Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang followed Su Zihui into the room. Su Zihui walked to the bed and picked up the little Yan Xueyi who was lying on the bed. While undressing him and feeding him, she asked, "Is Lou Xiaoe okay?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "She's fine. She even asked me to say hello to you!" Then Yan Jiekuang opened a bag and took out a jewelry box from it. He said, "I passed by a jewelry store when I was in Hong Kong. I thought this set of jewelry was suitable for you, so I bought it."

Su Zihui said, "Put it aside for now. Wait until I finish feeding the baby before watching." Then she said, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are back. My eldest brother was admitted to the military academy, and my sister-in-law is pregnant."

Yan Jiekuang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is your elder brother going to arrange for your elder sister-in-law?!"

Su Zihui replied, "What else can he arrange? He wanted to wait until we graduate from the military academy and have my sister-in-law and the kids continue to follow him in the army. But my mother stopped him. Oh, by the way! My grandfather and his friends said you have a wide network of contacts. They want you to help my sister-in-law find a job."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Didn't your sister-in-law have a job when she joined the army?! Did she give up that job?!"

Su Zihui replied: "My job was sold by my sister-in-law."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "Your elder brother and sister-in-law have made a very good plan."

Su Zihui was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and said with a smile: "It seems that I am still too naive. I accidentally fell into my eldest brother's trap again." Then he asked: "Do you still need to help my eldest sister-in-law find a job?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Do you think it's so easy to find a job now?! Many factories look prosperous on the surface, but they are actually in a mess. Instead of wasting time looking for a job, you might as well let your sister-in-law read more books when she has time. Maybe the situation will change in a few years?!" Then Yan Jiekuang took out a large envelope from his messenger bag and handed it to Su Zihui, saying, "I bought a few more office buildings in my port city this time. Here are the property certificates."

Su Zihui took the file bag, put it aside, and asked, "Why did you think of buying an office building?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "The price is cheap now. If we buy it and leave it there, we can earn a lot of rent every year. Even if our children are not successful in the future, we can still live well with the rent."

"You think long-term!" Su Zihui replied, and then asked: "Have you met the members of the inspection team?!"

"No! I am not the same kind of person as them, why would I go to meet them?!" Yan Jiekuang opened the travel bag containing the toys, took out the toys, and said, "I bought these for my three children."

Su Zihui took a look at the toys on the desk and said with some complaints: "Why did you buy so many toys? How much money will it waste?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Money is earned to be spent. How can it be used to make babies if left alone?!"

"You!" Su Zihui sighed and said, "Sooner or later, the children will be spoiled by you!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing. When I become famous, you can play the villain. I will definitely not make things difficult for you as a mother."

Su Zihui said, "You still have to go get the TV, go eat now!"

"Hey! Then I'll go first!" After saying that, Yan Jiekuang walked out of the house.

After breakfast, Yan Jiekuang said goodbye to his family and went out. When he got to a deserted place, Yan Jiekuang took out a tricycle from the space. Yan Jiekuang rode the tricycle around outside, and then found another deserted place to take out five 24-inch color TVs, five projectors, and two large boxes of videotapes, piled them on the tricycle, fixed them with ropes, and then rode the tricycle back home.

"Jie Kuang!" Yan Jie Kuang had just entered Shajing Hutong on his tricycle when he heard Yan Jiefang's voice from behind. Yan Jie Kuang stopped his tricycle and turned around to see Yan Jiefang and his wife, each riding a bicycle with their two children.

"Second brother! Second sister-in-law!" Yan Jiekuang greeted the two. Yan Jiefang asked, "Jiekuang, when did you come back?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I came back early this morning. Wait a minute, when you leave, take a large color TV and a VCR with you."

Yang Xuemei looked at the color TV on the tricycle and asked, "Jie Kuang, these TVs are not cheap, right?!"

"It's not bad! It didn't cost much." Yan Jiekuang replied casually, thinking to himself: "I can't tell you that these televisions and VCRs were all stolen from the Japanese?!" Yan Jiekuang chatted with Yan Jiefang and his wife for a few words and continued walking home.

When Yan Jiekuang walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Yan Bugui waiting outside. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Of course I'm waiting for you." Then Yan Bugui walked to the side of the tricycle, looked at the TV on it, and said, "This TV is really big!!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "It's 24 inches. It's bigger than the TV we have now. I was afraid that there would be too few TV programs, so I brought a VCR from Hong Kong. I also brought a lot of videotapes. I'll teach you how to use these things later. I guarantee you'll like them after watching them."

Yan Bugui chuckled and said, "It's a pretty good thing. But it consumes a lot of electricity. The electricity bill is quite high every month."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and asked, "Dad, it seems that you are not the one who pays our electricity bill."

Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly and said, "I feel bad for you." Then Yan Jiekuang saw Yan Jiefang and his wife and their child there, and asked, "How did you get here?!"

Yan Jiefang said, "I haven't come to see you and mom for a while. I came here today because I have a day off."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Second brother, please help me take the TV in first. Dad, you watch at the door and make sure no one else takes the things away."

"I'll watch, don't worry!" Yan Bugui said as he sat directly on the tricycle.

Yan Jiekuang untied the rope and took two TV sets, two VCRs and two large boxes of videotapes inside with Yan Jiefang. Then, when they reached the door, Yan Jiekuang said to Yan Bugui, "Dad, you go back first! I will take my second brother and deliver the TV sets and VCRs to my second brother and my father-in-law first."

"Okay! You two should be careful on the road." Yan Bugui said, and took his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren back home. Yan Jiekuang rode on the tricycle and urged, "Second brother! Get on the car!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiefang responded and got on the tricycle. Yan Jiekuang pedaled the tricycle slowly out of Shajing Hutong.

"Hey?! Jie Kuang, what's on your tricycle?!" Yan Jie Kuang had just arrived at the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang on his tricycle when Xu Damao came out pushing his bicycle. Seeing the things on the tricycle, Xu Damao asked curiously.

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I used my connections to get a few 24-inch color TVs and a few VCRs."

When Xu Damao heard the word "video recorder", his eyes lit up instantly, and he asked tentatively: "Jie Kuang, do you have this way?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I also got it from a friend. As for whether he still has it, I don't know."

Xu Damao said, "Jie Kuang, please ask for me later. If there is any, please help me get one. The price is negotiable."

"Okay! I'll find time to ask for you later." After that, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiefang brought in a TV and a VCR one after another.
