Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Little Guoxin!" Su Zihui teased the child in Yan Jiedi's arms and asked, "You came back early today? When will you have a holiday?!"

Yan Jiedi replied, "We have a holiday on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. The holiday lasts until the 15th of the first lunar month. School starts on the 16th of the first lunar month." Then she asked, "What about you?!"

Su Zihui replied: "I was one day ahead of you."

Yan Jie Di then asked, "I heard that my brother went to Hong Kong City?!"

Su Zihui nodded and said, "Your brother took a half-month leave and came back just in time for the final exam." Then he asked, "Where's my second brother?!"

Yan Jiedi replied: "He is reading in the room!"

"Xiaohui is here?!" As soon as Yan Jiedi finished speaking, Su Zilong walked out of the house.

"Second brother!" Su Zihui greeted him, looked around, and asked, "Where are my eldest brother and sister-in-law?!"

Yan Jiedi said, "He went to Grandpa Jiang's place. He should be here in a while."

Su Zihui looked outside the middle courtyard and asked, "Second brother, did your eldest brother give you the cold shoulder?!"

Su Zilong said, "He did. But I ignored him. We grew up together. Don't we know his temper?! I'm just thinking that when he was training normally, his head was stunned by a cannonball."

"Pfft!" Su Zihui couldn't help laughing and said, "Only you would go head-on with him."

Su Zilong said: "His parents spoil him. I won't spoil him."

"Dad!" Su Zihui saw Su Yanwu coming out of the house and greeted him with a smile.

"Xiao Hui is here!" Su Yanwu replied, and then asked, "Why are you alone? Where's the child?!"

Su Zihui replied: "At home! I can't bring three little ones here by myself."

Su Yanwu then asked, "Jie Kuang went to Gangcheng?!"

Su Zihui nodded and said, "He's been gone for a few days. He should be back soon."

Su Yanwu continued, "I heard from my friends that many people have gone to the south recently. The crackdown there is very strict now."

Su Zihui said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Jie Kuang. He has a Hong Kong ID card, so even if they catch him, they can't do anything to him."

"That makes me feel relieved!" Su Yanwu replied, raised his wrist to check the time on his watch, and asked, "Zilong, how long have your brother and sister-in-law been there?!"

Su Zilong replied: "It's been about an hour, right?! I guess he will be back soon."

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. As soon as Su Zilong finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Not long after, Su Zihui and his wife walked in with Jiang Bi Da and Han Hu.

Su Zihui greeted them one by one, then walked to Jiang Xueqin's side, took Jiang Xueqin's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard you are pregnant?! Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Jiang Xueqin glanced at Su Zihao secretly and asked, "Are you here alone? Where are your husband and children?!"

Su Zihui replied: "Jie Kuang is on a business trip. The children are all at home."

"Don't stand in the yard! Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!" At this moment, Miao Huiping's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Su Zihui ran into the kitchen happily and asked, "Grandma, Grandma! Is there anything I can help you with?!"

Gu Ruoxue said: "It's none of your business. Go wash your hands!"

Su Zihui said: "I had already eaten when I came here."

Miao Huiping said, "Let's eat some more after we've finished eating."

"Oh!" Su Zihui responded obediently, washed her hands, and then ran into the restaurant next door.

Su Zihui ate with him for a while, then asked, "Brother, what will happen to your sister-in-law if you go to military school?!"

Su Zihao replied, "I have already made an agreement with your sister-in-law. She will stay in Sijiu City. When I graduate from the military academy and get assigned a place, I will take your sister-in-law and the children over."

Su Zihui said: "Brother, have you ever considered letting your child stay in Sijiu City to study?!"

Su Zihao said nonchalantly, "How could I not have thought about this question? I think if a child wants to study, he can study anywhere. If he doesn't want to study, it will be useless even if you force him."

Su Zihui was about to say something else when Su Zilong, who was sitting next to her, quietly kicked her. Su Zihui understood and immediately shut up. Jiang Bidada then asked, "Zihao, now that you have graduated, is it possible for you to be assigned to a unit around Sijiu City?!"

Su Zihao said: "It's possible, but it's hard to say."

Su Zilong asked: "Brother, do you really plan to work in the army for the rest of your life?!"

Su Zihao stared at Su Zilong for a few seconds and said, "It could be a lifetime, or it could be the same as Dad. Who can say for sure?!"

After Su Zihao finished speaking, the entire restaurant fell silent. After two or three minutes, Ding Jinan spoke up, "You two don't have children, so Xiaoqin followed you to the army, so you let her go. Now you have a child. If you don't care about the child, I, as a grandmother, can't help but care about the child. It's your business if you go to the army, but you leave Xiaoqin and the child to me."

Su Zihui quietly gave her mother a thumbs up, thinking to herself, "Mother is so awesome!"

Su Zilong secretly glanced at Su Zihao and saw that Su Zihao's face looked a little strange. Then he looked at Yan Jiedi, and Yan Jiedi blinked at Su Zilong.

Su Zilong tried to hold back his laughter and said, "I'm done! You guys take your time!" After that, Su Zilong stood up quickly, walked to the cradle, picked up the child in the cradle and left the restaurant. Yan Jiedi also ate the rest of the meal in two or three mouthfuls and said, "I'll go see the child."

"Wait for me! I'm going too!" Su Zihui was about to follow. Ding Jinan grabbed Su Zihui who had just stood up and said, "Sit down."

"Oh!" Seeing that she couldn't run away, Su Zihui could only sit down obediently.

Ding Jinan continued, "Xiaohui, your Jie Kuang has many connections. After your sister-in-law has given birth, ask Jie Kuang to help her find a job."

"Okay!" Su Zihui readily agreed, then looked at Jiang Xueqin and asked, "Sister-in-law, what kind of job do you want to do?!"

Jiang Xueqin said: "When I was with the army, I taught in a primary school near the army station. If possible, I still want to teach."

Su Zihui thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the school and ask. I'll tell you when I have news."

At this moment, Su Zihao's face was as ugly as it could be. Su Zihao never thought that his idea would be disrupted by Ding Jinan's words before it was implemented. However, Su Zihao did not give up. He planned to tell Jiang Xueqin about joining the army in the future after returning to the house.

A little after six o'clock in the evening, Su Zihui returned to the courtyard of Shajing Hutong. Just as she was about to read for a while, she heard the doorbell ring. Su Zihui just walked out of the house and was about to open the door when she saw Yan Bugui coming out. Yan Bugui said, "Xiaohui, go back and rest! I'll go open the door."

"Oh!" Su Zihui responded and went back to the house obediently.

Yan Bugui walked to the gate, opened the small window on the door, and looked out. In the dim light of the street lamp, Yan Bugui saw Yan Jiecheng standing at the door. Yan Bugui closed the small window, opened the door, and asked, "Jiecheng, you came here so late, what's the matter?!"
