Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 1 Crossing
In the south Luoguxiang of Beijing, Yan Jiecheng was acting very strangely today. He didn't get up after waking up, but just leaned against the headboard in a daze.

He was called several times but he didn't say anything, which scared Yan Fugui who was standing next to him. He thought he was sick from hunger.

Yan Xu looked at his thin body and felt like crying but had no tears.

Now he has confirmed that he has become a member of the vast army of time travelers, and he also knows that his identity is the eldest son of the third uncle Yan Fugui in "The Story of Siheyuan".

"No way, why the Yan family? Anyone who has seen the Siheyuan doesn't know that the Yan family's quality of life is not very good. But since I'm here, I can only accept my fate."

Looking up at the small, dim room, it was very messy. Apart from two wooden beds made of planks, there were all kinds of sundries.

Yan Jiecheng sighed secretly, looked up and said to Yan Fugui beside him.

"Dad, I'm fine. I was just lost in thought."

After hearing Yan Jiecheng speak, Yan Fugui finally felt relieved.

"Jiecheng, don't do this next time. It's scary. Hurry up and get up and eat."

After Yan Fugui left, Yan Jiecheng began to sort out the extra memories in his mind.

After sorting it out, Yan Jiecheng found that his original body was really a waste.

I failed the high school entrance exam and went to look for a job, but my expectations were too high and I didn't like this job and didn't want to do that job.

You have to remember that this was 1960, the second year of the Three Years of Hardship.

Jobs are extremely valuable, and opportunities are fleeting.

Just as Yan Jiecheng was picking and choosing, all the jobs that he had originally looked down upon were no longer available.

In desperation, Yan Jiecheng could only make a living by doing odd jobs on the street.

After understanding the situation of his original body, a "beep" sound suddenly rang in Yan Jiecheng's mind, and he disappeared from the spot and appeared in an unfamiliar space.

Yan Jiecheng looked at everything familiar in front of him and couldn't help but murmur.

Could this be the golden finger that is essential for the countless time-traveling armies?
This is so cool, it's unbelievable.

It turned out that the place where Yan Jiecheng was was actually a large supermarket.

After calming down, Yan Jiecheng started shopping in the supermarket.

Although the entire supermarket only has one floor, it is quite large and sells all kinds of goods.

Not only does it have a wide variety of fresh food areas, it also has a complete range of clothing, home furnishings, and food.

After understanding the situation in the supermarket, Yan Jiecheng appeared at home again with a thought.

"Jie Cheng, what are you still dawdling about? Come out and eat quickly, and then get back to work."

Hearing this sudden voice, Yan Jiecheng knew that it was the original body's mother Yang Ruihua. In order to avoid nagging, he quickly responded and came to the living room.

"Brother, why did you come just now? I'm hungry."

Yan Jiecheng touched the head of the third brother Jie Kuang and sat down in his seat without saying a word.

At this time, Yan's mother brought a basin of corn paste and began to distribute it to everyone.

Except for Jie Di who was still young and only had half a bowl of corn paste, the rest of the people had a bowl of corn paste and a sweet potato, which was very average.

After drinking a mouthful of corn paste, Yan Jiecheng felt a lump in his throat.

This is too disgusting.

However, after seeing that everyone else was eating with gusto, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue drinking.

As the saying goes, a young boy can eat his father to death. Yan Jiefang is eleven years old this year, and Yan Jiekuang is eight years old. They are both old enough to eat.

After a while, the two of them finished their own portions and stared at the others eating.

Feeling the gazes of his two sons, Yan Fugui could only speak helplessly.

"Don't stare. There's nothing wrong with staring. Everyone's portion is the same. Don't run around when you go to school later, and try not to exercise. You'll get hungry quickly."

After all, they are his adopted brothers. Yan Jiecheng couldn't stand seeing their little expressions, and it just so happened that he was not used to the food either.

So he cut the sweet potato he hadn't eaten yet into two halves and put them into their bowls. Yan Jiecheng's behavior shocked them all.

"Brother, are you really giving it to us?"

Seeing Yan Jiefang's look of disbelief, Yan Jiecheng touched his head and said.

"Eat quickly, and then go to school."

After receiving the confirmation reply, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang couldn't wait to pick up the half sweet potato in the bowl and start to eat it.

Yan Fugui was also very surprised by his eldest son's behavior. He was stunned for a long time before he spoke to his wife beside him.

"Ruihua, add two more spoonfuls of water when cooking tomorrow."

Hearing Yan Fugui's words, Yan Jiefang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said.

"Dad, Jie Kuang is just the right time to eat. What's the point of just adding water? You have to add more corn flour."

Yan Jiecheng called "Dad" very naturally, without any embarrassment at all.

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. Relationships aren't about spending your money. If we didn't plan for life in this situation, you guys would have starved to death long ago."

Well, after hearing what Yan Fugui said, Yan Jiecheng could only keep silent.

After a quick breakfast, Yan Jiecheng said goodbye to his family and went out to work.

According to his original body's memory, Yan Jiecheng walked for more than half an hour and finally arrived at a grain and oil store.

At the side door of the grain and oil store, Yan Jiecheng saw three or five familiar odd-job workers squatting nearby and chatting, so he took out some cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them around.

"Hey, Jie Cheng, the sun rose from the west today."

"Yeah, I didn't expect to be able to smoke the cigarettes you gave me. It's rare."

Faced with everyone's teasing, Yan Jiecheng didn't take it to heart. After all, his original body only knew how to smoke for free but never gave cigarettes to others.

After chatting with a few people for a while, one of them looked at Yan Jiecheng and asked.

"Jie Cheng, today is the last day of my heavy bag-carrying job at the grain and oil store. Any news from now on?"

The work in the grain and oil store is not a long-term job. People are only needed for a few days a month, and everyone is busy looking for the next job.

Yan Jiecheng now has a golden finger in his hand, so he naturally won't rush to work, and said immediately.

"Hey, you guys don't know me yet. There's no good way. I work hard when there's work, and I rest when there's no work."

……

A few of them chatted casually like this, and after a while, the person from the grain and oil store came over lazily and opened the side door.

After seeing the person coming, the people around Yan Jiecheng hurriedly took out cigarettes and handed them over.

"Brother Yang, have a cigarette and take a break..."

The man called Brother Yang acted superior. After taking the cigarettes from everyone, he spoke arrogantly.

"Okay, forget about this. Everyone, hurry up and get back to work in the warehouse. Be quick and efficient. We have to finish the work before 4 pm."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After he left, several people began to whisper.

"What the hell? If you don't know, you might think he's the manager of a grain and oil store."

"Who says he isn't? He's just a lackey, but he really thinks he's a big shot."

……

"There's nothing we can do. We're just odd jobs, so let's get to work."

Everyone whispered a few words and then went to the warehouse to start working.
