Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 890 Being threatened
After three hours of riding on the bicycle, his six legs were shaking, especially since the road was full of potholes and the snow had not been cleared in some places. His entire lower body was sore, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

After falling countless times, he finally arrived at the machinery factory before lunch, wearing muddy clothes.

As soon as the guard at the factory gate heard that the person looking for Master Yi Zhonghai was, he immediately sent someone to notify them. It was obvious that Yi Zhonghai had also made a name for himself in the machinery factory.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai appeared at the factory gate with a frown on his face. When he saw the dirty apprentice, he looked a little disgusted and asked, "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be working in the factory?"

Liu Gen ran up to him flatteringly and said, "Master, didn't I miss you?"

"Speak sensibly. Do you expect me to come here empty-handed?" Yi Zhonghai said a little angrily.

When Liu Gen saw his master's expression, he didn't dare to say anything more and told his master the whole story of the Sha Zhu he had obtained.

Yi Zhonghai's face gradually turned cold. What he didn't want to see most now was Sha Zhu's glory. Liu Gen was a little dumbfounded beside him. Looking at his master who had been silent all the time, he didn't know whether he should speak or not.

After a short minute or two, Yi Zhonghai turned around and said coldly: "I understand. Okay, you go back. We can talk about other things when I get back." After that, he turned around and went back to the factory.

Liu Gen was confused, thinking: "I worked so hard and traveled a long distance to bring you the news. Even if you don't want to reward me, you should at least treat me to a lunch in the cafeteria at noon. What's wrong with my master? Why is he different from when we were in the courtyard?"

Liu Gen became angrier and angrier, and he said "Pooh" at Yi Zhonghai's back. Only then did he notice the unfriendly looks the two security guards gave him. Liu Gen jumped on his bicycle and ran away.

But what he didn't expect was that when he returned to the factory to return the bicycle, the co-worker who lent him the bicycle refused to work. The bicycle was very dirty and the front rim was scratched. The co-worker was not happy and insisted that he pay for it. The two started arguing. With the intervention of the workshop director, Liu Gen paid five yuan to the co-worker, which calmed the argument. This time, Liu Gen completed a thankless journey to seek credit.

Sha Zhu accepted the congratulations from his comrades in the cafeteria. He responded modestly one by one. When the cafeteria calmed down, Sha Zhu let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat off his face, and sat down in his rest seat. However, he was still in a very happy mood at this time.

Sha Zhu thought that he had to get a chicken in the evening to celebrate with his sister, but things did not go as he wished. In the evening, the factory leader arranged a dinner to entertain the working group from the department that came to inspect.

Wang Zhan finally had some free time these days. He took He Yushui and his sister, rode the tricycle, and walked slowly home. When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, he went in to see what vegetables were available.

After walking around inside, Wang Zhan came out carrying a mandarin fish and a piece of tofu. By chance, this mandarin fish was caught by a fishing enthusiast. The other fish were being sold to the supply and marketing cooperative. At that time, the supply and marketing cooperative had the right to purchase independently, but a deputy director also took a fancy to this fish. Wang Zhan had no choice but to exchange the cooking method of squirrel mandarin fish for the right to purchase this fish.

He Yushui was holding sugar and some seasonings that he would use today, all of which were bought by Wang Zhan. Wang Li was holding some snacks and candies that she bought with her own pocket money, and was eating them as she walked. No one knew why, but both He Yushui and his classmates, including his sister, had a special liking for candies and had no resistance to them.

At this time, they didn't know that Sha Zhu was praised and rewarded, they just wanted to make a delicious meal for themselves.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Wang Zhan exclaimed "Eh!" He Yushui was stunned. Following Wang Zhan's gaze, she saw a small figure sitting on the steps of the corner gate of the east wing. He Yushui asked in surprise: "Yan Jiekuang, why did you bring your sister here? Does your mother know?"

At this time, Yan Jiekuang was just four years old, and her sister was only three years old. The parents could not accept such young children leaving the courtyard, so there could only be one possibility: they ran here secretly.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Sister Yushui, I've told my mom that I'm going out to play with my good friends." Wang Zhan looked at the little adult with interest. He felt that Yan Jiekuang was extraordinary, so he asked, "Who do you think is your good friend among the three of us?"

At this time, Wang Li looked at Yan Jiedi, whose face was red from the cold, and ran over, picked her up, took out a piece of candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into Yan Jiedi's mouth.

"Hey, don't stuff it all in. Her mouth is small and she might choke." Wang Zhan was startled and shouted directly.

At this time, Yan Jiekuang took the candy directly from Yan Jiedi's mouth, bit off half of it with his teeth, and asked Wang Li for the candy paper for the other half. After wrapping it, he put it into Yan Jiedi's pocket. Only then did Yan Jiedi laugh and said, "Brother, it's sweet and good. Brother, eat it."

Yan Jiekuang smiled, touched her head, then turned around and said, "Those who can treat me to a meal are all my good friends."

Wang Zhan was happy. It was a bit cold outside and he didn't want to stand here with him any longer, so he turned around, opened the door, and took them directly to the main room. He first lit the fire in the fireplace, and then lit the fire in the two large stoves in the kitchen. With the combined efforts of the kang and the fireplace, the whole main room became warm in a short time.

He poured hot water for a few people, asked He Yushui to take them out to play, and went to the kitchen to busy himself.

Halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the "bang bang" sound, Wang Zhan thought it was Sha Zhu who came. Apart from Sha Zhu, no one else had come to the house recently.

Wang Zhan walked over and opened the door directly. He saw a woman standing at the door with a smile on her face. She was holding a child of three or four years old in one hand and a big bowl in the other hand. He knew this woman. She was Jia Zhang from next door.

Wang Zhan frowned and asked, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Jia Zhang's smile disappeared in an instant, and she said, "You little brat, how can you talk to me like that? Didn't your teacher teach you to respect the elderly and love the young?"

"Haha, it seems that your compound has been deeply influenced by Uncle Yi Zhonghai. You speak exactly like him. Come on, I don't have time to lecture you. Is there anything you want to say?" Wang Zhan said with a cold face.

This made Jia Zhang speechless. After a long while, she said, "Did you stew fish today? For the sake of our neighbors, please serve a bowl to my grandson. My grandson wants to eat fish."

The child next to him also cooperated and said, "Eat fish, I want it."

"Why? No, just do what you should do." Wang Zhan said angrily. Wang Zhan was wondering if he was too gentle, causing them to come to him again and again to make trouble.

Jia Zhang chuckled and said, "If you don't give it to me, I will sue you for child abduction. I saw the two brats from the Yan family go to your house. The Yan family is looking for you like crazy now. I think they are going to call the police soon. If it weren't for that idiot Fatty Liu, you would probably be in the police station now."

Wang Zhan was almost amused by her words, and said directly: "No, go away, go and tell it if you want." After Wang Zhan finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
