Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 409 Cai Xiaoli is back
"Xiao Kun."

"Brother Xiao Wu, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"

"I can't sleep. Do you want to eat the roasted sweet potato? It's just roasted."

"What's wrong, insomnia?"

As soon as Yang Yukun returned to the courtyard, he was stopped by Han Chunming, who had not rested at home to warm himself by the fire.

Lifting the door curtain, Yang Yukun walked into Han Chunming's house and took a freshly roasted sweet potato from the stove.

He only drank wine and ate some vegetables without rice at Pian'erye's place. He was really hungry now.

"That's not true. My sleep quality is very good, but I'm not drowsy now."

"Anything on your mind?"

"No, bro, what's on your mind?"

"It has something to do with Sister Su Meng. You two are getting back together. When are you going to have a drink?"

"Can you please stop making fun of me and her every time?"

"Why can't you sleep?"

"Cai Xiaoli is back."

"I understand, they are already married, why are you still thinking about them?"

"Of course not. I just think she has changed a lot compared to before. I almost didn't recognize her."

This afternoon.

Han Chunming stopped by the department store to buy something, but he never expected to run into Cai Xiaoli, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He didn't notice Cai Xiaoli at first. Cai Xiaoli saw him first and came over and patted him on the shoulder.

He turned around and saw Cai Xiaoli smiling at him from behind, looking a little dazed.

Today, Cai Xiaoli's appearance has changed drastically compared to before, and she has become a fashionably dressed seafood restaurant proprietress.

In the evening at Zaihui Lou Restaurant Wangfujing, Han Chunming invited her to dinner to reminisce about old times, and both of them laughed in unison when they talked about what happened in the past.

end of May.

Han Chunming learned that Cai Xiaoli went south to Nanyue. Later, Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu met Cai Xiaoli in Coconut City, Nanyue. By that time, she had become the proprietress of a seafood restaurant in Coconut City.

Unexpectedly, after so long, the two of them could still meet in the imperial capital.

This time Cai Xiaoli came back from Yecheng to take her parents to Yecheng. From now on, her parents will stay with her in Yecheng, and they will probably never come back to their hometown in the imperial capital.

After dinner, at Cai Xiaoli's request, Han Chunming invited her to watch a movie before sending her home.

"If you two hadn't had a falling out, you would both be married now."

Yang Yukun sighed.

Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli had even decided on their wedding day and planned to hold their wedding on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.

At that time, both of them planned to go to the relevant authorities to obtain the certificate first, but Su Meng's father fell ill and needed a large sum of money for surgery. Han Chunming advanced 3 yuan for Su Meng's father without consulting Cai Xiaoli. surgery fee.

Coupled with the villain Cheng Jianjun's interference, the two people who were about to receive the certificate just broke up.

If Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli had not had a falling out, they would have drunk the wedding wine of these two people as early as two months ago.

"Let's not talk about what happened in the past. Cai Xiaoli will invite us all to dinner at Jubanxian tomorrow night, and let you and Jingping go."

"Invite us to dinner?"

"Yes, not only you and Jingping are invited, but also Lao Yang, Tu, Xiao Xing, Tao Zi, and even Su Meng."

Cai Xiaoli would leave for Yecheng early the morning after tomorrow, saying that before leaving, she would treat these friends to a meal and catch up on old times.

Yang Yukun nodded: "Okay, Jingping and I will definitely arrive on time tomorrow afternoon."

"By the way, Lao Yang invites us to have breakfast at Sister Hou's place tomorrow morning. We will meet at the No. 06 Zhajiang Noodle House in the old Imperial Capital at 30:[-]."

"Come on, it's getting late, go home and go to bed."

After chatting with Han Chunming for a long time, it was almost 10:30 in the evening. Yang Yukun took another roasted sweet potato from the stove, got up, went back to his house next door, and entered the portable planting space.

…………

It was past six o'clock in the morning.

Yang Huajian was treating the four of his buddies to dinner at the No. [-] Zhajiang Noodle House in the old imperial capital.Yang Yukun originally planned to call Xu Jingping up, but it was early and cold, so she didn't come because she didn't want to go out. She was still lying in bed and sleeping in.

"Here comes the noodles, Xiao Kun, Xiao Wu, Xiao Yang, Map, please eat slowly."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Hou."

"You come to take care of our business. Old Liu and I should thank you. Eat slowly and call me if you need anything."

"Okay, Sister Hou, you are busy with your business and don't worry about us."

"I haven't eaten for a few days, but the fried noodles cooked by Sister Hou and my brother-in-law are authentic and better than those made by my mother."

"Auntie, if I hear you say that, I'll have to whip you."

"Come on, brothers are becoming less and less popular in this family anyway. It doesn't matter if the old man and my mother don't want to see me, but the old man doesn't want to see me anymore either."

"If you bring them a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, your status in the family will be lower than that of the myna raised by your old man."

Thinking of the scene where he went to find Yang Huajian yesterday afternoon, Mao Tutu couldn't help but want to laugh.

That means being scolded while lying down, being scolded while sitting, and being scolded even while being beaten.

He hadn't been to Yang Huajian's house for a few days. He didn't expect that Yang Huajian's status at home had actually declined to such an extent.

Even the myna raised by his grandfather can catch him now.

"Pfft...cough...no, Brother Jian, isn't it?"

"Lao Yang, could it be that your uncle and aunt picked you up from outside?"

Yang Yukun and Han Chunming almost laughed when they heard what Mao Tu told them about Yang Huajian's experience at home.

It's not like they have never been to Yang Huajian's house. Yang's father and mother are both very talkative people, and the old man of the Yang family is also a very kind old man.

What kind of rule did Yang Huajian commit that made his status in the family worse than that of a myna?
Yang Huajian sighed and said, "Brother, now my father is dissatisfied with my mother's hatred and my grandfather's lack of love. Our old Buddha has already issued an order. If I don't bring my partner back before the Chinese New Year, I won't be allowed to enter the house on New Year's Eve."

Yang Yukun said with a smile: "Older singles have no human rights. It is wrong to even breathe at home."

"That's right, I just sat there and didn't provoke anyone. My mother just glared at me with disgust on her face. She couldn't stay at home anymore. Chunming, I will go back to your place to stay for a while."

Mao Tutu said: "Lao Yang, you might as well just accept the blind date arranged by your family."

"We are in this era where free love is important. I have never even met the girl who arranged a blind date at home, so I won't go."

"In a few months, my brothers are going to be fathers. Lao Yang, Chunming, you two have to work hard."

"Look at how slutty you are."

"Brothers are getting married and you don't have a partner yet. Now that bros are going to be fathers and you don't have a partner yet, it's time for you to be arrogant."

"You'll pay for the breakfast later."

"I agreed to treat you, and I won't compete with you. The pickles made by my brother-in-law are really delicious. I'll make some more."

Mao Tutu especially likes to eat the free pickles provided by the No. [-] Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old imperial capital. He feels that they are more delicious than those bought at Liubiju, so he went to order a small plate.

Han Chunming remembered Cai Xiaoli's treat for dinner tonight, and said to Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu: "Old Yang, Tu Tu, we will gather half-immortals at five o'clock in the evening. Cai Xiaoli will treat us to dinner. Let both of you go, and let Xiao Xing go too."

"Who?"

"Chunming, who did you say was inviting us to dinner just now, Cai Xiaoli?"

Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu were stunned when they heard this, thinking they had heard wrongly.

"Yes, Cai Xiaoli has returned to the Imperial Capital. She will return to Yecheng early tomorrow morning. Before she left, she said she would treat us to a meal."

"Why is she back?"

"Take her parents to Coconut City to stay there, and they probably won't come back in the future."

"Chunming, you said it would be great if you two hadn't separated. My brothers all drank the wedding wine."

"Forget about the past, Lao Yang, just pay and let's withdraw."

"Let's go."

Yang Huajian paid the money, and the four of them left from the No. [-] Zhajiang Noodle House in the Old Imperial Capital.

When going out, Xu Jingping said she wanted to eat Duyichu Shaomai, so Yang Yukun stopped by the Duyichu Shaomai restaurant and packed up two kilograms of Shaomai for her to take back.
