Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

After staying in the hospital for more than an hour, it was already dark outside the window, so Yang Yukun and his team left the hospital, leaving Teacher Su alone in the hospital to take care of Teacher Liu.

"Grandma, Dad."

"Huizhen, Xiaokun, you are back. How is Teacher Liu?"

Xu Huizhen said: "He has undergone surgery and is said to be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate in two days."

"That's good."

Xu Huizhen asked, "By the way, Xiaokun, when will Jingping come back?"

"I don't know either. I'll call her tomorrow and ask her."

Xu Jingping is not at home. He is in Spring City in southern Yunnan this time.

After Zhiweilou Group held its annual meeting on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Jingping took his own private plane to pick up Ran Xiaoyi and the others on the morning of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and they went to Chuncheng to meet Zhu Jing for a small gathering.

As for when exactly she would come back, Yang Yukun didn't ask her and would call her tomorrow to ask.

Today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still three days until New Year's Eve. If I don't come back tomorrow, I should be back the day after tomorrow.

"Jingli and Xiaokui will be back tomorrow, right?"

Cai Quanwu said: "Yes, that means I will arrive around 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Dad, Mom, I'll go to the airport to pick up my eldest sister and brother-in-law tomorrow afternoon."

"Xue Ru said to let Xiao Jun pick it up."

"also."

My eldest sister and brother-in-law will fly back from Guangzhou tomorrow. Yang Yukun originally planned to pick them up at the airport, but since Fan Xiaojun is there to pick them up, let Fan Xiaojun go.

"It's late, there's nothing left, let's go back."

"Row."

"Dad, Mom, take care."

"Goodbye, grandpa and grandma."

"Goodbye."

"Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, have you brushed your teeth, washed your face, and washed your feet?"

"washed."

"Turn off the TV and go back to your rooms to sleep."

"okay."

Xiao Zongzi turned off the TV and told Pingping and Xiao Yumi to go back to their rooms.

Yang Yukun closed the door and returned to the main bedroom.

The next morning, Yang Yukun opened the door and saw a layer of snow in the yard again.

It snowed again last night, and it's still snowing now. It doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon.

Even when it snowed heavily, the little Zongzi girl did not slack off and still got up early every day to practice.

The snow was falling heavily, so the girl set out on the corridor outside the room to practice basic skills.

After doing two sets of boxing to stretch his muscles, Yang Yukun went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Xiao Zongzi was still practicing. She practiced for more than an hour before stopping and going to wash up.

"Dad, sister."

"Pingping, Xiaoyumi, you two should get up too, brush your teeth, wash your face and get ready for breakfast."

"Dad, what are we having for breakfast this morning?"

"Rice noodles, flower rolls, steamed buns, and small rice dumplings. Go and call grandpa and grandma."

"okay."

The little Zongzi jumped and ran out of the door, and the black panther trotted after him.

"Ping Ping, little corn."

"Grandpa, grandma."

"What are you two doing?"

"Build a snowman."

"Dad, Mom, you're here, let's have breakfast. Pingping, Xiaoyumi, stop playing and have breakfast first."

"coming."

"Little Zongzi, Pingping, Little Corn, let's go to the street to buy some New Year's goods later."

"Grandpa, grandma, buy some fireworks."

"Okay, I'll buy you some more fireworks so you can set them off as much as you want."

"whee……."

"Hurry up and eat. Then we'll go."

"okay."

The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. After breakfast, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen took their grandchildren to the street to buy New Year’s goods.

When going out, Yang Yukun told his father-in-law and mother-in-law that they didn't need to buy vegetables or fruits at any time, just buy some other things.

After his father-in-law and mother-in-law took Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi out, Yang Yukun made a pot of tea and picked up his cell phone to call Xu Jingping.

There was heavy snow in the imperial capital at this time, but the Spring City in the southwest was like spring all year round.

Xu Jingping, Yao Yulan, Ran Xiaoyi, Ming Xiaofen, and Zhu Jing were currently eating cross-bridge rice noodles at a breakfast shop.

“Ding ding ding ding ding….”

Zhu Jing said: "Jingping, it seems that your phone is ringing."

"It's mine." Xu Jingping took out a mobile phone from his bag.

Yao Yulan smiled and said, "It must be Xiao Kun calling. Cui, you should go back to celebrate the New Year."

"I guess so." Xu Jingping smiled and answered the phone: "Hello, Xiaokun, I'm having breakfast. Have you had breakfast?" "I had cross-bridge rice noodles."

"Little Zongzi and Pingping, where's Little Corn?"

"Come back tomorrow and make sure you're home before dinner time. I want to eat fish hotpot."

"great, see you tomorrow."

After ending the call with Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping put the phone back into her bag, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat rice noodles.

"Girls, where are we going to hang out later?"

"We've visited all the places to play nearby these past two days, and we'll be leaving tomorrow. Why don't we go shopping and buy some southern Yunnan specialties to take back for the New Year."

"I can see it."

"Sisters, have you finished eating?"

"Let's go."

After paying the money, Xu Jingping and his friends went for a stroll on the street, preparing to buy some southern Yunnan specialties to take home for the New Year.

This is Yang Yukun's side.

After hanging up the phone, he took a sip of tea, picked up the unfinished book on the table and continued reading.

The first popular novel written by Master, "Collecting Relics: Strolling in the Old Imperial Capital", was published half a year ago. The sales of this book are better than those of several professional books on cultural relics appreciation written by Master before.

The best-selling professional book on cultural relics appreciation written by my master before was the ninth volume of "Appreciation of Song Dynasty Porcelain by Polan Hou", with sales of 1.1 million copies, and the total sales of the whole set of nine volumes was 6.2 million copies.

The sales of this book, "Collecting Relics: A Stroll in the Old Imperial Capital", has reached 1.6 million copies so far. It is very popular among readers. Yang Yukun has read it for the third time.

"Oh my god, it's so cold."

"Little Fifth Brother."

"You are wearing so little, not even a cotton coat. Aren't you cold?"

"I'm not feeling well, so I have to drink some tea. It's just been brewed."

Through the window, Yang Yukun saw Han Chunming running into the yard in the heavy snow, and invited him into the house to warm himself by the fire and drink tea.

"You are alone at home. Where are Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi and the others?"

"I went to the street with my grandparents to buy New Year's goods."

"Fei Fei and Meng Meng also followed Meng Meng to the street. I just came back from the hospital and was bored at home, so I came to chat with you."

"Who is taking care of Teacher Liu in the hospital?"

"My mother is in the hospital."

Last night, my father-in-law was in the hospital taking care of my mother-in-law. Han Chunming had just sent my mother to the hospital and took the opportunity to pick up my father-in-law from the hospital to rest.

The two chatted idly until noon, when Han Chunming left because he had to go to the hospital to deliver meals to his mother and mother-in-law.

"Dad, we are back."

“Buy so many fireworks?”

"Hehe..., let's set these off tonight, let's set these off tomorrow night, and save these for New Year's Eve."

Little Zongzi, Pingping and Little Yumi came into the house carrying a bunch of different kinds of fireworks.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law also bought a lot of things, and Yang Yukun went to help put them away in the house.

"Dad, Mom, let's have lunch. I've already prepared it."

"Row."

"Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, wash your hands and have lunch."

"coming."

“There are a lot of people on the street today.”

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so there will definitely be more people than usual."

"Xiao Kun, have you called Jingping? When will this girl come back?"

"Say I'll be back tomorrow."

Yang Yukun served his father-in-law and mother-in-law warm Jieyuhua rice wine. A bowl of warm rice wine in such a cold weather made them feel warm instantly.

"Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, let's go play with Lanlan and the others."

"Go ahead, don't play too late, and come back early for dinner."

"understood."

Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi went to play with their friends, while Yang Yukun and his father-in-law and mother-in-law stayed at home, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.

Just after dinner in the afternoon, Wang Aiguo brought Wang Youzhi to visit.

This afternoon, my eldest sister and brother-in-law came back from Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year, and Wang Aiguo went back to the capital with them.

"Brother brought this specially for you. It's a specialty of Qiongzhou Island."

"Come inside."

"Uncle Kun, aren't Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi at home?"

"Over there in the compound."

"I'll go find them." Wang Youzhi ran to the next door slum to find Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi and others.

Wang Aiguo asked, "You are alone at home, where are Uncle Cai and the others?"

"Jingping went to southern Yunnan with her sisters for a gathering, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law went to visit." Yang Yukun poured the tea: "How are you doing recently?"

"good."

"I heard from my brother-in-law that you've been acting mysterious lately. What big project are you working on?"

When attending a wedding banquet at Niu Ye's house, Yang Yukun heard from his elder brother-in-law that Wang Aiguo had been elusive recently, and whenever he was invited to drink, he said he was busy, and no one knew what he was busy with. (End of this chapter)
