Siheyuan: Full of Love

Yan Bugui returned home feeling a little depressed.

The third aunt looked at him curiously and asked, "Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Bugui said: "Jia Dongxu is getting married."

The third aunt was surprised and asked, "Jia Dongxu is getting married? Really?"

"How could it be false? Zhang Dazhuang told me so himself, and he is going to have a wedding banquet with them in the courtyard!"

The third aunt said happily: "That's great! Our courtyard will be lively now!"

Then he looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Dongxu is getting married, this is a good thing! Why are you still not happy?"

Yan Bugui smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Don't mention it. Zhang Dazhuang and I were just discussing Jia Dongxu's matter, and Jia Zhang was cleaning nearby."

"We were talking about Jia Dongxu's wedding banquet, but Jia Zhangshi heard it as a request for emergency assistance to Jia Dongxu!"

"She thought Jia Dongxu couldn't make ends meet and came to Siheyuan to borrow money!"

"Then she quickly told me that she and Jia Dongxu were no longer related, so if I wanted to borrow money, don't count her in!"

The three aunts were also speechless after hearing this.

She frowned and said, "This Jia Zhang is really... Alas! I don't know how to say good things about her!"

Yan Bugui continued, "You said she was not good enough, but what she said was not wrong! After all, she and Jia Dongxu have severed their mother-son relationship, so they are just strangers, right?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he found this matter very interesting.

"But why does her words make me angry?"

The third aunt comforted him, "Okay, Old Yan, after all these years, don't you know who she is? If you get angry with her, she'll make you die!"

Yan Bugui said: "When Jia Dongxu gets married and holds a wedding banquet, I wonder how Jia Zhangshi will be able to put her face down!"

The third aunt said: "Even if her face is on the ground, she won't care. She is such a shameless person."

Yan Bugui said, "What I'm worried about is that Jia Zhang will cause trouble during their wedding banquet! If that happens, Zhang Dazhuang will be embarrassed and will let her off easily?"

"Then let her go back to labor camp! Zhang Dazhuang has plenty of ways to deal with it anyway, so why are you worrying about it?"

"That's right. If we let her suffer a little, she will behave herself."

Yan Bugui stopped talking about Jia Zhangshi and asked, "Are Jie Cheng and the others still not up?"

"Dad, is there anything wrong?" Yan Jiecheng came out of the bedroom.

"Call Jiefang, let's go haul coal!"

"Dad, we brought back two large trucks of media yesterday. We were almost exhausted to death! Why are you letting us go today?"

Yan Bugui said: "The coal we pulled yesterday belonged to me and your mother, and the coal we pulled today belongs to you!"

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng calmly stretched out his hand and waved it towards Yan Bugui.

"what are you doing?"

"Dad, you give me yesterday's wages, and today we two brothers will go and haul our own coal! You don't have to go!"

Yan Bugui suddenly looked at him with interest.

You little bastard, I haven't done anything to you for a long time. Do you want to fight me again?

"Dad, don't tell me how much it costs to raise us and feed us. Jiefang and I will pay for these after we get a job."

"Let's talk about the facts. Yesterday, my brother and I pulled two large carts of coal. You said it belonged to you and my mother. We don't want much. Fifty cents a cart is not much, right?"

"Just give me one piece!"

Yan Bugui said, "Okay, I'll pay me for hauling coal, but do you have the nerve to ask for money for your mother's coal expenses?"

Yan Jiecheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then just give me 50 cents!"

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "That's right, this is the minimum respect for your mother!"

"Give me your fifty cents!" Yan Jiecheng stretched out his hand towards Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui pushed his hand away and said, "You know how to respect your mother, so why don't you know how to respect me?"

Yan Jiecheng reached out to him again.

Yan Bugui had no choice but to say, "Okay! Let's come back tonight and settle the bill together! We are a family of one horse and one horse, and we have to settle the bill clearly!"

Yan Jiecheng said happily: "Thank you, Dad!"

He told Yan Jiefang to have breakfast quickly and then go to haul coal after breakfast.

Otherwise, I will have to spend the night with you again today.

Work hard and eat well, and the third aunt prepared an egg for each of them for the first time.

I also prepared two more bags of dry food.

Yan Jiecheng asked: "Dad, don't you want to eat eggs?"

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "You don't need me to help you haul coal today, so I won't eat."

Yan Jiecheng peeled the remaining eggs and ate half with Yan Jiefang.

After dinner, the two of them went out to work.

Yan Bugui asked, "Can you go by yourself?"

Yan Jiecheng said: "Dad, I know if you want to go with us, you will have to ask us for wages, you just need to rest at home."

"Just remember to give us fifty cents tonight!"

"What fifty cents?"

"Dad, you're cheating again! If you keep doing this, we'll never be able to figure out our family's accounts!"

Yan Bugui immediately quit, jumped up and said, "When did I cheat?"

"It's just a meal and you're not paying 50 cents. Isn't that cheating?" Yan Jiefang said impatiently.

Yan Bugui said calmly: "You didn't eat the eggs? So eggs are free?"

Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly: "That's what mom cooked for us when we went out to work!"

Yan Bugui said: "Your mother cooked three eggs, but I didn't eat mine, so you two shared it. I want the money for my egg!"

Yan Jiecheng was furious: "An egg is only fifty cents? That's too expensive!"

"Who said that? Didn't you and Jiefang eat half each? It counts as two eggs! It only counts as one egg if only one of you eats it!"

Yan Bugui spoke eloquently and authentically.

"Two eggs, cooked by your mother herself for me, is fifty cents too much?"

Yan Jiecheng was a little disappointed and said, "Can it be cheaper?"

Yan Bugui said: "Who told you to disrespect me just now? I don't respect you either! It must be 50 cents, no discussion!"

"Okay then, Dad, let's go haul coal together!"

Yan Bugui stretched out his hand and waved it at Yan Jiecheng, "Fifty cents for wages! You can pay me when you come back in the evening! I want fifty cents for two truckloads of coal. This is the greatest respect I can show you as a father!"

"Don't worry, our accounts will never be wrong!"

Yan Jiecheng...

"Brother, I told you not to scheme against our dad. It was supposed to be a job for three people, but now not only did we not get paid, but we have to do the job for two people now!"

The third aunt couldn't stand it anymore and said to Yan Bugui, "Why are you always plotting against the children?"

"How many times have I told you this? People of culture cannot be called calculating. They cannot be called calculating. They have to be called maneuvering!"

"I've told you so many times but you still can't remember. I'll punish you by making you boil an egg for me!"

The three aunts...

Yan Jiecheng...
