Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Dad, Mom, Zhenbang and I are going back to work tomorrow."

On the way back home from Zheng Zhenbang's house, Yang Ping told her parents that she and Zheng Zhenbang would leave for work tomorrow.

My brother and sister-in-law’s wedding is over, and it’s time for them to go back to work.

The flight back to Chang'an has been purchased. It will take off at 8:55 tomorrow morning and arrive at Chang'an Airport at 11:10 noon.

Xu Jingping said, "I'll go back tomorrow. It's not easy for me to come back once. Can't I stay at home for a few more days?"

"Mom, I will be back in two months to hold the wedding. I'll trouble you and my dad to take care of the wedding preparations."

"alright."

This was not the first time the children had left home, and Xu Jingping had long been accustomed to it.

I have to rush back to work tomorrow, so let's go back.

Yang Yukun said, "Girl, your future parents-in-law want you to go to their house for dinner tomorrow. You and Xiao Zheng will be going back to Chang'an tomorrow morning, so you two won't be able to have dinner tomorrow."

Yang Xu smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, please eat more for me."

"It can only be this way."

After leaving their in-laws’ house, Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping and Dayatou first went to their son and daughter-in-law’s home in Huafengyuan Community.

Friends, relatives and neighbors are still chatting and playing cards here.

After staying at their son and daughter-in-law's home for more than an hour, Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping and their group left.

When it’s time to go back to the alley, go back to the alley; when it’s time to go back to the hotel

The following long night was left to the young couple.

"We are here, Xiaokun, Jingping, Xiaozongzi, you guys can go back now."

"Grandpa and grandma, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Yang Yukun parked the car in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law's yard, and waited for them to enter the house before driving back to his own home.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to the house first. I'm so sleepy."

After saying goodbye to her parents, Yang Xu went back to her room first. She only slept four or five hours a day during the two days before her brother's wedding.

"Pack all these for the eldest girl, and let her and Xiao Zheng take them back to work to eat."

"Don't take these. The weather is too hot and they will go bad in a short time."

"You can vacuum it. Didn't you buy a home vacuum sealer before? It won't break down so quickly if you vacuum it."

"Here it is."

The eldest girl took a rest, but Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping were still busy.

The eldest girl and her son-in-law will leave for work tomorrow morning. They will pack some luggage for the eldest girl and prepare some of her favorite food.

During the hot summer months of June and July, some things will spoil easily if left alone, so they are vacuum packed.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, take a rest, wife."

"The door is not closed."

"I'll go and turn it off."

After packing up the things prepared for the eldest girl, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping also returned to the room, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The next day, Yang Yukun got up very early, earlier than usual.

I took out some chickens, ducks and geese from the portable planting space and roasted them, and would bring them to the eldest girl when she returns to Chang'an.

After the roast chicken, roast duck and roast goose are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool down so that they can be vacuum packed later.

Then Yang Yukun began to prepare breakfast.

There are a lot of people having breakfast today.

My son’s comrades and classmates include Ding Baosong and others, Ran Xiaoyi and others, and his godson, a total of more than 40 people.

"Xiao Kun."

"Daughter-in-law, wake up."

"When did you get up?"

Xu Jingping was awakened by the noise coming from the kitchen. Usually she would sleep until around seven o'clock.

In the past, nightlife was not so rich. I basically went to bed before nine o'clock and got up earlier.

The nightlife is much richer now than before, so we go to bed a little later and get up a little later.

Looking at Yang Yukun who was busy in the kitchen, Xu Jingping didn't even notice when he got up.

"It's been a while." When Xu Jingping got up, the roast chicken, roast duck and roast goose had all cooled down.

"Dad, Mom." Yang Xu woke up when he heard his parents talking.

"Girl, are we talking too loudly and waking you up?"

"I was awakened by the smell. Dad, what delicious food are you making?"

"Roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose. Aren't you and Xiao Zheng going back to work soon? Make a few for you to take back to eat.

You don’t have to worry about the vacuum-packed food going bad in hot weather. You can just take it out and heat it up when you get home. The same goes for lotus leaf cakes, just steam them.

This is the dipping sauce. I won't prepare the shredded green onion and cucumber for you. You can go to the supermarket and buy them and cut them yourself." Yang Yukun cut the roasted chicken, roasted duck and roasted goose prepared for the eldest girl into pieces and vacuum-packed them one by one.

Keep five for breakfast later, and pack the rest for the eldest girl to take away.

"Thank you dad."

"Are you so moved that you're about to cry?"

"No." Yang Xu turned her head and wiped her eyes. She stopped crying: "Dad, I'll help you prepare breakfast."

"Okay, you cook, and dad will help you."

Yang Yukun gave the position of head chef to the eldest girl, and he was responsible for assisting the girl.

Xu Jingping went to get a suitcase and put the vacuum-packed roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose and other things in it so that the eldest girl could just carry them with her when she left.

…………

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, Pingping, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, we are leaving."

"Let's go. Remember to call us to let us know you're safe when you get to Chang'an."

"I'll call you as soon as I get off the plane."

"Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Kun, aunt, we have to leave too."

"Come to my house and play again when you have time."

"it is good."

"Comrade Yang Ping, you and your sister-in-law should enjoy your honeymoon. We will return to the army first."

"During the time I'm away from the army, you can't slack off in your training."

"clear."

"Also, I reported to my superiors this morning that I have submitted your names to the military-civilian matchmaking event organized by the brigade. You must not cause any trouble for me when the time comes."

"Yes."

"Let's go, we'll see you in the army later."

"okay."

"Uncle, Uncle Wang, Uncle Taozi, thank you for your help."

After breakfast, several of Yang Ping’s comrades and classmates were about to leave.

Yang Xu and Zheng Zhenbang also had to go to the airport to catch the flight back to Chang'an, so it was just right for him to go to the airport with them.

Han Chunming, Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao drove Yang Xu and his party to the airport.

"Brother Kun, sister-in-law, I should leave too, otherwise I won't be home before dark."

"Be safe on the road and call me when you get home."

"it is good."

"Remember to bring your partner back when you come back for National Day. If you come back alone, don't blame me for spanking you."

"I will definitely bring it back."

After saying goodbye to Yang Yukun and others, Qiu Tianci started the car and drove out of the alley, setting off to return to Longjiang in Northeast China.

It's more than 1,200 kilometers. It's seven o'clock in the morning now. If there are no accidents on the road, I will be home before eight o'clock in the evening.

"Dad, Mom, Chushi and I will go back to Huafengyuan first."

Yang Ping and Mao Luzhu returned to their home in Huafengyuan Community.

This time when he came back to hold his wedding, the army approved him 20 days of leave, and he could stay at home for half a month.

Yang Ping didn't know when he would come back next time, but he had to take advantage of this half month to spend some time with his baby. He had agreed to invite relatives and friends to his home to celebrate his baby's full moon after ten months.

At 11:30 am, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping received a call from Dayatou, saying that they had arrived safely in Chang'an City.

In the evening, Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, son and daughter-in-law went to the future son-in-law's house for dinner.

Yang Yukun prepared two jars of good wine for Zheng Jianhua, his relative, and the two of them had a few drinks.

…………

The godson and his friends returned to the Five Seas Port in the Great Mao Kingdom. Natasha and the others went back with him on his private plane.

After playing in the capital for a week, Ding Baosong and his group left and returned home. The brothers and sisters agreed to get together again on National Day.

My eldest sister and her husband and my second sister and her husband and their families also returned to Guangzhou and Shanghai respectively.

Life returned to its previous track.

Yang Ping's honeymoon leave is over and he is about to return to the army.

"Pingping, let me go with you to the Western Regions with the army." Mao Luzhu was very reluctant to let Yang Ping leave, she didn't want to be separated from Yang Ping.

"Wife, haven't we agreed that I will call or write to you when I have time?"

Yang Ping was also reluctant to part with Mao Luzhu, but he was a soldier.

If he was serving in a place where the conditions were not so difficult, Mao Luzhu would definitely not refuse if he wanted to follow the army to work in the place where he was serving.

But the conditions where he served were rather harsh, with wind, sun, rain, and snow, and he was reluctant to let Mao Luzhu follow him to the Western Regions. (End of this chapter)
