Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 465 Classmates Reunion
September 24, [-], the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month in the Year of the Ox.

Had breakfast.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the rice dumplings and asked Peng Tao to get in the car and go straight to Imperial Normal University.

Today, my classmates in Imperial City have made an appointment to get together and meet at the gate of their alma mater at eight o'clock in the morning.

Peng Tao came here last night. Hehua took the child back to her parents' home to see her grandparents. She didn't come with him this time.

"It's Lao Wang and the others."

Peng Tao, the co-pilot, pointed at the people at the school gate and said.

"Teacher Peng, can you still recognize these classmates?"

"Of course, those are Xu Haoran, Wang Liangang, Yao Yulan, Zhou Xiafang, and Cheng Zhongguo."

It has only been a few years since graduation. Although everyone has changed a lot compared to before in school, the appearance has not changed much.

Although Peng Tao was introverted and didn't talk much at first, he didn't seem to have any connections with his classmates. Some classmates might not have a deep impression of him, but he knew every student in the class.

"It's Xiaokun and Jingping who are here."

At the entrance of Imperial Normal University.

When he saw the Mercedes-Benz W126 approaching, Wang Aiguo knew that Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping had arrived.

"Classmates Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping are so well hidden. I didn't even think that Zhiweilou Restaurant is their property."

"I remember when we were still in college, there was Zhiweilou Restaurant, right?"

"Yes, the first store of Zhiweilou Restaurant was opened when we were still in college. It was on Qianmen Street. Zhiweilou Restaurant was very famous at that time. My friend really wanted to try Zhiweilou Restaurant. What does Tan’s food taste like, but I’m short of money.”

"If I had known that Zhiweilou Restaurant was run by Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping, I would have had the shamelessness to go and have a meal."

"Don't say you don't know. I have lived in the same dormitory with Xiao Kun for four years. I am like a real brother. It was only after graduation that I found out that he owns Zhiweilou Restaurant."

"Zhiweilou Restaurant is very popular now. It is the most famous hotel in Sijiu City. It is more famous than Diaoyutai and Imperial Hotel. I heard that they have all opened in other places."

"There is a Zhiweilou restaurant in Yuzhang, Jiangyou Province, my hometown. I have eaten at Zhiweilou restaurant in Yuzhang several times, and the taste is really good."

"When Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping refused the good jobs assigned to them by the government, many classmates said that they had brain problems and would regret it sooner or later. Now everyone is driving imported cars, and they still ride bicycles to and from get off work."

"Lao Cheng, what do you mean, do you also plan to follow the trend of the times and take a leave of absence without pay to go into business?"

"Brother, I'm just sighing. I don't have the talent to do business. I'd better do my job honestly. I quite like my current job."

While Wang Aiguo and others were chatting, Yang Yukun parked the car in front of them.

"Lao Wang, classmate Yao Yulan, classmate Zhou Xiafang, classmate Xu Haoran, classmate Wang Liangang, classmate Cheng Zhongguo."

"Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping, Peng Tao!"

"This little guy is your child. How old is he?"

"More than two months."

"It's so cute. What's your name?"

"My nickname is Yang Xu, my nickname is Xiao Zongzi. I was born on the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Let me hug."

Zhou Xiafang took the little rice dumpling from Xu Jingping's hand. This little girl was so cute. It made her want to have such a beautiful little girl.

"Classmate Yang Yukun and classmate Xu Jingping, congratulations to you."

Everyone in the class knew that Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping were childhood sweethearts who had been dating since childhood. Unexpectedly, when they met again, the two youngest classmates in the class were already parents.

"Thank you, where are classmates Hao Aiguo and Zheng Jianguo? They haven't arrived yet?"

Yang Yukun took a glance and found that among the ten classmates who stayed in the imperial capital to work after graduating from college, it seemed that Hao Aiguo and Zheng Jianguo were still here.Wang Aiguo said: "I called them yesterday afternoon to confirm, and they are sure to come. It's still half an hour before eight o'clock. Let's wait a little longer, and they will arrive soon."

"Come on guys, let's smoke."

Yang Yukun took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to Wang Aiguo and others. In addition to him and Peng Tao, Wang Aiguo, Xu Haoran, Wang Liangang, and Cheng Zhongguo all smoked.

There were still two classmates who hadn't arrived, so the group squatted at the school gate chatting.

After graduating from college, Xu Haoran's job was assigned back to Pinggu, and he is currently working in a public unit in the county.

Wang Liangang was from Qiangui, and after graduating from university, he was assigned to the Imperial Daily.

Cheng Zhongguo is also from the Imperial Capital, from Huairou. After graduation, he went to the Imperial Publishing House and was transferred to the Xiaguo Youth Daily some time ago.

Zhou Xiafang's hometown is in Mentougou. After graduating from college, she was assigned to a public unit in Changping.

"Brothers, do you think that is classmate Zheng Jianguo?"

"Yes, it's Zheng Jianguo."

"Brother, my eyes seem a bit out of control now. I'll have to get a pair of glasses later."

Yang Yukun smiled and said: "Okay, Lao Cheng, he has become nearsighted in order to do a good job. He deserves praise."

"It would be great if the work was done well, but the problem is that the work is not very good."

Cheng Zhongguo considers himself to be quite dedicated in his work, otherwise the organization would not have transferred him to Xia Guo Youth Daily as the deputy director.

However, his short-sightedness really has nothing to do with his normal work.

He likes reading and writing, and he also writes some things part-time. He has published poems, short stories, and essays in newspapers and magazines, and has published a novel with good sales.

His eyes were usually damaged when he stayed up late to write after work.

However, no one in the class knew about his part-time writing, and he never told anyone else, except his wife.

"I'm sorry, classmates, I'm late. I apologize to everyone."

"Teacher Zheng, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yang Yukun said: "Teacher Zheng, do you still know us?"

"Of course we know each other. You and classmate Xu Jingping are popular figures in our class, not to mention classmate Wang Aiguo. We just met two days ago. This is classmate Yao Yulan..."

"Teacher Zheng has a good memory. Come on, smoke."

Yang Yukun took out a cigarette and gave it to Zheng Jianguo, and gave another cigarette to Wang Aiguo and others.

Zheng Jianguo was from Zhucheng, Anhui Province. After graduating from college, he was assigned to Yangzhen No. [-] Middle School in Shunyi. In the first half of the year, he was transferred to Shunyi No. [-] Middle School.

Wang Aiguo said: "Students, Hao Aiguo is also here."

"It's really classmate Hao Aiguo."

Yang Yukun and his group looked in the direction of Wang Aiguo's finger. The person riding his bicycle was none other than Hao Aiguo, another classmate of their party today.

"Sorry, classmates, I'm late."

"You're not late, it's still a quarter of an hour before eight o'clock."

"Lao Cheng just said that he needs glasses when his eyes are no longer in good condition. Why did you put them on first, Lao Hao?"

Yang Yukun remembered that Hao Aiguo didn't wear glasses when he was in college, but he didn't expect that he would wear glasses now.

Look at the thickness of this lens, it must be at least three or four hundred degrees.
