Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

Chen Jianye visited two households in the morning, went home for lunch, and then went out again in the afternoon.

After visiting two different houses, he arrived at the You family's house in Dongzhimen.

When You Fengxia saw Chen Jianye approaching, a bright smile appeared on her face.

Chen Jianye also brought many gifts for the You family.

For example, candy, cookies, meat, eggs, etc.

Although You Fengxia could buy these things herself, Chen Jianye sent them over as a token of his appreciation.

Chen Jianye chatted with the You family for a while, then accompanied You Fengxia into the master bedroom.

Will you come over for Chinese New Year?

You Fengxia's belly was getting bigger, so she leaned on Chen Jianye's shoulder and hugged his arm.

"I'll come over, but I won't stay long. There's a lot to do during the Lunar New Year."

Chen Jianye said.

You're always so busy.

There was a hint of resentment in You Fengxia's words.

"After this year is over, I will take my team to the port city, and then I will have more time to spend with you."

Chen Jianye said calmly.

"Have you decided?"

You Fengxia lifted her arm from Chen Jianye's shoulder, looking excited.

In Beijing, she would never get ahead in her entire life.

It's not that she lived a hard life, but that she couldn't be officially recognized as Chen Jianye's mistress and could only stay by his side as his mistress.

Her child is born out of wedlock, and she cannot call Chen Jianye "Dad" in public.

You Fengxia could not accept it.

She longed to go to the port city, to stand in the sunlight, and to let Chen Jianye's friends know that she was Chen Jianye's woman, and that her child was also Chen Jianye's child.

"It was decided a long time ago, it was just a matter of time."

"Given the domestic situation, it will most likely be the end of the year."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

"Wherever you go, I will follow you."

You Fengxia hugged Chen Jianye to express her stance.

"What are your plans for Grandma and my younger brother?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"Of course take them with you. Leaving money for them won't be of much use; they'll just be easy targets for other people to bully."

You Fengxia replied without hesitation.

She had thought a lot about going to the port city and had already made up her mind.

"Okay, then it's fine once you've thought it through."

Chen Jianye nodded.

The two embraced tightly and quickly reconnected.

Chen Jianye didn't return to the Ran family until 8 p.m.

The lights in the Ran family's house were all off.

"Why are you back so late?"

Ran Qiuye said with some dissatisfaction.

"Deputy Factory Director Li insisted on keeping me for drinks, so I couldn't leave."

Chen Jianye said casually.

Ran Qiuye had no doubts.

Lying in bed, Chen Jianye had a headache. Once they got to Hong Kong, given You Fengxia's personality, she definitely wouldn't continue being his mistress.

How to handle household chores at that time requires careful consideration from multiple perspectives.

Two women were already overwhelming for Chen Jianye, and he made up his mind not to find a third.

If another woman comes along, his backyard will be constantly embroiled in conflict, and he won't have to do anything else.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Jianye visited the Mei family with gifts.

Mei Yubo's three children, two of whom came back home, usually work in other places and rarely come back.

This was the first time Chen Jianye had ever met them.

They learned about Chen Jianye, their distant cousin, from Mei Yubo.

Chen Jianye had lunch with the Mei family, and then spent the afternoon at the You family's house.

After visiting several leaders, he didn't have much time to go out, so naturally he couldn't spend much time with You Fengxia.

You Fengxia didn't seem to care much.

She was already planning what to do after she went to the port city.

At most, I'd suffer a year of hardship in Beijing; it wouldn't be a big problem.

That's how people are; if they have something to look forward to, they can accept even if they suffer injustice now.

Chen Jianye spent the Lunar New Year with the Ran family and had a reunion dinner.

When Ran Qiuye was in the first year of junior high school, she wanted to go home, so the Chen family of three returned to their courtyard house.

"Hey, Jianye's back! Happy New Year!"

Yan Fugui stood at the door and, seeing the Chen family return, quickly offered his New Year's greetings.

"Happy New Year, Teacher Yan!"

Chen Jianye replied with a smile.

After greeting the people in the courtyard, Ran Qiuye tidied up the house, while Chen Jianye sorted the vegetables he had brought from the Ran family.

Lu Qiang bought a lot of vegetables and stored them in the house. Since the Chen family was going back, she asked Ran Qiuye to bring back a lot of vegetables so that Ran Qiuye wouldn't have to buy any more.

Chen Jianye and his wife were busy inside the house.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Jianye turned his head and saw that it was Liu Haizhong.

"Jianye, I'm here to wish you a Happy New Year!"

Liu Haizhong shouted excitedly.

"Hehe, Happy New Year, Master Liu."

Chen Jianye replied with a smile.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui don't call him "Grandpa," and he doesn't call them "Second Grandpa" or "Third Grandpa" either; both sides are used to it.

Liu Haizhong left, and then the Yan family's children came.

Next came the children from the families in the front yard.

When children come to visit for the New Year, Chen Jianye gives them a red envelope containing three mao (0.3 yuan) as a New Year's gift.

Without a job, I spend my days eating, drinking, playing cards, playing chess, and having a small drink.

Time flies, and it's already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Today is Chen Jianye's last day of holiday; he will be back to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Jianye is the deputy chief engineer of the steel rolling mill's technical office. While the workers can return to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, he has to go to the company on the afternoon of the sixth day.

Not only does he have to arrive at work half a day early, but most of the maintenance workers in the workshop and engineers in the technical office also have to come to work.

Check if the equipment is operating normally, whether there are any leaks in water, electricity, or gas, inventory materials, and identify potential safety hazards, etc.

We can't wait until everyone goes back to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, only to discover a bunch of problems that prevent us from starting work.

Time flies.

After brushing his teeth, Chen Jianye put down his water glass and toothbrush and rubbed his hands together.

It was very cold outside, and my hands were shivering from the cold when I brushed my teeth.

"Sigh, I'll be going back to work in another month."

Ran Qiuye sighed.

"Going to work is fine. You'll be more comfortable if you leave Zhongguo with Mom."

Chen Jianye said casually.

"I can't bear to part with it."

"Zhongguo is still drinking milk."

Ran Qiuye looked at Chen Zhongguo, whom she was holding in her arms, with a face full of loving affection. He was a piece of her own flesh and blood.

"Hey, it's not like we can't see them anymore. Zhongguo is still sleeping next to us."

Chen Jianye offered words of comfort.

A peaceful and comfortable life always passes by quickly.

In the afternoon, Chen Jianye rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

In his familiar office, Chen Jianye ran into many of his colleagues from the technical office.

Everyone greeted each other with happy new year, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Chief Engineer Chen, Happy New Year!"

Chen Jianye arrived at his office, and Li Zaixing came over to offer his New Year's greetings, carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

"Comrade Zaixing, Happy New Year to you too."

Chen Jianye smiled and offered his New Year's greetings.

"Chief Engineer Chen, these apples were brought from Shandong by my relative. They taste very good, so I brought them here for you to try."

Li Zaixing placed a bag of apples on his desk.

"You're too kind. I can't possibly eat all these apples."

"Keep two for yourself, and distribute the rest to your other colleagues."

Chen Jianye expressed his deepest gratitude.

If someone delivers apples, it's definitely not appropriate to refuse them outright; it would make the two parties seem distant.

Taking everything in doesn't seem right.

Chen Jianye only accepted two, and gave the rest to other colleagues in the project team. This way, he accepted Li Zaixing's kindness without seeming abrupt.

"Okay, I'll do as Chief Engineer Chen says."

Li Zaixing was a smart man, and he immediately understood what Chen Jianye meant.

He put down two apples, exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Jianye, and left with his cloth bag.
