Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

After having a banquet at Cheng Jianjun's house and arranging the finishing work, Yang Yukun took the rice dumplings back home.

Just now, an aunt in the alley came over and said that she had a visitor at home and was waiting at the door of his house.

"Bee."

"Grandpa, you are back."

"Why are you here, boy?"

"Let me see you."

"How long have you been here?"

"Just a moment."

"Come inside."

Yang Yukun opened the door and let Yang Feng enter the room.

Yang Feng put down the things and looked at the little zongzi: "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a while. Hello, sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law can speak now."

"is it?"

The little zongzi said: "Hello."

Yang Feng said in surprise: "My sister-in-law is really good at talking. Hello, sister-in-law, I am your great-nephew."

"whee……."

"Grandpa, look at how happy my sister-in-law is smiling."

Yang Yukun poured a cup of hot water for Yang Feng: "Drink some hot water first to warm yourself up."

"Thank you grandpa."

"How have you been at your grandpa's place lately?"

"I have now started to learn ceramic restoration from my uncle."

"That's right, study hard. As for your grandpa's porcelain repair skills, no one else would have the chance to learn them."

"Grandpa, I will study hard and I will never let you down and my great grandpa's expectations."

"Why are you here today?"

"Grandpa, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I have already bought a train ticket back to Jingchu. I will go back to Jingchu tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. I will come back after the New Year."

His great-grandfather and great-grandfather were the people who helped him the most. Before leaving the imperial capital to return to his hometown in Jingchu to celebrate the New Year, Yang Feng came to inform his great-grandfather.

"When will you leave tomorrow?"

"The train is at 6:48 in the morning."

"So early?"

"The earlier you get, the sooner you'll get home."

"Yes. Do you have a lot to bring? Do you need me to take you back?"

"No need, Grandpa, I'll just go to the station by myself."

This time when he returned to his hometown in Jingchu for the New Year, Yang Feng didn't bring much with him. He just bought some food for his parents and younger siblings, so he didn't need to bother his great-grandfather to give it to him.

"Here comes the bee."

After a while, Xu Jingping also returned home with the Black Panther.

"Grandma."

"You sit."

"Mother."

Xu Jingping picked up the little Zongzi and said, "Little Zongzi, come here, let mom hug you."

Yang Yukun said: "Fengzi will go back to Jingchu tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. Come and say goodbye to us."

"Fengzi is going back to Jingchu?"

"Yes, Grandma."

"I haven't been back all year, so I should go back early to see what time the bus will be tomorrow and ask your great-grandfather to take you to the station."

"It's about 6:40 in the morning. I can just go to the station by myself. There's no need to bother Grandpa. It's not too far anyway."

"I'll call my eldest nephew and ask him to come over for a drink in the afternoon."

Yang Yukun picked up the phone and called Jubao Pavilion over at Liulichang and asked Yang Guangcheng to come over for dinner later.

Winter is still suitable for hot pot. Yang Yukun prepared an old goose from the portable planting space and stewed it. In the evening, he simmered the old goose in an iron pot.

"It smells so good." "It smells good. By the way, Fengzi, I heard your uncle said that your family introduced a girl to you. If you go back so early this time, are you going on a blind date?"

In the past, when Yang Feng went back to his hometown in Jingchu to celebrate the New Year, he always went back on the 26th or 7th, but this year it was several days earlier than before.

Only then did Yang Yukun remember that Yang Guangcheng had told him that someone in Yang Feng's family had introduced a girl to him and asked him to go back and see her when he had time.

This kid went back so early this year, and most likely he went back early for a blind date.

"Grandpa, do you know all this?"

Yang Feng didn't expect that Yang Yukun even knew about this. He told his uncle about it.

The family did introduce a girl to him and insisted that he go back and see her.

In fact, he doesn't want to get married yet. After all, he is only twenty years old and has not yet reached the legal age for marriage.

But my parents wanted to have a grandson, so they asked someone to help him in their hometown.

As for success or failure, let’s go home and see first.

If this girl is really good and the two of them can get along, he will listen to his parents and get married.

In their rural hometown, there were not a few people of his age who got married and had children, and not many people cared about the legal age for marriage.

"Your great-grandfather told me. I remember when your great-grandfather first brought you here from your hometown in Jingchu, you were not even seventeen years old. In the blink of an eye, you started dating."

"At that time, I was helping my parents with farm work at home. It was my grandfather who brought me to the imperial capital when he was visiting relatives in my hometown. If it hadn't been for my grandfather, I might still be farming in my hometown now."

In the first month of 1982, the great grandfather returned to his hometown in Yangsanjia Village, Jingchu, to visit relatives, and took him from his hometown to the imperial capital to teach him his skills.

If it weren't for my grandfather, he might still be doing farm work in his hometown with his back to the sky and his back to the sky, and he wouldn't be where he is today.

Yang Feng was very grateful to his grandfather and Yang Yukun, who was not many years older than him, and to everyone who had helped him.

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.

He kept all the help others gave him in his heart.

"Uncle Kun, auntie."

"Wow woof woof..."

"Black Panther, what are you calling me? You don't recognize me?"

"Guangcheng is here."

Xu Jingping was in the living room of the main room with Xiao Zongzi. When he heard voices, he opened the door and opened the curtain and came out of the house.

"The eldest nephew is here." Yang Yukun stood at the door of the kitchen and waved: "I'm waiting for you. Just come here alone. Where is that boy Xiaohao?"

"Xiao Hao and his parents went to see his grandparents, but they haven't come back yet."

"I want you to come over for a meal. What can you bring?"

"I brought two bottles of canned yellow peach to you and my aunt. This box of tea was Qihong given to me by others. I know you like drinking black tea, so I brought it to you."

Yang Feng greeted: "Grandpa, please sit down and warm yourself by the fire."

Yang Guangcheng leaned towards the stove: "It's so cold outside, Uncle Kun, what are you stewing? It's so fragrant."

"Old Goose."

Yang Yukun opened the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma wafted out. Yang Guangcheng and Yang Feng swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

"Beezi, come and try it to see if it's cooked."

Yang Yukun picked up a piece of goose meat with a spoon and asked Yang Feng to taste it to see if it was cooked.

"It smells so good, wow...it's so hot."

"Is it cooked?"

"It's ready."

"It's been simmering for two hours. Okay, let's start dinner."

Yang Yukun called Xu Jingping, and then brought up the Jieyuhua that he had just warmed.

"The weather is too cold. Let's drink something hot today, warm rice wine."

"Grandpa, let me have a drink with you."

"Row."

Yang Yukun brought a bowl to Yang Guangcheng and Yang Feng to serve wine, and the three of them drank from the bowl first.

Although Xiao Zongzi has started to eat complementary food, he has not yet been weaned, and Xu Jingping cannot drink alcohol yet.

A five-pound jar of Jieyuhua ended up in the stomachs of Yang Yukun, Yang Guangcheng, and Yang Feng.

Half an old goose was stewed in a large pot, and there was still a large bowl left to eat. I will heat it up and continue eating it tomorrow morning. (End of chapter)
