Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 198 Three People Fighting
Yang Ruiping returned to the courtyard and went straight to the central courtyard. When he arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, he was about to knock on the door when it was already opened. Li Cuilan happened to come out from inside. When she saw that it was Yang Ruiping, she quickly invited Yang Ruiping in.

Yang Ruiping followed Li Cuilan into the house, sat down, and chatted with her for a while. He asked how Li Cuilan was doing. Li Cuilan said, "I'm fine. There's nothing serious wrong with me. I'm just a little annoyed staying at home all the time."

Yang Ruiping said directly: "It's like this, didn't our third child's wife get admitted to university? She will go to school after the New Year. The third child has her own things to do, so she wants to find someone to take care of her children. You know, I have to take care of the two children at home, so I thought of you?"

Li Cuilan didn't even think about it, she nodded and agreed directly. She still remembered that the third brother had looked for medicine for her everywhere, and she had always wanted to find a chance to repay him, so she agreed without hesitation. At this time, Yi Zhonghai walked in from outside and said, "No, no, you are still sick, how can you be tired? I don't agree."

At this moment, Li Cuilan felt embarrassed and looked at Yang Ruiping in embarrassment. Yang Ruiping thought about it and said, "It's my fault for not thinking it through. I'll find someone else. Sorry for disturbing you." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of Yi Zhonghai's house.

After Yang Ruiping left, Li Cuilan complained, "You said that I'm fine now and can still take care of the children, why are you so opposed to it?"

Yi Zhonghai said seriously: "Our family is not short of the money that the third brother has. We have the time to take care of Jia Geng's children." After saying that, he walked out of the door with an unhappy face and went straight to Jia Dongxu's house.

Although Yang Ruiping didn't say anything at the Yi family, he was also very unhappy with Yi Zhonghai's attitude. He went home sulking. When Yan Bugui came back from outside, he saw Yang Ruiping who was not happy, frowned and asked: "What's wrong, who made you unhappy again?"

"Who else could it be? It could be Yi Zhonghai. He doesn't even give face to his neighbors." Yang Ruiping then told Yan Bugui about the matter.

Yan Bugui sat down, looked at Yang Ruiping and said, "You may not know this, but I made him very angry when I went out. I guess he did it on purpose to piss you off."

Yang Ruiping looked at Yan Bugui with a puzzled look, and Yan Bugui told Yang Ruiping everything.

It turned out to be on the street. The society has been a bit chaotic recently, with a lot of thieves and fights. Although there is a patrol team like Yang Ruiping, they are all old ladies after all. If something really happens, they can't be of much help.

The subdistrict office then thought of the old system of "man in charge", but of course it was impossible to do it the same as before, so they decided to set up a security guard in each compound, mainly to serve as a guard to see if there are similar people in the compound, and also to serve as a propaganda role.

When the police station heard about this idea, they thought it was a good idea and promised to let the security guards be directly under the police station so that communication would be smoother.

The street office began to look for security guards for each courtyard. Other courtyards were easy to deal with. Whoever was the boss would take over as the security guard. After all, the boss had been in charge for so many years and was familiar with his courtyard. But when it came to Courtyard No. 95, it was a bit difficult. There were three bosses, so which one should be the security guard?

Director Yan had just taken office and didn't know anything about the previous events, so he said to call the three people and ask them all to see who was the most suitable.

When Yan Bugui arrived at the neighborhood office, he saw Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were already in Director Yan's office. Director Yan told the three old men about the matter. When the three heard it, they were very enthusiastic, especially Yan Bugui, who was so idle at home that he became sick. He looked at the two people beside him with his eyes rolling.

The three uncles, each of them was very careful. Yi Zhonghai said first: "Director Yan, you may not know that although there were three managers before, they were ranked in order. I am the first manager. You don't need to be so troublesome for this position. I will be the security guard."

Before Director Yan could speak, Liu Haizhong said, "Old Yi, you can't be the one here. You have to go to the steel mill to work every day, and you don't have time during the day. Director Yan, although I was the second-in-command at that time, I think I am the most suitable for this position now."

Director Yan was very happy to see the three active people. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Bugui spoke up, "Director Yan, you probably don't know that before the steward system was abolished, there was only one steward in the courtyard. Didn't Director Wang tell you?"

Director Yan was stunned. He really didn't know. Looking at Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were a little nervous. They were afraid that Yan Bugui would tell them about the past. They finally got a new director, who had a good impression of them. If Yan Bugui told them everything, it would be hard for them. Yi Zhonghai said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes. At that time, only Old Yan was in charge. Look at my head. I am old and forgetful."

Liu Haizhong also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Old Yan is very suitable to be a security guard. After all, his house is in the front yard, and Old Yan was responsible for the gate in the past."

Upon hearing this, Director Yan was also happy. This Yan Bugui was really suitable. He made the decision directly, "Okay, Comrade Yan Bugui, your yard is yours. Tomorrow, you go to the police station to find Deputy Director Gao. He will make arrangements for you both. Just arrive at 8:30."

After the matter was settled, the three of them walked out of the neighborhood office. Yan Bugui was very proud and walked in front with square steps. The other two were very disappointed. They looked at Yan Bugui's back and their teeth were itching with hatred.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Yi Zhonghai spoke to me in a very bad tone. It turns out the root of the problem is you. Oh, forget it. I'll look for someone else." After listening to Yan Bugui's statement, Yang Ruiping suddenly realized what was going on and went to the second brother's house.

Shi Xiaoya was working half a day today and was taking care of her two children at home. When she saw her mother come in, she greeted her happily and asked, "How are the children of the third child?"

"It's pretty good. The third child is good at everything he does and takes good care of the children. I don't have to do anything to help." Yang Ruiping said.

"The third child has been an extraordinary person since he was young. He learns things quickly and does them better than others." Shi Xiaoya said.

Yang Ruiping suddenly thought of finding a nanny again and suddenly sighed.

Shi Xiaoya quickly asked Yang Ruiping what happened. Yang Ruiping told Shi Xiaoya what happened when he came back, and also told her about Yan Bugui. Shi Xiaoya burst out laughing and said, "Why are you worried about this? I'll do it for you. I'm at the street office. I can find a nanny for anything."

When Yang Ruiping heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll let the third brother reward you when you're done. By the way, has the second brother sent me a letter?"

Shi Xiaoya shook her head and said, "Since the last letter, there has been no news. Last time he said he was going to the south for training, I didn't dare to ask. It's okay, mom. There is no war now. The second son should be fine. Don't worry, he will definitely come back when he has time. His wife and children are at home. He must have a real mission."

Yang Ruiping sighed and said, "I hope so. You two are so rarely together and so far apart. It must be hard for you."

Shi Xiaoya looked sad, but she tried to hold it in and said, "It's not bitter, Mom. My second son and I are doing fine. I just miss him a little bit."

Yang Ruiping knew that Shi Xiaoya had a hard time, so he comforted her and said, "Next time you come back, ask your father to try to persuade you to move to a place closer to home. Otherwise, it's not a good idea."

Shi Xiaoya said quickly: "Don't do that, Mom. The second son cares a lot about his military career. Soldiers are supposed to obey orders. Please don't tell anyone."

Yang Ruiping thought about it and stopped talking about it. He chatted with Shi Xiaoya about some family matters and changed the subject.
