Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Jia Dongxu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master! I will always remember your kindness to our family. Don't worry!"

Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongxu's reaction, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Since the child is fine. It's getting late, let's go back to the factory first!"

"Hey!" Jia Dongxu responded and was about to follow Yi Zhonghai. Qin Huairu came back after paying the money. Qin Huairu asked, "Dongxu, are you leaving now?!"

Jia Dongxu said: "My master and I have to go to work in the afternoon. Please take good care of Banggeng."

"Hey!" Qin Huairu responded and handed the invoice in her hand to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu took the invoice, looked at it, put it in his coat pocket, and said, "Be careful when you go back." After that, Jia Dongxu followed Yi Zhonghai and left.

"Mom! Let me hold the stick!" Qin Huairu walked to Jia Zhang's side and said.

"Well!" Jia Zhang handed the stick to Qin Huairu and said, "Let's go!"

After leaving the hospital, Jia Zhang asked with some complaints: "Huai Ru, you spent a lot of money today, didn't you?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "The money for Banggeng's medical expenses today was given by the uncle. Don't worry, Mom! We definitely didn't spend any of our own money."

Jia Zhang's face changed, she glared at Qin Huairu and said, "What do you mean by not spending our money?! He has no children, only Dongxu as his apprentice. From now on, his money belongs to our family!"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu was speechless.

In the blink of an eye, it was 2:30 in the afternoon and school was over. Yan Jiekuang was walking home when he suddenly saw a middle-aged woman and a girl coming out of a courtyard. Yan Jiekuang took a closer look and found that the girl was none other than Liu Lan.

"Why is she here?!" Yan Jiekuang muttered, and out of curiosity, he quietly walked over. As soon as Yan Jiekuang walked to the side of the two, he heard the middle-aged woman say: "Lanzi, their family is well off. His father is a kitchen helper in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He also has a job. As long as you marry him, his father will immediately transfer the job to you. You can transfer your household registration here. Then you can eat commercial grain."

Liu Lan said, "He has brothers and sisters. How could his father give me the job? Besides, I am the eldest in the family. After getting married, I have to help the family more or less."

The middle-aged woman advised: "Lan Zi, they said that they can give you 20 yuan as a betrothal gift. Besides, you have a job now. Can't you help support your family?!"

Liu Lan said: "I have to go back and ask my parents about this."

"Okay!" the middle-aged woman responded, and said, "I'll take you to the station now."

Yan Jiekuang looked at the two people's backs, frowned, and said, "Liu Lan is good except for his mouth. How about I match Liu Lan up with Sha Zhu?! But I've only heard the voices of Sha Zhu and He Yushui in all these days here, and haven't seen him in person. Let's look back and see to what extent Sha Zhu has been brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai, and then talk about his relationship with Liu Lan." Having made up his mind, Yan Jiekuang followed.

Then Yan Jiekuang saw the middle-aged woman go to the toilet, and immediately walked up to Liu Lan and asked in a pretentious manner: "Are you Sister Liu Lan?!"

Liu Lan asked: "Who are you?! How do you know me?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "My grandfather lives in Zuojiazhuang, I saw you there." Then he asked, "Why did you come to the city?!"

Liu Lan replied: "I'm here for a blind date."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Are you interested?!"

Liu Lan shook her head and said, "It hasn't been decided yet."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Sister Liu Lan, marriage is a woman's second life. You must keep your eyes open and never let yourself get hurt for the sake of momentary pleasure. Give me an address. I'll see if I have a suitable one and introduce one to you."

Liu Lan laughed and said, "You little brat, you actually acted as a matchmaker! Okay, I'll give you an address."

Yan Jiekuang immediately took out a pen and paper from his schoolbag and handed them to Liu Lan. Liu Lan took the pen and paper, wrote an address and handed it to Yan Jiekuang, saying, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Yan Jiekuang nodded, took out five or six White Rabbit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Liu Lan's hand, saying, "I live in the front yard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. If you have anything, you can go there to find me. Sister Lan will see you later!"

"Who was that guy just now?!" the middle-aged woman came out of the bathroom and asked curiously.

Liu Lan replied: "He is the child of a relative from my village."

"Oh!" The middle-aged woman did not doubt him and urged: "Let's go!"

"Little Erlang, carry your schoolbag to school!" Yan Jiekuang said goodbye to Liu Lan, humming a song and skipping towards the courtyard. As soon as he turned into the alley, Yan Jiekuang heard someone calling him from behind. Yan Jiekuang stopped, turned his head, and smiled and called, "Brother Zhuzi." Then Yan Jiekuang muttered in his heart, "Teacher He is really young now."

He Yuzhu walked up to Yan Jiekuang with a lunch box in his hand and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you feeling better?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Okay!" Then he asked, "You got off work early?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Our kitchen is like this. As long as there are no entertaining parties in the evening, we can go home a little after three o'clock in the afternoon."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Brother Zhuzi, have you heard? Banggeng's leg was broken."

He Yuzhu replied: "More than just heard about it?! This afternoon, an old man came to the kitchen and found me. He told me about it himself."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Brother Zhuzi, what does the word 'Ya Ye' mean?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "What else can it mean?! When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid." Then He Yuzhu asked: "Yan Jiekuang, why are you asking this?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Master Yi said that a life is only worth five dollars. Banggeng only broke his leg, so a few cents is enough. Can't the Jia family come up with that much money?! Besides, a master and an apprentice are like father and son. Jia Dongxu is Master Yi's apprentice. How can Master Yi not help his apprentice when he is in trouble?!" Then he asked, "Brother Zhuzi, I heard that your master treats you well. Have you seen him in the past few years?!"

He Yuzhu said with a bitter face: "Why did you drag me into this?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Brother Zhuzi, although I am young, I know a lot of things. For some things, you can't just look at the surface, you have to look inside. They all call you Shazhu, but in fact you are not stupid at all. Stupid is just your disguise." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang smiled at He Yuzhu, turned around and ran towards the courtyard.

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Jiekuang's back and muttered to himself, "This kid has changed after being hit by a brick. Never mind! Let's go back first!"

"Jie Kuang, why did you come back so late today?!" As soon as Yan Jie Kuang entered the door, the third aunt's voice rang out.

Yan Jiekuang said, "I met an acquaintance on the way and chatted with her for a while. Just now, I met He Yuzhu at the entrance of the alley. From his tone, it sounded like the eldest uncle was going to call a meeting of the whole courtyard to donate money to the Jia family in the evening."

"What?!" Yan Bugui, who was resting in the inner room, jumped up from the bed when he heard the word "donation", walked to Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Really?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I estimate it's about right."
