Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 766 Playing with Fools
When the Public Security Committee was examining the case of Yan Laosan's abduction, they noticed something unusual, especially the letter. They did not dare to handle it on their own and decided to report it. The higher-ups carefully considered the authenticity of the letter and later conducted a thorough investigation into Wang Wenyuan's past. They finally concluded that what Wang Wenyuan said was not groundless.

Yan Bugui was depressed. Yan Laosan had just arrived home for three days when he was urgently requisitioned by his superiors. You couldn't object, and the requisition would last for a year. You couldn't appeal. The only benefit he got was that Yan Laosan, who was less than two years old, enjoyed the salary of a national seventh-level clerk, which was 545,000 yuan, and corresponding benefits and bills would be delivered regularly.

Yang Ruihua cried every day. After thinking about it for a few days, Yan Bugui finally came to his senses. He felt that this was good. A two-year-old child earned more than him, and he didn't say anything about life or death. He should be living a better life than himself in the secret military base. He would have a fourth child anyway, so he stopped worrying about it and kept comforting his wife Yang Ruihua.

When the Siheyuan courtyard heard the news, it was like a pot of boiling water. No one expected that the first person to jump out was the old lady in the backyard. The old lady actually claimed that she wanted to adopt Yan Jiekuang as her godson. For this purpose, she found Yi Zhonghai and went together to look for Yan Bugui.

Although Yan Bugui suffered so many losses, he is not a fool. He has reflected on himself in the past month or two and realized that he is still immersed in the old society's tricks of taking advantage, which include some of the tricks of small traders. But now it is a new society and that trick will not work. Therefore, his thinking changed quickly.

On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai was confused by the old lady's behavior. The old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai who seemed to be rejecting and said, "Whose world is it now? The government's world. Is there anything wrong with what the government wants to do? No, are you stupid? The government is taking care of Yan Lao San, so why don't we rush over to get close to them?"

Yi Zhonghai understood it all at once. It was either because old people become more shrewd or the old lady seemed to understand the situation clearly. But he did not expect that Yan Bugui also understood it. He spoke vaguely to the two of them and did not mention the matter of adopting a grandson.

The matter was left unresolved, but Yan Bugui was also a cunning man. In order to divert the attention of the people in the yard, he specifically said that He Yushui had a good relationship with Wang Zhan, a classmate from the alley in front. What's more, this really attracted the attention of the old lady and Yi Zhonghai, because Sha Zhu was an indispensable part of their retirement plan, and a very important part.

This was also because Yan Jiecheng was too talkative. He became arrogant after receiving the reward. He talked about his great achievements every day and made up all sorts of nonsense. In the end, he portrayed himself as the person who gave Yan Laosan a second life. In the process, he unknowingly mentioned the classmate He Yushui he met, and this made Yan Bugui know about it.

He Yushui has not returned to the courtyard recently. One reason is to review new lessons, and the other is that they have organized a Red Star Group and are helping out in a private nursing home with the assistance of a tutor. The name of this nursing home is "Lou's Nursing Home."

That's right, this nursing home was opened by the Lou family after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the aim of helping the lonely elderly. The children would go there and do what they could when they had nothing to do. During this period, they also became good friends with Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e was brought here by her mother, who is the honorary dean.

During the break, the children would play with a ball in the nursing home. The old people would drink tea at the gate and were very happy to see the children laughing. The old people liked these children very much, especially the youngest one, Lili. She was the treasure of the nursing home and no one was allowed to touch her, not even Zhu Sanpang in the kitchen.

It was getting dark in Yard No. 95. Today the street office held a meeting to discuss the issue of electricity connection. After the meeting, Yi Zhonghai called Sha Zhu to his home.

As soon as Sha Zhu entered the room, he shouted, "Oh, grandma, you are here. If I had known, I would not have opened the door and would have come to pay my respects to you."

The old lady smiled brightly and said, "Grandson, why haven't you been to the backyard recently? Grandma misses you."

"Don't mention it. The master is leaving these days, so he took me to practice cooking whenever he had time, fearing that I wouldn't be able to take over the work. That's why I'm busy. It will be fine in a few days, and your grandson will be the chef, so he won't be busy anymore." Sha Zhu explained. The old lady was even happier, and said, "My eldest grandson is still promising. Don't worry, grandma will wait."

Yi Zhonghai handed a cigarette to Sha Zhu and said, "Doesn't that mean you'll be promoted soon? That's good. Things will get better and better."

"Thank you, uncle, for your good wishes. But my brother Dongxu is not bad either. He is going to pass the elementary level exam and everyone says he can pass it." Sha Zhu said.

Yi Zhonghai chuckled and said, "That kid is very smart, so we don't need to worry about him. But his mother is really a troublemaker. I have to take responsibility every time."

After a few small talk, Yi Zhonghai suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Zhu Zi, is your sister going to school well?"

When Sha Zhu heard the old man suddenly mention his sister, he was also stunned. It seemed that he had not seen his sister for a long time, but he was still very firm and said, "It's okay, so-so, I don't need to worry about it."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he felt uneasy. It seemed that he had not given money to his sister for half a year, and he did not care about her meals. How did she survive? Sha Zhu felt a little regretful. After all, she was his sister, how could he have forgotten about her completely? It was all He Daqing's fault. You said you would run away, but you did it twice. By the way, you said you would send living expenses to your sister. Who has the money now? Did his sister get it?

In fact, what he didn't know was that after Wang Wenyuan left for the second time, He Yushui's living expenses were sent to Director Wang of the Street Office. This was agreed upon with He Daqing. He Yushui went to Director Wang on time to collect the money, which contained her living expenses and her tuition.

After listening to this, the old lady squinted her eyes and thought carefully about the influence that He Yushui would have on Sha Zhu. After thinking it over, she felt that Sha Zhu was doing well now. If he could remember his sister, it might have an impact on her future retirement. After thinking it over, she said directly: "Sha Zhu, this means that your sister has become independent and does not need your protection anymore. You are relieved now."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned when he heard what the old lady said. Then he thought about it and understood it all at once. He immediately agreed and said, "That's right, Zhuzi, you really have a good sister. You don't have to worry about her. If you put your mind to work, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was immediately happy. He felt that what the old lady and the old man said were right, so he said, "That's right. I am single. When I become a chef, I can earn 355,000 yuan a month and live alone in three large rooms. Who in this city can have such conditions as me?"

Everyone in the room laughed as if they were kidding an idiot.
