Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Jie Kuang?!" Yan Bugui muttered, opened the door, and asked, "Where have you been these days?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "My classmate is getting married and invited me to the wedding." Then Yan Jiekuang urged, "Dad, come and give me a hand!"

Yan Bugui immediately ran behind the bicycle and helped Yan Jiekuang carry the bicycle into the gate. After Yan Bugui closed the gate, he asked, "Jiekuang, what's on your bicycle?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "My classmate's home is in Yangcheng. The port city is just across the street. He took me there and found a lot of good things there." Yan Jiekuang parked his bicycle, untied the rope, picked up the box on the back seat of the bicycle, and went to the main house.

Not long after, Yan Bugui, the third aunt, and Su Zihui all came in. Yan Jiekuang opened the box, took out the things inside, and said, "Mom, this is for you! These clothes and watches are the most popular in Hong Kong now." Then he took out a few more sets of clothes and gave them to Yan Bugui, saying, "Dad, this is for you."

"And what about mine?" Yan Bugui took the clothes and touched them while saying, "This material is really good!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "As long as you like it! The rest are my wife, children and Daya's things. I will give Daya's things to her tomorrow morning."

The third aunt said, "You must be tired from the journey. Go back home early with your wife and have a rest!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded, took the box and followed Su Zihui out of the main room.

After her son and his wife left, the third aunt couldn't wait to open the watch box, and a beautiful lady's watch appeared in front of the third aunt and Yan Bugui. The moment Yan Bugui saw the watch, he suddenly felt that the clothes in his hand were not fragrant. The third aunt noticed Yan Bugui's strangeness and said, "Don't you have a watch?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "Who would complain about having too many watches?!"

The third aunt continued, "It's good enough that our son can buy clothes for you."

"Hey! You old woman!" Yan Bugui muttered. Just as he was about to say something else, the third aunt had already walked out with clothes and watches.

Yan Jiekuang returned to his room, put the box on the table, and then hugged Su Zihui tightly. Su Zihui smiled and snuggled into Yan Jiekuang's arms, asking, "Did your trip go smoothly this time?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It went very smoothly." Then Yan Jiekuang pulled Su Zihui to the bedside, sat down, hugged Su Zihui, and concealed the fact that he had bought a house in Gangcheng for free. He told Su Zihui everything else. When Su Zihui learned that Yan Jiekuang had already bought a house in Gangcheng and helped her get a Gangcheng ID card, she was dumbfounded.

Yan Jiekuang thought Su Zihui didn't believe it, so he took out their ID cards and driver's licenses from his messenger bag, handed them to Su Zihui, and said, "Now you should believe it, right?!"

Su Zihui took the ID card and driver's license, looked at them, and asked, "What if someone finds out?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Don't worry! No one will know about this. Even if other people know about this, it's okay. At worst, we can leave Sijiu City and live in Gangcheng for a while." Then Yan Jiekuang took out the property certificate and said, "This is the certificate for the five villas in Gangcheng."

Su Zihui said, "Take these things! It's not safe to leave them with me."

"Okay! I'll keep it for now. During the New Year, I'll find a chance to take you to Gangcheng to have a look." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang put away the property certificate.

Su Zihui said: "Although I really want to go to Hong Kong City, Xueyi is still young and needs someone to be with him. I will go with you next summer vacation."

Yan Jiekuang said, "I'm going to visit your grandparents tomorrow, do you want to come with me?!"

Su Zihui replied, "I won't go." Then she asked, "Is Lou Xiao'e pretty?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "She is fashionable. But she can't compare with you."

"You've passed!" Su Zihui muttered to herself, and rolled her eyes at Yan Jiekuang, asking, "What did you bring for me and the children?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I brought a lot of good things." Then Yan Jiekuang walked to the table, opened the box, took out the things one by one, and said, "The toys are for the children. These pens and clothes are for Daya. These clothes and cosmetics, as well as these bags of things for female comrades are all yours."

Su Zihui put the things in the cabinet and urged: "You smell, go wash up!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded and went to the bathroom with his clean clothes.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Yan Jiekuang had breakfast, said goodbye to his family, took some things, and rode out on his bicycle.

Two hours later, Yan Jiekuang arrived at the gate of the compound on his bicycle. After registration and inspection, Yan Jiekuang rode his bicycle into the gate.

When they arrived in front of the Su family's small western-style building and Yan Jiekuang was about to get off the car, Ding Jinan just came out. Ding Jinan saw Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Jiekuang, why are you here?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Well, school is about to start. I came to see you."

"Come in!" Ding Jinan made way for Yan Jiekuang. As soon as he entered the living room, Ding Jinan's voice rang out: "Dad! Look who's here?!"

"Grandpa!" Yan Jiekuang took the initiative to greet him.

Su Zhongguo asked with a smile: "Today, why did you come here alone today?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Xiaohui just came out of confinement and is still weak! That's why she didn't come with me." Then he asked, "Grandpa, is it convenient for you now?! I have something to tell you, and I want to hear your opinion?!"

Su Zhongguo looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "Come with me to the study!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded and followed Su Zhongguo out of the living room.

After entering the study, Su Zhongguo closed the door and asked, "Can you tell me now?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Grandpa, I went to Hong Kong a few days ago."

Su Zhongguo frowned and asked, "Why are you going to Gangcheng for no reason?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "I want to start a company and go to Gangcheng to find a partner."

Su Zhongguo asked: "From what you said, you have accomplished this?!"

"It's done!" Yan Jiekuang replied, and told Su Zhongguo about opening a recycling company with the Lou family. Su Zhongguo frowned after listening to Yan Jiekuang's narration and asked, "Jiekuang, the purpose of opening a company is to make money. How much money can you make from your recycling business?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Grandpa, this is not about money. The Lou family and I opened this company to help the country."

Su Zhongguo's frown relaxed slightly and he asked, "What do you mean by that?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked back: "Grandpa, is our navy short of warships now?!"

"Short! How can it be short?!" Su Zhongguo reacted and asked, "What do you mean by that?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "The company that the Lou family and I opened is mainly engaged in the purchase of scrapped items. Many of America's warships have reached the end of their service life. They can only be parked in the port and collect dust. To them, these warships are outdated, but to us they can still be used."
