night.
Lin Yang chatted with Brother Dao and Sister Lian for a while longer, helped them tidy up, and seeing that it was getting late, declined their invitation to stay, said goodbye, and left.
Looking at the pitch-black outside, Lin Yang sighed at his lack of preparation.
Knowing that we would be eating this late, we should have put a flashlight in the room!
These days there are no streetlights and the road conditions are bad; you can easily fall off a car if you're not careful.
Fortunately, there isn't much nightlife now, and there aren't many people on the streets late at night.
Lin Yang had a cigarette dangling from his lips, letting people on the street know that there was another person riding a bicycle.
Only then did they leisurely make their way to the courtyard house.
at the same time.
...............
The Yan family.
Yan Fugui was lying in bed when he was vaguely awakened by hunger.
I opened my eyes, ready to get some water and fill my stomach.
To my surprise, when I opened my eyes, I saw my eldest son sitting on a stool in front of the window, staring at something with wide eyes.
"Jiecheng, what are you looking at so late at night instead of sleeping?" Yan Fugui frowned after getting up and said, "Aren't you hungry?"
When Yan Jiecheng saw his father get up, he couldn't help but raise his finger and say, "Dad, keep your voice down, I'm listening to what's going on outside!"
"What's all the noise outside?" Yan Fugui said speechlessly, "I think you're just bored out of your mind because you don't have a job!"
"Lin Yang hasn't come back yet, I can hear his bicycle!" Yan Jiecheng said smugly. "I'll open the door for him as soon as he gets back!"
"???" Yan Fugui was stunned by his son's words as he walked up to the teapot. "Why are you opening the door for Lin Yang for no reason?"
"Dad, you just don't understand!" Yan Jiecheng said smugly, "You're always scheming and plotting, but that's all trivial! This is the real deal!"
Although Yan Fugui was shrewd, he still had a certain intellectual pride as a teacher.
He said with a speechless expression, "Your important task is to open the door for Lin Yang? What are you thinking, Jie Cheng?!"
Seeing that his father still looked puzzled, Yan Jiecheng suddenly felt a sense of intellectual superiority.
He said smugly, "This big event really opened the door for Lin Yang!"
Yan Fugui was confused. Why would opening the door for Lin Yang make his son so proud?
He poured himself some water, drank it, and sat down to look at Yan Jiecheng, saying, "Alright, alright, then tell me, why is opening the door for Lin Yang such a big deal!"
"Dad!" Yan Jiecheng glanced outside, sensing that Lin Yang wouldn't be back at this hour. He explained seriously, "Lin Yang is buying this and that all the time. What does that mean? It means he's about to make it big!"
"What does his success have to do with us!" Yan Fugui felt a little better after drinking some water. He shook his head and sighed, "Even if Lin Yang becomes successful, he hasn't given me, his third uncle, a single benefit!"
Speaking of this, he remembered the rent he had to pay back, and his mood became even more upset. He said with a resentful look:
"Jiecheng, tell me, is Lin Yang lying to us?"
"They said they were beaten up by Sha Zhu and then had no money to replenish their nutrition, so they made us pay the rent!"
"In the end, not only did they buy pork ribs to eat, they also got a watch, a bicycle, and a radio!"
"Doesn't this just make me feel really bad?"
Yan Jiecheng said speechlessly, "Dad, Lin Yang's stuff was a reward from the factory, it didn't cost any money."
His words made Yan Fugui swallow back what he was about to say, and he looked at his son.
Yan Fugui said speechlessly, "No, what's wrong with you today? Why are you siding with Lin Yang like this?"
"Dad! Think about what Lin Yang said today?" Yan Jiecheng said smugly, "He said that all these things were rewards from the factory after he made a great contribution! And that great contribution was kept secret!"
"And then?" Yan Fugui blinked twice.
Yan Jiecheng suddenly realized that his father seemed to have only cleverness but no great wisdom.
Unlike me, who is so smart!
Helpless, he could only explain, "Then Lin Yang will definitely get promoted! Since ancient times, promotion and wealth have always gone hand in hand. Lin Yang has become rich now, how could he not get promoted!"
"That's right!" Yan Fugui slapped his thigh and said, "He's definitely going to get promoted in the future, otherwise why would the factory reward him with so many things as a security guard!"
“Then I’ll guard the gate at night, open it for him, and offer him some incense. That way, he can give me a hand, and I can go to work at the factory!” Yan Jiecheng felt like the smartest person in the Yan family.
At the same time, I felt really tired.
The old father only knows how to scheme over every single scallion and clove of garlic.
There's absolutely no way to arrange work for myself.
I have to do this myself!
Yan Fugui became interested.
yes!
What's the point of getting small, everyday bargains? It's much more satisfying to get a big, easy bargain like this when you're looking for a job!
If Lin Yang can really help Jie Cheng find a job, then opening a door is nothing!
These days, finding a job is like having a secure, stable job.
Even a first-class worker in a steel rolling mill earns about the same as him in a month.
However, Yan Fugui suddenly realized that Lin Yang had the key to the gate.
He looked at Yan Jiecheng speechlessly: "Jiecheng, there's no use you guarding the door. Lin Yang doesn't need you to open it!"
"Dad, are you confused?!" Yan Jiecheng said helplessly, "He may have the key, but I'm guarding him. Doesn't he have to acknowledge it?"
That's right!
Even if Lin Yang has the key, he still has to acknowledge this heart!
Thinking of this, Yan Fugui stopped drinking water and looked at Yan Jiecheng, asking, "Are you sure Lin Yang will be back tonight?"
"I'm sure," Yan Jiecheng nodded vigorously.
"Alright!" Yan Fugui put on his clothes with great enthusiasm and said, "Then I'll wait with you! I, your great-uncle, will personally stand guard all night to open the door for him. I don't believe he won't accept this favor!"
Yan Jiecheng was naturally happy about this. Being alone was boring, and having someone to talk to could relieve his boredom.
...........
The road was pitch black, and even when passing some well-known pigeon markets, Lin Yang didn't see many people.
It seems that their previous use of firearms left many people in the pigeon market unaware of the specifics.
For a while, not many people came out to talk.
Although there weren't many people, Lin Yang still managed to reach the entrance of the courtyard house without incident.
Passing through the abandoned, dilapidated house, and seeing the tightly locked hanging flower door, Lin Yang took out the key he always carried in his pocket and prepared to open the door.
Some time ago, a family in Nanluo Hutong had their life-saving food stolen.
After that, most of the courtyard houses in the alley that had the means locked their gates.
Before he could even knock on the door, he heard a noise coming from the front yard.
Immediately after peeking through the crack in the door, Lin Yang noticed that the lights in the Yan family's house had come on.
