Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "Dad, I, Yan Jiekuang, have been around for so many years, and the money I have saved is not enough to buy a few villas in Hong Kong City, isn't it a drizzle?!"

Yan Bugui was dumbfounded, really dumbfounded. He knew Yan Jiekuang was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich. Yan Bugui flattered his face and asked, "Jiekuang, tell me the truth, how much money do you have?!"

Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui looked at each other, and Su Zihui said, "Dad, Jiekuang probably doesn't even know how much money he has. You'd better not ask."

"That's right! Old man, it's a good thing for the child to have money. Why are you asking so many questions?!" The third aunt echoed, poured a glass of soda into the cup, took a sip, and then said: "Jie Kuang, you haven't visited Xiaohui's grandparents for more than a month. Wait a minute, go after you finish your meal. Let them feel at ease."

"Mom! Don't worry! We know what's going on!" Yan Jiekuang replied, picked up the wine glass on the table, clinked glasses with Yan Bugui, drank the beer in the glass in one breath, then picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then asked: "Dad, we have been gone for more than a month, have my second brother and the others come to visit?!"

Yan Bugui said angrily: "Your second brother has become stingy now. He and his wife come over to eat every day after get off work."

The third aunt said, "The fact that the children can come to eat with us shows that our old bones are still useful. If they don't come, you will be worried."

Yan Bugui muttered, "That's all I said. I'm so happy they can come!"

Su Zihui took out a stack of money from his pocket, handed it to Yan Bugui, and said, "Dad, these are our household expenses. Take them! Tell us when you have used them up."

Yan Bugui laughed twice, took the money from Su Zihui with an embarrassed look, put it in his pocket, and said, "Then I won't be polite."

Yan Jiekuang picked up the barrel and poured beer into the cup in front of Yan Bugui while saying, "Dad, you looked so ugly just now. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise you would definitely be laughed at by others. You don't feel ashamed, but we are!"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at Yan Jiekuang and said, "Jiekuang, you've never lacked money. Although your father has quite a bit of money in his bank account, I've never personally taken so much money. How can I not be excited for this first time?!"

Su Zihui thought of the scene when she saw the wall of gold bricks and cash in the villa in Gangcheng, and thought to herself: "Fortunately, the old man didn't go to Gangcheng. If he had seen the gold bricks and money in the villa, the family might have to hold a funeral now."

The third aunt saw Su Zihui in a daze and couldn't help asking, "Xiaohui, what are you thinking about?!"

"Nothing!" Su Zihui replied, and secretly glanced at Yan Jiekuang. Seeing that Yan Jiekuang didn't react, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mom, when the children are older, Jiekuang and I will take you out for a walk and see the beautiful scenery of our country."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Now you don't need a letter of introduction when you go out. You just need to bring your marriage certificate."

Yan Bugui was stunned and asked, "Why do you need to bring your marriage certificate?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "You need to use it to check in at the guesthouse! If you don't bring it with you, what if the police check your room at night? You don't want to go to the police station in the middle of the night, do you?!"

The whole family finished lunch while chatting in a pleasant atmosphere. The children went back to their rooms in groups. Yan Bugui and the third aunt sent Yan Bugui and his wife out directly.

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Jiekuang and his wife appeared at the gate of the Su family courtyard with the gifts they brought back from Hong Kong. Yan Jiekuang was about to ring the doorbell. The gate of the courtyard opened. Su Zilong, who was about to go out, saw Yan Jiekuang and his wife, and immediately smiled and asked, "When did you two come back?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I just got back today." Then he asked, "Is everything okay at home?!"

Su Zilong replied, "Everything is fine at home! Come in!" After that, Su Zilong did not go out, but walked into the yard with Yan Jiekuang and his wife. When they entered the middle yard, Su Zilong shouted, "Mom, look who's back?!"

Ding Jinan heard the shouting and walked out of the house. Seeing Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui, he asked with a smile: "You are back?! How is Gangcheng?!"

Su Zihui said, "It's OK. Although it's more developed than in China, I still feel more comfortable at home." Then Su Zihui followed Ding Jinan into the living room, handed the gift in her hand to Ding Jinan, and said, "Mom, this is the necklace I picked for you at the jewelry store in Hong Kong. Take a look, do you like it?!"

Ding Jinan took the jewelry box, opened it, took out the necklace, looked at it, and said, "This necklace is really well made."

"Brother, you're back?!" Just then Yan Jiedi ran in from outside, took Su Zihui's arm, and called out, "Sister-in-law!"

"Hey!" Su Zihui responded and handed the gifts prepared for Yan Jiedi and her husband to Yan Jiedi. Yan Jiedi took the two boxes and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's in these?!"

Su Zihui said, "I brought a pair of the latest watches for you and my second brother." Then she asked, "Where's the eldest sister-in-law? Why can't I see her?!"

Ding Jinan said, "Your sister-in-law went to your grandfather Jiang's place. Your grandfather Jiang's blood pressure has been high recently. Your sister-in-law is worried."

Su Zilong said, "It's not like we don't have enough space at home. I asked Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Han to move in with us, but the two old men didn't want to."

Yan Jiekuang said, "People of their generation have been strong all their lives. They don't want to live under someone else's roof when they get old. If the eldest sister-in-law asks, maybe they will agree." Then he asked, "Didn't the eldest brother take a vacation?! Why?! He didn't come back?!"

Su Zilong said: "I guess he will be back in the next two days."

"Jie Kuang and Xiao Hui are back?!" Just then Su Zhongguo and Ding Huawei walked into the living room.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui shouted in unison. Su Zihui took out the gifts prepared for the two old men from her bag and handed them over. Ding Huawei and Su Zhongguo took the gifts and put them aside. They looked at Yan Jiekuang and Ding Huawei asked, "Jiekuang, what did you gain from this trip to Gangcheng?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "This time I am mainly accompanying Xiaohui to go there for a stroll. I also want to take a look at the houses there."

Ding Huawei then asked: "You didn't do anything else in Hong Kong City?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "You know, I am a hands-off boss. Everything is done by the Lou family. They are doing a good job, so I don't care." Then he asked, "Grandpa, is someone gossiping about us?!"

Su Zhongguo said: "This time, the higher-ups sent people to Gangcheng to discuss the Red Star Steel Mill with the Lou family. Everything was fine when we first met. Unexpectedly, after a few days, the Lou family returned the matter."

Yan Jiekuang said, "What do I think it is?! The Lou family originally wanted to invest in the steel mill. But last time, someone directly rejected Lou Xiao'e's proposal. They wanted to invest at that time because of nostalgia. They say business is business, and now they have come to their senses. Of course, they will not use money to fill the bottomless pit of the steel mill. Why?! Just because they didn't make the deal, they want me to take the blame?!"
