Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Brother, Uncle Kun and the others are here."

Seeing a car driving towards the gate of No. 4 Middle School, Peng Jun knew that it was Uncle Kun and his friends, and waved to them.

"If you want to climb the Great Wall, just go by yourself. Why did you have to pull me up? I was so trapped."

Peng Tao was yawning continuously, he wished he could kick Peng Jun into the ditch.

He was sleeping soundly, but this kid insisted on waking him up and asking him to climb the Great Wall together.

"Teacher Peng, aren't you not going?" Yang Yukun parked the car in front of the two brothers.

Xiao Zongzi said, "Yes, Uncle Xiao Taozi, didn't you say you wouldn't climb the Great Wall with us? Why are you going now?"

Peng Jun laughed and said, "You forced me to pull it up."

Peng Tao yawned: "I said I couldn't go, but this kid insisted on dragging me along. If I couldn't beat you, I would have beaten you."

"Brother, get in the car. Don't waste time. The sun will be out soon." Peng Jun opened the car door and pushed his cousin into the car: "Uncle Kun, let's go."

"Row."

After picking up brothers Peng Tao and Peng Jun, Yang Yukun drove the specially made bulletproof version of the Wild Knight straight to Badaling.

The car has a relatively large space, and since Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi are relatively small in size, it is not crowded for five people to sit in the back seat.

We set out from the gate of No. 4 Middle School at 2:30 and arrived at our destination at 3:40 in the morning. We packed our gear, food, water, etc. and began our night climb of the Great Wall.

"Brother Xiaojun, let's have a competition to see who can climb up first."

"Okay."

"Dad, Mom, Uncle Xiao Taozi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, hurry up."

"Teacher Peng, are you okay?"

"Huh... I'm so tired."

"You are not even as good as Ping Ping and Xiao Yumi. Look how fast Ping Ping and Xiao Yumi run."

"I haven't done such strenuous exercise in years. The last time I climbed the Great Wall was ten years ago."

Although Peng Tao stayed in the capital to work after graduating from university, he also moved his household registration to the capital and became a citizen of the capital.

But I haven’t been to the tourist attractions in the capital many times since I started working.

When he was in college, he climbed the Great Wall several times, but the last time he climbed the Great Wall was ten years ago.

Due to the reduction in exercise and his age, Peng Tao was already sweating profusely and panting from exhaustion after just over ten minutes of climbing.

"Brother, your physical fitness is too poor. At your speed, the sun will be high in the sky by the time we climb up."

"Huh... I said I couldn't come, but you insisted that I come, and now you blame me for holding you back."

"I didn't expect your physical condition to be so poor now. I remember when we were threshing grain at home, you carried a load of 150 to 160 kilograms and ran very fast."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Today is different from the past."

"If you really can't climb anymore, I'll carry you up."

"No, you guys go ahead and I'll climb slowly. If I can't climb anymore, I'll wait for you down below."

"Now that you're here, why don't you go up? I'll carry you."

"You kid..., slow down, don't drop me."

"will not."

Peng Jun forcibly carried Peng Tao on his back and rushed up in two steps instead of three.

When Xiao Zongzi saw Peng Jun catching up, he smiled and continued to run upwards.

Yang Yukun smiled and asked Xu Jingping: "Wife, do you want me to carry you?"

"Need not."

Xu Jingping climbed up quickly. She was in good physical condition and didn't need Yang Yukun to carry her up.

"Pingping, Xiaoyumi, can you two still crawl?"

"I can crawl."

"Dad, look how fast I can run. Come and catch up with us."

"coming."

"whee……."

"You guys ran too fast. Dad couldn't catch up with you."

"Come on daddy."

"it is good."

An hour and a half later, before half past five, the group reached the twelfth floor of the North Building.

Peng Jun carried his cousin Peng Tao on his back all the way to the 12th floor of the North Building and didn't feel very tired.

Little Zongzi was the first to reach the twelfth floor on the north side. This girl ran the fastest and did not rest at all during the entire journey.

Pingping and Xiaoyumi also climbed the entire route by themselves without asking their parents to carry them.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping were the last to go up to the 12th floor of the north building. They had to walk behind and watch over the children to prevent them from running too fast and falling from above.

"Little Zongzi, are you tired?"

“Not at all.”

"Where are Pingping and Xiaoyu?"

"Not tired."

"I was scared to death." Peng Tao slowed down. Peng Jun was carrying him up the mountain and he didn't slow down even on the steep and difficult sections. He almost had a heart attack.

"It's still a while before the sun comes out, let's take a rest and eat something first."

Yang Yukun took out a mat from his bag and took out some water and food.

Gradually, the sky began to turn white, and a red sun emerged from the horizon.

"The sun is coming out!"

"So beautiful." "Click, click..."

Yang Yukun once again transformed himself into a photographer and was responsible for taking photos.

The sun gradually rose higher until it was bright.

After packing up their things, the group returned down the mountain the same way they came, meeting many people who came to climb the Great Wall along the way.

At 8:30 in the morning, Yang Yukun and his group returned to Sijiucheng from Badaling.

After returning from Badaling, Peng Jun followed Peng Tao to Fangshan.

…………

a few days later.

The final of the Kunping subject competition came to an end, and Peng Tao invited Yang Yukun and Wang Aiguo to go out to eat hotpot at Zhiweilou Hotpot Restaurant.

The two students from his school were very competitive. In the qualifying round of the Kunping subject competition finals, they won fourth place in mathematics and sixth place in physics respectively.

This morning, leaders from the municipal government, district government and other departments visited their school and expressed their affirmation of their work.

On the afternoon of August 3, Yang Yukun's family of five and Wang Aiguo, Peng Tao, Ding Baosong, He Changfu, and Peng Jun arrived in Yuzhou.

The next morning, Yang Yukun and his team drove to Shicheng County.

Xu Jingping did not go with them and went to Zhiwei Food’s production factory in Yuzhou.

After meeting with Peng Jianguo and others, Yang Yukun will take Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi to meet Xu Jingping.

At 11:30 am, Yang Yukun and his team arrived at Peng Jianguo's home.

"Xiao Kun, Lao Wang, Lao Ding, Lao He!"

When he heard a car driving into the yard, Peng Jianguo knew that Yang Yukun and others had arrived, and he hurried out of the kitchen.

"Old Peng!"

"Brother, long time no see. I miss you so much."

"Brothers, I miss you too. I haven't had time to visit you in all these years since graduation. It's you who came to Shicheng County to see me. I feel really guilty, brothers."

"We all know that you are busy with work. As long as you work hard and do a good job of serving the people wholeheartedly, we won't blame you."

“Always keep in mind the guidance of your mentor, fearing that you will not do well enough.”

"Uncle Peng."

"Hey, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, you have all grown so tall that uncle can hardly recognize you."

"Dad, where are my grandma and my mom?"

"Your grandma went to visit the neighbors next door, and your mom went to your grandparents' house."

"I'll take the things home first." Peng Tao carried the things into the house, and then took the remaining things back to his home next door.

Peng Jianguo said: "Taozi, call your parents and ask them to come over for dinner."

"Okay, I'll call them."

"Xiao He and Yi Heng didn't come back?"

"No."

"The old lady said she missed her great-great-grandson and kept complaining about why he hadn't come back yet."

"Wait until winter break."

Yang Yukun said, "Where is my nephew Xiaoli? Didn't he come back during the summer vacation?"

"I'm back, back to Yuzhou." Peng Jianguo said with a smile.

The eldest son Peng Li was attending university in Yuzhou. He came back for two days during the summer vacation and then returned to Yuzhou.

This kid found a summer job in Yuzhou to earn his living expenses, and has been doing so for the past few years.

"Grandma is back."

"old lady."

"Xiao Kun, Xiao Wang, Xiao Ding, Xiao He, it's you who are here."

"Grandma."

"Hey, you are Xiao Zongzi, you are Pingping, and you are Xiao Yumi, am I remembering correctly?"

"Hehe..., Grandma, you remembered it right."

"Ma'am, how are you?"

"I'm in good health, Taozi. My granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson haven't come back yet?"

"Grandma, they will come back to see you during the winter vacation."

"alright."

"How about you come back to the capital with me and live there for a while?"

"Don't go."

This wasn’t the first time that the eldest grandson and his wife had said they wanted to take her to live in the capital, but the old lady herself didn’t want to go.

She could still hang out with her old sisters and chat in her hometown, but she didn't want to go to the imperial capital where she was unfamiliar with the place.

About ten minutes later, Peng Tao's parents came back, and Peng Jianguo invited Yang Yukun and his group into the house for dinner.

This time, Yang Yukun and his companions stayed in Shicheng County for two days. After arriving in Yuzhou, they asked the crew to send Wang Aiguo, Ding Baosong and He Changfu back first.

Yang Yukun took Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi to meet Xu Jingping.

The two of them took Xiao Zongzi to play in Yuzhou for two days, and then set off for Sichuan.

It was not until mid-August that the family of five returned to the imperial capital.

I originally planned to take Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi out to play for a while and then come back when school starts.

Zhang Bei's son is getting married, so he has to rush back to attend the wedding banquet. (End of this chapter)
