Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Old lady, the sun is pretty good today. Can I help you take out your quilt to dry in the sun?" After Liu Guiying finished her housework, she remembered that the deaf old lady's quilt had not been dried in the sun for a while, so she ran to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady said, "I think the weather is nice today. Let's go out and bask in the sun!"

"Okay!" Liu Guiying responded, walked to the bed, picked up the quilt and left the room. After about ten minutes, Liu Guiying came back. The deaf old lady asked: "Zhonghai family, Shazhu has been married for nearly a month, right?!"

Liu Guiying replied: "It's been almost a month."

The deaf old lady sighed and said sourly, "He only came once, on the day of my wedding, to bring me wedding candy and my wife, and he never came again."

Liu Guiying understood what was going on, but it was all her husband's fault. So Liu Guiying didn't dare to continue the conversation. Liu Guiying changed the subject and said, "I didn't realize that Sha Zhu was so capable without making any noise. He actually found a job for his wife. Now they have two working people in the family, and they can support three people with their salary, and they also have the living expenses sent by He Daqing. Their family is on the rise this time."

The deaf old lady rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Old Yi family. Here's your chance to ease the relationship with Sha Zhu." Seeing Liu Guiying suddenly become dazed, the deaf old lady smiled and explained, "Zhu Zi and his wife are both working, and Yu Shui has to go to school. When Sha Zhu's wife gives birth to a child, someone will have to take care of the child, right?! In our courtyard, only your family is suitable. When the time comes, you should take the initiative and take over this job. After a few times, won't your relationship with Sha Zhu ease?!"

Liu Guiying laughed and said, "Old lady, you are very thoughtful."

At the same time, the person who was jealous of Liu Lan in the whole courtyard was Qin Huairu. At first, Qin Huairu didn't think much of Liu Lan's work. But when Jia Zhang started nagging more, Qin Huairu began to feel a little unbalanced. They were both married from the countryside. Why could Liu Lan have a job while she, Qin Huairu, could only stay at home? ! Then Qin Huairu began to hate Yi Zhonghai again. Sha Zhu, a cook, had a way to find a job for his wife. Wasn't Yi Zhonghai a master chef in the factory? ! How come he couldn't even handle her job? !

"Huai Ru! Huai Ru!" Jia Zhang called Qin Huai Ru twice, and seeing that Qin Huai Ru did not respond, she climbed up from the kang helplessly, walked to the door, and saw Qin Huai Ru sitting on the chair in a daze. Seeing this, Jia Zhang was so angry! Jia Zhang walked to Qin Huai Ru's side and patted Qin Huai Ru's back heavily.

Qin Huairu was instantly brought back to her senses. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Jia Zhang and asked, "Mom, why did you hit me?!"

Jia Zhang yelled, "Why did I hit you?! Do I need a reason to hit you?! I called you just now, why didn't you respond?! Are you thinking about other wild men?!"

Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhangshi seemed to want to hit her, so she begged for mercy: "Mom! You wronged me! I'm not thinking about other wild men. I'm thinking about work."

"Work?!" Jia Zhang muttered, remembering what happened to He Yuzhu's wife, and said, "Qin Huairu! I advise you to be more law-abiding. Don't do anything to let down our Dongxu for the sake of a job."

Qin Huairu said, "Mom! How could I possibly do something to let Dongxu down?! Shazhu is just a cook, but he can find a way to help his wife find a job. Yi Zhonghai is Dongxu's master and a veteran in the factory. Is it that difficult to ask him to help find a job?!"

Jia Zhang was not a fool, otherwise, she would not have been able to live with her son in this courtyard. Jia Zhang thought about it and said, "I'll ask Dongxu to ask Yi Zhonghai later. But I'll make it clear. You can go out to work! But Dongxu must collect your monthly salary."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu thought to herself, "Let Jia Dongxu collect the salary on my behalf?! All the money will go into the hands of an old witch like you. Then I've worked for nothing!"

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't respond, Jia Zhang asked, "Why?! You don't want to?!"

Qin Huairu came back to her senses, and immediately smiled, saying, "Mom, why wouldn't I be willing?! I go out to make money, isn't it for Banggen?!"

Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu a look that showed she was very tactful, and said, "I'm glad you know it!" After that, Jia Zhang staggered out of the door.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's back, the smile on her face disappeared, and a fierce light flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes.

"Mom! I need to pee!" Banggeng's cry brought Qin Huairu back to reality. Qin Huairu sighed, took the spittoon and walked to Banggeng's bed, picked up Banggeng, took off his pants quickly, picked up the spittoon, and helped Banggeng pee.

In the blink of an eye, it was 2:30 in the afternoon, and the elementary school was over. Yan Jiekuang walked out of the school gate and suddenly thought of Zhengyang Gate and the tavern. Anyway, there was nothing to do at home, so he might as well go and take a look. Hongxing Primary School was not far from Zhengyang Gate, and it only took more than half an hour to walk there. However, Yan Jiekuang walked very fast under the impetus of Qi Xin. It took more than 20 minutes for Yan Jiekuang to reach Zhengyang Gate.

The Zhengyangmen area is quite lively. It is not only close to Dashilan, but also close to the old railway station. Yan Jiekuang walked around and found that although there were many taverns, none of them had a boss named Xu Huizhen. Even the nearby silk and satin shops did not have a boss named Chen Xueru.

"Jie Kuang, why are you here?!" When Yan Jie Kuang was about to go back, Yan Jiecheng's voice came from behind him.

Yan Jiekuang replied, “I heard it’s quite lively here, so I came here to hang out.” Then he asked, “Brother, are you off work?!”

Yan Jiecheng replied, "I'm here to do some business at the old station. I'll follow the train today and won't be back at night. Go back and tell our parents."

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, and said, "Brother, be careful on the road."

"I understand!" Yan Jiecheng replied indifferently and left with his colleagues.

After Yan Jiecheng walked away, Yan Jiekuang sighed and thought to himself, "He is indeed Yan Bugui's biological son. His stingy mother is the one who opens the door for stinginess. He is so stingy. If he has a penny stuck in his butt, he may not be able to drop it even if he runs around the city twenty times."

Not long ago, Yan Jiecheng received his first month's apprentice salary. Although Yan Jiecheng reluctantly gave his family ten yuan and did not express any gratitude to his brothers and sisters, he instead set his sights on Yan Jiekuang. His words and deeds showed that he wanted Yan Jiekuang to assemble a bicycle for him.

However, Yan Jiekuang did not indulge Yan Jiecheng and directly retorted. Since then, Yan Jiecheng has treated Yan Jiekuang as an enemy, with no brotherly love at all. But this is nothing to Yan Jiekuang. Originally, Yan Jiekuang had no intention of having anything to do with Yan Jiecheng.

As he walked, Yan Jiekuang was attracted by a scent. Yan Jiekuang looked in the direction where the scent came from. Seeing the plaque of Yueshengzhai, Yan Jiekuang's eyes lit up and his saliva flowed unconsciously. Action is worse than action, Yan Jiekuang immediately walked into Yueshengzhai.

Although there were not many people buying cooked food at this time, Yan Jiekuang still queued for a few minutes. Just when Yan Jiekuang was looking forward to it, it was finally his turn. Yan Jiekuang looked for a long time and bought a piece of braised beef weighing about half a pound. It was not that Yan Jiekuang did not want to buy more. It was that he only had a half-pound beef ticket in his hand. This beef ticket was something Yan Jiekuang accidentally bought.
