Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Four days passed in a blink of an eye. Near dusk, the train that Yan Jiekuang was on arrived at the Sijiucheng Railway Station. Yan Jiekuang got off the train and followed the people leaving the station and walked out of the railway station.

"Yan Jiekuang!" Yan Jiekuang had just walked to the bus stop when Xiaodang's voice rang out from behind him. Yan Jiekuang turned his head to look at Xiaodang and asked, "Why are you here?!"

"I also want to ask you, why are you here?!" Xiaodang asked while looking at Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I came back to visit my relatives." Then he asked, "What about you?!"

Xiao Dang replied, "Don't mention it! I'm here to buy a train ticket."

"Buy a train ticket?!" Yan Jiekuang was stunned and asked, "Didn't you come back a long time ago? Why do you still need to buy a train ticket?!"

Xiao Dang showed a helpless expression on his face and said, "He is still my brother!"

Yan Jiekuang knew what was going on, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "Isn't your brother working in the Xinjiang Province? What has he done wrong?!"

Xiao Dang replied: "Don't mention it! My brother has really screwed us over."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Have you bought the train ticket?!"

Xiao Dang replied: "I didn't buy it. I'm planning to go back now!"

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded indifferently, saying, "The car I want to take is here. I won't chat with you anymore. I'm leaving first!" After that, Yan Jiekuang got into the car directly. When Xiaodang reacted and was about to get in the car, the car had already left.

Xiaodang was so angry when he saw the bus going away. But he had no choice but to accept his bad luck.

"Dad! I'm back!" Around six o'clock in the evening, Yan Jiekuang walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw Yan Bugui taking a walk.

Yan Bugui heard the shout, smiled and walked over, and asked, "Is everything done?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It's all done. Tomorrow we just need to go to the Public Security Bureau to register Xiaohui's household registration, and then go to the Street Office to get the grain relationship settled."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Come in quickly! You must not have eaten yet?! I'll ask your mother to make you some noodles." With that, Yan Bugui followed Yan Jiekuang into the gate of the courtyard.

The three aunts, Su Zihui and Yan Jiedi, who were chatting in the main hall, saw Yan Bugui and Yan Jiekuang coming in from outside. The three of them immediately showed joy on their faces. Yan Jiedi shouted excitedly: "Brother! You are back?!"

Yan Bugui hurriedly said, "Old lady, the child hasn't eaten yet! Hurry up and make him a bowl of noodles!"

"Hey!" The third aunt responded and stood up immediately. Yan Bugui then reminded: "Don't forget to put an egg in it!"

"Got it!" The third aunt who ran to the door responded and ran straight into the kitchen.

Yan Jiekuang walked over to Su Zihui and sat down, asking, "Have you been okay these days?!"

Su Zihui replied, "Nothing!" Then he asked, "Did things go smoothly?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It went smoothly! Very smoothly. Everything was done in half a day. Tomorrow, I just need to go to the Public Security Bureau to register your household registration, and then go to the Street Office to handle the grain and oil relationship. Everything will be done." Then Yan Jiekuang looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, I met Xiaodang at the train station when I came back. She said she bought a train ticket to accompany Qin Huairu to Xinjiang Province."

Yan Bugui frowned and said, "Bang Geng was caught a while ago. I guess Qin Huairu wanted to see Bang Geng for the last time!"

Yan Jie Di said: "Bang Geng is a disaster. Huai Hua could have been assigned a job after graduating from high school. But because of Bang Geng's incident, she was implicated. If her teacher hadn't felt sorry for her, she might not even have received her diploma. Later, in order to avoid going to the countryside, she froze herself to pneumonia and almost lost her life."

Yan Jiekuang was stunned for a moment and said, "I really didn't realize that. Huaihua, this little girl, is really cruel to me!"

Yan Bugui said: "This ruthlessness is just like her biological father Yi Zhonghai."

Yan Jiekuang said: "I really admire Qin Huairu. She knew the child was Yi Zhonghai's, but she refused to change the child's surname to Yi and let him keep the surname Jia."

Yan Bugui joked: "This surname is correct?! They are fake."

"What are you talking about?! So lively?!" Just then the third aunt came in with a bowl of noodles.

Yan Jiekuang took the bowl from the third aunt, smelled the aroma of sesame oil, and said, "This is the taste. I've been thinking about it for a long time." After that, Yan Jiekuang took the chopsticks handed to him by Yan Jiedi and began to eat voraciously.

Yan Bugui explained: "We were just discussing why Qin Huairu didn't let the child change his surname to Yi, but continued to let the child have the surname Jia."

"What's there to say?!" The third aunt replied, "Bang Geng has already caused them a lot of trouble. If Yi Zhonghai is involved, they won't be able to stay in Sijiu City anymore."

Yan Jiekuang ate a bowl of noodles and drank the soup. He burped unconsciously, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's still more comfortable to eat at home."

The third aunt said, "It will be some time before you return to the Northeast. Just tell me what you want to eat."

Yan Bugui joked: "Old lady, you are really generous!!"

The third aunt asked back: "Am I usually stingy with you?!"

Yan Bugui was instantly stunned, not knowing how to answer. Seeing her father's reaction, Yan Jiedi laughed and said, "Dad, aren't you usually very fluent in speaking?! Why are you silent now?!"

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiedi in anger and said, "You little girl, are you making fun of your father too?! I have loved you in vain."

Yan Jiedi said, "Dad, I swear to God! I am not making fun of you."

“I don’t believe you!” Yan Bugui muttered, looked at Yan Jiekuang, and urged: “Jiekuang, you’ve eaten. Go back to the house with your wife and have some rest!”

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded and accompanied Su Zihui out of the main room.

Seeing Yan Jiekuang and his wife leave, Yan Jiedi also planned to leave. But Yan Bugui stopped her. Yan Jiedi asked, "Dad, why are you stopping me?!"

Yan Bugui asked: "What?! What do you want to do?!"

Yan Jiedi replied: "Go back to sleep?! What's the matter?!"

Yan Bugui said, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Stay here for a while and keep me and your mother company. Then go back later."

When Yan Jiedi saw that her little thoughts were seen through by her father, she snorted, turned around and sat down next to the third aunt.

After about half an hour, Yan Bugui sent Yan Jiedi back to her room.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, after breakfast, Yan Jiekuang took the materials and went to the Public Security Bureau. He transferred Su Zihui's household registration to Yan Bugui's name, and then went to the Street Office to transfer all of Su Zihui's grain and oil relations.

After finishing his work, Yan Jiekuang walked around the street, found a deserted place, took out some vegetables from the space, and then returned to the courtyard.

"Hey?! Yan Jiekuang, you're back?!" Yan Jiekuang just walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw Liu Guangtian coming out. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Guangtian, how are you?!"

Liu Guangtian replied: "It's OK! It's just like this anyway, but it's better than lying in bed."

Yan Jiekuang then asked: "How is your brother?!"

"He's not much better than me. Anyway, both of us brothers are useless." After saying that, Liu Guangtian walked past Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang glanced at Liu Guangtian's back, sighed, and walked straight into the gate of the courtyard.
