Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Why are you back so late?!" Xu Wude, who was drinking a glass of wine, couldn't help but ask when he saw Xu Damao come in.

Xu Damao walked over to Xu Wude and sat down, saying, "Well, a leader's son is getting married today. The section chief asked me to go and show a movie." After saying that, Xu Damao put the network cable bag in his hand on the table and asked, "Dad, when did Shazhu get married?!"

Xu Wude replied, "You got married just a few days after you went to the countryside. This guy is really good at keeping secrets. Marriage is such a big deal, but he didn't leak any news to the public beforehand."

Gu Jinlian handed Xu Damao a set of bowls and chopsticks and said, "You didn't see it. Shazhu brought his wife to hand out wedding candy that day. The deaf old lady next door had an embarrassed face."

Xu Damao asked curiously: "Dad, did Shazhu really break up with Yi Zhonghai?!"

Xu Wude took a sip of wine and replied, "Shazhu almost sent Yi Zhonghai to jail. How could they not have a falling out?! But then again, since Yi Zhonghai is no longer the steward, the Jia family has become more restrained. Recently, our courtyard has been much more peaceful."

Xu Damao asked: "Dad, what do you think Yi Zhonghai was up to?!"

Before Xu Wude could speak, Gu Jinlian spoke first: "What else can it be?! Of course it's retirement care. Yi Zhonghai is a family without a family. He and his wife are not very old now. But they will get old sooner or later. Yi Zhonghai's biggest concern is retirement care. Otherwise, he would not have accepted Jia Dongxu as his apprentice. But I just don't understand. Why is Yi Zhonghai still hanging around Sha Zhu?!"

Xu Wude said: "Yi Zhonghai keeps Sha Zhu hanging because he is afraid of putting all his eggs in one basket. If the basket falls to the ground one day, all the eggs will break. Besides, the Jia family is a bottomless pit. Who is Yi Zhonghai?! He can't use his own things to fill the Jia family. He keeps Sha Zhu hanging because he wants Sha Zhu to produce something so that he can earn fame."

Xu Damao said thoughtfully: "This time, Sha Zhu flipped the table, there must be someone behind the scenes directing him. Dad, who do you think is directing Sha Zhu behind the scenes?!"

"It's broken!" At this moment, Xu Wude woke up. Xu Damao asked, "Dad, what's wrong?!"

Xu Wude said, "We have been tricked this time! Yi Zhonghai can't find the person behind Sha Zhu's plot, so he will definitely put the blame on me."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly: "Dad, Yi Zhonghai is now a toothless wild cat. Why should we be afraid of him?! Besides, he is a front-line product worker. We are from the publicity department. Even if he wants to plot against us, he will be able to do it."

Xu Wood said: "Yi Zhonghai has not been in vain these years. It is better to be careful."

In a blink of an eye, it was a little after ten o'clock in the evening. The door of Jia's house opened. Not long after, Qin Huairu came out of the house. About ten minutes later, Yi Zhonghai also came out of his house. Soon Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai met in a corner near the public toilet.

Yi Zhonghai asked coldly: "Didn't I tell you not to contact me recently? Why are you contacting me again suddenly?!"

Qin Huairu said: "Yi Zhonghai, I came to you today because I want you to help me find a job."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked, "Why do you want to work for no reason?!"

Qin Huairu said: "Liu Lan and I both married from the countryside. How come she has a job as soon as she arrived?! Do you know what kind of life I live every day in the Jia family?! I really regret listening to you and marrying Jia Dongxu. I don't care what method you use, you must find me a job as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will die with you! If I don't live well, you won't live well either!" After saying that, Qin Huairu was about to leave.

Yi Zhonghai grabbed Qin Huairu and said, "Do you think it's easy to find a job?! If it's easy, would I not help you find one?! You just be patient for a while, and when there's a chance, I will definitely help you find a job." As he said that, Yi Zhonghai didn't care and touched Qin Huairu all over.

Qin Huairu held down Yi Zhonghai's hand that was doing mischief on her and said, "Jia Dongxu lost face in the Yan family. He has been planning to clean up the Yan family these past two days. Do you know what he wants to do?!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Huairu's words, his brows immediately frowned and he said, "Since I was demoted, Jia Dongxu has never spoken to me again. I really don't know what he wants to do. But this kid has no bottom line. It is very likely that something big will happen."

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and said, "If Jia Dongxu is really in trouble, you should find a way to help me drive Jia Zhang away."

"Okay! No problem!" Yi Zhonghai said as he pressed Qin Huairu against the wall. (Omitted hundreds of words)

The next day at noon, after lunch, Yan Bugui had no classes in the afternoon, so he said hello to his colleagues and left the school. A quarter of an hour later, Yan Bugui arrived at the subdistrict office.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Wang Xia heard the knock on the door and saw Yan Bugui standing by the door. She smiled and greeted him, "Old Yan, come in!" Then she asked, "What are you doing here?!"

Yan Bugui didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Director Wang, what arrangements have the Street Office made for the back houses in front of our courtyard?!"

Wang Xia said: "The roofs of the houses in your courtyard are all broken. It's uninhabitable. Even if you want to repair them, you'll have to wait a long time."

Yan Bugui said, "Director Wang, when my family was first allocated a quadrangle, it was based on a family of four. Later, we had two more children. Three sons are easy to deal with. We just need to squeeze in. And we also have a daughter. She can't always live with the two of us, right?! I want to rent two back houses from the street office. We can do the repairs ourselves and not trouble the street office. Do you think it's okay?"

Wang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Old Yan, I can't answer you on this matter for now. Wait a couple of days and the subdistrict office will hold a meeting to discuss it, and then I'll give you an answer."

"Hey!" Yan Bugui responded, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore!"

"Okay! Take care!" Wang Xia frowned after sending Yan Bugui out of the office. After a while, Wang Xia called other leaders of the subdistrict office together and held a meeting.

Time passed quickly like running water, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. It was another Sunday. Yan Jiekuang had a rare breakfast and went back to his room to take a nap. At about ten o'clock, Yan Jiekuang got up. Walking out of the room, Yan Jiekuang asked, "Mom, where is Jie Di?!"

The third aunt replied: "Playing at the gate!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I'll go out and take a look."

The third aunt stopped Yan Jiekuang and said, "Jiekuang, we're out of soy sauce at home. Can you help me get a bottle of soy sauce from the alley?" After that, the third aunt took out money and tickets from her pocket and handed them to Yan Jiekuang. Then she took out a glass wine bottle with a rope tied to the mouth of the bottle from the kitchen and handed it to Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang took the bottle and said, "Then I'll go get some soy sauce first!"

"Third brother, where are you going?!" Yan Jiekuang had just walked out of the courtyard gate when Yan Jiedi, who was playing hide-and-seek with her friends, ran to Yan Jiekuang, grabbed his clothes and asked.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce."

Yan Jiedi said hurriedly: "I'll go with you!"

"Okay!" Yan Jiekuang responded, holding Yan Jiedi's hand, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the alley.
