Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Fourth sister."

"Jingtian."

"What about people?"

"Who is it, Jingtian, what are you looking for?"

"Your partner, didn't the third sister and third brother-in-law ask you to bring your partner back to them this weekend? Why didn't you bring him?"

After school, Xu Jingtian waited for He Lixia at his usual place.

But he only saw He Lixia alone and did not see her partner.

"He'll be there early tomorrow morning."

"What's going on? Didn't we agree to go back together after school today? Why did he change his mind? Isn't he a coward?"

"Jingtian, you are not allowed to say that to him. He is not a coward, it is because he still has unfinished business and he really doesn't have time today."

"Fourth sister, you started to protect him before he even made a fortune. Be careful that he lets you go tomorrow."

"Don't worry, he will never let me go. I believe him. He said it will pass tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go home. I really miss the big meal cooked by the third brother-in-law. I wonder what delicious food the third brother-in-law will make for us today."

"Where are Qingyu and the others?"

"They are going back first. Come on, Fourth Sister, the car is here."

Xu Jingtian and He Lixia got on the car back to Qianmen Building. When they arrived at the station, they got off the car and went straight to the third brother-in-law's house.

"Fourth sister, can you smell it? It smells so good. It's the smell of roasted lamb."

"Smell it."

"Roasted whole lamb, it tastes like roasted whole lamb. Third brother-in-law must have made roasted whole lamb for us."

Smelling the smell of roasted lamb, Xu Jingtian and He Lixia quickly ran into the courtyard hand in hand, and immediately saw the golden and attractive roasted whole lamb on the grill.

“What a roasted whole lamb!”

"Jingtian, Lixia, we are back, we are waiting for you."

"Brother Patriot, Sister Xiaoli, Brother Taozi, and Sister Hehua, you are also here."

"Fourth sister and fifth sister, you are finally back. I am almost starving waiting for you."

"You're just greedy."

"whee……."

"Wow woof woof..."

"Haha... Black Panther, long time no see."

"Aunt Jingtian, Aunt Lixia."

"Youzhi, Xiaoheng, you two are here too. I haven't seen you two little guys for a long time. Do you miss Aunt Jingtian?"

"think."

"So nice."

"Yeah..."

"Little Zongzi, the fifth aunt is back. Let the fifth aunt hug you quickly. After not seeing you for a week, this little girl has become a lot heavier. The fifth aunt can hardly hold you anymore."

"Giggle..."

"You are smiling so happily. I haven't seen my fifth aunt for a long time. That's why I am so happy to see my fifth aunt."

"Giggle..."

"Jingtian, let me hug you."

"Let your fourth aunt hold you, and your fifth aunt will play with you later and tell you stories."

Xu Jingtian handed the little rice dumpling to He Lixia and gently scratched the tip of the little girl's nose, making the little girl giggle.

"What about people?"

Yang Yukun looked at the door and found that except for the two girls Xu Jingtian and He Lixia, there seemed to be no one else.

Could it be that he was too shy, hiding at the door and not daring to come in?
  Xu Jingping said: "Could it be that you didn't bring it back?"

Su Xiaoli asked doubtfully: "Xiaokun, Jingping, what are you two talking about? What didn't you bring back?"

Hehua said: "Yes, what do you mean?"

Xu Jingping explained: "Lixia said that she should bring her partner back after school this weekend."

Wang Aiguo said: "Is this girl Lixia in love?"

"Yes." Yang Yukun said, "Lixia, just come back by yourself. Where is your partner?" He Lixia explained: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, he will come over tomorrow morning."

"That's it, okay, let's have dinner."

Both of them thought that He Lixia would bring her partner here today. Xu Jingping also asked Yang Yukun to have a nice attitude towards the person after meeting him for a while, and not to scare the young man.

Unexpectedly, He Lixia did not bring the person back, and the young man will not come until tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow will be tomorrow, as long as tomorrow doesn't mean the day after tomorrow.

"Come on, Lao Wang, help me."

The roasted whole lamb was already roasted, and Yang Yukun asked Wang Aiguo to help carry the roasted whole lamb to the restaurant.

It's cold in the yard, with the north wind blowing, and there's a stove in the restaurant to keep it warm.

"Come to Youzhi, I'll give you this piece first."

"Thank you, Uncle Kun."

"Daughter-in-law, here you go..."

Yang Yukun picked up the knife and cut the roasted whole lamb for everyone, cutting a large piece for each person first.

"Lao Wang, Teacher Peng, we three brothers haven't gotten together for a while, let's have a drink first."

What I drank today was Jieyuhua. The wine was already warm. Yang Yukun filled the glasses for Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao.

Xu Jingtian said: "Third brother-in-law, I want to drink too."

"Go get the punch bowl yourself."

He Lixia said: "Jingtian, get me a wine bowl too."

"okay."

Xu Jingtian ran to get two wine bowls, picked up the wine spoon and scooped out a bowl of Jieyuhua yellow wine for herself and He Lixia.

Xu Jingping greeted Su Xiaoli and He Hua to eat vegetables.

After eating, Xu Jingping and others went to the living room of the main room, leaving Yang Yukun, Wang Aiguo, and Peng Tao to continue drinking.

The three of them continued drinking for more than an hour, but none of them got drunk. They basically spent more than an hour chatting.

"Xiao Kun, Teacher Peng, this mutton leg guy is packed up and taken away."

"Take it away."

A large roasted whole lamb had one hind leg left untouched. Yang Yukun went to find some newspapers and wrapped the leg of lamb for Wang Aiguo.

"Xiao Kun, Teacher Peng, it's getting late, brothers, please leave first."

"Old Wang, don't drive in this state. I'm worried about you driving into a ditch."

"I won't drive, let Xiaoli drive."

"Okay, let's go back."

"Xiao Li, Youzhi, it's getting late, let's go home."

Wang Aiguo went to call his wife and children, and the family of three returned to Xinjiekou.

Peng Tao helped Yang Yukun clean up. After cleaning up the kitchen and dining room, the two of them went to the main living room.

Xu Jingping has already made the bed in the east wing. Peng Tao and Hehua's family of three will sleep here tonight. There will be no classes tomorrow and Sunday, so there is no need to rush back overnight.

"It's getting late, stop playing and go back to rest."

Xu Jingtian, He Lixia, and He Xiaoxia almost lost track of time while playing with the two little guys, Xiao Zongzi and Peng Yiheng.

Xu Jingping saw that it was almost ten o'clock, and reminded Xu Jingtian, He Lixia, and He Xiaoxia that it was time to go back and rest, and they couldn't just play like crazy just because they wouldn't go to school tomorrow weekend.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, let's go to Sister Hou's place to eat fried noodles tomorrow morning. It's been a long time since I've had fried noodles from Sister Hou's place."

"Okay, I'll take you to Sister Hou's place to eat fried noodles tomorrow morning."

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, let's go back first. Brother Taozi, sister Hehua, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"Black Panther, let's go."

Xu Jingtian, He Lixia, and He Xiaoxia took Black Panther back to their courtyard.

After the three people left, Peng Tao and He Hua also took their children back to the room first.

Yang Yukun closed the door, then closed the door of the main living room, and returned to the bedroom with Xu Jingping and Xiao Zongzi.

Xiao Zongzi had been playing with Xu Jingtian and the others for several hours and had already exhausted her energy. As soon as Yang Yukun put the girl in the crib, the little girl fell asleep, almost instantly. (End of chapter)
