Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

He's really not in a hurry; at home...

His mother was probably a little anxious, but she kept it to herself.

As for his father, he had studied abroad and believed in free love.

He was almost forced into marriage by his grandparents back then, but his father argued his case, which gave him the opportunity to meet his mother, and that's how he came to be.

Therefore, he detested the old ideas of arranged marriages and parental consent the most.

As long as Zhang Chao doesn't keep delaying his marriage, his father won't cause him any trouble.

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "Then you are free."

But then a single sentence made Zhang Chao put away his little bit of smugness.

"But you have to get married eventually, you can't keep putting it off!"

Yingzi cooked a stew at home, and it took six lunchboxes to fill it all.

Then, they packed ten more steamed buns for them.

In one go, he carried eight lunchboxes.

When I ride my bike, I always feel like it forgets to hang the lunchbox on the right side and tilts over.

Fortunately, I've been riding a bike for quite some time now, so I can keep my balance!

Upon arriving at the hospital, I carried the lunchbox into the ward.

She noticed that the master and apprentice looked a little strange, as if something was making them feel awkward and they were deliberately avoiding each other.

"The food's here!" Yingzi called out, placing the lunchbox on the small stool.

Yang Jianguo turned around and quickly got up to take it, saying, "Why are you carrying so much? Are you tired?"

Hearing this, Yingzi laughed heartily: "What's so tiring about this little bit of work? Comrade Yang Jianguo, aren't you underestimating your wife?"

Seeing her coquettish expression, Yang Jianguo smiled and replied, "Yes, Comrade Li Ying, I was wrong. I shouldn't have underestimated you."

"Now, Comrade Li Ying, I would like to offer you a meal as an apology."

Li Ying handed the steamed bun to Yingzi, who took it and beamed with joy: "That's more like it, I forgive you!"

Looking at his master and mistress, Zhang Chao's eyes were filled with envy and longing.

This is exactly the kind of love he wants!

When Qin Huairu returned, the three of them were setting out lunchboxes, ready to eat... "Huairu, come on, let's eat together."

Seeing that Yingzi had prepared a lot, Qin Huairu obediently sat down.

"Senior, I've already spoken to the nurse. She said she can prescribe some painkillers, and taking a moderate amount will make me feel better."

Zhang Chao immediately replied, "No need, I don't take painkillers."

Qin Huairu asked curiously, "Why, you don't feel pain anymore?"

Zhang Chao put down the steamed bun, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "That medicine is addictive and has a dependency effect. If you can avoid taking it, then don't."

After picking up some food with his chopsticks and putting it in his mouth, Zhang Chao, a grown man, said, "Besides, what's a little pain to a grown man like me?"

With one hand, she alternately picked up steamed buns and vegetables.

Zhang Chao ate quite quickly; his mouth hadn't stopped moving since the beginning.

Zhang Chao ate three fist-sized steamed buns in one go, and then emptied the remaining vegetables from the lunchbox in front of him.

"Burp~ I'm full."

Zhang Chao put down his chopsticks and leaned back contentedly.

Life's not so bad.

A chilled draft beer would make things even better.

In summer, men and women would go out with plastic jugs and aluminum basins, queuing up at street corners and alleyways to buy draft beer.

This is a unique sight in Beijing.

When we got back, we put the beer in the cellar, and because it was so hot, we put cold water downstairs.

Every hour or two, bring it out and fill a cup to the brim.

It gulped down.

Ah ~

It feels so good! All that summer heat and irritability just melts away.

"You're dreaming, aren't you?" Yang Jianguo said with a laugh. "Once you're better, I'll invite you over for drinks next summer."

"Really?" Zhang Chao immediately sat up in surprise.

The master invited me to his house for drinks; it would be such a status symbol if word got out.

Who is his mentor? Yang Jianguo!

Yang Jianguo promised, "Really."

When Yingzi and Qin Huairu returned with the washed lunchboxes, Yang Jianguo urged her to go back quickly.

It's getting late, and the children are waiting at home.

Yesterday I troubled Aunt Yi to look after things; it's not good to keep asking for help day and night like this.

Yingzi knew that made sense, but she was still a little uneasy because there was no one in the room.

"Jianguo, why don't we let Huairu stay?" Yingzi now had more trust in Qin Huairu.

Based on her performance last night, Yingzi realized that her previous thinking had been narrow-minded.

This widow Qin is really something!

“Then you’ll have to ask Zhang Chao. I don’t need anyone to take care of me.” Yang Jianguo spread his hands and said, “Or I can just go back with you.”

He suggested that he go home with her and let Qin Huairu take care of Zhang Chao, which Yingzi was somewhat tempted by.

She also wanted to be alone with a man, but she was afraid that there might be some potential risks involved.

As I was pondering this, the doctor came in.

"Yang Jianguo, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Here you go. Just get the paperwork done and you can be discharged."

Now, Yingzi doesn't have to worry anymore.

The doctor then helped the two decide whose opinion to "listen" to.

Yang Jianguo left Qin Huairu in the ward and went home with Yingzi.

Riding a woman's Forever bicycle, Yang Jianguo and his wife ignored the strange looks from the people on the street.

What, never seen couples showing affection before?

Having brazenly arrived home, Yang Jianguo carried his car into the courtyard.

They bumped right into Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, who were carrying things and were heading out.

Upon seeing him return, Yi Zhonghai avoided eye contact, but Liu Haizhong asked directly, "Jianguo, you've been discharged from the hospital?"

"Yes, the doctor said I'm fine. If I feel unwell again, I should go see a doctor," Yang Jianguo replied.

Liu Haizhong, in a moment of panic, said, "Hey, I was just telling Lao Yi I was going to visit you, and here I am, I specially bought some things..."

Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "Isn't that perfect? ​​We can see it without even leaving the house."

Liu Haizhong gave an awkward smile and said, "It's good that you're back."

The way he just said it made it sound like he didn't want anyone to be well.

Liu Haizhong felt that ever since his eldest son stabbed him in the heart.

My brain and my speech are becoming increasingly useless.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai standing beside him like a block of wood, Liu Haizhong kicked him with his foot.

"Old Yi, Jianguo is back. What do you want to say?"

After Liu Haizhong got into this fight, and considering what Aunt Yi and Sha Zhu had said to him before, it all contributed to the situation.

After his internal struggle, Yi Zhonghai gave in.

"Jianguo, I'm so glad you're alright."

Looking at the two of them, Yi Zhonghai said sincerely, "I was wrong last time, but I just couldn't bring myself to admit it."

“After your criticism, Aunt Yi, and the learning and reform efforts of the neighborhood committee, I now realize my mistakes.”

"Here, I want to apologize to you both. I was careless with my words and I'm sorry for what I did to you two."

Yi Zhonghai's long string of apologies left everyone completely bewildered.

Yang Jianguo, in particular, was secretly wondering, 'Is this really Yi Zhonghai? Could someone be impersonating him?'

But the thought only flashed through my mind for a moment before disappearing completely.

If this isn't Yi Zhonghai, then who else could it be but Yi Haizhong?

The other person bowed their head and apologized to themselves and Yingzi.

Rare indeed!

Is this because he's really figured things out, or is it because Sha Zhu's family has a new chubby boy named Da Zhuang?

Yang Jianguo didn't think about it carefully; he was inclined to think the best of people.

Let's assume this time, Yi Zhonghai, is genuinely trying to repent.

The apology is accepted.

But let's take these things he brought back!

Yang Jianguo could simply ignore him, or just nod at him in the courtyard as a formality.

As for the rest, let's each live our own lives and not interfere with each other.

"Jianguo, Lao Yi has come to apologize to you sincerely." Uncle Er raised an eyebrow, as if he had made a huge mistake.

Yang Jianguo nodded and said, "I know. I can tell you're sincere, so I accept it."

"Then you..." Uncle Er frowned, then hesitated.

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Yang Jianguo said to Yi Zhonghai, "Engineer Yi, take the food back to Aunt Yi!"

After finishing, he pushed the cart, gave Yingzi a wink, and the two went back into the house.

Things in this world don't turn according to anyone's wishes.

When Yi Zhonghai came to apologize, his attitude showed that he was indeed sincere.

Perhaps he was persuaded by Aunt Yi and Sha Zhu, or as he himself said—he realized it!

The factory issued a public statement, and the nature of the incident has been determined.

Yi Zhonghai underwent a series of reforms, including labor reform, ideological study, and suspension from duty for self-reflection, which took a lot of turmoil.

Yang Jianguo won't hold onto this matter forever; it won't end in this lifetime.

If you sincerely apologize, I will accept it.

That's it, what else do you want?

He understood what Liu Haizhong meant: the person had apologized to him, so he shouldn't be so polite and call him "sir."

Yang Jianguo doesn't actually have this habit.

If you made a mistake, you should apologize.

Whether a relationship is close or distant depends on past interactions; what does that have to do with this?

Oh, with this suggestion from you, I'll have to erase everything from before.
