Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 158: Happy to have a son
When Yan Bugui was telling the story of Xu Damao in vivid detail, Yan Jiekuang already knew that Xu Damao had participated in some activities, was used by some people, and became a scapegoat.

Yan Jiekuang felt fortunate that he did not participate. It was hard to say whether this was right or wrong, but the final radical activity was definitely wrong.

The people from the street office have been going door to door to understand the situation, and finally spread the word that this incident was an organized and premeditated activity involving other people. Yan Jiekuang knew that this was the characterization of the incident by the higher-ups, and he couldn't help but worry about Xu Damao.

But within two days, Xu Damao showed up in the courtyard in a swaggering manner, and the news quickly spread among the neighbors of the courtyard. Xu Damao felt that he was innocent. What's more, according to Xu Damao's own account, he was the fastest person to run out of there that day. According to his description, he also felt that this matter was not simple at the beginning, and saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away quickly, but the bad thing was that he was a small leader. Although he ran away, the people he led were still inside, so he had to cooperate with the investigation this time.

The matter passed like this, and Yan Jiekuang is now even more low-key. Apart from returning to the courtyard once a week, the young couple rarely appear in front of their neighbors in the courtyard and live their own lives.

One day, Yan Jiekuang asked Wang Xuan to bring back a pile of wood, saying that Yuer Hutong could not accommodate it, so he pulled it to the courtyard and placed it in Yan Bugui's utility room. Yan Bugui did not take it seriously, and along with the wood, some tarpaulin and rain cover were also transported.

Wang Xuan recently took over a job from Yan Jiekuang in Yuer Hutong and reinforced the house in Yuer Hutong. Wang Xuan was very puzzled at first, since Yan Jiekuang had maintained the house in good condition, why did it need to be reinforced?
Yan Jiekuang said that he was about to have a child, and that they would live in the house permanently in the future, so to be on the safe side, they would reinforce it all at once to save the trouble of cleaning it up later. Wang Xuan nodded when he heard this, thinking that they should clean it up properly.

Spring is here and everything is reviving. Yan Jiekuang basically stays at home except for work. He makes changes to his house from time to time. He wants to tidy up everything at once, such as replacing the wood and the roof tiles.

When she has nothing to do, she cleans up her yard. The front yard is basically paved with blue bricks, with a large blue and white vase in the middle. There are two plots of land in the backyard. The left one is planted with flowers that were transplanted before, and a pomegranate tree is planted near the back house. The small plot of land on the right is now empty. It was Ji Lian's request. She wanted to plant some small green vegetables.

In the northwest corner, near the courtyard wall, the plum blossoms that Yan Jiekuang had transplanted before survived. Although they have not bloomed, they are growing well.

There were not many changes inside the house. The house in the front yard was converted into a guest room, and the main house in the backyard became the bedroom for the couple. The room on the right is also a bedroom, but it is empty now. The west wing is a guest room and a bathroom, and the east wing is the kitchen, which also has two empty rooms. One of them was occupied by Yan Jie Di, who said that she often lived here, but except during festivals, Yan Jie Kuang had never seen his sister here.

By the time everything was ready, it was June and Yang Ruiping moved in. Because Ji Lian's belly was already very big, his mother was really worried, so she moved in.

Yan Jiekuang did not ask for leave. The unit was becoming more and more strict at that time. The director always had a stern face all day long. Lao Liu was very concerned about Yan Jiekuang and covered for him from time to time. He would not let Yan Jiekuang work overtime if he could avoid it, and when he left early, it was Lao Liu who took the blame for him.

In July, Yan Jiekuang felt uneasy. He didn't know why. He thought he was going to be a father. Was he a little anxious? But when Ji Lian's due date was getting closer, he didn't think too much about it. He discussed with his mother to send Ji Lian to the hospital first, since it would only take a few days.

Yang Ruiping had always cared about his third son, and was even more caring towards his third son's wife. He immediately agreed with Yan Jiekuang's opinion. At the beginning of July, Yan Jiekuang found Xu Huizhen, and through Xu Huizhen's relationship, he found a bed in the municipal hospital and sent Ji Lian there to give birth.

Coincidentally, the next day after she was sent in, Ji Lian had a response and went straight into the delivery room. Yan Jiedi ran home to inform Yan Bugui and Old Man Ji, but Ji Lian gave birth before these people arrived.

Yan Jiekuang was outside the delivery room and heard the loud cry of the baby inside. He was a little excited. Yang Ruiping looked towards the delivery room happily, but the door of the delivery room was not opened for a long time. Yan Jiekuang was a little anxious and kept walking back and forth. Yang Ruiping was also a little anxious, so he lay on the door to listen to the movement inside.

After a while, another baby crying sound came from inside. Unlike the previous one, this sound was quieter. Yang Ruiping was a little unsure, so he leaned against the door and listened carefully. After a while, Yang Ruiping shouted, "San'er, there are two, twins, the sound of two children."

Yan Jiekuang almost jumped up with joy, rushed to the door and asked, "Mom, are you sure, there are really two?"

At this time, the door of the delivery room opened and two nurses came out, each holding a baby. The leading nurse saw the mother and child, but still confirmed and said, "Are you Ji Lian's family members?"

Yan Jiekuang quickly said, "I am, I am his husband."

The nurse said, "Mother and child are safe, they are twins, both boys, the older one weighs 5.4 jin, the younger one weighs 4.6 jin. Let's take a look and confirm. We are going to take them to take a bath." The mother and child hurried forward, and Yan Jiekuang suddenly asked, "How is my wife?"

The nurse looked at Yan Jiekuang with appreciation and said, "He's doing fine, but he's a little tired. He fell asleep at this time. Go to the delivery room to see your wife later."

The mother and son looked at the baby, who was small and wrinkled, like a little old man. Yang Ruiping kept smiling, and took the child and hugged him, then reluctantly returned the child to the nurse.

The nurse took the child in. At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the corridor. Yan Jiekuang looked over and saw Yan Bugui supporting Old Man Ji and jogging. Following behind them were Shi Xiaoya and Yan Jiedi, one holding Yongchang and the other holding Yongxin.

Before Yan Bugui came close, he asked, "How is the baby? Is it born?"

Yang Ruiping said with a smile: "Yes, they are twins, just like Xiaoya, both boys."

Mr. Ji said a little excitedly: "Where's the child? Why hasn't he been brought out yet?"

Yan Jiekuang comforted the old man and said, "Grandpa, don't get excited. The baby has already been carried out. It's time for him to take a bath. We just need to go to the ward and wait. I will take him to the ward with Ji Lian in a while."

At this time, Master Ji asked, "How is Lian'er?"

Yan Jiekuang said: "The nurse said that he is fine, just a little tired and fell asleep. Let's go to the ward and wait."

Yang Ruiping saw Shi Xiaoya and asked, "Why are you here too, holding a child?"

Shi Xiaoya said, "San'er is going to be a father now, and sister Lian'er is going to have a baby, so how can I not come? I have to come no matter what."

Yang Ruiping took Yongchang and looked at Yongxin. He was instantly happy and said, "The Yan family should be nicer to us daughters-in-law. This family will be prosperous."

Yan Bugui was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He said, "That's right. We in the Yan family all have good daughters-in-law. You are also a great contributor to our family. Without you, how could we have them? Haha."

Several people walked towards the ward. Yan Jiedi held Yongxin in her arms, and Yongxin's little eyes looked around.

Soon, Ji Lian and the child were wheeled into the ward. Ji Lian was really tired. She opened her eyes and looked at the child, then at Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lian'er. You are a great contributor. If you are tired, just sleep a little longer. I will prepare some food for you."

Ji Lian smiled, looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "I didn't expect there would be two. I was completely out of strength and almost couldn't hold on."

Yan Jiekuang looked at Ji Lian distressedly, touched Ji Lian's face and said, "Don't do it anymore. Look how tired you are. I'll make chicken soup for you. You take a nap first."

Ji Lian closed her eyes and rested peacefully.
