Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 273 Return to Sanyuan Village
After the vehicle was registered and photos were taken, Yan Jiekuang sent the Crown to the house in the Summer Palace, because two garages were specially built when the house was first built, and the van was parked at Yan's Restaurant. When Wang Qing learned that the new car had arrived, he even left the store and ran to Yan's Restaurant, and then started to arrange to learn how to drive.

A few days later, Wang Qing became Yin Limin's apprentice. Not to mention, within a month, Wang Qing was running a very good business. When he was free, he also took on the purchasing tasks of the two restaurants. Of course, there was also Qi Li, who was now the main person in charge of this aspect.

In January, the family members frequently went to Yuer Hutong. Yan Bugui said that he was going to the countryside to purchase goods and asked Yan Jiekuang to drive the car; Yan Jiedi said that he was going out for an outing with classmates and asked Yan Jiekuang to drive the car; Yan Jiecheng said that he was going to the train station to pick up goods and asked Yan Jiekuang to drive the car. This made Yan Jiekuang very annoyed. Finally, Yan Jiekuang returned home and made a rule that if he needed a car, he had to find his own driver. He and Wang Qing were both busy, so when a restaurant needed a car, he would not lend it to anyone. Only then did the family quiet down.

Yan Jiekuang finally didn't have to worry about the car. One day, Yang Ruiping came to Yuer Hutong to see the children. Yan Jiekuang himself had nothing to do, so he asked Yang Ruiping if he wanted to take the children to visit their grandmother and come back the next day, since the children were on holiday anyway.

Yang Ruiping was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was also a little worried and asked, "Then the restaurant doesn't need a car?"

Yan Jiekuang said mysteriously: "Wait at home, I will be back soon."

Yan Jiekuang went out in a hurry. Although Yang Ruiping was a little confused, he still waited at home and packed up the children's things. When the children heard that they were going to their great-grandmother's house, they were very curious because they had never been there once.

Yan Jiekuang went to the Summer Palace, drove the Crown out, parked it directly at the intersection of Yuer Hutong, and then went back to call for help.

Yang Ruiping and Yan Jiekuang walked out of the alley with the children. Yang Ruiping saw the high-end car at a glance and asked in surprise: "Is this car yours too?"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "Yes, it was transported here with the van. I just rarely use it. Come on, Mom, get in the car."

The children were also very excited to see the car. Yan Jiekuang asked his mother to sit in the front seat and the children to sit in the back seat. After the children got in the car, Yan Jiekuang closed the door, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight to their grandmother's house.

Yan Jiekuang had just left when Yan Bugui came over. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Aunt Wang where they had all gone and why were they not at home?

Aunt Wang had no idea that the Yan family didn't know that Yan Jiekuang had a car, so she said, "The elder sister and Jiekuang drove away with the children, saying they were going to grandma's house."

"Ah, I have an urgent matter today and I need to use the car. Why did they leave?" Yan Bugui said anxiously.

It turned out that the Chinese New Year was approaching and there was a shortage of meat. Today, Yan Bugui heard a letter saying that someone from Daxing had brought a batch of sheep over, so he wanted to hurry and get some in to avoid being caught off guard during the Chinese New Year, so he came to find Yan Jiekuang.

Aunt Wang said, "Brother, if you need a car, go to Chaofengzhai to find Wang Qing."

"The car has left, what's the point of me looking for him?" Yan Bugui said frustratedly.

"Oh, I didn't explain it clearly. Yan Jiekuang drove away in his own car. The van should still be in the store." Aunt Wang said.

Yan Bugui was shocked and said, "This guy has a car? How come I didn't know that?"

Aunt Wang said, "Yan Jiekuang is very low-key. He rarely uses that car and has always kept it there."

Yan Bugui became furious, but there was nothing he could do. He said hello to Aunt Wang and went straight to Chaofengzhai to find Wang Qing.

On this side, Yan Jiekuang took his mother and children, walking and stopping, buying some things on the way, mainly meat and white wine, and also some snacks. Yang Ruiping specially went to buy some cloth.

The children ate snacks and looked around, everything looked new to them. After shopping, Yan Jiekuang did not stop the car and went straight to his grandmother's house. At about noon, Yan Jiekuang entered Yangjia Village. The villagers had never seen a car before, and they gathered around to see it. Yan Jiekuang moved slowly and honked the horn, but it didn't work at all. Yang Ruiping was a little impatient and said, "Stop the car, I'll go down and tell them."

Yan Jiekuang stopped the car, and as soon as Yang Ruiping got out, the villagers recognized her. Wasn't this Yang Yiqing's daughter? Yang Ruiping shouted, "Grandpas, aunts, brothers and sisters, can you let me drive the car to my house first, and you guys take your time to look around?"

When everyone heard this, they quickly made way for him. At this time, Yang Ruijun and Yang Dongnan, father and son, also recognized Yang Ruiping and quickly came up to greet him. Yang Ruiping said, "Okay, let's go home first. How long will this car take to drive?"

Yang Ruijun and Yang Dongnan asked the villagers to make way before the car drove towards their door. As soon as it arrived at the door, Yan Jiekuang stopped the car and asked the children to get out. Yang Ruiping ignored the children and went into the house first. As soon as he entered the yard, he called for his mother.

Old Mrs. Huo came out of the room and looked at the scene. Her eyes were moist. She said, "Did you come back to see your mother, you little girl?"

Yang Ruiping hugged Mrs. Huo and started crying. Yang Yiqing also came out at this time. When he saw that it was his daughter, he said, "They said it was cold outside."

Yang Ruiping said quickly: "Wait a minute, ask my eldest brother to come out and get the things. My third brother and your grandchildren are here too, except for the eldest brother."

When Mrs. Huo heard this, she walked out quickly. Before she even left the house, she saw Yan Jiekuang holding a chicken in each hand, followed by a row of children. Mrs. Huo and Yang Yiqing smiled instantly. Yan Jiekuang walked up and said, "Grandpa, grandma, you are in good health. I brought the children to see you."

Then he turned to the children and said, "This is your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, hurry up and call for help."

The six children shouted in unison: "Hello, great-grandfather, hello, great-grandmother."

Yang Yiqing smiled with wrinkles all over his face and said, "Okay, all is well, hurry inside, it's cold outside, Rui'an, Rui'an, hurry out and help Jie Kuang get his things."

Yang Yiqing and Mrs. Huo didn't care about anything and took the children to the house. Yang Ruiping introduced the children to the two old people as they walked. Yang Ruian came out wearing a cotton-padded jacket. When he saw Yan Jiekuang, he rushed over, picked him up and said, "Have you forgotten us? How many years have you not been here?"

Yan Jiekuang quickly said, "How can that be? They are here now." As the two were talking, Yang Ruijun and his wife came back with Yang Dongnan. Yan Jiekuang quickly took them to move things. While moving, Yang Ruian complained to Yan Jiekuang for buying so many things again.

"No, this has nothing to do with me. You have to go find my mother." Yan Jiekuang said.

Yang Ruijun said: "Move quickly, I still have to go see my nephew."

Yang Ruian looked at Yan Jiekuang in surprise and said, "You're back with the kids. Hurry up. This car is so beautiful. Take me for a ride tomorrow."

Several people moved all the things to the old couple's living room. When Yan Jiekuang came in, he saw the children sitting around a small kang table. The grandmother was holding one child in each hand, and the grandfather was busy putting the dried goods from the mountain on the kang table.

Yan Jiekuang's two uncles came over directly, but Yan Jiekuang didn't care and pulled Dongnan out to smoke. Yan Jiekuang asked him where Xiaohu and Lele were.

Dongnan said, "Xiaohu went to the commune and became the team leader. He is married and has a child, who is five years old this year. His name is Huzi. Lele went to the township and works as an accountant there. He is also married, but has no children yet."

The two chatted while smoking. Yan Jiekuang asked Dongnan again, "What about you?"

Yang Dongnan said: "I plan to take over my father's job and become the leader of the production team here. Although life is better now, I still need to make the villagers rich. My father is always focused on ensuring grain production, and I can't communicate with him."

Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and said, "We are all afraid of starvation. It's okay. I support you. I'll give you something when you leave. When you're done, let alone getting rich, every family will have a small Western-style house. Then you can go to Shijia Village with me. I helped develop the vegetable industry there."

Yang Dongnan was very surprised and thanked him immediately. Yan Jiekuang said, "You are not married yet, you are about the same as me, right?"

"Bah, I'm two years older than you, you have to call me brother. Didn't I delay it? There was one before, and they were about to get married, but she just married someone in the city. I've recently started dating someone, a pretty good guy, and we plan to get married after the New Year." Yang Dongnan said.

Yan Jiekuang joked, "I didn't expect that my brother is so emotional and loyal." Yang Dongnan was so angry that he slapped him.

The two of them had just finished smoking a cigarette when they heard Yang Ruiping shouting, "Jie Kuang, hurry up and come over to cook some specialties for your grandparents."

Yan Jiekuang stood up and was about to walk into the house when Yang Dongnan stopped him and said, "Lend me your car for a drive."

"Can you drive?" Yan Jiekuang asked.

"Who are you looking down on? I drove for the village chief for two years and only came back later." Yang Dongnan said with a roll of his eyes.

Yan Jiekuang handed him the car keys and said, "Watch out for the oil. If you run out, there's still one in the trunk."

Yang Dongnan took the key and walked away happily, saying "I understand" as he walked.

Yan Jiekuang entered the house and counted the number of people. Well, there were quite a lot of people. Yan Jiekuang went straight into the kitchen. Looking at the two big pots, he felt very happy. The dishes cooked with wood stove had a different flavor.

Yan Jiekuang started to light a fire and cook. His aunt wanted to come to help, but Yang Ruiping stopped her and said, "He can do it all by himself. You don't know that when he opened his restaurant, he cooked more than ten tables of food by himself, a banquet with 49 dishes."

Mrs. Huo asked, "The mistress opened a restaurant? Should we get out of the way now?"

Yang Ruiping said, "Get out of the way. It's called self-employment. He has opened two restaurants."

Yang Yiqing's family was very surprised, because the village was still practicing the communal pot system and the centimeter system. The only thing they could do was to go to the city to buy some mountain products, which was not allowed before, but is now allowed. However, they really didn't know what individual business was.

When Yan Jiekuang prepared all the ingredients and started to cook the stew, a car horn was heard outside. Yang Ruiping was startled. His third child was in the kitchen, so who was driving the train outside?

Yang Ruiping ran to the kitchen and asked Yan Jiekuang, "Did someone touch your car?"

Yan Jiekuang didn't even turn his head and said, "Don't worry, Dongnan, I used to be a driver too."

Yang Ruiping was relieved. As soon as he left the kitchen, he heard a voice saying, "Hello, auntie. You are here." "Hello, auntie!"

Yan Jiekuang didn't even need to leave the house to know that Dongnan had gone to pick up Xiaohu and Lele. Yan Jiekuang shouted in the kitchen: "Xiaohu, Lele, stop talking nonsense, come and serve the dishes quickly."
