Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 192 Resume the College Entrance Examination

Yan Jiekuang takes care of the two babies during the day. The two babies can already roll over, so he follows their mother's advice and usually puts them in his big bed. He teases the two babies from time to time and reads books when he has nothing to do.

He rarely went to the study at home. He would take the books to his bedroom and read while accompanying the baby.

The big cat is no longer in the central hall. It has run to Yan Jiekuang's master bedroom and stays beside the bed. It returns to its nest in the central hall at night. It does the same every day and stays in the backyard all day. What puzzles Yan Jiekuang is that it does not go home at all when it returns to the courtyard, and it does not go out every day when it returns to Yuer Hutong.

When Yan Jiekuang had nothing to do, he would organize his space. In addition to 20,000 yuan in cash and 60,000 US dollars, there were also antiques and books that he had collected over the years. The other sixteen safes were obtained from Sanyuan Village, but they had never been opened because Yan Jiekuang already knew what was in them, what else was there besides gold.

Before they knew it, it was October. When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination really spread to all parts of China, people from all over China were excited, and the courtyard was also excited. At this time, Xiaodang, Huaihua and Yan Jiedi seemed very silent.

Jia Zhang excitedly said that her eldest grandson Jia Geng was qualified, and that Jia Geng must take part in this exam. Jia Geng looked depressed. Only then did Xiaodang and Huaihua realize that their family members had never thought of them.

The Yan family was very peaceful, except that Yan Jiedi received a letter from her second brother, which was written specifically for her, asking her to review well, study hard, and make sure she was admitted to university.

Yan Jiekuang felt relieved at this time. The four Vajras he had imagined would have to go through this test, and there would be more severe tests afterwards. The plan in his mind began from today.

But the two little kids gave him a bigger surprise. When they were one year and two months old, they called him "Dad". Yan Jiekuang was extremely excited and hugged one and the other, which made Ji Lian pat him repeatedly and said to the two babies: "Come on, baby, call mommy, mommy."

The two little guys kept their mouths shut, but their eyes kept moving around at Ji Lian. Yan Jiekuang said excitedly, "You don't know, Big Fatty and Little Fatty can stand and walk a few steps on their own even with my support."

Ji Lian had a face full of jealousy, but she still kept repeating the word "Mom". She felt a little lost that she had never witnessed the growth of her own baby.

Suddenly, Big Fatty shouted, "Mom!" Ji Lian lost all her thoughts and was immersed in joy. She hugged Big Fatty. Just as she hugged him, Little Fatty next to her said "Mom". Ji Lian's happiness reached the maximum level. She hugged one in each hand and kissed them non-stop.

Yan Jiekuang looked at this heartwarming scene and really wanted to freeze the picture at this moment. This was a fragment of family happiness. Unfortunately, there was no video recorder at the moment. Yan Jiekuang suddenly thought, no, there is no video recorder in China now, but there are some abroad. He must find a way to call Lou Xiaoe.

On this day, Yan Bugui suddenly came to visit, which surprised Yan Jiekuang. He asked, "Dad, why haven't you coordinated the work of the street office yet?"

When Yan Bugui heard Yan Jiekuang's question, he said dejectedly, "Why are you talking about something else? The subdistrict office did accept my suggestion, but I had nothing to do with it. They submitted a plan to their superiors, and in the end, everyone was fighting for the spot at the garbage dump."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he understood that the current situation was really like this. No one could arrange for people to return to the city, so he said, "Then what are you going to do? Stay at home first?"

"What can I do if I don't stay? By the way, I remember there were several sets of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" on your bookshelf. Are they still there?" Yan Bugui replied.

Yan Jiekuang said, "There are several sets, and they are all in use. Why do you want this book? You are not going to college."

Yan Bugui said righteously: "A neighbor is going to take an exam and can't find the book. I am just asking. If you have extra books, you can give them to them. Isn't this also helping the neighbors?"

Yan Jiekuang didn't take it seriously and replied, "I have another set. I'll give it to you right away." Then he walked towards his study.

This set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" published by Shanghai Science and Technology Press was not taken seriously after its publication. When Yan Jiekuang was collecting books, he saw it at a scrap collection station. He immediately thought of the college entrance examination in the future and took it into his hands without hesitation. To this day, we can see how wise Yan Jiekuang's action was. Yan Bugui often borrowed books from Yan Jiekuang's study. When he saw this book, he asked Yan Jiekuang why he had so many useless books. At that time, Yan Jiekuang did not explain, but just said that he took it casually.

Yan Jiekuang handed a set of books to his father. Yan Bugui took it with a smile on his face, turned around and left with the books.

Ji Lian studies harder now, so Yan Jiekuang took the initiative to take over the job of taking care of the children and providing post-production support. Yan Jiedi now often lives in her third brother's house, where it is more convenient for her to study. Xiaodang and Huaihua have also resumed their previous habit of studying in Yuer Hutong, because their family can no longer take care of them. The Jia family has devoted themselves wholeheartedly to serving Jia Geng and his wife. The atmosphere at home forces Jia Geng to study, whether he is willing or not.

The two little guys always gave Yan Jiekuang surprises every day. By November, the two little guys could stand up. Although they were staggering, they could still walk a few steps, which made Yan Jiekuang very surprised.

The big cat always appears beside the two little guys. The two little guys also know this fat big cat and always say weird things to it. Anyway, Yan Jiekuang can't understand it. Later, they are inseparable from Tiantian.

Yan Jiekuang knew that the big cat was protecting its children, and he felt more and more that the big cat and Tiantian were members of the family. He always prepared delicious food to reward the big cat and Tiantian.

As the days passed, Yang Ruiping brought Yongchang and Yongxin to Yuer Hutong. Ever since the two children could walk, Yan Jiekuang had never been to the courtyard. He stayed at home with the children. Because the weather was cold, Yan Jiekuang didn't want them to catch a cold, so he seldom went out.

Yang Ruiping brought a few small cotton jackets and trousers for his grandson, so he prepared them very carefully. Yan Jiekuang looked at his mother gratefully. Yang Ruiping rolled his eyes and said, "When Ji Lian came a few days ago, I thought of my two chubby grandchildren who had not prepared cotton jackets and trousers. What were you thinking as a father? Just keep them indoors for the whole winter?"

Yan Jiekuang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "The child hasn't been out of the house recently, and the weather isn't particularly cold, so I didn't think about it."

"Okay, go try it on and see if it's suitable," said Yang Ruiping.

Yan Jiekuang and his mother came to the big bed. Yongchang and Yongxin were playing with their two babies, Yongchang brought them building blocks. Yan Jiekuang said to his two babies, "Come and see these cotton-padded clothes made by grandma. See if you like them."

As soon as Big Fatty looked up, he smiled when he saw grandma and called out "Grandma". Little Fatty followed suit. Yang Ruiping was smiling and took the small cotton-padded jacket and trousers and started to try them on the little guy. You know what, they fit perfectly.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Come on, kiss grandma. Look how good she is to you. Now you can go out and play."

Big Fat and Little Fat staggered towards Yang Ruiping on the bed. Yang Ruiping swiftly held one in each hand, Big Fat and Little Fat on each side, and kissed their grandmother. Yang Ruiping laughed out loud.

The two of them accompanied the four children to play in the main house. Yan Jiekuang said, "Why haven't I seen my dad recently? He always came to my place before."

"It's all your fault. Why give him books when there's nothing else to do? He copies books every day and doesn't get enough sleep." Yang Ruiping said.

Yan Jiekuang was a little puzzled. What kind of book did his father copy? Was he going to be a writer and write some memoirs? Yang Ruiping knew his son didn't understand when he saw Yan Jiekuang's expression. He continued, "As for your set of books, he copied them and sold them for 20 yuan per set. There are people begging for them. Your father, you don't know, must be exhausted."

Yan Jiekuang suddenly realized that his father's character had not changed at all. He just wanted to make money again. Yan Jiekuang sighed that his father was really capable. He wondered how many things he could copy at his age.
