Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

These people aren't new; even the best-tempered among them have had their share of trouble.

If there's anything to discuss, go to the office. No matter who comes, as long as it's something important, Yang Jianguo will make time to receive them.

But everyone here is trying to build connections and take shortcuts.

It's already a miracle he didn't kick people out directly, let alone expect him to give them a friendly look.

"Jianguo, look who's here."

Upon entering the Intermediate People's Court, Sha Zhu's shouts caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, a genuine smile appeared on Yang Jianguo's face.

This made the Liu and Yan families extremely happy, realizing that their families were quite important in Yang Jianguo's eyes.

Seeing him stride forward, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Lao Yan's family members Jie Cheng, Jie Fang, Jie Kuang, and Jie Di all went up to greet him.

The next second, he nodded politely and walked through the group, saying, "Uncle Liu, Auntie."

Grasping the hand of Liu, who was using a cane, Yang Jianguo said loudly, "You haven't come to visit often these past few years. You really don't treat this place like home anymore."

Big Liu and Aunt Liu were laughing heartily, drawing envious glances from those around them.

The two were both flattered and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Since they moved away, Yang Jianguo has made time to visit them once a year.

We haven't really lost touch over the years.

But both Da Liu and Aunt Liu felt that he was too busy these days, and each time he came, it was just a quick meeting.

People start urging me to finish a sentence, so it's really not good to bother them.

As a result, he rarely stepped into the courtyard house anymore.

I thought this would distance us from each other, but I never expected that Jian Guo would remain the same as before.

Nostalgic and sentimental.

This child... If Old Yang and his wife knew this in the afterlife, they would be more than able to rest in peace.

They're probably so happy they'd be ready to do the ghost step.

"elder brother."

As they were talking, two girls ran up to them.

No, you can't call her a girl anymore, the child is almost as tall as you.

"Dajuan, Xiaojuan."

Yang Jianguo accurately identified the two people, without making a single mistake.

Dajuan nodded happily, pulling her child over. "Quick, call him Uncle Yang. Your Uncle Yang is a great benefactor to our family."

“This is my eldest son, Xiao Tian.”

"Uncle Yang." The young man was a little shy and looked to be of college age.

"Okay, where will you study?" Yang Jianguo asked in a friendly tone.

Xiao Tian scratched his head and said shyly, "I didn't study, I just help out at home."

"He wasn't cut out for studying. After finishing junior high, he went out to help his family, though he did learn the basics of the trade."

Dajuan scolded him with a hint of disappointment, but her eyes were full of smiles.

It seems the child has learned the craft quite well.

"That's also a way out. There are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert!"

"Your dad is a perfect example."

Yang Jianguo changed the subject, defusing the impending awkwardness and leaving Xiao Tian with a very good impression.

Before this visit, my family repeatedly emphasized that we must take Uncle Yang, a high-ranking official, very seriously. He didn't seem to have any airs of authority.

On the contrary, he had a kind and gentle face and was very amiable.

He seems like a better person than my teachers at school.

“Brother Jianguo.” Xiao Juan stepped forward and introduced her child.

Liu Yi found someone with the same surname.

Yang Jianguo didn't want to ask too many questions about whether it implied the continuation of the family line.

This is their business; as long as they're willing, that's fine.

Outsiders should refrain from making too many comments.

The Liu family is no longer the small vendors who used to set up stalls at the alley entrance.

Liu's Electromechanical Group is one of the earliest, fastest-growing, and largest electromechanical enterprises in China.

The company's main business includes the production and sales of high and low voltage switchgear, power transmission and distribution and control equipment, electrical machinery and equipment, construction and electrical engineering installation, and import and export of goods and technology.

Last year, Liu's was selected as one of the top ten outstanding enterprises and trustworthy enterprises in the capital.

The top leader personally attended the event and presented awards to these entrepreneurs as encouragement.

Da Liu should now be called 'Boss Liu'.

"What big boss? I'm just a worker... I still miss the days in the factory."

This is on par with Lao Ma; they're both people who don't care about money.

However, money can indeed solve many problems.

It can also reduce many troubles and inconveniences in life.

People like Lau are now chauffeured around and have personal drivers wherever they go.

He was also accompanied by professional caregivers who were responsible for his safety and health.

The cane in his hand was also a dragon-head cane carved from the finest wood.

Holding it in your hand, you can instantly exude an aura of authority.

Compared to before, he has changed a lot.

Aunt Liu's clothes and appearance were also completely different from before.

His air of wealth and luxury was immediately apparent.

It seems this family came back today not just to mourn Old Yi!

Back then, the people in the courtyard often gossiped and mocked me behind my back.

Haha, is this karma?

Yang Jianguo chuckled inwardly, but didn't expose the Liu family's little scheme.

Let them have their own stubbornness.

"They're carrying the coffin." Sha Zhu was with his two sons, and on the other side were Lao Yi's apprentices.

Fang Zheng came to my door last night, saying he wanted to see his master off on his final journey.

Whether they have other intentions or not, we can't say for sure right now.

They were just short of a suitable coffin bearer, and Old Yi's apprentice was the perfect candidate.

Four people carried the coffin and rushed to the cemetery in the countryside under the cover of night.

……

Like deliberately divided terraced fields, there are a total of four levels.

There is water behind the mountain, and a small woodland in front of the mountain, where fruit trees are planted.

This plot of land was chosen by Lao Yi himself for himself and his wife before his death.

He specifically consulted several authentic feng shui masters to examine this land.

They all told him that this was a good feng shui location.

Sha Zhu remembered that when Lao Yi was drunk, he said it was called something like 'Dragonfly Water'.

He didn't believe in that either, so he didn't pay attention.

Anyway, it's Lao Yi who 'lives' here, so as long as he's satisfied, that's all that matters.

"Hold it down, yes, it was specifically instructed by Uncle Yi."

"Slow down, slow down, the rope is tied tight."

"Okay, it's landed. Now, let's fill in the soil and burn paper money."

"Filial sons and virtuous grandsons, kneel!"

After the whole process was completed, the sky had cleared up.

The morning sun shines down on the stream behind the mountain, and faint rosy clouds appear on the mountaintop.

Subsequently, a beautiful arch bridge was formed above the grave.

"Oh, this..."

The elderly people were stunned and speechless when they saw it.

Even Yang Jianguo felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite express.

Some things seem to be explainable by science, such as this suddenly appearing rainbow.

It is simply caused by the dispersion and reflection of light as it enters a nearly spherical water droplet.

But at this very moment, it was placed precisely on the grave mound.

Connecting the two ends is like building a bridge for the tombstone, or perhaps it's something standing upright in the yellow earth behind the tombstone...

"Jianguo, are you alright?"

Seeing that everyone had left, he was still standing there in a daze. Yingzi shook his arm curiously.

"It's nothing." Yang Jianguo smiled thoughtfully and said, "Let's go, we're going back too."

The tedious funeral arrangements are finally over.

The courtyard house was more lively than usual, no longer quiet and desolate.

Sha Zhu invited Uncle Er, Uncle San, and the Liu family to stay temporarily.

I'll personally cook a big feast tonight to celebrate.

"No matter what, we've been neighbors for many years. It's not easy to meet this time, and we don't know if we'll have the chance again."

Sha Zhu's words resonated with everyone.

It also gave them a great opportunity to reunite and get closer together.

Therefore, neither of them objected.

On the contrary, they were exceptionally proactive.

"Brother Zhu, this is homemade wine, it's been aged for seven or eight years, let's open it and have a taste today."

"Brother Zhu, this is blood sausage that someone sent last time. Do you think we need it?"

"Zhu Zi, what do you think of this old ginseng? Let's make some soup with it!"

A group of people kept bringing things into the kitchen, but every time they passed through the yard...

His eyes kept glancing towards the apartment across the hall. 'Why aren't Jian Guo and his wife out yet?'

I had already learned about the Liu family's wealth through newspapers and television.

In their view, this was all thanks to Yang Jianguo's guidance and care.

If no one took care of him, how could a cripple like him build such a big company and make so much money?

We don't need to make it that big, just one-fifth of it...

If one-tenth of the Liu family (Yan family) comes out, their descendants will never have to worry about anything.
