Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 831 Suffering is a blessing
Wang Zhan bought eight watermelons and then returned with the three children. He did not go to the intersection of the orphanage, but went to the police station first, intending to give some watermelons to his master and Director Li.

When they walked to the door, they met Director Li who came out. Director Li also saw them, so he walked over and asked them why they came. Wang Zhan said he was bringing them some watermelons. Director Li looked at the watermelons in the car and laughed.

Wang Zhan was laughed at for no apparent reason. Director Li saw Wang Zhan's bewildered look and said, "It seems that you are not omnipotent. Who has deceived you? The watermelons in your car are unripe. I was wondering how there could be watermelons when it's not the season yet."

Wang Zhan finally realized what Director Li was laughing at. He looked at the eight big watermelons with a bewildered look on his face. Director Li smiled, touched Wang Zhan's head and said, "It's okay. Next time I'll teach you how to pick watermelons. I've been growing them since I was a child. I'll tell you two ways to deal with these watermelons. Do you want to listen?"

Wang Zhan nodded quickly. Director Li said, "One way is to process them directly, take out the pulp separately, and boil it into watermelon juice with sugar or rock sugar, which is also edible. The other way is to put them in the cellar and cover them with a quilt for a few days, about ten days, and then open them to see if they are cooked."

Wang Zhan heard this and said, "Isn't this embarrassing for me? Sugar is a military supply, where can I find it? Forget it, I'll choose the second option. Besides, we can't all be green hands. Just consider it as paying for a lesson."

Director Li waved his hand and said, "It's up to you. By the way, your master is on a business trip. It will probably take more than a month for him to come back. Okay, go home quickly."

Wang Zhan rode his tricycle home depressed. The three little ones were also unhappy knowing that they would not be able to eat watermelon when they returned.

Turning to the intersection of the orphanage, the children smiled when they saw the lady and her children selling popsicles. Wang Zhan took them to buy ten popsicles and a box of soda. The soda was chilled, so it was very cold.

Wang Zhan increased the speed of the tricycle, thinking about getting the soda into the well as soon as possible, otherwise it would return to room temperature over time.

He returned home, found a wooden barrel for fetching water, kept five bottles, and put the rest into the barrel. He carefully sank the watermelons into the well to soak. Then he put the watermelons in a bamboo basket, placed it in the underground secret room in the garden, wrapped it tightly with a quilt, and Wang Zhan left it alone.

Sanxiao squatted in front of Jinbao's nest, looking at Jinbao and eating a popsicle. Jinbao was anxious and kept circling around Wang Li. Finally, Wang Zhan couldn't stand it anymore and put a popsicle in Jinbao's basin. Wang Li glared at him.

On the other side, the three most powerful men in Yard 95 returned to the yard in a panic from the hospital.

As soon as he entered the yard, Sha Zhu's voice rang out, "Hey, three uncles, you just came back from the battlefield, why are your faces and noses swollen?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu, glared at him, and without saying a word, ran to his home angrily. Liu Haizhong ran straight to the backyard. Only Yan Bugui groaned and limped slowly towards home.

Sha Zhu was so happy that he couldn't even straighten his back. The other neighbors were also laughing so hard, but a few of them were more trusting and followed him all the way to Yan Bugui's home.

Yang Ruihua saw this and quickly drove them away, shouting, "Old Yan is in such a state, and you are still making fun of him. Get out of here!"

After closing the door, Yang Ruihua turned around and asked, "What's going on? How come you got hurt after going to the hospital? Didn't you say you would talk to someone?" Yan Bugui said unhappily, "I thought so, but who knew that the tall guy's parents were in the nursing ward with sticks, and you didn't even see it. Before I said a word, his father's stick came up. The tall guy's mother is also a piece of shit. She didn't beat Lao Yi and Lao Liu, but chased me to beat her. Hurry up and give me the safflower oil, my back hurts."

Yang Ruihua looked at Yan Bugui helplessly, went to the inner room to get safflower oil, asked Yan Bugui to go back to the bedroom, lie on the bed, take off his clothes, and then applied the medicine. When Yang Ruihua saw the bloody spots on Yan Bugui's back, tears almost fell from her eyes.

Yi Zhonghai was the one who suffered the least beatings. Why? Because he had quick reaction. As soon as he saw the unreasonable old man pulling out the stick, he ran away. Before he could dodge, he was hit by several sticks and two punches, both on the face. It seemed that the man was also a martial artist.

This debt collection operation went on quickly and came back just as quickly. The family was completely unreasonable and beat anyone they saw because they were afraid that their child would be sent to jail.

Liu Haizhong sat on a chair with his back to the chair. His wife was applying medicine to him. Liu Haizhong sighed repeatedly and said, "It looks like I won't get the money back for the medicine. I can't go through all this trouble with Yan Lao San anymore. I'd better just go to work honestly."

Liu Haizhong's wife Yang Yue'e said, "That's right, the boss, Old Yan looks poor and wants money more than his life. What good is there in following him? Have you forgotten that he was unlucky several times before? I say you should stay away from him."

Liu Haizhong thought about it and felt that what his wife said made some sense, so he said: "You are right, but I am quite puzzled. Why is Lao Yi so active? He has nothing to do with this."

At this time, Liu Guangqi, who was reading a book nearby, said, "Haha, he wanted to sell you guys, but luckily it didn't work out this time. Look, Dad, if it worked out, who knows what he would ask you two to do. But who knows, if it didn't work out, he would probably ask you to do something. You have to be careful."

After hearing what the boss said, Liu Haizhong's brain was not enough. He seemed to understand what the boss meant, but also seemed not to understand. However, he could not show his weakness in front of the boss, so he said: "Okay, I know who I am. If you want to plot against me, Lao Yi is not qualified."

Liu Guangqi immediately realized that his father didn't understand what he meant at all. He didn't intend to persuade him any further. He pouted and went back to his room with the book.

After applying the medicine, Yi Zhonghai sat in the main room drinking tea and smoking. No one knew what he was thinking. Li Cuilan glanced at him and ignored him. She went straight to the backyard with a bowl of porridge and a bowl of scrambled eggs to deliver dinner to the old lady.

Yan Bugui was still indignant about what happened today, but Yang Ruihua asked, "Old Yan, what do you think Yi Zhonghai is doing to help you? Is he simply helping his neighbors?"

"If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Yan Jiekuang, who was coaxing his sister, suddenly said.

Yan Bugui was stunned. He looked at Yan Jiekuang, then at Yang Ruihua. He pondered for a while and suddenly said, "Oh no, this is a trick by Yi Zhonghai. He must have something for me and Lao Liu to help with. What is it? Let me think."

After that, Yan Bugui lit a cigarette and pondered for a while. Before he finished smoking, he suddenly stood up and said, "It seems that Yi Zhonghai may want to call a meeting of the whole institute. He wants us to stand on the same side as him. It seems that he must have some purpose, either power or money."
