Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Auntie smiled and said, "What did I think it was?! So this is it?!"

Yan Bugui looked at his wife in surprise and asked, "You knew about this a long time ago?!"

The third aunt replied, "I don't know if they are dating, but I have seen a man waiting for our Jie Di at the entrance of the alley a few times. I guess that man is Xiao Hui's second brother. The guy is quite good-looking. And he is a soldier." Then she asked, "If Jie Di marries him, does she have to follow him to the army?

Yan Bugui replied: "I don't know about that. I heard that not everyone can follow the army. Besides, nothing has been decided yet. When he comes to propose marriage, we can ask him and we will know, right?!"

The third aunt said, "Old Yan, our house hasn't been renovated for a few years. Why don't we renovate it after Jie Di gets married? We should also improve our living environment."

Yan Bugui said: "The house is still habitable, why waste this money?! We can wait until the house breaks down in the future!"

Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui washed up and coaxed the child to sleep. The couple lay down on the bed. Su Zihui snuggled in Yan Jiekuang's arms and said, "I never thought that after all these years, my second brother would finally fall in love with our Jie Di."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Don't worry about your second brother. Your second brother and Jie Di's affairs are taken care of by our parents. We just need to wait for the wedding banquet."

Su Zihui asked: "What should we give them as a gift for their wedding?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It just so happens that I have a friend who has a batch of televisions. I originally wanted to buy two for my own use. Now I have to buy them anyway, so I might as well buy three. One for each of my parents and our family. The remaining one will be given to Jie Di as a dowry, as a gift from us to them."

Su Zihui said: "Since you are buying three, then buy one more and give the remaining one to your second brother."

"Okay! I'll listen to you! Go to bed early! I'll take care of the TV series later." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang hugged Su Zihui and went to sleep.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Yan Jiekuang suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at Su Zihui, who was sleeping soundly with steady breathing, Yan Jiekuang carefully put Su Zihui's hand on him aside, then climbed out of bed on tiptoe, put on his clothes and went out.

More than half an hour later, Yan Jiekuang arrived at a yard that was abandoned due to the earthquake. Yan Jiekuang took out all the remaining bicycles, radios, and sewing machines in the space, but then felt that it was not enough, so he took out some fruits.

Yan Jiekuang had just put his things away when he suddenly remembered the eight containers of blind boxes he had opened some time ago. He didn't know who was interested in old home appliances. Four containers were filled with black-and-white TVs and old-fashioned color TVs. The other four containers contained a four-speaker tape recorder, an old double-door and single-door refrigerator, and an old-fashioned washing machine.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yan Jiekuang found two 9-inch and 12-inch black-and-white TVs and a 20-inch color TV from a corner of the space.

After about a quarter of an hour, Yan Jiekuang heard two short and one long knocks on the door. Yan Jiekuang released his spiritual sense to scan it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he shouted, "Come in!"

A middle-aged man wearing a dog-skin hat walked in from outside. When he saw the TV box at Yan Jiekuang's feet, his eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so capable!!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "It's just so-so, I rely on the help of my brothers. The bicycle, radio and sewing machine are the last batch of goods. I won't have these three things in the future. The replacements for these three things are televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and tape recorders."

"Brother, you are this!" The middle-aged man gave Yan Jiekuang a thumbs up.

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Let's check the goods!"

"Okay!" The middle-aged man responded and winked at his men. The two men immediately stepped forward to inspect the goods. After about twenty minutes, the two men returned to the middle-aged man and said, "Brother, there is nothing wrong with the goods."

"Okay!" The middle-aged man nodded, muttered a few words to the people around him, then looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "I'll charge you 9 yuan for a 380-inch TV and 12 yuan for a 440-inch TV. The price of a color TV is a bit outrageous now. I'll charge you 1200 yuan."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and nodded, "Okay! Let's go with this price."

"Great!" The middle-aged man echoed, and with a wave of his hand, one of his men came over with two travel bags and put them down in front of Yan Jiekuang. The middle-aged man said, "Brother, old things are hard to deal with now. I can only pay you with money and gold bars."

"No problem!" Yan Jiekuang opened the two travel bags, took out a stack of money, moved it, and put the money back into the bag. Then he picked up two small yellow croakers and knocked them. After confirming that there was no problem, he threw the small yellow croakers in his hand into the bag, then picked up the travel bag and said, "I'll go first. See you next month!"

After Yan Jiekuang left with two travel bags, a short man walked up to the middle-aged man and asked, "Brother, do we really not need to send someone to follow him?!"

The middle-aged man glared at the short man and said, "We are here to make money. We don't want to die. Do you think he can get so many goods by himself?! And some of the things are in short supply. You have to remember that there is no end to the money you can make in this world. You can only make as much money as you are capable of. If you make more money than you can afford, be careful that you may get the money but not be able to spend it."

Yan Jiekuang walked around twice with two travel bags in his hand, and after making sure that there was no one behind him, he put the travel bags into the space, then removed his disguise and walked slowly towards home. Back at the courtyard, Yan Jiekuang locked the door, released his spiritual sense to scan, and made sure that everyone in the front yard was asleep. Yan Jiekuang immediately took out four 12-inch black and white TVs from the space, and moved the four TVs into his room one after another.

Su Zihui heard the noise, turned on the bedside lamp, and saw Yan Jiekuang moving boxes home, and immediately got up from the bed. Yan Jiekuang smiled at Su Zihui and asked, "Did I worry about you?!"

Su Zihui replied, "No." Then he asked, "Is this the TV you were talking about?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "They are all 12 inches. They are just black and white. We will change to color ones after a while." After that, Yan Jiekuang moved the last TV into the house, closed the door, and urged, "Go to bed! I'll be there soon."

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Yan Jiekuang was woken up by the two children. Looking at the two energetic little guys, Yan Jiekuang muttered speechlessly: "Well! I can't sleep in!"

Su Zihui also woke up at this time and said, "Wait two years, when the child is older, it will be fine."

Yan Jiekuang smiled bitterly, climbed up from the bed, and very consciously checked the diapers of the two children, and then helped the two children to urinate. After all these were done. Su Zihui also made the bed, poured water to help the two children wipe their faces. Yan Jiekuang ran to the side and skillfully made milk powder.
