Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 375 The Three Elders Separate
The Asian Games are over and Yan Jiekuang has returned to work as usual, but now Yan Jiekuang has to pick up and drop off the children himself. He first drops off Dapang, Xiaopang and Shi Li, then drops off Xiaohai and Xixi, and then goes to work. In this way, Yan Jiekuang can only drive to and from get off work.

Old Liu knew that Yan Jiekuang had a car, and now that private vehicle registration was allowed, Yan Jiekuang also went through the relevant procedures again. He also called Lou Xiao'e and asked for an off-road vehicle. Lou Xiao'e suggested that he buy a Grand Cherokee, and Yan Jiekuang agreed.

In the golden autumn of October, Yan Jiekuang took the children to Xiangshan, and Ji Lian also went with them. She deliberately put down her work to spend time with the children that weekend.

Looking at the red leaves all over the mountain, the children were very excited. They didn’t stop at the foot of the mountain but started climbing directly. There were quite a few people climbing the mountain this weekend.

Yan Jiekuang and Ji Lian followed behind the children. Ji Lian talked about work and Yan Jiekuang gave his suggestions from time to time. The two chatted while watching the children. They took the north route and the children walked a little faster. Ji Lian was worried that the children would be tired.

About forty minutes later, they boarded the platform and stayed there for a long time, mainly to enjoy the scenery. Yan Jiekuang also took a lot of photos with his camera, of course also of his children and wife.

At the end, I found a passerby who was also climbing the mountain and asked him to help take two family photos.

After visiting Xiangshan, the whole family drove to Bianyifang. Xiaohai and Xixi were very enthusiastic about eating Peking duck. They almost helped Yan Jiekuang drive, which made Ji Lian laugh so much that she said that this youngest of her children was the greediest.

They went to Bianyifang, and luckily there was still a seat available, a semi-private room. Yan Jiekuang ordered four ducks, a few stir-fried dishes and soda.

When the family was enjoying their meal, a man came in with a child and sat down next to Yan Jiekuang without any courtesy.

Yan Jiekuang saw him when he came in, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi, are you following me for no reason? I can see you whenever I go to the restaurant. By the way, why do you always bring He Rui with you?"

"Haha, this is our fate." He Yuzhu said.

Yan Jiekuang gave Ji Lian a look, and Ji Lian went out and ordered another duck.

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Why are you and your daughter the only ones out today?"

He Yuzhu rolled one for himself and said as he ate it, "Don't mention it. When I asked to eat duck, only my daughter agreed. They all thought I was wasting money. I have to go out to eat at a restaurant at home. Do you think the taste will be the same?"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Anyway, I can't make this duck. So what is He Xiao doing?"

He Yuzhu said, "I was originally helping out in the store, but when I heard that Yongqing was about to have a baby, his mother sent him back home, saying that he could go back to work when his daughter-in-law got pregnant."

Yan Jiekuang and his wife laughed loudly. Ji Lian said, "You don't know, my parents have moved to Yan Yongqing's place now. Even Yu Li can't help now. There are a lot of people waiting on her."

He Yuzhu looked at the children and said, "I regret it now. I should have had more children. Two is still too few."

In this way, He Yuzhu and his daughter had lunch with Yan Jiekuang's family, and then they parted ways after the meal. Ji Lian suggested that everyone go for a stroll in Prince Gong's Mansion, and she could also go to the office by the way.

The whole family agreed. Yan Jiekuang had never been to Prince Gong's Mansion, so he became interested. When they arrived at Ji Lian's large courtyard, Yan Jiekuang parked the car in the yard and strolled towards Prince Gong's Mansion with the children.

The tickets were quite cheap, two yuan for adults and one yuan for children. Yan Jiekuang bought the tickets and took the children in, telling them the history of this splendid palace as they walked.

Yan Jiekuang took the children to stroll around the Prince Gong Mansion, but the backyard was still under renovation and part of the courtyard had not been vacated or repaired, so they walked around for an hour and came out. Yan Jiekuang thought about it and took the children to the company.

I took the children to Ji Lian's office. Ji Lian was busy. I looked up and said, "You came out so soon?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Half of the place has not been repaired or opened yet, so there is nothing to see. I came here to say hello to you, and we will go back first."

Ji Lian said, "Okay, I still have to be busy for a while, you guys go back first."

The children said goodbye to their mothers one after another, and Yan Jiekuang took the children back to Yuer Hutong. When they got home, Tian Guixiang opened the door and said, "Your father came this morning and sat for a while, but left when he saw that you didn't come back."

"Didn't you say anything?" Yan Jiekuang asked.

Tian Guixiang shook her head and said, "No, I didn't ask."

Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and said, "I'll get some things and go check on my eldest brother. Let's leave the kids at home."

Tian Guixiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, if you don't come back, I will cook dinner at night."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and did not take anything from home. He took the foreign exchange coupons and some US dollars and RMB, drove to the Friendship Store, bought two cans of imported milk powder and some cakes, and then went to the market to buy some bananas and oranges, and drove straight to his eldest brother's house.

Yan Jiecheng's home was in a newly built residential complex. Fortunately, it was a commercial building, not a tube-shaped building. Yan Jiecheng directly bought two units, both on the second floor of unit three. Yan Jiekuang only came once when he moved, and at that time he gave a color TV to his eldest brother.

Yan Jiekuang parked the car and went to Yan Yongqing's home with his things. He knocked on the door and it was his mother who opened it.

Yang Ruiping looked at Yan Jiekuang who was carrying something and said, "Speaking of the devil, your father and I were just talking about you." Then he took the thing from Yan Jiekuang's left hand. Yan Jiekuang took off his shoes and walked in, smiling and said, "I heard that my father was looking for me, so I hurried over and came to see my niece-in-law."

Yan Bugui and Yan Yongqing's father-in-law were drinking tea in the living room. Yan Yongqing was not at home, and his wife was resting in the bedroom.

Yan Jiekuang put his things on the high and low cabinets next to him, found a seat and sat down, and asked, "How is it, how many days are left?"

Yang Ruiping said, "About ten days. Send her to the hospital in a few days. Don't let her get lost."

Yan Jiekuang nodded, turned around and asked Yan Bugui, "Dad, are you looking for me?"

Yan Bugui said, "It's nothing serious. I want to move back home, and I want you to find a few people to move my things back to me."

Yan Jiekuang looked at his father in confusion and said, "What's wrong? Did you have a conflict with those two old men?"

Yan Bugui said, "No, it's possible that Old Liu has also moved back. I heard that Liu Guangtian bought a courtyard house in Cuihua Hutong and wanted to take them over to help look after the children. As for Yi Zhonghai, he would go to his nephew's house with his wife whenever he had nothing to do, so we hardly ever see him."

Yan Jiekuang suddenly realized that his parents were no longer important over there, and if he continued to live there, he would be alone. He said, "Okay, I'll send a few cars to pick you up when you decide. By the way, the west wing has been cleaned up, so you can move in when you come back."

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. The sooner the better. Otherwise, we'll be busy in two days."

Yan Jiekuang agreed, looked at the time and said, "Then I'll go back first, the children are all at home."

Yan Yongqing's father-in-law said, "Eat your meal first before leaving. It's almost time for dinner."

"No, brother, I'm leaving first. There are a lot of children waiting for me at home." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang stood up, said goodbye to his mother and left.

When Yan Jiekuang returned home, the children had just arrived at the restaurant. Tian Guixiang was serving dishes to the table, and Shi Lei was helping.

Yan Jiekuang washed his hands and came over to help. Now only Yan Jiekuang could surpass Tian Guixiang in cooking skills, so there would be no problem for her to become a chef.

While eating, Shi Lei said, "Dad, our school has organized a lot of interest classes. I want to join the football team and the history group. What do you think is okay?"

"What's wrong with that? You have no problem with studying. It will broaden your horizons and exercise your body. That's great," Yan Jiekuang said.

Shi Lei nodded and continued, "Then sometimes I won't be back on Sundays, maybe because I have some activities."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Then bring more money, just in case." Shi Lei nodded.

Da Pang said at this time: "Dad, I also want to join the football team. Can you talk to our class teacher?"

"Huh? Why? The teacher doesn't allow you to participate?" Yan Jiekuang asked.

Fatty gloated and said, "Their class teacher puts academics first, and nothing else matters, so no one in their class joins extracurricular groups, let alone the football team."

Big Fatty nodded dejectedly and said, "Yes, that's an old stubborn man."

Yan Jiekuang was amused and said, "Don't say that about your class teacher. He is doing this for your own good. I have something to do tomorrow. I will go to your school the day after tomorrow to take a look."

The family chatted while eating. After the meal, the children went about their own business, while Yan Jiekuang went to accompany the big cat. The big cat now did not move at all, and it was the same every day. It rarely moved, just lying there.

The big cat's whiskers were all white, but it seemed to know why Yan Jiekuang accompanied it every day, because he was worried about its health. So whenever Yan Jiekuang came over, it would walk around for Yan Jiekuang to see, meaning that it was in good health and he didn't need to worry about it.

But Yan Jiekuang still likes to look at it and stroke it when he has nothing to do.

After a while, Yan Jiekuang went back to his study and called the driver team. What a coincidence, it was Xiao Zhang who was on duty. Xiao Zhang received the task of moving to Fangshan tomorrow.

The next day, Xiao Zhang took Yan Bugui to Fangshan with two cars and several security guards. In just one morning, Yan Bugui emptied the house and gave the key directly to Li Dong.

Yan Bugui and his wife officially moved back to the courtyard house, and the three elders also parted ways, but Yan Bugui was quite satisfied with the life in Fangshan. It's just that people can't live a lonely life when they are old, especially Yan Bugui. He always wants to find something to do when he has nothing to do. How can he be idle all day?

Yan Jiekuang is also thinking about this now, how to make his parents less tired and give them something to do, otherwise Yan Bugui will definitely come to him again.
