Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 483 Return to Sijiu City
After having breakfast in Delingha, Yan Jiekuang continued his journey back home. He looked at the map and headed straight for Xining. This time the journey was very long.

He didn't even go to Qinghai Lake, but just drove on a road that was easy to travel. It was not until nightfall that he finally arrived in Xining. Yan Jiekuang was now eager to return home, just like his mother and father, with nothing else on his mind.

Starting from the next day, they went to Lanzhou, passed Lanzhou, went straight to Yinchuan, and then took the country road to Yulin. When they arrived in Yulin, they did not go to Jijia Kiln, but drove directly to Sijiucheng. After three days and three nights, they arrived at Sijiucheng on April 30th. It was already night when they arrived. Yan Jiekuang thought about it and decided not to go to the city, but went directly to Fangshan.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the office building, Li Dong ran down and saw Yan Jiekuang. He was surprised and said, "Brother, you went to the sun to cool off. Why is it so dark? Did you go to Africa?"

"Stop talking nonsense and clean up the villa for me. I want to live here. Don't you see there are children here?" Yan Jiekuang said unhappily.

"Brother, does your sister-in-law know when the baby was born?" Li Dong asked a little confused.

Yan Jiekuang suddenly got angry and said, "How can you talk like that? I adopted this kid on the road. You're going to get into trouble sooner or later with your mouth."

Li Dong shut up. Only then did he remember that this was the boss. He hurriedly cleaned up the house halfway up the mountain and kindly sent all kinds of food upstairs.

Yan Jiekuang said unhappily, "Li Dong, Li Dong, can you do the job? Why can't you just do it and send it to me? Why do you have to let me do it?"

Li Dong was stunned at first, then he carefully looked at Yan Jiekuang and confirmed that this was his boss, but why did his temper and way of speaking change? He was puzzled.

How could he know that Yan Jiekuang had been reborn and taken a different path.

Yan Jiekuang ignored Li Dong and let Chen Liang carry Nannan in. He went to the kitchen next door and started cooking. The meal was very simple, with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, all home-cooked dishes, nothing special. However, he did not prepare milk for Nannan. Starting today, Yan Jiekuang planned to make some liquid food for her.

Nannan ate with great relish. While eating, she also talked to Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang didn't know whether he understood her or not, but he kept answering her.

The two children were still eating with big mouthfuls. Yan Jiekuang kept telling them to eat slowly, but it was of no use. Although they had been with Yan Jiekuang for nearly a month, they still felt hungry as they did in Shanxi. The two children were so scared of being hungry that they ate like crazy when they saw food.

While eating, Yan Jiekuang was thinking about how to introduce these three children to his family. He was also very worried. He went out without bringing anything with him, and bringing three children back would be a problem that anyone would have to think about.

After dinner, halfway up the mountain, Yan Jiekuang was lying on a recliner smoking a cigarette. Next to him was a baby crib, which used to be Xixi's. It was just right for the girl. Chen Liang and Chen Fang had gone somewhere, and the little Tibetan mastiff was lying at Yan Jiekuang's feet, not going anywhere.

Finally returning to a comfortable life, Yan Jiekuang seemed very satisfied. He entertained his daughter while watching the sunset.

The next day, before Yan Jiekuang left, he said to Li Dong, "I want the house and the mountain it is on. Please tell me the price separately. Ask Wang Xuan to draw up the design. It doesn't have to be too luxurious. Just a villa that can be lived in."

Li Dong stared at Yan Jiekuang with wide eyes, as if he didn't know him. He was a person who never made requests before, and this man's sudden change surprised him, but he agreed anyway.

Yan Jiekuang drove the car directly to Nanluoguxiang. No matter what, the first person who knew about this matter could only be his mother. When the car stopped at the entrance of his alley, many people gathered around, mostly tourists. This kind of car is rare in China, but it's a pity that the owner didn't cherish it, and the car was covered with mud spots.

Yan Jiekuang didn't care about anything else and got out of the car with the child and the little Tibetan mastiff. Chen Liang knew that he was going to see his grandmother. He was covered with things he bought along the way. The little Tibetan mastiff got out of the car without Yan Jiekuang holding him. He looked around, howled at the people who gathered around him, and followed Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang held his daughter, who looked around with wide eyes. Yan Jiekuang felt very complicated. He didn't know how his mother felt when she knew that he had adopted three more children. Did she agree or object? But this matter had to be faced here. The familiar streets and complicated feelings made this alley seem very long.

At this time, the little Tibetan mastiff ran to the front and barked in front of a big gate. Yan Jiekuang felt very magical. That gate was the gate of the west wing. The people inside seemed to have heard the noise, came out, opened the gate, and not far away was Yan Jiekuang holding his daughter, with two dark-skinned children standing on his left and right.

"Third brother, is that you? You're back. Who are these children?" Yang Ruiping's voice came.

Yan Jiekuang was a little at a loss and said, "Mom, it's me. I'm back. Let's go inside and talk. Xiaojin, come in."

The little Tibetan mastiff took great effort to climb over the threshold of the door. Yan Jiekuang brought the children in. Yang Ruiping closed the door tightly and then went to the main room in the backyard with Yan Jiekuang.

After Yan Jiekuang finished explaining the origins of the three little ones, Yang Ruiping was overjoyed. He looked at one, hugged that, and finally hugged Nannan and wouldn't let go. It was not known whether Nannan knew that this was her grandmother or not, but Nannan was also very close to Yang Ruiping.

In the end, Xiao Jin, who was sent back by Da Wang and Xiao Wang, became redundant. Xiao Jin was not discouraged and kept following Yan Jiekuang. Wherever he went, Xiao Jin followed him.

Yan Jiekuang asked Yang Ruiping, "Where's my dad? He doesn't raise fish anymore and goes out every day?"

Yang Ruiping coaxed his daughter and said, "We don't have any fish at home. Your father practices Qigong, and I heard it can help you live longer."

Yan Jiekuang burst out laughing and said, "I've never heard of this. How can qi make you live longer?"

Yang Ruiping said: "He just wants to have fun, otherwise he will be bored. Look, there is nothing planted in the backyard. He says there is everything outside. Our family is not short of money, so it's a waste of effort."

Yan Jiekuang went to make tea himself. Yang Ruiping was chatting with Chen Liang and Chen Fang, so he didn't disturb them and went to the back garden. When he got there, he saw that it was really deserted. His father hadn't taken care of it this year. He didn't plant anything and didn't tidy up the garden. There was just a desolate pavilion.

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and decided, forget it, he would come over to clean up tomorrow. It would not be good to leave it like this. At least he could get some vegetables so he wouldn’t have to buy them outside.

Yan Jiekuang was just thinking about how to help his parents build the vegetable garden when Yang Ruiping came over and said directly that the three children should live here and not go to his place. Firstly, there was not much space at his place, and secondly, there would be fewer family conflicts.

In fact, Yan Jiekuang knew that, in the final analysis, the old couple was lonely and wanted to have someone accompany them, and these three little guys were just right.

Yan Jiekuang looked at Chen Liang and Chen Fang behind him. The two of them smiled and said that they wanted to be with grandma.

Yan Jiekuang agreed, but the little Tibetan mastiff refused to do so and insisted to follow Yan Jiekuang no matter what. Chen Liang and Chen Fang had no choice but to let the three kids stay. Yan Jiekuang drove back to Yuer Hutong with the little Tibetan mastiff.
