Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 948 Bayanhot
Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and fell into deep thought. In the past, when he schemed against others, he had suffered losses as well as the loss of his own men, and this happened several times. After so much experience, he had learned to weigh the pros and cons, to protect himself, and to think carefully.

On the other side, his expression revealed excitement. He had always been brooding over the house in the east courtyard. In the past, he was suppressed by the former Director Wang, so he was criticized several times. This time, the new Director Wang was obviously someone related to the deaf old lady in the backyard, and was biased towards them, the uncles in charge. He felt that the time had come, but he had not thought of any solution.

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words today, it was obvious that the old man had already come up with a solution. Liu Haizhong picked up his glass and toasted Yi Zhonghai with a glass of wine, then said: "Old Yi, you see, I have always supported you as an uncle. What do you think we should do about this matter? I will listen to you."

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything and looked at the silent Yan Bugui. He knew that Yan Laokou was still hesitating. It might be because of the previous calculations that made Yan Bugui, who loved to take advantage, feel a little afraid.

Yi Zhonghai felt that Yan Bugui should be given a big one, otherwise this man would not charge into battle. Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and said casually: "Old Liu, I understand your needs, but you may not know that one time when He Yushui was having dinner with my family, he let it slip that the kid next door went out to travel for two years. Did you know that when he came back, he brought back nearly 100,000 yuan in savings."

In fact, He Yushui only said that all the people in the whole yard together were not as rich as Wang Zhan. What Yi Zhonghai said was just his guess. Not to mention this calculating old guy, his guess was somewhat reliable.

Yan Bugui's mouth suddenly opened wide, his mind went blank, he stared at Yi Zhonghai blankly and asked, "Is that guy really that rich?"

Yi Zhonghai took a puff of his cigarette and said, "If you let the three of us be the guardians of this kid, then we three will have the final say on the money. Oh, by the way, of course we have to leave a share for the old lady in the backyard, after all, she contributed the most."

"Let's drink it. Tell me, Lao Yi, what shall we do?" Yan Bugui immediately became excited. The guy opposite him, Liu Haizhong, was even more excited. He picked up the glass and drank it himself. However, his shaking hands showed how excited he was at the moment.

The three uncles in charge began to whisper to each other, and the drinking lasted until midnight. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, drunken and excited, walked towards their homes.

Wang Zhan didn't know yet that the three uncles in Yard No. 95 were plotting against him. At this time, Wang Zhan and Wang Li were riding horses galloping across the vast grassland.

Following the road pointed out by Grandma Aijima, Wang Li did not stop for a moment. While on horseback, she told her brother that he must teach her how to ride when they arrived at the destination. She felt that her brother riding a horse was very majestic.

In half a day, Wang Zhan and Wang Li had already entered Wuyuan County. Wang Zhan then slowed down because he had to eat something at noon. Even if he was not hungry, the growling of Lili's stomach reminded him again and again.

There happened to be a stream passing through the grassland, and there were various trees on both sides of the stream, especially larch. Wang Zhan got off the horse, let his sister down, and then tied the horse to the tree.

Wang Zhan turned around and found his sister standing motionless where she dismounted. Wang Li shouted, "Brother, I don't know how to walk anymore."

Wang Li's appearance made Wang Zhan burst into laughter. After a while, Wang Li calmed down and rushed to Wang Zhan by the stream. Wang Zhan cleared a small piece of land, dug a hole, found a few wooden sticks, set up a pot rack, then took out his small two-handled pot and lit the fire.

By staying here, Wang Zhan also wanted to see if he could find some fresh fish or shrimp in the creek. After all, his sister couldn't stand the usual steamed bread and pickles.

Wang Li was playing by the stream and shouted to Wang Zhan to come over. Wang Zhan saw that the porridge was cooked and went straight to his sister.

Wang Li pointed at the stream and said, "Brother, there are really fish."

Wang Zhan watched for a while, took off his shoes and went into the water. Wang Li followed suit, rolled up her trousers, took off her shoes and went down. It was summer, and the sun was still abundant here. Don't forget that this was the famous Hetao area. The water was cool, but it was very comfortable. The siblings worked for a while. Wang Zhan caught four or five small fish weighing less than half a catty, while Wang Li only caught one. The two siblings thought that this was enough to eat, so they went ashore. Wang Zhan casually took out his dagger and started to clean up the fish. Wang Li went down to the river to play by herself again.

At noon, they had a bowl of delicious fish soup, a lunch box of porridge for each person, and baked steamed buns made of two-grain flour. The brother and sister ate with relish and their stomachs became full.

After dinner, Wang Zhan didn’t plan to rush on his journey. Anyway, he just had to get to Bayanhot City before dark. He would have to stay there for another day tomorrow to complete Uncle Has’s commission.

Wang Zhan took out a thin blanket and put it on the grass. The brother and sister took a nap with the sky as a blanket and the grass as a window.

Wang Li snuggled up to her brother, looking at the clouds in the sky and describing to her brother what the clouds looked like. She pointed to one and said it looked like a golden treasure. After a while, she pointed to another and said it looked like a big jade. Before she knew it, Wang Li fell asleep with a smile on her face, while Wang Zhan just lay aside with his eyes closed to rest.

Wang Li slept for more than an hour. When Wang Zhan looked at the time, he woke her up. Wang Zhan tidied up the earthen stove he had dug and covered it with new soil. Then he packed up his things and the brother and sister set off again.

The journey was uneventful. At around 3:00 p.m., we entered Bayanhot City. Although it is said to be a newly established city, it is actually sparsely populated. There is only one street office, and it is not called a street office here, but the Bayannur League Committee.

The entire city is just a crossroad, and you can see the end of the road at a glance.

Wang Zhan wanted to find a guesthouse, so he asked around. Someone pointed to a two-story building next to the committee and said, "This is the only guesthouse here."

Wang Zhan thanked the person who showed him the way, and walked over with his sister and the horse. It was a large courtyard, and the two-story building was not very big, with exactly ten windows on the first floor. After Wang Zhan walked in, he saw a stable on the left side of the courtyard, with several horses tied inside.

He also tied his horse there, put on his big bag, and then walked into the two-story building.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see another room on the right. It seems to be the duty room and also the place for check-in. Inside, a half-grown girl is reading a book seriously.

Wang Zhan knocked on the glass window and asked, "Excuse me, are there any rooms available? I want to stay in the hotel."

The little girl raised her head, met Wang Zhan's eyes, and then shouted behind her: "Grandpa, someone wants to stay in the hotel."

A voice came from the back of the room and said, "Wait a minute, come over right away, my dish will be ready soon."

Only then did Wang Zhan realize that this was still a suite. Wang Zhan and his sister were waiting quietly outside the window.
