Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"time for dinner."

After preparing dinner, Yang Yukun called Xu Jingping and the children to eat.

If my father-in-law and mother-in-law don’t come back for dinner, I won’t wait for them.

"smell good."

"You want to eat fish? This is the steamed yellow croaker that Dad made for you."

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma aren't coming back for dinner?"

"Grandpa and grandma are busy, so they are eating outside and won't be coming back to eat."

Not long after dinner, Hou Li, Fan Yonglan and Chen He ran over to play with Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi.

Xiao Zongzi wants to continue practicing martial arts, while Pingping and Xiao Yumi follow Hou Li and the others to play with Feifei, Mengmeng and other friends in the alley.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

That afternoon, Yang Yukun was drinking tea and reading at home when Ma Bosheng came to visit him and brought him a tiger tooth pendant and a bear tooth pendant.

"Master Ma, have some tea."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Ma Bosheng took out the finished pendant from his bag: "Mr. Yang, take a look. Are you satisfied?"

"Good workmanship."

Yang Yukun picked up the pendant and examined it one by one. One end of the canine tooth was wrapped with mutton-fat jade, as if they were one whole piece. The craftsmanship was very exquisite.

"As long as Director Yang is satisfied."

"Master Ma, how much should I give you?"

"Mr. Yang, that's not necessary."

"No, that won't work. The price is what it is. With such fine jade and such exquisite craftsmanship, I can't take advantage of you."

"Director Yang, there's really no need."

That year, Ma Bosheng won a grand prize of 150,000 yuan through the prize-winning solicitation activity of Zhiwei Wine Company. He took this opportunity to join Zhiwei Wine Company and became the wine and packaging designer of Zhiwei Wine Company.

He is the most idle person in the entire company, because the wine bottles and outer packaging do not need to be replaced frequently. The wine bottles and outer packaging used by Zhiwei Wine Company now are still the works he designed when he participated in the solicitation activity that year.

He basically doesn't go to the company during normal times. He spends even less time at the company than his boss Yang Yukun. In his spare time, he plays with his jade carvings.

However, the company still did not fire him and still treated him as a member of the company. His monthly salary was still paid on time, and he even received a share of the annual profit dividends enjoyed by the company's employees.

Compared with the salary, profit dividends and various holiday benefits received from Zhiwei Wine Company every year, how much are these pieces of mutton-fat jade worth?

He made these animal tooth pendants for Yang Yukun not for Yang Yukun's money, but wanted to take this opportunity to thank the company for taking care of him.

"Master Ma, I don't know if you like wine or tea. I'll get you two jars of wine and two boxes of tea."

"Thank you, Director Yang."

"I should be the one thanking you."

Since Ma Bosheng refused to take his money, Yang Yukun gave him two 5-jin jars of Eight Immortals Drunk, Hanhai Nectar, and Jieyuhua Old Wine, and also gave him two boxes of tea.

The two chatted for a while. Ma Bosheng had to go out of town to participate in a jade carving event, so he said goodbye and left with the six jars of good wine and tea given by Yang Yukun.

"really not bad."

Yang Yukun put the largest brown bear canine tooth pendant around his neck.

Four tiger tooth pendants were left for his daughter-in-law and children to wear.

The other seven bear tooth pendants were left to his father-in-law, mother-in-law, master, disciple, Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu respectively.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Hey, Lao Zhang, I'm staying at home. Please treat me to a meal. Are you back in the capital?"

"Okay, see you later."

Someone called him, and Yang Yukun picked up the mobile phone on the table and answered the call.

The call was from Zhang Bei, who said he wanted to invite him to eat hotpot at Zhiweilou Hotpot Restaurant.

"Xiao Kun."

"Brother Xiaowu, you came at the right time. I have a gift for you."

"what gift?"

"Bear tooth pendant." Seeing Han Chunming coming over, Yang Yukun spread out the remaining seven bear tooth pendants: "Pick one for yourself."

"Bear tooth pendant?"

"Made from brown bear canine teeth."

"Where did it come from?"

"You forgot, I hunted two brown bears in the Great Hair Country before. I had someone make them into pendants. I wear them with me to ward off evil and eliminate disasters."

"These four look even more domineering. Could they be made from the canine teeth of Siberian tigers?" Han Chunming saw four even more domineering animal tooth pendants on the table.

If he guessed correctly, these four animal tooth pendants should be made from the canine teeth of the Siberian tiger that Yang Yukun hunted in Damao Country.

"Correct."

"That buddy wants a tiger tooth pendant."

"No, that won't work. The tiger tooth pendants are for Jingping, Xiaozongzi, Pingping, and Xiaoyumi. I'm wearing the bear tooth pendant."

The tiger tooth pendant should be left to his wife and children, so naturally it cannot be given to Han Chunming.

"Then I'll take this one." Han Chunming picked one out of the seven bear tooth pendants and put it on: "Brother, I came to you to tell you something. By the way, Taozi asked me to go to his house for dinner later."

"Brother Taozi wants to eat, what's going on?"

"The new house is ready for fire, happy housewarming."

At noon, Li Chengtao called Han Chunming and told him that he was moving into a new house and cooking today, and asked them to come over for lunch later, and asked him to tell Yang Yukun on the way. "Moving to Huafengyuan?"

"Correct."

"Brother Xiaowu, when will your house in Huafengyuan be renovated?"

"Put it somewhere first. I'm not in a hurry to move in."

Although Han Chunming and Su Meng both opened real estate companies, they only dealt in low-rise and high-rise residential projects.

When Huafengyuan was put on sale, Han Chunming bought a detached villa in Huafengyuan, and Yang Huajian and others also bought one.

Li Chengtao moved to a new house today, that is, Huafengyuan, and the decoration was done by Han Chunming's decoration company.

"Moving into a new house, do you want to prepare some gifts?"

"I don't know what gift to prepare, so I might as well just give you a red envelope."

"Then I'll call Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang said he'll treat me to hotpot tonight."

"Which Lao Zhang?"

"Boss Zhang from Mona Lisa Photo Studio."

Li Chengtao is moving to a new house today and asked me to go over for dinner, so I should go over and take a look. But then I won’t be able to eat hotpot with Zhang Bei.

Yang Yukun called Zhang Bei to explain the situation and planned to treat Zhang Bei to a drink the next day.

"Dad, uncle."

"Pingping, Xiaoyumi, you are back from school."

"Yes."

Pingping and Xiaoyumi brought Black Panther back home from kindergarten.

"Then Feifei and Mengmeng will soon finish school. Xiaokun, I'm going to pick up my master first. I'll call you later and we'll go together."

The master hasn't arrived yet, so Han Chunming has to go and pick him up.

"Dad, what is this?" Little Yumi ran to his father and looked at the animal tooth pendant on the table curiously.

"Pendant, this is a gift Daddy prepared for you. Daddy will let you wear it."

Yang Yukun put a tiger tooth pendant on Xiao Yumi.

"So lovely."

Pingping ran over and said, "Dad, I want one too."

"this is yours."

"Thank you dad."

"Wear it carefully and don't lose it."

“Dad, is this a tooth?”

"Yes, the teeth of animals."

"What animal's teeth?"

"Tiger's teeth."

"Wow...it's actually a tiger's tooth!"

"How was your day in kindergarten today? Were you happy?"

"I'm happy. The teacher praised me again."

"Awesome."

"Hahaha..., I'm back!" At this time, little Zongzi ran back from outside carrying his schoolbag.

"elder sister."

"Sister, look at this tiger tooth pendant that Dad gave us. Isn't it beautiful?"

"Dad, where's mine?" Little Zongzi threw his schoolbag casually and stretched out his hand to his father.

"this is yours."

"Thank you dad."

"You are always in a hurry, just like your aunt. Can you learn from Xiao Yumi?"

"Hehe... Dad, I'm hungry. What are we having for dinner today?"

"I'll take you to Uncle Taozi's house for dinner later. I'll call your mother and ask her when she'll be back."

"I'll call." Xiao Zongzi picked up the mobile phone and called his mother. After a while, the call was connected: "Mom, this is Xiao Zongzi. Dad said he would go to Uncle Taozi's house for dinner later. When will you be back?"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zongzi said, "Mom said she's on her way back and will be home soon."

A few minutes later, Liang Xiaolan sent Xu Jingping to her doorstep.

"Mom is back!"

"Mom, look, this is the pendant that Dad gave us."

"So lovely."

"Dad has prepared it for you, too."

"My dear, this is a tiger tooth pendant. It is said to ward off evil and eliminate disasters. I will put it on you."

"it is good."

Apart from a watch, Xu Jing rarely wears jewelry. The necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry that Yang Yukun gave her are all kept in a drawer.

She quite likes this tiger tooth amulet pendant. Since Yang Yukun said it can ward off evil and eliminate disasters, she will wear it with her in the future. (End of this chapter)
