Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

He Yuzhu shook his head and replied: "I didn't see it!"

He Yushui was stunned for a moment, found the first letter, tore open the envelope, took out the yellowed letter, and began to read. As he read, He Yushui's tears flowed down uncontrollably. After about twenty minutes, He Yushui finished reading the last letter and looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu stretched out his hands and hugged He Yushui into his arms, saying, "Girl, cry! Cry out all the unhappiness in your heart!"

He Yushui snuggled in He Yuzhu's arms and said, "Brother, I suddenly can't cry anymore."

He Yuzhu said, "If you can't cry, then don't cry! Brother brought braised pork today. Let's go back and eat!" After that, He Yuzhu pulled He Yushui up and walked towards the courtyard.

"Jie Kuang, what are you holding in your hand?!" He Yuzhu and He Yushui walked into the alley and saw Yan Jie Kuang carrying a sack and walking towards them from not far away.

"Brother Zhuzi! Sister Yushui!" Yan Jiekuang greeted the two and said, "I got out of school early today and went to the recycling station. I didn't expect to find some good stuff."

He Yushui asked curiously: "What good things are there in the recycling station?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Sister Yushui, there are a lot of good things there. It all depends on whether you have good taste."

He Yuzhu said: "I see you are carrying a lot of heavy things, let me help you carry it!"

"Thank you, Brother Zhuzi!" Yan Jiekuang readily handed the sack in his hand to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu lifted it up, and found the sack was quite heavy. He smiled and asked, "What's in this?"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I found some tools and some bicycle parts. I estimate that these parts can be put together to make a bicycle."

He Yushui joked, "Assembling a bicycle?! Do you have the skill to do that?! Don't let yourself get hurt by not being able to assemble the bicycle."

Yan Jiekuang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "It would be great if it works. If not, just sell the parts to the bicycle repairman at the corner of the alley, and you won't lose money."

"That's right!" He Yuzhu echoed, saying, "Jie Kuang, your food isn't that good. How about we go to my house for a meal tonight?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Brother Zhuzi, forget it! It's not appropriate for me to go. When I make some money in a while, I'll buy some meat and ask Brother Zhuzi to help me cook it."

He Yushui teased, "How can a little brat like you make any money?!"

Yan Jiekuang wanted to scold He Yushui, but he thought better of it. Who made He Yushui lack love? Yan Jiekuang said, "Sister Yushui, although I am not very old, I am no less capable than adults in making money."

The three of them talked one after another and soon reached the gate of the courtyard. Yan Bugui saw He Yuzhu put the sack in front of his house and asked curiously, "Silly Zhu, what's in the sack?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "This is your Jie Kuang's stuff. If you want to know what's inside, go ask your Jie Kuang."

"Wait!" Yan Bugui stopped He Yuzhu who was about to leave.

He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle, is there anything else?!"

Yan Bugui asked, "Shazhu, Yi Zhonghai swallowed up the living expenses your father He Daqing sent to you. Is this true?!"

He Yuzhu nodded and just opened his mouth. Liu Haizhong just came back from get off work. Liu Haizhong said, "Of course this is true. The factory has already announced it at noon. This Yi Zhonghai! I really didn't expect him to be such a person. You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

Yan Jiekuang returned to the house, put his schoolbag away, and walked to the door of his main hall. He pulled over a small stool, sat down, and quickly opened the sack and took out the things in the sack one by one.

Yan Bugui, who was chatting with Liu Haizhong, saw the things on the ground and asked hurriedly: "Jie Kuang, where did these things come from?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Where else could I get it?! Of course from the scrap recycling station. You don't know, I spent more than two hours today to get everything together." As he spoke, Yan Jiekuang began to fiddle with the bicycle parts on the ground with tools.

The noise made by Yan Jiekuang soon attracted the attention of the courtyard and the surrounding neighbors. Everyone gathered around Yan Jiekuang as if they were watching a joke. They were going to make fun of Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang didn't care and pretended to be indifferent, fiddling with the parts in front of him in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed. The prototype of the bicycle had already appeared. Yan Bugui, who was standing by, couldn't help but brighten his eyes and thought to himself: "I didn't expect this guy to have this skill?!" Then Yan Bugui began to think about how to maximize the profit.

Yan Jiekuang, who was busy assembling a bicycle, had no idea what his father was thinking. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

The third aunt brought the food into the main room, then came out and urged, "Jie Kuang, it's time to eat!"

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, and quickly moved the things into the house, then washed his hands and ran into the main room. When the neighbors saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they all went back to eat.

"Mom, what are you looking at?!" Jia Dongxu returned home and saw Jia Zhang lying on the windowsill, looking towards He Yuzhu's house.

"Dongxu, you're back?!" Jia Zhang smiled and greeted her son, then looked at Qin Huairu fiercely and urged: "What are you still standing there for?! Why don't you go to Shazhu's house and get the lunch box he brought back?!"

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mom, did Shazhu promise to give us lunch boxes?!"

Jia Zhang replied, "How is that possible?! But your wife has a way." After that, Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu again. Qin Huairu looked pitiful, looking at Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang with tears in her eyes, and said, "Mom! You can't come. What's the point of me going?!"

Jia Zhang's face immediately fell, and she asked in a cold voice: "Are you going or not?!"

Qin Huairu saw this and knew that if she didn't go to ask for it today, she would definitely not be able to escape. Qin Huairu sighed helplessly in her heart and compromised: "I'll go!" After that, Qin Huairu took a large bowl for food and prepared to go out. But she was stopped by Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "Who will eat if you take such a small bowl?!" Then Jia Zhang took a bowl that was usually used to knead noodles and replaced the bowl in Qin Huairu's hand, saying, "Then take this one. Hurry up! Don't dawdle! Do you want to starve Dongxu and my eldest grandson to death?!"

Bang Geng, who was lying on the bed, also said at this time: "Mom! Go quickly! I want to eat meat!"

Xiao Dang also shouted: "I want to eat meat!"

"You're such a loser, why would you want to eat meat?!" Jia Zhang glared at Xiao Dang, then looked at Bang Geng with a smile and said, "The meat should be eaten by my eldest grandson!"

Qin Huairu took the basin, walked out of the Jia family, walked to the middle of the yard, hesitated for a few seconds, walked quickly to the door of He Yuzhu's house, stretched out her hand to push the door and go in directly. But Qin Huairu didn't expect that He Yuzhu, who usually didn't lock the door, actually locked the door today.

Qin Huairu pushed the door twice but failed to open it. Her expression changed instantly. She knocked on the door and shouted, "Shazhu! Open the door! I'm your sister Qin!"
