Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 161 Donation Anecdotes
Everyone in the front yard was very angry. Yi Zhonghai also ran to the back yard. Seeing this situation, he asked tentatively: "How about all of you in the front yard go to Xu Damao?"

Grandpa Sun's eyes lit up. This was also a solution. Although Xu Damao was a little reluctant when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words, he didn't know how to refute it.

Yan Bugui said at this time: "This shed is too small. I guess it can't accommodate so many people."

Yi Zhonghai also realized that the Yan family had the largest number of people, and if you add the Sun family, the Wang family, and the Yi Jun family, there really wasn't enough space to accommodate them.

Yan Jiekuang said to Yan Bugui at this time: "Let's take shelter from the rain for now. I will take Sun Xiaolong and Big Brother to my place. I have some wood. Let's go and fetch it back."

Yan Bugui thought about it and decided that this was the only way to do it. Widow Wang's eyes lit up. She didn't want to stay in the backyard, so she said, "That's a good idea. Let's go to the next door and borrow a tricycle."

Several people in the front yard followed Yan Jiekuang to Yuer Hutong, which was not far away. After a while, the things were pulled back. Yan Jiekuang took the initiative to help, and soon a large earthquake-proof shed was built in the front yard. It was divided into two rooms, one for men and one for women.

Yan Jiekuang built two more stoves, so now everyone had to eat together. Fortunately, the neighbors in the front yard were all people who knew each other well, and they all generously took out their own food.

Seeing that everything was almost done, Yan Jiekuang said goodbye to his parents and went home. Yan Bugui already knew the situation over there and did not stop him.

After returning to Yuer Hutong, Yan Jiekuang immediately went to prepare lunch, Yan Jiedi teased her nephew, and Ji Lian was preparing food for the big cats.

While doing it, he told Yan Jie Di about the strangeness of Da Mao and Tian Tian, ​​and about the warning yesterday. Yan Jie Di's eyes lit up. Da Mao had followed Yan Jie Di for a while before, although they were still children at that time, but it did not delay the development of their feelings at all.

Yan Jie Di was stroking the cat while praising the big cat. Tiantian was tired and kept howling beside him, meaning that he also contributed to this, which made Ji Lian laugh.

Yan Jie Di stayed here, and Yan Jie Kuang went to the unit the next day. Two warehouses in the unit's building had collapsed a little, but the other houses were fine. The people in the unit had organized people to repair them without waiting for the aftershocks. There were all kinds of technical personnel in the institute, and they spent half a day repairing the houses.

A week later, the aftermath of the earthquake had passed and it looked like there would be no more aftershocks, so Yan Jiekuang asked Ji Lian and the children to move back to the main house, and Yan Jiedi also went to the guest room in the backyard.

Yan Jiekuang and his sister were preparing to return to the courtyard today. Yan Bugui sent a message saying that there was not much food left at home, and asked him to bring some over, preferably some vegetables.

Yan Jiekuang carried cornmeal and ten kilograms of flour, some vegetables, and of course some bacon.

When the brother and sister carried their things back to the courtyard, they found no one in the front yard. They heard that a meeting was being held in the central courtyard. Yan Jiekuang put the things in Yan Bugui's room and went to the central courtyard with Yan Jiedi. It turned out that Director Wang organized a meeting for the people in the courtyard.

The conference talked about the source of the earthquake and said that the disaster area is in great difficulty and lacks a lot of things. It is hoped that the neighbors in the courtyard will donate some supplies to help the disaster area.

Yi Zhonghai took the lead and said to the neighbors: "When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to our aid. We are a big family and we need to help each other. I will donate 500 yuan on behalf of our family. We also have some clothes and bedding that we don't need, so we will donate them together."

Director Wang was a little surprised and looked at Li Cuilan with an inquiring look. Li Cuilan smiled and said, "I support our old man. This is what we should do."

When the neighbors in the compound were sighing at Yi Zhonghai's generosity, Liu Haizhong also stood up and said, "I will donate 500 yuan as well, but there are many people in our family, and they are all living in other places. We don't have many clothes at home, so I will donate a set of bedding."

The neighbors in the courtyard were in an uproar again. Before the surprise had passed, Jia Zhang stood up and said, "Our family donated 300 yuan as a token of our appreciation."

The first person to be surprised at this time was his son Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu stared at his mother with wide eyes, as if he didn't know her. At this time, Yan Jiekuang curled his lips when he saw Yang Ruiping.

There were so many people talking now, and Yan Jiekuang didn't dare to ask her, as he didn't know what his mother meant.

When the neighbors saw this, they also donated money and materials enthusiastically, and even Xu Damao donated 200 yuan.

The people in the front yard, Yan Bugui took the lead, he also donated 500 yuan, Yan Jiekuang donated 300 yuan alone, the neighbors admired the old Yan family very much, but their eldest brother was sitting there on pins and needles, Yu Li next to him kept staring at him, Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to stand up. At the same time in Yuer Hutong, when the people from the street came to the door, Ji Lian received them, and Ji Lian also donated 300 yuan, which was a lot of money in Ji Lian's mind, she didn't even discuss it with Yan Jiekuang, she donated it directly.

Yan Jiekuang returned home with his parents. Yan Jiekuang was puzzled by his mother's expression and asked anxiously, "Mom, what was your expression when Jia Zhang donated money?"

Yang Ruiping curled his lips again and said, "Tsk, you don't know her, but I do. Do you know why she took the initiative to donate 300 yuan?"

Yan Jiekuang shook his head, and Yan Bugui also became interested and listened with his ears perked up.

Yang Ruiping continued, "She is afraid that Jia Dongxu will speak up. Jia Dongxu gets excited when someone praises him. Jia Zhang is afraid that he will follow his master's example. You see, Jia Zhang will definitely ask her son for the money."

Yan Jiekuang suddenly realized what was going on, but he also asked, "Who would praise me? Director Wang doesn't look like he wants to talk."

Yang Ruiping smiled mysteriously and said, "If Jia Dongxu comes forward, Yi Zhonghai will definitely praise Jia Dongxu. Yi Zhonghai would like Jia Dongxu to donate all his money."

Yan Bugui also suddenly realized and said, "The person who knows the Jia family best in this courtyard is your mother."

Yan Jiekuang understood and admired Jia Zhang's quick reaction. She could think of so many things in just a short time. It was amazing.

Here, Yan Jiekuang explained the things he had brought back and went to Yuer Hutong.

As soon as I got home, I felt that Ji Lian was a little abnormal. She spoke hesitantly, as if she had something to say to me but couldn't say it.

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Wife, if you have anything to say, just tell me. What happened to you today?"

Ji Lian lowered her head, not daring to look at Yan Jiekuang, and said in a low voice: "Someone from the street came to organize donations today, and I donated 300 yuan without your consent. I was afraid you would be unhappy if you knew."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "We are indeed husband and wife. I also donated 300 yuan to the courtyard over there without consulting you. We are really in sync."

Ji Lian was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Didn't we donate two copies?"

Yan Jiekuang held Ji Lian's hand and said, "Two donations are just right. One is for Big Fatty and one is for Little Fatty. In the end, both will help the people in the disaster area. Our family doesn't need this little money."

Ji Lian was relieved and said, "Don't you blame me for not discussing this with you?"

Yan Jiekuang scratched her nose and said, "Didn't I tell you when we got married that you are the head of our family, so you can make the decision. I agree with everything."

Ji Lian was happy then and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of this family."

"You're my wife, of course I'm at ease. You take a rest, I'll go cook." Yan Jiekuang said as he stood up.

Ji Lian said coquettishly: "No, I'll go with you."

Yan Jiekuang was about to nod when he heard the child crying on the bed. Yan Jiekuang said jokingly, "See how much your son loves you. He doesn't want you to go to the kitchen, haha."

Ji Lian was also happy and walked into the house, while Yan Jiekuang went straight to the kitchen.
