Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After finishing the work on the house, it was already noon. Yan Jiekuang wanted to invite Mr. Qi to dinner to express his gratitude. But Mr. Qi refused Yan Jiekuang's invitation on the grounds that he had something to do at home. Yan Jiekuang sent Mr. Qi home, and before leaving, he promised Mr. Qi that he must notify him if there was a house like this in the future.

After leaving the Seventh Master, Yan Jiekuang had no intention of going home. He went to a nearby state-owned restaurant for a simple lunch, and then rode his bicycle to Shajing Hutong.

Arriving at the place, Yan Jiekuang took out the key and unlocked the door of the courtyard in Shajing Hutong. After pushing the door open, Yan Jiekuang moved the bicycle in, then quickly closed the door and bolted it from the inside.

Walking into the east wing of the backyard, Yan Jiekuang carefully looked around the room. Judging from the furnishings, this room should be the study of the original owner. Yan Jiekuang carefully checked it and did not find anything suspicious. Then Yan Jiekuang released his spiritual sense. In the blink of an eye, the entire east wing was enveloped by Yan Jiekuang's spiritual sense.

Under the scanning of his spiritual consciousness, Yan Jiekuang quickly found the location of the mechanism. At this time, Yan Jiekuang admired the wisdom of the ancients very much. The switch of the mechanism was on the oversized floor tile with a lotus pattern in front of the desk. Yan Jiekuang gently stepped on the lotus heart in the middle. Then he saw the floor tile with a lotus pattern bounce up. The stairs below were exposed. Yan Jiekuang was afraid that there would be no air inside for a long time, so he took out the diving oxygen cylinder and oxygen mask from the space, put on the oxygen mask on his face, then unscrewed the oxygen cylinder, took out the flashlight, and walked down along the stone steps.

The stone steps were not long, with only nine steps in total. Yan Jiekuang went underground and looked around the basement following the flashlight. The basement was not very big, but there were a lot of things. Yan Jiekuang casually opened a box, and when he saw the things in the box, his eyes widened. That's right, the box was full of gold ingots. Yan Jiekuang picked one up, weighed it, and took a look at the year on it. Yan Jiekuang was surprised. Because the year on the gold ingot was "The 40th Year of Kangxi". Yan Jiekuang put the ingots back into the box, and then put all the things in the basement into the space. Then he put it back on the ground.

A little after 3:30 in the afternoon, Yan Jiekuang rode his bicycle to the entrance of the machine tool factory. Zhang Jinshan, who was sitting in the communication room, saw Yan Jiekuang and immediately ran out of the communication room. Yan Jiekuang hurriedly braked his bicycle and asked, "Team leader, why are you here?! Are you waiting for me here?!"

Zhang Jinshan asked: "Where are the things?!"

Yan Jiekuang pointed to the wooden box on the back seat of his car and said, "It's all in there!" Then Yan Jiekuang took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Jinshan, saying, "This is the list."

Zhang Jinshan took the list, quickly scanned the product names and quantities recorded on it, and said, "Send it to the cold storage!"

"Got it!" Yan Jiekuang replied, kicked his foot, and rode his bicycle into the factory gate.

Yan Jiekuang arrived at the door of the cold storage and waited for about seven or eight minutes before Zhang Jinshan rushed over. Yan Jiekuang untied the ropes that tied the wooden box and said, "Team leader, give me a hand!"

Zhang Jinshan helped Yan Jiekuang take the wooden box off the bicycle. Yan Jiekuang found a claw hammer and pried the wooden box open. A gust of cold air floated out of the wooden box. Yan Jiekuang used the hammer in his hand to knock off the ice on the surface, and the layer of seafood underneath was exposed.

When Zhang Jinshan saw the seafood in the box, his eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Good boy! Not simple!" Then Zhang Jinshan said to the people beside him, "Hurry up and weigh them and put them into the warehouse."

Yan Jiekuang took out two train tickets from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Jinshan, saying, "Team Leader, can this be reimbursed?!"

Zhang Jinshan took the ticket and looked at it, then asked, "Did you get all these from Tianjin?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "I got it from the dock in Tianjin. In order to get these things, I asked a lot of people to help me."

Zhang Jinshan said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll write a note and have the leader sign it. I'll help you apply for these two tickets." Then he asked, "Jie Kuang, the New Year is coming soon. Can you go get another batch of seafood?"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Team leader, it's not that I don't want to. It's just that I really can't get it. The New Year is coming soon, and there are no fishing boats going out to sea. If it were any other time, these things wouldn't be difficult to get."

Zhang Jinshan sighed and said, "I just thought of it and asked casually."

Yan Jiekuang thought to himself, "I used to think Zhang Jinshan was a pretty good guy. But now it seems like he's not a good guy either. Fortunately, I'm going to quit soon."

Just when Yan Jiekuang was wondering, the weight of the seafood had been weighed. Yan Jiekuang came to his senses and took the note to the Finance Department.

At the same time, the postman Gu Jun appeared at the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang on his bicycle. Yan Bugui, who was sitting at the door of his house playing with his grandchildren, saw the postman running in from outside and asked with a smile: "Xiao Gu, whose letter is this?!"

Gu Jun replied: "Teacher Yan, I am here today to deliver the admission notice."

When Yan Bugui heard the words "admission notice", he immediately jumped up and asked, "Is there one for my family?!"

"Yes! Your college has the most students admitted to universities." Gu Jun found the admission notices of Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui, handed them to Yan Bugui, and said, "Teacher Yan, these two are from your family." Then he asked, "Are they here in person?!"

Yan Bugui hurriedly called out, "Xiao Hui! Xiao Hui!"

Su Zihui heard the shouting, ran out of the house and asked, "Dad, what's going on?!"

Yan Bugui said excitedly: "You and Jie Kuang's admission notices have arrived!"

It was then that Su Zihui noticed the postman standing nearby. Su Zihui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am Su Zihui."

Gu Jun asked: "Can you show me your ID?!"

"Wait a moment." Su Zihui ran back into the house, took her work ID and household registration booklet and ran out. She handed them to the postman and said, "Yan Jiekuang is my husband. He went to work and hasn't come back yet."

Gu Jun looked at Su Zihui's work ID and household registration booklet, handed the two admission notices to Su Zihui, and said, "Comrade, please sign here." After that, Gu Jun handed the receipt and pen to Su Zihui.

Su Zihui took the pen and signed her name on the receipt, then took the household registration booklet and work permit and said, "Thank you, comrade!"

"You're welcome!" Gu Jun smiled and walked past Su Zihui and Yan Bugui.

After about ten minutes, Gu Jun walked out of the middle courtyard. Yan Bugui asked, "Xiao Gu, which university did He Yuzhu and Xu Damao's sons get into?!"

Gu Jun replied: "He Yuzhu's son was admitted to the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Xu Damao's son was admitted to the Beijing University of Electric Power."

"I understand! Thank you!" Yan Bugui watched Gu Jun walk out of the courtyard gate, and immediately a bright smile appeared on his face. He looked at Su Zihui and asked, "Xiaohui, when does school start?!"

Su Zihui replied: "I will report on February 2th, and Jie Kuang will report on March 26rd."
