, and pinched twice in a row. Yan Bugui had taught Yan Jiekuang how to bargain, so Yan Jiekuang knew what the stall owner meant. The stall owner offered 60 yuan for this bowl.

Yan Jiekuang shook his head, first pinched the stall owner's thumb, then pinched the stall owner's five fingers. The stall owner hurriedly shook his head and offered another price. Anyway, you go back and forth, and finally Yan Jiekuang took the bowl and the beads in the bowl for 15 yuan.

When Yan Jiekuang finished shopping and was about to leave the black market, Liu Haizhong appeared in the black market. Yan Jiekuang hid to the side, and after Liu Haizhong passed by, Yan Jiekuang immediately left the black market from another exit. An hour later, Yan Jiekuang returned to the courtyard safely. Thinking that Liu Haizhong and his son had gone to the black market, Yan Jiekuang locked the door directly.

Around three o'clock in the morning, Liu Haizhong and his son came back. When Liu Haizhong pushed the door, he found that it was locked. In desperation, Liu Haizhong walked to the window of Yan Bugui's house and called softly, "Old Yan! Old Yan! Wake up! Wake up!"

"Who is it?!" Yan Bugui was awakened by Liu Haizhong's repeated calls. Liu Haizhong hurriedly said, "It's me, Old Yan! Please help open the door."

"Wait!" Yan Bugui responded impatiently and slowly put on his clothes. Just when Liu Haizhong was about to lose his patience, Yan Bugui opened the gate of the courtyard. Liu Haizhong immediately took his two sons into the courtyard. Yan Bugui was about to ask them where they were going, but when he saw what they were holding, Yan Bugui stopped talking.

"Who is it! Why are you back so late?!" Yan Bugui locked the door and returned home. Just as he walked to the bed and sat down, the third aunt's voice rang out.

Yan Bugui took off his pants and got into bed while answering, "Who else?! Liu Haizhong took his eldest and second sons to the black market."

"What?!" The three aunts woke up immediately and said, "How can they be so brave?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "These days, the timid will starve to death, and the bold will die of gluttony. This is just the beginning, and there will be many people in our yard going there later! Go to sleep!" After that, Yan Bugui took off his coat, covered the quilt with it, and then lay down.
