Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Third Aunt, Third Uncle, Aunt Cheng, Third Sister, I'm here!"

"Xiaoxia is here."

"Where is my fifth sister? Why can't I see her?"

After receiving the call from her fifth sister, He Xiaoxia immediately put down the work in her hands and rushed over from Simatai as quickly as possible.

Xu Huizhen said: "Jingtian took Xiaorui to visit her friend and will be back soon."

"Little Zongzi and Pingping, Little Yumi, haven't they finished school yet?"

"almost."

"Third aunt, third uncle, my fifth sister has finished her studies and is back. Are you going to officially retire and travel around the country by car?"

"Correct."

Cheng Xueru heard this and said, "Huizhen, Lao Cai, are you two really planning to retire?"

"I'm sixty, not sixty-two. Why don't I retire at my age? While I'm still healthy, we plan to go see the mountains and rivers after retirement. In a few years, when I'm older, I won't be able to do it even if I want to."

"You're right. Maybe I should consider retiring."

Several years ago, Cheng Xueru heard Xu Huizhen say that she wanted to retire and travel around the motherland.

At that time, Xu Jingtian insisted on studying abroad. Now that the girl has completed her studies and returned, it seems that Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu are really going to quit.

Cheng Xueru is about the same age as Xu Huizhen and is also sixty years old this year.

The two of them fought for decades, and from being enemies they became in-laws.

Now that Xu Huizhen has decided to retire, Cheng Xueru has also begun to think about retiring.

"Just quit if you should. Xiaojun and Lili are both excellent. You have nothing to worry about leaving the company to them."

"Then quit and hand over the company to Xiaojun and Lili. I will step down and take care of their children."

"When we all retire, we can go on a road trip together."

"I'm not going with you. Why should I follow you two on a road trip?"

"How about you find another partner?"

"I'm already 60 years old, why would I need a partner? I'll just stay at home and take care of my grandchildren, and when I have nothing to do, I'll gossip with the old men and women in the alley."

"I'll go see what delicious food my third brother-in-law is making." He Xiaoxia came to the kitchen skipping and jumping: "Third brother-in-law, what are you cooking that smells so good?"

"Red stewed lamb, spicy lamb trotters, braised pork, fish, roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose..."

“So many delicious foods.”

"Xiao Xia, call your fifth sister and ask them when they will be back."

The dishes are almost ready, and we can eat in an hour at most.

After lunch, Xu Jingtian took Ming Jirui out to look for Wang Qingyu, Luo Xuemei, Lu Dongmei and others, but they haven't come back yet.

"Okay, I'll call Sister Five."

"Call Lixia as well and ask her and Qingming when they will get off work."

"Understood." He Xiaoxia took out her mobile phone from her bag and called her fifth sister first and then her fourth sister: "Fifth sister said she is on her way back, and fourth sister said she has some things to deal with at the company and will be done in another half an hour."

"Give."

Yang Yukun took out two spicy lamb trotters from the pot and gave them to He Xiaoxia. The girl was so greedy that she was almost drooling.

"Hehe..., thank you, third brother-in-law. Xiao Zongzi and Pingping, Xiao Yumi, they should be finishing school soon. I'll go pick them up from school."

The spicy lamb trotters made by the third brother-in-law were delicious, but a little spicy. He Xiaoxia took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator to relieve the spiciness.

After eating two spicy lamb trotters, He Xiaoxia ran to the school to pick up Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi and others.

After a while, He Xiaoxia walked to Qianmen Kindergarten.

"Fifth sister, fifth brother-in-law!"

"Xiao Xia!"

"Fifth sister, fifth brother-in-law, it really is you."

"Are you here to pick up Ping Ping and Xiao Yumi as well?"

"Yes."

He Xiaoxia met her fifth sister and brother-in-law at Qianmen Kindergarten. She and her fifth sister also came to the kindergarten to pick up Pingping and Xiaoyumi.

"Pingping and Xiaoyumi are out."

Xu Jingtian and Ming Jirui went to see Wang Qingyu and Luo Xuemei first. When they received He Xiaoxia's call, they had just left Lu Dongmei's unit.

At this time, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi are about to finish school.

After not seeing them for such a long time, Xu Jingtian really missed the little ones, so he came to the school to pick them up and take them home.

Pingping and Xiaoyumi had to finish school first, so Xu Jingtian and Ming Jirui went to the kindergarten first, and after picking up Pingping and Xiaoyumi, they went to the elementary school to pick up Xiaozongzi.

"Ping Ping, Little Corn, Black Panther!"

"Woof woof woof...!"

"It's the fifth aunt and the youngest aunt!"

"Fifth Aunt!"

"Auntie!"

Pingping and Xiaoyumi heard someone calling them, and they looked up and found it was their fifth aunt and second aunt.

My grandparents and my parents said that my fifth aunt would come back from Milijian today. Pingping and Xiaoyumi had been looking forward to seeing my fifth aunt earlier for a few days.

"Woof woof woof...!"

Black Panther ran to Xu Jingtian first and jumped around him.

"Black Panther, long time no see." "Woof woof woof..."

"Haha..., I'm also very happy to see you."

"Woof woof woof..."

"Fifth Aunt, I miss you so much!"

"Fifth Aunt misses you too." Xu Jingtian hugged Pingping and Xiaoyumi and patted the two little guys on the head.

He Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Pingping, Xiaoyumi, don't you two miss me?"

Little Corn smiled and said, "Hehe..., Auntie, we miss you too."

"That's better. I'll take you to my villa in two days' time."

"Okay."

Ming Jirui smiled and said, "Pingping, Xiaoyumi, do you two still recognize me?"

"I know you, you are my fifth uncle."

"Hello, Fifth Uncle."

Pingping and Xiaoyumi have good memories. This person is their fifth aunt’s boyfriend and he had been to their house before.

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, they still remember that this is their fifth uncle.

"Hello, your fifth aunt and I brought you gifts from Milijian. We will give them to you when we return."

"Thank you, Uncle Fifth."

"You're welcome."

Xu Jingtian waved to the little girl beside him: "Lanlan, come here, do you still recognize me?"

"Aunt Jingtian."

"So nice."

Xu Jingtian patted the little girl on the head. This girl was Fan Xiaojun’s daughter Fan Yonglan, who went to Qianmen Kindergarten with Pingping and Xiaoyumi.

"Pingping, Xiaoyumi, get in the car. We are going to pick up your sister. Lanlan, you should get in the car too. Your grandma is at your uncle's house. We will go to your uncle's house for dinner later."

Xu Jingtian asked a few little ones to get in the car, and then went to a nearby elementary school to pick up Xiao Zongzi.

After waiting at the school gate for a while, Xiao Zongzi, Hou Li, Feifei, and Mengmeng came out of the school together.

"Fifth aunt, little aunt!"

"Fifth Aunt, it's really you!"

"Aunt Jingtian, Aunt Xiaoxia."

"Xiao Zongzi, Xiao Li, Fei Fei, Meng Meng." Xu Jingtian said with a smile: "Xiao Zongzi, Xiao Li, do you miss Aunt Wu?"

"Yes, Fifth Aunt, I miss you so much."

"Where's Xiaoli?"

"Fifth Aunt, I miss you too."

He Xiaoxia said: "Xiao Zongzi, Xiao Li, don't you two miss your aunt? Your aunt loves you so much in vain."

"Hehe...Auntie, are you jealous?"

"Yes, think about how to comfort your aunt."

"Don't be jealous, Auntie. Fifth Auntie and Fifth Uncle-in-law will be back today. My dad must have made a lot of delicious food. Eat more later."

"You are quite good at comforting people."

"Hehe..., Fifth Aunt, Fifth Uncle, Little Aunt, let's go home quickly. I'm hungry."

"Get in the car and go home."

"There's not enough room for so many people. I'll sit in the bed." Little Zongzi threw his schoolbag into the bed of the pickup truck, jumped up, grabbed the edge of the board, and flipped into the bed.

"Xiao Li, Fei Fei, Meng Meng, come on up, I'll pull you up." Xiao Zongzi pulled Hou Li, Fei Fei, and Meng Meng onto the truck bed and patted the roof: "Fifth Aunt, drive, let's go home for dinner."

"Sit still, hold on tight."

"Got it."

"Let's go."

Xu Jingtian started the car and returned to his third sister and brother-in-law's house in a short while.

"Aunt Jingtian, Aunt Xiaoxia, we will go back first."

"Sister Xiao Zongzi, Xiao Li, Ping Ping, Xiao Yumi, Lan Lan, we will come over to play with you after dinner."

"Fei Fei, Meng Meng, both of you come into the house and have dinner. My dad has already prepared dinner. You two can eat at my house."

Xiao Zongzi pulled Feifei and Mengmeng into the house and wouldn't let them leave.

"We are back, Grandpa, Grandma, Grandma Cheng, Dad, Mom."

"Grandpa, grandma, grandma, third aunt, third uncle."

"Grandma, Grandpa Cai, Grandma Xu, Uncle, Aunt."

"Uncle Kun..."

Yang Yukun said, "You little ones, go wash your hands and prepare for dinner. Jingtian, Qingyu, Meimei, and Dongmei, aren't they coming over?"

"They haven't finished get off work yet. I'll treat them to a meal alone tomorrow."

"Xiao Xia, give Li Xia another call and ask if they've arrived."

"it is good."

Ten minutes later, He Lixia's family of three came over and everyone gathered to eat. (End of this chapter)
