Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Bugui replied, "They passed. They all passed. Not only your Xu Hongtao passed, but also He Yuejin from He Yuzhu's family passed."

When Xu Damao heard that He Yuejin had also passed the exam, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and his face suddenly fell. He asked, "Uncle, with Shazhu's stupid look, how could his son be admitted to university?!"

"Fool?! Your family owns the university?! Your son is allowed to go to the university, but my son is not allowed to go to the university?!" At this moment, He Yuzhu's lazy voice reached the ears of Xu Damao and Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Zhuzi, are you off work?!"

"Uncle!" He Yuzhu greeted him and walked in front of Xu Damao. Xu Damao instinctively took a step back and asked in a trembling voice: "Shazhu, what do you want to do?!"

He Yuzhu pretended to move his wrist and said, "Do you know what I want to do?!"

"Silly Zhu! Don't mess around!" Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and ran away. Seeing Xu Damao's embarrassed back, Yan Bugui and He Yuzhu laughed at the same time. Yan Bugui said, "Zhuzi, which university is your eldest son going to attend?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "My silly boy applied to the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Anyway, the name sounds impressive. As long as the child is willing to study, I, as a father, will support him even if I have to sell everything I have." Then he asked, "Uncle, Jie Kuang and his wife are in college. What about their jobs?!"

Yan Bugui said: "Zihui has been put on unpaid leave. Jie Kuang plans to sell his job. After graduating from university, he will be assigned a job. He doesn't need this job."

He Yuzhu asked: "Is Jie Kuang really planning to sell his job?!"

Yan Bugui asked back: "What?! Does anyone here need a job?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Lao Niu, who works in the cafeteria of our factory, has a son who has been back for more than half a year and still hasn't found a job. Lao Niu wants to spend some money to buy him a job. Nowadays, jobs are all one-on-one. As long as there are people who want to sell, there will be people who want to buy. It is very popular." Then he asked, "How much do you plan to sell Jie Kuang's job for?"

Yan Bugui replied: "My son Jie Kuang is a regular employee. From what I heard Jie Kuang said, he would sell it for about 1,000 yuan. As for how much it is, you have to ask him."

He Yuzhu said, "Uncle, please ask for me later."

Yan Bugui readily agreed: "Okay! Wait a minute, I'll ask for you. I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."

"Dad!" After He Yuzhu left, Yan Jiedi and his wife came in from outside, pushing their bicycles. Yan Bugui asked, "You two came really early?!"

Yan Jiedi said: "There is food to eat, can't we come earlier?!"

Yan Bugui invited his daughter and son-in-law into the house and asked, "You all got into college this time. What about your jobs?!"

Yan Jiedi replied: "We have already thought about it. We will just apply for unpaid leave. After graduating from university, we will return to our original unit. We will know the specific situation after we receive the admission letter and talk to the unit."

Yan Bugui was about to speak when the third aunt's voice rang out: "Daya is back?!"

"Grandma!" Yan Xuehong called out, took out the grain book and twenty yuan from his pocket, handed them to the third aunt, and said, "Grandma, this is what my dad asked me to give you."

The third aunt took the grain book and the money and asked, "Did your father visit you today?!"

Yan Xuehong nodded and said, "He went to my school at noon. He told me that he would be back in half a month."

"This kid, I really shouldn't have let him be a train conductor." The third aunt grumbled and said, "Da Ya, go do your homework! When your second and third uncles come back, we'll have dinner."

"Oh!" Yan Xuehong responded and went back to his room.

About half an hour later, Yan Jiekuang and his wife and Yan Jiefang's family came back. The third aunt saw Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Jiekuang, why did you come back so late today?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "I just took Zihui to see the house."

"House?!" The third aunt was stunned, and even Yan Jiefang and his wife were stunned. After a while, Yan Jiefang came to his senses and asked, "Third brother, did you really buy a house?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Of course! Do you think I'm joking?! The children are still young now. When they grow up, the current house will not be enough for them. Besides, they will need a house when they get married. Now the company allocates houses, and no one can predict what the situation will be like in the future. It is better to buy some houses now if you have the ability. They may come in handy someday."

Yan Jiefang said: "I thought you were joking?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Wait until the house over there is ready. I will take my parents and Daya to live there. I will leave this house to you."

Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Jie Kuang, what do you mean?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I call it keeping the good stuff within the family. The building you live in is nice, but it's just a two-bedroom apartment. Not to mention that it's small, it's inconvenient for you and your sister-in-law to do things at night. You might as well live here. Besides, you two are both working at the cigarette factory now. This place is close to the factory and convenient for work."

"What are you two brothers talking about?!" At this moment, Yan Bugui's voice rang in the ears of Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang said, "I was talking to my second brother about the house. I bought a two-story courtyard house in Shajing Hutong today. I'll tidy up the house later and take you, mom, and Daya to live there. I'll give this place to my second brother."

Yan Bugui said, "If this place is given to you by the Jiefang government, I have no objection." Then he asked, "If you move here by the Jiefang government, what will you do with the tube-shaped building you live in now?"

Yan Jiefang said: "You can rent it out first."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Dad, you and mom should keep an eye out for anyone in our yard who wants to move out. We can exchange houses with them."

"Okay! Let's stop talking about the house and clean up and prepare for dinner!" After saying that, the third aunt called Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang into the kitchen.

After working for about ten minutes, all the dishes were served on the table. After everyone was seated, Yan Bugui said, "I called you to my house today for one reason! That is to celebrate the admission of Jie Kuang and his wife, and Jie Di and his wife into university."

Yan Jiefang said, "Dad, it's a big deal that they're close to the university. You want us to eat this?! Isn't that a bit too much?!"

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiefang and said, "If you can get into college, I'll get you whatever you want to eat." Then Yan Bugui said to Yan Jiefang's children, "You guys must not learn from your father. Study hard in the future. Try to get into college like your third uncle and aunt."

"Got it, Grandpa!" the children responded in unison.

Su Zilong picked up the wine glass and said, "Dad, I toast you!"

Yan Bugui also picked up his glass and clinked it with Su Zilong's. He then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, took a bite of food to suppress the wine, and asked, "Jie Kuang, are you really going to sell your job?!"

"Yeah!" Yan Jiekuang responded, saying, "Anyway, there are subsidies for studying at university. And there are jobs for graduates. There is no point in me keeping the job of a buyer. I might as well sell it now while it's still valuable and make some money back."
