Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Oh! How could Guangqi do this?!" Yan Bugui echoed and asked, "Old Liu, now that it's done, what else can we do?! You can't go to Tianjin and bring him back?! But then again, even if he went there, they wouldn't be able to pay him a salary when he first arrived there. How can he live without money in his pocket?!"

After Yan Bugui's reminder, Liu Haizhong came to his senses and ran home without saying anything. As soon as he entered the house, Liu Haizhong asked, "Old woman, how much money did you give to that little bastard Liu Guangqi?!"

The second aunt replied: "Didn't you ask me to give him fifty yuan?!" Then she asked: "What's the matter?!"

Liu Haizhong replied: "We were all deceived by that guy."

The second aunt was stunned and asked, "Old Liu, what's going on?!"

Liu Haizhong asked, "He came to our house looking for Guangqi. He was called Ma Bolin. Do you remember him?!"

The second aunt thought for a moment and replied, "I remember! He has a good relationship with our Guangqi." Then she asked, "What's the matter?!"

Liu Haizhong replied, "This guy was assigned to the machine repair department of our factory. I met him today when I was having dinner in the factory. He took the initiative to say hello to me and thanked me. I was confused for a moment. Later I asked and found out that Liu Guangqi was among those assigned to the steel rolling mill. I don't know what was wrong with that guy. He took the initiative to apply to the school to be assigned to another place."

"What?!" Auntie was dumbfounded. She muttered to herself, "Didn't you say you were going to do an internship? How did you get assigned there?!"

Liu Haizhong said: "I asked for leave to go to their school to ask. I don't know who the guy got the connection from. When he arrived in Tianjin, he just reported to the unit and was transferred away."

The second aunt covered her chest and said with a sad face: "What sin have I committed! How could I give birth to such an ungrateful person!" Then she asked: "Old Liu, Guangqi ran away, what should we do in the future?!"

Liu Haizhong said, "Don't worry! It's not like home outside. When he suffers outside, he will think of us. Then he will come back! When he comes back, I will show you how I will deal with him!"

Liu Haizhong would never have thought that today would be Liu Guangqi's wedding day. Liu Guangqi applied to the school for assignment to another place. The reason was to support national construction. In fact, he had a girlfriend when he was in school. The girl was from Tianjin. There was a girl in every nine rooms in the family. She was the apple of the eye of the whole family. It was impossible for her to stay alone in the city. After graduation, her family arranged a job for her and urged her to return to Tianjin. The girl was reluctant to leave Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi didn't want to stay in this family, and now he had a perfect excuse. In order not to give up love, Liu Guangqi took the initiative to tell his girlfriend that he was willing to be a son-in-law. Liu Guangqi's girlfriend also took Liu Guangqi to Tianjin to meet her parents. Seeing that Liu Guangqi was a good person, the girl's parents agreed to their matter. Then, under the arrangement of the girl's family, Liu Guangqi applied to the school. Then he followed his girlfriend to Tianjin as he wished. When he arrived in Tianjin, Liu Guangqi and his girlfriend reported to the Tianjin Machine Tool Factory, and were transferred to the Tianjin Bicycle Factory the next day.

At the same time, Xu Damao's wife Liu Aidi came back. When Liu Aidi saw Xu Damao fiddling with the radio, she smiled and asked, "You seem to be in a good mood today!"

Xu Damao replied, "I've always been in a good mood." Then Xu Damao picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Is my medical examination report out?!"

"Look at how anxious you are. It's been so many days, how can you not come out?!" Liu Aidi took out Xu Damao's medical examination report from her bag, handed it to Xu Damao, and said, "The doctor said that you have recovered well. But you still need to continue taking the medicine. Go for a follow-up check-up in two months. If there is no problem, we can prepare for pregnancy."

"Good! Good! Good!" Xu Damao excitedly said "good" three times in a row while looking at the report, and then said: "I, Xu Damao, will finally make it!"

Liu Aidi said: "Don't be too happy. The doctor said that these two months are crucial. Don't let your efforts go to waste!"

Xu Damao smiled and hugged Liu Aidi, kissed her on the face, and said, "Don't worry, my wife! You have endured it for so many years, so two months won't make a difference."

Liu Aidi said: "Don't I know what kind of person you are?! I'm just giving you a warning. Besides, Qin Huairu is not an ordinary woman. You should avoid flirting with her in the future."

Xu Damao said with a smile: "They say rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. Even if Qin Huairu's grass is tender, I won't eat it."

Liu Aidi continued, "My colleague Xiao Ge's wife works at the Public Security Bureau and is investigating the sand-casting workshop in your factory. From what she said, this matter is not as simple as it seems. It is probably related to enemy spies."

"Enemy spies?!" Xu Damao muttered, "What good things can there be in a foundry? How could they be targeted by enemy spies? Could they be mistaken?!"

Liu Aidi replied: "I don't know about that. Anyway, when you are at work, you should be more careful to avoid being schemed against."

"Yeah! I know!" Xu Damao agreed, frowning, thinking to himself: "Could Jia Dongxu's death be related to Yi Zhonghai?!" Others don't know how Jia Dongxu was transferred to the foundry workshop. Xu Damao knows it very well. It is precisely because Xu Damao knows it that he has doubts about Yi Zhonghai.

In a blink of an eye, it was five o'clock in the afternoon. Yan Jiekuang returned home with a backpack on his back. After entering the main room, Yan Jiekuang saw that the food was already on the table. He quickly took off the backpack and handed it to the third aunt, saying, "Mom, put the backpack in your room first. I'll clean it up later."

"Hey!" The third aunt took the backpack into the inner room as Yan Jiekuang instructed, then came out and made a bowl of cornmeal porridge for Yan Jiekuang. She asked, "Jiekuang, didn't you get your share for this month? Why did you bring something back again today?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "They delivered extra goods to the leaders."

"Oh!" The third aunt responded without further ado. She picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Yan Jiedi's bowl, urging her, "Eat quickly!"

Yan Jiedi smiled at the third aunt, lowered her head and ate her meal voraciously. Yan Jiefang drank half a bowl of cornmeal porridge, took a bite of a steamed bread, and said, "Dad, when I went home today, I heard the neighbors talking about Liu Guangqi. Did he really run away?!"

Yan Bugui nodded and asked, "Why?! You want to learn from him too?!"

Yan Jiefang swallowed the steamed bread in his mouth and said, "I won't learn from him! What's the point of being like him?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Liu Guangqi is just a gigolo. Can you compare with him?!"

Yan Bugui became interested at this time and asked, "Jie Kuang, do you know about Liu Guangqi?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I know a little, but not much. It seems that he has a girlfriend at school. This time he is going to his girlfriend's house to be a live-in son-in-law. I heard that his girlfriend's family is quite capable. It's better for him to be a live-in son-in-law than to stay in Beijing."
