Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 717 Following the Master
Yan Bugui was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Ruihua smiled and blushed as she said, "I already have three children, and you still don't know what's wrong with me? I'm pregnant again."

Yan Bugui's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said, "So our family is having a double celebration now. Good news, good news. It would be even better if I had a daughter. We have to celebrate."

Yan Bugui drank a cup alone, and Yang Ruihua asked, "Let's go to Lao Zhao at the entrance of the alley tomorrow to confirm it."

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "You don't know. Principal Xu told me that as long as he is transferred there, he will let me be the logistics director. This is a done deal. Our family will not be short of money in the future, and it won't be a problem to have more children."

Yang Ruihua was stunned and said, "You want to have more children? Four isn't enough?"

Yan Bugui said, "If there is one, take it. As long as I have money, it doesn't matter if I have more."

Yang Ruihua hit him and said, "You don't feel any pain. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't manage the household."

Yan Bugui smiled, very happily. In his opinion, today was a day of many good things happening.

At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, Qi Dasheng came back and climbed over the wall again. However, as soon as he landed, he saw the door of the reception room in the hallway opened and Wang Zhan walked out, followed by Jin Bao. Wang Zhan said, "Master, you're back."

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Qi Dasheng asked.

Wang Zhan said, "I'm not sleepy yet, I'll wait for you."

Qi Dasheng opened the door of his room and said, "Come in, you want to know the result, right?"

Wang Zhan was stunned and said, "Is there a result so soon?"

"How is that possible? It's still too early. But your news is very timely and important. I came back from Shanghai just for this matter." Qi Dasheng said as he took off his coat and hung it up.

Wang Zhan went to pour a glass of water for the master and said, "Yeah? I'm glad it helps."

Qi Dasheng sat down and said, "Well, let me tell you something. We got a message from Shanghai saying that someone has recently returned from overseas. His mission is to create an explosion and cause chaos for us."

Wang Zhan asked, "Does my intelligence confirm this?"

Qi Dasheng lit a cigarette and said, "Yes, I didn't have a direction at first, but now the goal is clear, and all that's left is investigation and arrest. You have made a great contribution this time. Uncle Li asked me to thank you very much."

Wang Zhan said, "This is what I should do. Why thank me? Okay, I'm going back to sleep."

Now that he knew the result, Wang Zhan lost interest and went straight to the backyard to sleep.

Just a few days into the summer vacation, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, Fei Qing and Da Lao Tie went crazy having fun. Now the fishing rod was no longer in Wang Zhan's hands, as they had all been borrowed by them, which made Wang Li unhappy for a while.

Wang Zhan had no choice but to take her and He Yushui to Shichahai to find them whenever he had nothing to do. However, they did not go there every day, only once every few days. The rest of the time, they would study at home. Sometimes, Wang Zhan would take them to make various toys, and sometimes, he would take them to plant flowers and trees. For this reason, Wang Zhan often went to Guanyuan.

The garden gradually became colorful. By chance, Wang Zhan bought two goslings and several chicks. Yan Jiekuang built a fence and a chicken coop in a corner of the garden. However, since Jinbao saw them, he would go to the fence every day to provoke and scream, scaring the chicks and geese into their coops.

On this day, Qi Dasheng came back early and brought a lot of rare ingredients. After returning, he happily went to the kitchen to cook. Wang Zhan ran to the kitchen curiously and asked, "Master, why are you so happy today? Did you find a wife?"

Qi Dasheng was stunned when he heard this and said, "Is it because you haven't practiced for a long time and your butt is itching again?" Wang Zhan grinned and said, "Master, have you completed the task?"

Qi Dasheng smiled and said, "You are right this time. We have caught them all. Not a single one escaped."

Wang Zhan's expression darkened for a moment and he said, "What about Xiao Shandong?"

Qi Dasheng didn't even turn around and said, "The little beggar you mentioned was sent to the Qianmen shelter. There was nothing to do with him, so he was handed over to the Military Control Committee of District 9."

Wang Zhan was relieved. Qi Dasheng stopped what he was doing, turned around and said, "Why are you so interested in that little Shandong? Do you see yourself in him?"

Wang Zhan did not deny it and nodded. Qi Dasheng said, "You are different from him. You are Wang Ming's son. Some of your experiences are Wang Ming's training for you, not just life experiences. You must remember not to invite everyone into your family."

Wang Zhan nodded. He knew very well that his master was afraid that he would slowly be assimilated by those cunning people in the market.

In the evening, Qi Dasheng ordered half a catty of wine. Wang Zhan's siblings and He Yushui all sat at the table and ate together. There were four dishes on the table: roasted deer tendons, braised pork, mixed pig ears and braised tofu. The staple food was steamed buns, which Qi Dasheng brought back from the canteen of the department.

"Master, where did you get this deer tendon? It's hard to come by." Wang Zhan asked while eating.

"What a coincidence. Today, when Lao Hou's troops were building barracks, a deer ran out. When they saw it, they thought there was something good going on and shot it down with one shot. I happened to go over and took the deer tendon." Qi Dasheng said while drinking.

Wang Zhan asked, "Master, are you out of money? Why did you drink all the wine?"

Qi Dasheng was stunned and said, "Well, I, I have other things to do."

Wang Zhan said, "When are you leaving? I have some money here, I'll lend you some."

Qi Dasheng knew that Wang Zhan was rich, so he said, "Okay, this is my good disciple, I will lend it to you, a wealthy man."

Wang Li blinked her big eyes and asked, "Master, when are you leaving? When are you coming back?"

Qi Dasheng said: "It's not clear what I'm coming back for. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."

Several people were eating and chatting, mainly Qi Dasheng talking about Shanghai's urban style and cultural anecdotes.

Qi Dasheng said, "What are you going to do tomorrow? I can accompany you for a day."

Wang Zhan said, "We've been going to Shichahai to fish recently, how about we go together tomorrow?"

"Okay, I took a special leave today to accompany you." Qi Dasheng said.

After breakfast the next day, Qi Dasheng pushed the tricycle and took them to Shichahai. When they got there, they saw that the four brothers had already set up their fishing rods and were staring at the float intently.

After they came up with empty hooks, Wang Zhan took back the two fishing rods, gave one to his master and used one for himself. He Yushui and Wang Li had already carried a small bucket and the shrimp catching tools that Wang Zhan had made, and went to the river to catch shrimps. They shouted excitedly every time they caught one.
