Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 764 Glasses Story
Life went on and people gradually forgot about the spy incident. But slowly, changes began to take place in Yuer Hutong. The neighbors in the hutong got to know the brother and sister in Yard 43. They would take a look at them whenever they passed by intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes they would also see a few little guys busying about in and out. After all, tricycles could not enter the yard and could only be parked at the gate.

As for No. 95 Maoer Hutong, except for the eldest uncle's wife Li Cuilan who once came to visit the brother and sister, everyone else had forgotten about the victim of this incident.

A few days after Yan Bugui came back, he suddenly remembered his glasses. He remembered that when he left, because he was masked, the people who arrested him took off his glasses. He felt that someone had put them on the eight-immortals table. It was a few days after he came back that he suddenly remembered them.

He went out and shouted, "Mother, mother, come back, I have something to ask you."

Yang Ruihua, who was sitting at the door picking vegetables and chatting with a few neighbors, came home with a basket of vegetables and asked as soon as he entered the house, "Dad, what's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"

"Let me ask you, on the day I was arrested, my glasses were placed on the table. Did you see it?" Yan Bugui asked anxiously.

Yang Ruihua chuckled and said, "I was wondering if you looked weird these past two days. It turns out you were missing a pair of glasses. I didn't notice it. It was very messy at the time and I didn't notice it. I didn't notice it when I cleaned it up later."

The two people were chatting and they didn't notice that Yan Jiefang, who was reading a book in the corner, shrank his neck and ran out quietly.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng, carrying his schoolbag and whistling, returned from his classmate's house under the scorching sun. He was so happy because he had another lunch at his classmate's house, which also included bone soup. Although there was no meat, the taste was unforgettable.

Before he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a panicked child looking around at the entrance. Yan Jiecheng looked closely and realized that it was his younger brother. Who was he waiting for?

Yan Jiecheng smiled evilly, hid his body, tiptoed over quietly, and shouted "Liberation!"

Yan Jiefang was so frightened that he jumped up high. He turned around and saw that it was his brother. He said, "Brother, you are so bad. Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

"Tsk, it's noon and the sun is so high, who would be scared? Are you feeling guilty?" Yan Jiecheng said disdainfully.

"Brother, you are still happy. Do you know that my dad remembered his glasses and has been looking for them for the whole morning. He has turned the house upside down, and you are still happy." Yan Jiefang said with a roll of his eyes.

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he said guiltily, "What does it have to do with me? You weren't the one who dropped the glasses on the ground. If anyone is looking for them, they should be looking for you. That's right, it has nothing to do with me."

Yan Jiefang was just a child at that time, after all, he was only seven years old. He got anxious when he heard it and said, "Brother, you broke the glasses by stepping on them. What does it have to do with me? Wow!"

Yan Jiefang was frightened and burst into tears. Seeing his brother crying, Yan Jiecheng became anxious and quickly advised him, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Your brother is here. Let me think about it."

Yan Jiefang was sobbing beside him. Yan Jiecheng's eyes rolled around. He thought carefully and said, "Okay, Jiefang, I have a way. Don't worry about it, but don't tell anyone, not even mom, okay?" Yan Jiefang pouted and thought to himself, "With your IQ, what good solution can you come up with?" But after all, his elder brother had let the matter go, so he said, "Then it's up to you. You're the best, elder brother."

Yan Jiecheng was very pleased after hearing this and left triumphantly. Yan Jiefang ran towards the courtyard with his short legs.

The next day, early in the morning, Yan Bugui woke up from his sweet dream. This was the most sound sleep he had had in nearly one and a half months. Because he had to open the door, he always got up early out of habit, and this was also his biological clock adapting after he came back.

After getting up, he first sat up and was dazed for a while. Then he picked up the coat beside him and put it on. He sat on the edge of the bed and put on his pants. He habitually stretched his big feet to the cloth shoes on the ground. He heard a "click" sound. Yan Bugui was stunned at first, then looked at the ground, and saw two square objects on the edge of the shoes. He didn't have glasses and his vision was still limited.

Yan Bugui hurriedly got down to the ground barefoot, squatted on the ground and looked carefully. He saw something under his shoes that looked very familiar. After looking carefully, Yan Bugui let out a wail, and this wail woke up Yang Ruihua who was sleeping in the same bed.

Yang Ruihua saw Yan Bugui squatting on the ground, looking at something, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong so early in the morning?"

Yan Bugui raised a pair of broken glasses with trembling hands. With a painful expression, he said reluctantly, "I stepped on my glasses and broke them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua rolled his eyes and said, "It's broken, so just replace it. It's not expensive. Besides, you stepped on it yourself. Why are you yelling? The whole yard can hear you."

Yan Bugui stood up and said indignantly, "What do you know, woman? This pair of glasses is from my father. They are made of tortoise shells and are very valuable. No, I have to think of a way. I haven't gone fishing for the past two months, so the loss is huge."

After saying that, Yan Bugui put on his shoes, took his glasses and glasses legs, and left the bedroom.

While having breakfast in the morning, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang suppressed their emotions. They looked at the leg of glasses tied with a white cloth strip, wanting to laugh but not daring to. Until Yan Bugui put down his bowl, the two children rushed out with their schoolbags.

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it was not right. If he had guessed, he would have gone to bed normally yesterday and had not drunk any alcohol. Looking at the two boys who ran away, he probably had a guess.

Yang Ruihua is not idle now. In addition to cleaning the rooms of the other boys, he also has to clean his own room. Originally, the third child lived with them, but now that the fourth child was born, the third child was kicked out and lived with the other two brothers. Although he is only two years younger, there is nothing he can do.

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. There was something fishy going on here. He had been wearing slippers on the kang the night before, but there was no mention of glasses. Thinking about his son's reaction, Yan Bugui was certain that his son must be hiding something from him.

At night, the moon was above the treetops. Yan Bugui was drinking tea at home. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not the case. If there was something under his feet before he went to bed the day before yesterday, how could he not know it? When a manure truck passed by, he would smell it twice. How could he not know what was under his feet?
There is only one result: there was nothing under my feet and someone forced it in. Thinking about it carefully, I immediately thought of Yan Jiecheng.
