Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Li Chengtao moved into a new house today and invited relatives and friends to his house to cook and have a meal.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping brought their children, Han Chunming's family of four, and Grandpa Guan to Huafengyuan Community.

Currently in the capital, the Huafengyuan community where my father-in-law and mother-in-law live is definitely the most high-end residential complex, without a doubt.

It is only about 800 meters away from Huafengyuan community to the square on foot.

Those who can afford to buy a house in Huafengyuan are naturally not ordinary people. Currently, many owners have moved into Huafengyuan community.

Han Chunming's Yongjian Decoration Company has taken on a lot of decoration business in Huafengyuan Community.

"Is this the building? Don't go the wrong way."

"Taozi, this house was decorated by my company. I've been here more than once, so how could I have gone wrong?"

"I saw Brother Taozi, there are quite a lot of people here."

"Taozi, Xiaoguan."

"Grandpa, Chunming, sister-in-law, Xiaokun, Jingping."

"Uncle Taozi, Auntie."

"Hey, Grasshopper and Cricket are upstairs, go play with them."

"Pingping, Xiaoyumi, Feifei, Mengmeng, let's go find katydids and crickets."

The girl Xiao Zongzi was not afraid of strangers at all. She waved her little hand and took Pingping, Xiao Yumi, Feifei and Mengmeng to run to find Li Zeguo and Li Ze's family.

"Taozi, Xiaoguan, congratulations on moving into your new home." Han Chunming handed the red envelope he had prepared in advance to Li Chengtao.

"Brother Taozi, Xiaoguan, congratulations." Yang Yukun said congratulations and handed over the red envelope he had prepared in advance.

Li Chengtao smiled and said, "Thank you. Dinner will take a while. Do you want to sit inside or in the garden?"

"Just focus on your own business and don't worry about us. Just entertain the others."

Many people came, all of them were relatives and friends of Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan.

Yang Yukun didn't know these people and had no interest in making new friends, so he and Xu Jingping went to visit the decoration of Li Chengtao's house.

Their father-in-law and mother-in-law also gave them a villa, which is still there and has not been renovated. It is a good place for reference.

"How is it? It's well decorated, isn't it?" Han Chunming said with a smile: "When you decorate your house, remember to find me. I will decorate it for you for free, using the best materials."

"Let's put it aside for now and wait until the little dumplings grow up."

"Okay, remember to tell me when you want to renovate it."

I received the Arctic Bison pickup truck sent by Yang Yukun a few days ago. It’s really fun to drive.

Including the Pangu Wrangler off-road vehicle, Yang Yukun has already given them two luxury cars.

When Yang Yukun wants to renovate his villa in Huafengyuan, Han Chunming will provide free decoration, using the best materials, the best masters, and the best craftsmanship.

"Brother Xiaowu, have you talked to Brother Jian and Brother Tu on the phone these two days? When will they be back?"

"I called the day before yesterday. I haven't called in the past two days. I'll call and ask in the evening."

"I'll call them after dinner."

Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu went to Nanyue. Yang Huajian went to Nanyue to discuss a business, while Mao Ditu went to deal with the matters of the Yangcheng branch of Fangge KTV, and delivered the Arctic Bison pickup truck that Yang Yukun prepared for Aofeng.

The two of them went to Nanyue last week, and it has been five or six days now.

The bear tooth protective pendants have been made, one for each of them. I will give them the pendants when they return from Nanyue.

"It's time to eat. Chunming, sister-in-law, Xiaokun, Jingping, let's go and eat."

"it is good."

"Where are the little Zongzi and the others?"

"Upstairs. I'll call them down."

"Grasshopper, cricket, little rice dumpling... stop playing and come down to eat."

"coming."

A large group of little ones ran down from upstairs. In addition to Xiao Zongzi and a few others, there were some children of Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan’s relatives and friends.

"Chunming, Xiaokun, you sit here and have a drink." Li Chengtao said, "Xiaokun, we haven't seen each other for half a year. We finally get together, so we should have a few drinks."

"Boss Li, you are very busy, and I can't see you even if I want to."

"Don't give me that. I'm in the company every day, and I basically go to your place to see the old man every day."

"You go to see Uncle Guan, but you don't come to my place."

"I'll definitely come talk to you next time."

"Okay, as long as I have nothing to do, I basically stay at home. You are welcome anytime."

"Come, drink."

"Taozi, congratulations on moving into your new home."

"Congratulations, Brother Taozi."

"Mr. Li, congratulations..."

"Thank you. Let's eat. I cooked this meal myself. Let's taste it." "It's delicious."

"Not bad, Taozi, your cooking skills have improved. The food you cook is much more delicious than before."

"That's right. After all, I am the owner of such a large restaurant chain. In my spare time, I have also learned a few tricks from the restaurant's master chef."

"Come on, touch one."

"Done."

After dinner at Li Chengtao's house, it was almost dark.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping left Huafengyuan Community first with Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi.

Han Chunming's family of four did not go with them, but went to Su Meng's uncle's house.

Su Meng's uncle also bought a house in Huafengyuan community and moved here from the hutong last month.

"Grandpa, grandma, Black Panther, we are back."

"Dad, mom."

"Xiaokun, Jingping, you are back."

"Dad, Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"Ate."

"Dad, Mom, this is a gift for you, a bear tooth protective pendant. It's said to ward off evil and avoid disasters."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "We are so old, why do we still need to wear pendants? Give them to Xiao Zongzi and the others."

"Grandma, we have it." Little Zongzi showed the pendant to his grandma.

Yang Yukun said, "There are only four tiger teeth, which are for Jingping, Xiaozongzi, Pingping, and Xiaoyumi. The rest are bear teeth. I will ask someone to make them into pendants. These two bear tooth pendants are for you. I hope you two will be healthy, free from disease and live a long life."

"Okay, then we'll accept it." Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen accepted the bear tooth amulet pendant given by their second son-in-law.

"Xiao Xia just called back and said that Xiao Rui had passed his doctoral thesis defense. They will stay in Milijian for a few more days to say goodbye to their friends in Milijian. They will probably be back around the 26th or 27th."

Just now while having dinner, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen received a call from their youngest daughter in Milijian.

Some time ago, my youngest daughter successfully passed her doctoral dissertation defense and received her Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University.

Yesterday, Ming Jirui passed his doctoral thesis defense and received his Ph.D. in business from Harvard University.

In a few days, my youngest daughter and her future son-in-law will come back from Milijian.

Xu Jingping said, "Dad, Mom, when Jingtian comes back, are you really going to hand over the company to her?"

"This girl is much better than us. She is the first doctor in our family. I believe this girl can lead Huafeng Company to go further. With Lixia assisting her, I believe she will be fine."

Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen are both not young anymore, one is 62 and the other is 60, both have reached their sixties.

If their youngest daughter had not insisted on studying abroad after graduating from college, they would have handed over the company to this girl and enjoyed their retirement life early.

Now that the girl has finally graduated, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen will hand over Huafeng Company to her when she comes back. While she is still in good health, they plan to drive out and take a look at the beautiful rivers and mountains of their motherland.

Now everything is ready, we are just waiting for this girl to come back and succeed to the throne.

"Master."

Yang Yukun came to his master's house in Yanzhi Hutong carrying two jars of wine and a basket of fruit.

"Here it is."

"Master, what are you busy with?"

After putting the things on the table, Yang Yukun followed the sound to the study.

"Look up some information." The ragged Hou took off his reading glasses and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I missed you and came to see you." Yang Yukun placed a wooden box in front of his master: "This is a gift from your disciple."

"What is it?" The Tattered Marquis opened the wooden box: "A mutton-fat jade animal tooth pendant?"

"This is a brown bear tooth. I got it from hunting in the Great Hair Country. I asked a master craftsman to make it into a pendant. This one is for you as a gift to ward off evil and eliminate disasters."

"Since you are so filial, I will accept it."

"I have another one here. I gave it to Xiaohua. I called him and he said he would be back in the afternoon."

"Then wait for this kid to come back and give it to him yourself."

"Okay, Master, are you planning to write a new book?"

"My next book is about trivial things in the hutongs, tentatively named "Interesting Things in the Hutongs."

"Xiaohua will be back in the afternoon. You can have dinner at my place."

"I'll go over there this afternoon."

"Got it."

After staying at his master's place for the whole morning, chatting and playing chess with the old man, Yang Yukun left his master's house after lunch.

In the afternoon, the master and his apprentices and their wives came home for dinner. Yang Yukun prepared a few chickens, ducks and geese to make roast chickens, roast ducks and roast geese. (End of this chapter)
