Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 189 Father Yan Asks for Advice
Yan Bugui was very puzzled as to why Yan Jiekuang brought him to the study, but he also followed Yan Jiekuang.

Arriving at the study, Yan Jiekuang first pushed the stroller to the side of the window, facing his desk, so that he could reach out and hug the child at any time. The child had fallen asleep again.

Yan Jiekuang made a cup of tea for his father, and the two of them sat opposite each other at the desk. It was then that Yan Bugui discovered that there was a pile of economics books on the table. Although he did not understand economics, he had been a teacher after all and knew the subject.

Yan Bugui then confirmed that his third child was really studying, so he asked, "Are you planning to change your major? What do you think? How old are you?"

"What do you mean by changing major? I'm a lifelong learner. Dad, tell me about your story first. What are your plans?" Yan Jiekuang said.

Yan Bugui took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know. I just feel uncomfortable with being idle all of a sudden. It would be great if I could be like the two people in our courtyard. Unfortunately, the school has no intention of letting me go back now. There are not enough places for the college students who return to the city. Everyone has their own job, and I have no job."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "What do you mean by pit? By the way, you want to work? Didn't you ask your second sister-in-law if there is anything to do on the street?"

"Forget it. How many people who have returned to the city know about this? Not to mention that there are no jobs now, even if there were, it wouldn't be my turn as an old man." Yan Bugui said.

Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and said, "I think you can suggest to the street director to build up the west wing as a garbage transfer site. This way you can have something to do and it can also solve the problem of arranging the arrangements for some people returning to the city."

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, thinking that the west wing had been idle for a long time due to various reasons. If it could be put into operation, he would have something to do. This was really feasible. He made up his mind to go to the street office when he returned.

After getting rid of his worries, he turned around and looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Old Third, I rarely interfere in your affairs, but what do you think about quitting your job? Do you still want to go back to school?"

Yan Jiekuang shook his head and said, "Dad, my trip to Hong Kong Island has had a profound impact on me. I have done some research at the Street Office. You know, if we calculate by profit, the steel mill and my brother's textile mill are both losing money. I think there will definitely be some changes in the economy in the future. I am preparing for a rainy day and making early preparations."

Yan Bugui frowned. He really didn't know about the losses of the two units, and no one had studied it. But he looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, "You haven't been corrupted by capitalism, have you?"

Yan Jiekuang spat out a mouthful of tea and said, "You really are my father. How dare you say such things? If this gets out, I'll be in big trouble. I have a good family background. Don't forget, I've also made contributions."

Yan Bugui said, "That's good. I don't understand economics, so I can't understand you now. I won't advise you. You are a college student, so it should be easy for you to work, but you can't stay like this. Although Ji Lian is working, you are just a street urchin now."

Yan Jiekuang knew that what his father said was true, so he said, "I will study for one or two years. If I have nothing to do after two years, I will definitely find a job. Is that okay?"

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you, but you should go home when you have time and talk to your mother. Although she spoke for you last night, she is most worried and distressed about you. Don't let your mother down."

Yan Jiekuang agreed, and then he realized that he had taken the matter too lightly and forgot to consider the feelings of those who cared about him and his relatives.

After Yan Bugui left, Yan Jiekuang sat in a daze at the desk, thinking about a lot of things, and finally sighed heavily. In this society, you can't just consider your own feelings, you must also be responsible for the people around you and those who care about you. In this regard, Yan Jiekuang felt that he was a bit too hasty and had gone a bit too far. He knew that if Ji Lian hadn't taken over his job, Ji Lian would probably live in fear.

Yan Jiekuang knew that things were done, so he stopped thinking too much and just put his studies first. In two years, everything would change.

The next day, after his wife went to work, Yan Jiekuang pushed the stroller leisurely to the courtyard.

But on the way, he saw several groups of young people gathering on the roadside with nothing to do. Yan Jiekuang knew that these were the people who had returned to the city and were now waiting for work to be arranged. These people were in a good condition now, but over time, they would become a huge hidden danger.

When Yan Jiekuang arrived at the courtyard, it was very quiet. Grandpa Sun in the front yard heard some noise at the door and came out to see. When he saw it was Yan Jiekuang, he greeted him. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Grandpa Sun, why didn't you go to the purchasing station?"

Grandpa Sun teased Big Fatty and Little Fatty and said, "The work of the purchasing station has been taken over by others. There are too many people who can't go back to the city. It's good. I can rest at home and look around the yard. You don't know that there are too many idle people in society now, wandering around everywhere. Just two days ago, money was lost in the yard next door." Yan Jiekuang heard what Grandpa Sun said and said, "Okay, thank you Grandpa Sun. With you here, the people in the yard feel a lot more at ease."

"We are neighbors, it's our duty. Okay, go back to the house and don't expose the children to the sun," said Grandpa Sun.

Yan Jiekuang pushed the stroller and returned home. He saw his mother with Yongchang and Yongxin. The two children were very well behaved and were playing by themselves on the floor.

When Yang Ruiping saw Yan Jiekuang coming back, he immediately went to pick up Da Pang. Da Pang smiled at his grandmother. Yang Ruiping was very happy. He carried Da Pang to the bed, then picked up Xiao Pang and said, "You should let the two children stay in bed more often and practice turning over. Don't always put the children in the stroller."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he knew that his father was telling on him, and he said, "Got it."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Where's my dad?"

Yang Ruiping glared at Yan Jiekuang and said, "It was your good idea. Your father went to see the new director yesterday. He said he would think about it, but your father went to block him again early this morning."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Then what can we do? This is the only solution. Now Grandpa Sun has been replaced, so there is no work for him. He can only figure it out on his own. I have no other choice."

Yang Ruiping looked at his sons and knew that if the third son didn't come up with any ideas, his wife would have to pester Yan Jiekuang every day.

Yan Jiekuang said at this time: "Mom, I'm sorry, I made you worry, but I promise you that I won't be at home for a long time, and I will definitely find something to do."

Yang Ruiping felt warm in his heart and said, "It's okay. I know my third child is the smartest. You must have your reasons for making any decision. Mom believes in you."

Yan Jiekuang then smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mom. To express my apology, I will cook lunch today."

Yang Ruiping looked at his son, smiled happily, and said, "You can go buy groceries later. I'll look after the child for you."

Yan Jiekuang agreed, and then the mother and son chatted about family matters while taking care of the child.

At around ten o'clock, Yan Jiekuang went out with the basket. Yan Yongxin asked in a baby voice, "Uncle San, where are you going?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "I'll go buy some groceries and make you something delicious for lunch. You stay at home with grandma, okay?"

Yan Yongxin said: "Okay, I will take good care of grandma and buy more delicious food."

"Got it, you little greedy cat. I'll bring you some candy later." Yan Jiekuang said as he touched Yan Yongxin's head.

Yan Yongchang looked unhappy when he saw this. Yan Jiekuang patted his head again and said, "It's your share. Just wait at home."

Yan Yongchang nodded, smiled at Yan Jiekuang, and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle. Third Uncle is the best."

Only then did Yan Jiekuang walk out of the house and run to the vegetable market.
