Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Little Zongzi, let's get home."

"Hehe...yeah...home..."

"Yes, this is also our home, our home in Jinmen."

After arriving in Jinmen at around two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yukun first sent Xu Jingping to the Jinmen branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant, and then returned to the courtyard of Jinmen with the little rice dumplings.

Taking out the key and opening the door, Yang Yukun walked into the courtyard with Xiao Zongzi.

This small courtyard was bought when Zhiweilou Restaurant first entered Jinmen, so that it would be convenient to have a place to stay when visiting Jinmen.

However, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping spent most of their time in the Imperial Capital, and they didn't live much in the small courtyard in Jinmen after they bought it.

It has been a long, long time since they last came to Jinmen.

After arriving home, Yang Yukun first cleaned the yard inside and outside, then carried two jars of wine and little rice dumplings and went out, intending to visit Boss Sun.

After a while, Yang Yukun took Xiao Zongzi to Sun's Hotel.

Boss Sun was playing chess with a neighbor and enjoying the sun in front of the hotel. Because his back was to the direction Yang Yukun came from, he didn't even notice when Yang Yukun approached with a small rice dumpling, and his eyes were fixed on the chess board.

"Vaulting horse."

"Vault..., eh, this is a good move. Why didn't I think of it?"

"Young man, do you know what it means to watch chess without saying a word?"

"Xiao...Xiaokun!"

Boss Sun felt that the voice of the person who reminded him sounded very familiar.

Turn around and look.

Wanwan didn’t expect it to be Yang Yukun.

"Uncle Sun, long time no see. How are you?"

"Okay, why did you come to Jinmen? When did you come?"

"I just arrived. I came here to wish you a happy new year. This is the wine I brought you. I wish you a happy new year, good health and all the best."

"Thank you. I said the magpies were chirping early in the morning today. It turned out to be to welcome you, kid."

"Little Zongzi, call me grandpa."

"grandfather."

"Hey, this girl is so good. She's eight months old, right?"

"More than eight months."

"Come on, little Zongzi, come to grandpa." Boss Sun said, "Lao Li, you win this round. Let's just go down here today. When we have time, we two brothers can continue."

"Okay, there are guests at home. You should entertain the guests first. I'm going back."

Uncle Li, who was playing chess with Boss Sun, saw that there were guests at Boss Sun's house, so he packed up the chess pieces and the board and took them home.

Lao Sun said that he would win this round, which was purely to put money on his old face.

If that kid hadn't ignored the rules and reminded him aloud, he would have killed Lao Sun ten times in a row, achieving ten consecutive victories.

"Xiao Kun, come inside and sit down."

"okay."

"You're the only one who came here with the little rice dumplings. This girl Jingping didn't come?"

"She came too and went to the store. I came with her."

"Call her home for dinner later. You take the little rice dumplings to sit for a while while I go to the vegetable market to buy some food."

"Uncle Sun, let me go with you."

"Okay, let's go."

Yang Yukun took the little rice dumplings and followed Boss Sun to the vegetable market not far away, and bought a lot of ingredients.

The two of them chatted about household matters while handling the ingredients.

Boss Sun said that his daughter and son-in-law just returned to Yuzhou with their granddaughter and grandson the day before yesterday.

This year, my son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law brought their children back from Yuzhou to accompany him during the New Year. The family had a lively reunion year.

The son and daughter-in-law were busy with work, so they took their eldest grandson back to Yuzhou on the third day of junior high school.

His daughter, son-in-law, and his family of four stayed with him at home for a while, and they left just before yesterday to go back. "These children also asked me to live with them in Yuzhou, saying that they were worried about me being far away from my hometown alone as I got older."

"They are also worried about you. After all, Jinmen and Yuzhou are so far apart. If something happens to you, they won't be able to rush back immediately."

"I know they are worried about me, but I have lived here all my life and my ancestors have been here for generations. I really can't adapt to living in another place.

My small hotel can make a lot of money in a month. My son and daughter will send me money every month. I don’t have to worry about food, clothing, drink, and money.

When you have nothing to do, just chat with your neighbors, play chess, or go out for a walk. Isn’t it better than living in another place?

Xiaokun, do you think this is true? "

"You're right. With your mentality, you can live to be at least one hundred and twenty years old."

Yang Yukun smiled and gave a thumbs up to Boss Sun.

Boss Sun really doesn’t want to live with his son and daughter?

Don’t want to live far away in Yuzhou and not see your eldest grandson, granddaughter, or grandson a few times a year?

Don’t you want to be together as a family and enjoy the happiness of your family?

of course not.

Being unable to leave the homeland is just an excuse the old man made for himself.

The main reason is that I am getting older and don't want to cause trouble to my children.

"By the way, Xiaokun, please give me an idea about something."

"Uncle Sun, tell me."

"I want to close the hotel and turn it into a rental, do you think it would work?"

"Don't you plan to continue opening this ancestral hotel?"

"There are not many guests staying in my hotel every day. I thought about it and turned it into a rental room."

Boss Sun, this hotel was passed down from ancestors.

Back then, their family was considered a prominent figure in Jinmen. Their business was quite large and they were quite wealthy.

When he came to his father's place, he became addicted to smoking. His father smoked out all his huge family property, leaving only this hotel and a Sanjinyuan ancestral house.

He also relied on this hotel to raise his two children.

However, the hotel is old and various facilities are somewhat behind the times.

Nowadays, many new hotels have opened in Jinmen, and the various facilities are not comparable to his hotel. Naturally, the business is getting worse day by day.

After some thought, Boss Sun decided to close the ancestral hotel and renovate it into a rental house.

From now on, he will be a renter and live by collecting some rent.

"Uncle Sun, I think your idea is feasible. It will definitely be easier to convert it into a rental house than to run a hotel. Just collect the rent on time every month."

"I think so too. I'll find someone to look at how to change it later." Boss Sun said, "Go ahead and call Jingping over. There are still two dishes left and we can start the meal."

"Okay, I'll ask her to go."

Yang Yukun took Xiao Zongzi home first, drove the car, and went straight to the Jinmen store of Zhiweilou Restaurant.

After arriving at Jinmen Branch, the father and daughter went straight to Xu Jingping's office.

"Dudududu..., wife, Mr. Luo."

Yang Yukun knocked on the door and took Xiao Zongzi into the office.

Luo Jiangjing said: "Director Yang is here, and so is the little Zongzi."

"Mom, Aunt Luo."

"So nice."

Xu Jingping said: "Xiao Kun, you are here at the right time. The groundbreaking ceremony for the hotel building and commercial complex is scheduled for the morning of tomorrow. As the company's vice chairman, you have to attend."

"Okay, listen to the chairman, does Master Chen have to come over too?"

"He'll arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"Come on, wife, Uncle Sun has already prepared dinner. Let's go to Uncle Sun's place for dinner."

"Let's go then."

Yang Yukun asked: "Mr. Luo, do you want to go together?"

Luo Jiangjing said: "My mother-in-law made dinner, and I will go home to eat it later."

"I almost forgot, your husband's family is from Jinmen, wife, let's go then."

Picked up Xu Jingping at Jinmen Branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant, and the family of three left from Jinmen Branch to have dinner at Boss Sun's house. (End of chapter)
