Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Mai Yongnian, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked, "Mr. Yan, do you know Lou Shichang?!"

This is not the past few years, so Yan Jiekuang didn't have anything to hide and said directly: "I know him! He is a friend of mine." Then he asked: "Are you from Gangcheng?!"

"Yes!" Mai Yongnian's not-so-standard Cantonese voice reached the ears of everyone present. Everyone present looked at Mai Yongnian at the same time.

Mai Yongnian looked at the people around him with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "They have never seen anyone from Hong Kong City."

Mai Yongnian heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not going to take it as it should be."

Lin Rongsheng asked: "Mr. Yan, have you been to Hong Kong City?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, “I have been there. I went with the inspection team.” Then he asked, “What happened?!”

"Nothing?! I'm just asking casually." After saying that, Lin Rongsheng pulled Mai Yongnian to the side table and sat down. Yan Jiekuang glanced at Lin Rongsheng and Mai Yongnian, leaned his head close to Su Zihui's ear and whispered, "That Lin Rongsheng's eyes looking at you are a little strange?!"

Su Zihui asked back: "What?! Are you jealous?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Someone likes you. It shows that I have good taste."

"Tsk!" Su Zihui rolled her eyes at Yan Jiekuang and said, "It's not that you have good taste! It's me who has good taste. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen for you on the train."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Okay! I won't argue with you anymore. Take a seat!"

"Brother!" Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui had just sat down when Yan Jiedi pulled Su Zilong over.

Su Zilong glanced at Lin Rongsheng and asked, "Did that kid cause you any trouble?!"

“No!” Yan Jiekuang replied, and asked, “It was so lively over there just now. What were you talking about over there?!”

Su Zilong said: "Some of the people who used to get along well with me, whose families had some connections, have gone abroad in the past two years. Some of them are doing pretty well. Some of them didn't make a name for themselves abroad, so they're back now."

Yan Jiekuang said: "In fact, the moon in foreign countries is not rounder than that in China. On the contrary, it is full of dangers."

Su Zilong laughed and agreed, "You are the one who sees things clearly!"

Yan Jie Di then asked, "Brother, didn't you say you would take your sister-in-law to Hong Kong City during the summer vacation? When are you planning to leave?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "We'll leave next Wednesday. We'll go to Yangcheng first. Then we'll buy a package ticket from Yangcheng to Hong Kong City." Then he asked, "Do you two want to go over and have a look?!"

Su Zilong and Yan Jiedi looked at each other, and Su Zilong said, "Let's just forget it. We'll talk about it later when we have a chance!" Then he changed the subject and asked, "By the way! How long do you plan to be gone this time?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "It depends on how long Xiaohui plans to stay."

Su Zihui said: "I just plan to go and see the world. I will stay for two weeks at most."

Yan Jiedi said: "Sister-in-law, don't forget to bring me a gift."

Su Zihui replied, "No matter who I forget, I will never forget you." Then he looked at Su Zilong and asked, "Is Big Brother back?!"

"My eldest brother won't be on vacation until next month. He will probably be back before my sister-in-law gives birth. But my parents have already contacted the hospital for my sister-in-law." After saying that, Su Zilong looked around and asked, "Jie Kuang, do you still have the air conditioner?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Yes!" Then he asked, "What's the matter?!"

Su Zilong said, "It's because my dad was showing off and someone took a fancy to him. Although there are some in China, the cooling effect is not as good as what you gave us."

Yan Jiekuang said: "All the things we use are from Hong Kong. Of course, the things are better than those in China."

Su Zihui asked: "Second brother, didn't you promise someone else?!"

Yan Jiedi said, "Xiaohui, you are right. His college classmate came to see him yesterday. We have a job right now! He lost his direction after others praised him a few times."

Su Zilong said: "Jie Kuang, you can't let me embarrass myself in front of my friends, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang stretched out his hand and rubbed his thumb back and forth between his index and middle fingers. Su Zilong saw Yan Jiekuang's gesture and asked, "How much do you want?!"

Yan Jiekuang directly quoted the number of three thousand. When Su Zilong heard that he was asked for three thousand, he was stunned. Su Zilong said, "Isn't this too expensive?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "If you think it's too expensive, don't use it!"

"Forget it! It's better to lose face than to pay for it yourself!" Su Zilong muttered and looked at Yan Jiedi with a pitiful look.

Yan Jie Di pretended not to see it, turned her head and said to Su Zihui: "Sister-in-law, my classmate can buy a washing machine without a ticket. Do you want one?! When I buy it, ask her to bring one for you?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Jie Di, don't waste that money. Your brother has already talked to his friend. I will pick up the goods in two days. Not only a washing machine but also a refrigerator."

Yan Jie Di looked at Su Zilong with a provocative look, gave Yan Jie Kuang a thumbs up, and said, "Brother! You are still generous!"

"You devilish girl!" Yan Jiekuang said to Yan Jiedi, and just as he was about to say something else, Zhang Xiaotang and Yan Beisheng appeared in front of everyone. Yan Beisheng and Zhang Xiaotang picked up their wine glasses and said some opening words. Then the dishes began to be served one after another. When they had almost finished the food and wine, Yan Beisheng and Zhang Xiaotang began to toast.

After Yan Beisheng and Zhang Xiaotang finished their toast, Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang had almost finished eating. They said hello to Yan Beisheng and Zhang Xiaotang and left Quanjude.

Mai Yongnian, who was sitting next to Lin Rongsheng, saw that Lin Rongsheng looked unhappy as he looked at Su Zihui's back. Mai Yongnian took a sip of wine and said, "Go after her if you like her! Don't leave regrets when you are old! But I remind you. Don't be reckless when you go after her. Otherwise, no one can save you if something happens."

Lin Rongsheng glanced at Mai Yongnian, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said, "I'm not a fool. I would give up a forest for one person."

"I'm glad you figured it out!" Mai Yongnian echoed, picked up the bottle and poured half a glass of wine into the glass in front of Lin Rongsheng, saying, "Let's drink! I'll find you a bunch of beauties when we get back!"

After leaving Quanjude, Yan Jiekuang took a bicycle, came to Su Zihui, pushed the bicycle and accompanied Su Zihui to walk home. Because the weather was quite hot, there was no pedestrian on the road at this time. Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui walked along the shade of the trees for a while, and Su Zihui couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing this, Yan Jiekuang got on the bicycle. Su Zihui sat on the back seat of the bicycle, holding Yan Jiekuang's clothes tightly with both hands. Yan Jiekuang smiled, pushed his foot, and reminded her at the moment when the bicycle rushed out: "Hold on tight!"

"Ride slower!" Su Zihui warned, and leaned her head obediently on Yan Jiekuang's back.

When Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui returned home, the banquet was over. After Yan Beisheng and Zhang Xiaotang sent the guests away, Yan Beisheng settled the bill and was about to take Zhang Xiaotang back home when Lin Rongsheng suddenly appeared in front of them. Yan Beisheng asked, "Lin Rongsheng, what can I do for you?!"

Lin Rongsheng smiled and pretended to be cautious, and asked, "Nothing else. I just want to ask what Su Zihui's husband does for a living?!"
