Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"What?!" He Yushui was immediately surprised when she heard what He Yuzhu said, and asked, "Brother, is this true?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "I went to the girl's house to propose marriage today, and I also had a drink with my father-in-law at noon. How could this be false?!"

He Yushui immediately jumped up and said, "Brother, you are really amazing! You did something so great without making any noise?!"

He Yuzhu boasted like a woman selling melons, "As your brother, I either don't do it or I make a big splash. When I bring my wife back tomorrow, let's see what they can do!!"

He Yushui asked, "Brother, you can get the certificate tomorrow and bring the person back. Aren't you afraid of people gossiping?!"

He Yuzhu said hurriedly, "What is there to gossip about?! Now we emphasize keeping everything simple. Are they trying to go against the higher-ups?! Besides, don't you need tickets for everything now?! I want to do something big, but I need tickets too?! This is what they call a ticket that makes a hero fail." Then he asked, "Have you had dinner?!"

"No! I'm waiting for you to do it for me!" He Yushui replied very straightforwardly.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you hungry?!"

He Yushui replied: "I'm hungry! Didn't you buy me some cookies a while ago?! I ate two cookies."

"Then wait a moment, I'll make it right away!" He Yuzhu walked to the cupboard, opened it, took out two rolls of dried noodles, walked to the stove, and said, "Let's just make do with it tonight. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow night."

On the other hand, when He Yuzhu was busy cooking noodles, Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and sat at the table in a daze. Liu Guiying saw that her man seemed to have aged a lot, and suddenly felt distressed. Liu Guiying sighed and said, "Old Yi, you are not the head of the courtyard now. Can you please stop interfering in the affairs of the courtyard in the future?!"

Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses, put out the cigarette in his hand, glared at his wife, and said, "If I don't act as a manager, how can I plan for retirement?!"

Liu Guiying sighed and said, "It's all my fault! I'm useless. I couldn't give you a boy or a girl. I feel so sorry for your Yi family! If it really doesn't work out, let's get a divorce! Find a younger woman who can give you a child."

"What are you talking about?!" Yi Zhonghai replied unhappily, thinking to himself: "If it weren't for my reputation, I would have divorced you long ago. Why would I wait until now?!" Then Yi Zhonghai remembered Bang Geng, sighed unconsciously, and said: "Don't say such things again in the future. It is said that young couples will be companions in old age. We have been married for so many years, whether we have children or not, it is the same."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Guiying was so moved! Even the slight suspicion she had aroused when she heard rumors that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were having an affair a few days ago disappeared.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked: "Guiying, who do you think is behind this?!"

Liu Guiying was stunned for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say." Then she asked, "Do you have a suspect?!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "It's because I don't know who it is that I'm upset."

Liu Guiying said: "There has been something wrong with the Yan family these past two days. Do you think it could be the Yan family?!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and rejected it, saying, "It can't be the Yan family." Then he changed the subject and continued, "But before we find the person who schemed against us, we must be more careful and not let others scheme against us again."

"Oh! I understand! It's getting late, let's go to bed early!" After saying that, Liu Guiying folded the sewn clothes and put them into the chest of drawers.

Time passed little by little, and every household in the courtyard fell asleep. A little after eleven o'clock in the evening, Jia Dongxu, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, then tiptoed out of bed, put on his clothes, walked to the closet, opened the closet, took out a hacksaw blade from it, then walked to the door, gently opened the door and left the room.

Walking in the moonlight, Jia Dongxu came to the front yard, next to Yan Bugui's bicycle. In fact, Jia Dongxu had set his eyes on this bicycle the night before. But Yan Bugui was afraid that the bicycle would be stolen, so he put it in the house, leaving Jia Dongxu empty-handed.

After being tricked by Yan Jiekuang today, Jia Dongxu, who was holding a grudge against him, wanted to steal Yan Bugui's bicycle and sell it on the black market. This way he could vent his anger, make money, and annoy the Yan family, killing three birds with one stone.

But the idea is good, but the reality is cruel. Jia Dongxu didn't expect that the Yan family would hang a bell on the chain. Just as Jia Dongxu picked up the lock and was about to saw it open, the bell rang. Yan Jiekuang heard the bell, quickly got up from the bed, picked up the stick behind the door, and rushed out.

After all, he is the father of the thief saint. Jia Dongxu is fast enough! The moment the bell rang, Jia Dongxu cried out secretly; "Not good!" Then he dropped the lock and ran directly to the middle courtyard. When Yan Jiekuang came out of the house, he saw a black shadow disappearing at the gate of the middle courtyard.

Yan Bugui also came out of the house at this time. Yan Bugui saw Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Jiekuang, are you okay?!"

"It's okay!" Yan Jiekuang replied, and walked to the side of the bicycle. In the moonlight, Yan Jiekuang found a piece of saw blade that fell on the side of the bicycle. Yan Jiekuang picked up the saw blade, looked at it, and handed it to Yan Bugui, saying, "Dad, it seems that the bicycle can't be parked outside at night."

Yan Bugui said, "If we can't stop, then we won't. We have room for it at home anyway." Then he asked, "Jie Kuang, did you see the person who stole the car just now?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Dad, in our courtyard, besides the Jia family, is there any other family with dirty hands and feet?!"

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "It's all Yi Zhonghai's fault. If he hadn't always been on the Jia family's side, the Jia family wouldn't be so lawless."

Yan Jiekuang urged, "Dad, let's talk later! Push the bicycle back home first."

"Hey!" Yan Bugui responded, took out the key, opened the lock, and pushed the bicycle into the house.

Nothing happened that night. At seven o'clock the next morning, He Yuzhu appeared at the gate of the steel mill. Da Liu from the security department saw He Yuzhu and joked, "Master He, you came really early today!!"

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette box from his pocket, scattered the cigarettes around, and said, "Today is a good day for you guys. I'm going to the union to get a letter of introduction and ask for leave at the same time." After that, He Yuzhu threw the remaining cigarette to Da Liu, and without saying anything else, he went straight into the steel mill.

A little after 7:30, He Yuzhu finally waited for the union members. When the union members entered the factory gate, they heard the security department say that He Yuzhu came to the factory to get a marriage introduction letter. Seeing He Yuzhu, the union member didn't say much, just asked a few simple questions, and then opened the letter of introduction. He Yuzhu took the letter of introduction with a smile, then took out cigarettes and candies from his pocket, said hello to the union members and left. Then He Yuzhu went to Song Defu in the cafeteria. He Yuzhu told Song Defu about the marriage, and then stuffed a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes into Song Defu's hands. Song Defu didn't make it difficult for He Yuzhu, and directly agreed to He Yuzhu's request for leave.
