Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 327 Zhong Hai Fainted

In May 1986, Ruier led his team to Sijiucheng and stayed at the Sijiucheng Hotel. Yan Jiekuang sent Xiao Liu over mainly as their guide. Also returning with them were Ji Lian and her team members Yang Lifen and Yin Liguo.

At the end of the month, the Lou family moved back to Beijing. Only then did Yan Jiekuang learn that Lou Xiao'e was already married. Her husband was also from Hong Kong Island and was an architect. Yan Jiekuang also contributed to their acquaintance, because the Shenzhen project was contracted by the company where the architect worked. Their acquaintance was also because of the Shenzhen project. At this time, Lou Xiao'e was already two months pregnant.

Starting from June, the Ruier team and the Loujia team joined together and began lengthy cooperation negotiations with relevant departments and wineries in Tongzhou. After a month, Yan Jiekuang offered the winery a condition that the winery could not refuse, which was that Keda Group would introduce French wine production equipment free of charge and donate it to the newly built winery, with a total of three production lines.

However, Fangshan proposed that the land must be auctioned publicly, and Yan Jiekuang and his team agreed after discussing it.

In mid-July, Fangshan's land auction was held in the conference room of Fangshan County Government. In the end, Keda Group won the bid for the allocated industrial land with 6.5 million yuan. This land can only be used for the construction of a winery. In return, the site of the original winery after relocation will belong to Keda Group and be used for commercial purposes.

The subsequent signing of the entire contract went smoothly, and Keda Group officially launched the BJ Commercial Plaza project.

After Yan Jiekuang finished the contract, he was free again. The remaining work was completed by the third-party team and he was no longer required to do anything.

At the end of July, Yan Jiekuang led his six children to the No. 95 Courtyard. As soon as they reached the gate, they heard a commotion in the middle courtyard. His mother was standing at the gate looking into the middle courtyard. Yan Jiekuang went over and asked, "What's going on?"

Yang Ruiping turned around and saw that it was his third child. Just as he was about to speak, his thighs were hugged. The two little ones looked up and called for grandma. Yang Ruiping smiled and squatted down to pick up the two children, but found that he could not pick up the two children. He could only pick up one, so he picked up Xixi and said to Xiaohai apologetically, "Grandma is old and not so strong. I can only hold your sister. But, have you two gained weight?"

Xiao Hai said: "I have grown stronger, and my sister has become fatter."

Xixi pouted and said, "Grandma, don't listen to his nonsense. He is fat because he eats every day."

Yang Ruiping was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He said, "Let's go home. Grandma has a good thing and she's leaving it for you guys."

Yan Jiekuang's eyes were still drifting towards the middle courtyard, and he asked, "Let me watch for a while."

Yang Ruiping kicked him and said, "Go home. What's so good about this? It's Qin Jingru who's causing trouble."

When I got home and listened to my mother's words, I found out what the quarrel in the Intermediate Court was about.

It turned out that Qin Jingru, who returned to the village during the Chinese New Year, told her parents about her divorce. She concealed the fact that she had flirted with Xu Damao. Her parents believed that the divorce was not the fault of one person. Their daughter married Xu Delin, who was married for the second time, at such a young age and ended up with nothing. This was a bit of bullying. All the relatives of the Qin family came and became more and more angry as they talked. They said they would settle the score with Xu Delin.

So, after the spring plowing season, the whole family went straight to the courtyard to settle accounts with Xu Delin. Unfortunately, Xu Delin had disappeared at this time. Qin Jingru's parents said that the original house should be compensated to Qin Jingru, and they wanted to forcibly open the lock that Xu Delin had hung when he left and enter the house.

Yi Zhonghai was not happy with this and said that Xu Delin gave him the house before he left and that he was the owner of the house, so he stopped the Qin family. The Qin family was not a pushover and asked Yi Zhonghai for evidence that the house was his. Yi Zhonghai took out the letter Xu Delin wrote when he left and showed it to Qin's parents.

When Qin's mother saw this, she was so furious that she swallowed the letter. Now there was no evidence, so she demanded that Qin Jingru return the house. When Yi Zhonghai saw this, he almost died of anger. The Qin family started arguing with Yi Zhonghai in the Intermediate Courtyard.

Li Cuilan saw that this was not going to work and the quarrel was endless, so she thought of asking Jia Dongxu and his wife to come over. After all, Qin Huairu was the introducer and knew the whole story. But when she arrived at the Jia family's house, she found that only Jia Zhang was left, and everyone else had left. When she came back and told Yi Zhonghai about it, Yi Zhonghai fainted.

When the Qin family saw that something big had happened, they all ran away. Only Li Cuilan and Liu Haizhong in the backyard were left. The two of them took Yi Zhonghai to the hospital.

When Yan Jiekuang arrived, the quarrel was at its most intense. After being stopped by his mother, he took the children to the west wing, so he did not see what happened at the end.

Yi Zhonghai was lying on the hospital bed. He woke up slowly, looked out the window, and felt unprecedented loneliness. Thinking carefully about the first half of his life, he felt that he had not done anything wrong. Why was he left alone when he was so old? Why did his only hope, his apprentice Jia Dongxu, move away?

Li Cuilan went to the cafeteria to get food. The ward was empty except him, and it looked even more desolate. At this time, there was a knock on the door. When the door opened, He Yuzhu and his wife appeared, carrying a bag of fruits and a bag of canned food.

As soon as He Yuzhu came in, he asked, "What's wrong? Uncle Yi, why are you in the hospital?"

Yi Zhonghai sat up all of a sudden, leaned against the head of the bed, and said with a smile: "It's Zhuzi, I'm fine, I just felt a little dizzy when I was anxious."

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Are you anxious because you saw the Jia family run away?"

He Yumei, who was standing next to him, hit him and said, "How can you talk to Uncle Yi like that? Uncle Yi, this guy is a man of few words, please don't mind it."

He Yuzhu sat down on the stool and said, "Well, my mouth stinks, I won't say anything more."

He Yumei put her things on the stool, sat down beside her, and said, "I don't have anything to do today, so I came to see you. When will you be discharged from the hospital?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. It'll be quieter here. If we go back, there will be more noise."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but said, "You should stay for two more days. Qin Jingru has broken into the house and moved in. I think you don't need to worry about it. Let her live here. The house is not hers anyway. When Delin comes back, she will leave quickly."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was angry at first, but after thinking about what He Yuzhu said, he felt that it made sense and it was unnecessary for him to get involved in this matter.

Yi Zhonghai said: "Zhu Zi, Master Yi wants to ask you for a favor, you have to help me."

He Yuzhu said seriously: "You said, your business is my business."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Please help me find out where my apprentice has moved to."

He Yuzhu laughed when he heard this and said, "Don't ask. Where is Qianmen? If you go to Qianmen and ask any old lady, she will know where Jia Zhang's house is. Jia Zhang is famous for being so arrogant over there."

Yi Zhonghai felt relieved and said, "Okay, I understand."

He Yuzhu said, "If you have time, please persuade Brother Dongxu. Jia Zhang always wears a gold necklace and a gold bracelet and flaunts herself at the front door. Sooner or later, something bad will happen. It's so chaotic outside now."

Yi Zhonghai was hoping that something bad would happen to Jia Zhang, but he said, "Yes, we should persuade her."

The couple chatted with Yi Zhonghai for a while and then said goodbye.

Yi Zhonghai thought about He Yuzhu's words for a while, and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.

In the west wing, the backyard has been well taken care of by Yan Bugui. Flowers are planted where they should be planted, and trees are planted where they should be planted. The glass house is very large, and various vegetables are planted inside. There is also an area specially surrounded by pebbles, where uncommon fruits are planted.

The children were curious and helped in the garden, some watered, some weeded, and some helped Yan Bugui build a fence. Yan Bugui never stopped smiling. Yan Jiekuang looked around and went to the pavilion to drink tea. When Yang Ruiping came with the two children, he glared at Yan Jiekuang fiercely, but Yan Jiekuang didn't care. As soon as the two children entered the garden, they didn't look for their grandmother, but went straight to Shi Li, who was watering the flowers.

Yang Ruiping entered the glass room and wanted to start working. Yan Bugui said, "There is nothing to do. Go and look after the children. Where is the third child? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Yang Ruiping said angrily: "That lazy fellow is drinking tea, smoking and reading newspapers in the pavilion, acting like a big shot."

Yan Bugui said: "The third brother is not a hard worker. He can't help at all. He is worse than the eldest brother."

At this time, Shi Lei's voice came from outside, "Aunt, you are dressed so beautifully today."

The old couple looked at each other and shook their heads. Ever since Yan Jie Di got divorced, she started to love dressing up. She used to think the clothes Yan Jie Kuang brought back from Hong Kong Island looked ostentatious when she was at work and refused to wear them, but after the divorce, she started to wear them without any scruples.

Yan Bugui said: "This is the prelude to attracting bees and butterflies. This old man is a bit ostentatious."

Yang Ruiping sighed and said, "Just flaunt it, now that we have found it, let's check it out carefully."

Yan Bugui raised his head and asked, "I heard a commotion in our courtyard just now. What happened?"

Yang Ruiping told Yan Bugui what happened in the central courtyard of the quadrangle, and Yan Bugui laughed very loudly.

Yang Ruiping asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Yan Bugui said: "This Yi Zhonghai is really not angry with Qin Jingru."

"Huh? If not her, then who else could it be?" Yang Ruiping asked in confusion.

"Who else could it be? The Jia family. Ever since Xu Delin passed away, Yi Zhonghai has placed his retirement support on Jia Dongxu. After all, he was his apprentice." Yan Bugui said as he planted cucumber seedlings.

Yang Ruiping said, "Are you saying that Yi Zhonghai was angry because the Jia family moved?"

Yan Bugui nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, the cooked duck has flown away, aren't you angry?"

Only then did Yang Ruiping understand why Yi Zhonghai had fainted.

Shi Lei ran to Yan Jiekuang and said, "Dad, I think I heard a knock on the front door."

Yan Jiekuang stood up and went to the front yard. He opened the door and saw that it was Liu Haizhong and Chang Cun. Yan Jiekuang was puzzled as to why these two people were here, but he greeted them and let them into the yard. Liu Haizhong asked with a big belly, "Third brother, where is your father?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "He's tidying up the vegetable garden in the backyard. I'll take you there."

As he said that, he led the two people straight to the backyard, and when they reached the garden, he shouted, "Dad, Dad, Uncle Liu and Uncle Chang are looking for you."

Chang Cun said, "Stop shouting, let's go in and take a look."

As they spoke, the two men walked into the glass room. Yan Jiekuang ignored them and went back to the pavilion to continue reading the newspaper. After a while, Yang Ruiping came out and came to the pavilion and said, "Make way. The three of them will come here to drink tea in a while. I'll go and change the pot of tea for them."

"Why are they looking for my dad?" Yan Jiekuang asked as he stood up.

Yang Ruiping gathered up the things on the stone table and said, "Go find your dad and discuss going to see Yi Zhonghai."

Yan Jiekuang didn't know what happened in the Intermediate Court later, so he asked, "What happened to Master Yi?"

Yang Ruiping laughed and said, "He fainted from anger and was sent to the hospital."

Yan Jiekuang looked at his mother in confusion and said, "That's not the case. Is Xu Delin's house that important?"

Yang Ruiping told Yan Jiekuang about the matter again. Yan Jiekuang finally understood the whole story and said to himself, "Too much obsession will hurt your heart and body."

Yang Ruiping hit him and said, "Take the children to the front yard, where they can get some sun in the hot sun."

Yan Jiekuang called the children over, took them out, and headed straight for the supply and marketing cooperative across the street.

When they came back, Yan Jiekuang and Shi Lei were each holding a big watermelon, the fat guy and the little guy behind them were carrying soda and popsicles, and Shi Li was holding a small one in each hand, and they went back to the west wing in a mighty manner.

Yan Jiekuang washed the watermelon, put it in a net bag, and threw it directly into the well in the central courtyard. Then he took the children to sit on the corridor, eating ice cream and listening to Yan Jiekuang telling stories.

After a while, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, Changcun and three others came out from the backyard and hurried out.

Yang Ruiping slowly cleaned up the backyard and walked to the front yard. Seeing the children sitting in a row and listening to Yan Jiekuang telling stories, he came over happily. Shi Lei handed over a bottle of soda and said, "Grandma, you have worked hard. Drink soda. It's still cold."

Yang Ruiping took it, took a sip, and made a comfortable sound. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Mom, what are we having for lunch?"

Yang Ruiping said, "It's so hot, I don't know what to eat. I guess your dad is not home for dinner. He may have taken those old people to your Chunfenglou."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Go ahead. You can't let me eat too much. Let's eat cold noodles with Erba sauce. Can you give me some other side dishes?"

Yang Ruiping didn't say anything. The younger ones kept nodding. Yang Ruiping smiled and said, "Okay, let's have some cold noodles. I'll go to the cellar to get some pickles. Your eldest brother brought back quite a lot of pickles."

Yan Jiekuang said to the children, "Play by yourselves. Don't leave the yard. Daddy will cook for you."

After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen. There is only one thing in the world that should not be wasted: delicious food.
