Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 453 Classmates Visit
Jia Zhang talked about the Liu family with great excitement, saying that the Liu family was now in a mess, and if Liu Haizhong and his wife had had nowhere else to go, they would have run away long ago.

The second son, Liu Guangtian, was also helpless. On one side was his father, and on the other was his third brother who had always been kind to him. He was in a dilemma and had to persuade both sides.

In fact, it was not Liu Guangfu who was looking for trouble. It was Liu Haizhong who just disliked Liu Guangfu and his wife. Whenever the two met, Liu Haizhong would talk about the things that happened in the past in a sarcastic tone. Liu Guangfu was now living under someone else's roof, and he ignored him at first, but after that happened more and more times, Liu Guangfu didn't say anything, but his wife couldn't stand it anymore and started to curse at Liu Zhonghai. How could Liu Haizhong be a match for a woman, especially a woman in her forties? She would get high blood pressure every time she was scolded.

Yan Jiekuang said: "In fact, Liu Guangfu doesn't have to live there. The reason he is there now is probably to find a way out. After all, this is Nanluoguxiang. He won't starve to death if he sets up a small stall. Uncle Liu still has a hot temper and can't tolerate others."

Yan Bugui also said: "Yes, I have advised him so many times, but it is of no use. I guess he is still angry."

Jia Zhang agreed with Yan Jiekuang's words. It is not the same as the 1960s and 1970s now. Now everyone is working hard to make money.

Yan Jiekuang asked, "By the way, Aunt Jia, last time we had dinner, you said Jia Geng and his wife wanted to resign, but your daughter-in-law disagreed. What happened next?"

"Later, haha, even with Jia Geng's temper, he listened to Qin Huairu and resigned. I heard that he opened an advertising company. In fact, it makes advertising signs for others. I heard it's pretty good." Jia Zhang said.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We should not interfere. We just need to live our own lives. Come on, elder sister, have a drink." Yang Ruiping said.

They drank until after two o'clock before they dispersed. Jia Zhang didn't go home either, but found a guest room in the backyard to take a nap.

Yan Jiekuang also returned to his home. He also wanted to go home and take a nap.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw from afar a man standing at the door of his house, pacing at the door. Yan Jiekuang felt very strange because it was winter and the man was wearing a hat and a scarf. Yan Jiekuang did not recognize who he was.

When he got closer, he saw that it was his old classmate Li Weiguo. Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Long time no see, old classmate, why are you here?"

Li Weiguo greeted him with a smile and said, "I'm off today, and I don't have any relatives here, so I tried to come over to see if you were home."

"What if I don't come back? Wouldn't you have waited in vain?" Yan Jiekuang asked as he opened the door.

"I plan to wait for ten minutes. If you don't come back, I will go back." Li Weiguo said with a smile.

Yan Jiekuang quickly let him into the yard and said, "Come in, it's warm at home."

As Li Weiguo walked into the yard, he looked around and said, "Oh, this is my first time here. Your yard is really well preserved. It looks authentic and well maintained."

Yan Jiekuang took him into the main hall in the front yard and said as he took off his coat, "Please sit anywhere you want. This is your own home. Don't be polite."

Yan Jiekuang then went to pour tea for Li Weiguo, and the two of them sat on the mahogany sofa. Yan Jiekuang took out a cigarette and handed it to him. After they both lit up, Yan Jiekuang asked, "Why are you still alone? Aren't you married yet?"

Li Weiguo said: "No, no, I didn't explain it clearly. My parents didn't allow me to find a wife here. I got married shortly after I graduated. My son is in high school and I have a daughter who is in elementary school."

Yan Jiekuang finally understood and said, "Then go back for the New Year. When do you want me to take you back?"

"No need, I have a companion and we're going together. We plan to leave on the 28th. The main reason is that it's hard to buy tickets, so we can only leave on that day." Li Weiguo said.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Weiguo asked, "How have you been lately? By the way, your children are the celebrities in the school. You have a good way of educating them."

Yan Jiekuang waved his hand and said, "That's the result of their own efforts. I'm still idle at home. I may make some moves next year. The main reason is that some directions are not determined yet."

Li Weiguo said: "You are such a talented person in this field. It's such a shame to give up this field."

Yan Jiekuang smoked a cigarette and said, "It's nothing to regret. I also do my own things, which are also related to my major, but I just treat it as a hobby. By the way, do you have anything else to do this time?"

"How did you know?" Li Weiguo looked at Yan Jiekuang in surprise.

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "You are getting more and more stupid the more you teach me. You came to my house to see me. If you don't have something to say, you can just let Shi Lei and the others pass on the message." Li Weiguo scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Actually, there is nothing to say. There is a class reunion before the New Year. Many people will come. I just want to ask if you want to go?"

Yan Jiekuang didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly. Li Weiguo took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I know you won't go, but Jin Jing and the boss found me and insisted that I come to ask. I told them you wouldn't go, but they didn't believe me and insisted that I come."

Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and said, "Weiguo, thank you for telling me the truth. You should know me. Since that incident, I have no feelings for the school and my classmates. I won't go to the class reunion, but you are always welcome to come here."

Li Weiguo knew that things could only be like this, and he did not try to persuade him. He had always believed that Yan Jiekuang was a man with his own ideas.

The two chatted about some other things and then Li Weiguo left.

After seeing Li Weiguo off, Yan Jiekuang stood in front of the window, looking out, smoking, and thinking about the two people.

After finishing his cigarette, Yan Jiekuang returned to the bedroom in the backyard to take a rest.

When I woke up and looked at the clock, it was already past five o'clock. I thought the children would be back soon, so I washed my face and went to the kitchen to cook.

At this time, in a courtyard in Xicheng District, Zhang Weiqing was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, while Jin Jing was walking around beside him, waiting for Li Weiguo's call.

Zhang Weiqing asked, "Sixth Brother, are you sure that Keda Group is Yan Jiekuang's business? Can he make the company so big? How did he do it?"

Jin Jing said, "Boss, I am sure, absolutely sure, I saw him there, and his wife is the president there."

Zhang Weiqing still frowned and said, "Hasn't he always been in the Institute of Archaeology? When did he become so rich?"

Jin Jing said, "According to our old man, it should be the time when he was with the group visiting Hong Kong Island. For some reason, he was not used that time, so he was allowed to move freely. He should have made some moves with Lou's company during the short half month there."

Zhang Weiqing said jealously: "He is so lucky. He can get rich like this and build such a big company. God is really blind."

Jin Jing also said jealously: "Yes, he now has several buildings and his own businesses. If we don't get a share of it, I will be very unhappy."

Zhang Weiqing frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Sixth Brother, do you think our design company can find him for cooperation?"

Jin Jing glanced at the boss and said, "Then I don't know. I just know that they have a fixed partner and are one of the best design companies in Hong Kong Island."

Zhang Weiqing took a puff of his cigarette and said, "It would be fine if it was someone else, but if it was Yan Jiekuang, it would be really hard to deal with. The last time was a lesson for us. We must not act rashly before we have thought it through."

Jin Jing nodded and said bitterly: "There were too many stupid people working with us last time. A series of mistakes caused us to fail."

At this moment, Li Weiguo called, Jin Jing quickly picked up the phone and said, "Weiguo, how are you?"

Jin Jing listened to Li Weiguo's story on the phone, and his face gradually became embarrassed, but he still said: "Anyway, thank you very much. The boss and I will treat you to a meal another day. OK, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first."

Jin Jing hung up the phone with an embarrassed look on his face. Zhang Weiqing said, "Why are you angry? Isn't this expected? It's okay. We can think of other ways. There's a saying, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain."

Jin Jing's expression improved a little, and he said, "I think it's still a little bit difficult for the two of us to do it. We need to find some help."

Zhang Weiqing said, "It doesn't matter. We will go to Shanghai after the New Year to see the situation first. We have people there too, don't forget it."

When Jin Jing heard this, he was stunned at first, then he smiled and said, "Let's go and have a drink."

The two men stood up, put on their coats, and walked out.
