Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Sister Chushi."

According to the address given by Mao Luzhu, Yang Ping drove to a shopping mall on Chaowai Street.

When Mao Luzhu was found, she was shopping for clothes with her two friends in the mall.

"mediocre."

Mao Luzhu waved at Yang Ping, walked up to him and naturally took his arm.

"Lu Zhu, won't you introduce this handsome guy to us?"

"My boyfriend is Yang Ping." Mao Luzhu introduced Yang Ping's identity openly: "Pingping, let me introduce you to Liang Xinyue and Jiang Manxing. They are both teachers in our school."

"Teacher Liang, Teacher Jiang, hello." Yang Ping greeted with a smile.

Mao Luzhu is now a teacher at Xiaguo Conservatory of Music.

Because I was interested in music, I was admitted to Xiaguo Conservatory of Music after graduating from high school and received a master's degree.

After graduating from university, he released two albums through Brilliant Media and became a little famous in the music industry.

In the first half of this year, I returned to Xiaguo Conservatory of Music to teach.

"Lu Zhu, no wonder you didn't accept so many people pursuing you. It turns out that you have such a handsome boyfriend."

"Lu Zhu, you hid it so well. We've been colleagues for half a year, but I didn't know you had a partner. I was planning to wait for my cousin to come back from Mi Li Jian in a while and introduce you to him."

"Teacher Jiang, thank you for considering my lifelong event so much. There's no need to introduce me to a date. I already have my own family, Pingping."

"Lu Zhu, tell me, how did you get to know this handsome guy?"

"Childhood sweethearts."

"real or fake?"

"Why would I lie to you? My dad and Pingping's dad are close friends. We grew up together. Do you think we are childhood sweethearts?"

"You two are childhood sweethearts, are you engaged?"

"What era is it still to arrange marriages when children are young? We didn't have any marriages when we were children. We were in a relationship when we were in college."

Mao Luzhu and Yang Ping did not have an arranged marriage. They established a romantic relationship when she was a sophomore and Yang Ping was a freshman, and they have been together for seven years now.

When Yang Ping went to study at the University of Science and Technology of China in Xiangchu, Mao Luzhu often went to Xiangchu to visit him.

However, the fact that they were dating was kept a secret from their family and no one has been told until now.

"Teacher Liang, Teacher Jiang, I won't continue to accompany you. Pingping and his friends finally came back and arranged a gathering with a large group of our childhood playmates. We'll go over there first."

"It's just a private time for the two of us. It's not a gathering of childhood friends. No need to make excuses. We understand."

"That's right, you two should go to your own world. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival and the day after tomorrow is National Day. You have several days off. Have fun."

“It’s really a gathering of childhood playmates.”

"Explanation is to cover."

"I can't help it if you insist on thinking in a wrong way. Let's go now. See you after the holidays."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye, Pingping, let's go. Sister Zongzi and the others are waiting anxiously."

"Okay." Yang Ping and Mao Luzhu walked downstairs hand in hand and came to the parking lot: "Princess, please get in the car."

Mao Luzhu laughed and said, "Comrade Yang Ping, when did you become so romantic?"

"I'm not a blockhead. I'm also a romantic. Fasten your seatbelts."

"Help me tie it."

"it is good."

"Come on."

"Mr. Mao Luzhu, this is your fault. You actually attacked me by surprise. I have to kiss you back."

"Someone."

An elderly couple said: "We didn't see anything. We're leaving now. You two can continue."

Auntie: "Young people nowadays are so bold. When we were dating, we didn't even dare to hold hands in public."

The old man said: "That's right, go away, old woman, and don't disturb the young couple."

"Haha... Let's go, Comrade Yang Ping, and go find Sister Xiao Zongzi and the others."

"I'm going to visit Uncle Tu and Auntie tomorrow."

"Are you going as a nephew or as a son-in-law?"

"Of course, I'm going to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law as a son-in-law."

"Okay."

Mao Luzhu smiled very happily, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

This time when he comes back, Yang Ping plans to confess to his parents about his romantic relationship with Mao Luzhu.

They have been together for so many years, it's time to be honest about their relationship and give Mao Luzhu an explanation.

…………

"Pingping and Chushi are here."

"Ping Ping, the tenth day."

"You two are really dating, even holding hands."

"I'm right, right? Chushi and Pingping are definitely dating. This is the evidence."

I saw the latest model of Siberian Tiger off-road vehicle driving over. It was the car driven by Yang Ping.

Seeing the two people holding hands, Xiao Zongzi and his group immediately understood the relationship between them.

Mao Wenming said that Yang Ping and Mao Luzhu were dating, and it turned out to be true. Mao Luzhu greeted: "Little Zongzi sister, Little Yumi, brother, Mosquito brother, Feifei, Mengmeng, Brother Yiheng..."

Yang Xu said, "Okay, you two, when did it start?"

"Two thousand and five."

"That was when Pingping first entered college. You haven't leaked any information in seven years. You did a great job keeping it a secret."

"You two have been dating for seven years?"

"Pingping, you are really good. You managed to get my sister seven years ago."

Yang Ping said, "Brother Fifteen, it's unfair. Sister Chushi and I are in a free relationship. There was no deception between us."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Sister Chushi, should I call you sister-in-law from now on?"

Mao Luzhu smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Yumi, call me sister-in-law."

"sister in law."

"Hey."

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law….”

"Why……."

"Sister-in-law, shouldn't you give me a red envelope for changing your words?"

"The day after tomorrow I will treat you to a feast. You can choose any restaurant in the city."

"Next time, I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow."

"It's National Day the day after tomorrow. Doesn't your company have a holiday for National Day?"

"The project I'm working on is quite urgent, so I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow."

Yang Xu said, "I have to leave the day after tomorrow, so I am taking advantage of the time tonight to invite you guys out for a get-together. Otherwise, I don't know when we will get together next time."

"Pingping, what about you?" Mao Luzhu asked Yang Ping turning his head.

"I will also return to the army the day after tomorrow."

Yang Ping also wanted to stay at home for a few more days and enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, but he was a soldier, and his relationship with holidays meant that he had to wear military uniform and hold a gun to protect this prosperity and tranquility.

It's good enough that he can take a few days off and come back. There are many comrades in the army who haven't been home for several years.

"Okay, I'll take you there when the time comes." Mao Luzhu also hoped that Yang Ping could stay at home for a few more days.

But she understood and supported Yang Ping.

She knew from the time she started dating Yang Ping that his military status meant they were destined to spend more time together than together.

She doesn't regret her choice and she will always support him.

Mao Wenming said, "Don't make the atmosphere so sad. Little Zongzi, Pingping, and Little Yumi finally come back. We, the childhood playmates, finally get together again. We should all be happy. Let's drink this cup to the full and wish our friendship will last forever."

"cheers!"

"Fill it up, fill it up, let's not go home until we're drunk tonight."

"Time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, we are all approaching 30."

"Yes, time flies like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, we have grown from carefree little kids to adults."

"Among our group of brothers and sisters, Fifteen is the oldest, right?"

"My brother was born in 1983."

"Where's Brother Yiheng?"

"I was born in 1984."

"I was also born in 1984. Yiheng, what month were you in 1984?"

"October."

"Then you are one month younger than me. I am September eighth."

"Brother Shiwu is the oldest, Brother Mosquito is second, and Brother Yiheng is third. I was born in May 1985, Chushiba was born in August 1985, Feifei and Mengmeng were born in September 1985, Pingping and Xiaoyumi were born in June 1987, and Lanlan was born in April 1989... As for Yongheng, Hehe, Chengjing, Chengtian, Xiaohe, and Xiaxia, they were all born in the 1990s, and Xiaxia was the youngest, born in 1998."

"Among us, the ones who are married are Brother Mosquito and Brother Yiheng, right?"

"Yes, Brother Mosquito and Brother Yiheng both have two children."

"Brothers and sisters, you have to work hard too. Yiheng and I are waiting to drink in your wedding wine."

"Ahem... Well, I'd like to take this opportunity today to make an announcement."

"Fei Fei, what big news do you want to announce to your brothers and sisters?"

"Are you in a relationship?"

"Let me introduce my partner to you brothers and sisters, Comrade Yang Jing."

“Puff…, cough cough cough…”

"Fei Fei, Xiao Yumi, you two...oh my god, when did it happen?"

"Fei Fei, Xiao Yumi, you two have given us a big surprise."

"Pingping and Chushi, then Feifei and Xiaoyumi, are there any other couples among the brothers and sisters here? Don't hide it, take the initiative to stand up, my little heart can't bear it."

"When did you get together? Confess and I'll give you leniency. Resist and I'll give you severity. Otherwise, you brothers and sisters will be severely punished."

"About six years ago, I took the initiative to confess my feelings to Xiao Yumi."

"One pair was seven years ago, and the other pair was six years ago. Are you guys working behind enemy lines? You're so good at keeping secrets?"

It was already surprising enough for them that Yang Ping and Mao Luzhu were a couple, but then another couple emerged.

One couple had been together for seven years, and another for six years, but their brothers and sisters didn't know anything about them.

Wow, this confidentiality work is really good, just like a secret agent. (End of this chapter)
