Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 512: The solution to disturb the father
The autumn heat in August is still wreaking havoc on the city, and there are fewer people on the streets. Perhaps no one wants to suffer under the scorching sun. However, the shade of trees in autumn is still a good place for the elderly. They always drink tea, enjoy the cool air and chat under the trees.

Yan Jiekuang doesn't like to go out now, so he just stays at home with Liangzi and the others. When he has nothing to do, he finds a new nest for Da Wang and Xiao Wang in the garden in the backyard, renovates it and prepares to use it with Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin seems to know that Yan Jiekuang is building a small home for him, so he lies obediently beside them and watches them, while Liangzi runs around and follows them to busy themselves.

Fangfang was also helping, but Yan Jiekuang wouldn't let her move. She was still young, and they were all nailing, hammering, and working on the boards, so he was afraid she might get hurt, so he asked her to watch from the side. Fangfang watched for a while and then stopped, going to tidy up her own little garden.

The An siblings followed the advice of the Yan father and son. Yan Jiekuang made a special phone call to An Ran. He planned to turn this charity fund into a social welfare fund, no longer affiliated with Kodak Group, and An Ran would be the person in charge directly.

An Ran originally disagreed. This stall was set up by Yan Jiekuang and Yan Bugui, so how could it belong to him now? But after Yan Jiekuang patiently explained, he told An Ran that if this Hope Primary School wanted to continue for a long time, it still needed the support of society. Turning this fund into a social charity fund would be a long-term success and a responsible approach to the donors.

After careful consideration, An Ran agreed to the suggestion of the Yan father and son. Ji Lian also cut off the relevant procedures in a timely manner. In this way, the Yan family and Kodak Company had no connection with this charity fund anymore.

On the other side, Yan Jiekuang didn't care about Guan Shubing's visit. He just told him the news he had heard from Qiao En. Yan Jiekuang also told him that he knew nothing about finance and couldn't help much. In fact, Guan Shubing had done his homework before visiting him and found out everything about Yan Jiekuang from childhood to adulthood. So when Yan Jiekuang said that he didn't understand finance, he was not surprised at all.

But he still attached great importance to the information he heard from Jon. One of the pieces of information was that the financial giant had plans to impact the Hong Kong financial market. This piece of information alone was worth a fortune.

After Yan Jiekuang finished working on Xiao Jin's nest, he stretched and stood up. Liangzi was teasing Xiao Jin beside him and kept asking him if the home he made for him was beautiful. Xiao Jin cried a few times, but couldn't stand Liangzi's endless questioning, so he stopped crying and just lay down in his new home, closed his eyes, and ignored Liangzi.

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Liangzi, you are tired of Xiaojin's questions. Let's go and prepare dinner. Oh, go get some ice cream for your sister. It's so hot today, why don't you think about it?"

Liangzi ran to the front yard. In fact, Yan Jiekuang knew that Liangzi was not like his sister. Fangfang had already regarded this place as her own home, and Yan Jiekuang and Ji Lian as her own parents, so she thought everything they took was justified. This made everyone comfortable. But Liangzi was not like that. No matter what it was, he would never move unless you said something. No matter what it was, Yan Jiekuang was a little worried, thinking about how to persuade this child.

Yan Jiekuang walked to the front yard, and Liangzi brought him an ice cream first. The little man ice cream was quite delicious, so Yan Jiekuang bought a lot. There were many children at home, so Yan Jiekuang took it. Liangzi took the two ice creams and went to the backyard. Yan Jiekuang was eating when the doorbell rang. Yan Jiekuang was also wondering, who would come in this hot weather?

When he opened the door, he saw his father standing at the door angrily. Yan Jiekuang said, "Dad, why are you here? Who has offended you? Come in quickly. It's so hot today, and you're still running around."

As Yan Bugui walked in, he said, "Who else could it be? Your elder brother. I think he has given up and has nothing to do all day. He always causes trouble for me. Bring me an ice cream and I will calm down."

Yan Jiekuang closed the door and went to get ice cream for his father. When he came out of the west wing, his father was nowhere to be seen. He thought he must have gone to the backyard, so he went there with the ice cream. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw his father talking to Fangfang.

Yan Jiekuang walked over and said, "Dad, here you are, where is my mom?"

"Your mother is so smart. As soon as your eldest brother arrived, she pushed her daughter to Jia Zhang's house, saying that she was going to visit." Yan Bugui said as he opened the ice cream bag.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Dad, my brother is not young anymore. He probably has nothing to do and nowhere to go, so he wanted to come to your place to accompany you."

"He also kept me company, smoked my cigarettes, drank my tea, and held on to my antiques. Oh, by the way, if it weren't for me, he would have run away with your antiques long ago." Yan Bugui said angrily.

Yan Jiekuang was startled and said, "Dad, return my things quickly. If they are gone, I won't have time to cry. No, let's go to your house." Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, I'll send them to you another day. Your elder brother really wouldn't dare to take them away secretly, but today he changed his tricks and wanted to borrow money from me, saying that he had an investment company and some good projects."

Yan Jiekuang didn't quite understand, but still asked, "So you borrowed it?"

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "You'll have to wait until the sun rises in the west before you can get money from me."

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "Dad, my brother is fifty-five now, right? What do you think he is doing?"

Yan Bugui said while eating ice cream, "I think he is just idle. By the way, he also said that Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are involved in that investment company. I don't believe it at all. He also said something about angel fund. What? Forget angel fund. Even if it is Jade Emperor Fund, don't even think of taking money from me."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "Okay, Dad, you stay here with the kids, I'll go cook, and we'll have some cold beer for lunch."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Go ahead, do something good and let me calm down."

Yan Jiekuang cooked six dishes at noon. Of course, there were only two hot dishes, one was braised pork and the other was Kung Pao chicken. The rest were cold dishes. The staple food was steamed buns, which were made yesterday and a few were heated up today.

The two adults and two children sat under the grape vines in the backyard and started eating. Yan Jiekuang specially brought a few bottles of iced beer. Yan Bugui was very satisfied, and the father and son started chatting while eating and drinking.

At the front door, in the courtyard of the Jia family, Jia Zhang was lying alone on a recliner in the yard. On the square table next to her was a pot of old wine, a wine glass, and a plate of peanuts. Next to her was a radio, which was playing Hong Kong and Taiwan songs. At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Jia Zhang shouted in a loud voice: "Come in, the door is not locked."

Yang Ruiping pushed the baby carriage in his daughter's room and opened the door. He walked in. When he saw Jia Zhang sitting on the recliner, he burst into laughter. He closed the door and said, "You are so relaxed. Why don't you go over there?"

"Oh, hurry up, let me see the treasure that the third child picked up." Jia Zhang said when she saw the baby carriage sitting up suddenly.

Yang Ruiping pushed the baby carriage over. Jia Zhang originally wanted to hold the baby, but she probably remembered that she had drunk some wine, so she used her hands to tease her daughter. Yang Ruiping said, "Old sister, how old are you? Why are you drinking wine so early in the morning?"

Jia Zhang said nonchalantly, "It's just that I'm old, so I live as I please. I don't like going out in this hot weather, so it's nice to have a drink and take a nap at noon. No one comes to see me except you."

Yang Ruiping was stunned for a moment and asked, "How long has it been since your son and his family came?"

"Dongxu, he just came here last week. I heard he was doing angel investment. He's very busy. Xiaodang and Huaihua come here often." Jia Zhang said after taking a sip of wine.

Yang Ruiping sat next to her and kept her company, advising her to drink less. The two of them played with the child and chatted about family matters.
