Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Although Qin Jingru was carefree, her words touched Yan Jiedi's heart. Yan Jiedi smiled and agreed, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Qin Jingru said: "What are you thanking me for? Don't be polite to me."

Near noon, Yan Jiefang came back. After handing the dishes to Qin Jingru, he walked to Yan Bugui's side, hugged Yaya without saying anything, and said, "Dad! I found out everything. Yan Jiekuang was sold to a black coal mine by You Laoqi's parents. As for which coal mine, it's not clear yet. You Laoqi's family is in big trouble this time."

Yan Bugui said, "Since we already know the whereabouts of Yan Jiekuang, let's not worry about it. Your mother and I will just pretend that we never gave birth to this bastard." After that, Yan Bugui stood up and said, "I'll go back to my room to rest for a while. Call me when it's time for dinner!"

After Yan Bugui left, the third aunt walked up to Yan Jiefang and asked, "Jiefang, what did you say to your dad? Did you make your dad unhappy?!"

Yan Jiefang replied, "I didn't say anything to Dad. I guess he got tired of thinking about the child's name last night." Then he asked, "Mom, does Yan Jiecheng know about Yan Jiedi's situation?!"

The third aunt replied: "No one told him, so he probably doesn't know."

Yan Jiefang said, "I'll go talk to him later. Ask him to bring his wife and children back when he has time."

The third aunt said hurriedly, "It's better not to call him. If he finds out, he'll be very upset again."

"Okay! Then why don't you tell him!" After saying that, Yan Jiefang looked at Yaya and asked, "Yaya, do you miss your uncle?!"

"Yes!" Yaya replied softly. Yan Jiefang took out a lollipop from his pocket and said, "Yaya, look what your uncle brought you?!" Then Yan Jiefang opened the candy wrapper and said, "Eat it!"

Yan Jiedi walked up to Yan Jiefang and said, "Second brother, you can't spoil her like this!"

Yan Jiefang said: "Why not?! Our Yaya is so cute. She deserves to be pampered."

In a blink of an eye, the New Year was over. The police also had news. The You family's old couple and three sons all ate peanuts. Yan Jiekuang had also been found. But the police were a step too late. Just before the New Year, the black coal mine collapsed. Yan Jiekuang was trapped underneath and suffocated to death.

At the end of April, a passenger plane landed at Sijiucheng Airport. Fan Yongting and He Yushui each dragged two suitcases out of Sijiucheng Airport and called a taxi. Fan Yongting gave an address and started chatting with He Yushui.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, He Yushui said, "After more than a year away, there hasn't been much change in Sijiu City. It's still the same as before."

"Yeah!" Fan Yongting echoed, saying, "But it's not like there hasn't been any change. Aren't there a lot more tall buildings?!"

The taxi driver said, "From your accent, you must be from Beijing, right? Now everyone with connections is running out. Why are you still going back?"

Fan Yongting smiled and said, "No matter how far a sparrow flies, it will return to its nest. Besides, how can the outside world be as good as home?!"

"You're right!" the taxi driver agreed. He Yushui saw two tall buildings on the roadside and asked, "Where are these two tall buildings?!"

The driver replied, "One is a hotel. The owner's surname is Lou. The other is an office building. The owner's surname is also Lou. It seems that the owners of these two buildings are a father and daughter."

More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped outside the alley. He Yushui paid and got off the car with Fan Yongting. The two took their luggage and walked home. When they reached the door, Fan Yongting was about to knock on the door. The door opened. Qian Cuihua saw Fan Yongting and He Yushui standing at the door, and tears instantly flowed down her face.

Fan Yongting shouted excitedly: "Mom!"

"Hey!" Qian Cuihua responded, saying, "I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back! You and Yu Shui have both lost weight! Come in!" Then Qian Cuihua shouted into the house, "Old man, look who's back?!"

Fan Changming heard the call and walked out of the main room. Seeing Fan Yongting and He Yushui, Fan Changming asked in a trembling voice: "Are you back?!"

Fan Yongting replied: "I'm back!"

Fan Changming urged: "Come in quickly!"

After He Yushui and Fan Yongting entered the main hall, Fan Changming asked them to sit down and asked, "Are you leaving now that you are back?!"

Fan Yongting replied: "It's not that He Bing is getting married. We came back on purpose. We can only stay at home for ten days. After ten days, we will leave. But at most in a year and a half, we will be able to come back."

Fan Changming nodded silently and complained, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? So that Zhuzi could pick you up."

Fan Yongting said: "Brother Zhuzi is so busy. How can we do this?!"

Qian Cuihua said, "The one who has the most free time is Zhuzi. He is just a lazy guy. He doesn't care about anything. I don't know what kind of magic potion he has given Xiao'e. Xiao'e doesn't care about him and even spoils him. They say stupid people have good luck, and I think it's true."

"Master's Wife, what are you saying about me again?!" He Yuzhu walked in from outside. Seeing He Yushui and Fan Yongting, he asked in surprise: "Why are you back?!"

He Yushui said, "I heard that my eldest nephew is getting married. As his aunt, how can I not be there?!"

He Yuzhu asked: "What about your studies?!"

He Yushui replied: "We just came back because we don't have any classes during this period. But we won't stay at home for long. We will leave after He Bing gets married."

He Yuzhu took out the house deed, land deed and keys from his bag and said, "Since you are back, I should give you these things. After you left, someone liked the house in Nanluoguxiang. So I sold it. I thought you were not short of money, and your children would need a house when they grow up and get married. So I made the decision on my own and bought the yard next door."

He Yushui said: "Brother, I can't take this!"

He Yuzhu said, "I told you at the beginning that the house in Nanluoguxiang would be your dowry. You know my temper. I always keep my word. If you don't accept it, wouldn't that be a slap in your brother's face?!"

"Brother!" He Yushui hugged He Yuzhu and started crying.

After about three or four minutes, He Yushui stopped crying. He Yushui reached out and wiped her tears, then took the things in her hand and said, "Okay! I'll take it!"

"That's right!" He Yuzhu agreed with a smile, and then asked: "How are you doing abroad?!"

Fan Yongting said, "After all, we are in someone else's territory. I was not used to it at first. Although it is much better now than when I first arrived, it still feels out of place. I have discussed it with Yu Shui. I will come back after finishing my studies. No matter how good it is outside, it is never as comfortable as at home."

"You two see things clearly." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Do you plan to return to your original unit after you come back, or look for another one?!"

Fan Yongting said: "A good horse never turns back. It is impossible for me to return to my original unit. My university teacher is now the vice president of Sijiucheng University of Technology. He wants me and Yushui to become teachers at the university after we return."

He Yuzhu said: "It's good to be a teacher. The job is stable and the time is flexible."

Fan Yongting smiled and replied, "I think so too. I can graduate in one year at the earliest and one and a half years at the latest. Yu Shui will graduate two months earlier than me."

Qian Cuihua asked, "Aren't you going to study? How come Yu Shui is also studying?!"
