Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Old Yan's honey-glazed braised pork. Yesterday we not only hunted two big ones, but also a small one. Yesterday at midnight, while everyone was asleep, I killed the small wild boar. When I cook today, I stewed it. Bring some to your grandparents when I visit them in the evening. Bring them a jar of wine as well."

Su Zihui looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked curiously, "I went to the cowshed several times, but I didn't know which room my grandparents lived in. Do you know which room they live in?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "While we were building the house, the captain found a few people to expand the cowshed. They built houses with adobe, so they built them faster than ours. The house was completed two days ago. I went to check it out. Our grandparents live in the one near the bamboo fence."

“You’re really thoughtful, aren’t you?!” Su Zihui smiled and slapped Yan Jiekuang in the face for a while, then suddenly realized what was going on and said, “When did my grandparents become yours?!”

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Do you want to abandon me after having sex with me?"

"What do you mean by abandoning someone after having sex with them?! I haven't even married you yet!" Su Zihui's face turned red again. Yan Jiekuang looked at Su Zihui seriously and said, "If you're dating someone without the intention of getting married, you're just being a hooligan."

"Hmph! I won't talk to you anymore!" Su Zihui ran out of the kitchen. Yan Jiekuang looked at Su Zihui's back and laughed unconsciously, muttering, "It's quite fun to tease this girl when you have nothing to do."

The waiting time is always long. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening, when it was almost completely dark, that Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang went out. However, Yan Jiekuang and his companions did not go through the main gate, but through the side gate that Yan Jiekuang had specially requested to be opened when the fence was being built. After going out, Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui soon arrived near the cowshed.

Looking at the nearby cowshed, Yan Jiekuang pointed to the cowshed with an open window and said, "See that room? Your grandpa and grandma live in that room. Go over there and throw a small stone in there to lure your grandpa and grandma out." Then he reminded, "Remember, be careful. Don't alarm others."

"Yeah!" Su Zihui responded, picked up a small stone, and quietly walked towards the location Yan Jiekuang pointed to her.

After about five or six minutes, Ding Huawei, who was lying on the kang and chatting with his wife, heard the sound of stones falling to the ground. He immediately climbed up from the kang, ran to the window in two steps, looked out in the faint moonlight, and saw Su Zihui waving at him.

At this time, Gu Ruoxue also climbed up from the kang and asked, "What's the matter?!"

Ding Huawei said: "Our eldest granddaughter is here. I'll go out and take a look first."

Gu Ruoxue said hurriedly: "I'll go out with you too."

Soon, Ding Huawei and Gu Ruoxue ran outside without alerting the others in the cowshed. Su Zihui didn't give Ding Huawei and Gu Ruoxue a chance to talk, and pulled them to Yan Jiekuang's side and asked, "Grandpa, grandma, how are you now?!"

Ding Huawei replied, "We two are pretty good." Then he looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, "You are my granddaughter's boyfriend?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Grandpa, my name is Yan Jiekuang, and I am Su Zihui's boyfriend."

Ding Huawei looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "You're not bad looking. But I'm warning you! If you dare to bully my Xiaohui, I won't let you go even if it costs me my life!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Grandpa, you should keep your life to help us take care of the children in the future."

"Puchi!" Gu Ruoxue couldn't help laughing when she heard Yan Jiekuang's words and said, "You are really quite interesting, young man?!"

Su Zihui said: "Grandpa, we brought you some meat and wine. We also brought some fruit and milk powder for grandma."

When he heard about meat and wine, Ding Huawei's eyes lit up instantly and he asked, "You must have prepared this meat and wine, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "You guys chat here, I'll watch from the side." After that, Yan Jiekuang walked to a rock not far away and sat down.

Ding Huawei glanced at Yan Jiekuang's back and said, "This kid is pretty good."

Su Zihui said, "He is not only good, but also capable." Then Su Zihui took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Ding Huawei, saying, "Grandpa, this is a letter from your uncle."

Ding Huawei took the letter and put it in his pocket, then asked, "There are quite a few people at your educated youth site. Will you be discovered by coming here?!"

Su Zihui pointed to a house not far away and said, "Grandpa, grandma, Brother Jie Kuang and I live over there now. It's close to the cowshed, so we can take care of you if you have any problems."

Gu Ruoxue asked, "Why did you think of building your own house out of nowhere? What are you going to do with this house when you return to the city?!"

Su Zihui replied, "After we return to the city, this house will belong to the brigade. The reason why we chose to build a house and move out is that there will be more and more educated youth in the educated youth site. With more people, there will be more disputes and troubles. We can move out to get away from it. Besides, it is not convenient to make delicious food in the educated youth site."

Gu Ruoxue said: "Xiaohui, it's not easy for you to be here alone. You must take good care of yourself."

Su Zihui smiled and said, "Grandma, you worry too much. We just live in the same yard. I have my house and he has his. When we feel ready to get married, we'll tell you then." Then Su Zihui said to Ding Huawei, "Grandpa, Jie Kuang asked you to find a place and dig a small pit to store things. From now on, put all the things you can't leave outside in this pit. If someone comes to check, as long as they can't find anything, they won't embarrass you."

Ding Huawei said: "You don't have to worry about this. It was already arranged when the cowshed was expanded."

Su Zihui chatted with her grandparents for a while, gave them the things, watched them go back, and then followed Yan Jiekuang back to her residence.

Ding Huawei returned to the house and lit the oil lamp. He touched the extra-large lunch box containing the braised pork and couldn't help but say, "It's still hot?! These two kids are really thoughtful." Then he opened the other two extra-large lunch boxes and saw that one contained steamed buns and the other contained dried meat, fried peanuts and other snacks for drinking.

Ding Huawei said, "Old lady, go check if Lao Jiang and the others are asleep. If not, call them over."

"Hey!" Gu Ruoxue responded and ran out quietly.

About five or six minutes later, Gu Ruoxue came in with a group of people. As soon as Jiang Bidada entered the room, he asked directly: "Old Ding, it's so late, why did you call Old Gu to come over to call us?!" Jiang Bidada saw the dishes on the table, his eyes lit up, and asked: "Where did this come from?!"

Ding Huawei asked everyone to sit down and said, "Where else could it have come from? Of course it was sent by my Xiaohui. Sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone. So I asked my wife to call you over. Let's finish the meat tonight."

Cheng Feng smiled and joked: "There is meat but no wine. Is there something missing?!"

"I knew you would say that! Prepare some wine, Kong Lin!" Ding Huawei took out a jar of earthenware and said, "Is this enough for us to drink?!"
