Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Su Zihui picked up the cup, took a sip of Lekoufu, and said, "When the wind just started, Yuan Xiaojun fell in love with my good friend He Zhenzhen. But He Zhenzhen didn't like Yuan Xiaojun. Yuan Xiaojun climbed over the wall into He's house when He Zhenzhen was not around, and hid a few foreign books in the study of He Zhenzhen's father. Then Yuan Xiaojun rushed into He Zhenzhen's house with people wearing red hoop and searched out the foreign books he had hidden. Just with these few foreign books, Yuan Xiaojun destroyed my friend's family."

Su Zihui was very calm when he spoke, but Yan Jiekuang could tell from Su Zihui's facial expression that Su Zihui was trying to control his emotions. Yan Jiekuang sighed and moved his chair to the side of Su Zihui. Su Zihui rested his head on Yan Jiekuang's shoulder, as if he had found support, and continued: "In those years, he did a lot of bad things. He hurt a lot of people. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come. When the time comes, everything will be repaid."

Yan Jiekuang consoled her, "Justice will never be absent, it will just be delayed. Girl, don't think too much."

"Yeah!" Su Zihui responded and said nothing more.

At the same time, the brigade headquarters.

Gao Junsong put down the phone and angrily said to Tian Dazhuang: "I really don't know what the people in the Youth League Office do for a living! Why do they send all kinds of people to us?"

Tian Dazhuang put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "It's pretty good now."

Gao Junsong said, "What's good? It's just that the next batch of educated youth will not be sent to our place. But there are several batches of educated youth coming here every year. If they are not sent here this time, there will be the next time."

Tian Dazhuang asked, "Didn't the county say they were hiring?!"

Gao Junsong said: "There are recruitments, but each commune only has a few quotas. Only one or two can be assigned to our team. I will ask at the next meeting."

Tian Dazhuang lit another cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "If we give all the job openings to the educated youth, the people in our brigade will have objections."

Gao Junsong said, "Old Tian, ​​you think too much! The educated youth have to come to our place to work in the countryside for two years before we can recruit them. Among these educated youth, only Gong Liang and his group are qualified. The others have to wait until the second half of the year. Besides, the higher-ups didn't explicitly say that we must recruit educated youth?! All the young people in our brigade who meet the requirements can participate. Whoever passes the exam will go."

Tian Dazhuang hesitated for a few seconds, nodded silently, and said: "Among so many educated youth, only Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui are sensible. We don't need to worry about them."

Two months later, Gao Junsong came back from a meeting at the commune and brought back news about Yuan Xiaojun. After all, those people had not fallen, and Yuan Xiaojun's problem was not serious, so he was transferred to the northwest to continue working in the production team. However, as the old saying goes, if you pull out a carrot, you will also find mud. When investigating Yuan Xiaojun, it was found that his father and his uncles all had problems. In addition, it was found that Yuan Xiaojun's mother was a spy lurking undercover by the Japanese. Now, Yuan Xiaojun's family was wiped out.

Time flies, and years pass like songs. In a blink of an eye, it was the end of October 1975. It had been the sixth year since Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui came here to work in the countryside. Many of these educated youth left here either because of connections or because they became workers, peasants, and soldiers. But there were far fewer people who left than came. Some educated youth who couldn't make it found locals to marry. Yan Jiekuang returned home with a backpack on his back. Su Zihui, who was watching a movie in the guest room, heard the door open and walked out of the guest room with a big belly.

Yan Jiekuang rushed over, supported Su Zihui, and said, "Auntie, can't you just stay in the room? Why did you come out?!"

Su Zihui smiled and replied, "I'm not that delicate."

Yan Jiekuang said: "If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the child in your belly, right?!"

"I know! You're so nagging! Even more nagging than my grandma and the others." After saying that, Su Zihui asked, "How was the harvest in the mountains today?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "How can I come down empty-handed after going up the mountain? I was lucky today and shot a few pheasants. I'll make soup for you later. I'll also send some to grandpa and the others."

Su Zihui asked: "Are we going back to visit our relatives this year?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked back: "Do you want to go back?!"

Su Zihui said, "I'm still more than two months away from my due date. I want to go back to Sijiu City to give birth, and then take a rest in Sijiu City before coming back."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and agreed, "Okay! After we distribute the food, I will tell the captain. I will ask him to issue us a certificate and a letter of introduction."

Su Zihui then asked: "After we leave, what will happen to the projector at home?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "The brigade has long wanted to set up its own projection team. The captain has also told me about it several times. I will talk to the captain later and transfer the projector and film copies to the brigade." Then he asked, "Are you willing to transfer the projector to the brigade?!"

Su Zihui replied: "Why would I be reluctant? It can be considered as a contribution to the team."

"Xiao Yan, are you home?!" At this moment, Gao Junsong's voice was heard outside the door.

Yan Jiekuang hurried to the door, opened it, and asked, "Captain, why are you here?!"

Gao Junsong said, "I came to borrow your projector. I have just paid my taxes, and it's a good opportunity to show a few movies while the weather is not too cold, so that everyone can relax."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Captain, you came just in time! I was just going to tell you about this. Xiaohui and I plan to go back to Sijiu City to visit relatives after distributing the food. We will also come back after giving birth to the baby. The projector is at home, and it is not convenient for you to use it. We just discussed it and plan to transfer the projector and the copies to the brigade. I wonder if you are willing to take it, Captain?"

"Yes! Why not?!" Gao Junsong echoed excitedly, saying, "Xiao Yan, we have actually wanted to buy your projector and copies for a long time. We were just too embarrassed to ask for it. Now that you've asked, we will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Uncle Captain, wait a minute, you guys come and get it! Take the projector parts with you as well. As for how to repair the projector, your dog boy can do it."

Gao Junsong said, "Xiao Yan, I really don't know what to say! If you hadn't passed on the skills to my stupid boy, who knows what would happen to him now?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Uncle Captain, please don't say that! If Gou Wa doesn't want to learn, there's nothing I can do even if I want to teach him."

Gao Junsong said, "That's it. Wait a minute, go to the brigade headquarters. I'll ask Lao Wu to give you the money."

"Okay! I got it!" Yan Jiekuang sent Gao Junsong out the door and turned to look at Su Zihui. Su Zihui smiled at Yan Jiekuang and said, "Go cook! I'm a little hungry!"

"Okay! I'll cook right away." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang helped Su Zihui into the guest room, then went to the kitchen with the backpack.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed. The brigade began to distribute food. Yan Jiekuang, as he did in the past when he went back to visit his family, stored the food he had exchanged for work points in the warehouse of the brigade. Then he sent the remaining food and meat at home to the cowshed. Because they were away from the village for a long time this time, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui were worried about the people in the cowshed, so they specially prepared a lot of food, medicine and money for them. After everything was arranged, Yan Jiekuang took Su Zihui on the road back to Sijiucheng to visit his relatives.
