Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 794 Official reinstatement
September 1st was the first day of school. What the students didn’t know was that two days before school started, Teacher Yang had already found Wang Zhan and the others to help with some of the moving work. When Xiao Wu stupidly stood at the window and shouted, “I finally moved to the third floor!”

Teacher Yang was so angry that she almost kicked him down from the third floor. Teacher Yang is lovely and worthy of respect. She is gentle, patient, loving, and not partial. Wang Zhan and the others all respect Teacher Yang very much, so they listen to what she says.

The day before school started, the little girl Wang Li was very excited, but also a little disappointed, because Zhang Erya was captured by old man Zhang. Wang Li and Zhang Erya planned to sleep together tonight and leave together tomorrow morning.

On the first day of school in 1956, the students were busy, the teachers were busy, and the parents were busy too, except for the senior students like Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan didn't feel anything, except that there was one more floor upstairs. He still sat in the last row of the classroom, but this time he was sitting by the window, looking down from above, with a panoramic view of the entire playground and the gate.

After the school's opening ceremony in the morning, the teacher began to organize everyone to clean the school. They had to go out to do farm work in the afternoon, so there were almost no classes today. Just as Wang Zhan was sitting in the back row in a daze, Xiaowu and Xiaosi ran over mysteriously from outside, followed by Wang Li.

As soon as Wang Li entered the classroom, she saw her brother, called Wang Zhan, ran over and said, "I'll tell you a secret."

Wang Zhan burst out laughing. This was the first time his sister had shared a secret with him since she was a child. He asked, "What secret?" and then held her in his lap.

Wang Li said: "Well, that bad guy with the lame glasses is the class teacher again."

Wang Zhan was stunned when he heard it, but then he understood that his sister was talking about Yan Bugui. Wang Zhan looked at Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, and Xiao Si nodded and said, "We didn't believe what our sister said, so we went downstairs to see that Teacher Yan was accepting new students."

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "It's probably a huge investment. The principal is not that great. Don't worry about him. We will leave the school in a year."

Xiao Wu said hesitantly, "Brother Zhan, he won't make things difficult for Xiao Li, right?"

Xiao Si and Wang Zhan said in unison: "He dares!"

Yan Bugui was in a very complicated mood at this time. He had already spent all his last bit of knowledge as an ancient painter, and only then was he able to resume his job. On the other hand, he was also happy to have his job back, but overall, he felt that he had paid too much.

On the first day of work, he took over a new class. He was familiar with the job, but he no longer dared to scold the parents who sent their children to the class for no reason like he did before. He behaved properly and did not dare to show any unnecessary behavior.

This makes the parents who send their children to school feel that Yan Bugui is an experienced and respected teacher, and they are very satisfied with Yan Bugui.

On the other hand, the principal was also very nervous. Although Yan Bugui kept assuring that he had changed for the better, the principal agreed to let him return to his post for a probationary period for the sake of the two Ming paintings. But he was afraid that he would repeat the same mistakes, so he secretly listened to parents' feedback at the school gate. He was relieved to hear that Yan Bugui had become the most respected teacher of the first year in primary school.

What Yan Bugui didn't know was that there was another piece of good news waiting for him in the courtyard.

It turned out that after Yan Bugui was removed from Courtyard No. 95, there had been a lack of a manager in the front yard. Before that, Yan Bugui was in charge. Although Yan Bugui was petty-minded and wanted to take advantage of everyone he met before letting them in, Yan Bugui had one advantage: he was very serious about guarding the gate.

He was the first one to get up in the morning to open the gate, and locked the gate at 9 o'clock in the evening. As long as he was there, he would definitely guard the gate. He would ask any strangers who came to him. This was called being responsible. Of course, he would definitely take advantage of others. Even if he was not there during the day, he would tell his wife Yang Ruihua to guard the gate. Although the subdistrict office was very satisfied with Yan Bugui's performance, they had never considered letting him serve as the manager again, and had been considering other candidates. After understanding the situation of the subdistrict office, Uncle Li, who lived in the back house and worked at the purchasing station, became the first choice. Uncle Li was a retired soldier, upright, and strict with himself, and was exactly the right candidate.

Just when the subdistrict office was preparing to hand over the position of manager to Uncle Li, things took a turn for the better. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong jointly found the subdistrict office and Director Wang, hoping that Yan Bugui would be reinstated, and they said many good things about Yan Bugui.

It was Yan Bugui's previous attitude of being serious and responsible in guarding the gate that moved Director Wang. On the other hand, Director Wang also felt sorry for Uncle Li. He had been exposed to bullets all his life, and it was a bit unfair for him to come back to spend his old age worrying about these things. After a period of ideological struggle, he finally agreed to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's suggestions and let Yan Bugui resume his post. That day was the first day of school.

Yan Bugui, who had worked a day, was very tired. He walked into the courtyard with a neutral expression. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Yang Ruihua happily holding Yan Jiedi and welcoming him in. He said, "Old Yan, why did you come back just now? Are you tired? Old Yi has been looking for you twice. I guess he will come over soon. Go home and wash up. I'll make tea for you."

Yan Bugui forced a smile, carried his bag and walked into his home, sitting down on a stool. Yang Ruihua put Yan Jiedi on the bed, then walked to the table with a teacup and handed the tea to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui asked, "Do you know what you want to see me about?"

"I didn't ask, but he and Liu Haizhong both came and said they would come to see you after you got off work."

"Okay, you go and take care of the girl. We'll have dinner when the children come back." Yan Bugui said, holding up the teacup.

Just as Yang Ruihua entered the inner room, Liu Haizhong pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Old Yan, I have good news for you, haha!"

Yan Bugui was stunned and thought, I didn’t tell anyone that I returned to work, how did Liu Haizhong know?
Yan Bugui still smiled and said, "Old Liu is here, please sit down quickly. Ruihua, pour me a cup of tea."

Liu Haizhong said, "Old Yan, you have to thank me. I have done a lot for you."

Yan Bugui was even more confused now. "That's not right. I did my job by myself and just got back to work. What does it have to do with you? What does Lao Liu mean by that?"

Yan Bugui asked, "Old Liu, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Just as Lao Liu was about to answer, he heard the door open again. Before anyone came in, a voice came in first, "Lao Yan, you have to thank me. I ran around for you."

This time, not only Yan Bugui was stunned, but Liu Haizhong was also stunned. They saw Yi Zhonghai pushing the door open and entering.
