Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 793 Master's Letter
Just when Wang Zhan was happily spending the summer vacation with his sister, Director Wang came to visit again. This time, Wang Zhan also brought Director Li.

He Yushui washed a plate of apricots and brought a pot of tea to the round table under the grapevines. Director Wang was surprised and asked, "Where did you buy the apricots? They are so fresh."

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "It's not fresh. I just picked it this morning. I have this tree in my garden. It has been there for several years. I can only eat it this year."

Director Li said, "Okay, that's great. I'll go pick them after we finish talking. Are there any others?"

Wang Li said coquettishly: "Uncle Li, there are a lot of them, but some are edible and some are not. I will take you there later."

Director Wang took a sip of tea and said, "I brought you a letter this time. It's from your master, but I'm not sure which master it is from, and the name is not on it. If it's from your master Qi, you can take a good look at it yourself. If it's from Blind Chen or Taoist Wang, you have to let Captain Li take a look."

Wang Zhan was stunned and asked, "How did you send it by mail? Don't you have an address?"

Chief Li said: "This morning, he suddenly appeared in the basement of the police station's guard room and was almost thrown away by my friend as trash."

Wang Zhan took the letter and looked at the handwriting. He really had no impression of it, so he could only open it. When he opened it, he saw another envelope inside, with the name of Blind Chen written on it.

Wang Zhan still has some opinions about Blind Chen. After all, Blind Chen almost killed him. He handed the letter directly to Director Li.

Director Li did not hesitate and opened it directly. Wow, there were three articles. Director Li read it for a long time and then handed it to Director Wang. Director Wang was about to pass it to Wang Zhan after reading it. Wang Zhan waved his hand and said, "I don't need to read it. I can guess what he wants to say. Is he going to ask me to go back? Dream on."

Director Li looked at Wang Zhan in surprise and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Wang Zhan said, "I know this cheap master too well. I guess what happened here has been reported to him. I guess he is having a hard time and can't run away. I guess he can't find Taoist Wang and can only ask me for help. He is so happy."

Director Li was amused and said, "Your guess is quite accurate, but because it involves Blind Chen, I have to report this letter."

Wang Zhan agreed, and after chatting for a few more words, Wang Zhan sent the two out. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Auntie Sun standing at the door. Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Auntie Sun, why are you here? Come in and sit down. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Aunt Sun said, "No, you didn't go out to buy vegetables this morning, so I didn't bother you."

Wang Zhan invited Aunt Sun to the backyard, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "Aunt Sun, are you okay? Come here often and bring your grandchildren with you. My sister will have a playmate here, right?"

Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come often from now on, don't be annoyed."

"How could that be possible? You've helped me so much, how could I be annoyed?"

Aunt Sun hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Zhan, Aunt Sun has something to ask you, what do you think?"

Wang Zhan said, "You say, as long as I can do it." Aunt Sun said, "You see, autumn is coming soon, and then winter. My little grandchildren have no clothes or cotton-padded jackets. You know, there are only three of us in my family, and we don't have enough cloth and cotton coupons. I wonder if you have any extra ones, just consider it as a loan, and I will definitely pay you back when I have extra ones in the future."

Wang Zhan didn't hesitate and said, "Auntie Sun, please wait a moment."

After that, Wang Zhan returned to the east bedroom, took out a box, and without opening it, took it directly back to the round table. After opening it, he found four five-chi cloth coupons and two five-jin cotton coupons, handed them to Aunt Sun, and asked, "Are these enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough. Children's cotton coats and pants are relatively small, so they don't need so many." Aunt Sun said.

"It's okay. You can make one for yourself with the remaining ones. Look at you. I saw how thin your cotton-padded jacket was last year. You must have used the cotton inside on your grandchildren. I can't use it, and it will be a waste. I have a lot of military uniforms, you know that." Wang Zhan said.

Aunt Sun was extremely grateful, and couldn't help shedding tears when she heard Wang Zhan's words expressing his concern for her. Wang Zhan quickly comforted her and chatted with her granddaughter and grandson for a while, and then Aunt Sun said goodbye.

After a period of time, Wang Zhan distributed the unused tickets to Xiaowu, Xiaosi and Da Laotie's family. The adults of those three families insisted on paying for them, but Wang Zhan refused. When the stalemate ended, they just discounted the price by half and accepted Wang Zhan's favor.

Strangely enough, since He Yushui moved here, Courtyard No. 95 has been quiet for a while, but we learned from the neighbors next door that two girls were born in that yard in 1955, one was Jia Dang from the Jia family, and the other was Yan Jie Di from the Yan family.

The two maids were treated completely differently. Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua liked their own maids very much, while Jia Zhangshi disliked this maid and scolded Qin Huairu for a long time, while Jia Dongxu just watched by the side and did not try to dissuade her.

Now all the housework of the Jia family was thrown to Qin Huairu. Jia Zhangshi did not do any housework at all. She took the four-year-old Jia Geng to show off everywhere every day, which annoyed the neighbors very much. But for the sake of Yi Zhonghai's face, everyone just put up with it.

Sha Zhu put his mind back on work, but he was so frustrated that his mouth became more and more foul. Of course, if you don't hire him, he will ignore you, but as long as you hire him, no matter who it is, he will scold you. Except for the old lady in the backyard and the uncle's family, he ignores everyone.

Xu Damao is now struggling to get a regular job and has no time to cause trouble in the yard.

In the end, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhang in the backyard became the most annoying people in the entire courtyard. The second uncle walked around the yard with a bulging belly every day, and whenever there was something going on in someone's house, he would go up and say a few words, but he could never get to the point after talking for a long time, which annoyed the neighbors in the courtyard.

During this period, Yan Bugui never strolled around the door. He just read books at home when he had nothing to do. Although his salary was reduced, he still had some savings. In fact, Yan Bugui was working hard and showing his efforts. At least the street office was satisfied with Yan Bugui's performance.

As for the school, the people in the Siheyuan and Wang Zhan and the others didn't know that the principal had already promised him that he would be able to resume his teaching job at the beginning of the next semester, but he would only be responsible for the lower grades.

Wang Zhan had a very happy vacation, and so did Wang Li. With He Yushui's company, she never had a boring moment. Her shadow was everywhere in the yard. In Wang Zhan's words, she was just short of climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles.

In addition to Wang Zhan's classmates, there is another classmate of Wang Li who often comes to the yard, Wang Erya, the daughter of Old Man Wang who runs the breakfast stall at the door. She spends almost half of the entire holiday in Wang Zhan's yard, so Old Man Wang has to bring breakfast to Wang Zhan every now and then, because whenever Wang Erya comes, she usually eats at his house.

Happy times are always short, and summer vacation ended with the children wailing.
