Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"This car must have cost a lot of money, right?! You are too extravagant!" Lou Xiao'e glanced at Yan Jiekuang, opened the car door, and got in. After two or three minutes, Lou Xiao'e got out of the car and said, "Yan Jiekuang, this car is good."

Yan Jiekuang understood what Lou Xiaoe meant and said, "Don't worry! I won't forget you and my Xiaohui. I've already made arrangements with the place where I ordered the cars. The deposit has been paid. They will deliver two new cars before the New Year. The license plates will be put on them then. You and Xiaohui will each get one."

Lou Xiao'e said: "Yan Jiekuang, I didn't expect you to be so generous."

Su Zihui smiled and said, "Don't you see? He has always been very generous. If he wasn't generous to you, she would be afraid that you would quit."

"I was wondering! How could he suddenly be so kind?!" After saying that, Lou Xiao'e glared at Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I sent you something out of kindness, and you actually said that to me?!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "Okay! I'm in a hurry, so I won't chat with you two. I'm leaving first!"

"Wait!" Yan Jiekuang stopped Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Do you want to drive away?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "No need!"

Yan Jiekuang pointed to an oil tank not far away and said, "There is gasoline in that tank. If your car is running low on gas, you can come over and fill it up yourself." Then Yan Jiekuang threw a door key to Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e took the key and said with a smile: "I'm leaving!"

After Lou Xiao'e left, Su Zihui walked up to Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Is it too high-profile for me to drive to and from get off work?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Just treat the sedan as a high-end bicycle. Just drive it. Don't feel any psychological burden."

I have to say that Lou Xiao'e's efficiency is really amazing. A little after two o'clock in the afternoon, all seven cars were hung with license plates. Lou Xiao'e delivered the six driving licenses to Yan Jiekuang, and then went to the parking lot and drove away a Crown.

The next morning, after breakfast, Yan Jiekuang went to the parking lot, filled up the pickup truck with gas, and drove to the door of his house.

When Su Zihui saw the car coming, she immediately loaded the prepared things onto the car. Yan Bugui and the third aunt came out and looked at the car parked at the door. Yan Bugui asked, "Jie Kuang, where did this car come from?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Dad, this car belongs to us. I came back from where I was sent to work in the countryside, so I drove you and mom out for a spin."

Su Zihui continued, "Dad, Jie Kuang has also prepared a car for me. If Jie Kuang doesn't have time, I can still go out with you."

The three aunts warned: "Jie Kuang, Xiao Hui, be careful on the road. We are watching over the children, so don't worry!"

Su Zihui said, "Mom, during the few days we're away, Jie Di and her husband will come over with their children to live here. If there's anything, just tell my second brother to do it. You're welcome."

Yan Jiekuang, who was standing nearby, heard Su Zihui's words and silently mourned for Su Zilong. If Su Zilong knew that he was sold out by his own sister, he wondered what he would feel. The last box was loaded into the car. Yan Jiekuang checked it carefully again, and after making sure nothing was missing, he took out a piece of rain cloth and covered the back of the car. Yan Jiekuang sat in the driver's seat and urged, "Xiaohui! Get in the car!"

"Hey!" Su Zihui responded, and after saying goodbye to the three children and Yan Bugui and his wife, he sat in the passenger seat. Yan Jiekuang waved to Yan Bugui and his wife, then released the brake and lightly stepped on the accelerator. The pickup truck started moving and slowly drove towards the entrance of the alley.

After leaving Sijiucheng, Yan Jiekuang increased the speed of the car. When they reached an empty area on the road, Yan Jiekuang stopped the car on the side of the road and said, "Wife, you drive! I'll show you the way!"

"Hey!" Su Zihui, who had been eager to try, got out of the car immediately, exchanged seats with Yan Jiekuang, and started the car under Yan Jiekuang's instructions.

At first, Su Zihui was a little nervous. But after driving for a while, Su Zihui became proficient. When it was almost noon, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui switched positions again. After getting off the national highway, Yan Jiekuang drove into a nearby county town. He found a state-owned restaurant and had a simple meal. Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui were on the road again.

There were few cars on the road at that time, and there were basically no people on the road at night. Yan Jiekuang kept the speed at about 100 kilometers per hour. The next morning, Su Zihui woke up from his sleep. Su Zihui stretched and asked, "Where are we?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "We just passed Dami County. We will reach the commune in half an hour." After that, Yan Jiekuang drove the car to the side of the road and said, "Since you are awake, get off the car and wash up. Wait a minute, we will have breakfast when we get to the commune."

"Okay!" Su Zihui responded, got out of the car, washed up simply, found a bush to take care of his personal hygiene, and then sat in the driver's seat.

Half an hour later, Su Zihui drove the car to the door of the commune's state-owned restaurant. After parking the car, Su Zihui woke up Yan Jiekuang who was taking a nap and said, "Get out of the car and eat!"

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, rubbed his hands on his face, and then got out of the car.

"Gou Wa!" As Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang entered the state-owned restaurant, they saw Gou Wa coming towards them. When Gou Wa heard Yan Jiekuang's call, he looked at Yan Jiekuang and shouted excitedly, "Master!"

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Why are you here?!"

Gou Wa said, "I'm working at the repair station in the commune now. It's my colleague's birthday today. He invited us to lunch." Then he asked, "Master, why are you here?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "My wife and I will go back to the village to take a look. By the way, we will discuss some things with the captain and others."

Gou Wa said, "Master, please wait for me for a while. I will go to work to ask for leave and go back with you." Then Gou Wa ran out of the state-owned restaurant and said, "You must wait for me!"

Yan Jiekuang glanced at Gou Wa's back, and walked to the cashier counter with Su Zihui. He glanced at the blackboard on the wall. Yan Jiekuang said, "Red-braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, shredded potatoes, and hot and sour cabbage. Four steamed buns."

The cashier said as he tore the bill, "Two dollars and sixty-eight cents, a pound of grain coupons and a half pound of meat coupons."

Yan Jiekuang took out the money and ticket and put them on the table. The cashier collected the money and ticket and handed the meal ticket to Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang took the meal ticket and walked to the serving window and handed it to the waiter inside. The waiter took the meal ticket, clipped it with a clip, gave Yan Jiekuang a sign, and said, "Wait!"

Yan Jiekuang walked over to Su Zihui with the sign and sat down. Su Zihui said, "I haven't been here for a few years. I didn't expect that this place hasn't changed at all."

Yan Jiekuang said: "When the educated youth went to the countryside to work, the wealthy ones relied on this place to supplement their nutrition."

Su Zihui said: "I was lucky to have you back then. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to live so comfortably."

"Number 17!" After about ten minutes, the waiter called out. Yan Jiekuang walked to the serving window with a sign, handed it to the waiter, and left with the tray. Because there were so many things, Yan Jiekuang ran back and forth twice before he brought everything to the table.
