Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"You just want to fool me!" He Yuexian muttered, stood up lazily, and walked towards his room dejectedly.

"Wait!" He Daqing stopped He Yuexian, pointed at an iron pot filled with sand not far away, and said, "Since you have so much free time, shake the pot 200 times before going back."

He Yuexian wanted to resist, but he was afraid that He Yuzhu would come back to punish him. He Yuexian could only walk over obediently, picked up the iron pot, and worked hard to stir the sand in the pot. He Daqing looked at He Yuexian's actions, as if he remembered the scene when his father taught him to flip the pot when he was young. A smile uglier than crying appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself: "It's good to be young." Then He Daqing was attracted by the laughter coming from the room.

He Daqing stood up, walked into the living room separated from the main room, and asked, "What are you two talking about? You look so happy? You two can be heard laughing outside."

Li Xiufang said: "We are talking about Yuejin."

He Daqing said: "Speaking of Yue Jin, why don't I see him?!"

Li Xiufang rolled her eyes at He Daqing and said, "As a grandfather, you don't care about your grandson at all. Yuejin has a girlfriend. Today, he went to the movies with her. It was Xu Damao who gave him the money."

"Hey?! Xu Wude was a nobody, but I didn't expect his son to do something good." He Daqing muttered and asked, "Where is the eldest grandson's girlfriend from?!"

Liu Lan replied, "She is from the city of Sijiu. She is a classmate of Yuejin. She is two years younger than our Yuejin."

He Daqing said, "Let Yuejin bring the girl to our house someday. I will cook for them myself."

"He's a grandson after all! A grandson is closer to me than a son." As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, He Yuzhu's voice rang out behind him. Knowing that he was in the wrong, He Daqing immediately shut his mouth. Seeing He Daqing's frustrated look, He Yuzhu felt an indescribable sense of relief.

After a while, He Daqing asked, "How's the rain?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "She will come with the children tomorrow. Li Jianguo will come after get off work. I have already told Yushui. She will stay at home during the New Year and stay until the New Year is over."

He Daqing asked: "She doesn't have to go to Li Jianguo's relatives' house?!"

He Yuzhu said: "You don't have to worry about this."

He Daqing asked: "Are you hiding something from me?!"

He Yuzhu said, "I'll let you know what you should know. Don't ask what you shouldn't know. You're so old, why don't you enjoy yourself?! Don't you feel tired of worrying about so many things?!"

He Daqing was speechless for a moment. Liu Lan rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and said, "You guys chat, I'll go clean up next door."

Li Xiufang said, "I'll go with you, so we can pack faster together."

After they left the house, Liu Lan and Li Xiufang couldn't help laughing. Li Xiufang said, "They really have the same temper."

Liu Lan said: "It's just that Zhuzi is a little more stubborn."

A little after four o'clock in the afternoon, He Yuejin came back. As soon as he entered the door, He Yuejin was stopped by He Yuzhu. He Yuejin asked, "Dad, what's the matter?!"

He Yuzhu asked: "What's going on between you and that girl now?!"

He Yuejin replied: "We just talked about it. After a while, if it's really suitable, I will bring her home."

He Daqing licked his old face and asked, "Grandson, what do the girl's parents do?!"

He Yuejin replied: "A researcher at the institute. As for what he does specifically, I don't know."

He Yuzhu glared at He Daqing and complained, "This is the children's own business. Why are you asking so many questions?!"

He Daqing yelled, "Silly Zhu! I'm their grandfather, can't I ask?!"

He Yuzhu had grown up and was even bolder. He shouted at He Daqing, "Silly Zhu! Silly Zhu! Even if I'm not stupid, you still call me stupid! Besides, only a fool will give birth to a stupid son. Besides, I, as a father, won't ask any more questions. You are a generation apart, why are you still asking? You are just worrying about nothing."

Watching He Yuzhu's back as he went to the kitchen, He Daqing snorted, then suddenly realized what was happening and cursed, "You little bastard, you actually learned how to curse people in a roundabout way?!"

When Li Xiufang and Liu Lan heard what He Daqing said, they could no longer hold back and laughed out loud.

The next morning, He Yuzhu's family had just finished breakfast. He Yushui came with her two children. He Daqing, who was digesting his food in the yard, saw his daughter coming and immediately smiled. He went to greet her and asked, "Yushui, you are here?! Have you had breakfast?!"

"Dad!" He Yushui called out, and replied, "I've eaten!"

He Daqing continued, "Your sister-in-law and your aunt Li cleaned up your room yesterday. The quilt is drying outside!" Then he asked, "Tell Dad what you want to eat. Dad will make it for you."

He Yushui said, "Dad, don't bother. We have really eaten."

"Okay! It's good as long as you've eaten!" He Daqing echoed, saying, "Your sister-in-law and your aunt Li are in the living room. Go find them!"

"Hey!" He Yu Shui responded. The two children greeted He Daqing and followed He Yu Shui to the living room.

Just when He Yushui brought her children to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, Lou Zhenhua walked into a breakfast shop with his wife and daughter. Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingya found an empty seat and sat down, while Lou Xiaoe walked to the cashier, looked at the price list on the blackboard, and said, "One bowl of bean juice, two bowls of salty tofu brain, four fried dough rings, a plate of pickles, four sirloin fire cakes, and two bowls of fried liver." After that, Lou Xiaoe put the money and food coupons on the counter.

The salesperson quickly collected the money and the ticket, then tore off a few tickets from the receipt book and put them on the counter along with the change. Lou Xiaoe collected the money, took the ticket to the food delivery window, and handed it in.

After running back and forth three times, Lou Xiao'e finally brought the food to the table. Lou Zhenhua couldn't wait to pick up a bowl of soy milk and took a sip. After savoring it for a while, he nodded and said, "This is the taste."

Tan Lingya picked up the spoon, stirred the tofu pudding in front of her, and said, "Your father has been dreaming of this for more than ten years in Hong Kong. Today, his wish has come true."

Lou Zhenhua said: "Many things can be bought outside. But this soy milk is only available in Beijing. Even if you make it at home, it won't taste this good." After saying that, Lou Zhenhua picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and put it in his mouth, then picked up a burnt doughnut and took a bite, and continued to slowly drink the soy milk in the bowl.

When Lou Zhenhua finished drinking the soy milk and was about to eat the fried liver, Director Yang's voice suddenly rang in Lou Zhenhua's ears: "Boss Lou?!"

Lou Zhenhua looked up at Director Yang, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shout: "Yang Yongjun?!"

"It's me!" Director Yang replied, and sat down at the table next to Lou Zhenhua. Lou Zhenhua asked, "Where are you working now?!"

Yang Yongjun sighed and said, "Don't mention it! I made mistakes because of something back then. Then I was demoted. Now I'm retired." Then he asked, "Aren't you and your family in Gangcheng?!"
