Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "I agree to let them go, but I need to go back and discuss it with them. After all, this is a big deal."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui with disdain and said, "You just spoil them too much. If it were me, I would give them a good beating if they don't listen, and they would immediately obey. Look at my two children, they do whatever I say, and no one dares to talk back to me. Old Yan, I think you still need to improve in educating your children!"

After hearing this, He Daqing and Yan Bugui both despised Liu Haizhong in their hearts.

You educated your eldest son well, and he had the best future, but he got married and ran away with his wife overnight. I guess your two younger sons are not much better.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Yan Bugui and He Daqing left Liu Haizhong's house.

When Yan Bugui returned home, his family was sitting in the living room chatting.

When the third aunt saw Yan Bugui coming back, she said, "I just saw you tidying up the flower pots, how come you disappeared in the blink of an eye? What were you doing? I took back the kettle for you."

Others also looked at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui sat down and took a sip of water, then said, "I just went to sit with Old Liu with He Daqing. Today, Director Wang from the Subdistrict Office called He Daqing to arrange some things, and the three of us discussed it."

Yan Jiefang asked, "What's the matter, Dad?"

"It's about arranging jobs and allocating houses to those of you who don't have jobs."

"What? Are you going to arrange jobs for us? And allocate houses? This is a good thing, Dad! You must arrange a good job for me first. I have been doing odd jobs for many years. You must solve my problem first this time, right?"

Yan Jiecheng immediately shouted excitedly after hearing this.

Yan Jiefang also said, "And me, Dad. I don't have a job either, so it will be hard for me to find a wife in the future. You should arrange something for me first!"

Yan Jiefang and He Yushui were born in the same year. He Yushui graduated from a technical secondary school and now works in an office at a steel rolling mill, but he doesn't even have a formal job. How can he not be anxious?

Yan Bugui first glanced at Yan Jiecheng and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You are already married and older, so it's just right for you to be released."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng suddenly stood up and shouted, "Why? I'm the eldest, and I should be the first one to be assigned a job! What kind of job doesn't require marriage or age? Are you deliberately not wanting to assign a job to me?"

It's no wonder that Yan Jiecheng got angry. It was indeed because Yan Bugui had gone too far in the previous few times, causing Yan Jiecheng to lose several opportunities.

Yan Jiecheng had just graduated from junior high school. Logically, he could have been arranged a good job by giving him some gifts and activities.

But Yan Bugui was reluctant to do so and insisted on waiting for the street office to make the arrangements. He felt that even if he didn't give any gifts, the street office should still arrange a job for his son.

As a result, almost everyone else had a job, so Yan Jiecheng was the only one left.

Also, if Yan Bugui hadn't been reluctant to spend money, the backyard house where Sha Zhu lives now might have been built by Yan Jiecheng.

Now Yan Jiecheng lives in that shabby and short back house. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, which is simply a torture.

So now Yan Jiecheng is very dissatisfied with his father Yan Bugui. He was so excited after hearing what Yan Bugui said just now.

Yan Bugui said with a dark face: "Sit down! How can you talk to your father like that?"

"This matter is not suitable for you in the first place. Wait until I finish talking and see if you still want to go!"

Qin Jingru pulled on Yan Jiecheng's trouser leg, motioning for him to sit down first.

Yan Jiecheng sat down angrily and watched how Yan Bugui explained.

After taking a sip of water, Yan Bugui repeated He Daqing's words to his family.

After hearing this, Qin Jingru hurriedly said, "You want to go to the countryside? Then Jie Cheng really can't do it. He can't do rural work."

She had managed to escape from the countryside with great difficulty. If she were to be sent back to the countryside now, then what would be the point of her going to the city?

Yan Jiecheng thought about it and nodded, saying, "Indeed, I have never done rural work, and I don't think I would be able to do it even if I go there. I'd better continue to do odd jobs in the city."

Yan Bugui said: "It is appropriate for our family to be liberated now. It will take another year or two to be released. However, it is up to you to decide whether to go for liberation or not."

The youngest, Yan Jie, said, "Dad, if we go to the Northeast, will we really have meat to eat every day? How much meat will be enough?"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "It's impossible to eat meat every day, but it's possible to eat meat every few days. A few years ago, when disasters hit and everyone was sad, I heard that every household in the northeast was eating rice and flour, and many refugees went there."

Yan Jie said with longing: "It's good to be able to eat meat every now and then. We may not even be able to eat meat once a year. I can't believe how good the life is over there."

Not to mention Yan Jie looking at the little kid, even the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva thinking about how he could eat meat every now and then.

Yan Jiefang slammed the table and said loudly: "I'll go. I'll go to the street office to register tomorrow. If I report early, I might have a chance to be assigned to the Northeast. If I report late, I can only be assigned to other places."

The third aunt said reluctantly: "Jiefang, you have to think carefully. It's so far away, it's not convenient to come back once."

Yan Jiefang said nonchalantly, "It's just a few years, isn't it? When I come back and get a job and a house, we can see each other more often."

The children of the Yan family and the Liu family have no sense of belonging to their families. If they were not young and still needed help from their families, they would have run away and gone their own way long ago.

Now that they had such an opportunity and had the support of their families, they readily agreed.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu heard his father Liu Haizhong’s suggestion, they agreed without hesitation.

Liu Haizhong thought that the two brothers listened to him, so he became more friendly towards them.

The next day, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiefang and another young man from the hospital came to the street office under the leadership of Liu Haizhong.

Director Wang was very happy to see these people. He Daqing was still quite reliable. He had just mentioned it yesterday and he came today.

She warmly invited everyone to sit down.

Liu Haizhong said anxiously: "Director Wang, I heard that the higher-ups have given you a task, so I will quickly organize people for you. If you have anything in the future, you can directly notify me, and I will definitely do it beautifully for you!"

When Director Wang heard this, his face was startled and he asked, "Master Liu, please don't mess around. We are taking this on a voluntary basis. You must not force anyone."

Liu Haizhong quickly smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Director Wang, they are definitely willing to go. This kind of good thing is not available to ordinary people. If anyone doesn't want to go, then they have a problem with their brain, right?"

Then he turned around and shouted to Liu Guangtian and the others, "Tell Director Wang if you are here voluntarily. Hurry up!"
