Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 536: Fatty Causing Trouble
While on the way, Yan Jiekuang sent Xiaobao back and asked him to help keep an eye on the demolition and renovation of Xu Damao and call her in time if anything happened.

It was almost evening when Yan Jiekuang returned to the west wing. He said hello to his mother and was about to go back with his three children. Yan Bugui, who was cleaning fish at the door, saw him in a hurry and asked, "San'er, what are you busy with when I haven't seen you all day? Why are you going back so soon?"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Ah, it's hard to explain in a few words. I'll come over tomorrow to talk to you. Xiaohai and Xixi are at home and school is almost over. I have to go back to cook."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he did not stop them, and Yan Jiekuang took the child home.

The next day, around ten o'clock, Yan Jiekuang came again with the children. This time he did not go out, but sat with the old couple in the main hall in the backyard, drinking tea and chatting.

Yan Jiekuang first asked about the family's preparations for the New Year. In the next few days, he also had to buy some things. According to previous years' experience, in addition to his father's, he also had to visit Mrs. Wanzhi and Principal Chen in advance.

Yan Bugui said, "Your mother and I bought a few chickens, some pork ribs, and seasonings. We also bought soy sauce and oil. In the back garden, we have all the common vegetables, such as tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, beans, Chinese cabbage, and leeks. Your mother and I specially left them unpicked so that we can eat them during the Chinese New Year."

Yan Jiekuang handed Nannan to his mother and said, "Okay then, don't buy anything else. I'll go out for a walk the day after tomorrow and buy everything at once. You just wait for the New Year."

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Three, buy more. Those old people didn't go home for the New Year and said they wanted to celebrate together. Now, they have taken away all the lanterns, lace decorations and other things I have."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Okay, I get it. Isn't this good? There are so many people and it's lively. Otherwise, there's no New Year atmosphere at all and we would just watch TV and go to sleep."

Yang Ruiping smiled and said, "I knew our third child wouldn't have any objections. The house has been rented out, and we still need some food. You are just making up your mind."

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just make up my mind. That's enough. I'm just afraid that the third brother will annoy those people."

Yan Jiekuang said, "You know what, I used to be really annoyed with those old people, but since Aunt Jia passed away, I've let it go. After so many years of being neighbors, you two elders must have developed feelings for each other. I'm just a junior, so why should I be so fussy about it? To be honest, Dad, your two elders' happiness is more important than anything else."

Yang Ruiping smiled and said, "I know you are the most filial. By the way, when will the children come over?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "On the 29th of the lunar year, Shi Lei and Jingyi have already registered. They will probably spend the New Year together here. After the fifth day of the lunar year, they may have to go back to Suzhou. It would be bad if they don't go back this year."

Yan Bugui suddenly asked, "What were you busy with yesterday? I heard from your mother that you looked very bad in the morning and left in a hurry after leaving the child behind?"

Yan Jiekuang sighed and said, "Don't mention it. I was tricked by Xu Damao. I don't know what's wrong with Xu Damao's brain. He can come up with all kinds of ideas."

Then Yan Jiekuang told the story about the demolition and reconstruction of the house and the Yin-Yang contract.

Yan Bugui got furious when he heard this, and slammed the table and said, "Isn't this a scam? Do his parents know about this? No, I have to go talk to the old Xu couple." After saying that, without waiting for Yan Jiekuang to reply, he stood up and walked out angrily.

Yan Jiekuang stood up and tried to chase his father, but Yang Ruiping stopped him and said, "You can ask your father to talk to him. It's better to give the couple a heads-up in advance. If Xu Damao doesn't change and gets a ticket, don't say we didn't warn them in advance."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and it made sense, so he sat down again and chatted with Yang Ruiping. After a while, Fangfang came running in with her short legs and shouted, "Dad, Dad, hurry up, the flowers I raised are blooming, come with me and have a look."

Yan Jiekuang stood up and followed the little girl out. Fangfang held Yan Jiekuang's hand in front and led him to the back garden. In the northwest corner of the back garden, there was a very small piece of land surrounded by a fence. It was specially made by Yan Bugui for Fangfang. He also gave Fangfang a packet of seeds and then ignored Fangfang. Fangfang came here to take care of her piece of land, which was her secret garden.

At this time, there were some flowers growing here and there in the field, and there was even a bud. One of the Phalaenopsis orchids had already bloomed, with four or five flowers on one branch. These were grown by Fangfang herself. A four-year-old child is already very capable. It shows Fangfang's tenacity. Once she sets her mind on something, she will persevere.

Yan Jiekuang praised Fangfang and finally said, "When we get back, Dad will give you the back garden. You can do whatever you want with it."

Fangfang nodded and said, "I only planted half of the seeds grandpa gave me here. I planted the other half in our backyard, but it's not a glass house like here, so they didn't grow. Dad, don't you think they will die?" Yan Jiekuang touched Fangfang's head and said, "No, they will sprout in the spring, so you can plant them in the fall."

Fangfang grinned, and Yan Jiekuang accompanied Fangfang to fiddle with her flowers. It turned out that Fangfang really knew a bit about growing flowers, and she explained the precautions in detail.

The father and daughter were chatting warmly when they heard a series of tinkling sounds outside the yard, and a shout, "Dad, Dad, where are you?"

Yan Jiekuang felt the voice sounded familiar, so he walked out of the glass room. As soon as he came out, a man rushed in front of him and grabbed him. Yan Jiekuang looked and saw Da Pang, who was sweating profusely. Da Pang didn't care about anything at this time, so he said, "Dad, there was an accident in the cafe. Xiao Pang, her boyfriend, and Wen Yun were all taken away by the police."

Yan Jiekuang was stunned for a moment, looked at Dapang and asked, "How did you know?"

"My classmate happened to pass by, saw it, ran back and told me, so I hurried back to find you." Big Fat said breathlessly.

Yan Jiekuang didn't care about anything else. He turned around and went to the main room to get his coat, then walked out. Yang Ruiping shouted anxiously from behind, "Who's here? San'er, where are you going?"

Yan Jiekuang calmed down, turned around and said with a smile: "No one, Da Pang is here, I don't have the key to go home, and my friends are here, I'll be back soon."

When Yan Jiekuang walked further out, his steps were not so hurried. He left the house and said to Dapang, "Hurry up!" Yan Jiekuang was afraid of meeting Yan Bugui again, and he didn't want his parents to worry about their children.

The father and son hurriedly walked out of the alley, hailed a Santana and headed straight for Houhai.

When they arrived at Houhai, they saw that the cafe had been sealed off, so the father and son took a taxi to the Xinjiekou Police Station.

When they arrived at the Xinjiekou Police Station in Deshengmen, there was a guardhouse at the door with two policemen on duty. Yan Jiekuang greeted them with a smile and said, "Hello! Comrade, I want to ask you something. Has the employee of the Old Drum Tower Street Cafe been arrested?"

When the two policemen heard this, they were all happy and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Oh, I'm also one of the shareholders of that coffee shop and the father of Yan Yonghe. I heard that he committed some crime, so I came here to find him," said Yan Jiekuang.

"Oh, parent, right? You've come at the right time. Let me take you there." said one of the policemen.

The policeman led Yan Jiekuang and his son inside, saying as they walked: "Comrade, your son is really fierce. I have never seen such a fierce man. Oh, and those two women, each holding a kitchen knife, hacking on the street, do they think this is Hong Kong Island and are imitating the Young and Dangerous?"

When Yan Jiekuang heard what the police said, he was a little bit unconvinced. The images of Wen Yun and his future daughter-in-law Yang Lingling appeared in his mind. He could not combine their images with the kitchen knife. The fat man behind him looked at the police in surprise.

The policeman stopped and said, "Why don't you believe it? There are seven people lying in the hospital now. Think about it, these are not lightly injured." After that, he continued walking in front, and Yan Jiekuang and his son hurriedly followed.

Not long after, he arrived at the door of an office, knocked on it, and said "Report!". A voice came from inside, "Come in!"

The policeman turned around and said, "Wait a moment." The policeman went in, and Yan Jiekuang quickly turned around and said, "Fatty, hurry up and go to your second uncle's place and tell him what's going on here."

Dapang suddenly realized what was going on and quickly ran towards the door.
