Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Mengmeng, Lanlan, Chengjing, Xiaxia, Minmin."

"Little Zongzi sister."

"Cousin."

"Miss."

"Auntie."

Han Mengsu, Fan Yonglan, Ming Chengjing, Li Xia, and Liu Min were making balloons. When they saw Yang Xu coming over, they greeted him one after another.

Han Mengsu said: "Little Zongzi sister, guess who this is?"

Yang Xu smiled and said, "Hello, auntie."

"Hello, little Zongzi." Chen Lijun had never seen Yang Xu before, but she had already guessed Yang Xu's identity.

"Sister Xiao Zongzi, how did you guess my aunt's identity?"

"I can tell the future, believe it or not."

"I do not believe."

"It's easy to guess. Aunt is the only person in this courtyard that I don't know. Uncle Fubao is back too. Isn't it easy to guess Aunt's identity?"

"It seems so."

"Aunt, when did you and my uncle Fubao come back?"

"We just arrived a while ago."

"Did you drive back by yourself?"

"We didn't drive. It was too far to come back from Longjiang, so we took a plane back."

Two months ago, Qiu Tianci returned to the capital to attend a wedding. He drove for more than ten hours to get back, and drove another ten hours on the way back.

After arriving home, he said he was too tired from driving for a long time and his back and waist ached.

This time when returning to the capital, Qiu Tianci said he would not drive no matter what. The two of them flew back from Heilongjiang Province and arrived just an hour ago.

"Lanlan, are you coming back alone again this time? Your lover didn't come back with you?"

"I'll come back first. He has a half-day shift tomorrow and will fly over after get off work at noon."

"You came back today too?"

"I came back the day before yesterday."

After arranging the company's affairs, Fan Yonglan drove back to her parents' home the day before yesterday afternoon.

Her husband Zhang Chengdong will also come, but not until tomorrow at noon.

Zhang Chengdong has to work half a day tomorrow morning, so he bought a flight ticket from the island city of Qilu Province to the imperial capital at noon tomorrow.

After chatting with Han Mengsu and others for a while, Yang Xu went to chat with other brothers, sisters and friends.

"sister."

"On the tenth day, you are back."

"came back."

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Mao Luzhu returned home from school.

"Let me take a good look at you. You are thinner than before. Do you miss Ping Ping?"

"I didn't lose weight. I gained two kilograms."

"Pingping called me yesterday morning and said he couldn't come back."

"He told me."

Yang Ping also called her yesterday and said that he couldn’t get back from the army because his elder sister and brother-in-law were getting married.

Two months ago, she married Yang Ping, and the army approved her for 20 days of leave. Naturally, she couldn't ask for leave to come back this time because her elder sister was getting married.

Mao Luzhu missed Yang Ping very much.

But she understood Yang Ping.

"I brought you a gift from Chang'an." Yang Xu pulled Mao Luzhu into the house.

When she came back from Chang'an this time, she bought a lot of gifts for Mao Luzhu.

…………

"Lao Ao got off the plane and is heading this way."

"Brother Jian, tell Lao Ao to go directly to the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant."

"Okay, I'll tell him."

Yang Huajian sent a message to Ao Feng, asking him to go directly to the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant for dinner after arriving in Sijiu City.

"It's almost time, everyone go over and get ready for dinner."

Yang Yukun invited relatives, friends, and neighbors to move to the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant.

The dinner starts at 3:30, so it’s almost time. It’s a good time to go now.

"Time to eat."

"Walk."

"The car is waiting at the entrance of the alley. There are cars that can take you there, or you can drive there yourself."

"Don't drive if you're drunk."

"Let's go, let's eat."

In order to facilitate travel between home and the hotel, Yang Yukun arranged more than 20 buses to pick up and drop off guests.

Although it is not far from home to Zhiweilou Restaurant Wangfujing Branch, it is still about three kilometers away, and it takes thirty to forty minutes to walk there. "Let's go there too." After all the relatives, friends, neighbors and neighbors had gone there, Yang Yukun and his group also went out and rushed to Zhiweilou Restaurant Wangfujing Branch.

There are relatively few guests today, mostly neighbors. There will be two more tables in the afternoon than at noon, so a total of sixty-five tables have been arranged.

There will be a banquet tomorrow and even more people will come, so we have prepared more than 500 tables.

"Lao Ao's car."

"Lao Ao is here."

"Junwei is here too."

Everyone else had taken their seats, while Yang Yukun, Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, and Mao Ditu were waiting for Ao Feng at the door.

The car stopped.

Ao Feng and his son Ao Junwei got out of the car.

"Uncle Yang, Uncle Mao, Uncle Han, Uncle Kun." Ao Junwei trotted over to Yang Yukun and the others.

"Junwei, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"It's my nephew's fault. I should have come to see you uncles a long time ago. I hope you uncles will forgive me."

"You boy, this wine red suit is quite sexy. How many girls have you hooked up with wearing it?"

"Uncle Mao, you are wronging me. I don't even have a girlfriend, let alone harming a girl."

"Learn more from your father and ask him to teach you a few more tricks. Your father is known as a beauty hunter in Hong Kong Island. You must not let your father's reputation down."

"What kind of beauty hunter is this? That's all nonsense from the unscrupulous media in Hong Kong." Ao Feng said, "Director Yang, I should have come to Pingping's wedding. I really couldn't get away at that time."

"It's okay. We have been friends for many years. We all understand."

My son and daughter-in-law got married two months ago. Ao Feng was in Milijian at the time and couldn't make it back.

Ao Feng called him and explained the situation, but Yang Yukun did not blame Ao Feng for this.

We have been friends for decades and know each other very well.

If Ao Feng could come, he would come even if he was at the ends of the earth.

I really can't come, there's nothing I can do about it.

"Come on, let's go in."

"Lao Ao, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, we should have a few drinks."

"I will risk my life to accompany a gentleman, and I will not return until I am drunk."

Several people came to the empty table in the banquet hall and sat down. The dishes had been served one after another and the guests had already started eating.

"Junwei, can I drink?"

"Uncle Mao, I can't drink much. I can only drink one pound at most."

"Pour the wine."

"okay."

After sitting down, Ao Junwei, as the younger generation, was responsible for pouring wine for his father and several uncles.

The wine was filled, and the brothers drank a glass first to moisten their throats.

"Junwei, pick up some food for yourself."

"Okay Uncle Kun."

After two glasses of wine, Ao Feng said, "Boss Yang, Boss Mao, Boss Han, Boss Yang, would you like to reconsider Junwei taking over as the chairman of the Five Star Group?"

Ao Feng had previously told Yang Yukun and the others that he was planning to retire. After all, he was already 65 years old this year, and it was time for him to retire and enjoy his later years.

He listed several capable candidates who were more suitable to take over his position.

The reason why he didn't put his son among these people was not to avoid suspicion, but also because he felt that the boy still lacked a bit of stability and needed to be tempered for a few more years.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yukun and others unanimously agreed that this guy was the best candidate to succeed him, and unanimously nominated him as the new chairman of the Five Star Group.

Yang Huajian said: "Lao Ao, you have no confidence in Junwei and think he is incapable of leading the Five Star Group to move forward?"

"No." Ao Feng shook his head.

It’s not that he has no confidence in his son’s abilities. On the contrary, this kid’s talent and sense of smell are no worse than his.

What he was worried about was that this kid was too restless and had too strong a desire to explore.

The current Five Star Group has already completed its business layout. It may not be a good thing for a successor who is too restless to serve as the new helmsman.

"Lao Ao, we all know what you are worried about. We believe in Junwei."

Yang Yukun and others understood Ao Feng's concerns. Ao Feng believed that the Five Star Group had now entered a stable phase and needed a stable helmsman.

He believes that Ao Junwei is young and lacks stability, and if he were to take the helm of the Five Star Group, it might lead the Five Star Group off course.

But after comparing the people far away from Ao Feng, Yang Yukun, Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu all agreed that Ao Junwei was the most suitable person to take the helm of the Five Star Group.

"Lao Ao, Junwei is your biological son, you have to trust him." Yang Yukun said, "Boy, just go for it, we all believe that you can lead the Five Star Group to a higher level."

"Dad, Uncle Yang, Uncle Mao, Uncle Han, Uncle Kun, I will never let you down. The Five Star Group will never decline in my hands."

Ao Junwei was deeply touched by the support from his uncles and their trust.

"Lao Ao, don't worry. We trust this guy. Let's drink."

"The cups are empty, fill them up."

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the banquet ended and the group returned to Qianmenlouzi Hutong.

Those who play cards play cards, and those who chat chat. (End of this chapter)
