Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After leaving the Su family, Su Zihui asked, "Jie Kuang, where are we going now?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked back: "Where do you want to go?!"

Su Zihui said: "We don't have enough time today. How about we go climb the Great Wall tomorrow?!"

Yan Jiekuang suggested: "Okay! Let's go back and prepare now. Tomorrow we will climb the Great Wall and have a picnic."

"Yeah!" Su Zihui responded and followed Yan Jiekuang home.

When Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui turned into Shajing Hutong, Xiaodang followed Qin Huairu back home after buying vegetables. Qin Huairu looked at Xiaodang who was sitting in a daze on the chair while picking vegetables, and sighed unconsciously, saying: "Xiaodang, since you don't want to stay at home, go out for a walk."

Xiao Dang glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "What's the point of going shopping alone?!"

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face: "Since it's boring to go shopping alone, then find someone to go shopping with you. Others introduced you to someone, but you didn't want to. What do you want?!"

Xiao Dang tried to pout and said, "What kind of people are you introducing to me? They are as old as they can be. Two of them look almost as old as my dad."

"What are you talking about?!" Qin Huairu yelled, her face instantly lengthened. Xiaodang saw Qin Huairu's reaction, and his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said, "Mom! Don't be angry. I'm just describing it. Since you think I'm an eyesore staying at home alone, I'll buy a ticket back to Hong Kong City in two days."

When Qin Huairu heard that her daughter was leaving, her face changed again. After hesitating for a while, Qin Huairu said, "Xiaodang, it's rare for you to come back. How about, after Huaihua has a rest, you two can go to the countryside with me to visit your grandparents?!"

Xiao Dang asked curiously: "Mom! Are you still in touch with my grandparents?!"

Qin Huairu said: "They don't live far away. How could they not be in touch? They just don't visit each other often."

"Okay! I'll listen to you. I'll leave in a few days." Xiao Dang stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go out for a walk first and come back before lunch."

"Go! Go! I'm annoyed just looking at you!" After Qin Huairu sent Xiaodang away, she took the selected vegetables to the sink outside and started washing them.

After going out, Xiaodang wandered around Nanluoguxiang aimlessly. When Xiaodang passed by the entrance of an alley, a bicycle came out from it. Xiaodang couldn't avoid it and was hit by the bicycle. Xiaodang got up from the ground and cursed: "Don't you have eyes?! Why don't you walk on such a wide road and hit me?! You hurt me, can you afford to pay for it?!" When Xiaodang looked up and saw the person in front of him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to greet him: "Uncle Damao, it's you!"

Xu Damao looked at Xiaodang and asked in disbelief, "You are Qin Huairu's daughter Xiaodang?!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Dang replied and asked, "Uncle Damao, do you still remember me?!"

"Girls really change a lot when they grow up! In the blink of an eye, they have grown so big." Xu Damao looked at the curvy Xiaodang and felt a little itchy. However, Xu Damao was not so hungry that he would eat anything he could. After looking at Xiaodang for a while, he quickly came to his senses and asked, "Xiaodang, where do you work now?!"

Xiao Dang replied, "I went to Gangcheng with my friends a few years ago. I work in Gangcheng now. I do sales. Just like the salesperson here."

"Oh! You've become Miss Hong Kong. You must be doing well!" Xu Damao joked and asked, "You're not young anymore. Are you married?!"

Xiao Dang said: "You know my family situation, right? Who would like me?"

Xu Damao suddenly remembered that he had heard that Xiao Dang and Li Huaide were having an affair, and said, "I heard that Li Huaide is also in Gangcheng now."

When Xiaodang heard Xu Damao mention "Li Huaide", his face suddenly turned ugly. Xiaodang said: "I just regard Li Huaide as my uncle."

Xu Damao smiled and asked, "You're back from Hong Kong City, are you still leaving?!"

Xiao Dang replied, "I will be returning to Hong Kong in a few days." Then he asked, "Uncle Damao, do you know where Yan Jiekuang lives?!"

"I know!" Xu Damao replied casually, and asked, "Why?! You want to find him?!" Seeing Xiaodang's reaction, he continued, "Are you interested in Yan Jiekuang?!"

Xiao Dang was touched by Xu Damao's words and immediately showed an awkward smile on his face. He said, "The only old residents of our courtyard are your family, Sha Zhu's family, and Yan's family. I want to go see you before I leave."

Xu Damao said, "You don't have to come to see us. We are all fine now." Then Xu Damao raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and asked, "Xiaodang, are you okay? If you are, I will leave now!"

Xiao Dang sighed and replied, "I'm fine! Uncle Damao, you can go now!"

"Hey! I'm leaving now!" Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and ran two steps, then rode on it. Watching Xu Damao's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xiaodang realized that she hadn't asked Xu Damao for the address of Yan Jiekuang's home. Xiaodang sighed and thought to herself, "Forget it! It seems that Yan Jiekuang and I are really not destined to be together."

Before she knew it, Xiaodang had reached the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Looking at the courtyard in front of her, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Xiaodang hesitated for a moment and did not go in. The old man and woman who were enjoying the cool under the shade of the tree saw Xiaodang and their curiosity was piqued. An old woman asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?!"

Xiao Dang came back to his senses and said, "I'm not looking for anyone. I used to live in the middle courtyard here."

"Have you lived in the middle courtyard of this courtyard?!" When the old men and women heard Xiao Dang's words, they looked at each other, thinking that this girl looked familiar, but she just couldn't match the people in the courtyard. An old man suddenly remembered something and asked, "Girl, are you a child of the Jia family?!"

Xiao Dang nodded and said, "I am Jia Dang, the daughter of Jia Dongxu."

"Who did I think it was?! It turns out to be Qin Huairu's daughter. Shouldn't your father be Yi Zhonghai?!"

The person Xiaodang hated the most in his life, besides Jia Zhang, was Yi Zhonghai. Xiaodang said, "Jia Geng is Yi Zhonghai's offspring, and my sister and I are Jia Dongxu's daughters."

Another old man nearby said, "Whether it's the Jia family or the Yi family, these two families are not good people."

"It's really unreasonable!" Xiao Dang glanced at the old men and women present fiercely and turned away.

After Xiao Dang walked away, an old lady said, "You know what, that girl just now really looks a bit like Jia Dongxu."

"You haven't seen Qin Huairu's little daughter. That girl looks exactly like Yi Zhonghai."

"Fortunately, Qin Huairu moved away from our area. Otherwise, the reputation of our area would have been ruined by Qin Huairu."

Because of Xiaodang's appearance, the old men and women around No. 95 Nanluoguxiang had more things to talk about after dinner. But these had nothing to do with Xiaodang. After Xiaodang left No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, he was about to buy a roast duck to have a snack at noon, but he was stopped by Li Huaide.

Xiao Dang looked at Li Huaide and asked, "Director Li, what do you mean?!"
