Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

After picking up my father-in-law and mother-in-law at the airport, it was already half past twelve when we returned to Beijing.

Yang Yukun and his father-in-law and mother-in-law went to Zhiweilou Restaurant in Wangfujing for lunch before returning home.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaokun." Seeing his parents and Yang Yukun enter the yard, Xu Jingping came out of the kitchen.

"Wife, you are at home. No wonder I went to your office to look for you, but Xiao Xu said you were not there."

After having lunch with his father-in-law and mother-in-law at the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant, Yang Yukun stopped by Xu Jingping's office. He thought Xu Jingping was still in the company.

Assistant Xu Qian told him that Xu Jingping left the company after having lunch.

"I've been back a long time ago."

"Wife, what are you doing?" Yang Yukun asked when he saw Xu Jingping wearing an apron.

"I'll cook dinner today. I'll make you a great meal. Today is March 12th."

"My birthday?"

"Yes, today is your birthday again."

"This year, in the leap month of March, I can celebrate two birthdays."

"Yes."

This year is a leap March.

On his birthday last month, Yang Yukun did not return from the Five Seas Port in the Great Mao Kingdom.

It’s Yang Yukun’s birthday this month, and Xu Jingping plans to cook a meal for him herself.

"Thank you, wife."

"You usually cook at home, so I'll cook for you today."

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat today."

Xu Jingping then asked his parents: "Dad, Mom, how is the discussion on Jingtian's marriage going? When will it be decided?"

"We will hold the wedding in the twelfth month of this year, on the eighth day of the twelfth month. The wedding will be held in the imperial capital. On the twelfth day, Jingtian and Xiaorui will return to Yangcheng to hold another wedding. We will invite relatives and friends in Yangcheng to have a wedding banquet."

"That's still about nine months."

"I'll ask Xiaowu to renovate the house in Huafengyuan as Jingtian and Xiaorui's wedding house. Do you want to renovate your house as well?"

"Let's not pretend to be like that for now. Let's wait until Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi and the others are older."

"Okay, then I'll ask Jingli and the others if they want to pretend together."

Xu Huizhen immediately picked up the phone and called her eldest daughter and her family, but she and her family all said they would not pretend for the time being.

"Wife, do you need my help?" Yang Yukun brought the things brought back by his father-in-law and mother-in-law into the house, and then went to the kitchen.

"No, you're the birthday boy today, just wait and eat."

"Got it."

"Don't stay in the kitchen. Go watch some TV or read a book. I'll prepare the ingredients first."

"it is good."

Yang Yukun was driven out of the kitchen by Xu Jingping, so he went to the living room of the main house to chat with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After staying at home for a while, his father-in-law and mother-in-law said they had to go to the company, so Yang Yukun went to the study and read for a while.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi came back from school.

The little ones all knew that today was Dad’s birthday, and they all prepared gifts for him.

"Little Zongzi, call grandpa and grandma and ask them to come back for dinner."

"Okay, Mom." Little Zongzi picked up the phone and called his grandparents.

After receiving a call from their eldest granddaughter, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen returned to their second daughter and son-in-law’s home in less than half an hour.

"time to eat."

"Dad, sit here and I'll pour you some wine."

"it is good."

"Dad, I toast to you and wish you a happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Yang Yukun picked up the wine bowl and clinked glasses with Xiaozongzi, Pingping and Xiaoyumi who were drinking coconut milk.

Xu Jingping smiled and said, "Comrade Yang Yukun, happy birthday."

"Thank you, wife."

Accompanied by his family, Yang Yukun celebrated his second birthday this year.

…………

After completing her studies and returning from Milijian, her parents gave her half a month to take care of her own chores.

Xu Jingtian first accompanied Ming Jirui to Yangcheng to see his future parents-in-law, then went to see his eldest sister and the second sister who was originally the car inspector, and then went to meet up with his good sisters, and returned to the imperial capital in mid-May. After the youngest daughter came back, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen officially handed over Huafeng Company to the youngest daughter for management, and they both officially retired from the company.

After taking over the company, Xu Jingtian integrated Huafeng Company into Huafeng Group.

The newly established Huafeng Group includes Huafeng Real Estate Company, Huafeng Hotel Company, Huafeng Trading Company, and the newly established Huafeng Technology Company.

Huafeng Real Estate Company is mainly engaged in real estate development. It has a design department and an engineering construction company. It has the first-class qualification as a general contracting enterprise for housing construction projects and the first-class qualification as a general contracting enterprise for highway engineering projects.

Huafeng Hotel Company owns two hotel chain brands: Sanqiuye Hotel and February Flower Hotel.

Huafeng Trading Company has not changed much, and is still mainly engaged in foreign trade with the country of Damao as before.

As for Huafeng Technology Company, it is a new high-tech enterprise established after Xu Jingtian took over Huafeng Company. The general manager is Ming Jirui, who is in charge of administration, and the deputy general manager is Chen Qingming, who is in charge of technology.

Xu Jingtian persuaded his fourth brother-in-law, who worked at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to come to Huafeng Technology as chief technology officer.

In the newly established Huafeng Group, Xu Jingtian serves as chairman, He Lixia serves as vice chairman, and Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen no longer hold any positions in the company.

Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen transferred 55% of the company's shares to their youngest daughter, retaining 10% each. The remaining shares were transferred to He Lixia, 5% to Chen Qingming, and 5% to their son-in-law Ming Jirui.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law."

"Jingtian is back, have you eaten yet?"

"I have eaten. I ate at the company."

"Working overtime at the company again?"

"I just took over a lot of things in the company. I was almost exhausted these days. But my parents left such a big job to me and went on a road trip."

The next day after returning to the capital, her parents handed over the company to her and drove off on a road trip.

Xu Jingtian had just called his parents in the afternoon. The old couple was now sunbathing and eating a seafood feast at the Qilu Beach.

She has been very busy since taking over the company, working overtime every day.

If it weren't for her fourth sister He Lixia, she wouldn't be able to manage such a big business for a while.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, this is the invitation that Meimei asked me to bring to you."

Xu Jingtian came to see my third sister and brother-in-law, and he had another thing to do, which was to send wedding invitations to them.

It was not her wedding invitation. Although she and Ming Jirui had registered and obtained a marriage certificate from the relevant authorities and became a legal couple, it was still a long time before they could hold their wedding.

This wedding invitation is from Luo Xuemei.

Today Luo Xuemei went to the headquarters of Huafeng Group to see her. Because she had to go back to work in the afternoon, she asked her to bring back the invitations to her third sister and brother-in-law.

"April 20th of the lunar calendar, Imperial Capital Hotel." Yang Yukun opened the invitation.

On the 20th day of the fourth lunar month, Luo Xuemei held her wedding at the Imperial Capital Hotel and invited him and Xu Jingping to the Imperial Capital Hotel for the wedding banquet.

Xu Jingping asked: "What time is it today?"

Xu Jingtian said, "April 5th, there is still half a month left."

"Among you, you and Meimei are the only ones who haven't gotten married yet, right?"

"Meimei and I have registered and obtained our marriage certificate, but we haven't had the wedding yet."

From a legal perspective, she and Luo Xuemei are both registered married people.

However, compared with Wang Qingyu, Lu Dongmei, Yang Hong, Yi Min, Zhang Qiong and others, she and Luo Xuemei got married much later.

Wang Qingyu's son is one year old, Yang Hong's son is three years old, Yi Min's son is two years old, Zhang Qiong's son is three years old, and Lu Dongmei's son is two years old. They both have to hurry up.

"Fifth Aunt, you're here." After practicing his exercises and taking a medicinal bath, little Zongzi came to the living room of the main house.

"Xiao Zongzi, where are Pingping and Xiao Yumi?"

"It should be at Lanlan's house, or over at the compound."

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, I'm going to go back first. I've been busy all day and I'm exhausted."

"Come back. Come over for breakfast tomorrow?"

"Come on, Third Brother-in-law, I want to eat noodles with gravy."

"Okay, I'll do it for you."

"Goodbye, Fifth Aunt."

"See you tomorrow."

After staying with his third sister and brother-in-law for a while, Xu Jingtian got up and left.

It's been another busy day, I'm physically and mentally exhausted, so I went back early to wash up and go to bed.

"It's getting dark, Pingping and Xiaoyumi haven't come back yet, I'll go check on them."

It was dark and Pingping and Xiaoyumi still hadn't returned, so Yang Yukun went out to look for the two little guys.

After not finding anyone in the compound, Yang Yukun went to Fan Xiaojun's house. Pingping and Xiao Yumi were playing hide-and-seek with Hou Li and the others. (End of this chapter)
