Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 124 Damao is investigated
In Yuer Hutong, Yan Bugui was quietly drinking tea and thinking.

Yan Bugui was shocked. The earliest object he saw was also from Yan Jiekuang, a bowl from the Yuan Dynasty. He had been thinking about it for several years, but Yan Jiekuang never let him see it again.

After going out for a look, he saw another rare piece of furniture from the Warring States Period. Yan Bugui was quite jealous, but he knew that once it fell into Yan Jiekuang's hands, he would never be able to get it out.

Yan Jiekuang took a look and said to his father sitting opposite him, "Dad, these things are all placed there. Can't you see why?"

"Why?" Yan Bugui asked immediately.

"You are still a teacher. You have to see knowledge in this area before you can recognize it. The more you see, the more you will recognize. Now you see, there are no less than ten pieces of jade that have flowed from the garbage dump into my hands, but you didn't take them seriously because you didn't recognize them. You have to learn. Read more books." After Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, he walked to the west wing and opened the secret wall.

"Come on, Comrade Yan, pick some books." Yan Jiekuang shouted.

There was a wall of history books, including the earliest silk books. Yan Bugui was shocked, but he also made up his mind to study hard.

Yan Jiekuang selected five volumes of Qing history and miscellaneous notes for him. Yan Bugui gladly accepted them and took his time, reading them step by step.

After seeing Yan Bugui off, Yan Jiekuang was carefully cleaning the table in the study, with the big cat lying next to him.

Front yard of the Siheyuan

Xu Damao came back, looking a little haggard. Widow Wang walked up to him and asked, "Are you okay? You didn't get enough rest. Go home and get some sleep."

Xu Damao was listless. He agreed and was about to walk back. "Wait a minute, Damao, Haitang is afraid to go back to her parents' home. I'm telling you this." Yu Li shouted from behind.

Xu Damao waved his hand, meaning that he understood, and walked towards the backyard.

He Yuzhu was competing with He Xiao. He Xiao wanted to go find Huaihua, but He Yuzhu forced him to do his homework.

The two of them were at a stalemate, and He Xiao said, "If you don't let me go, I will tell my mom about you bribing the teacher to take me out to play."

He Yuzhu stopped moving instantly, waved his hand and said, "Who cares about you?" He Xiao ran away.

He Yuzhu was about to go back to the house when he looked up and saw Xu Damao. "Oh, my chief, you are back after giving instructions."

Xu Damao said angrily: "I am cooperating with the investigation. What explanation do you have? Can't you see that I am fine?"

He Yuzhu insisted, "How many times did the security department give you instructions? Which one did you give me?"

Xu Damao looked horrified and said, "I am cooperating with the investigation. Good water and cigarettes are waiting for you."

"Come on, Ma Hua said he heard you yelling there, but you're still being stubborn." He Yuzhu said gloatingly.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai came out and said to He Yuzhu, "Okay, we are all from the same courtyard, don't add insult to injury, Damao should go back quickly."

Xu Damao glared at He Yuzhu and walked to the back.

He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai: "Li Huaide found a box of goldfish and cash in his house. I don't believe you when you say Xu Damao is fine."

Yi Zhonghai looked at this silly Zhuzi and said, "We are from the same courtyard, and he even worships you as his father. Can you please be more quiet?"

He Yuzhu heard this and said angrily: "I am just talking about the matter at hand. Well, I don't care. I'm going to go see my grandma."

He Yuzhu turned around and went into the house. He did go into the house, and Wang Erzhu heard what they said. Wang Erzhu's eyes rolled around.

Siheyuan Backyard

He Yuzhu asked Yan Jiekuang when he would clean up the house. Yan Jiekuang knew that he was worried that the noise would be too loud and disturb the deaf old lady.

He said, "It won't move in the short term, maybe after the Chinese New Year, don't worry."

He Yuzhu left with peace of mind. Xu Damao had just recovered today and was preparing to go to his father-in-law's house to pick up Yu Haitang. As soon as he went out, he saw Yan Jiekuang looking at his three rooms.

"Yan Laosan, do you really want to move back? Doesn't your unit provide housing?" Xu Damao asked.

Yan Jiekuang looked at Xu Damao and said, "My unit is small. Besides, no one has remembered the housing allocation in the current situation."

Xu Damao thought about it and said, "I'll leave first. If you have anything, come to Jiaodaokou Cinema to find me. I've been transferred there."

"Okay, Brother Damao." Yan Jiekuang said. At this time, Liu Haizhong came over and said, "Old Third, have you found someone to clean up the house? If you find someone, let me know. I want to repair it, too."

Yan Jiekuang was very surprised and asked, "Didn't Brother Guangfu tell you to go to Tianjin? What are you doing?"

"I really couldn't get used to living here, so I retired two years ago and just stayed in the yard without moving," said Liu Haizhong.

Yan Jiekuang said: "Uncle Liu, I want to pretend too, but the old lady is not in good health, so I dare not move."

Liu Haizhong thought so too and said he would do it together with him when the time came.

Yan Jiekuang returned to the front yard, and Yang Ruiping stopped him and asked, "What medicine did you give your father? He insisted on having a study room, and he read books every day, forgetting to eat and sleep."

Yan Jiekuang chuckled and said, "Books contain golden houses and beautiful women. My father has set his sights on the golden house and is ready to make a fortune."

My mother chuckled and said, "That's good. It's much quieter. Are you still repairing the backyard?"

"Let's talk about it after the New Year. The old lady is already in that condition. I won't make things more complicated and will just send her away." Yan Jiekuang said.

Yang Ruiping glared at him and said, "You crow's mouth, hurry up and get ready for the New Year. This year we are counting on you."

"Okay, Mom, just hold it." Yan Jiekuang said.

At the end of January, Yan Jiekuang was busy in Yuer Hutong. This year he was delivering the gifts to every household, but it was too tiring, so he asked them to come and pick them up themselves.

Cai Quanwu was the first to arrive. Yan Jiekuang prepared more dishes. There were indeed few green vegetables in winter. Each family had a chicken, a duck, and some beef. Pork could still be bought outside and there was no shortage in the market, so Yan Jiekuang did not prepare any. Then there was fish, one carp and one sea bass.

Next was Li Chenggang's house. His father came with his brother, and finally it was Zhang Wenchang's house. His father had not come back yet, so his brother came to take things away. He left quite a few things behind, and several families left some candies, cakes and wine. Now, the New Year's goods were almost ready.

Yan Jiekuang borrowed a tricycle from his workplace, loaded up his stuff, took the five little ones, and set off. Big Cat and Tiantian did not go because Big Cat was lazy, and Tiantian was afraid of his mother, who chased him with a stick every day and was traumatized by the situation.

They arrived soon, and Yan Jiekuang called Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiecheng to help carry the things.

Several people brought the things to my mother, who looked at them one by one. Then Yan Bugui looked at them again, which made Yan Jiekuang roll his eyes.

There was a whole box of White Rabbit milk candy, and as soon as it was taken out, Yan Jiedi hugged it in her arms. Yang Ruiping was so angry that he hit her, but Yan Jiedi refused to let go.

Yu Li had been making eye contact with the old ambassador, but in the end it was her father who stepped in and just split the couple up, letting no one else bear any grudges.

Yan Jiedi said, "I'm just thinking about this candy box." Several people looked as if they didn't believe you.

Xiaodang also came and brought a scarf for Yan Jiekuang. Yang Ruiping looked at Yan Jiekuang with eyes that looked murderous.

Yan Jiekuang saw that things were not going well, so he quickly said to Xiao Dang: "Let's go and take you to the movies."

After saying that, he ran away with Yan Jiedi and Xiaodang and went straight to Jiaodaokou Cinema. Xu Damao was really the ticket inspector.

When Xu Damao saw that it was them, he let them in directly. Several people went in and sat down. They only realized it was "Seaport" until the movie started.

The three of them were still not satisfied after watching the movie, so they walked to the door and Yan Jiekuang said, "Come back and watch it when you have time. Brother Damao is here."

Xu Damao came over from somewhere and said, "Come if you have nothing to do. I'm here." The three people said a few words to Xu Damao and went home.

Yan Jiekuang suddenly saw two people standing not far from the cinema, staring at Xu Damao at the door. Seeing that her brother had not left, Yan Jiedi asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

Yan Jiekuang pointed at two young men not far away and said, "Look, are those two people staring at Xu Damao?"

Yan Jiedi and Xiao Dang looked at it and said after a while, it must be him, his eyes and movements are all around Xu Damao.

Yan Jiekuang said, "It's almost the New Year, please don't let anything happen. I'll go tell him."

Xiao Dang said, "I'd better go. I didn't talk to Uncle Damao just now, so they won't notice me."

After saying that, Xiaodang ran towards the cinema.
