The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 342 Classmates come home

When I got home, Xiao Wan remembered that the fried chicken restaurant had been moved to another place because it needed to be rebuilt.

It was too far to go to my aunt's house, and the two of them didn't want to move at night, so they could only go to their own restaurant and let Heizi cook some of their specialty dishes.

When the food was served, the two of them ate and drank indiscriminately. Yu Li frowned when she looked across from them.

"Slow down, slow down, there's no one to compete with you two for eating so fast."

"Mom, you don't know what kind of life we ​​have in school. You have to experience it for a few days and you will still be like us." Xiao Ziyang couldn't help crying to Li.

"What? Is the school food so bad?"

"It's so bad to remove that word. If you don't believe it, ask my dad. My dad had a meal at my sister's school before." Xiao Ziyang said to Yu Li while wolfing down the meal.

"It's not that the food at your school is bad, it's that the food at our house is too good. That means Dad, if you follow what I say, you shouldn't let you two eat so well."

"You are still not my mother. How could you do this to us? We couldn't have been picked up." As he said this, Xiao Ziyang and Xiao Ziwan looked at each other, as if they had found the truth.

"What are you talking about, you brat?" Yu Li said and slapped Ziyang on the head.

"Well, I also suspect that Ziyang was picked up, but I am definitely not. I am the biological child of my parents." Xiao Ziwan said proudly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, eat quickly, go back to bed after eating, the restaurant should be closed." Yu Li looked at her watch and said to the two of them.

"Mom, give me your card. I will bring my classmates over for dinner tomorrow. By the way, remember to leave me a private room at noon tomorrow, just on the second floor." Xiao Ziwan remembered that her classmates would come to play with her tomorrow.

So he said to Yu Li.

"Classmates? Male or female? Your dad told me that you are too young to fall in love early."

When she heard that Xiaozi Wan was going to bring her classmates over for dinner, Yu Li was not worried about anything but her premature love. The little girl was only seventeen and not yet an adult.

"Mom, what are you talking about? We are in the same dormitory, how can it be a boy?"

"That's good. Here, take it and don't throw it away. There are still five hundred yuan in it, which will be enough for you to eat until the end of the year." After hearing Xiao Ziwan's words, Yu Li felt relieved and took out a membership card from her bag and handed it over.

passed.

"Mom, I want you to give me one too." Xiao Ziyang looked at the golden card in Xiao Ziwan's hand and said with some envy. He also wanted a membership card, and he also wanted to get the same treatment as his sister.

"You, let's wait and see when you find a girlfriend."

"Mom, I'm just seventeen. Didn't you just say that you can't fall in love early?"

"You're different. You're a boy, so you won't suffer when you're with someone."

"Pfft." The boy laughed softly. He felt that his mother was being too funny, so he joked: "Mom, if your future in-laws find out about this, they won't come to fight for you."

"Why are you looking for me? Your father is the head of our family." After saying this, Yu Li stood up and packed up her books, planning to close the door after the two of them had finished eating.

"This... don't you feel bad when my dad gets beaten?" Xiao Ziwan shouted at his mother's back.

"Didn't your father say that boys are beaten?" Yu Li said without raising her head. Yan Jiecheng often said this to her before, and he always said this when he taught Xiao Ziyang a lesson.

"Well, that makes sense." The boy glanced at his brother and said in agreement.

"I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going home." Hearing the two people jostling him, Xiao Ziyang quickly finished the food in his bowl, then stood up and walked outside.

"Stop stretching your hands and go home with your brother quickly. Just leave the dishes and chopsticks here until someone comes tomorrow and wash them again." Yu Li said because she was afraid of waiting for Xiao Wan to go back alone.

"Mom, I'm leaving then." Said Xiao Ziwan quickly got up and chased Xiao Ziyang.

Yan Ziqing had already gone to bed when the two returned to the courtyard. Now there are only three of them living in the courtyard here.

Ziwan lived in the main room, Ziqing lived in the east wing, and Xiao Ziyang lived in the west wing. The two wing rooms were used as two toilets, and the toilet and bathroom were connected together.

The east wing is the women's bathroom for Ziwan and Ziqing, and the west wing is the men's bathroom for Ziyang. For this reason, Yan Jiecheng specially asked someone to buy two gas water heaters from Nanjing.

Currently, only one factory in Nanjing is producing this product in China, and it cannot be purchased elsewhere unless foreign exchange is used to import it abroad.

After installing a water heater, a bathtub must be available, so Yan Jiecheng bought two more bathtubs and placed them in the bathroom. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li always came here to wash themselves. It was convenient to go back and forth since they were so close.

In the reverse house, except for leaving a room of more than ten square meters as a kitchen, the rest was opened up and converted into a library. Anyway, three people can't cook. It would be a waste to make the kitchen bigger.

The books that Yan Jiecheng brought from home were all placed in the library. Thousands of books crammed into a house of more than fifty square meters. There were bookshelves all around, and there was only a desk in the middle by the door.

.

The bookshelves were specially customized by Yan Jiecheng from a carpenter, and they were all made of solid wood. The style was also imitated in the minimalist style of later generations, which is simple and beautiful.

In order to make it easier to find books, Yan Jiecheng even hung a sign on the bookshelf.

After talking about the house, let’s talk about the yard. After Yan Jiedai’s family moved out, Yan Jiecheng also made some changes to the yard.

A cross-shaped aisle was paved with bricks along the central axis, dividing the entire yard into four. Two pomegranate trees were planted on the two plots in the north, and two cucumber trellises were planted on the two plots in the south.

September is the season when autumn cucumbers are ripe, and the shelves are covered with green fruits.

When Xiao Ziwan returned to the courtyard, he went to the bathroom and took a shower. Then he went to the yard in his pajamas, broke off a cucumber, wiped it with his hands and put it in his mouth. There were no pesticides grown at home, so there was no need to worry about eating it bad.

Walking back to the room while chewing cucumber.

………

Early the next morning.

Before Xiao Ziwan got up, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. He sat up from the bed in confusion and looked at the clock on the wall.

It was already past nine o'clock. Thinking that there were still classmates coming today, I quickly picked up my clothes and put them on myself.

"Sister, are you up? Your classmates are here."

"Get up, get up." After putting on her clothes, before she even got out of bed, she heard the boy Qing's shout outside the door. She quickly jumped out of bed, stepped on her slippers and ran to open the door.

"Laoba, the sun has come out, why don't you get up?"

"Well, I read too late last night and got up a little late. I'm not usually like this." Xiao Ziwan made excuses for his late rise.

After hearing this, Xiao Ziqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. When her sister was at home, she would always get up at this time except for school. It would be damned if she got up early that day.

After several people entered the room, they couldn't help but look around.

"Baby, do you want to live in this room by yourself?" Li Wei couldn't help but ask as she looked at the 50-square-meter room with a bed.

Before, they thought that there were several families living in this courtyard. After entering, they found that except for Yan Ziqing, who opened the door for them, there was no one in the courtyard.

"Yes, this is my room." Xiao Ziwan blinked his big eyes and didn't know why they asked.

"You live alone, what about your parents? This yard doesn't belong to your family, right?" Everyone asked in surprise,

Although many people have become rich since the reform and opening up, and households worth ten thousand yuan are not as new as in the past two years, but it would take several households worth ten thousand yuan to afford such a large yard.

"My parents and my little brother live in a large courtyard. This house belongs to a friend of my dad's. That family has gone abroad to live with relatives, so why don't our family move in and look after his family's house?" Xiao Ziwan made it up casually.

said an excuse.

Yan Jiecheng had told her before that she was not allowed to say that this house belonged to her family. After all, people are separated from each other. What if someone has evil thoughts?

"Let me tell you, I thought your family was rich, but it turns out that's the case. By the way, what do your parents do?"

"My dad is an electrician in a factory. He is only a seventh-level electrician. In 1965, he was assigned a seventh-level electrician. It has not increased in the past few years. My mother is an accountant in a textile factory." Xiao Ziwan didn't either.

Yan Jieben was originally an electrician, and he was indeed a seventh-level electrician.

"Then your dad earns a salary of more than 100 yuan a month and works two jobs. I said your family's conditions are so good. Unlike ours, my dad is only a fifth-level fitter." Li Wei said with some envy.

This is a seventh-level worker in 1965, and it has been sixteen years now. The salary alone is more than 10,000 yuan, not to mention that my mother has a job.

"Lao Ba, please take us around. This is the first time I have seen the courtyards in the north. They are really different from the courtyards we built in the south." Several students from the south suggested.

"Okay, I'll put on my shoes later." As he said this, Ziwan took out the shoes from under the bed, put the slippers aside, put on the shoes and led the way out of the room.

In fact, there isn't much to see, it's just a courtyard, and you can see it all away from the steps.

She couldn't bring anyone into Xiao Ziqing and Xiao Ziyang's room, so she thought about it and went to the study.

"Everyone, please be careful when you go in. There are books inside, so don't mess them up." Xiao Ziwan stood at the door of the reverse room and whispered.

Seeing everyone nodding, Xiao Ziwan gently opened the door and took the lead in walking in.

"Ah, how come there are so many books here? How many books are there?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed as they entered the room.

"Hey, there are actually books in English here. Is this... a German book?"

"Everyone thinks it's okay, but don't break it, otherwise our family won't be able to explain it to others." Xiao Ziwan told everyone.

"I know, don't worry, we will be careful. By the way, you haven't said why there are so many books here. Could it be that these books also belong to your father's friend's house?"

"Yes, that man was a book collector before. Whenever he encountered a book that he had never seen before, he would buy it. Gradually, there were so many here, and when his family came back from abroad, the books here might still be there.

Give some more.”

"Then you are blessed. With so many books, you can read them as much as you want. Which one do you want to read?" Everyone said with envy.

"I allow you to copy the books here and take them back."

"Forget it. It's not too exhausting. Even if it's not exhausting, how much paper would it take to copy them all? Even if I were sold, I wouldn't be able to afford them."

"I gave you a chance, but if you don't cherish it, don't blame me if you regret it in the future." Xiao Ziwan said jokingly, not to mention copying, just looking at it would drive people crazy.

After reading in the study for a while, I felt that the time was almost up. Xiao Ziwan led a few people out of the study and walked towards his hotel, thinking of having a meal first and then going somewhere else to play.
