Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 868 Brief Calm
Wang Zhan originally planned to move before school started, but unfortunately things did not go as planned because he added two basements, which complicated the project. Master Lei also specially invited outside help, and the project was redesigned and constructed.

Master Lei spared no effort in the construction of Wang Zhan's yard. The reason was very simple. Wang Zhan was rich, very rich. The most important thing was that Wang Zhan also had tickets, which satisfied all of Master Lei's needs.

At No. 47 Yuer Hutong, after an autumn rain, the weather turned cooler. Wang Zhan and his sister sat in the garden, staring at Dayu and Xiaoyu in a daze.

Wang Zhan said, "Lili, take a good look at this courtyard. We are about to move. Aren't you sad?"

Lili turned her head and looked at her brother and said, "Why are you sad? Home is where you are. Why am I sad? The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come, right?"

Wang Zhan was happy and said, "Yes, you are right. As long as we are together, anywhere is home. By the way, where is your sister Yushui?"

"He accompanied his brother to work, saying that he wanted to see his brother's working environment, but in fact he just couldn't bear to leave. He knew his brother's craftsmanship. Brother, I think your craftsmanship is much better than his. I haven't seen me showing off. I'm just bored." Wang Li said disdainfully.

Wang Zhan touched Wang Li's head and said, "Your brother only shows off his craftsmanship to his closest relatives. Have you ever seen me cook for outsiders?"

Wang Li thought about it carefully, and it was true. Her brother had only cooked for a few good friends and chefs, and almost never for outsiders.

"By the way, Lili, school starts in two days. Have you prepared everything?" Wang Zhan asked.

Wang Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'm ready."

The brother and sister chatted in the garden, played for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to do their own things.

Wang Zhan had agreed with his friends that on September 1st, everyone would gather at his house and then report to No. 5 Middle School together. However, in the past two days, several people came to his house one after another, expressing their intention to report alone. When Wang Zhan found out the reason, he was very depressed. It turned out that the families of Xiaosi, Xiaowu and Da Laotie had to participate in such a glorious moment, which disrupted the original plan.

When He Yushui said hesitantly that she would report early that day, Wang Zhan rolled his eyes at her. This meant that Sha Zhu wanted to report as well, so Wang Zhan waved his hand mercilessly and ignored He Yushui.

On the last day of August, Wang Zhan was really bored. Wang Li went to play at Aunt Sun's house next door. He was alone at home, and the front yard was still a mess. He was in a very upset mood, so he walked out of the yard and the alley alone, intending to go to his new yard to check the progress of the construction.

As soon as he turned into Maoer Hutong, he was almost hit by someone. Fortunately, Wang Zhan was agile and jumped to the side in the first time. A long-faced young man was struggling to pedal a bicycle and leaned to the side. "Don't you have eyes? Don't you look at the road? Don't you know that you almost knocked me down?"

Wang Zhan didn't say a word when he was hit. He was questioned by the opponent. Wang Zhan was not good enough to fight his master, but he had an easy time against this street urchin in his twenties. Wang Zhan, who was already unhappy, felt the urge to fight.

Wang Zhan didn't say anything, he kicked the man and the car down, dragged him aside, and the long-faced man didn't understand what was going on, he just lay on the ground and wailed, until Wang Zhan had enough, then he stopped, at this time there were already many people at the entrance of the alley. Seeing Wang Zhan's fierce look, they just pointed and talked, no one came up to stop the fight, Wang Zhan stood up, rubbed the blood on his hand on the clothes of the long-faced man, it seemed to be gone, then he walked out of the alley with his hands behind his back.

At this time, two young boys in the crowd turned around and ran towards the No. 95 courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they shouted, "Oh no! Xu Damao has been beaten to death. Go and see. He is at the entrance of the alley."

After a while of shouting, a middle-aged couple rushed out from the backyard. The man grabbed the older child and asked, "Guangtian, what did you just shout?"

Liu Guangtian said quickly, "Uncle Xu, go check it out. Your Da Mao has been beaten and is lying at the entrance of the alley, not moving."

The middle-aged couple rushed out of the yard quickly, and then everyone in the yard rushed out. When Xu Wude arrived at the entrance of the alley, several kind-hearted people were preparing to lift Xu Damao onto a cart and send him to the hospital. Xu Wude hurried over, thanked several people, and then took Xu Damao to the hospital.

Wang Zhan actually held back when venting his anger this time. Although Xu Damao looks scary, his injuries are just superficial and not bone-breaking.

The crowd at the entrance of the alley gradually dispersed. At this time, a person turned in from the alley. She was unkempt and dark. Everyone looked at her curiously. At this time, the people in No. 95 Courtyard recognized this person. Grandma Qi shouted directly: "Isn't that Jia Zhang? Didn't she say she was in labor reform for half a year? She came back after two months. Did she escape from prison?"

The Qi family has always been at odds with the Jia family. When they can take advantage of someone's misfortune, they will always be the first to do so. Jia Zhang was originally angry but could not vent her anger. When she heard what Grandma Qi said, she cursed, "You just escaped from prison. I was released early for my meritorious service. Why are you so arrogant? Why can't the Qi family's house accommodate you? Then your family should move out quickly to make room for the good people. Pah, what a thing."

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu also saw Jia Zhangshi, and hurried over to support her and said a few words to ask about her well-being. Jia Zhangshi ignored them and kept looking left and right. Suddenly, she saw a figure walking quickly into the yard.

Jia Zhang shouted, "Yi Zhonghai, you old man, you haven't given me the money yet, how can you run away but the temple cannot?"

This sentence confused the people in the yard, but Yi Zhonghai's back disappeared in a flash. Jia Dongxu knew the inside story, so he pulled Jia Zhang's sleeve and whispered, "This is not something to be discussed here. Let's find him privately. Don't worry, the money won't go away."

After hearing what her son said, Jia Zhang finally calmed down and followed Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu home.

On the other side, Wang Zhan, who had just vented his anger by beating Xu Damao, was in a very good mood. He did not go home, but strolled directly to Shichahai. There were still so many people in Shichahai in autumn, some were walking their birds, some were fishing, and some were practicing martial arts. Most of them were elderly people, and there were fewer young people.

Most young people at this time are heading for Xiangshan. Even if they don’t go to Xiangshan for fun, they will probably go to Jingshan because there are still many wild fruit trees there.

Wang Zhan strolled along the shore, stopping and starting, squatting down from time to time to watch the fishing performance. After watching for a while, he understood that they were just killing time after all this time, and no one knew how to fish. In such a long time, he hadn't even seen a fish weighing more than one kilogram. He lost interest in an instant and regretted not bringing fishing gear with him.
