Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

In a blink of an eye, it was early December. Yu Li had been working at the pastry counter of Xidan Department Store for two months. From being unfamiliar at the beginning, she gradually became an old hand. At noon that day, Yu Li had just received a customer. Yu Haitang appeared in front of the counter. The moment Yu Haitang saw Yu Li, she was stunned. Yu Haitang asked unconsciously: "Sister, why are you here?!"

Yu Li smiled and replied, "I'm pregnant. Your brother-in-law was afraid that I would be tired, so he used his connections to find me a job here." Then she asked, "I haven't been back for the past two months. Have you found a job?!"

Yu Haitang complained: "Sister, since my brother-in-law has a way to help you find a job, why doesn't he help me?!"

Yu Li said: "It's not that he won't help you find it. It's just that your requirements are too high. We can't help you."

"What do you mean you can't help me?! Can't you give me your job as a salesperson?!" Yu Haitang muttered to herself, and said, "Sister, my requirements are not high. If it's convenient, you can ask my brother-in-law to help me think of a solution."

Yu Li wanted to say, "It's inconvenient." But Yu Li was too proud to say, "Okay! I'll talk to your brother-in-law later. I don't know if it will work out."

"Comrade, give me a pound of donkey rolls." Just then a customer came to buy snacks.

"Please wait a moment! I'll get it for you right away!" Yu Li then weighed the donkey roll with swift movements. Seeing that Yu Li was busy, Yu Haitang felt embarrassed to stay any longer and could only leave obediently.

When Yu Li finished her work, her colleague Ma Lili asked, "Yu Li, was that girl your sister?!"

"Yes!" Yu Li replied.

Ma Lili said: "Your sister is pretty! Is she dating someone?!"

Yu Li replied: "No! This girl has high requirements. After graduating from high school two years ago, she didn't find a job and has been staying at home ever since. My parents have been worried about her so much that their hair has turned several gray."

Ma Lili, who originally wanted to be a matchmaker, immediately gave up the idea when she heard that she had no job after graduating from high school. Being pretty can't make a living, and Yu Haitang is not an easy person to deal with. It's unlucky for the Sui family to marry such a woman.

Knowing that Yu Li worked in a department store, Yu Haitang didn't want to continue shopping. She said hello to her classmates and went back. When she got home, Yu Haitang threw herself on the bed. When Yu Haitang's mother saw that Yu Haitang looked a little strange when she came back, she couldn't help but followed her into Yu Haitang's room and asked, "What's wrong?!"

"Nothing?!" Yu Haitang replied. Yu Haitang's mother said, "Your sister asked you to go to the Labor Bureau last time. Did you go?!"

"No!" Yu Haitang replied directly, sitting up suddenly and said, "My sister changed jobs. She is now a salesperson in Xidan Department Store."

“What?!” Yu Haitang’s mother was shocked and asked, “Why didn’t she tell her family?!”

Yu Haitang continued, "And my sister is pregnant."

Yu Haitang's mother was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face and she said, "This is good news! I'll go see her later." After that, Yu Haitang's mother went straight out of the house.

Yu Haitang was so angry when she saw her mother's back. But she had no choice but to slap the pillow a few times to vent her anger.

At the same time, He Yuzhu walked into the courtyard with a lot of things in his hands and a big smile on his face. Yan Bugui, who had just returned, saw He Yuzhu and asked with a smile: "Silly Zhu, what are you so happy about?! Is your wife pregnant again?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Uncle San, do you think my wife is an old sow?! She gives birth to one litter after another?! Today is to celebrate that my Yushui has been officially hired by the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant."

Yan Bugui then remembered that two years ago, He Yushui, who had been clamoring to take the college entrance examination, suddenly got excited and did not take the high school entrance examination, but took the technical secondary school entrance examination instead. Now it seems that He Yushui has really reached the graduation time. Yan Bugui said, "Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant, this plant is not bad, and I heard that the salary is good too."

"That's right!" He Yuzhu echoed, saying, "Yushui also worked hard during his internship there. He was retained in the labor and personnel department of their factory."

Yan Bugui patted He Yuzhu's shoulder meaningfully and said, "Shazhu, after your father left, you had to be both a father and a mother. It was not easy! Now Yushui has grown up and has a job. You have also explained your situation to your mother."

He Yuzhu said, "Third Uncle, I know! After my father left, I was a bit of a jerk. But who made me lucky enough to find a good wife?!"

Yan Bugui interrupted He Yuzhu unhappily and said, "Okay! Stop bragging about your own products. Go back now!"

"Uncle! I'll leave first!" After saying that, He Yuzhu walked past Yan Bugui.

"Shazhu, what delicious food do you want to buy?!" Jia Zhang, who was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles, saw He Yuzhu coming in and couldn't help asking.

He Yuzhu glanced at Jia Zhang, and without further ado, he walked directly to the door of his house, took out the key, opened the door and walked in, then slammed the door shut. Seeing He Yuzhu's reaction, Jia Zhang's face changed instantly, and she cursed and muttered, "You are such a wicked thing who was born by a mother but not raised by a father. You don't know how to unite with your neighbors. Don't fall into my hands in the future. Otherwise, I will make you pay!"

At the same time, in Dashanlan, in an abandoned yard, five teenagers sat together with a pile of things in the middle. The teenager sitting in the middle looked at Banggeng across from him and said, "Banggeng, you are good! Your skills are getting better and better!"

Bang Geng said, "Brother Biao, I'm not bragging. As long as I like something, there's nothing I can't get. These are just basic operations."

Brother Biao stared at Banggeng for a few seconds and reminded him, "Banggeng, you have to remember. If you walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet. No matter how good your craftsmanship is, you can't be careless." Then he asked, "What are you going to do with these things today?!"

Bang Geng replied: "Let's follow the old rules!"

"Okay!" Brother Biao readily agreed and said, "The day after tomorrow, or at this time, come over to get the money and ticket."

"Okay! Then I'll go first!" After saying that, Banggeng stood up, hummed a tune and left.

After Banggeng left, Shouhou, who was sitting next to Brother Biao, couldn't help but say, "Brother Biao, Banggeng is too arrogant. Something will happen sooner or later. Why do you still want to bring him along to play?!"

Brother Biao said, "Do you think I'm stupid?! The reason why I kept him was to push him out at the critical moment. But then again, this kid's skills are really good. He has the shadow of those Buddha masters in the past few days."

The skinny monkey replied, "I checked this guy. He was taken out of the city at the same time as those Buddhas. He just came back more than a month ago. I guess he learned his skills from those Buddhas."

"No matter who he learned it from. He is useful to us now, so let's keep him for now." After saying that, Brother Biao asked, "Have you checked the place you were asked to scout?!"

The skinny monkey replied: "I have seen it, but it is not easy to do anything there. I think we should just forget it!"

Brother Biao glanced at the skinny monkey and muttered, "Useless trash!" Then he stood up and said, "Pack up your things and let's go!"
