Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Gao Junsong pulled Ma Yonggang aside and asked, "Which farm should we send them to?!"

Ma Yonggang replied, "There's a new cadre school in Qing'an, and we plan to send all these people there. It's their bad luck that we collected something that shouldn't have been there. If someone admits it, we will just take away the owner of the item. Since no one admits it, we can only take away everyone in the same room."

Gao Junsong said, "You really know how to pick the right time. Why did you come today, instead of earlier or later? You came because you knew our brigade was distributing food today, right?!"

Ma Yonggang laughed and said, "I really didn't know your brigade was distributing food today. If I had known, I would have come to your brigade two days earlier before going to other brigades."

Gao Junsong asked: "What?! Did other teams also gain something?!"

Ma Yonggang replied: "Yes! The problem is much more serious than your brigade's."

Gao Junsong then asked: "Why didn't you take those people away?!"

Ma Yonggang looked at Gao Junsong as if he were a fool and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? He's my old army commander. I dare not touch others but him. I tell you, keep an eye on the people in your brigade! Don't make any trouble. I don't have time to hang around your brigade."

After about ten minutes, Ma Yonggang and his men escorted the group of educated people onto the truck. Watching the truck go away, Gao Junsong breathed a sigh of relief. After sending the onlookers away, Gao Junsong walked into the cowshed and reminded them: "Be careful! Don't contact the villagers today, especially the educated youth. If you need anything, I will bring it to you."

Ding Huawei said, "Xiao Gao, don't come here unless you have work to do. This will avoid unnecessary trouble for you. We have my granddaughter and her boyfriend here, so you don't have to worry. Now that the cowshed is empty, shouldn't we bring the cows back? Otherwise, the cowshed will not be worthy of its name."

Gao Junsong said, "The cattle will not be brought back. But I will get some piglets in the spring. In addition to working normally, you can help the team raise pigs. This way, no one will gossip."

"Okay! Let's do as you say! Go back soon!" After Ding Huawei sent Gao Jinshan away, Luo Dajun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Without those annoying people around, our future life will be much easier."

When the others heard Luo Dajun's words, they all smiled at the same time and didn't say much. It was a kind of tacit agreement!

At eight o'clock in the evening, Su Zihui, who had been waiting all afternoon, finally received a notification from Yan Jiekuang. The two of them quietly left from the back door carrying their backpacks. More than ten minutes later, Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang arrived near the cowshed together. Yan Jiekuang released his spiritual sense to check the surrounding situation. After confirming that there were no outsiders, Yan Jiekuang immediately took Su Zihui into the cowshed, put his backpack outside Ding Huawei's house, and whispered: "I'll help you guard outside. If there are outsiders, I will notify you." After that, Yan Jiekuang ran quickly and hid behind a tree not far from the cowshed.

After Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang hid, he reached out and knocked on the door. When Ding Huawei heard the knock, he immediately opened his eyes, climbed up from the kang, put on a coat, walked to the door, and whispered, "Who?!"

Su Zihui heard the question and replied, "Grandpa, it's me!"

Ding Huawei opened the door, helped Su Zihui bring her things into the house, and asked, "Girl, are you okay?!"

Su Zihui couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Ding Huawei's arms and started crying, saying, "Grandpa, I'm so glad you're all right. I was really scared this afternoon."

Ding Huawei replied with a smile: "Don't worry! Grandpa is fine. Those little bastards want to find things from us, but it's impossible." Then he asked: "You came here alone, where is your partner?!"

Su Zihui replied, "He's guarding outside!" Then Su Zihui took out the things he brought from the backpack and said, "Jie Kuang heard from the team leader that all the food he sent to you was coarse grain. He was worried that you wouldn't be able to keep it, so he brought you some fine grain today. In addition, there are some cured chicken, cured meat and cured rabbit, as well as some vegetables dried in the summer. I also brought wine for you old men and milk powder for grandma. Let me tell you, wine is not easy to get now. You should drink it sparingly. In two days, I will bring you some dry goods from the mountain."

Gu Ruoxue walked to Su Zihui's side, hugged Su Zihui, looked at the things on the table, and asked: "These things are probably prepared by your partner, right?!"

Su Zihui said shyly, "His things are still mine! Wait two years, when we are old enough, we will get the marriage certificate."

Ding Huawei asked: "Xiao Hui, have you really thought it through?! Are you going to follow him for the rest of your life?!"

Su Zihui nodded heavily and said, "Think about it! He is like a good book. The longer you read, the more interesting it becomes. And the more attractive it becomes. I think he is much better than those dandies in the compound."

Gu Ruoxue asked: "What if you get married here and can't go back in the future?!"

Su Zihui replied, "Grandma, I have thought about this question a long time ago. I also asked him. He said that the current situation is temporary and he believes that it will change in a few years. Our top priority now, in addition to working, is to seize the time to read books. There is no harm in learning more. And opportunities are prepared for those who are prepared. Maybe one day spring will suddenly arrive."

Gu Ruoxue said: "The fact that he can say such things shows that your partner is not a simple person. I feel relieved to leave you to him!"

After staying in the cowshed for more than half an hour, Su Zihui reluctantly left. After Su Zihui left, Gu Ruoxue urged, "It's not appropriate to leave so many things outside. Go and call them to help hide the things."

"Hey! I'll go call them right away!" Ding Huawei said and walked out the door. Not long after, Luo Dajun and others came in from outside, helped carry the things and left.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui received letters from home one after another. In Yan Jiekuang's letter, he wrote some recent news about the family and the courtyard. Yan Bugui also put 20 yuan and several industrial coupons in the letter. Yan Jiekuang smiled unconsciously when he saw the money and coupons. When Yan Jiekuang sent things home, he didn't care what his parents would send, but he depended on their attitude. The fact that Yan Bugui could send 20 yuan and industrial coupons showed that Yan Jiekuang's transformation of Yan Bugui in recent years was relatively successful.

Su Zihui wrote in the letter that her family missed her and told her to be careful. She also put fifty yuan and some national food coupons in the envelope.

On the morning of the second day after Su Zihui received the letter, just after dawn, Su Zihao appeared at the gate of the yard. Yan Jiekuang, who had just finished washing up and was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, saw him and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?!"

Su Zihao looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "I'm looking for Su Zihui." Then he added, "I'm her brother."

"Wait a minute, I'll go call her!" Yan Jiekuang walked to the door of Su Zihui's room and shouted, "Is Xiaohui awake?!"

Su Zihui replied: "Awake!"

Yan Jiekuang then said, "Your brother is here."
