Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 1250 An old friend leaves
In the past few days, Yang Jun has been using the supplies in the space, especially the food.

On the one hand, he wanted to enhance his familiarity with the space, and on the other hand, he was used to eating delicacies from land and sea and wanted to try street snacks.

I tried donkey meat hotpot, roujiamo, vegetable pancakes, cold noodles, rice noodles, beef noodles and so on. I have to say, I haven't eaten these things for a long time, and they are quite delicious when I take a bite.

That day, he was sitting at home bored, so he went out for a walk.

The car wandered aimlessly in Yanjing City, from the city center to the Second Ring Road, and then from the Second Ring Road to the Third Ring Road. It drove around for most of the day without a clear destination, which made Sun Zhaocai, who was driving, very anxious. He kept asking Yang Jun where he was going.

Yang Jun just didn't say anything and let him drive wherever he wanted.

If they came across any delicious snack stand on the road, Yang Jun would ask someone to go down and buy some.

In this way, the car drove around Yanjing City for about three hours. Finally, Sun Zhaocai was forced into a corner and suddenly the car drove towards Tongluogu.

About ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the gate of the slum.

Sitting in the car, Yang Jun looked at the familiar scene outside, his thoughts unable to calm down for a long time.

Familiar scenes, familiar places. He could even picture the situation here in the past, the scene of him riding his bike to work every morning, the scene of holding a meeting of the whole hospital in the evening, and the scene of fighting wits with Jia Zhang during the day...

Now this slum belongs to him, but the same scene no longer has the familiar people from the past. There are only a few old, weak and sick people helping him to watch over the yard.

"Hey."

Yang Jun sighed and got off the car.

He turned around and glanced at Sun Zhaocai, seeming to blame him for bringing him here, which made him feel a little sad.

"Go buy some food and drinks."

Sun Zhaocai rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Yang Jun had just let him go for more than three hours, and he was still unhappy. Now he was ordering him to buy wine and food, so of course he was not convinced.

Sun Zhaocai glared at Ding Erzhu and said, "Didn't you hear? Your godfather asked you to buy some wine and food."

Shazhuren wasn't very clever, but he wasn't stupid. He rolled his eyes at him and said in a buzzing voice, "Godfather asked you to go."

"you……"

Sun Zhaocai glanced at Yang Jun, only to see him staring at him with a stern face. Seeing this, he quickly smiled.

"Don't be angry. I'll go right away."

After saying that, he walked away twisting his fat butt.

After he left, Yang Jun told the guards who came with him to wait at the door.

Then he went to knock on the door.

The door was actually locked from the inside.

Yang Jun didn't take it seriously because there were only a few old guys in the yard, and the yard was so big that they couldn't take care of it, so it was reasonable to lock the door.

He knocked on the door.

After a while, an old voice was heard from inside.

"Who is it?"

When Yang Jun heard it, he knew it was the voice of the uncle Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, it's me, Yang Jun."

There was silence inside for a moment, then there was a burst of hurried footsteps, followed by the sound of a bolt being pulled, and the door opened from the inside.

The person who caught my eye was an old man named Yi Zhonghai. After not seeing him for a few months, he looked much older and his hair had turned completely white. However, he was still in good health and in good spirits.

"Uncle." Yang Jun called out.

"Hey, Junzi, why are you here?"

After saying that, he opened the door directly.

"Quick, please come inside."

Yang Jun smiled and came in.

After coming in, he first looked around the yard.

I saw that all the flowers in the row of pots near the garden had withered, as if no one had taken care of them for a long time. The ground in the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it didn't look like a place where anyone lived.

Yang Jun frowned when he saw this.

Seeing the yard so desolate, he subconsciously looked towards the house of his third uncle Yan Bugui who lived in the front yard, only to see the door closed and it didn't look like anyone lived there.

"Uncle One, you are the only one here. Why don't you see Uncle Three and Uncle Two?" Yang Jun asked.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "The two old brothers have moved away, and I am the only one left."

"Moved?"

Yang Jun frowned, wondering why the third uncle moved away without telling him.

I asked the old man to help look after this courtyard house and paid him several hundred yuan a month. Why did he leave without telling me?
Although Yang Jun frowned slightly, Yi Zhonghai still noticed it, and he quickly explained,
"I didn't make it clear. The third and second uncles are gone."

"Gone?" Yang Jun was even more confused.

"Yes, no longer."

When he said this, a look of grief flashed across Uncle Yi Zhonghai's face, and he looked very miserable.

"Old Yan passed away six months ago, and then Old Liu passed away a month later. Now I am the only one left."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and his originally straight body inexplicably became hunched.

There is nothing more sad than seeing the people around you leave one by one, especially those who you have been neighbors with for decades.

"Why didn't anyone notify me?"

Yang Jun looked sad and his tone was full of regret.

His expression is from his heart, it is a feeling from the bottom of his heart, without a trace of affectation.

Not only did the old man feel sad about the loss of his beloved neighbor, he was also filled with emotion.

Watching familiar people leave one by one, that feeling is really something that young people cannot understand. The longer he lives, the lonelier he feels. Even though he now has many children and grandchildren, he still cannot hide the loneliness deep in his heart.

Those friends, colleagues, and family members will leave him sooner or later, and he will be alone at that time. Sometimes, immortality may not be a bad thing. He does not have the courage to commit suicide, so he can only live on and endure this loneliness and desolation.

"I can't notify you."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he sighed.

I thought to myself, our statuses are getting more and more different now, we are not even in the same circle, and we all know our own limitations, so how could we have the nerve to get close to you?

He was the most prestigious and respected person in this compound, but now he could only be reduced to guarding Yang Jun's house, let alone other people.

Yi Zhonghai led Yang Jun to the place where the three uncles used to drink tea.

It's a desolate place. There used to be three chairs there, but now there's only one left. The gaps between the surrounding tiles are full of weeds, which adds a sense of desolation to the sad and lonely atmosphere.

"Junzi, sit down."

An old man gave the only chair to Yang Jun, but he sat on the ground instead.

Seeing this, Yang Jun felt a little embarrassed.

Even at such an old age, he still tries to curry favor with me.

However, after a moment of relaxation, I felt relieved.

He didn't act pretentiously and just sat on it.

"Uncle One, please tell me more about Uncle Two and Uncle Three." Yang Jun said.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai looked up at Yang Jun, seeming a little surprised, and then couldn't help but sigh: "Only your Junzi still cares about us old guys, unlike those people in the yard, especially Old Yan and Old Liu's unfilial sons... Alas." "What's wrong with them?" Yang Jun asked.

After saying that, Yang Jun took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and he also lit one.

After Yi Zhonghai took the cigarette from Yang Jun, he put it directly between his ears.

"My lungs are damaged. I can't pump anymore."

After that, he continued, "Old Liu and Old Yan's unfilial sons got together to discuss not notifying you. I guess they just want to cheat you out of your salary. Look, they have already successfully cheated you out of several months' salary, haven't they?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun sneered and shook his head.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiedi, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu, those bastards are really capable of doing such a thing, especially the bastards from Third Uncle's family, who have completely learned Third Uncle's calculating skills, and are even better than him. Things like cheating on wages really seem like something they would do.

For the sake of a mere few hundred yuan salary every month, he actually concealed the news of his father's death. If Yang Jun had not come to the old house on a whim this time, he would not have known that the second and third uncles were gone. It was not that he cared about the salary, but was mainly sad about the departure of the old people. Every departure of a familiar person would touch his heart, even if this person had a feud with him in the beginning.

"It's not a big deal if it's just a few hundred dollars."

Yang Jun shook his head.

The old man also sighed when he heard this.

This is the end of having sons and grandsons. Even if they are dead, they will be used to defraud money. If his biological son Jia Dongxu was still alive, would he do such a thing?
Finally, he came to a positive answer.

It's not that people have changed, but that the world has changed. People nowadays are not as kind as people in the past, and they don't value filial piety as much.

"Uncle, is that salary enough for you to spend? How about I give you a little more every month?"

When Yang Jun thought about how the old man was getting old and needed money for medical treatment and medicine, he was afraid that the few hundred yuan he had in a month would not be enough.

"That's enough, that's enough, no need to add more."

Yi Zhonghai said quickly: "When people get old, they have fewer desires and are not so greedy, so they spend less money. As for their health... they are still doing well. They don't need to take medicine or get injections, and they don't cost much. There is really no need to add any more."

Hearing this, Yang Jun said, "Okay, I understand."

However, he decided in his heart to go back and explain and add a little more.

He just wants the old man to live a more comfortable and longer life. I want to try my best to delay the people around me from leaving one by one.

As for the various grudges in the past, as he grew older, he felt that they no longer mattered, and he believed that the old man thought so too.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Old Yi, are there guests at home?"

Yang Jun heard someone talking and looked back, only to see Jia Zhang walking towards him with a pot of tea.

When Yang Jun saw that it was Jia Zhang, he was stunned for a moment, then called out, "Aunt Jia."

Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai had obtained their marriage certificate several months ago. They were now a legal couple, and it was only natural for them to live together.

Seeing that it was Yang Jun, Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became unhappy.

All the past grudges suddenly flooded into her mind. Thinking about how Yang Jun had treated her in the past, she became furious.

Seeing Yang Jun, Jia Zhang didn't say anything and just walked back with the teapot in her hand.

"Old lady, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "A guest is a guest. What are you doing?"

"return."

Jia Zhang still listened to Yi Zhonghai's words.

She walked halfway and turned back, twisting her fat butt.

"boom!"

He threw the teapot on the table and glared at Yang Jun.

"Who are you calling Aunt Jia?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Aunt Yi, I was wrong. Don't argue with me."

"Humph!"

Seeing that Yang Jun had changed his words and admitted his mistake, Jia Zhang did not make things too difficult for Yang Jun.

However, he did not give Yang Jun a good look. He stood beside her, leaning against the pillar, and stared at her with his eyes rolled back.

Seeing this, Yang Jun decided not to argue with her.

How can a person of such age still be so irritable? This is not in line with the characteristics of an elderly person at all.

Yang Jun looked at Yi Zhonghai's figure, which was skinny, and then looked at Jia Zhang's barrel waist, which could be described in two words: plump.

"Ha ha!"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned by Yang Jun's sudden laughter.

"Junzi, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing. I know why you've lost so much weight."

After saying this, he secretly glanced at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang was slow to react and had no idea what Yang Jun meant by that. But Yi Zhonghai stole things at the first sign of trouble. No matter how old he was, he was still a man. How could he not know about the things between men?
"You kid... I'm so old and you're still making fun of me." Yi Zhonghai said with a red face.

"Hehe, it's harmless, it's harmless."

At this time, Jia Zhang also reacted. She glared at Yang Jun and muttered a few words.

Yang Jun didn't hear clearly what she said, but he guessed it was definitely not something good.

He was too lazy to care about these things.

"By the way, Uncle Yi, now you and Aunt Yi are the only ones living in this yard. How about this, I'll give Aunt Yi a salary later."

"This……"

The old man was somewhat tempted after hearing this, but he was used to being a moral master, so he had to say a few polite words as soon as he opened his mouth.

Instead, it was Jia Zhang who spoke.

"Isn't that what should be done?"

"We old couple look at houses for you, but we get paid the same salary. This doesn't make sense, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai glared at her and signaled her to speak less.

On the contrary, Jia Zhang was used to being strong, so she pushed him aside.

"What's wrong with what I said? It's only natural to get paid for work. Why should you be embarrassed to say that?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun waved his hands and said, "Uncle, Aunt Yi is right. It is only natural to get paid for work. Starting from next month... no, starting from this month, I will give Aunt Yi a salary as well."

Money means nothing to Yang Jun. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

"Junzi... this..."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to accept Yang Jun's kindness.

"Thank you, uncle."

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "Uncle, please don't say that. This is what we should do."

Jia Zhang, who was standing by, was taking advantage of the situation. Seeing that Yang Jun was so easy to fool, she rolled her eyes.

"Mr. Yang, you can't calculate my salary like this. If you want to pay me, can you also give me the salary for the previous few months?"

Yang Jun: "..."
