Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Seeing her counting money again, Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "When did my wife become such a money-grubber?"

Yingzi glanced at him shyly, "You went out for a bit, are you sure you want to count things when you get back?"

"Jianguo, do you think we should deposit this money in the bank?"

Li Ying felt it was too unsafe to keep this money at home.

Even with the iron gate in place, I still feel uneasy.

1,500 yuan, that's a terrifying number.

Even 20 years from now, that's a huge sum of money.

"You decide what to do. You're in charge of the money at home," Yang Jianguo said with a smile as he wiped his feet.

Yingzi laughed heartily and quickly wrapped the handkerchief around her neck.

She snatched the towel from his hand and picked up the foot basin to pour water.

After returning, I hung up the basin and towel before reopening the cabinet.

He carefully tucked the handkerchief containing the money into the middle layer of the folded clothes.

Then, Yingzi took out a red booklet the size of a palm.

Certificate of Honor for Outstanding Individuals.

Upon opening, you'll see Yang Jianguo's photo on the left and his personal awards and honors on the right.

Standing there, looking at it again and again, Yingzi's joy was even stronger than before.

Hugging her from behind and resting her head lightly on his shoulder, Yang Jianguo laughed and said, "So happy?"

Yingzi snuggled back into his arms and hummed softly, "Mmm, happy."

Seeing this makes me even happier than receiving 1,500 yuan.

"We need to keep this safe."

Yingzi thought of something and said, "I'll go buy some cellophane tomorrow and we'll seal it up properly."

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "Is it really necessary?"

Yingzi looked up and retorted, "Why not? This is our family's treasure, and I'll have to pass it on to my children in the future."

"That way, he will know what a remarkable person his father is, and that's why he should learn from him."

Yang Jianguo grinned and murmured softly, "I hope he doesn't end up like me."

Yingzi asked curiously, "Why? Isn't it good to be like you?"

With unfocused eyes, Yang Jianguo said with a wistful gaze, "I wish he were more like me than me."

It's easy to be someone else, but it's hard to be yourself!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the outside world seemed to be put on hold.

Except for essential travel, everyone was still asleep.

By noon, the deserted courtyard had come alive again.

"morning."

Good morning.

"have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

In the capital, a greeting always includes the question, "Have you eaten?"

For no other reason than that we were starving two years ago.

These days, asking "Have you eaten?" is a common greeting.

The reply was, "I ate."

Everyone was happy, and there was also a sense of blessing and good luck involved.

While I was resting in the yard, Liu Haizhong's door opened.

Liu Haizhong, carrying a package, strode out with a stern face.

"Uncle Er, are you... going to another city?" Everyone was curious when they saw the bag in his hand.

Liu Haizhong didn't say anything, just kept walking with his head down.

Judging from the way they're acting, something must have happened.

"Dad, Dad, wait a minute!" Aunt Er called after him.

Then look at the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who are squeezing through the curtain at the doorway, craning their necks to look outside.

That "this is going to be good" expression clearly showed he was enjoying the show.

Sha Zhu asked curiously, "Guangtian, what's wrong?"

During the Lunar New Year, Uncle Er acted as if he wanted to separate from the family and move to another place.

What happened? Did the couple have a fight?

But Aunt Er obeys him completely, surely not?!

"It's all because of his precious eldest son, who said he's not coming back for the New Year." Liu Guangtian curled his lip in disdain.

For this older brother, and for his father.

Liu Guangtian felt there was little affection involved, only a slight sense of gratitude occasionally...

He must have lost his mind!

If a father is biased, his children will follow suit; how can one expect the son to straighten his heart?

"What an honor!"

Sha Zhu nodded knowingly and said, "If he's not coming back, he's not coming back. Something must have gotten in the way."

"Haha~" Liu Guangfu quickly covered his mouth, afraid that the children from the outer courtyard would hear.

If the old man hears me laughing, I'll have to turn around and give him a good scolding before I leave.

Sha Zhu pressed on, "What, is there something else?"

Liu Guangfu glanced outside, then turned back to look at his second brother.

Liu Guangtian said, "Hey~ It's no big deal, everyone will know in a couple of days."

"I heard my brother found a woman over there and plans to have her come to his door..."

"Pfft~" Sha Zhu even sprayed out his tea.

What the hell?

Liu Guangrong? He's going to be someone's live-in son-in-law?!

Sha Zhu's mind was buzzing, this...

Is Liu Guangrong out of his mind?!

She was pampered and spoiled by her parents from a young age.

He gets all the good things first, and he gets whatever he wants.

In order to make him successful, they even spent money to send him to study outside.

hey~

This kid is quite capable, but I don't know how well he studies.

This person has been read away.

No wonder Uncle Er's face was so gloomy.

He must be furious inside.

Glory, glory, bringing honor to our ancestors.

The greater Liu Haizhong's expectations of him in the past, the greater his anger was now.

My entire life's hope rests on you...

In the blink of an eye, you've become someone else's servant?

If I don't break your legs today, I... I...

I'll change my surname to yours, you son of a bitch!

Seeing Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu watching the commotion, Sha Zhu shouted irritably:

"Alright, you two, stop gloating. Your brother isn't better, so neither of you should expect to be."

Sha Zhu's words really did leave the two of them dumbfounded.

Not very good.

The eldest brother is from out of town after all!

Even if his father goes and gets beaten up, in the end, it's still the two brothers in front of him.

When I think back on this, I'm sure I'll take it out on them.

Having figured it out, neither of them had any intention of watching the spectacle.

She lowered the curtain and went back inside to vent her anger.

How did I end up with such a family? Everything I do is wrong.

The one who's right is always someone else; those two only deserve to be called 'useless'.

They're always asking, "What can you even do?"

So you're saying the eldest is your son, and the two of us are just an added burden?

Sometimes, Liu Guangtian genuinely envied the founding of the nation.

Even without the old man, I can still achieve something great on my own.

By then, he'll definitely be no worse than Yang Jianguo.

Chapter 139 Father, how can I show my love for you?

"Oh dear, someone come quick!"

"Guangtian, Guangfu, your father has fainted, Guangtian..."

In the outer courtyard, Aunt Er's wailing and shouting caused panic throughout the entire compound.

Sha Zhu hurriedly sat up and ran forward, and the door to Yang Jianguo's house opened.

"I'll go take a look." After saying this to Yingzi, Yang Jianguo ran to the front yard.

Liu Haizhong must have been provoked and fainted from anger.

"Old Liu, Old Liu, Haizhong, you absolutely cannot get hurt."

In the front yard, Liu Haizhong was lying on the ground.

The second woman crawled on top of him, raising her hands high and then lowering them.

His body swayed to the rhythm, making him look somewhat mournful.

"What time is it? Why are you still crying here?" Sha Zhu went up and touched his nose; he was still breathing.

"Quickly call someone to lend a hand, put Uncle Er on my back, and I'll carry him to the hospital."

"Zhu Zi, the bicycle is stable." Yang Jianguo, who had followed and then gone back, came back pushing his bicycle.

At this moment, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also arrived at their parents' side.

They helped Sha Zhu put Uncle Er on the back of the bicycle, supporting him from both sides.

As they exited the compound, Yang Jianguo stepped over from the front, stepping on the foot pedals and shouting, "Keep up and hold on tight."

Bang Chi, Bang Chi.
