Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Hey!" Su Zihui responded, turned her head to look at the courtyard behind her, and followed Yan Jiekuang to the station not far away.

Arriving at the station, Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang waited for a short time before a bus arrived. The two boarded the bus, bought tickets, found a relatively empty place, and put down their luggage. The bus swayed along the way, stopping and starting. After about an hour, it arrived at the train station. After getting off the bus, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui walked into the waiting hall with their luggage.

Because Sijiucheng was the first stop, they waited for more than an hour before the ticket check began. Su Zihui walked in front with their tickets, and Yan Jiekuang walked behind with his luggage. Although there were many people on this train, few bought sleeper tickets. Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui got on the train, found their own berths, put their luggage under the bed, and sat face to face and started chatting.

After about half an hour, the train started. When the conductor finished checking the tickets, it was almost time for lunch. Yan Jiekuang opened his travel bag, took out two lunch boxes, handed one to Su Zihui, and said, "Before leaving, I asked the chef in our hospital to make it specially."

Su Zihui took the lunch box and asked, "What is this?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "There is a kind of rice in Guangdong Province called clay pot rice."

Su Zihui opened the lid and saw the shiny sausage inside. She smiled and said, "It smells really good."

Yan Jiekuang urged, “Eat it quickly! It won’t taste good if it gets too cold!”

"Hmm!" Su Zihui took out a spoon, stirred the rice like Yan Jiekuang, and started eating it bite by bite.

Time passed little by little, and Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui stayed on the train for five days. At each station, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui would open the window and buy some local specialties from the mobile car on the platform. When they arrived at the Dami County Railway Station, they got off the train with an extra travel bag.

After leaving the train station, Su Zihui looked at Yan Jiekuang a little embarrassedly. Yan Jiekuang said, "Let's go! Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and have a good meal. After eating, let's find a guesthouse to stay overnight. Tomorrow morning, we will take a long-distance bus back."

"Okay!" Su Zihui responded, and said, "I was in a hurry to come to the county last time. I haven't walked around much, so I'll take this afternoon to have a good look around."

"Beep beep!" At this moment, the sound of a car horn rang behind them. Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui looked in the direction of the sound. Then they saw a jeep stopped in front of them. Hong Yongjun raised his head from the car and asked, "Why are you two here?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "We just came back from visiting relatives."

Hong Yongjun said, "Well, you wait here for a while. I'm going to go to the county public security bureau to do some things. I'll take you back after I'm done."

Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui looked at each other. Su Zihui smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Hong." Then he asked, "Director Hong, how long will it take you to finish this job?!"

Hong Yongjun raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, "It will take about two hours."

Su Zihui thought about it and said, "Then we will wait for you at the entrance of the county supply and marketing cooperative in two hours."

"Okay!" Hong Yongjun responded and asked his men to drive.

After the car drove away, Su Zihui noticed that Yan Jiekuang was a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Where have I seen this car before?!"

Su Zihui joked: "Isn't it at the recycling station?!"

Yan Jie Kuangshun reacted and agreed with a smile: "You are right. But it is not a scrap recycling station, but a scrap warehouse of the commune repair station. Well! The car belongs to someone else now, there is nothing to worry about, let's go! Let's go eat."

After dinner, Yan Jiekuang accompanied Su Zihui to the county supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative here was much larger than the one in the commune. It could be said that there were all kinds of things in it. Because there was nothing they needed, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui walked around inside and then walked out.

After waiting at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for more than 20 minutes, a jeep stopped in front of Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang. Hong Yongjun got out of the car, put their luggage in the trunk, and then asked them to get in.

After Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang were seated, Hong Yongjun said to the driver, "Drive!"

In the car, Hong Yongjun asked: "Xiao Yan, does this car look familiar to you?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "It is somewhat familiar. Director Hong, is it the jeep I told you about?!"

Hong Yongjun replied, "It is indeed the car you mentioned. I listened to you and took people to the scrap warehouse of the repair station. I found two people who know cars and worked for a week to find all the parts. It is just like you said, except that it is a little old, everything else can still be used. Look, the people from the military transport regiment helped to repair the car. Now it has become our special car."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Director Hong, you only took the jeep, but you didn't take anything else, right?!"

Hong Yongjun laughed and said, "I knew you were dishonest. You like to hide things. This time when I was looking for jeep parts, I dug up a big fish. As for what kind of fish it is, I can't tell you."

Time passed quickly as we chatted along the way. Two and a half hours later, the jeep stopped at the gate of Shengli Commune Public Security Bureau. After Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui got off the car, Hong Yongjun helped them take down their luggage.

When the jeep drove into the police station, Su Zihui asked, "How are we going to get back to the brigade in this weather?!"

Yan Jiekuang raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, "Let's go to the gate of the commune first and see if Third Grandpa's ox cart is there? If it is, we'll take it back. If not, we'll have to find another way."

"Okay!" Su Zihui responded and followed Yan Jiekuang to the commune.

Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui were lucky, as a new batch of educated youth arrived today. They were supposed to arrive in the morning, but the train was delayed and they would arrive in the afternoon. When Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui arrived at the gate of the commune, Gou Wa was cleaning the tractor.

"Dogwa!" Su Zihui shouted.

When Gou Wa heard the barking, he turned his head and looked at Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui. Seeing the two, Gou Wa immediately went up to them and asked, "Yan Zhiqing, Su Zhiqing, why are you back?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Captain Uncle gave us leave to visit our family, and we have already taken advantage of it. If we don't come back when the time comes, are we going to stay at home? What if we are reported by someone with ulterior motives? Wouldn't that make things difficult for Captain Uncle?!"

Gou Wa said, "My father has gone to the Youth Affairs Office of the commune and will be out soon. Put your luggage in the car first. We will go back together later."

"Okay! Then we'll borrow all the luggage!" Yan Jiekuang put the luggage on the tractor. Su Zihui asked, "Gou Wa, isn't it Uncle San who usually drives the ox cart to pick up the educated youth? Why are you driving the tractor today?!"

Gou Wa replied, "These two days, the cows in our brigade are about to give birth to calves, so we can't leave. So my father asked me to make a trip."

"Hey?! Xiao Yan, Xiao Su, why are you back?! Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?!" Just then Gao Junsong walked over.
