Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 55: The Uprising Failed
Front yard of the Siheyuan

Yan Bugui and He Yuzhu were in a stalemate.

"Uncle Yan, please forgive him when you can. This idiot Zhu didn't say anything." Yi Zhonghai's voice came.

Yan Bugui said, "Did I say anything?"

Liu Haizhong stood up and said, "Teacher Yan, you are making things difficult for a child, okay?"

"Am I not giving in?" Yan Bugui stared at Liu Haizhong, and Liu Haizhong's eyes were a little evasive.

At this time, He Daqing came out of the door and said as he walked, "What do you mean, bullying a child? Come on, let's practice."

As he was about to grab Yan Bugui’s shoulder, Yan Jiekuang shouted, “Brother, don’t come in. Go call the police.”

Everyone turned around and saw a figure moving outside. Yan Jiefang ran away.

He Daqing didn't move. Yi Zhonghai came over and said, "We are all neighbors. We just can't stand it and we have to judge for justice."

Yan Bugui's heart was also pounding, but he had nothing to say.

Several people froze, Yang Ruiping rushed out and ran towards He Daqing, "You are the one who wants to hit my wife, I will fight with you."

As he said that, he started to attack. He Daqing didn't dare to fight back and his face was bleeding.

People in the front yard were trying to stop the fight, and at this moment, the police arrived.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to speak, Yan Jiekuang said, "We were the ones who called the police."

"Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing, He Yuzhu, and Liu Haizhong wanted to gang up on my dad. They all have criminal records."

"Comrade police officer, I won't explain the difference between a gang fight and a brawl. Just cuff them. I don't need mediation in my family."

Yan Jiekuang's words were very oppressive, and if the police did not act, they would be dereliction of duty. The police shook their heads and directly took the four people away.

When the four people were tortured, they were all dumbfounded. Shouldn't there be some mediation?

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "Police comrade, let's discuss this."

Before they could finish their words, the Yan family members all turned around and went back to the west wing. The police said, "We don't want to discuss this with you. Go away."

After dinner, Director Wang came to the door, and a middle-aged man came with him.

Yan Jiekuang didn't think much about it. He just didn't want to argue back and forth and wanted to make a quick decision. He would leave the rest to Yan Bugui.

Things developed quickly, and before long, several people came back. Yan Bugui didn't say much. The apology he wanted was realized under the witness of Director Wang.

October 1956, East Wing of the Front Courtyard of the Siheyuan

Today Yan Jiekuang invites Uncle Yang to dinner, and Uncle Yang is leaving.

Uncle Yang readily agreed. He did not think Yan Jiekuang was small-minded. He saw how he had helped him overcome difficulties without showing off for so many years.

Yan Jiekuang really has to thank Uncle Yang. Without Uncle Yang, there would be no trip to the purchasing station for him.

Yan Jiekuang prepared four dishes, "Sichuan boiled fish, Dongpo pork, Cantonese seafood, and XJ pilaf", and prepared Zhuangyuanhong for Uncle Yang.

Zhuangyuanhong was dug out from the underground of the purchasing station, which means that half of the property has been returned to its original owner.

At noon, Yan Jiekuang entered Uncle Yang's house carrying a lunch box.

Uncle Yang has packed his things. He is no longer an ordinary person. With a savings of nearly 3,000 yuan, he has the confidence to go to Guangzhou.

Uncle Yang was still very surprised when he saw the dish, and asked Yan Jiekuang who made it. Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "I made it. I learned it from the book at the purchasing station."

Uncle Yang smiled and started eating with his cheeks wide open. During the meal, he talked with Yan Jiekuang about previous events. Yan Jiekuang did not hide anything from Uncle Yang, except his own secrets.

Uncle Yang left his address to Yan Jiekuang and repeatedly told him to visit him if he had the chance.

Yan Jiekuang said: "There must be a chance."

When leaving, the gift and letter for Yang Qianjin were placed on the table. Uncle Yang was already drunk.

Siheyuan Middle Courtyard

He Daqing prepared a meal at home.

Originally, there were only four of them having dinner, then Jia Dongxu came, then Zhang Erzhu came, and finally Chang Lin came too.

There was no choice but to add a few dishes. Those who came later brought wine, especially Jia Dongxu, who brought two bottles of Fenjiu.

The drinking party started happily.

Li Cuilan left with a frown, and He Yushui also returned to the ear room with a frown. I don't know what was said in this drinking party, but in the end, there was only one decision, to isolate Yan Bugui.

They opposed everything Yan Bugui thought was right.

They support everything that Yan Bugui thinks is wrong.

Front yard of the Siheyuan

Yang Ruiping joked to Yan Bugui, "How do you feel when you hear that everyone is holding a meeting to plot against you?"

Yes, their discussion was so loud that the whole compound could hear it.

Yan Bugui began to sing, "I was watching the mountain scenery from the tower, and heard a commotion outside the city. Banners were waving in the air, and it turned out that they were soldiers sent by Sima. I also sent people to inquire, and they learned that Sima was leading his troops westward."

Yang Ruiping clapped his hands to keep the beat.

Yan Jiefang was stunned, and as soon as he finished speaking, he shouted, "Dad, you have to teach me."

Yan Bugui was about to agree when Yan Jiekuang said, "I've been secretly listening to this radio a lot."

Yan Jiefang's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, why don't I just learn from the radio?

"Don't even think about it, I bought it," said Yan Bugui.

Yan Jiefang said, "You cheated me of too little money. I am young and don't care about it. If I care about it, you will have to pay me three or five thousand."

Yan Bugui immediately became dispirited, and finally said, "Okay, let's listen together."

"Little sister, let me take you to build the city tower to prevent our dad from falling again." Yan Jiekuang shouted towards the inner room.

The Yan family burst into laughter.

The next day, Li Cuilan told them about Yi Zhonghai's performance last night. They felt so ashamed that they avoided people for a long time afterwards.

Backyard of the Siheyuan
Liu Guangqi is back.

The Liu family in the West Wing was unable to go to college after graduating from high school because of his father, but was allowed to return to his original street and wait for assignment.

Liu Guangqi had a girlfriend in high school who was quite capable, and I wanted to help him make more efforts.

But the final result was this: Liu Guangqi had to return to his original street and wait for assignment, and finally he had to accept it.

Liu Haizhong cried bitterly because he had ruined his son's future. Liu Guangqi had become numb. He tried hard to change, but he didn't know why his father always went astray.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw the eldest brother, they were very happy, but what they saw was the eldest brother's cold face and a clear sense of distance.

The two were also dumbfounded. The eldest brother had changed and seemed to have become a stranger.

Zhao Yue'e didn't care about all that. She continued to pamper him and showed concern for him.

Liu Guangqi was really lucky. He happened to catch up with the first expansion of the steel rolling mill after its public-private partnership. Thanks to his father's efforts, he entered the technical department of the steel rolling mill. A high school education was already a high level of education.

His girlfriend also worked at the sewing machine factory. Liu Guangqi spent very little time in the compound and hardly ever saw her. People in love always feel that there is not enough time.

December of 1956

Yan Jiekuang is working on his model today, which is a wooden BJ Tiananmen Square. This is a school assignment and he wants to use it in a competition.

Yan Jie Di always wanted to help, which gave him a headache. He coaxed his little sister and said that he would make something delicious for her and told her to go find her mother first.

The younger sister refused to accept this and said, "You didn't even take me to play something so fun. I won't be with you anymore."

Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to stop what he was doing, make a set of building blocks for Yan Jiedi, and carefully teach her how to play.

The little girl happily walked away with the building blocks.

Yan Jiekuang let out a long sigh and was just about to fix his homework.

Yan Jiefang sneaked in and asked, "What are you doing in the competition?"

"Brother, this is a city-wide competition, why are you always staring at me?" Yan Jiekuang said with a helpless smile.

Yan Jiefang didn't shy away from the question and said directly: "I'm your brother. I know you're the best at carpentry. You can even carve."

"You're not going to brag to your classmates, are you? Do you want me to make one for you too?" Yan Jiekuang asked tentatively.

Yan Jiefang stared with his big eyes and said, "How do you know?"

Yan Jiekuang slapped his head and said, "It's all debt."
