Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 449: Decision to Enter Tibet
When Da Wang and Xiao Wang saw a car coming, the two dogs smelled Yan Jiekuang's scent and ran out, surrounding the car.

Yan Jiekuang parked the car in a wooden house on the separate grassland of Da Wang and Xiao Wang. As soon as he got out of the car, he heard two strong winds coming. Da Wang and Xiao Wang rushed towards him together, pressed Yan Jiekuang to the ground, and then licked him wildly, which made Yan Jiekuang very angry.

It took a long time for the big king and the small king to let Yan Jiekuang go. Fortunately, Yan Jiekuang was a martial artist, otherwise, most people would not be able to resist.

Yan Jiekuang was not in a hurry to leave. He just took a look at the territories of the big king and the little king. The farm had assigned someone to be in charge of their diet and to feed them some live animals regularly to train their hunting ability. It seemed to be doing well. The dens of the two Tibetan mastiffs were separate, the big king's was halfway up the mountain, and the little king's was a little lower.

The big king seemed to be intentionally showing Yan Jiekuang around, leading the way in front, while the little king followed beside him. Yan Jiekuang said to himself, "Should I take you into XZ once? I don't know how you got here."

The king suddenly ran back, licked Yan Jiekuang's hand and called out. Yan Jiekuang understood that they also wanted to go to the snow mountain. Although this place is also called a mountain, it is just a hill compared to the mountain in XZ.

Yan Jiekuang thought about the possibility of going to Tibet. It was about to enter winter, and it would be very hard to go there. He touched the king's head and said, "I have to prepare and take you home in the spring next year."

Big King and Little King seemed to understand and shouted loudly with joy, scaring the staff at the foot of the mountain so much that they ran out to look up the mountain. They saw a man and two dogs standing in front of Big King's den, looking at the top of the mountain.

Li Dong and his assistant hosted a banquet for Yan Jiekuang. Although it was called a banquet, it was all vegetables and meat from the farm. Not even seafood from the south was served. Yan Jiekuang ate for a while, sighed and said, "Tell me, what's the matter? You obviously don't want to entertain me."

Li Dong smiled and said, "Chairman, we have no land here, and the village has been asking me to return part of their leased land so that they can develop real estate."

Yan Jiekuang said: "I am no longer the chairman. I have signed the equity transfer agreement. The current chairman is Ms. Ji Lian. But tell me, what is going on?"

Li Dong hesitated for a long time and said, "I want to move, and split it into two."

Yan Jiekuang looked at Li Dong in confusion and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"

Li Dong sighed and said, "I am forced to do this. You can see here that sooner or later we will have to return the land. It is better for us to plan and withdraw first. I plan to divide it into two and build two bases. One is a vegetable base. I plan to choose a site in Shandong. I have already investigated and it is very suitable and there are large tracts of land there. The other is a livestock base. I plan to find a place in Inner Mongolia to build it. After all, there are abundant grasslands there, which is suitable for the growth of cattle, sheep and other animals. What do you think?"

Yan Jiekuang lit a cigarette, and after he finished smoking, he said, "Not bad, that's a good idea. You write a detailed report, especially on the base design, and then hand it directly to the chairman. I will communicate with her."

Li Dong finally put his mind at ease. Actually, he didn't want to move, but the trend was irresistible and he had no choice.

Yan Jiekuang asked Li Dong to find someone to drive back. When Yan Jiekuang returned home, it was already evening, but no one was home. Yan Jiekuang opened the door himself and went to wash up.

During breakfast the next day, Yan Jiekuang told Ji Lian about Li Dong's suggestion. He said that he agreed with it, but the final decision would depend on Ji Lian's own ideas. Ji Lian said that he understood it and would look at the evaluation report when the time came.

Then Yan Jiekuang mentioned that he would take the king and the little king to Tibet in the early spring of next year. Suddenly, the table fell silent. Ji Lian asked with some doubt: "Can you go now? How dangerous it will be for you?"

Shi Lei and Xiao Pang were both excited and wanted to go, but Ji Lian got angry and said, "You are not allowed to go. Do you know what's going on over there? It's a plateau and there's no one living there. How can you go there?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "It's okay, I'll drive there myself. Besides, we have Da Wang and Xiao Wang, so the kids don't have to get involved, you still have to go to school. Da Wang and Xiao Wang have to go home anyway, don't worry, I'll go by myself, it's okay."

The children were disappointed, Ji Lian was helpless, and once Yan Jiekuang was determined to do something, no one could stop him even with eight horses.

When the family members were going to school and work, Yan Jiekuang called Qiao En and said that he needed an off-road vehicle, which should be large and have good performance. Qiao En asked him when he wanted it, and Yan Jiekuang said it would be best to land in December, and Qiao En said that was no problem.

After Yan Jiekuang finished these things, he went to his parents' house carrying the vegetables and seafood he brought back yesterday.

When they arrived at the west wing, Yan Bugui and his wife were sitting at the entrance of the teahouse. Jia Zhangshi and Widow Wang were also there. Jia Zhangshi was sharp-eyed and saw what Yan Jiekuang was holding at a glance. She shouted, "Third brother, remember, I'll go to eat lunch too."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and nodded, then carried the thing into the west wing. Yan Bugui did not move, but Yang Ruiping stood up and went back to the west wing.

Yan Jiekuang put the things in the kitchen, and seeing that it was still early, he went back to the stone table in the front yard, sat down, and lit a cigarette. After a while, Yang Ruiping came out from the backyard with a teacup, put it in front of Yan Jiekuang, and then sat down.

Yang Ruiping kept staring at Yan Jiekuang, which made Yan Jiekuang feel uneasy. He asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yang Ruiping said, "Don't you know? You were very popular yesterday. The whole Nanluoguxiang was full of rumors about you. They said you drove a luxury car around the city." Yan Jiekuang was stunned. How could this spread so quickly? Who spread it? He quickly said, "Xixi insisted on going to find Shi Lei yesterday. I didn't have a car, so I could only drive that one. How come the whole world knows about it?"

Yang Ruiping said: "There is only one car in the whole city, and it is such a dazzling color, how could it not spread quickly? Fortunately, few people know you, otherwise they would have come to me."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've hidden the car and I won't be driving it for a while."

Yang Ruiping said: "After all, we are ordinary people. It's better to keep a low profile. Please stop making trouble."

"Mom, I get it. After a while, you won't be able to see me making trouble anymore." Yan Jiekuang said.

Yang Ruiping was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, you want to go on a long journey?"

Yan Jiekuang took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, Mom. I will take Da Wang and Xiao Wang to XZ in the spring."

Yang Ruiping sat there blankly, staring at Yan Jiekuang for a long time before he said, "Why did you go there? Just for Da Wang and Xiao Wang."

Yan Jiekuang nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes and no. First, it is the homeland of the great king and the little king. They have to go back once. Second, I also want to go and see that legendary pure land."

Yang Ruiping was silent. She opposed Yan Jiekuang's hasty decision from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't want to interfere with his freedom, so she sighed and said, "Let's talk about it when the time comes. Maybe you will change your mind in a few days."

When it was almost noon, Yan Jiekuang went to cook. He had picked up several kinds of seafood today, and Yan Jiekuang cooked them all at once, including steamed flying crabs, stir-fried clams with spicy sauce, steamed scallops with minced garlic, blanched prawns, and some green vegetables.

Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang came together. Jia Zhang looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Here they are again."

Yan Bugui went to get the wine. After Yan Jiekuang served the dishes, he sat down with Yang Ruiping. Yan Jiekuang said, "These seafood just arrived yesterday. You can try them."

Yan Bugui came over and said, "This seafood must be paired with white wine."

Jia Zhang held the cup and said, "Hurry up and pour it first."

Several people ate and drank, Yang Ruiping rarely said a word, Jia Zhang saw something was wrong at a glance and asked: "Sister, what's wrong, weren't you fine just now, why are you unhappy now?"

Yan Bugui also noticed it at this time, and stared at Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang quickly said: "It's nothing, my mother is worried about me. I plan to go to XZ after the New Year, and my mother is worried."

Yan Bugui was stunned and asked, "Why are you going there? The city can no longer accommodate you."

Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to explain the reason again. Jia Zhang said, "What's the big deal? Men should be ambitious and go out while they are still young. People like you and me can only stay in this city."

When Yan Bugui and his wife heard this, they really felt that what Jia Zhang said made sense, but they were still worried. Yan Jiekuang said, "Mom and Dad, you don't know my abilities yet. Besides, I've always had good luck. Don't worry. Come, let's eat."

Jia Zhang's eyes turned and she said, "Do you know that Li Cuilan is back and brought back Xu Delin's wife and children?"

Yan Bugui became interested when he heard this and asked, "Really?"

Jia Zhang ate a clam and said, "My son was called over for a welcoming banquet, but Qin Huairu wasn't even invited. She was so angry that she came to me to complain."

Yang Ruiping also became interested and asked, "Are they going to target your Dongxu again?"

Jia Zhang took a sip of wine and said, "They are just daydreaming. I have a firm grasp on my son."

Yan Bugui and his wife burst out laughing. Yan Jiekuang looked at Jia Zhangshi with gratitude, and Jia Zhangshi gave him a look, meaning that she could rest assured with him around.
