Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Okay! I won't worry! As long as my family isn't hungry, I won't worry!" Yan Bugui said this, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Fortunately, Jie Kuang is different from Jie Cheng and Jie Fang, otherwise, I would have lived at least ten years less. What sin have I committed? I actually have two troublesome sons. Forget it, it seems that Yan Jie Kuang can only be the head of the Yan family in the future!"

The third aunt couldn't help but ask, "Jie Kuang, do you have anything delicious in your house?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked back: "Mom, what do you want to eat?!"

The third aunt was immediately stumped by the question. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Do you have any canned meat?"

"Yes!" Yan Jiekuang replied with a smile, and said, "They are all canned food from Modu Merlin. If you want to eat some, I'll get them for you now."

"No need!" The third aunt hurriedly stopped Yan Jiekuang and said, "I just asked casually. A few days ago, the old Ma family at the entrance of the alley. His eldest son was serving in the army. He sent him a can of luncheon meat. Old Ma was so happy that he told everyone about it. I have never tasted canned food and what it tastes like, so I just asked casually."

"It's just a few cans, no big deal! I'll get them for you later. You and my dad shouldn't be stingy. Just have the cans as a midnight snack and drink some wine, and then you can give me a younger brother or sister." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang made a weird face at Yan Bugui and his wife, and then quickly left the hall.

Looking at Yan Jiekuang's back, Yan Bugui muttered, "This kid is becoming more and more lawless. Let's see how I'm going to deal with him in the future?!"

The third aunt smiled and asked, "Are you willing to do that?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "I'm willing to give it up! How could I not be willing to give it up?!" However, the more he spoke, the softer Yan Bugui's voice became, as if he lacked confidence.

The third aunt smiled and didn't say much. When she was about to wash the dishes, Yan Jiekuang walked in from outside, put the cloth bag in his hand on the table, turned around and walked out again.

The three aunts opened the cloth bag and saw the cans inside. Their eyes lit up immediately. Although Yan Jiekuang brought several cans, the contents of each can were different. There were luncheon meat, braised pork, four-happiness roasted gluten, etc. These cans were enough to prepare a nice banquet.

Yan Bugui put down the can and said, "Old lady, you must not tell anyone that Jie Kuang was able to get the stuff. If outsiders find out, it will not only be bad, but will bring you trouble."

The third aunt replied: "I know about this. Don't worry!"

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, the third aunt had a simple breakfast and rushed to the hospital. Yan Bugui was not going out today, so Yan Jiekuang did not have to take care of Yan Jiedi. After breakfast, Yan Jiekuang went out. A little after ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Jiekuang came back on his bicycle with two large sacks of things.

"Jiekuang, what's in the sack?!" Yan Bugui walked up to Yan Jiekuang and asked him when he pushed his bicycle into the courtyard gate and was about to unload the things. The neighbors who were chatting at the door also came in out of curiosity.

Yan Jiekuang unloaded the sacks from the car and said as he opened them, "I had nothing to do, so I went to the recycling station. You know what, I was lucky today. I got a few electric fans back."

Yan Bugui took a look at the things in the sack and asked, "Jie Kuang, can this electric fan be used?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It can't be used now. It will be usable once it's repaired. I just took a quick look and it's not a big problem. The main problem is that the wires are aging. As long as you replace the wires and clean them, it will be usable. Dad, please help me look after the things first." After that, Yan Jiekuang picked up a sack and walked towards his room.

Old Sun stared at the sack at Yan Bugui's feet and asked, "Old Yan, your son must have spent a lot of money to get these things back?! Are you just going to let him do whatever he wants?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "If the child likes to play with these things, let him do it. It doesn't cost much money. He can stay at home and concentrate. It's better than going out and causing trouble."

"That's true!" Old Sun agreed sourly, sighed and turned away. Yan Bugui looked at Old Sun's back and thought to himself, "You?! You want to sow discord between me and my son?! No way!"

After a while, Yan Jiekuang came out and carried another sack back to the house. After putting the things away, Yan Jiekuang locked the door, walked up to Yan Bugui, and asked, "Dad, will Mom be home at noon?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "No. Shazhu will bring food to your mother and his wife."

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, and then asked: "Do you want to ask He Yushui to come over for lunch at noon?!"

Yan Bugui said, "He Yushui went out right after you. She said she went to the library. She's grown up, there's no need for us to worry about her. Besides, your second brother went out too, so there are only three of us eating lunch." Then Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and asked, "Did you bring back any food?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled mysteriously and said, "Dad, don't worry about me at noon. I'll go back to my room and fix the fan. Tell me if you're hungry."

"Okay! Go ahead! I'll go see Jie Di." Yan Bugui said as he walked out of the courtyard gate. Yan Jiekuang locked his bicycle and went back to the house. After closing the door, Yan Jiekuang walked to the window, looked outside, and then took out a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of pot-fried pork, and a plate of shredded potatoes from the space, put the three dishes into three lunch boxes, and then took out six large steamed buns. After putting the lunch boxes and steamed buns on the desk, Yan Jiekuang took out a table fan from the sack and started fiddling with it.

The outer shell of electric fans in this era is made of iron and is very heavy. Yan Jiekuang took out a can of rust remover and sprayed it on all the screws of the electric fan. After a while, Yan Jiekuang took out a screwdriver and disassembled the electric fan in order.

About half an hour later, Yan Bugui came in from outside and saw Yan Jiekuang installing the fan blades. He asked, "Is this fan finished?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I don't know yet. I'll know when the power is turned on." After that, Yan Jiekuang installed the protective net outside the blades, plugged the plug of the electric fan into the socket, and turned on the electric fan switch. Not long after, the blades of the electric fan slowly began to turn. As the gear changed, the fan blades turned faster and faster.

Yan Bugui enjoyed the cool breeze from the fan and said with a smile: "Jie Kuang, you are really skillful with your hands?!"

Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes at Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, electric fans are good things, but they use electricity. And electricity costs money."

Yan Bugui said: "Electricity costs money, but the fan is only used for two or three months, so it doesn't cost much."

Yan Jiekuang said, "This time I brought back two table fans and one electric fan. I'll fix the electric fan and install it in the main room. As for the remaining table fan, I'll fix it, so you can put it wherever you want!"

Yan Bugui immediately showed a bright smile on his face, and just as he was about to praise Yan Jiekuang, a fragrance suddenly entered Yan Bugui's nose. Yan Bugui looked in the direction of the fragrance and saw three lunch boxes and six steamed buns on the table, his eyes widened.

Yan Bugui asked: "Jie Kuang, where did the lunch box come from?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Where else could it have come from? Of course I bought it myself."
