Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 437: Spring Festival
Xu Damao went home singing a little song. When he got home, he hugged his daughter and kissed her fiercely. Xu's mother was so angry that she beat him and asked, "Why are you so crazy? You mess with girls as soon as you come home."

Xu Wenjun next to him said, "Dad is happy. It's okay. Our little sister can handle Dad's torment."

"See, you are still my son. Son, I'll give you five dollars. Go buy some firecrackers and set them off first. Tomorrow I will take you to buy fireworks and firecrackers, and we will go to Mentougou to set them off." Xu Damao said.

Xu Wenjun happily took the money and went out with his sister.

Guilan came over and said, "Why are you so crazy again? What's the matter? Have you discussed it with the Yan family?"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "We don't have to worry about anything this time. Let's just live our lives. As for them, let them fight each other."

When Xu Wude heard that Yi Zhonghai and the Yan family had broken up, he immediately became interested and pulled Xu Damao into the house and said, "Come on, tell me what happened."

Xu's mother and Guilan also came into the room. Guilan went to make tea for Xu Damao. Xu Damao took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu's father, then lit it and took a puff before telling him what had happened today.

Xu Wude was also extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai could use such a method to get something for nothing and force the Yan family not to hold Xu Delin accountable.

However, Xu Damao analyzed and said, "Xu Delin's case is not that serious. If he had cooperated with Yan Lao San and sued Zhang Er Zhu in court, he could have escaped this disaster. But he chose to betray. It was his betrayal that made Yan Lao San very angry, so the Yan family had to take legal action."

Xu's mother was indifferent to Xu Delin's affairs. She asked, "What about your affairs? Have you told Yan Lao San about it?"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "Now that we've talked it out, the matter between our two families is completely over, and he doesn't care about it anymore."

Xu Wood smiled and said, "It's good to talk about it now. Let's have a good New Year and work hard next year to make our lives prosperous."

In Courtyard No. 95, Yan Jiekuang walked out with Mrs. Wanzhi and went straight to the west wing. The children were making dumplings. A pot was already ready, and everyone was eating around a round table in the backyard.

As they walked, Mrs. Wanzhi looked at the snow falling in the sky and said, "Auspicious snow means a good harvest. This is a good sign."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Yes, I explained everything to everyone when you were away, and handed the company over to Ji Lian completely. You can't accuse me of being selfish this time, can you?"

Mrs. Wanzhi looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "It's not easy to have someone accompany you until old age. Those material things are not worth mentioning. You did the right thing. You have to support your lover."

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "If it weren't for you, I still wouldn't have figured it out. I don't even know that I have such a strong desire for control."

The two men walked into the west wing, and saw big red lanterns hanging high in the yard, door couplets with the word "Fu" pasted everywhere. Bursts of singing and laughter came from the backyard, and the yard was full of a festive atmosphere.

The two of them walked slowly towards the backyard. As soon as they reached the door, Yang Ruiping and Ji Lian stood up to greet them and pushed Yan Jiekuang aside. Yang Ruiping said, "Old sister, you are here. Try the dumplings made by my great-grandson. They are delicious, except that they don't look good."

Yan Leping was always keeping an eye on everything, and at this moment he said, "Grandma, my cooking is much better than Fourth Uncle's. His is all soup."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. It was true. The little fat bun's food fell apart as soon as it was put into the pot. Shi Li was so angry that she chased him with a bamboo stick for a long time, because what was in the pot was hers and the little fat bun's food.

Mrs. Wanzhi sat down at the main seat, and Yan Bugui asked, "Old lady, would you like to have a drink? We still have a bottle of Maotai at home."

Mrs. Wanzhi smiled and said, "Then let's have a glass. Dumplings and wine go well together, the more you drink, the better it tastes, isn't it?" The Yan family and Mrs. Wanzhi ate dumplings and side dishes, drank wine, talked about everything under the sun, and spent the Little New Year in a joyous atmosphere.

At night in the bedroom of Yan Jiekuang and his wife, Ji Lian asked, "Third brother, is what you said today true?"

Yan Jiekuang knew what she was referring to, so he said gently, "Of course it's true. I've been reflecting on what happened in the company over the past two days, and I found that you've paid much more than I have. To put it bluntly, you care more about this Kodak that you've worked so hard to run. I shouldn't be the one behind the scenes and tell you what to do. I should trust you more, so I've decided to let go and fully support any decision you make."

After listening to this, Ji Lian said with tears in her eyes: "Third brother, in fact, I opposed many of your decisions, but I never said it because I know this is your company. I don't want to take it for myself. I just want to use my own advantages and judgment to run this company well. Sometimes I am very anxious about your decisions, but there is nothing I can do."

"I know, I know, sometimes people are not omnipotent, and I am such a lazy person. In fact, the company's development to this point is the result of your and those old employees' efforts. I didn't actually contribute much, so today I officially hand it over to you. I feel relieved to hand it over to you." Yan Jiekuang said.

Ji Lian came over, hugged Yan Jiekuang and said, "Thank you, thank you for your trust. I know it's hard for someone to get into your heart, and I should be one of them because I am your lover."

Yan Jiekuang looked at Ji Lian affectionately and said, "Yes, apart from you, the child, and your family, nothing else matters."

From today on, the two of them opened up their hearts. Yan Jiekuang gave up his desire to control the company, and Ji Lian was able to make great strides in her favorite career without being timid.

As soon as the Spring Festival in 1996 was over, the children went out to play like crazy. For the sake of playing, they did not hesitate to sign many unequal treaties with their mothers just to borrow the company's car.

In addition to the Grand Cherokee that she gave to Shi Lei, her Porsche has been parked in the courtyard of Houhai. However, the children think that the car is too eye-catching and are unwilling to use it, so they pester Ji Lian and insist on borrowing the company's car.

Shi Lei drove to Suzhou after the Chinese New Year. His mind was now full of Xu Jingyi. His family couldn't stop him, so they just let him do what he wanted.

Dapang and several roommates made an appointment to go to Inner Mongolia, because the big brother in their dormitory was from Inner Mongolia and invited them to visit there.

Xiaopang was very mysterious and refused to tell why he borrowed the car. He just said he was going out to play with his classmates. Shi Li rolled her eyes beside him but didn't say anything.

Shi Li borrowed the car because one of her good friends, who was also her classmate, wanted to borrow a car for his brother's wedding. Shi Li wanted to keep a low profile, but she also had to help her good friend, so she borrowed a car and headed straight to Tianjin. Originally, Yan Jiekuang suggested that she drive his own Porsche, which would be more face-saving, but Shi Li refused no matter what.

Xiaohai and Xixi were not happy when they saw that their brothers and sisters were all out, and they kept pestering Yan Jiekuang every day. Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to drive his broken van and take them to Badaling.

Since returning from the Great Wall, the two children never went out again. This trip to the Great Wall was exhausting, but every day they saw Yan Jiekuang with a resentful look in his eyes.

After Mrs. Wanzhi returned home, she accepted Yan Jiekuang's suggestion and went to the street office to find a nanny, but she never found a suitable one. The main reason was that Mrs. Wanzhi's requirements were too high. Yan Jiekuang also mobilized people around him to look for one.

Finally, it was Chen Zhaodi who introduced the mother of a waitress in her restaurant. Her name was Lu Sijie. Not the fourth sister in the family, but her name was Sijie. Her family was from the mountainous area of ​​Sichuan, and she also had a poor background. She did things efficiently and never said a word.

Mrs. Wanzhi chatted with Sister Lu Si for a whole morning and fell in love with this woman. She was a really honest and dutiful housewife who answered all the questions she asked. Mainly, Mrs. Wanzhi was also moved by this woman's miserable experience.

Just like that, when everything was getting better with the arrival of spring, Yan Jiekuang's cafe reopened. However, on the first day of its opening, he welcomed an unexpected person, who was Xu Huizhen.
