Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 74: Keep a respectful distance

The lights in the courtyard were bright, but the yard was quiet.

Although two important people have left, the conference has not yet reached a conclusion

Yan Jiekuang once again stared at Xu Delin and said, "After you get married, I don't know if you can climb up to that high branch, but the branch will definitely break. Do you hear me?"

This is a threat to him. Xu Delin was sweating all over his head and said, "Teacher Yan is telling the truth."

Yan Jiekuang looked at Zhang Erzhu again and asked with a smile: "Did you hear that?"

Zhang Erzhu glanced at Xu Damao and said, "I didn't hear it. It was Teacher Yan who said Liu Guangqi."

"Yes, this crayfish made you happy for several years. You haven't forgotten who made the crayfish. You probably don't have much money left. Your chef level has not improved and the money has been spent. The ending of a liar is usually not very good." Yan Jiekuang ignored him after saying this.

Standing in the center, "I am the third child of the Yan family, Brother Zhuzi, have you forgotten that the author of the first article 'Fried Noodles Hero' was Comrade Yan Bugui? If it weren't for that article, who would know Sha Zhu? Of course, your contribution is your contribution, but the water does not come from the well you dig. The water in the old man's well is not dry yet."

"Everyone in the compound has received favors from my family a year ago. Although the sweet potatoes were planted by the children in the compound, do you think the sweet potato stems fell from the sky? I don't know what you are thinking. If you bully our family, we will never stop fighting, right, Xu Damao?"

After Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Damao. Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat. He just wanted to extort some money, but Liu Haizhong gave him a gift, and the people who arranged it were Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. How did this become a situation where he and the Yan family would never stop fighting?

Xu Damao reacted quickly and said, "No, I just felt uncomfortable and said a few too many words. I'm sorry, Teacher Yan." Xu Damao stood up and apologized and bowed in one go.

He Yuzhu thought for a long time, thinking about what happened before, he really received the most favors from the Yan family. He also stood up and bowed to Yan Bugui, saying: "I'm sorry, Teacher Yan, I should thank you, I'm really sorry."

Both parties are finished.

Yan Jiekuang turned around and left without arguing, without even mentioning Liu Haizhong. Yi Zhonghai knew that this matter was not over.

The Yan family has all left, and the people in the compound are no longer at peace. Everyone has received favors, and today they are mocking Yan Bugui. The Yan family’s intention is very clear, and we will not accompany them in the future.

Bang Geng, who was sitting next to Qin Huairu, said, "Third brother is so handsome!"

Jia Dongxu said: "You have to call me Third Uncle. My family has received the most favors."

Grandmother Jia also said, "Yes, I wasn't there. If I were there, I would definitely go up and scratch Liu Haizhong."

What Jia Zhang said was not a lie, she is now Yang Ruiping's best friend, and the two of them are as close as one person.

Jia Dongxu was thinking about things. He took to heart what Yan Jiekuang said to Zhang Erzhu and decided to find time to talk to the third brother.

Yi Zhonghai left Liu Haizhong behind and went straight to the backyard and into the deaf old lady's house.

The old lady sat on the bed, shivering, and Li Cuilan was comforting her.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to speak, the deaf old lady said dissatisfiedly: "Stay away from the Yan family, what are you doing?, Do you think you have lived too long?"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked, and his mind suddenly became clear. Things had been going so smoothly in the past few years that he couldn't remember anything that happened a few years ago.

"Got it!" Yi Zhonghai walked out.

West Wing of the Front Yard

Yan Bugui blamed Yan Jiekuang a little, saying: "This is such a complete change of attitude, how are we going to get along with each other from now on?"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Let them stay away and do it right away."

"Why? We are neighbors. We see each other every day. What are we going to do in the future?" Yan Bugui still didn't understand.

"Don't you know how much money you have? Don't you know how much you have earned openly? The situation outside is changing every day, don't you feel anything at all?" Yan Jiekuang really hated his father for being a useless person.

Yan Bugui broke out in a cold sweat, thinking carefully about some of his own affairs, he found that they really did not stand up to scrutiny.

Yan Jiekuang continued, "Whatever you can explain clearly can be used. The rest cannot be used. The investigation will become more and more strict. Why do you think the powerful Lou Bancheng left? Are you comparable to Uncle Lou?"

Almost everyone in the Yan family understood this, except Yan Jiedi. But she understood one thing: if the money was not earned by herself, she could not use it.

Yan Jiecheng and his wife were also a little scared. They lived too well and ate well, but it was not what they enjoyed. They could enjoy it but they had to keep a low profile. A conference ended, and some people suffered from insomnia.

In May of 1962, colorful flags fluttered and people were bustling about in the Sijiucheng Stadium.

Today is the sports meet for the junior and senior high schools in Sijiu City. All members of the Yan family are present, and Grandmother Jia brings Jia Geng and Xiao Dang to join in the fun.

Members of the Yan family must be present. Yan Jiekuang represents the No. 800 Middle School in the 1500m and 100m races, and Yan Jiefang represents the No. 200 Middle School in the m and m races.

On the first day, Yan Jiefang's competition started soon. The most tense one was the 100-meter preliminaries. Yan Jiefang came in second and entered the semi-finals.

In the afternoon, the 1500-meter race started directly. There was no preliminaries, only the finals. The Yan family cheered for Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiedi and Jia Geng got a small drum from somewhere, and the two took turns beating it. Yan Jiekuang lived up to everyone's expectations and won first place.

The family had dinner with the Jia family in the cafeteria. Principal Chen also came over to congratulate them in person, and Jia Geng's eyes lit up when he saw it.

The next day, the Jia family came again. Today was the highlight. In the words of Jia Zhang, "Today is the day to dominate."

The morning was uneventful, but Yan Jiefang successfully entered the finals of two events. Yan Jiekuang went directly to the 800-meter final in the morning and unsurprisingly came in first place.

Yan Jiekuang looked at Yan Jiefang provocatively. Yan Jiefang was holding back his anger. In the afternoon, the climax came. After a burst of "ah" sounds, Yan Jiefang won the first place in the 100-meter race. That sound came from him.

Not long after, in the 200-meter final, Yan Jiefang won second place. Before the two of them could even sit down, they were called off for the main event, the 4x100-meter race.

The Yan family was originally very happy, but now that the two brothers were competing for first place, Jia Zhang kept saying, "How immoral."

The children went straight to the playground, and Jia Geng, Yan Jiedi and Xiao Dang reached the finish line.

The two brothers were the last ones to run, and we thought it would be exciting, but No. 14 Middle School was too weak. No. 5 Middle School was first and No. 14 Middle School was fourth.

Then it was time for Yang Ruiping and Jia Zhangshi to divide the spoils. They distributed towels, soap boxes, and teacups. There were so many of them that Yan Bugui had a headache. He discussed with Jia Zhangshi and decided that each of them would get half.

Siheyuan Middle Courtyard

Jia Zhang spoke of the sports meeting with great excitement, and even shouted out the slogan of the propaganda, "Strengthen the people's physique and strengthen sports!"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were stunned. When did Jia Zhang become aware of this?
Anyway, from that day on, Jia Geng started running, rain or shine.

Jia Dongxu actually found Yan Jiekuang, and the two chatted for a long time. After that, Jia Dongxu disappeared as if he had disappeared in the courtyard.

He works diligently and conscientiously at work, and after get off work he takes care of his own food and drink.

Zhang Erzhu wanted to know Jia Dongxu's living conditions several times, but when he looked, he found that it was the same as most people's, eating steamed buns, corn porridge, and pickles.

Zhang Erzhu found out that Jia Dongxu never went to the ghost market, so he thought that he was as penniless as himself.

Jia Dongxu and his master are still the same as before, they treat each other with respect and have a good relationship with each other, but when you say take a step further, there's always something missing.

He Yuzhu has really changed a lot and has become homeless.

He Yumei's parents were very good to He Yuzhu and never said a word against him, which made He Yuzhu think that they were his real parents.

He Yuzhu goes back to his parents' home whenever he has time. He Yumei doesn't like to go back, but he enjoys doing so, so He Yumei has no choice but to go home.

He Yumei couldn't help asking him, "Are you marrying a new wife or marrying down?"

He Yuzhu proudly said that he was marrying down, but He Yumei's mother kept beating him from behind, saying that he said whatever he wanted.

The deaf old lady in the courtyard and Yi Zhonghai always thought that He Yuzhu was very busy with work.

The infighting within the steel mill has begun to show, with some small figures jumping out from time to time.

Yi Zhonghai is very sensitive and smart, so he stays away.
