I messed up the Siheyuan

"What's so hard to light?" Auntie said, "Two matches are enough to light a firecracker."

"That's enough! That's enough!" Yan Fugui said impatiently, "Old woman, just get Jiefang a new box of matches!"

The third aunt hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "There are no matches left at home. This is the only box left."

Seeing Yan Fugui was about to get angry, she hurriedly said weakly: "I was thinking of buying it tomorrow, who knew..."

"I..." Yan Fugui almost cursed out loud.

How come things are so complicated!

At this point, there were only two matchsticks left in the house.

He hesitated for a moment, and with a hint of reluctance, he took out a pack of economical cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Yan Jiefang.

"Liberation, in a moment, first use the match to light the cigarette, then use the cigarette to light the firecrackers."

"It's safer this way."

At this point, he thought for a moment and then reminded, "When the firecrackers are lit, you put out the cigarettes and take the rest back."

"Ah!..." Yan Jiefang said in surprise: "Dad, it's just a cheap cigarette, and you're still like this?"

"Broken economic cigarettes?" Yan Fugui glanced at Yan Jiefang with disdain, "Dad really didn't see that...

Our second child has quite a big temper?

Since you despise economical cigarettes, how about you buy Dad one or two packs tomorrow?"

"Don't! Don't! Don't!..." Yan Jiefang immediately admitted his mistake, "Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong, is that not enough?

This cigarette! ...I promise to give it to you in a nice way and then take it back."

After saying this, he didn't dare argue with Yan Fugui anymore, and hurriedly pulled Yan Jiekuang and rushed out.

The two men tiptoed carefully through the hanging flower gate and came to the central courtyard.

There were no longer any people fetching water or washing by the pool in the central courtyard.

Some families have even turned off the lights and started to go to bed.

However, the lights in Shazhu's house were still on.

This made the Yan Jiefang brothers breathe a sigh of relief.

The two men lowered their heads and discussed for a few words, then found a corner to squat down and began to wait.

Gradually, as the lights in each household in the Central Courtyard began to go out one after another, the entire Central Courtyard became darker and darker.

The Yan Jiefang brothers waited and waited...

Finally, except for Sha Zhu's family, all the households in the central courtyard turned off the lights.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the faint sound of someone snoring in deep sleep.

Yan Jiekuang, whose legs were numb from squatting, stood up, stretched his legs, and said impatiently, "Second brother, why haven't you turned off the lights at Shazhu's house yet?"

"Who knows?" Yan Jiefang answered perfunctorily.

"Second brother..." Yan Jiekuang asked again: "What did Brother Damao say before?"

"Hmm!" Yan Jiefang hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be...

When Shazhu turns off the lights at home and hears a humming sound, we can set off firecrackers right under his window. "

"Brother, what is that 'humming' sound?"

"'Hum-hum-hum' is 'hum-hum'!" Yan Jiefang said as a matter of course: "Anyway, let's listen carefully.

If there is any noise, we can just set off the firecrackers."

"Second brother, you said..."

Before Yan Jiekuang could finish his words, Yan Jiefang started to scold him impatiently.

"Jie Kuang, are you done yet? Just stay still."

"Oh!..." Yan Jiekuang responded weakly and squatted down obediently.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound of a door hinge turning suddenly from the distance.

The sound was not loud at first.

But in the quiet night sky, it sounded extremely harsh and could be heard from a long distance.

The Yan Jiefang brothers looked at each other and saw excitement and gossip in each other's eyes.

The brothers were not disappointed.

Soon, the door of Yi Zhonghai's house was opened.

The tall and strong figure of Yi Zhonghai also walked out from inside.

"Second brother, is it an old man?" Yan Jiekuang whispered, "Why is an old man out so late? Is he going to the toilet?"

"Shh!...Don't say anything, just watch!"

"Oh!..." Yan Jiekuang responded weakly.

After Yi Zhonghai came out, he did not walk towards the Chuihua Gate as Yan Jiekuang had guessed.

He first glanced around, and when he saw that the central courtyard was quiet and there was no one there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he took a few steps towards the main house of Sha Zhu's house.

Then he stood there, staring at the lighted room in Sha Zhu's house with a resentful look on his face.

Although the central courtyard was dark at this time, Yi Zhonghai's resentment could still be felt by Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang in the distance.

The two of them shrank their necks in fear.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai didn't stay for long.

After a while, he walked towards the backyard.

When he could no longer see his back, Yan Jiekuang whispered in a trembling voice: "Second brother, why does the first master hate Sha Zhu so much?"

"Since Shazhu was so hostile to him during the day, the two of them have almost fallen out." Yan Jiefang sighed and said, "How can an old man not hate him?"

"That shouldn't be the case!" Yan Jiekuang said in disbelief: "I saw what the old man meant...

He wanted to kill Sha Zhu." At this point, he couldn't help but show off.

“Hehe…” Yan Jiefang smiled, then looked at Yan Jiekuang with a little contempt, “Jiekuang, you are still young, you don’t understand these adult matters!

In two years, when you are older, you will understand. "

"Tsk!..." Yan Jiekuang curled his lips in disdain, "Second brother, you say that as if you are that old.

You are only three years older than me.

In the eyes of adults, you are also a little brat. "

"Hey!...You little bastard, you dare to talk back to me, huh!" As he said that, Yan Jiefang pretended to swing his fist.

These words immediately made Yan Jiekuang timid.

Because the age difference between the two is not big, so...

While growing up, Yan Jiekuang was often beaten by Yan Jiefang.

After being beaten so many times, he also summed up some experience.

That is, his second brother, Yan Jiefang, is a little slow in thinking.

Every time he got beaten, Yan Jiefang would immediately stop punching as long as he could find something else to divert his attention.

This time is no exception.

Yan Jiekuang had just received two punches, so he hurriedly said, "Brother! Brother!... Tell me... what is an old man doing in the backyard?"

"An old man went to the backyard?..."

Yan Jiefang retracted the third punch he was about to throw and lowered his head to ponder.

After a moment, he said uncertainly: "The uncle should have gone to look for the deaf old lady."

"A deaf old lady?" Yan Jiekuang asked in surprise, "Why would an old man like you look for a deaf old lady in the middle of the night?"

"I think she went to discuss something with the deaf old lady." Yan Jiefang said, "Once, I heard my father say...

The deaf old lady is actually the military advisor of the old man!

Whenever there is an important matter, the old man will go to the deaf old lady to discuss it. "
