Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Yan Bugui's face changed instantly. His eldest son had never had anything to do with him. His second son was in jail, and his third son wanted to fight his own father. Yan Bugui suddenly felt that he was a failure as a father. Yan Jiedi suddenly interrupted and said, "If you want to fight, count me in."

Yan Bugui was really shocked this time. With a trembling voice, Yan Bugui said, "Okay! Okay! I'll give it to you! From now on, this family will have nothing to do with you! And don't even think about coming back!" After that, Yan Bugui went to the inner room, took out two hundred yuan and all the tickets in the house, and said, "Take it!"

Yan Jiekuang took the money with a smile, counted out ten Great Unity notes and gave them to Yan Jiedi, then counted out half of the notes and gave them to Yan Jiedi and said, "Let's go."

After Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi left, the third aunt sat down on the ground and cried, "What sin have I committed? How could I give birth to these bastards?!"

Yan Bugui also slumped in his chair, muttering to himself, "I never thought that after all my life of scheming, He Yuzhu would actually come true. All my scheming turned out to be in vain."

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi dealt a heavy blow to Yan Bugui and his wife. After Yan Jiekuang left, the couple still hadn't recovered. There were still three days before Yan Jiedi left Sijiucheng. At dusk, a beggar-like man appeared at the door of Yan Bugui's house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?!" The third aunt walked to the door, opened it, saw someone standing at her door, and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?!"

"mom!"

When the third aunt heard the word "Mom", it seemed to awaken the memory deep in her soul. She beat the person standing in front of her and asked, "Are you Jiefang?!"

"Mom!" Yan Jiefang cried, "Mom! I'm back!"

The third aunt said excitedly: "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! Come in quickly!"

Yan Jiefang walked into the house carrying his luggage, looked at the familiar yet strange home in front of him, and asked, "Mom! Where are my dad and the others?!"

The third aunt poured a glass of water for Yan Jiefang and said, "Not long after your accident, your eldest brother got married and moved out. Jie Kuang went to the northwest to work in the production team. Jie Di will also leave in a few days."

Yan Jiefang suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Mom! I am sorry for you! I will definitely be filial to you and Dad in the future."

The third aunt hurriedly helped Yan Jiefang up and said, "Jiefang, as long as you have the heart!"

"Old lady!" Yan Bugui's voice rang out at this moment. The third aunt immediately ran to the door, opened it, and said excitedly: "Old man, look who's back?!"

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then walked into the house carrying the vegetables. Seeing Yan Jiefang dressed like a beggar, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on and shouted in disbelief, "Jiefang?!"

"Dad!" Yan Jiefang shouted.

Yan Bugui cried with joy, "It's good that he's back! It's good that he's back!" Then he said to his wife, "Old woman, find some clothes for the child, and get a bathing ticket so that the child can have a good bath to get rid of the bad luck on his body."

"Hey!" The third aunt responded, ran into the inner room, found a set of Yan Jiefang's original clothes and a pair of new shoes, ran back, put the clothes in Yan Jiefang's hands, took out a bath ticket and a dollar from her pocket, and said, "Go!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiefang responded and went out with his things.

After Yan Jiefang left, the third aunt looked at Yan Bugui and asked, "Old Yan, what are you thinking about?!"

Yan Bugui said: "After returning from liberation, it will be difficult for him to find a job in his situation."

The third aunt said, "Jiefang is very smart! We don't need to worry about his affairs."

Yan Jiefang finished his bath, had his hair cut, and walked out of the bathhouse. On the way home, Yan Jiefang saw Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li and called out, "Brother!"

Yan Jiecheng was slightly startled when he heard the call, and looked in the direction of the sound. Seeing Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiecheng asked seriously, "When did you come back?!"

Yan Jiefang replied: "Just got back!"

Yan Jiecheng continued, "Now that you're back, be well! Don't send yourself back in again."

Yu Li asked: "Xie Cheng, who is he?!"

Yan Jiecheng replied, "He is my brother Yan Jiefang who was squatting on the fence." Then he introduced, "Jiefang, this is your sister-in-law Yu Li."

Yan Jiefang greeted Yu Li: "Sister-in-law!"

Yu Li nodded slightly, a look of disgust on her face, and said, "Jie Cheng, we have things to do. You two brothers can find time to reminisce some other time!"

"Okay!" Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Jiefang and responded, then left with Yu Li.

Yan Jiefang looked at the backs of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, and a strong murderous aura emerged from Yan Jiefang's expression: "You look down on me now. In the future, I will make you unattainable!" Yan Jiefang quickly adjusted his mentality and walked towards the courtyard.

Yan Jiefang returned to the courtyard, but before he even entered the door, he was stopped by Yan Jiedi. Yan Jiedi asked, "Why did you come back? Why didn't you die outside? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to go to the countryside!"

Yan Jiefang replied: "This is my home. Why can't I come back?!"

Yan Bugui came out at this time and said, "It's time to eat!"

"Oh!" Yan Jiefang looked at Yan Jiedi with a provocative look, and walked into the house with a smile.

Yan Jie Di was so angry when she saw Yan Jiefang's reaction that she stamped her feet. Yan Jie Di was about to go in to eat, but when she thought of what Yan Bugui had said to her and Yan Jiekuang, she snorted coldly and went straight back to her room.

After entering the living room, Yan Jiefang was stunned when he saw the dishes on the table. He never thought that Yan Bugui would buy meat today.

The third aunt smiled and said, "Liberation, they say that when you go out you get dumplings and when you get home you get noodles. You came back today, and your father went to the state-owned restaurant and bought a portion of braised pork. He also asked me to make you a bowl of noodles."

"Dad! Mom!" Yan Jiefang didn't know what to say. Yan Bugui said, "Jiefang, you're back. I want to talk to you about some things at home." Then Yan Bugui put a piece of braised pork into Yan Jiefang's bowl, and then told Yan Jiefang about the situation at home.

Yan Jiefang was originally very grateful to his parents, but now, although he is grateful, he also feels a sense of pressure. Because Yan Jiefang heard from Yan Bugui's words that the couple put all the burden of supporting them in their old age on him.

After dinner, the third aunt arranged Yan Jiefang to live in the room that Yan Jiekuang had lived in. Yan Jiefang lay on the bed, recalling Yan Bugui's words, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Because of the strained relationship with her family, Yan Jie Di could only carry her luggage to the train station alone. Not long after Yan Jie Di left, Yan Jiefang said, "Dad! Jie Di is a girl. She is likely to be bullied when she goes to a place where she is unfamiliar with. Why don't you retire early and give the job to Jie Di. Let her come back earlier?!"

"That unfilial daughter. Why should I retire early and give my job to her?! If you, as the second elder brother, can't bear to let her go, then find a way yourself! Also! Don't mention her in front of me in the future." After saying that, Yan Bugui walked out angrily.

The third aunt said, "Jiefang, Jie Kuang and Jie Di have completely broken your father's heart this time. Don't mention Jie Kuang and Jie Di for now. Let's talk about it in a few years! Jiefang, you should take a good rest for a while and find a job. Your parents don't need you to support them now, but you also have to think about your future. You are only in your twenties, you are still young!"

Yan Jiefang said, "Mom! Don't worry! I will go out to find a job in a few days."
