Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

After leaving the big leader's house, Yan Jiefang took some time to go to Hong Kong and asked his father-in-law Lou Zhenhua to find a warehouse for him, and he put the grain he bought for free into the warehouse.

When Yan Jiefang was about to use his own ocean-going freighter to transport the grain, he received a notice from the top leader that he could send a cargo ship over.

Yan Jiefang did not refuse and agreed directly. He had to burn his own fuel to drive an ocean-going freighter.

Yan Jiefang estimated that the grain that could be purchased for zero yuan weighed about 300,000 kilograms. He asked his father-in-law Lou Zhenhua to negotiate for him. After handing over the grain to the personnel sent from the inland, the cargo ship loaded with grain headed for the mainland.

Time passed quickly and quietly arrived at the chaotic decade.

Yan Jiefang originally thought that with his arrangement, no one would jump out to cause trouble. But he was wrong, the actual degree of chaos was beyond his imagination.

The students of his father's school went on strike, so Yan Bugui, as a teacher, had to suspend classes and stay home, while the student Red Guards roamed every corner of the street.

The order of life was disrupted by them. Yan Jiefang didn't want to go out on the streets anymore and stayed at home with his two wives every day.

What he didn't expect was that the big leader was still affected by the public opinion. Some people above him were jealous of the cooperation with Lou Zhenhua led by the big leader, so they directly sidelined the big leader and prepared to reap the benefits.

What’s even more hateful is that they are too greedy and want to lower the price of materials that Lou Zhenhua sells to the mainland.

Yan Jiefang was also helpless when he received the news. If he really followed the price offered by the mainland, he would be doing a losing business. If it happened twice, he would go bankrupt.

Think about the current situation in the mainland. Although food is still scarce, the famine situation has improved. It is no longer as severe as it was during the three-year disaster. Although we cannot eat well, we can still eat our fill.

When I returned to the courtyard, as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Liu Haizhong speaking in the yard in a careless manner. At this time, Liu Haizhong was flattering Li Huaide and became Li Huaide's "general". Relying on the name of the Revolutionary Committee, he had become the de facto boss of the courtyard.

At this time, Xu Damao did not have the Lou family as a token of his allegiance and did not gain Li Huaide's trust, so naturally his status was not very good.

Seeing Liu Haizhong showing off his authority at the whole hospital meeting, Yan Jiefang didn't want to offend Liu Haizhong, so he smiled and said in a servile manner: "Team Leader Liu, I'm sorry I'm late. You are a generous person, please don't bother with me, a small worker."

Liu Haizhong's anger immediately disappeared, as Yan Jiefang's words touched his heart.

Liu Haizhong's lifelong dream was to become an official, and the fact that someone spoke to him in such a humbly satisfied his vanity.

"Okay, okay, I will not hold grudges against you. You should stand aside."

Seeing Liu Haizhong pretending to be a big leader, Yan Jiefang walked to Yan Bugui respectfully on the surface, but he had an idea in his mind and decided to go out and avoid the limelight!

Liu Haizhong talked a lot of nonsense for half an hour, but not a single useful word was said.

After returning home, Yan Bugui pushed his glasses, which were taped shut, with his hand, sighed deeply, and said to himself, "How did the world become like this!"

Yan's mother glanced at her husband, knowing his distress, and advised: "Old Yan, please be optimistic. This situation may soon pass."

Ha ha!

Yan Jiefang sneered in his heart, curled his lips unconsciously, looked around the family in the room, and said, "Dad, Mom, this place will definitely not calm down in a short time."

"Workers in the factory went on strike, students boycotted classes, and all went to make revolution. Those intellectuals were driven to the countryside to live in cow sheds and were criticized. Is there anyone who is still willing to work peacefully?"

"I plan to take Yu Shui to Hong Kong to stay there for a few years. I'll come back when things are stable here."

Yan Jiefang said calmly, not paying attention to the expressions of his parents and others. Under their shocked gazes, he continued, "I had some connections the last time I went there. Life there is relatively open. Although it's a bit chaotic and dangerous, it's not like the intrigues here."

"You know the situation in our courtyard. Qin Huairu from the central courtyard married Yi Zhonghai, a green tea bitch and a hypocrite. Add to that the thief's stick and the necromancer Jia Zhangshi. Liu Haizhong from the backyard is a bureaucrat with strong limbs and a simple mind. For the sake of performance, can he make our courtyard safe?"

"What are your plans? Do you want to go with me? I can find you a job there and arrange a place for you to live."

Yan Bugui glanced at his son, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Yan Bugui didn't say anything, but Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang and others agreed immediately.

Thanks to Yan Jiefang's efforts, several people got jobs and were able to work in the factory.

But the workers in the factory were all revolting, and almost no wages were paid. If it weren't for Yan Jiefang's prior instructions and Yan Bugui's intervention, these young people would have joined the Liu brothers in revolt.

Seeing that his children agreed and his wife's expectant eyes, Yan Bugui thought it over again and again and finally agreed.

Although as a Chinese he is reluctant to leave his homeland, when faced with this choice, he still chooses to stand with his children.

Since his family was planning to move away, his brother-in-law He Yuzhu from the Intermediate Court must also be notified.

I thought He Yuzhu would readily agree to leave with me, but the result was unexpected. He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye flatly refused.

Moreover, they plan to move out of the courtyard house. After all, their house is a private property with a property certificate, so they are not afraid of being occupied by others.

After giving everything away and saying goodbye to all the friends he knew, he and He Yushui quit their jobs at the steel mill and quietly left the city with their whole family for Hong Kong, waiting to come back again when the reform and opening up came.

The book is finished.
