Chapter 622 32 Broken Things

Chapter 622 A Few Things
The two of them packed up their things, took their tools, and went out together to find a big businessman to repair televisions and make money.

Li Kailang took advantage of the sunny day today to take out his quilt and dry it in the sun.

As soon as I went out, I saw Yan Bugui watering the flowers again.

"Uncle, you're watering the flowers again."

"If you ask me, your flower-growing skills are really top-notch. In such a cold winter in our city, the flowers grown by others are half dead and wilted."

"The flowers you grow are not only not wilted, but are still green and lush. This is truly amazing!"

This was not a compliment from Li Kailang, but genuine admiration.

In other words, Yan Bugui was born at the wrong time. Twenty or thirty years later, he would have become a senior gardening master and opened a large flower farm.

Who knows, by then you might earn US dollars instead of RMB.

"Oh, no, no, you're too kind. I just raised this when I had nothing to do. It's nothing." Yan Bugui waved his hands. He spoke modestly but his face was filled with joy.

"Don't be so modest. Your flower-growing skills are only good now, otherwise you would have been famous long ago."

"Oh, no, no." Yan Bugui couldn't suppress the smile when being praised by Li Kailang.

The flowers are still green in the middle of winter. Li Kailang couldn't help but wonder what kind of flower it is.

"By the way, Uncle Third, what kind of flowers are you growing that can bloom in winter?"

"You've asked the right person. I have to talk to you about this."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui pointed at the flower in front of him and began to talk: "Don't underestimate this flower. This is a camellia, which is most suitable for blooming in cold weather. It is not only easy to grow, but also beautiful."

"As long as the weather is not too cold and it doesn't rain or snow, you can just leave the flower outside. You don't have to take care of it. Just check on it every few days. It's very worry-free."

When it comes to bragging, Yan Bugui never stops talking.

This flower-growing technique is what he is most proud of besides teaching.

"Oh, I see. If I sell this, I wonder how much each pot would cost." Li Kailang asked curiously.

Yan Bugui was in high spirits and didn't think too much about it.

"How many people in this city can grow flowers better than me? I'm not bragging. If I sell these flowers, I can get at least 5 yuan per pot."

"If it's in good condition and in the right season, it might be more expensive."

"Oh, don't disbelieve me, this is true. I'm happy today. Xiao Li, take a look at which flower you like and I'll give it to you if you choose."

"How embarrassing."

"It's just a pot of flowers. I, Yan Bugui, can still afford it. You can choose boldly."

Li Kailang directly chose the camellia that Yan Bugui was watering: "I want this."

"Okay, take it." The moment Yan Bugui picked up the flowers, he immediately realized that he had boasted.

Looking at the camellia in his hand, Yan Bugui didn't want to give it to him, but since he had already said it, he still had to save his face.

The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.

Li Kailang saw Yan Bugui hesitated and said, "What happened to Third Master? Are you okay? If you can't bear to part with it, forget it. A gentleman doesn't take away what others like."

Yan Bugui recovered and said, "Hey, look at what you said. As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero. I feel very relieved to give you this flower."

Although I was extremely reluctant, I had to put on an ugly smile and pretend to be generous as I handed it over.

"Thank you, Uncle San, your flower is really special."

Under Yan Bugui's reluctant look, Li Kailang took the flowers with a smile on his face.

Getting a free gift from Yan Suanji without spending any money, this feeling of accomplishment is so great.

"Let's go." Li Kailang took the flowers and went straight home.

"My flowers~" Yan Bugui covered his chest with his hands, feeling pain. It was not just a pot of flowers, but also 5 yuan. He had never felt so painful before.

"I wish I, Yan Bugui, had lived for more than 40 years, raising eagles all day, but I never expected to have my eyes pecked out by an eagle."

Think about Yan Bugui. He is the only one who takes advantage of others. When have others ever taken advantage of him?
In just one morning, we suffered two blows.

"I'm really unlucky today. Nothing goes well for me."

Yan Bugui wanted to slap himself, but was afraid of hurting himself.

"Alas, I stopped watering the flowers. If I continue watering, I'm afraid all the flowers will be gone."

Yan Bugui put his hands behind his back, planning to go out for a walk to change his mood.

As soon as I went out, I saw an acquaintance.

"Director Wang!"

"Teacher Yan."

Yan Bugui saw Director Wang and other people from the street office, who were in a hurry and had no idea what they were doing.

"Director Wang, what are you doing?"

"Teacher Yan, isn't this obvious? We are going to check the hygiene."

Yan Bugui nodded: "Inspecting the hygiene. It's been more than half a month and they haven't finished the inspection yet."

"We are just getting started. Cleaning the yard is a big deal. Everyone has to choose a time to come. Besides, any unsanitary items will have to be re-inspected."

At this point, Director Wang suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, I've been to your yard before, and it seems that the hygiene hasn't been inspected yet. I just happened to come and check it out together."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui felt that something was wrong.

What a joke! After Director Wang left, no one was motivated to keep the place clean and just did things in a perfunctory manner.

If we go in for inspection, it will definitely fail. Then we will have to trouble everyone to come out and clean up. Wouldn't he be a sinner?

"No, no, Director Wang, you are such a forgetful person. Didn't you check it first? The hygiene is up to standard, so there's no need for you to make another trip."

"Since we're here, just take a look." Director Wang wanted to go in.

Yan Bugui naturally wanted to stop him: "It's really not a big deal."

Seeing that no amount of persuasion was of any use, Yan Bugui racked his brains to change the subject.

"Oh, by the way, Director Wang, can I ask you something?"

"You said."

"Does our yard fail to meet the sanitation standards? I wonder if our yard will be included in the selection at the end of the year?"

Yan Bugui stared at Director Wang, as he had been thinking about this matter for a long time.

Director Wang knew clearly that this hospital had no chance of being selected, but the result could not be announced yet.

"Oh, about that. The sanitation of your yard is pretty good, but to see if you can be selected, we have to check the sanitation of all the yards."

"We can only come to a conclusion after mutual evaluation and discussion. So, you go back and wait for the news."

Listening to Director Wang's vague words, Yan Bugui couldn't guess whether he could win the prize.

"Director Wang, there's no one else here, how about you take a look?"

Director Wang's face suddenly became serious: "Teacher Yan, you are also a teacher, how could you do such a thing? I will pretend that you didn't say anything just now."

"That's it. Go back and wait for the news. I'll tell you when it succeeds."

Finally, Director Wang said, "I am still very optimistic about you in this matter."

After saying this, Director Wang left without waiting for Yan Bugui's reaction.

Yan Bugui muttered to himself: "What does Director Wang mean by his last words? Is he pointing at me? Could it be that the hospital will really be rated?"

"No way, no way, I can win a prize by offending Secretary Liu, this... this."

"Because he is the director of the subdistrict office, his words are more effective than those of a clerk."

Unexpectedly, what Director Wang said made Yan Bugui very happy.

But after careful consideration, Yan Bugui returned to normal. Everything Director Wang said just now was nonsense, without any useful information.

Being optimistic does not mean that you will definitely be selected.

"Alas, it seems there is really no way to deal with this matter. It's difficult. I won't get any benefits this year."

"It's better to make plans early and prepare things before the New Year arrives."

After encountering such a thing, Yan Bugui's desire to go out for a walk suddenly disappeared and he turned back to the yard.

Seeing Li Kailang fiddling with the camellia he had just given away, Yan Bugui felt heartbroken.

Frowning, he said, "Why am I so unlucky today? I feel unhappy wherever I go."

Having made up his mind, Yan Bugui went straight home and decided not to go out for the whole day. He would just stay at home.

When he returned home and saw Yan Jiecheng lying on the bed doing nothing, he was furious and felt very disappointed with him.

Look at how powerful Li Kailang is. It’s okay if I can’t beat him.

He couldn't even beat Cui Yuan and Bai Xiuwen, and was overtaken by them.

Look at how comfortable other people are living now, and then look at yourself working so hard every day but still not making much money.

When he thought of this, Yan Bugui's heart began to ache again.

"Dad, are you okay?" Yan Jiedi appeared at the right time, looking up with big eyes and asked with concern.

"Dad is fine." Hearing his beloved daughter's comfort, Yan Bugui's heart melted. It turned out that having a daughter was the right thing to do.

"My dear daughter." Yan Bugui picked up his daughter and turned to look at his third son.

Only Yan Jiecheng looked up and glanced, then continued lying down when he saw that nothing was wrong.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang were doing their homework and had no time to care about this.

Yan Bugui was very sad. No one cared about him. It turned out that he had raised him in vain.

"Dad, have some candy." Yan Jiedi took out the candy she got from Li Kailang.

"I don't know how Li Kailang got so much sugar." Yan Bugui muttered to himself as he peeled off the sugar coating.

"Dad doesn't eat it, my good daughter will."

"Come on! Open your mouth! Ah!"

"Ah~" Yan Jiedi opened her mouth and ate it. When she tasted the sweetness, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Hmph~" the sound of continuous sewing machines was heard.

Yan Bugui took his daughter to see the third aunt.

I saw her concentrating on handling orders from the textile factory and orders from the surrounding alleys.

"Mother."

"Oh~" Hearing the noise, the third aunt stopped and turned to look at the fair and tender Yan Jiedi.

"Come, mom, hug me."

The third aunt clapped her hands and then reached out to take Yan Jiedi.

"Making clothes." Yan Bugui said.

"Well, help make clothes for everyone. It's winter and we need to wear thick clothes. I have some extra fabric, so I can save it and make some new clothes for Jie Di."

"Haha, there are new clothes!" Yan Jiedi smiled from ear to ear, clapped her hands, and jumped up and down in the arms of the third aunt.

"Okay, okay, stop jumping, or mommy won't be able to hold you." The third aunt said with a smile.

Yan Bugui immediately took Yan Jiedi to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"It's winter now, so be careful not to hurt your hands with the sewing machine."

"Look at what you said. You've been doing this for more than ten years. How could you possibly hurt your hand?"

Yan Bugui nodded and said casually: "By the way, how much money can these make?"

The third aunt rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you still making money? Life is hard now, and I don't make as much as before. If I were still making money, it would be my turn."

"If we don't make money, we can't work for nothing, right? We are not kind people."

The third aunt rolled her eyes again: "Look at what you said, am I the kind of person who works for free? We have been married for more than ten years, how can I not know what you think."

"Don't worry, my work is not in vain. It's winter now. It's not worth earning money as much as making cloth."

"The saved fabric can be used to make new clothes for Jie Di. Maybe it can even be used to mend a few more pieces of clothing."

"That's true." Yan Bugui nodded. After all, the third aunt is his wife. They have been together for more than ten years, so how could they not understand each other?

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing. I won't disturb you." Yan Bugui immediately hugged Yan Jiedi and left.

The three aunts turned around and went back to continue their work.

The whole family is busy, and he is the only one who is idle, so naturally someone has to take care of his good daughter.

"Come on, let's go on the swings."

"Swing! Swing." Yan Jiedi clapped her hands happily.

Arriving at the swing outside Li Kailang's house, Yan Jiedi couldn't wait to sit on it, "Dad, push me quickly."

"Be careful!"

"Hahaha~"

When a group of children heard Yan Jiedi's bell-like laughter, they immediately clamored to go swinging on the swing.

"Mom, I want to play too."

"Dad, I want to go on the swing."

Some parents agree, while some naturally disagree.

"What are you doing in the middle of winter? Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay, play if you want, but you have to wear more clothes."

Soon, a lot of children gathered in the front yard, queuing up to play on the swing.

In the middle courtyard, a pair of little eyes looked on with envy, seeing the children sitting on the swings and swinging happily with the help of their parents. They felt very envious and wanted to play too.

I ran home with my legs flailing, wanting to ask my father for help.

But I saw Jia Dongxu still lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, unconscious, and looking at his brother who was doing homework beside him.

"What are you looking at? I'm not going." Bang Geng immediately guessed what she meant.

Xiao Dang immediately looked around with an aggrieved look on his face.

There was no way Jia Zhang would help her, and Qin Huairu couldn't go as she was pregnant.

Immediately, he turned around and ran out, but instead of running to the front yard, he lay down against the wall and watched the children swinging on the swings with envy.

At first, when Xiaodang played on the swing, the adults would help push her, but after the incident with the beating stick and Jia Zhang, the adults began to avoid her.

Every time I asked adults to help push it, they would refuse, “Go find your parents and let them push it.”

Everyone was naturally afraid of the Jia family, fearing that they would be blackmailed.

It is naturally impossible to ask Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu to push it.

After doing this many times, Xiaodang realized that swinging on the swing had nothing to do with her and could only watch other children swinging on it.

Xiaodang had no idea why everyone avoided her, but she vaguely knew it was because of her parents and family.

"Hahaha~"

Looking at the children swinging happily on the swings, Xiaodang pouted and couldn't help but shed tears of grievance from the corners of his eyes, but he could do nothing about it.
