After the doctor arrived at Yan's house, he shook off the snow on his body and began to treat the patient without a moment's rest.
He carefully examined Yan Jiedi's symptoms, and then whispered to Yan Bugui:
"Teacher Yan, your daughter caught a cold due to the sudden drop in temperature, which caused her to have a fever."
"I'll prescribe some medicine for you now. It will be almost effective after taking it for a few days."
If you go to see him in such bad weather, he will naturally bring some medicine with him.
"You can first take a towel, wet it, wring it out, and gently apply it to the child's forehead to help cool her down. Be careful not to apply it for too long to avoid frostbite."
Yan Bugui nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
The doctor added, "The child is still young and has a weak body resistance. Teacher Yan must make sure to keep her warm. The brazier in the room must be burned more vigorously. Don't save money."
"know."
Yan Bugui gratefully took the medicine handed to him by the doctor, handed over the consultation fee, and saw the doctor out.
"Thank you for your hard work, Doc! Be careful on the road and watch the road!"
At this time, the heavy snow in the sky just stopped, as if to add a festive atmosphere to the Yan family's happy event.
After hearing the doctor's diagnosis, the three aunts took action immediately.
She quickly wet the towel, wrung it dry, and carefully placed it on Yan Jiedi's forehead.
Seeing Yan Jiedi's brows gradually relax, everyone in the Yan family breathed a sigh of relief and their worries were alleviated a lot.
At this time, the third aunt couldn't help but look at Yan Bugui, her heart full of curiosity.
She didn't understand why Yan Bugui seemed like a completely different person after returning from Li Kailang's house.
The third aunt asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly become a different person after coming back from Xiao Li's house?"
Hearing this, Yan Bugui looked at the three aunts, and then at the children who were looking at him expectantly.
"Oh!" Yan Bugui sighed deeply and told the story.
He began to tell what he saw and heard in Li Kailang's house. The walls were hot, the house was warm as spring, and the scene where one could sweat even in light clothes was like a vivid picture scroll unfolding before his eyes.
Yan Bugui's vivid narration fascinated the whole family, as if they were in that warm environment.
However, when Yan Bugui finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng was the first to express his doubts:
"Dad, are you kidding me? It's this hot, how can anyone wear thin clothes? Except for the big bathhouse, there is no place with such high temperature."
The third aunt also looked at Yan Bugui in disbelief, as if she thought he was talking nonsense.
Yan Bugui looked at their reactions, smiled slightly, and gestured:
"Don't believe it? It just so happens that the snow has stopped now. You can go out and feel around and you'll know."
"Touch it then!" Yan Jiecheng was the first to stand up, put on his clothes and walked out.
After a while, he came back with a look of shock on his face.
Then, the third aunt, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiekuang also went out to touch it. When they came back, they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
This time, they all believed what Yan Bugui said.
At the same time, everyone felt a little longing for Li Kailang's home.
This made Li Kailang miserable. "What's going on with the Yan family? One just left, another came, and another left. And there's still one left?"
"If there's something wrong, just knock on the door and ask. Why are you all standing at the door without asking anyone? How can people sleep?"
The news that Li Kailang's home was as warm as spring spread quickly throughout the courtyard.
After all, this goes against the common sense they have formed over the years.
It was such a cold day that most people's homes were freezing cold, but Li Kailang's home was as warm as spring. It was really unbelievable.
Although some people expressed doubts about this, there were also some curious people who came to Li Kailang's door and wanted to experience it for themselves.
They were surprised to find that there was indeed a hint of warmth on the wall.
Even when Li Kailang opened the door, they felt the heat wave blowing towards them.
As a result, everyone in the courtyard became uneasy.
As the richest among all the employees, Yi Zhonghai's family situation is not as good as Li Kailang's, except that they are not freezing at night.
Compared with the warmth of Li Kailang's home, it is a world of difference.
People went to Li Kailang's house one after another to visit. After seeing the fireplace in Li Kailang's house and knowing that there was a kang in the bedroom, everyone was full of envy.
"Is Li Kailang's family really that weird? It's so cold outside, but his house is as warm as spring?"
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. If you don't believe me, just go and see it. It's so hot that I almost sweated."
"Yeah, no wonder Li Kailang wanted to buy a fireplace. We used to say he was wasting money, but look how warm his home is now. I want to live in it too."
"Live in? You're dreaming! Their heated kang is so comfortable to sleep on, why should I let you sleep on it?"
The residents were talking to each other, but no one mentioned how much coal Li Kailang had to consume to maintain this temperature.
Perhaps it is because they are attracted by the warmth and forget the price behind it.
Most of the residents of the courtyard houses use braziers for heating, and there are almost no kangs.
The courtyard houses where everyone lives are located in the city. They are all split up from the previous large courtyards and converted into courtyards where more than a dozen households live together.
Rich people don’t need to build a kang, and poor people can’t build a kang either.
Those who have some spare money don’t want to waste money on building a kang, so they think they can just endure it.
The Jia family had also heard about the warmth in Li Kailang's home, and they were eager to find out the truth.
But after all, there was a grudge between the two families, so I didn't feel comfortable going to see it at first.
Even if Li Kailang wanted to show off, he would not show off to his enemies. His house is not a museum and not everyone can visit it.
Li Kailang just asked everyone to stand in the living room, take a look, feel the temperature of the fireplace and then leave.
However, the Jia family heard their neighbors talking about how Li Kailang's house was as warm as a big bathhouse, and it became increasingly difficult for them to suppress their desire to see.
Bang Geng lay in bed, acting coquettishly towards Jia Zhang:
"Grandma, I want to go to Li Kailang's house. I heard from others that Li Kailang's house is very warm!"
After hearing what Banggeng said, Jia Jia, although lying in bed, could not feel any warmth and was still shivering with cold.
Some of the quilts in their home have been used for more than ten years, while others have been used for seven or eight years.
The cotton inside was very hard and it was useless even with two quilts.
Although the brazier was burning with coal and emitting blazing heat, there was no sense of warmth now.
Hearing Banggeng say this, Jia Zhang was a little scared: "Our family has severed ties with Li Kailang's family. Will he let us go in to see it?"
Qin Huairu also wanted to visit Li Kailang's house, so she thought for a moment and said:
"Mom, so many neighbors have gone to see it. If we blend in with the crowd, Li Kailang will definitely feel embarrassed to chase us away."
"Besides, our whole family is going there to show support for Li Kailang's family. There's no way he'll chase us away."
"By the way! Give him a chance to repair our family relationship!"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and nodded:
"That's right. We are giving Li Kailang a way out. He won't refuse. Let's go and take a look."
As they spoke, the family packed up everything neatly, went out and headed towards Li Kailang's house.
At this time, Li Kailang sent away the last resident who came to watch, and when he saw the Jia family coming, he frowned immediately.
The Jia family's arrival in full force definitely means nothing good.
"I want to see what tricks you guys are going to come up with!"
So, Li Kailang crossed his arms and looked at the Jia family coldly.
The neighbors around were also watching the upcoming drama with a look of anticipation.
The weather today is not very cold. As soon as the Jia family arrived outside Li Kailang's house, they felt a heat wave coming towards them.
As they got closer, the heat waves rolled in like water waves, and suddenly the restlessness in their hearts was like hot stones being poured with cold water.
With a sound of “Puff——”
The Jia family's curiosity was like the steam, instantly satisfied, without any regrets.
Bang Geng said happily: "Grandma, Li Kailang's home is much warmer than ours! I want to live here in the future."
"Well, be good, Banggeng, we will live here from now on." Jia Zhang agreed.
After saying that, Jia Jia wanted to explore further and was about to walk into Li Kailang's house.
Li Kailang crossed his leg, stood in front of the Jia family, and looked at them coldly.
"This is a private residence. No trespassing without permission!" Li Kailang said bluntly.
Li Kailang's blocking directly blocked most of the heat wave, which instantly made Jia Zhang unhappy.
"Li Kailang, what are you doing? Why are you blocking my way? Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!" Li Kailang said rudely, as if he had heard a huge joke:
"Old Mrs. Yu, look, this is my home! You can't just come in if you want to. Do you really think my home is your home?"
Jia Zhang was choked by Li Kailang's words, but she was unwilling to give up.
Jia Zhang curled her lips and retorted, "Do you look down on us? Why can others go in but we can't?"
Li Kailang showed a mocking smile on his face. He said jokingly:
"Alas, Old Mrs. Yu, you are right. I just look down on your Jia family. What's wrong with that? But if you want to come in, it's not impossible."
"If you just imitate the barking of dogs, maybe I can consider letting you in to take a look!"
"You!" Jia Zhang pointed at Li Kailang angrily, "Li Kailang, what do you mean? It's just a matter of taking a look, how dare you do this..."
Jia Zhang was at a loss for words to describe it.
Jia Dongxu also frowned and looked at Li Kailang with a dark face. After all, Jia Dongxu was the apprentice of Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker, and he was also a second-level fitter, so why was he insulted like this?
I turned around and was about to ask someone to leave when a voice rang out.
"Wang Wang Wang-"
Li Kailang was surprised, wondering who dared to bark like a dog, and he looked down.
"Yo ho!"
"Bang Geng, you were the one barking just now!"
"Uh-huh!"
Banggeng nodded repeatedly, afraid that Li Kailang didn't hear him, so he barked twice more.
"Great! You've learned it pretty well." Li Kailang couldn't help but praise him.
"Banggeng, what were you doing just now!" Jia Dongxu looked at Banggeng and shouted loudly while holding back his anger.
"Ah! Dad, I called you! You can move in if you call me!"
Banggeng looked innocent. He thought he could move into this warm big house in just a few seconds.
"Damn it!" Jia Dongxu was furious and rolled up his sleeves to hit him.
But he was stopped by Qin Huairu.
"Dongxu! Wait a minute!"
Jia Dongxu's eyes widened and he shouted Qin Huairu angrily, calling her by her full name.
"Why, Qin Huairu, you want to stop me too? Do you want me to lose face?"
Qin Huairu shook her head: "Dongxu, you've already yelled, it can't be in vain!"
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu looked at Bang Geng who was hiding behind Jia Zhangshi and pointed at him: "Wait until we get back and see how I deal with you!"
After saying that, Jia Dongxu turned his head and didn't even look at Li Kailang.
Qin Huairu then looked at Li Kailang, "Li Kailang, you said that we can get in just by barking like a dog. Now that Bang Geng is barking, we can go in now, right?"
Li Kailang glanced at Qin Huairu with a look of disdain: "I didn't say that if only one person is called, the whole family can go in."
"Whoever calls can go in. How can it be possible for the whole family to go in just by one person calling?"
"Li Kailang, what do you mean? You didn't explain it clearly just now!" Jia Zhang jumped out and said unhappily.
"Well, this is your business. It's your fault for not asking!" Li Kailang replied, shaking his head, looking nonchalant.
"Let's go. Why are you still staying here? Do you think people will laugh at you?" Jia Dongxu looked at Li Kailang angrily, then turned and left.
But Qin Huairu and the other two didn't want to leave. They just stayed outside and hadn't gone in to take a look. They still felt itchy in their hearts.
After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he looked at the three people, but they didn't move and didn't listen at all.
Jia Zhang felt the warmth of spring and wanted to go in more and look at the people around her.
They all went in one by one and praised Li Kailang's house. They wanted to go in and take a look, but now they were in a dilemma.
"Li Kailang, we agreed that whoever calls can go in!" Jia Zhang asked cautiously.
"Well, my word is my bond. Whoever calls can go in!" Li Kailang nodded.
"Woof woof woof——" Suddenly, a series of dog barking sounds rose and fell.
Jia Dongxu had a dark look on his face and was furious.
The residents around couldn't help but admire the Jia family's shameless attitude. They dared to do such an insulting thing.
Isn't it just to go to Li Kailang's house to take a look? As for how to do it. If they encounter this, they will definitely leave without looking back.
"Li Kailang, we're done." Jia Zhang looked at Li Kailang with a frown.
Holding the stick's hand, he was about to walk in.
"Hey, did I say let you in again?" Li Kailang stood in front of them again.
Jia Zhang was immediately unhappy and pointed angrily: "Li Kailang, what do you mean by this? We just called out!"
"Li Kailang, do you want to go back on your word?" Qin Huairu also frowned and looked at Li Kailang unhappily.
"Look at what you are saying. Did I tell you that if you call me, I will definitely let you in?"
Li Kailang looked at them in surprise.
"Remember what I just said, if you can bark like a dog, maybe I'll consider letting you in."
"Remember, it's just maybe. Do you know the word maybe? Even if the dog barks, you may not be able to go in."
The Jia family's faces suddenly turned ugly.
Just in order to get into Li Kailang's home, they had condescended to bark like dogs, but now Li Kailang looked down on them.
"Hahaha--"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter. How could there be such a stupid person who was fooled twice?
The Jia family blushed at Li Kailang's words, feeling as if they had been slapped in the face in public.
Jia Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Li Kailang, what do you mean! How dare you lie to me! Don't go too far!"
Jia Dongxu also looked at Li Kailang with a sullen face: "Li Kailang, you dare to tease us."
Li Kailang didn't care. He moved his wrist and made a gesture as if he was ready to fight:
"What? You want to fight? I'm feeling a bit stiff, so why don't you practice and stretch your body?"
"Li Kailang, do you really want to be an enemy of our Jia family?" Jia Dongxu said with a gloomy face and a restrained look.
"You tease our Jia family like this. Aren't you afraid that if something happens to your family in the future, you will regret it when you need our help!"
"Hahaha!!!"
Jia Dongxu's words caused everyone to burst into laughter again. They all covered their stomachs and laughed out loud.
The two families have already severed their ties and will never have any further contact with each other. Jia Dongxu's threats are seen as a joke by everyone.
Banggeng put his hands on his waist and said confidently, "Li Kailang, don't be ungrateful!"
Li Kailang found the whole family very funny, like a joke.
He waved his hand impatiently: "Get lost, I don't want to bother with you. Anyone can come into my house except yours. I don't know why your company is so big, but you dare to come into my house with such a flattering face."
"Do you really think your Jia family is so great? Am I afraid of you? Who would care about little bastards like you?"
Jia Zhang was so angry at Li Kailang's words that her face turned red. She pointed at Li Kailang's nose and cursed:
"Li Kailang, don't go too far! We are neighbors. We see each other every day. Do you think it's fun to do this?"
Li Kailang didn't care. He sneered, "Neighbors? I have never admitted that you are my neighbors. In my eyes, you are worse than dogs!"
Jia Zhang was completely enraged by Li Kailang's words. She waved her fist and was about to rush up to hit him.
However, he was stopped in time by Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu looked at Li Kailang, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.
"Li Kailang, we just want to go in and take a look. There's no need to make things so awkward, right?"
Li Kailang was unmoved. He shook his head firmly: "No! Not just anyone can come into my house!"
"Li Kailang, how can you talk like that!" Jia Dongxu was so angry that his eyes were almost bloodshot.
Li Kailang sneered: "How can I talk? This is how I talk! Your family is so corrupt that I want to avoid them as much as possible, let alone your neighbors!"
"Who do you really think you are? Even if Yi Zhonghai stood in front of me, I would dare to break off relations with him, let alone you!"
Li Kailang suddenly turned around and looked at Yi Zhonghai who was standing at the central courtyard door watching the excitement: "You said so, Yi Zhonghai!"
Yi Zhonghai frowned and looked at Li Kailang with an unfriendly expression.
He just came to watch the fun, why did this happen to him?
Jia Dongxu turned his head and looked at Yi Zhonghai, wanting to see his reaction.
But Yi Zhonghai just looked at Li Kailang coldly without saying anything. Jia Dongxu immediately understood what was going on.
Just kidding, there are not many people in the whole yard who dare to mention Yi Zhonghai’s name on Zhihu.
Li Kailang didn't even give face to his master, let alone him.
"Li Kailang! Just wait and see. There will be a time in the future when you need me for help. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"
Jia Dongxu uttered the next harsh words and looked at the three people of the Jia and Zhang families with angry eyes.
"Why don't you leave? You are such a disgrace. Are you waiting to be scolded?"
"Bang Geng, I let you scream, I let you scream!"
As he said that, Jia Dongxu took off his shoes and beat the stick despite the cold weather.
Jia Zhang also came up and hit Banggeng's butt twice.
"Ah!" Banggeng ran back home crying.
"Tsk tsk tsk! What an unlucky thing!" Li Kailang watched coldly and did not say anything to stop it.
Qin Huairu looked at Li Kailang's resolute attitude and knew that she would not be able to get in today.
However, before leaving, she looked back at Li Kailang, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.
In the end, the Jia family left Li Kailang's home in embarrassment.
