Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Jia Zhang said, "Huai Ru, you will go to the street office with Bang Geng later."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry!" Then she reminded, "Oh, Mom! Give me a bath ticket. I'll take Banggeng to the bathhouse to take a bath and get a haircut. Then I'll take him to the street office. No matter what, it's important to leave a good impression on the street office."

"Yes!" Jia Zhang didn't care about other things, but she cared a lot about her grandson's future. Jia Zhang walked into the inner room, took out a bath ticket and a few cloth tickets, and said, "Huai Ru, go buy some cloth later and make a new set of clothes for Bang Geng."

"Hey!" Qin Huairu took the ticket, looked at Bang Geng, and said, "Take a break first, I'll call you later."

Banggeng nodded and said, "Mom! You and grandma, please talk to me! Has our courtyard changed a lot in the past few years since I left?!"

Jia Zhang said, "The changes are not that big. It's still pretty much the same as before. Only Liu Haizhong is no longer the steward. Yan Bugui is the only steward left in our courtyard."

When Bang Geng heard Jia Zhang mention Yan Bugui, he showed a hint of disgust on his face. Bang Geng said, "How can a stingy guy like Yan Bugui still be the manager?!"

Jia Zhang said: "It's Liu Haizhong's bad luck."

Qin Huairu asked: "Bang Geng, now that you are back, what are your plans for the future?!"

Bang Geng replied: "What can I plan to do? I'll just stay at home and wait until I'm old enough to take over your job."

Qin Huairu is a white lotus after all, and her mentality is absolutely first-class. As soon as Banggeng said this, Qin Huairu's heart tightened, but there was nothing abnormal on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, "Okay! In a few years, when you are old enough, Mom will give you the job."

"That's good!" When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's answer, she immediately showed a satisfied smile on her face, echoed a sentence, and then said: "My son Banggeng has been smart since he was young. He will work in the factory, find a good master, and learn the craft for two years. After learning the craft well, his salary will increase. Then find a wife and give me a great-grandson. My life will be complete. Even if he goes to the underworld, he can give an explanation to the ancestors of the Jia family."

Qin Huairu muttered to herself, "You still have to explain to your ancestors of the Jia family? You are the eternal sinner of the Jia family!" Then Qin Huairu echoed, "Mom, you are in such good health, not to mention your great-grandson, maybe even your great-great-grandson can see it." Then she changed the subject and said, "But, Mom! When Dongxu was here, his work grade could not be promoted. It's not because he didn't work hard enough, but because he didn't have enough education and couldn't understand the blueprints. I don't think it's a good thing for Banggeng to stay at home all the time. It's better to let him go to school. There's nothing wrong with learning more."

When Bang Geng heard Qin Huairu asking him to go to school, he frowned unconsciously and said, "Mom! I don't want to go to school."

Qin Huairu replied: "Do you really want to be like me and only get 32 yuan a month?!"

Jia Zhang added, "Yes! Let's not talk about Yi Zhonghai, let's talk about Zhu Tianyou next door to Yi Zhonghai. His father retired due to a work-related injury two years ago. He took over because he was a junior high school student and knew how to read blueprints. Now, after two years, he is a third-level worker. He gets 48 yuan a month. Your father died of a work-related injury, and he is studying in the factory's children's primary school, and he doesn't have to pay tuition. It's such a good thing, why not do it?!"

Bang Geng thought about it and realized that it was true. After hesitating for a few seconds, Bang Geng agreed: "Okay! Then I will go to study."

A little after 1 p.m., Qin Huairu took Banggeng out. They first went to a bathhouse not far from the courtyard. Because it was daytime, there were not many people in the bathhouse. At this time, haircuts and baths are mostly done at the same time. Banggeng got his hair cut first, then took a bath. After being busy for almost an hour, they finally came out of the bathhouse.

After returning home and putting away the dirty clothes, Qin Huairu accompanied Banggeng to the street office again.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?!" Qin Huairu and Banggeng had just arrived at the gate of the street office when they were stopped by the gatekeeper.

Qin Huairu replied: "Uncle, is Director Wang here?!"

The gatekeeper said, "Director Wang just came back. You guys go in! It's the west wing of the central courtyard."

"Hey!" Qin Huairu responded and walked in with the stick.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Qin Huairu reached the door of Wang Xia's office and knocked on it.

Wang Xia shouted, “Come in!”

Qin Huairu pushed the door open with a stick and walked into the office, calling out, "Director Wang!"

Wang Xia heard the shouting and saw Qin Huairu and her son. She asked, "Qin Huairu, why are you here? What do you want from me?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "Director Wang, my son Banggeng is back today." Then Qin Huairu took the release certificate from Banggeng and handed it to Wang Xia.

Wang Xia took Banggeng's release certificate, looked at it, and said, "I was notified about your son's matter two days ago. Although your son has performed well this time, he is still a long way from being truly reformed. The higher-ups released him early because he is still young and has a chance to change. According to regulations, Banggeng must come to the neighborhood office at 3 o'clock every Wednesday afternoon to receive an hour of ideological education. He must submit a summary of his thoughts once a month. As for when he doesn't need to come, it's up to him."

"Got it, Director Wang! We will definitely come on time." Qin Huairu echoed, and then asked: "Director Wang, it turns out that Banggeng's household registration is with me in the countryside. My household registration has been moved here. So how do I solve the problem of my son's household registration?!"

Wang Xia replied, "I followed you then, and I still follow you now. Just take your release certificate and household registration booklet to the household registration window of the public security bureau to handle it." Then Wang Xia looked at Bang Geng and said, "Jia Geng, your mother has had a hard time. You must not make mistakes again in the future."

"Minding my business!" Banggeng muttered to himself, and said lightly, "I know."

Wang Xia frowned unconsciously when she saw Banggeng's reaction. She felt that this child was hopeless. Because Banggeng left a bad impression on Wang Xia today. Two years later, Wang Xia sent Banggeng on a train to Xinjiang Province. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

After leaving the street office, Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng speechlessly without saying much. She took Banggeng to get her household registration done before the police station got off work.

A little after four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Huairu came back with Banggeng. When Qin Huairu saw Yan Bugui, she called out, "Third Uncle!"

Yan Bugui heard the shout, turned his head to look at Qin Huairu, then looked at Banggeng and asked, "Banggeng is back?!"

Qin Huairu glanced at Bang Geng and agreed with a smile, "He's back! Just came back today. I took him to handle the paperwork. Fortunately, we went early this afternoon and everything was done. Tomorrow we'll go to the factory's children's school and get him enrolled."

"As you should! Studying is a big deal, we can't be careless!" Yan Bugui watched Qin Huairu and Banggeng walk past him, then quickly returned home and said, "Yang Ruihua, let me tell you. Banggeng hasn't changed at all, but has become worse. We have to keep an eye on our things at home. Don't let him steal anything."
