Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 575 Gold Bar Exchange
In the early morning in the courtyard, Mother Feng is always the first to get up. She starts to pick up firewood and add firewood. She makes the kangs in several rooms burn brightly before going to the kitchen to cook.

Mother Hua was busy getting the two little girls and Grandma Jinhua up, and she was having a lot of fun in the main room.

Wang Wenyuan opened the door, took two toilets and ran to the public toilet. After emptying the toilets, he just walked to the gate of the yard, he saw a woman wearing a blue cotton jacket with floral patterns and two long braids coming out of the next yard, carrying a toilet and running to the toilet. Wang Wenyuan's memory was still good. This woman should be the new daughter-in-law of the Jia family. What a beautiful woman, especially her pair of eyes that could speak, so beautiful.

Only when the woman was out of sight did Wang Wenyuan carry the two toilets into the yard. He placed the toilets in the sink in the southwest corner and went back to the house to wash up. Recently, he had also learned to wash his face and brush his teeth with warm water.

While eating breakfast, Wang Wenyuan said, "Moms, I found Heizi. He should deliver the supplies tonight. I have to go find Aunt Wang today to see if there is any place to exchange money. I have to go and exchange some. Otherwise, if we keep trading big and small yellow croakers, there will be problems sooner or later."

Granny Jinhua said, "Grandson, you have no money. I still have some. Why don't you take it? I won't need it anyway."

Wang Wenyuan said, "How can I take your money? I have more money than I can spend. I just don't have the new currency. I only have over 8 million yuan. I didn't touch the 10 million yuan my parents gave me. I plan to give it to Wenli for school."

Little Wenli seemed to understand. She ate the steamed bun made of two grains of flour and gave her brother a big smile.

"Okay, I know you are a capable person, but you brothers can no longer do the things you did before liberation. Now it's a new society." Granny Jinhua said while drinking porridge.

"Don't worry, grandma. After all, I am an educated person and I know what to do and what not to do. Okay, you guys eat, I'll go back to the house to clean up." Wang Wenyuan drank the porridge in one gulp, then stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

When he said he was packing up, he meant to take some things over for Aunt Wang. Oh, and there was also the little devil in front of the door. It was easier for the King of Hell to deal with than the little devil. He took the things out of the warehouse, four cans of beef, four cans of fruit, a box of chocolates, and a pack of Camel cigarettes. That was it. Wang Wenyuan put on his coat, walked out of the yard with the bag, then locked the door from the outside. Then he went to the next yard, got on his rickshaw, and went out of the alley and headed straight for the street office.

When they got to the door, as expected, Uncle Qi stared at him without saying a word. Wang Wenyuan chuckled and said, "Uncle, do you know that I brought you something good? That's why you stare at me so hard?"

Uncle Qi watched Wang Wenyuan take out a cigarette from his bag and handed it to him. He suddenly smiled and squinted his eyes and said, "I knew you must have captured some on the battlefield. Let me take a look. Ouch, there are foreign cigarettes."

"It's from the United States. You can smoke it first. Tell me when you're done." Wang Wenyuan said.

Uncle Qi said, "Okay, go in, your Aunt Wang is already here."

"Okay, then I'll park the car in the front yard." Wang Wenyuan pushed the car into the yard.

After parking the car, I went straight to Director Wang's office in the backyard and knocked on the door. Director Wang's voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Wang Wenyuan pushed the door open, greeted Director Wang with a smile, and said, "Auntie Wang, I came to see you."

"How come you're well so quickly? Are you okay?" Director Wang looked up and saw that it was Wang Wenyuan. He put down the documents in his hand, stood up, walked out of the desk, and pulled Wang Wenyuan to sit on the rattan sofa.

Then Director Wang was about to get up to pour him some water, but Wang Wenyuan quickly stopped her and said, "Auntie Wang, please don't be busy. I have something else to do and can't stay for a few minutes."

Wang Wenyuan handed the bag to Director Wang, who asked in confusion, "What did you take?" and looked into the bag.

"These are all captured on the battlefield. I have wanted to send them to you for a long time, but they have been delayed by a few things. You can go home and satisfy your child's craving." Wang Wenyuan said.

"Oh, it's canned beef. OK, since you confiscated it, I'll take it." After reading it, Director Wang put the bag aside.

"By the way, Aunt Wang, I have something to ask you. Should we encourage private individuals to exchange gold and silver with banks?" Wang Wenyuan asked.

Director Wang said, "Yes, what's the matter? You want to exchange it, where did you get it from?"

Wang Wenyuan said, "I'm planning to exchange the money my parents left me. Do you think it's okay?" "That's fine. But you can only go to the head office over there in the square to exchange it. I'll also need to write you a letter of introduction. By the way, did you bring your work ID?" Director Wang asked.

Wang Wenyuan quickly took out his work ID and handed it to Director Wang. Director Wang said, "Wait here, I'll get it for you." Then he stood up and walked out. Wang Wenyuan was about to take out a cigarette when Director Wang came back, opened Wang Wenyuan's bag, took out the can of beef, and carried it out.

Wang Wenyuan knew that Director Wang must have sent the canned beef to the cafeteria. Director Wang was truly a selfless person.

After a while, Director Wang gave Wang Wenyuan the letter of introduction and work permit. He did not delay any longer and stood up to say goodbye. At this time, Director Wang waved mysteriously. Wang Wenyuan came to Director Wang, and Director Wang whispered, "Bring He Yushui to my place tomorrow afternoon. I will give you a surprise."

Wang Wenyuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Has He Daqing been captured?"

Director Wang nodded and said with a smile, "On the way, they will arrive tonight. They will probably have to stay at the police station for one night and come to my place tomorrow."

Wang Wenyuan smiled, nodded, and left Director Wang's office.

After leaving the street office, he rode his bike to the square. He knew the location of the head office, which was the original site of the old central bank. He often collected things there, and most of the things in the warehouse were taken from there.

When they arrived at the gold and silver exchange office on the first floor, Wang Wenyuan took out a small bag from his pocket, which contained five large yellow croakers and five small yellow croakers. He also handed over the letter of introduction and work permit.

After communicating with the staff, Wang Wenyuan opened an account and deposited the bulk of the money directly into it, 20 million in deposits and 8 million in cash. After completing the process, Wang Wenyuan went straight back to Maoer Hutong. He had an important thing to do today and he had to clear out the basement.

When we returned to Maoer Hutong and entered grandma's yard, we saw two children running around outside. The snow had not been cleared away yet. Wang Wenyuan had also built a snowman in grandma's yard. When the two girls saw Wang Wenyuan coming back, they rushed over and shouted, "Brother, brother!" "Brother Yuan, you're back. Brother Damao is here again and is chatting with mom and grandma in the house."

Wang Wenyuan looked at He Yushui, squatted down, hugged He Yushui and said, "Yushui, tell your brother, do you miss dad?"

He Yushui thought about it, nodded first, then shook her head and said, "I thought about him at first, but now I have grandma, mother Hua, mother Feng, brother Yuan, and sister Lili, so I don't think about him anymore."

Wang Wenyuan was happy and said, "Okay, brother got it. I'll take you out tomorrow. You can play with your sister first. I'll go inside and take a look."

Wen Li held his thighs tightly and refused to let go. When Wang Wenyuan took out some White Rabbit snacks and some chocolates, she immediately raised her hand to him, giggling, and ran away holding Yu Shui, apparently to divide the spoils.

As soon as Wang Wenyuan entered the room, he heard the laughter of Xu Damao and the two mothers. It seemed that Xu Damao had made the three of them very happy. Wang Wenyuan took off his coat and said, "Damo is here. By the way, do you have time tomorrow?"

Xu Damao stood up and said, "Brother Yuan is back, I have time, what's the matter?"

Wang Wenyuan came over, lit a cigarette, and said, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to see a good show. By the way, call that guy, what's his name? Sha Zhu, and tell him that I'm taking him to the street office to see an acquaintance."

Xu Damao said timidly: "He can't listen to me. I told him he can't go with me."

"Tomorrow morning, take He Yushui with you and tell him that Director Wang is looking for him in the afternoon. Remember, don't let other people in the yard know. Do you understand?" Wang Wenyuan warned.

Xu Damao nodded, and Wang Wenyuan said, "Please sit down. I have something else to do."

After Wang Wenyuan finished speaking, he ran outside, entered his own yard, and locked the moon gate directly. He couldn't let Xu Damao know that there was a basement in his yard.
