Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Pregnant?! This is good news!" Yan Jiecheng immediately showed a pleasantly surprised expression on his face and said, "I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow morning."

"Yeah!" Yu Li responded and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early!"

"Hey! I'll go get you some foot washing water right away." After saying that, Yan Jiecheng began to help Yu Li wash her feet.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Yan Jiecheng got up early, heated up the food he brought back last night, and then walked to Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

Yan Bugui stared at Yan Jiecheng for a while and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me. I'll help if I can. If I can't, don't blame me!"

Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly: "You can definitely help me with this. I want to exchange some national food coupons with you."

Yan Bugui asked, "How are you going to exchange it? Don't tell me. Bring me the local food coupons and exchange them one for one. The national food coupons include oil."

Yan Jiecheng saw that his little trick was exposed by his father. Although it was a little embarrassing, it was nothing to Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng asked: "Then how do you change it?!"

Yan Bugui touched his chin, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Local food coupons are now sold at 2 cents per pound, and national food coupons are about cents per pound. How about this! I won't let you suffer a loss, so I'll charge cents per pound. You give me a pound of local food coupons and add cents." Then he asked, "How much do you want?!"

Yan Jiecheng asked back: "How many do you have?!"

Yan Bugui said, "Don't worry about how much I have. Just tell me a number?!"

Yan Jiecheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Two hundred kilograms."

"Okay!" Yan Bugui readily agreed and said, "We have a deal! One hand pays the other hand delivers the goods." Then he asked, "When do you want it?!"

Yan Jiecheng was dumbfounded. He originally thought that Yan Bugui was lucky to have a few dozen kilograms. He never thought that his father would have so many national food coupons?!

National food coupons are not like local food coupons. Local food coupons, that is, local food coupons, have an expiration date. The reason why Yan Bugui has a lot of national food coupons is that he exchanged them for assembled bicycles and radios. When he exchanged them, he calculated them at 4 cents per pound. Anyway, Yan Bugui was making money inside and outside.

"I'll go get the money now." Yan Jiecheng went back to the house. Yan Bugui also went back to the inner room, took out the box of tickets from the cabinet, counted out 200 kilograms of national food tickets, put the box back into the cabinet, and walked out. Not long after, Yan Jiecheng came over with the money. Seeing the tickets on the table, Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up immediately, put the money on the table, picked up the tickets, and counted them in front of Yan Bugui.

While counting, Yan Jiecheng asked, "Dad, where did you get so many national food coupons?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "Don't worry about where it came from. It's all legitimate anyway." Then he asked, "What do you need so many national food coupons for?!"

Yan Jiecheng replied: "Change Yu Li's job."

Yan Bugui asked in confusion: "Isn't Yu Li's job at the textile factory pretty good? Why do you suddenly want to change jobs?!"

Yan Jiecheng counted the tickets twice and confirmed that there was no problem. He put the ticket in his pocket and said, "Yu Li might be pregnant. The job in the textile factory is good, but it's too tiring to work in three shifts. My master's daughter is going to join the army, so it's useless to keep this job, so I want to transfer it. I won't tell you anymore, I still have to accompany Yu Li to the hospital for a check-up!"

"Go! Go!" After Yan Bugui sent Yan Jiecheng away, he picked up the money on the table with a smile, counted it, and said, "I made another twenty yuan."

The third aunt asked, "Old Yan, why are you so mad so early in the morning? How did you make an extra twenty yuan?!"

Yan Bugui said: "Just now Jie Cheng asked me if I had national food coupons. I said yes. He asked me for 4 jin. Look, I just got 5 yuan. I bought the national food coupons at cents per jin. Now I exchange them for cents per jin. I make cents per jin."

The third aunt had also reacted by now and said, "Old man, you are still good at calculating."

Yan Bugui quickly raised his finger, made a gesture to silence, and said, "Be careful! Be careful, the walls have ears! If others find out, they will sue me. Our good days will be over."

The third aunt seemed to realize something at this time, and stopped talking and left the house with her toiletries.

After breakfast, Yan Jiecheng took Yu Li to the hospital on his bicycle. After the examination, Yu Li was indeed pregnant. The child was just over a month old. The doctor gave Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng a few instructions and sent them away.

"You're back?!" When the third aunt saw Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li coming in from outside, she immediately went to greet them and asked, "Is Yu Li really pregnant?!"

Yan Jiecheng replied: "I am pregnant, just over a month ago."

"Good! Good! Good! This is a good thing!" The third aunt echoed, and after watching Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng go into the house, she hesitated for a few seconds, went back to the house to get a can of malted milk, walked outside Yan Jiecheng's house, and said, "Yu Li, you are pregnant. You must keep up with nutrition. Take this can of malted milk and drink it!"

"Thank you, Mom!" Yu Li took the malted milk and asked, "Mom, can you come in and sit for a while?!"

"I don't want to sit anymore! I'm going back first!" After saying that, the third aunt turned around and left.

Yan Jiecheng looked at his mother's back and said sourly, "When did my mother become generous?!"

Yu Li replied, "It's not that my mother has become generous. It's because of the baby in my belly. Go quickly! Find a job as soon as possible. Then I can find someone to sell the job."

Yan Jiecheng said casually: "Haitang has been looking for a job, hasn't she?! Have you ever thought of giving her the job at the textile factory?!"

Yu Li said: "Who is Haitang? She is arrogant and looks down on the work in the textile factory."

In the original drama, Yu Haitang got into the steel mill as a broadcaster through the relationship of Director Yang's nephew. But now Director Yang has gone to the farm. Director Yang's nephew himself has no job. Not to mention Yu Haitang. Originally, Yu Li wanted to find a temporary job for Yu Li in the textile factory and let her work there first. She would find an opportunity to become a regular employee later. But Yu Haitang felt that the work in the textile factory was too tiring and was unwilling to do it.

"It's good enough that she has a job now. She's still picky. She'll suffer in the future. I'm leaving first! You better be careful at home alone." After saying that, Yan Jiecheng pushed his bicycle out.

It must be said that Yan Jiecheng's master was quite nice to Yan Jiecheng. When he heard that Yan Jiecheng wanted to work, he agreed on behalf of his daughter without thinking. Fearing that things would get complicated, Yan Jiecheng paid half of the money and agreed to go through the formalities after he came back with the car. The remaining money and tickets would be given directly to the master's daughter after the formalities were completed.

After the matter was settled, Yan Jiecheng returned home and told Yu Li about the matter, asking her to sell the job as soon as possible. Yu Li was also very capable. In the afternoon, Yan Jiecheng went to work and then found a colleague and sold the job for 750 yuan.

Five days later, Yan Jiecheng came back in the afternoon and learned that Yu Li had sold her job. Fearing that things would get complicated, he took Yu Li to the department store to find his master's eldest daughter and got the job done. In addition to the 100 kilograms of national food coupons that Yan Jiecheng promised to give, he also gave an extra 50 kilograms of national food coupons and 20 industrial coupons, which was considered a repayment of a favor.
