Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 131 Neighborhood Daily Life
Yan Bugui looked around and finally saw the big cat again.

Yan Bugui asked: "Has anyone seen a big cat?"

"What you said is true. I've seen a lot of big cats. If not eighty a day, there will be at least a hundred." Yan Jiekuang joked.

"Who gave the big cat the thing on its neck?" Yan Bugui asked without beating around the bush.

"Seventh Master, it's specially made for big cats." Yan Jiekuang said.

When Yan Bugui heard that it was not an antique but was made by Master Qi, he immediately lost interest and said, "Oh, it looks pretty good."

"Seventh Master's craftsmanship is the best in the world, and no one dares to say he is second. I tell you, Wanli's crown was restored by Seventh Master. It is the best craftsmanship." Yan Jiekuang said with a beaming eyebrow.

When Yan Bugui heard this, he thought this was a god, and that his things would be almost as valuable as antiques in the future, so he asked, "Do you still have any of Master Qi's things?"

"Other people only do one a year, how could I do that?" Yan Jiekuang said.

Yan Bugui was so angry that he suddenly stood up and said, "You are nothing." Then he turned and left.

Yan Jiekuang was laughing so hard in the back that he was laughing out loud. His father was so obsessed with things that he didn't even know how much money he had. The furniture in his two warehouses were all very valuable. He was thinking about gold, silver, jade and porcelain every day. No one knew what was on his mind.

Yan Jiekuang didn't remind him, in case he might get some bargain from Yan Bugui one day.

Yan Jiekuang packed up at home, picked up a chicken, took the big cat, rode his bicycle, and headed for the courtyard.

As soon as I carried my bicycle into the yard, I saw Yi Jun moving things from his yard into the aisle.

"Brother Jun, what are you doing? Picking up the junk?" Yan Jiekuang said.

"That's right. Your sister-in-law wants to rebuild the stove. Hurry up, put down your things and help me." Yi Jun said hurriedly as he saw Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang pushed the cart inside and said, "Okay, wait for me."

After a while, Yan Jiekuang built a stove for Yi Jun. This was Yan Jiekuang's expertise. The couple were very grateful. Yan Jiekuang waved his hand and went to the west wing.

"Mom, what do you want to eat?" Yan Jiekuang's voice came before anyone arrived.

Yang Ruiping said happily: "Anything is fine. I like everything San'er cooks."

The big cat jumped into the west wing, and Yang Ruiping hugged it, "Big cats are really caring."

Yan Jiekuang curled his lips and said, "The big cat didn't bring you any chickens, so why would it care about you?" The old couple's thinking was getting more and more outrageous.

Yan Jiekuang was cleaning the chickens at the door. After a while, he saw Jia Zhangshi and Jia Xiaobao walking over. They didn't say anything, just walked around and left. After a while, they came over again.

Yan Jiekuang thought to himself, "What is this for? If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you always bring Xiaobao around?"

At this time, Yang Ruiping came out, followed by Da Mao. Seeing Jia Zhang, they teased, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you greedy, or are you greedy for the mistress?"

Yan Jiekuang was stunned, "Why do you have anything to do with me?"

"San'er, your eldest nephew has never eaten the food you cooked. Please save a bite for him later." Jia Zhang said to Yan Jiekuang.

"Okay, I'll leave a big chicken leg for Xiaobao later." Yan Jiekuang teased Jia Xiaobao, and Jia Xiaobao was happy.

Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Xiao San is really nice."

Yang Ruiping was unhappy and said, "I'm not being unkind to you."

Jia Zhang was embarrassed, and Yan Jiekuang quickly said, "Aunt Jia, I'll send it to you in a while. You go back first."

After Jia Zhang left, Yang Ruiping still looked at her with disdain. Yan Jiekuang knew that his mother still hated Jia Zhang because of him.

"Mom, how's Aunt Li?" Yan Jiekuang tried to divert his mother's attention.

Yang Ruiping helped to clean up the chicken feathers and said, "He's much better now. He looks more energetic, but he looks like he has something on his mind."

"What else is there? Isn't it enough that you're better? What else do you want?" Yan Jiekuang asked in confusion.

"Li Cuilan rarely communicates with us. She is alone at home with Yi Zhonghai. She must be bored." Yang Ruiping said.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Talk to her more in the future, don't let her feel lonely in the compound." Yang Ruiping said, "Come to my place often recently, and chat when you have nothing to do."

Yan Jiekuang nodded, turned around and concentrated on cooking, while Yang Ruiping took the big cat back to the house.

When the aroma of Yan Jiekuang's Fujian-style chicken soup wafted out, Yan Bugui and Xiao Si came in. Yang Ruiping complained that the father and son always came home at mealtime.

Yan Bugui ignored all that and poured himself a glass of wine, then went to wait at the dining table. Yan Laosi went to the kitchen to help his brother serve the dishes. He saw that his brother had received a bowl of chicken legs alone, so he curiously asked who it was for.

Yang Ruiping said angrily: "Give it to that shameless person."

Yan Jiekuang said quickly, "Bring it over to Jia Xiaobao."

As soon as Yan Jie Di heard this, she knew that it must be Jia Zhang who came to flatter her. Didn’t she see that her mother’s face looked bad? So she said, “I’m not going,” turned around and went out with a large bowl of chicken soup.

Yan Jiekuang saw that he had to go by himself, so he came out of the house with chicken soup and wanted to run to the central courtyard.

Widow Wang took two steps instead of three and was about to come over. Yan Jiekuang was startled and said quickly, "Aunt Wang, this is for Jia Xiaobao. If you are not afraid of Aunt Jia, then speak up."

After listening to this, Widow Wang turned around and left, and the people around her who were eager to try also dispersed.

Yan Jiekuang sent the chicken soup over, but when he came back, the big basin was empty, not even a drop of chicken soup was left. Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to turn around and take the big cat to the backyard.

After a while, Yang Ruiping came in with a bowl of egg cake and said, "You made it so delicious. Are you not full? Come and eat this."

Yan Jiekuang took the bowl and said innocently, "My mother makes this, and I can never get enough of it in my lifetime."

Yang Ruiping smiled and said, "Silly, eat quickly."

While packing his clothes, Yang Ruiping said, "The bracelet that the deaf old lady gave you when she left is with me. I will keep it for you and give it to you when you get married."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

At this time, the door outside rang. Yang Ruiping went out to see Li Cuilan coming in with a bowl of meat porridge. She smiled and said, "I know San'er hasn't eaten since you were holding the bowl. I happened to have some porridge, so I heated it up and brought it over."

Yang Ruiping quickly took it and said jokingly: "This is the first time for San'er to eat the porridge made by Aunt Li. It's a blessing for him."

Yan Jiekuang stood up and took it, saying, "Thank you Aunt Li for still thinking of me."

After that, he started eating with big mouthfuls, and soon, he had finished both bowls. The two of them were chatting happily in the room, and Yan Jiekuang took the bowl and prepared to wash it.

Li Cuilan said, "San'er, no need, I can do it myself." and snatched the bowl away.

Yang Ruiping also said: "A grown man like you is really needed for this job. Your Aunt Li and I are leaving now." After saying that, the two of them left with their bowls.

Yan Jiekuang knew that Aunt Li was grateful, but he was also afraid of burdening her. Yang Ruiping had told her that Li Cuilan probably wouldn't get sick again, and she had been to the hospital for a checkup.

After finishing his meal, Yan Jiekuang thought about going to Ganjing Hutong for a walk. He hadn't been to that house for a while. He put on his backpack, turned around and left the house, just about to lock the door.

"San'er, where are you going? I can't see you every day." Xu Damao's voice came from the next room.

"Brother Damao, is there something wrong?" Yan Jiekuang said.

"Come in, I want to ask you something. Haitang, go and get a cup of tea." Xu Damao shouted in the room.

Yan Jiekuang walked into the room and sat down at the table without any courtesy. Xu Damao asked, "I want to ask you a question. Do you have any foreign exchange coupons?"

Yan Jiekuang was stunned. He had never seen it, but it seemed that the company really had it. He just didn't know how to apply for it. He said, "I haven't seen it either. If you want it, I can help you ask."

Xu Damao said, "I know your company has some. Ask for your brother's money. Ask for as much as you can get."

Yan Jiekuang was very surprised and said, "The things in the Friendship Store are not cheap. Why do you want them?"

Xu Damao said: "I just want to buy an imported TV, otherwise I will lose face in the hospital."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he realized that it was the TV in the Jia family that was causing the trouble, and he immediately agreed to Xu Damao.
