Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 42 The Ghost Market Opens

After leaving Grandpa Pian'er's house, Yang Yukun went to Xu Jingping's house again.

When he came over, Xu Jingping's family of five were having dinner.

"Second brother-in-law, sit here, and I'll get you the dishes."

Xu Jingtian ran to bring Yang Yukun a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

I had almost eaten at Pianerye's place, so Yang Yukun ate some dishes and had a couple of drinks with the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Xu Jingping said, "Yang Yukun, shall we go to the movies later?"

"Okay."

Xu Jingtian said, "Second sister, second brother-in-law, I will go too."

"Student Xu Jingtian, just stay at home obediently."

"Second Sister, just take me with you, I want to watch a movie too."

"Second sister will take you to Quanjude to eat roast duck tomorrow."

"Really? Second sister, can you not lie to me?"

"When did Second Sister lie to you?"

"Pull the hook."

"Hanging on the hook, it is not allowed to change for 100 years, that's fine."

Xu Jingping didn't want to bring Xu Jingtian with him when he went to the cinema to watch a movie.

In order to stabilize the little girl, Xu Jingping could only agree to invite her to eat roast duck at a restaurant in Quanjude tomorrow.

Then, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping went straight to the cinema to watch a scene in the South China Sea.

"By the way, Yang Yukun, this time you went to the countryside with Brother Fifth to look for old things. After going for so long, did you find any good things?"

"There must be. Otherwise, buddies wouldn't go there for half a month. Do you want to see it?"

"think."

"Let's go, I'll take you home to see the old things that my buddy bought back this time."

"It's too late now, let's go tomorrow. I'll go to your house to find you early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll take you home first."

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when I came out of the cinema after watching a movie.

Yang Yukun sent Xu Jingping home first, and then returned to his own home.

"Little Fifth Brother, haven't you slept yet?"

"Xiao Kun is back, come and enjoy the fire, let me tell you, buddy has learned to drive."

"Learn it in one afternoon?"

"That's right, my buddy is a legendary genius. Lao Yang said to let him practice for a while, and he will arrange for him to take the exam after the year. Xiaokun, will you go to learn how to drive with me tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow morning, I'll go find you in the afternoon."

Yang Yukun had already made an appointment with Xu Jingping to show her the old things he bought back from the shopping tomorrow, so he didn't have time to learn how to drive with Han Chunming in the morning.

After staying at Han Chunming's house for a while, Yang Yukun went back to his own house next door.

At around eight o'clock the next morning, Xu Jingping came to look for Yang Yukun.

"Yang Yukun, is this the treasure you bought back after going to the countryside for so long?"

"Yes, this is a pair of Qing Yongzheng imitation Chenghua blue-and-white lotus-topped Sanskrit Yongzheng lying-zu cups. This one is even more extraordinary, a Geyao pierced ear vase in the Southern Song Dynasty."

"After half a month, did you find these three things?"

"Of course it's not just these three items. The other items don't have much collection value. Let me sell them to Brother Fifth."

Yang Yukun didn't show Xu Jingping all the old things he had recovered from the scouring, but showed her the pair of Qing Yongzheng imitation Chenghua blue and white lotus cups with Sanskrit Yongzheng Lying Zuzu Cups and the Southern Song Geyao pierced ear vase.

Xu Jingping glanced at the pierced ear vase and said, "This bottle is not good-looking, not as good-looking as the sunflower glazed Ru kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty that you found earlier."

"Ok."

Xu Jingping was really right about this.

Yang Yukun also admitted that in terms of the first impression, the Ru kiln sky blue glazed sunflower wash is indeed more eye-catching than this pierced ear vase.

"Yang Yukun, let's go outside for a stroll."

"Where to go shopping, how about skating in Beihai Park?"

"Don't go."

There was a group fight when skating in Beihai Park before, and she never went to Beihai Park to play since then.

Not to mention skating in Beihai Park, she doesn't want to go to other ice rinks in the imperial capital now, for fear of encountering the same thing before.

"Then where do you want to go?"

"Didn't you promise Jingtian to take her to a restaurant in Quanjude yesterday? Let's go to Quanjude to eat roast duck."

"your treat?"

"Of course it's my treat. Don't worry, little Kunzi. I have money, so I won't ask you to pay."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go."

Yang Yukun took the things back to the planting space with him, and went to Quanjude with the two sisters Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian.

After eating and drinking enough, Yang Yukun sent Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian home first, and then went to the place where Yang Huajian taught Han Chunming how to practice driving.

…………

"My hands are sore, I'll rest for a while, Xiaokun, come and try."

Han Chunming jumped out of the car, shook his sore hands, and asked Yang Yukun to get in the car for a try.

"Got it."

Yang Yukun sat in the cab and operated step by step according to Yang Huajian's instructions.

The old Jiefang has no synchronizer, no steering assistance, and the operation is complicated and laborious.

To change gears, you need to step on the clutch with both feet, once when the gear is removed, and once again when the gear is engaged.

With the blessing of driving experience in his previous life, Yang Yukun will not be troubled by these.

Soon he found out the temper of this old Jiefang, and drove it in a decent manner, even more old than the old driver.

"Xiaokun, it's ok, I learned it so quickly, it's better than mine."

Even Yang Huajian, an old driver, was amazed by how quickly Yang Yukun learned to drive.

If it wasn't for this kid sitting next to him and operating step by step according to what he taught, he would never believe that this kid is really touching a car for the first time, and it is even smoother than him, an old driver who has been driving for several years.

"Brother Jian, you taught well. As the saying goes, a famous teacher produces a good apprentice."

"You don't need to study anymore, but Chunming has to practice hard, and my buddies will arrange for you to take the exam in the next year."

"Thank you, Brother Jian."

"You're all buddies, you're welcome, Chunming, have you rested yet, continue to practice."

With Yang Yukun's silky-smooth driving skills, Yang Huajian felt that there was no need for him to continue practicing.

Go back and study the traffic rules and mechanical knowledge carefully, and after a few years, he will arrange for Han Chunming and Yang Yukun to take the exam through his relationship.

"Xiaokun, you can do it, kid. I thought I learned fast enough, but I didn't expect you to learn faster than me."

"Little Fifth Brother, come on, practice hard, I believe that one day you can be as smooth as me."

"Don't worry, my buddy's driving skills will definitely be better than yours in the future."

Han Chunming sat in the driver's cab and continued to practice the car. After a day, his hands were sore.

For two days in a row, Yang Huajian taught Han Chunming how to practice the car, and Yang Yukun followed him when he was free. When Han Chunming was tired from training, he also drove the old Jiefang for two laps.

Until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After half a day of driving practice in the morning, Yang Yukun and Han Chunming went home and slept for a long time at noon.

Tonight they plan to go to the ghost market over the Huguo Temple, and they have to recharge their heads so that they don't lose their chains in time.

After filling their stomachs, Yang Yukun and Han Chunming first went to Yanzhi Hutong to meet the master, and then the three of them went to Huguo Temple together. At nine o'clock in the evening, the ghost market officially opened.
