Siheyuan: Domineering life

That day, Yang Jun had just come out from Yang Qingxiang's place after visiting his son.

Just as I was about to hang out in the air-conditioned room by the river, Yang Anbang arrived.

"elder brother."

Yang Anbang shouted, then grabbed a watermelon on the table and started to eat it in big bites.

Yang Jun has long been accustomed to Yang Anbang's behavior. Most people who are familiar with him understand him and are not restrained. They just do whatever is convenient for them. What's more, they are family, so there is no need to be formal.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

After Yang Anbang finished eating the watermelon in a few bites, he felt a little cooler and wiped his mouth.

"Brother, I plan to go back to worship my ancestors tomorrow, so I came to tell you."

"Before you leave, do you have anything to say?"

After saying that, he looked straight at Yang Jun.

"Sacrifice to ancestors?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun blinked a few times and continued, "Why are you offering sacrifices to your ancestors when it's not a festival?"

Besides, there is an ancestral temple in the suburbs of Yanjing, so there is no need to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors.

Hearing this, Yang Anguo sighed and said, "Brother, I just want to go back to see my hometown and miss grandpa."

In fact, he had been muttering in his heart for a long time. Yang Jun's father's grave was in Yanjing, so he didn't have to go back, but he couldn't. His mother was buried in his hometown. He had been away for so many years and had never been able to go back to see her. Besides, his grandparents were still buried in his hometown, so he had to go back to see them no matter what.

Of course, he couldn't say these words.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yang Jun seemed to have guessed something, so he said, "Okay, let's go back and take a look, but..."

Glancing at him, Yang Jun continued, "Are you sure you want to go back? After all, the last time you stabbed your second uncle..."

Yang Jun didn't say anything else, but looked into his eyes.

Although the incident was an accidental injury, it was after all a son who stabbed his father with a knife. This kind of thing is hard to explain but difficult to spread. In the eyes of the outside world, especially his neighbors, Yang Anbang is an unfilial son and his reputation is not very good.

Upon hearing this, Yang Anbang smiled bitterly.

"I know, but... I can't stop visiting my mother just for the sake of my reputation."

"It was my fault in the first place. It's normal for everyone to see me the way they do. I don't blame them. Besides... they are all outsiders. I don't care what they think."

When Yang Jun heard this, he nodded happily.

Yang Anbang has indeed matured. He used to be a very face-conscious person, but now he is willing to sacrifice his reputation.

Although "thick-skinned" is a derogatory term, it is a sign of a mature man. The worldview that disregards worldly opinions is indeed universal. As long as one is strong enough in heart, no one in this world can hurt oneself.

"Well, you have matured." Yang Jun said lightly.

"Hey, every failure makes you wiser. How can you not be mature?" Yang Anbang smiled bitterly.

At this point, he changed the subject and continued, "I will leave tomorrow. Do you have anything to tell me?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun rolled his eyes and thought for a moment: "Kowtow a few more times to grandpa and grandma for me."

"elder brother."

Upon hearing this, Yang Anbang shook his head and smiled.

Such a big leader is acting like a child.

"Just like that. Kowtow to my grandparents more often for me. Don't cut corners. It's best if you can record it with a camera and show it to me." Yang Jun warned him.

"Brother." Yang Anbang looked at him with a smile: "If you are really filial, why don't you go back and worship your ancestors in person?"

"I'm busy." Yang Jun rolled his eyes.

"Yes, yes, you are busy fishing."

"Get lost, did I fish?" Yang Jun glared at him.

He wasn't fishing in the first place. He was clearly in the air-conditioned room enjoying the cool air, so he could speak with a clear conscience.

"Yes, yes, you weren't fishing, you were busy... you were busy..."

Yang Anbang scratched his head and rolled his eyes, trying to find a reason why he couldn't go back to worship his ancestors, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't come up with one.

"Okay, since you're so busy, I'll go back and kowtow a few more times for you."

"That's more like it." Yang Jun rolled his eyes.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then continued, "What has An Guo been doing recently? Why doesn't he come to have tea with me?"

"He wants to have tea with you, but he can't get through your door."

This time it was Yang Anbang's turn to roll his eyes.

Everyone knows that getting into Yang Jun's house is harder than climbing to the sky. He made an appointment several days in advance and came no less than ten times before he was able to see Yang Jun. If it were someone else, he might never see him in his lifetime.

Don’t you see that there are people visiting Yang Jun’s house every day? If everyone can be seen, it would be weird.

"is it?"

Yang Jun scratched his head, then blinked and said, "I'll tell the guard later. You can come to see me directly in the future."

"Thank you." Yang Anbang teased.

"Young Master, you are so weird." Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let An Guo come to see me."

Upon hearing this, Yang Anbang said, "He just came back from the coal mine these two days and is at home. I'll let him come to see you later."

After saying that, he stood up and said, “Brother, if there is nothing else, I will leave first?”

"Go away." Yang Jun waved his hand.

Seeing that Yang Jun closed his eyes, Yang Anbang tactfully left the air-conditioned room.

About half an hour later, Yang Anguo arrived.

"elder brother."

This guy doesn't consider himself an outsider. As soon as he enters the air-conditioned room, he starts to clean up the fruits on the table.

His clothes were all soaked with sweat, and the wet clothes stuck tightly to his body, exposing all the flesh on his body. It was not that he had a lot of muscles, but he had gained weight due to the pampered life over the years, and those so-called muscles were actually fat.

Hearing the call, Yang Jun opened his eyes, looked at him, and then dozed off for a few seconds.

"coming?"

"Hmmmm..."

Yang Anguo had something in his mouth and his speech was unclear.

"Are you busy recently?" Yang Jun asked.

"Busy, very busy, so busy that I can't even keep my feet on the ground."

After saying that, Yang Anguo paused for a moment, and then continued, "However, brother, if you have something to tell me, I will do your job first even if I am very busy."

Hearing this, Yang Jun looked at him with great satisfaction.

This guy has also matured. Rather than saying he is mature, it would be better to say that he has become more and more sophisticated. This guy's maturity is different from that of his brother Yang Anbang. He is shrewd with a hint of badness, giving people the feeling of an old man.

"Well, there is indeed something for you to do."

Having said that, Yang Jun opened his eyes and sat up.

As he refilled his cup with tea, he said, "Did you know that I built a shelter in the Shiwandashan Mountains?"

"I heard Cheng Dao say that."

Yang Anguo said while eating a watermelon, "Brother, please tell me what I need."

"I plan to let you be in charge of things over there." Yang Jun said dimly.

"Let me be responsible... Isn't Xiaowu in charge?" Yang Anguo was stunned.

"You two have different divisions of labor. He is responsible for building the shelter, and you are responsible for purchasing supplies." Yang Jun.

"The shelter has just started to be built, do we need to purchase supplies so early?" Yang Anguo muttered to himself, then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Brother, did you hear something..."

When Yang Jun heard this, he turned back and glared at him.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. Just do as I say."

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't ask."

Yang Anguo blinked a few times with a smile on his face.

He used to be Yang Jun's driver for several years, so he naturally knew that there were some things that a small person like him shouldn't know. Since Yang Jun asked him to purchase supplies, he must have his reasons.

They all have the surname Yang and are a family. If anything happens, Yang Jun will naturally take them with him. It can be seen from the fact that Yang Jun asked him to be responsible for purchasing supplies that Yang Jun still has them in his heart.

"And you……"

Yang Jun tapped the table with his hand and said, "There's no rush for this. I'll give you five years. You need to use this time to prepare everything you need and purchase supplies."

"Food, seeds, cotton, cloth, machinery and equipment, electronic equipment, kitchen utensils..."

Seeing Yang Jun counting the names of the items, Yang Anguo immediately became nervous. He sat there, trying hard to remember what he needed to purchase.

"Cars, ships, rubber products, and even live livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep all need to be prepared."

Yang Jun counted a bunch of things, then looked up at Yang Anguo: "Imagine the end of the world, now you know what to prepare, right?"

"Brother, I understand."

Yang Anguo sat upright, his face solemn, and said, "Brother, leave this matter to me, don't worry, I will do it for you."

Yang Jun nodded after hearing this.

He believed that Yang Anguo could do a good job in this matter, after all, he was also a beneficiary.

Yang Anguo's expression became more and more serious. He leaned closer to Yang Jun and asked in a low voice, "Brother, have you heard any news? Can you..."

"Ok?"

Yang Jun glared at him, and Yang Anguo was so scared that he quickly stuck out his tongue.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask."

"Keep your mouth shut, don't let any leaks come out." Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows about this, and I won't tell anyone, including my wife." Yang Anguo patted his chest and promised.

"It's not that serious, just in case." Yang Jun said lightly to ease the atmosphere.

"Hehe, I know."

Yang Anguo blinked at Yang Jun a few times, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

He knew Yang Jun. If he hadn't heard some news, he wouldn't have spent a huge amount of money to build such a useless thing. Besides, being in this circle, his sensitivity and sense of smell are often much stronger than ordinary people. Think about the international situation, especially in recent years, the relationship with a certain big country is not very harmonious, and it has threatened to set off fireworks in the mainland five times.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that Yang Jun must know some inside information, and he took this matter more seriously.

"Brother, don't worry. I will put aside everything I have on hand and focus on this matter."

After saying that, Yang Anguo said to himself: "It's almost time to set off fireworks. Making money is not that important. It's more important to save your life."

When Yang Jun heard this, he rolled his eyes at him.

"It's not that urgent..."

"I know, I know. I can't ask, and I can't tell... I know the priorities here."

Yang Jun sighed after hearing this.

He was too lazy to care about him, but it was a good thing, as this would allow this guy to focus on this matter.

"It's up to you. You have to purchase supplies, but you can't put aside your work at the mine," Yang Jun reminded.

"I know. I can handle it."

After a slight pause, Yang Anguo suddenly came up to Yang Jun and asked in a low voice: "Brother, there is no one else here, please reveal a little."

"Get lost." Yang Jun said quietly.

"Got it."

Yang Anguo stood up with a chuckle, threw his wet clothes over his shoulders, and prepared to leave.

"Brother, I'm going to do something."

After saying that, he turned and walked away. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back.

"Brother, can you tell the guard to let me come in directly next time so that you can make it easier for me and do my job..."

Yang Jun waved his hand impatiently.

When Yang Anguo saw this, he knew that Yang Jun agreed.

"Okay, thanks bro."

Just as he was about to leave, he immediately said, "By the way, brother, there is one more thing..."

"Go to the wine cellar and get it yourself." Yang Jun said impatiently.

He knew what Yang Anguo meant without asking. A man remains a young man until he dies, so he naturally knew what Yang Anguo wanted.

"Thank you, brother. I was waiting for you to say this."

After saying that, Yang Anguo left happily.

After he left, Yang Jun was finally able to have some peace and quiet.

It was too hot outside. The branches and leaves of the trees around the pond were drooping. The water in the pond was steaming and ready to boil at any time. Even the dog at home had already hidden in the shade to escape the heat. However, his air-conditioned room was very cool. Lying on the rattan chair, Yang Jun soon began to snore softly.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yang Jun woke up slowly.

At this time, it was slightly dark outside and the street lights were on in the yard.

He got up from the rattan chair, stretched, and then walked towards the backyard.

Came to the backyard and went straight to the restaurant.

At this time, the family gathered in the restaurant and were preparing to eat.

"Hey, Lao Yang, you're back."

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I ran into Chen Ruolan who was about to go out.

"I was just about to call you for dinner."

Chen Ruolan held the child in one hand and a fan in the other. Seeing that Yang Jun's forehead was covered with sweat, she hurriedly fanned him.

Yang Jun took the child from her arms and held him for a while, then asked, "Why are we having dinner at this time?"

"Hey, we're waiting for Sister Qiushui, so the dinner will be a little late."

"Oh, is Qiu Shui back?" Yang Jun asked.

"not yet."

Chen Ruolan replied: "I just received a call, she said she will be back later and asked us not to wait for her."

Hearing this, Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Is work so busy? No matter how busy you are, you have to go home for dinner."

“It’s not about work.”

Chen Ruolan looked around and saw that no one was around, so she whispered, "Sister Qiushui went to attend Linda's funeral."

When Yang Jun heard this, he suddenly realized.

Only then did she remember that Yi Qiu Shui and Linda were best friends. They grew up together and studied abroad at the same time. Now that Linda is gone, it is natural for her, as her best friend, to see her off for the last time.

"So this is ah."

Yang Jun muttered to himself, then said to Chen Ruolan: "Let's not wait for her, let's eat first." (End of this chapter)
