Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Because Yan Jiefang exceeded the task for this month, there was no need for him to follow the routine and wait for the end of get off work in the factory. Instead, after entering the money into the account and getting the money approved by the finance department, he went straight back to the courtyard where the purchased materials were stored.

By the time they arrived at the courtyard, the young men from Liujia Village had already loaded the car and left. He took out the key to open the door, put all the purchased goods into the space, and released the living rabbits and pheasants directly into the forest. He knew that by the next month, the space would be overrun with rabbits and pheasants.

He closed the gate and headed towards the Red Star Courtyard, carrying a two-pound pheasant and a three-pound rabbit in his hands.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard and was about to go in, he was discovered by his father who was guarding the gate. The first thing that caught Yan Bugui's eyes was the pheasant and the hare, followed by Yan Jiefang who was carrying the pheasant and the hare.

Yan Bugui looked around and when he saw that no one was looking at him, he quickly walked up to Yan Jiefang and took him home.

The two men quickly ran into the house, snatched the pheasant and rabbit from Yan Jiefang's hands, and turned around to hand them to their mother.

After my mother took the thing from Yan Bugui's hand, she was in a trance for a while, then she guessed what had happened and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.

Yan Bugui had a question in his mind since last night, so he asked with a straight face, "Jiefang, explain to me, what did you and Shazhu do last night? Shazhu even bought some meat from the black market when he came back."

Yan Bugui was not sure where He Yuzhu got the meat from, so he lied to him.

Yan Jiefang was also stunned after hearing this. He looked at his father's serious expression carefully, and was not sure how much he knew. He thought that he might just know that he and He Yuzhu had entered the black market. If he did not come back frequently in the future, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from his family.

Yan Jiefang thought for a while and planned to make up some other news, so he said: "In order to facilitate shopping, I rented a house near Zhengyangmen. Yesterday, I went to the black market with He Yuzhu to see if there was any meat for sale. He Yuzhu bought a piece of meat from the black market and came back. I went back to the house I rented and spent the night there."

The corners of Yan Bugui's mouth curled up slightly, and he felt a little proud. He sighed in his heart that he was still too young and he said it out loud as soon as he lied.

He quickly concealed his smug look and asked again, "Then He Yushui also went out with you two. It was Shazhu who came back by herself at night. Does she live with you?"

Hearing what his father said, he suddenly felt guilty and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, then quickly concealed his panic and guilt.

She pretended to be calm and said, "How could she live with me? She went to her classmate's house to play and stayed there."

But how could he escape the observation of the old fox Yan Bugui? Yan Bugui caught him the moment he felt guilty, with the corner of his mouth raised, looking as if everything was planned.

Because Yan Jiefang and He Yushui both worked in the steel rolling mill, some of them were formal employees, and in another half a year Yan Jiefang would be old enough to get a marriage certificate. He didn't mind if his son and He Yushui had anything going on, as long as they didn't get caught in public. It didn't matter if they did it secretly at home.

Since Yan Jiefang didn't make it clear, Yan Bugui couldn't continue. He glanced at Yan Jiefang and said, "Just be careful. You're not a child anymore. You should think about what you should and shouldn't do. Just don't get anyone killed before you get married."

Yan Jiefang didn't know what his father meant at first, but after he said the last sentence, dozens of divine beasts ran through Yan Jiefang's mind, and Yan Jiefang's face unconsciously darkened.

Suddenly, Yan Bugui changed the subject and said calmly, "Since you have rented a house, are you going to move out? Have you bought furniture for your new home? If not, I'll give you a set of furniture from home, so it'll be easier for you to ask."

Hearing what Yan Bugui said, Yan Jiefang knew that his father's calculating nature had come back, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Is he going to sell the used furniture he picked up from outside to his son to make money?

Sure enough, just as Yan Jiefang thought, Yan Bugui continued, "A new set of furniture costs dozens of yuan. I'll give you these at a lower price. I'll believe it if you give me 20 yuan."

Hearing that it would cost twenty, Yan Jiefang couldn't help but complain: "Dad, people outside say that you are a Yan Laoxi, and it's really true."

"Look at your bed and the cabinet. They will fall apart if you kick them. And that lame table and those hairy stools. I'm afraid I'll fall off my butt if I sit on them. How dare you ask me to take twenty dollars?"

"Even if you sell it to someone else for five dollars, no one will want it. How about selling it to your son for twenty dollars? What are you thinking?"

"Forehead!"

Yan Bugui blushed and felt a little embarrassed after being rebuked by Yan Jiefang's words.

To ease the embarrassment, Yan Bugui stopped talking about the furniture and forcibly changed the subject, saying awkwardly: "Do you know what happened this morning?"

Ok?

Judging from my father's tone, I didn't go back to the courtyard all night, and it seemed like I missed a big opportunity!

Yan Jiefang asked curiously, "Dad, what big thing happened this morning?"

Seeing his son's curious expression, Yan Bugui wanted to put on airs and tease him, but he was not in a hurry to say it.

Yan Jiefang's eyes twitched involuntarily. He glanced at Yan Jiekuang who had just returned from school and shouted to him, "Jiekuang, come here. I'll give you two pieces of White Rabbit candies. Tell me what happened in our courtyard this morning?"

Upon hearing about White Rabbit milk candy, Yan Jiefang's originally slow pace immediately quickened. He came in front of Yan Jiefang and described He Yuzhu's heroic deeds vividly like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Yan Bugui, who was standing nearby and trying to take advantage of Yan Jiefang's curiosity, was dumbfounded. Instead of taking advantage, he made himself even more embarrassed.

He ignored the two brothers, turned around and walked home with an embarrassed face.

Yan Jiekuang, who had just come over, was stunned by Yan Bugui's action. He looked at Yan Jiefang and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with Dad? Did he fail in his plan to plot against someone again? Are you in a bad mood?"

Yan Jiefang was also laughing in his heart, but he tried hard not to laugh out loud. He took out a piece of White Rabbit from his pocket and handed it to Yan Jiekuang, calling him to go into the house together.
