I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

The house wasn't big, and it took three people cleaning it. Although Yan Jiedi was just an extra, they still finished cleaning very quickly.

The house looks brand new.

Yan Jiefang nodded in satisfaction and took out the braised beef, roast duck, fried ribbonfish, grilled squid, stir-fried cabbage, and large meat buns he had prepared in advance, inviting the two of them to have dinner together.

Although the food was prepared in advance, the enticing aroma still spread quickly.

Yan Jiefang didn't care about anything else and directly told the two to start eating.

"Wow, the food here is definitely better at Erguo's place!"

Yan Jiedi was overjoyed and pointed at the grilled squid with her chopsticks.

"Erguo, what is this? It looks disgusting."

Yan Jiefang picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing it.

"This is grilled squid. I bought it in the south. It tastes alright." (Grilled squid back then was different from what it is now; the flavor wasn't as rich.)

"Then I'll try some too."

Yan Jiedi picked up a strip of squid, put it in her mouth, chewed a few times, frowned, and forced it down.

"It's not good! Our roast duck here is much better!"

Yan Jiekuang also tried it, but in the end he also shook his head.

This type of seafood has a slightly fishy smell, which may not be to everyone's liking.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yan Jiedi knew immediately that it was Yan Bugui knocking on the door, and shouted loudly:

"Dad, I'm eating at Erguo's house today. You should go home first; it'll save us some money on food!"

But she didn't know that Yan Bugui was already drooling over the delicious smell outside and couldn't wait to rush in.

Unfortunately, Yan Jiefang had already severed ties with him and wasn't giving him a friendly look, so he didn't dare to force his way in. (The ties were severed when they separated their households.)

I can only ask tentatively:

"Jie Di, are you eating roast duck and braised beef? Do you want Dad to taste it for you? Just in case you get an upset stomach."

This guy is completely out of his mind; he dares to say the most outrageous things.

Yan Jiedi flatly refused:

"No need! You should go home for dinner early, so my sister-in-law and my mom won't get impatient."

Although she was young, she was not stupid. How could she not know Yan Bugui's temperament?

Knowing that her second brother's relationship with her father had long been strained, she naturally wouldn't bring him in and upset her second brother.

"Jie Kuang, open the door."

Yan Bugui still refused to give up and started looking for Lao San again.

Yan Jiekuang naturally ignored him, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and remained silent.

The neighbors in the courtyard all came out of their homes and stood at their doorways to watch the spectacle.

The two alleys are close to each other, so they naturally know a lot about the Yan family's affairs.

Although we couldn't eat the Yan family's good food, watching the Yan family members fight amongst themselves was quite a show.

Seeing Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiekuang's responses, Yan Bugui knew he wouldn't gain any advantage today.

He glared at the neighbors around him before turning and leaving.

Seeing the messy and ridiculous things the Yan family did, the neighbors' twisted minds found some solace.

Meanwhile, at Liu Lan's house across the street, she got into another argument with her mother-in-law.

Because Zhao Wu is dead, he left no grandson, only one granddaughter.

The mother-in-law felt hopeless about life, and consequently became increasingly annoyed with Liu Lan and her granddaughter.

Therefore, they find all sorts of ways to provoke each other.

They either complained that the food Liu Lan brought back wasn't good, or that their granddaughter had gotten her clothes dirty again.

There's never a day without finding fault.

Liu Lan is not a quiet person; she's a loudmouth who speaks her mind.

Whenever her mother-in-law finds fault, she immediately retorts.

They complain that their mother-in-law hasn't washed the clothes properly or that the house isn't organized.

The two were constantly at odds, never having a moment of peace.

Today, the various delicious aromas wafting from Yan Jiefang's house across the street whetted their appetites.

Thus, a conflict inevitably broke out.

In the end, the two parted on bad terms.

"Second brother, I'm taking my sister back first. You should get some rest."

After dinner, Yan Jiekuang led the already stuffed fourth son to say goodbye to Yan Jiefang.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Yan Jiefang nodded slightly.

After watching the two figures disappear into the distance, he closed the door and went back inside.

After waving to collect the remaining food on the table, he locked the door and left the yard.

As usual, I practiced Tai Chi for half an hour by the Qianhai Lake, and then took a walk along the water's edge.

At this time, it wasn't completely dark yet, and the surrounding scenery was still barely visible.

Besides him, there were a few other people walking around.

Yan Jiefang did not return home until it was completely dark.

Lying in bed, he remembered that he hadn't used up his super critical hit chances for the year, so he immediately opened the panel.

Looking at the information above, there isn't much change compared to before.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to use this super critical hit on the medicine he had made before.

After all, health problems can't be left unresolved forever; resolving them sooner is also a way to fulfill a wish.

With a thought, a pill the size of a longan appeared in his hand.

The unique aroma of herbs wafted out, making Yan Jiefang feel refreshed and relaxed.

With his near-limitless traditional Chinese medicine skills, the elixirs he refined were naturally extraordinary.

This is a stomach-nourishing pill that can greatly soothe and treat various stomach ailments.

Common acute and chronic gastritis, gastric polyps, and gastric ulcers can be cured simply by taking one pill.

Even in the early to mid-stages of stomach cancer, within 10 lesions, a cure is almost guaranteed.

Even in the late stages of advanced stomach cancer, it can have a significant inhibitory effect.

If you continue taking it, you can gradually recover within one or two years.

In addition to stomach problems, other organs near the stomach can also benefit from the treatment.

For example, gallstones, duodenal ulcers, etc.

For ordinary people, this is a miracle drug.

Yan Jiefang was able to recover from his stomach problems and gallstones by taking this medicine.

However, the innate essence that was originally lost cannot be replenished later in life.

This is also why he saves his super critical hit chances to use on these medicines.

With that in mind, he used up 63 years' worth of super critical hit chances on this pill. (Super critical hit chance refreshes after each Spring Festival.)
