Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I plan to leave in two days."

"Okay! I'll get you the certificate and letter of introduction right away." After saying that, Gao Junsong took Yan Jiekuang to the brigade headquarters.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!" As soon as Gao Junsong and Yan Jiekuang walked to the entrance of the brigade, they heard the phone ringing non-stop. Gao Junsong opened the door, walked in, picked up the phone, and asked, "This is Qingshan Brigade."

"Uncle Captain!" Su Zihui's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Su!" Gao Junsong called out, "Are you looking for Jie Kuang? He's right next to me. I'll give him the phone right now." After that, Gao Junsong handed the phone to Yan Jie Kuang.

Yan Jiekuang picked up the phone and said, "Hello, is this Xiaohui?!"

Su Zihui said: "Jie Kuang, my grandfather and his family have been rehabilitated."

Yan Jiekuang said: "I already know. I just sent them away."

Su Zihui continued, "My father has found you a place to return to the city. We have already completed the formalities for you. The things have been sent to you. It will probably arrive in a few days. Please complete the formalities as soon as possible, deal with the things over there, and come back as soon as possible. The children and I will be waiting for you at home."

"Okay! I got it! I'll be back as soon as possible." Yan Jiekuang hung up the phone, looked at Gao Junsong, and said, "Captain, I'm afraid I have to leave too."

Gao Junsong sighed and said, "Let's go!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Uncle Captain, Xiaohui and I will come back to see you if we have the chance."

Gao Junsong nodded silently and said, "I'll give you a certificate and a letter of introduction right away."

After getting the letter of introduction and the certificate, Yan Jiekuang went back. Because he was leaving soon, Yan Jiekuang planned to take advantage of the next few days to search the mountains for more meat. When he returned, he would bring more meat back.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed. Yan Jiekuang calculated the date and the stuff should have been delivered. And it hadn't snowed in the past two days. Yan Jiekuang wrapped himself up tightly and went out. When he got outside the village, Yan Jiekuang used his spiritual sense to scan around and after making sure there was no one around, he took out the pickup truck he had put in the space and drove it straight to the town.

When they arrived outside the town, Yan Jiekuang put the pickup truck into the space, then took out a sack filled with pheasants, rabbits and a wild boar leg, and walked slowly towards the post office.

Arriving at the door of the post office, Yan Jiekuang opened the door, lifted the curtain and walked in. Gao Limei, who was sitting by the stove knitting a sweater, saw that it was Yan Jiekuang who came in, and immediately showed a bright smile on her face. She put down the things in her hands, walked to the counter and said, "Brother, you are here!"

Yan Jiekuang handed the sack in his hand to Gao Limei and said, "Sister Limei, please help me check if there is any letter for me."

Gao Limei said, "There is no letter for you, but there is a package." Gao Limei took the sack, weighed it, and said happily, "Wait, I'll get it for you." Gao Limei walked to the back with the sack, opened it and took a look at the things inside, smiled and tied the sack again, and then hid the things. Then Gao Limei came out with Yan Jiekuang's package and said, "This is your package."

Yan Jiekuang took the package and opened it directly. Inside was a paper box, which contained materials for Yan Jiekuang's return to the city. When Gao Limei saw the materials, she suddenly asked, "Brother, are you going back to the city?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Yes! I will go back after completing the formalities. In a blink of an eye, I have been here for almost seven years. Sister Limei, I will not be able to send you anything in the future. This gift is just a small token of my appreciation."

"How can this be so embarrassing?!" Gao Limei said as she was about to give the ticket to Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang smiled, put the things into his bag and turned to walk out of the post office.

At this time, those who had connections at home went back to visit their relatives and find ways to get back to the city, so the educated youth had little time to handle the procedures. Yan Jiekuang had come here once before when he helped Su Zihui to go back to the city, so he was familiar with the place. He gave out some candy and cigarettes, and it only took more than ten minutes for Yan Jiekuang to complete his procedures. Then Yan Jiekuang went to the public security office in the town and handled the household registration transfer procedures. Then he returned to the village.

After returning to his home in Qingshan Brigade, Yan Jiekuang collected all the things that needed to be collected. After checking to make sure nothing was missing, Yan Jiekuang walked to the door of Gao Junsong's house and knocked on it.

"Who is it?!" Tian Xiuqin asked when she heard the knock on the door.

Yan Jiekuang replied: "It's me, your aunt! Yan Jiekuang!"

Tian Xiuqin walked out of the house, opened the door, and asked, "Xiao Yan, what's the matter?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Aunt, is the captain here?!"

"He's in the house! Come in quickly!" Then Tian Xiuqin shouted into the house, "Boss! Jie Kuang is here."

"Uncle Captain!" Yan Jiekuang walked into the room and greeted him with a smile. Gao Junsong asked, "Little Yan, have you completed all the formalities?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "All the formalities have been completed. I am here to say goodbye to you." Then Yan Jiekuang took out the key, put it on the table, and said, "This is the key to my room. I told Gou Wa last time that all the furniture in the room will be given to him, including the two bicycles that Zihui and I have."

When Tian Xiuqin heard what Yan Jiekuang said, she was stunned and looked at Gao Junsong unconsciously.

Gao Junsong sighed and said, "Xiao Yan, let me be honest. Among all the educated youths who came to our brigade, you are the only one who always cares about our brigade. We really don't want you to leave. But your wife and children are in Sijiucheng. We can't be so selfish. We can only let you go. Come back with the children when you have time. If you want to eat any wild food, just write to me, your captain uncle. I'll ask Gou Wa to send it to you."

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded and said, "Uncle Captain, Aunt! I'll leave first!" After that, Yan Jiekuang turned around and left.

Looking at Yan Jiekuang's back, Gao Junsong murmured to himself, "What a good young man!" Then Gao Junsong said to his wife, "Old woman, go call Gou Wa and his three brothers over, let's go move the things."

At the same time, in the old city of Sijiu, in the compound.

A jeep stopped in front of the Su family's small western-style building. Ding Huawei and his wife got out of the car. Hearing the noise, Su Zhongguo and his wife came out of the house. Su Zhongguo smiled and greeted them: "Old Ding, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, you are still so strong?!"

Ding Huawei said: "This is all thanks to Xiaohui and her husband. If it weren't for them, we would have died long ago."

"Come in!" Su Zhongguo and his wife led Ding Huawei and his wife into the small western-style building. After asking them to sit down, Su Zhongguo asked, "How did the higher-ups arrange you?"

Su Zhongguo said: "I have seen through everything in the Northeast over the years and have figured it out. The higher-ups want to reinstate me, so I directly applied for retirement. Now I am going through the process. I estimate it will be approved in the next few days."

Su Zhongguo asked: "Are you really willing to retire?!"

Ding Huawei replied: "Why would I be reluctant?! Besides, I don't understand the situation now, what can I do if I go back?! It's better to give up my position voluntarily and gain a good reputation."
