Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

At the same time, Su Zilong arrived at the Resettlement Office for Demobilized Soldiers. Su Zihui took out her materials and handed them to the staff. Because she had informed them in advance, Su Zilong quickly got the allocation list. After leaving the resettlement office, Su Zilong rushed to the Dongcheng District Taxation Bureau.

At about 95: in the morning, Su Zilong appeared at the gate of No. Nanluoguxiang with cigarettes, alcohol, snacks and canned fruits bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. Just when Su Zilong was hesitating whether to go in, Su Zihui, who was about to go back to the house to make milk powder for her child, saw Su Zilong.

Su Zihui immediately ran to the door, saw what Su Zilong was holding, and asked, "Second brother, why are you here dressed like this today?!"

Su Zilong asked: "Is Jie Di at home?!"

"Yes! I'll go call her for you!" Su Zihui said before she ran in without waiting for Su Zilong to react. Not long after, Yan Jiedi came out of the yard and asked, "Have you finished your business?!"

Su Zilong replied: "It's done! I was assigned to the Dongcheng District Taxation Bureau."

Yan Jiedi urged with a smile: "Don't stand at the door! Come in!"

"Hey!" Su Zilong was waiting for Yan Jiedi to say this. He responded readily and followed Yan Jiedi into the courtyard gate.

"Jie Di, who is this man?!" The neighbors asked curiously when they saw Yan Jie Di coming in with a man.

Yan Jie Di replied, "My boyfriend is coming today!" Then Yan Jie Di pulled Su Zilong and ran to her home. After entering the main hall, Yan Jie Di shouted, "Dad, Zilong is here!"

Yan Bugui, who was watching TV, heard his daughter say that her boyfriend had come. Yan Bugui immediately turned off the TV, turned his head to look at Su Zilong, and greeted with a smile: "Zilong is here!"

"Uncle!" Su Zilong greeted him, put the things in his hand on the table, and said, "This is a little gift from me, please accept it."

Yan Bugui glanced at the things on the table, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You are thoughtful!" Then he looked at Yan Jiedi and said, "What are you still standing there for?! Are you pouring water for your partner?!"

"Oh!" Yan Jiedi responded obediently and made a cup of malted milk for Su Zilong.

Yan Bugui took a look at the contents of the cup in front of Su Zilong, and felt so distressed! But no matter how distressed he was, he could only bear it. Who made him say such a bad thing and let his daughter pour the water?! If it was his wife, it wouldn't be so strong.

Su Zilong picked up the cup, took a sip of malted milk, adjusted his mood, and said, "Uncle, I came here today just to tell you about Jie Di and me. I hope you can agree to marry Jie Di to me."

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiedi, who was standing at the side with her head down, torturing the corner of her clothes. He sighed silently in his heart and thought to himself, "Girls really can't be kept when they grow up!"

Yan Jiedi seemed to sense someone was looking at her, and she raised her head unconsciously and looked at Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui said, "Find a time, ask your parents to come over, and we'll discuss the time for your wedding."

"Hey!" Su Zilong responded readily. Yan Bugui warned, "I'm telling you! If you dare to treat my daughter badly, I'll skin you alive!"

Su Zilong promised solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry! I will treat Jie Di well. I will never let her suffer!"

Yan Bugui said: "I have no other requirements. You just need to do the same as my Jie Kuang."

The third aunt saw that the matter had been discussed and shouted, "Jie Kuang!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang ran into the main room and asked, "Mom, what's going on?!"

The third aunt said, "Go buy a roast duck and some cooked vegetables."

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, secretly glanced at Su Zilong and Yan Jiedi, turned around and left the hall. He went to the kitchen to get a lunch box, and rode Su Zihui's bicycle out.

Yan Jiekuang had just left when Yan Jiefang came back. After parking Yan Jiekuang's bicycle, he walked to Yang Xuemei who was watching the children in the yard and asked, "Wife, what's going on?!"

Yang Xuemei asked: "Why did you come back just now?!"

Yan Jiefang said: "After I got the TV back, I installed it. I have to say, the TV that Jie Kuang got is of good quality. The screen is also bigger than the one next door."

Yang Xuemei said, "Your sister's boyfriend is here."

Yan Jiefang glanced into the main hall and said, "I never thought that in the blink of an eye, the little girl back then is now old enough to get married."

Yang Xuemei asked, "What do you think we should give Jie Di when she gets married?!"

When Yan Jiefang heard his wife's question, he thought about it and said, "When your sister got married, we gave her a big gift. When Jie Di gets married, we can't be partial. Let's put it this way! Jie Di already has a bicycle and a TV. Let's give her a sewing machine as a dowry!"

"Okay! I'll do as you say." Yang Xuemei readily agreed, and then reminded: "But our family is short of a sewing plane ticket."

Yan Jiefang said: "Don't worry about the ticket. I will find a way."

The conversation between Yan Jiefang and his wife happened to be heard by Yan Jiedi and Su Zilong. Su Zilong thought to himself, "I didn't expect their family to prepare so many things?!" Then Su Zilong remembered that Su Zihui's family didn't seem to give anything when she got married, and suddenly he felt upset. He decided to go back and talk to his family about this today. By the way, he would make up for the things given to Su Zihui. After all, their family conditions are good. They can't be compared with the Yan family, right? ! People in the city of Sijiu pay attention to face, let alone the people in their compound. If people knew that Su Zihui's family didn't give a dowry when she got married, their family's face would be trampled on by others.

Yan Jiedi's idea was different from Su Zilong's. She thought the two brothers were so awesome. She secretly made up her mind to treat the two brothers and sister-in-law well.

After lunch, Yan Jie Di was taken out by Su Zilong. Yan Bugui and the third aunt went to take a nap. Yang Xuemei and Su Zihui also went to coax the children to sleep. The two brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang sat in the yard smoking. After smoking a cigarette, Yan Jiefang asked, "Jiekuang, do you have any plane tickets for sewing here?!"

"Yes!" Yan Jiekuang took out a stack of tickets from his trouser pocket, found a sewing ticket and handed it to Yan Jiefang, and asked: "What do you want the sewing ticket for?!"

Yan Jiefang said, "Isn't Jie Di getting married soon? You prepared a bicycle and a TV for her. I discussed with my wife and decided to buy her a sewing machine. But I'm short of a sewing machine ticket."

Yan Jiekuang joked: "You are really generous as the second brother?!"

Yan Jiefang said: "I treat everyone equally. When my wife's sister got married, I put together a big gift for her. I can't be stingy when my own sister gets married, right?!"

"That's true!" Yan Jiekuang agreed and asked, "How is your work going now?!"

Yan Jiefang replied, "It's OK. But I always feel that the current factory is unreliable. It just so happens that I know a leader of the Sijiucheng Cigarette Factory. I plan to change my job to the cigarette factory. When I have established a firm foothold there, I will transfer my wife there as well."

Yan Jiekuang said: "The cigarette factory is good! Other factories may close down, but the cigarette factory may not."

Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Jie Kuang, you are not talking nonsense, are you?! The factory will be closed?!"
