Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

She continued: "Jie Jiefang is an honest child. He has suffered a lot of grievances in this family over the years. If he wants to leave now, he is forced to have no choice. I support him to leave and find his own life." Jia Zhang's family

His words echoed in the yard, causing some residents to whisper.

Some people nodded in agreement, thinking that what Jia Zhang said made sense; some people showed hesitation, thinking that the matter might not be that simple.

Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang watched Jia Zhang speak for them, and their hearts were filled with gratitude.

The third uncle turned red with anger and wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.

In the tense atmosphere, the third uncle winked at Yi Zhonghai anxiously. Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly. Although he was a little reluctant, thinking of the agreement with the third uncle, he could only stand up bravely.

Yi Zhonghai coughed lightly and said seriously: "Director Wang, dear neighbors, I think Yan Jiefang is unfilial by leaving home. Parents have worked hard to raise their children. No matter what problems they encounter, they cannot run away from home easily.

.This is the basic morality of life. Although the third uncle may not handle certain things properly, Yan Jiefang cannot use such an extreme way to solve the problem."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at everyone and continued: "Moreover, if Yan Jiefang leaves like this, it will have a bad impact on the courtyard. If everyone follows his example in the future, won't the stability of the family and the harmony of the courtyard be destroyed?

Has it been destroyed? Therefore, I think Yan Jiefang should not leave home." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai sat down slowly.

Director Wang looked at everyone holding their own opinions and felt that this matter was very difficult to handle.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed deep worry. The atmosphere in the courtyard was tense and depressing, as if a storm was about to come.

Director Wang sighed slightly and secretly thought about how to properly solve this difficult problem.

He knows very well that if family disputes are not handled well, they may lead to greater conflicts and affect the harmony and stability of the entire courtyard.

Just as he was deep in thought, Xu Damao suddenly stood up.

Xu Damao's tall and thin figure looked particularly awkward under the gaze of everyone.

There was a look of pride on his face, as if he had come up with a brilliant idea and couldn't wait to show it to everyone. He cleared his throat, deliberately raised his voice, and said loudly: "Director Wang, dear neighbors

Hey guys, I have an idea.

Don’t we have a reverse-seat house in our compound? We might as well let Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang live in the reverse-seat house.

In this way, it is neither moving out of the third uncle's house nor becoming the son-in-law of the Jia and Zhang family.

Yan Jiefang can have an independent space without completely severing the relationship with the third uncle.

What do you think?"

Xu Damao's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

After hearing what he said, everyone began to discuss among themselves. Some people thought this was a good idea and could temporarily alleviate conflicts.

An older resident nodded and said, "Well, Xu Damao's idea makes sense.

Yan Jiefang and the third uncle are in such a quarrel now that they definitely can't live together.

The inversion room can just give them a buffer space."

Another resident also echoed: "Yes, this will not only give Yan Jiefang a place to live, but also avoid further escalation of family conflicts."

However, some people are worried that this will cause new problems. A young resident frowned and said: "This house has been empty, and I don't know what the situation is like inside. Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang moved in

Will there be any inconvenience?

Moreover, can this really solve the fundamental problem? What if they have conflicts again in the future? "

The residents next to them also said worriedly: "Yes, this is just a temporary measure and cannot fundamentally solve their family problems."

Yan Jiefang and Xiao Dang looked at each other, hesitating in their hearts.

They were eager to have an independent space and get rid of the shackles of the third uncle, but they were also worried that they would face more difficulties after living in a reverse house. Yan Jiefang bit his lips and fell into deep thought.

He thought of the grievances he had suffered at the Third Master's house over the years, and his heart was filled with helplessness and pain.

But he also knew that he couldn't just leave like this, after all, the third uncle was his father.

Xiaodang gently pulled Yan Jiefang's clothes and whispered: "Brother Jiefang, what do you think of this idea? Do we really want to live in a reverse room?"

Yan Jiefang shook his head and said, "I don't know either, let's think about it again."

The third uncle frowned, seeming to be considering the feasibility of this plan. Although he didn't want Yan Jiefang to leave home, he didn't want to continue arguing with him.

He knew that if Yan Jiefang really left, he would also get a bad reputation in the yard.

The third uncle secretly glanced at Yi Zhonghai, hoping that he could give him some advice.

Yi Zhonghai also fell into deep thought, not knowing whether to support or oppose.

On the one hand, he felt that Xu Damao's idea made sense and could temporarily alleviate the conflict;

On the other hand, I am worried that doing so will affect my status in the yard.

After all, he has always stood by the third uncle before. If he now agrees to Yan Jiefang living in the reverse room, will it make people think that his position is not firm?

After listening to Xu Damao's idea, Director Wang nodded slightly and said: "This idea can be considered. However, it depends on the opinions of Yan Jiefang and the third uncle. Yan Jiefang, what do you think?"

Yan Jiefang bit his lip, thought for a moment, and then said: "Director Wang, I can live in the reverse room first, but I hope that the third uncle can change his attitude towards me in the future." Although Yan Jiefang's voice was not loud, it was

Full of determination.

He knew that he could no longer be as weak as before and must strive for a better living environment for himself and Xiaodang.

Seeing that Yan Jie relaxed, the third uncle also said quickly: "Okay, as long as the liberation does not leave, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

There was a look of relief on the third uncle's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that he could not lose Yan Jiefang, his son, and he must treat him well in the future.

With the statements of Yan Jiefang and the third uncle, this dispute seems to have been temporarily resolved.

Director Wang looked at everyone and said: "Since everyone agrees with this plan, the matter is settled. I hope that everyone will value peace in the future and jointly maintain the harmony and stability of the courtyard."

Yan Jiefang and Xiao Dang moved into the reverse room with complicated emotions.

The moment they opened the door, an old smell hit their faces. The room was covered with dust, the walls were mottled, and the ground looked bumpy.

Yan Jiefang frowned, but soon his eyes lit up with a determined light.

He turned to Xiaodang and said: "Xiaodang, since we have decided to live here, we should clean up this place. This will be our home from now on." Xiaodang nodded vigorously, with a light of hope in his eyes.

They started cleaning first. Yan Jiefang found a broom and vigorously swept the dust on the ground.

Every time he swept, dust flew up, making him cough, but he did not stop what he was doing. Xiao Dang took a rag and carefully wiped the windows and furniture. Those windows that were originally dusty were wiped by her.

After a few wipes, the original appearance was gradually revealed.

They were busy all day, and the dust in the room was gradually cleared.

However, looking at the empty room, they knew there was still a lot to do. So Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang decided to buy some furniture.

They came to a nearby market. The market was bustling with people coming and going. Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang visited furniture stores one by one, carefully selecting furniture that suited them. They looked at the brand-new tables, chairs, and beds.

My heart is full of expectations.

After some comparisons, they finally selected a simple and practical set of tables and chairs and a comfortable bed.

Although these furniture are not expensive, they are enough for them.

Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang carefully moved the furniture back to the reverse room and began to place it.

After the furniture was placed, the room suddenly felt like home.

When Yan Jiefang and Xiao Dang looked at the newly purchased furniture with joy and were immersed in the longing for their future life, footsteps suddenly came from the yard.

They looked up and saw the third uncle and the third aunt walking towards the reverse room.

At this time, the sunlight shines through the windows on the brand-new furniture, as if giving them a warm glow. Outside the window, the breeze blows gently, and the leaves in the yard rustle, as if they are also enjoying this.

Worried about the coming conflict.

The third uncle had an unnatural smile on his face and was holding some fruit in his hand.

There was a trace of anxiety and expectation in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "If you liberate this child, you should forgive us. After all, we are a family, and we can't stay like this." The third aunt seemed a little embarrassed and followed closely.

Behind the third uncle.

Her hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, and her heart was full of uneasiness: "I don't know if Jiefang and Xiaodang will let us in. I hope they can give us a chance."

They walked to the door, and the third uncle cleared his throat and said, "Liberation, Xiaodang, let's come and see you."

Yan Jiefang's face instantly darkened. He stood up and blocked the door.

Anger and disappointment surged in his heart, and he thought of all the injustices the three uncles had done to him in the past.

"What are they doing here now? Do they think this can make up for past mistakes?"

He said in a cold tone: "What are you doing here? We don't welcome you here."

Xiaodang also stood next to Yan Jiefang, her eyes full of vigilance. She held Yan Jiefang's hand tightly, thinking to herself: "We can't let them bully Brother Jiefang anymore, we must be strong."

The third uncle smiled awkwardly and said, "Jiefang, don't be so angry. We just want to see how you are doing. After all, we are a family."

Yan Jiefang snorted coldly and said: "A family? Do you think of me as a family? Where were you when I needed help the most? It's too late to talk about a family now." His eyes were burning.

He was angry, as if he wanted to vent all his past grievances.

The third aunt quickly said: "Jiefang, we know we were wrong. We will definitely treat you well in the future, so don't be angry."

Xiaodang shook his head and said: "Third aunt, we don't believe what you say anymore. You can leave, we don't want to see you."

Although her voice was not loud, it was full of determination.

The third uncle and the third aunt looked at each other helplessly, knowing that nothing they said now would be of any use.

The third uncle sighed, put the fruit at the door, and said: "Liberation, Xiaodang, you can keep these fruits and eat them. We will use actions to prove our changes in the future." After that, they turned and left.

At this time, the breeze in the yard seemed to become more miserable, and the rustling of the leaves seemed to sigh for their departure.

Time passed bit by bit, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the sun shone on the bluestone road in the courtyard, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a sense of tranquility. However, this tranquility was soon broken.

The third uncle was bending down in the corner of the yard to collect scraps, mumbling something.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door of the courtyard. The third uncle inadvertently looked up, and was stunned when he saw it.

Yan Jiecheng, who had been missing for a month, was standing there.

Yan Jiecheng looked extremely embarrassed.

He was wearing a shabby gray coat, which was covered with stains and wrinkles, as if he had gone through countless hardships. A few buttons of the coat had fallen off and hung loosely on his body. His trousers were also frayed and worn out at the knees.

There are also a few holes, exposing the dirty skin inside.

The shoes on my feet were covered with mud, and the edges of the shoes were so worn that their original appearance could hardly be seen.

His hair was messy, as if it hadn't been combed for a long time, and a few strands of hair were hanging down on his forehead. His face was covered with stubble, and he looked very haggard. His eyes were bloodshot, revealing exhaustion and confusion.

At this time, the old locust trees in the courtyard were swaying their branches and leaves gently in the breeze, as if they were also surprised by Yan Jiecheng's return. The sun shone on Yan Jiecheng, but it could not dispel the fatigue and desolation on his body.

The third uncle looked at Yan Jie in this state, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

He threw down the scraps in his hands, walked quickly to Yan Jiecheng, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You still know how to come back! Where have you been this month? Do you know how worried we are about you? Look

Look at what you look like now, what are you talking about!"

The third uncle's voice echoed in the courtyard, full of anger and disappointment.

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head, not daring to look into the third uncle's eyes. His lips moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He murmured: "Dad, I... I know I was wrong.

.I've had a very bad month..."

His voice was hoarse and low, filled with deep guilt.

The third uncle was so angry that he was shaking all over and continued to curse: "You know what's the use of being wrong? Look what you have done to this family? You didn't say a word when you left, and now you come back like this. What the hell are you doing?"

What have you been doing?"

At this moment, the third aunt heard the noise and walked out of the house. The moment she saw Yan Jiecheng, her eyes turned red. She walked quickly to Yan Jiecheng and said distressedly: "Jiecheng, you are so

Where did you go? How did you get yourself into this?"
