Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

They'll turn around and be grateful to you, treating you with utmost respect and devotion?

What are you thinking about?!

At the entrance of the courtyard, Liu Haizhong angrily shouted, "That Yang Jianguo is so ungrateful!"

"You, Lao Yi, are his elder after all. You heard that he had an accident, so you brought all these bags to visit him."

“Look at him, look at him, he’s acting like nothing’s wrong.”

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Second Uncle and said calmly, "Alright, Haizhong, what kind of elder am I to you!"

"This person is not related to me, just a bit old, so don't talk nonsense."

"As for that, didn't Ren Jianguo say he forgave me?"

Uncle Er looked at him and asked, "Old Yi, you're not scared, are you?"

"He said he forgave you, but look at the way he said it, it doesn't sound like he forgave you at all."

Just then, Xu Damao walked in: "What are you two doing here?"

Seeing him, Uncle Er felt like he had found a 'comrade-in-arms'.

“Da Mao, you tell me about this. Your Uncle Yi heard that Yang Jianguo had an accident, so he brought some things to go see him.”

"...He apologized to him, and he said some nice things and accepted the apology."

"After that, they didn't say anything and just left."

Xu Damao had long been impatient, but seeing how angry Uncle Er looked, he was still moved.

With wicked thoughts swirling in his mind, he would readily utter exaggerated and inflammatory remarks expressing his shared hatred of the enemy.

"Uncle Er, you're right. I think Yang Jianguo is just arrogant and thinks he's capable."

"He's lost even the most basic respect for the elderly and care for the young; he won't last long."

Seeing the two of them arguing, Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something, but then felt he wasn't qualified.

He was a former convict, and his problem stemmed from his loose tongue.

What right do you have to criticize others? Get out of here!

Carrying his things, Yi Zhonghai turned and walked away. "Hey, Lao Yi, Lao Yi, wait a minute."

Seeing himself shouting and yelling, Yi Zhonghai quickened his pace and entered the doorway.

Uncle Er laughed in exasperation: "Hey~ This old Yi, has Yang Jianguo scared him out of his wits?"

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly, "I think so."

With a quick glance, Xu Damao presented the item, saying, "Second Uncle, I think you're the one who should be in charge of this place. You have to take care of this matter."

"That Uncle Yi is an elder, after all. Putting everything else aside, shouldn't Yang Jianguo at least show him some respect?"

Xu Damao was stirring up trouble in the front yard, trying to provoke a fight.

If only we could get Uncle Er and Yang Jianguo to take on the family responsibilities.

Hey~ This is fun.

Just as they were talking enthusiastically, someone slapped them on the back of the head.

"Ouch, who is it? Are you looking for death!" Aunt Liu stood behind him, her face grim, as he turned around, clutching his head.

Seeing him, Xu Damao felt a chill run down his spine.

Aunt Liu is now a favorite of the neighborhood committee.

Director Wang, in particular, trusted her implicitly and took special care of her.

Because Aunt Liu was the first woman to stay in the courtyard, and she kept the place in perfect order.

Ever since Aunt Liu became an old lady, nothing outrageous has happened in this courtyard.

Regardless of how it came about, Director Wang only cares about the results.

Anyway, things quieted down in the compound after she took office.

This credit definitely belongs to Aunt Liu.

To be honest, Aunt Liu deserves a lot of credit for this.

Just like today, when she caught Xu Damao stirring up trouble, Aunt Liu went up and slapped him.

"You, Xu Damao, can't stand to see others doing well?"

"Why do you act like a gossipy woman all day long, spreading rumors and causing trouble? Don't you have any shame?"

"Someone like you can become a projectionist at a steel mill?"

"I think you want me to go to the neighborhood office and the women's federation to complain and help Xu Damao spread his reputation?"

This barrage of attacks and slashes completely stunned Xu Damao.

He covered his head, shrank his neck, and chuckled awkwardly, "Third Uncle, look at what you're saying. I'm just angry on behalf of Uncle Yi!"

"Why are you getting angry when the person isn't even here?"

"If you're hungry tomorrow, I'll help you eat! Or I can collect your salary for you, so you don't have to work so hard."

Looking at Uncle Er again, Aunt Liu didn't say anything nice either: "Uncle Er, you are Uncle Er in our courtyard."

"What does our old man do? He's here to maintain stability in the courtyard and let everyone live their lives in peace."

"Is it proper for you to gossip about the residents and stir up trouble here?"

Liu Haizhong blushed with embarrassment at what she said, almost wanting to disappear into the ground.

Liu Haizhong values ​​'official prestige' the most, and Aunt Liu's few words hit him right where it hurts.

Uncle Er's face turned red, and he wanted to say something but couldn't find a way to defend himself.

The person had been listening for who knows how long, until he finally made a fool of himself by arguing in front of him.

Liu Haizhong wouldn't do something like that.

He has no ability, but he's very concerned about saving face.

This man is just as his two sons described.

Fortunately, he was just an ordinary citizen; if he had become an official...

If someone is embarrassed by a few words, they'll be willing to commit murder or arson.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Aunt Liu raised her hand and said, "Alright, go back now! Stop gossiping behind people's backs in the future."

“A grown man like that, all he does is gossip and talk behind people’s backs all day long, what kind of future can he have?”

He didn't make things easy for the two of them before he left, muttering things that only added to their distress.

Liu Haizhong, his anger rising, glared fiercely at Xu Damao.

He tossed his hands behind his back and walked away.

You've been reduced to nothing by others, what are you still doing here?

They still feel ashamed of how much they've lost face!

"Hey~" Xu Damao was unhappy.

Why are you glaring at me like that, Liu Haizhong? I even got slapped!

So it wasn't you who started making a fuss first, and then I gave you advice.

"Pah, it's not even a thing..." Xu Damao spat on the ground, seething with anger.

Chapter 222 Never, Yang Jianguo's Thoughts (Explosive Update, Seeking Full Subscription)

"Zhiyuan, come here, let Daddy hold you."

When he opened his arms to hug his son, the little guy nestled into his mother's arms and completely ignored him.

Seeing him like this, Yang Jianguo was both angry and amused.

He clapped his hands and said to his daughter, "Zhiyi, come here, give me a hug."

The little girl immediately waved her hands and kicked her feet happily, giggling.

Yang Jianguo reached out and picked up his daughter, laughing as he kissed her on the cheek: "My daughter is the best."

Yingzi rolled her eyes at him: "You spoil her every day, how can she not be close to you?"

Hearing his wife's complaints, Yang Jianguo turned his daughter to her and laughed, "Daddy loves me, I love Daddy, hee hee hee~"

Seeing his childish behavior, Yingzi burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you really are a father."

He sat sideways on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at his wife and son in front of him.

Looking down, she giggled in her arms, as happy as a little bird's daughter.

Wife, children, and a warm bed.

It felt as if life had reached its perfect conclusion at that moment.

Then, my thighs felt warm.

Yang Jianguo looked down and saw his daughter sucking on her fingers, giggling at him.

"Hey, are you warming Dad's legs?"

Hearing Yang Jianguo's teasing tone, Yingzi quickly urged him to get up: "Don't wet the bed! You're really something, you even use the pee to warm your legs!"

As Yingzi spoke, she laughed to herself.

My husband really spoils our daughter.

However, children still need to be disciplined more strictly.

"When the child gets older, you can't hold me back when I'm taking care of him."

Yingzi started teaching him the rules; when it comes to education, one cannot be careless.

“Okay, I promise I won’t hold you back.” Yang Jianguo nodded seriously. “If something needs to be done, it needs to be done. I understand that principle.”

Yingzi rolled her eyes at him. "Come on, you?"

While chatting, I changed my daughter's diaper and then changed her pants.

Yingzi casually rubbed the dirty cloth and put it on, while Yang Jianguo played with the children inside.

When she returned, the two children were already asleep on his lap.

"Shh~" Yang Jianguo patted the two children's heads and whispered, "They just fell asleep, be gentle."

Yingzi slowed her pace, got onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and put the two children inside to sleep.

She occupied the man's chest, gently pressing against his heart.

Boom, boom, boom...

The beating heart made her feel real and at ease.

"Founding the Nation~"

"Ah."

"Do you know what my first thought was when Qin Huairu told me you were trapped under the factory?"

"What is it?" Yang Jianguo tightened his grip on her arm.

“I was thinking, if you were gone, I would go with you.”

Without saying a word, Yang Jianguo pressed his chin against her head, wanting her to feel his affection.

"But then I thought, we still have two children! My heart aches, like it's being torn apart."

"I'm back, it's okay, I'm here!" Yang Jianguo gently patted her arm and comforted her softly.

Yingzi hugged him tightly, her body trembling slightly as she choked out, "Jianguo, please don't abandon me and the child. I can't hold on, I can't hold on."

At this moment, the strong outer shell was resolutely shattered.

Yingzi exposed all her vulnerabilities to him without any defenses; her body was already covered in wounds.

He kissed her forehead, his voice soft but firm: "No, I will never abandon you and the child in this lifetime, never."
