Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 568 Preliminary understanding
As the year draws to a close, the cold winter weather cannot dampen people’s enthusiasm. This year, the peninsula has seen frequent good news, which has aroused the enthusiasm of people across the city. Although there are many difficulties, most people believe that these are temporary and that victory will surely come as long as they unite as one.

The same goes for Wang Wenyuan. After studying in the training class and being baptized by the war, his thinking improved rapidly. He is no longer the Tianqiao Yuanye who only cares about the affairs of the underworld. However, because of his debt to his sister and his desire for family warmth, coupled with the selfish idea of ​​putting his family first in his bones, he is not willing to go to work in the public security department. And the most important point is that although it is now called the Public Security Bureau, it was the old police station in the past. Don't forget that his parents died there, so he is naturally averse to it.

As night fell, after Wang Wenyuan had finished his dinner, he took his sister and Yu Shui to play in his room. Wang Wenyuan took out a lot of toys from his space warehouse, most of which were handicrafts, such as rattles, bamboo dragonflies, etc., which he had stolen in Dashilan before the liberation. There were also some Mickey Mouse milk candies and chocolates, as well as fruit candies.

In fact, the most abundant things in Wang Wenyuan's space warehouse were gold, silver, dollars and foreign currencies. The only RMB he had was the eight million given to him when he returned and the tens of millions in pension for his parents. There was very little food and meat left. They were either left in the secret room or distributed to each company on the battlefield. If they really had to rely on fried noodles and snow, they would not be able to survive. All they had seized were a Dodge truck and an American jeep, a bunch of canned food, a few watches, pens, lighters, cigarettes, combat rations and the like, and nothing else.

While Wang Wenyuan was teasing his sister, he listened to the noise next door. Soon he heard the sound of pots being knocked and someone shouting, "It's time for a meeting, it's time for a meeting."

Wang Wenyuan was happy, he stood up and put on his coat, and asked He Yushui, "Yushui, there is a meeting in the compound over there, do you want to go home? I'll take you there."

He Yushui nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Yuan, I want to go home."

Wang Wenyuan took the two little girls to the next courtyard first, left his sister with Granny Jinhua, and asked the two mothers, "There's a meeting in the next courtyard, do you want to go and take some rain water back?"

Mother Hua looked at He Yushui and asked, "Yushui, do you want to go back? Or do you want to stay here with Mother Hua?"

He Yushui said, "Let me see if my brother is at home. If not, I will come back with you, Mom."

Mother Hua nodded and said, "Okay, that's right. If you don't show up again, the people in that yard will think you're missing. It's better to go back and show yourself."

The three of them took He Yushui and quietly walked to the next yard. There was really no one in the front yard. After entering the Lotus Gate, they looked at the people in the yard. All four sides were full of people. Two half-grown boys struggled to move a square table and placed it in front of the main door. Wang Wenyuan took the two mothers to hide behind the shade of the tree on the right side of the Lotus Gate. There was not much light in the yard. There was only a dim electric light in the middle of the yard. A long electric wire hung in the air, which seemed to be connected to the backyard.

He Yushui looked around, pulled Hua's mother's sleeve, and said, "My brother is at the door. Mom, I'm going back first. I'll come to your place tomorrow morning."

Mother Hua followed the direction of He Yushui's finger and saw a man who looked to be in his twenties. He looked unruly, sitting in front of the main house with his legs crossed. Mother Hua frowned and said, "Your brother is this old already, he must be in his twenties, right?"

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, "Mom, that's my brother. He's only seventeen years old."

"That guy is a bit too anxious. Go and find your brother. Go around the side and don't go through the middle." Hua's mother said.

He Yushui walked along the right corridor and quietly approached her brother. Wang Wenyuan lit a cigarette and said, "These three uncles are really arrogant. It's so cold, and they let the people freeze like this. It's a bit unkind."

"That's right. What a jerk. He really thinks he is a black man with a white dog." Mother Feng said. Mother Feng had a natural hatred for these two types of people.

The central courtyard was extremely lively and noisy. Even if you were two people away, you couldn't tell what people were saying over there. But not far in front of Wang Wenyuan and the other two, there were two middle-aged women sitting and having a lively discussion. The three of them were listening quietly in the back.

Although Mother Hua was listening, her eyes never left He Yu Shui who was walking towards his brother, until He Yu Shui pulled his brother's sleeve. As soon as the boy saw He Yu Shui, he yelled something and pointed to a room in the east wing. He Yu Shui turned around and walked over, took out the key to open the door, and closed the door directly after going in. Seeing all this, Mother Hua frowned and sighed.

Wang Wenyuan didn't notice it, but Mother Feng heard it and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" "I feel sorry for Yu Shui. You see, Yu Shui found her brother just now, and her brother probably scolded her and asked her to go back to the house. He didn't even ask if Yu Shui had eaten. How can a brother be like this?" Mother Hua said.

Mother Feng said, "How can you not afford to raise such a small child with so many people in the yard? These people are so cruel and ruthless."

The two were chatting happily when they suddenly remembered that Wang Wenyuan was silent. They looked at each other and saw Wang Wenyuan staring in one direction. Following the direction Wang Wenyuan was looking, they saw a couple sitting on the west side of the yard. The man was average looking, but the woman was really beautiful, with red lips, white teeth, big watery eyes, and two pigtails. She looked to be around twenty years old, young and immature, with two dimples when she smiled. Although she was wearing a cotton coat in winter, it couldn't hide the woman's proud figure.

Hua Mama knew this woman because when she got married, she went to watch the fun. Her name was Qin Huairu, and she married Jia Dongxu next door. Jia Dongxu's mother was the famous Jia Zhang, the old woman who was instructed by Wang Wenyuan and scolded unconscious by Hua Mama.

"Boy, what are you looking at?" asked Hua's mother.

Wang Wenyuan quickly retracted his gaze and said in panic: "I didn't see anything, I just saw a familiar person."

Mother Feng slapped him on the head and said, "Familiar? Familiar, that woman is from the countryside. When she got married, your mother had already left. Besides, didn't you see that she was pregnant? Don't keep imagining nonsense."

Mother Hua smiled and touched Wang Wenyuan's head, saying, "After going to the battlefield, you came back to miss women. Not bad, you have a promising future."

Wang Wenyuan turned around, looked up and said, "I didn't, I didn't have any wild thoughts, don't talk nonsense."

Mother Feng sneered and said, "I tell you, this is a new society, you'd better not have it."

Wang Wenyuan quickly pointed to the middle of the yard and said, "Here it comes, here it comes." The two mothers looked in the direction of the table.

Wang Wenyuan was sweating all over. He patted his chest, thankful for his quick reaction, then lit another cigarette and looked at the main table where the meeting was held. Three people walked to the table and sat down. Wang Wenyuan recognized the one sitting in the middle, Yi Zhonghai. Wang Wenyuan also recognized the one sitting on the left, Yan Bugui whom he met at the door. The one sitting on the right was a fat man. Wang Wenyuan thought he looked familiar, but he didn't know his name.

After the three of them sat down, the fat man on the right took a sip of tea from the teacup, looked around in a fake manner, then coughed twice and said, "Well, all residents in the courtyard, please pay attention, stop whispering to each other, stop mumbling, now we have a meeting, well, well, it's winter, pay attention to the fire, pay attention to safety, well, well, now let our uncle speak."

Wang Wenyuan burst out laughing and said, "What is this fat guy talking about? He can't even say a complete sentence. How can he act like a big shot with this level of ability?"

Mother Hua said jokingly: "Don't mind what people say. He is a pretty good official. Haha, I really couldn't help it." Mother Feng quickly reminded her to lower her voice.

The middle uncle also took a sip of water from his teacup, like the second uncle, then cleared his throat and said, "Our courtyard has always been a harmonious place with neighbors, respecting the elderly and loving the young. It is also an excellent courtyard in the entire Nanluoguxiang. We also have Rong Nai as the manager. But today, when most of us were at work, something unpleasant happened in the courtyard. The two parties involved were the Qi family and the Jia family. Come on, it's so cold, don't waste everyone's time, which of you two families will come up and talk first."

Wang Wenyuan nodded. This Yi Zhonghai was really capable. The real show was about to begin. Wang Wenyuan became excited.
