Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiedi continued, "Brother, we are poor. If we don't have enough money to buy a house, you have to support us a little!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I am responsible for external affairs, and your sister-in-law is responsible for internal affairs. It would be more effective for you to ask her for help than to ask me for help."

"Sister-in-law!" Yan Jiedi said coquettishly in a hoarse voice.

Su Zihui smiled and said, "Okay! I'll support you a little. But you can't tell anyone about this!"

Yan Jie Di promised solemnly: "Okay! I promise not to tell anyone! Not even the baby in my belly!"

"Puchi!" Yan Jiekuang and the other two were immediately amused by Yan Jiedi's cute look. Yan Jiedi herself also laughed unconsciously.

After a while, Yan Jiedi recovered and asked, "Brother, you all moved out. Who will live in this house?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I plan to give it to my second brother and his family. The tube-shaped building they live in now only has two rooms. The children are still young, so they can still live there. When the children grow up, this house will not be able to accommodate them. Although my second brother has some family assets, he also has a lot of expenses. It is absolutely impossible for him to buy a house with his current ability. After all, we are all family. It would be troublesome to lend this place to others, so it is better to let the whole family live here. But don't worry, no matter where it is, I, your brother, will reserve a house for you."

Su Zilong said, "Jie Kuang, I saw your elder brother a few days ago. He seemed to be dating someone."

Yan Jiedi echoed, "I've seen it a few times, too."

Yan Jiekuang sighed and said, "That bastard Yan Jiecheng only comes back once a week. Every time he comes back, he leaves after having dinner. He never stays for even a minute. I've told him several times to spend more time with Xuehong. He was fine at first, but now I'm too lazy to say anything to him."

Yan Jiedi asked: "He has found a wife, what should Xuehong do?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "What else can we do? Just follow us! We can't kick the child out, right?!"

Su Zihui said, "I like Xuehong very much. Her character is better than her parents. I'll just treat it as raising another daughter." Then she looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, "You have no objection, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "What opinion can I have?!"

"You're all here!" Just then the three aunts came in from outside. Yan Jiekuang and the other three shouted in unison: "Mom!"

"Mom! Please sit down!" Yan Jiekuang stood up, moved a chair, asked the third aunt to sit down, and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?!"

The third aunt said, "I came to see you. If the other children in the family could be like you two siblings, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."

Yan Jie Di comforted her, "Mom! Aren't we four brothers and sisters doing well? You don't have to worry about us."

The third aunt said, "I am not worried about you three brothers and sisters. I am worried about your eldest brother now."

Yan Jiedi interrupted: "Mom, isn't my eldest brother doing very well?!"

The third aunt snorted and said, "It's strange that he can be fine! Don't you think I don't know what he did outside?! A while ago, when your second sister-in-law accompanied me to the department store, I saw him accompanying a woman to look at clothes. Later I asked someone and found out that the woman was a conductor on the same train as him. It would be fine if the woman was not married, divorced, or a widow. But this woman has a man. Your eldest brother has inserted his foot into her life. What do you think of this?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "What else could it be? Revenge, of course."

"Revenge?!" Everyone present looked at Yan Jiekuang at the same time.

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "You think, there was no problem between him and Yu Li. But later he found out that Yu Li was having an affair with someone else. He felt like he had a patch of green grass growing on his head. No matter which man he was, he would not feel happy. So there are three possibilities. The first possibility is to go to extremes. Chop off both the person who made him have grass growing on his head and Yu Li. The second possibility is to forgive each other and live their own lives, maintaining superficial harmony. The third possibility is to break up peacefully. There are also three possibilities here. The first possibility is to find another relationship after the breakup; the second possibility is to live alone and no longer accept love; the third possibility is to become a third party and interfere in other people's lives. From the current perspective, Yan Jiecheng is in this situation."

Yan Jiedi said: "Brother, aren't you afraid of being caught?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I don't know if he's afraid of being caught. Anyway, he's already trapped in it. He seems to be enjoying it. Even if we try to persuade him, he may not listen." Yan Jiekuang glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall and said, "If I remember correctly, he should have returned to Sijiu City yesterday and should have rested today. But he didn't come back."

Su Zihui unconsciously looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked curiously, "Jiekuang, when did you become a philosopher?!"

Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes at Su Zihui and said, "I'm not a philosopher. I've learned a lot as a purchasing agent in the factory this year, so I understand it naturally. Let's just live our own lives now. Don't worry about other things. Even if we want to manage it, he must be willing to let us manage it."

"Hey?! It's still lively here!" Just then Yan Jiefang and his wife walked in from outside.

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Second brother, where are your children?!"

Yan Jiefang said, "They are playing with the children of the Yushui family!" Then he looked at the two children on the crib and said, "These two kids can sleep well?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "These two guys are well behaved when they are asleep. But when they wake up, they become two devils."

The third aunt sighed and said, "Today, only your eldest brother is missing. Otherwise, all our family members would be here. I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future?!"

Yan Jiedi comforted her, "Mom, my brother is already that old, he knows what he is doing. Don't worry about him."

Yan Jiekuang raised his wrist to check the time and said, "It's still early, how about you girls go out for a walk together?!"

"Don't!" Su Zilong hurriedly stopped him, "Let the two pregnant women go out with you, are you sure about that?!"

The three aunts said, "You three men, get out. We don't need you here."

Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiefang and Su Zilong looked at each other and walked out of the house obediently. After leaving the house, Yan Jiekuang took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out three cigarettes, handed them to Yan Jiefang and Su Zilong respectively, then lit one for himself and said, "Second brother, the courtyard house over in Shajing Hutong will be renovated after the New Year. If it's fast, it will be finished in half a month. Let the air blow away the smell for a few days, and then we will move in. This place will be handed over to you from now on."

Yan Jiefang laughed foolishly, scratched his head, and said, "Dad has transferred the house under his name to me."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Although our parents were a bit stingy in the past, they have a clear account in their hearts. They know who is good to them and who is not. During the years when I went to the Northeast to work in the countryside, our family also owed a lot to you. It is only right for them to give you the house. Don't think too much about it."

At this time, a man with a bruised face and nose walked in from outside. When they got closer, Yan Jiekuang and the other two realized that the man was Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiefang asked in surprise, "Brother, what's wrong with you?!"

Yan Jiecheng replied, "Nothing! I just fell accidentally while walking." Then he asked, "Why are there so many people here today?!"
