Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Teacher Zheng, your skills are good."

"You're just kidding, I'm a professional. How about that? I'm not bragging."

“Really professional.”

"My father initially forced me to practice this skill so that I could have a skill in the future, but I didn't expect that I would become a teacher."

"It's delicious. It's no worse than the ones in restaurants. With your cooking skills, you can be a chef in a restaurant."

"There is no way I can enter the chef profession in my life. I prefer the job of a teacher to being a chef."

"Come here, Teacher Zheng, I want to toast you and wish you success all over the world."

"Thank you, Xiaokun, Jingping, come and eat some food."

"it is good."

Zheng Chengyun really wasn't bragging. His cooking skills were indeed beyond Yang Yukun's expectations, and he cooked Sichuan cuisine very well.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk...Teacher Zheng, Teacher Ran, they are eating."

"Mr. Balzac, did you smell the aroma of food downstairs?"

Seeing the person appearing at the door, Zheng Chengyun smiled and asked him to come in.

This is Mr. Balzac, who lives next door to them downstairs. He helped him a lot when he first came to Yili Teachers College.

Balzac is from Kunmo, and his family are all in Kunmo's hometown. He lives alone in Ningyuan and is good at singing and dancing.

Compared with other teachers in the school, Zheng Chengyun has the closest relationship with Balzac.

"Mr. Balzac, sit here."

Ran Xiaoyi went to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Balzac.

"I brought two bottles of wine."

Knowing that there were guests at Zheng Chengyun's house, Balzac specially brought two bottles of good wine that he had collected that he could not bear to drink.

"This is Balzac." Zheng Chengyun introduced: "This is Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping. This little girl is their child, called Xiao Zongzi."

"Hello, Mr. Balzac."

"Comrade Yang Yukun, Comrade Xu Jingping, hello."

Ran Xiaoyi said: "Xiaokun and Jingping are college classmates with me. They came from the imperial capital to Ningyuan to see me this time."

"Comrade Yang Yukun, Comrade Xu Jingping, are you from the imperial capital?"

"Our family belongs to the Imperial Capital."

"Is your home far from the square?"

"It's not far away. Our family lives in Qianmen Building, right next to the square. We often went to the square to play when I was a kid."

"Then have you met the mentor?"

"I've seen it."

"Comrade Yang Yukun, Comrade Xu Jingping, I really envy you. My wish is to go to the imperial capital, but unfortunately I have never had this opportunity."

"Mr. Balzac, there will definitely be this opportunity in the future. When you go to the imperial capital in the future, I will be your tour guide."

"You are also welcome to visit my home if you have the opportunity. Our Kunmo fruits are fragrant and sweet."

"Xiao Kun, Balzac, come on, have a drink."

"Walk."

Balzac was indeed good at singing and dancing. After two glasses of wine, he became more enthusiastic and sang Western folk songs and danced two Western dances.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening when it got dark that Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping left Yili Normal College and returned to the guest house with their little rice dumplings on their bicycles.

"Adasi, you are back."

"Brother Ah Shan."

"This is Teacher Zheng's bicycle. Put it over there."

"I didn't expect Brother Ah Shan and Teacher Zheng to know each other."

"Teacher Zheng and I have known each other for many years. When Teacher Zheng first came to Ningyuan and couldn't find his way around, I sent him to school. My sister also studied at Yili Normal University back then. Now she has graduated and is in the city. He was a teacher at a middle school in the district, and Teacher Zheng also taught him.”

"Brother Ah Shan, you're busy, let's go back to the room first."

"it is good."

After chatting with the guest house owner Ah Shan for a while, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping prepared to take the little zongzi back to the room. Zheng Chengyun and Ran Xiaoyi will not go to work tomorrow weekend.

Tomorrow morning Zheng Chengyun and Ran Xiaoyi will come to the guest house to find them and act as tour guides to take them around Ningyuan.

"Akka."

"Si Enle, what's wrong?"

"Aka, are they guests staying at our house?"

"Yes, Adasi will introduce to you, this is my sister Ayimu." Ah Shan introduced: "This is Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping, and their daughter Xiao Zongzi. They are Teacher Ran's classmates and came to Ningyuan to see Teacher Ran. .”

Just as the family of three was preparing to go back to their room, a girl from the Western Regions in beautiful ethnic costumes walked out of the back yard.

This is Ah Shan’s sister, named Ayimu.

After learning that Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping were Ran Xiaoyi's classmates, Ayimu was very enthusiastic and took them to chat for a while, and even brought them some fruits to eat.

After returning to the guest house, they chatted with Ashan and Ayimu for more than an hour. It was not until the little Zongzi fell asleep that Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the little girl back to the room.

After washing up, I turned off the lights and went to bed.

…………

Early the next morning.

Ran Xiaoyi and Zheng Chengyun rode Balzac's bicycle out and went to the guest house to find Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping and Xiao Zongzi.

After working in Ningyuan for so many years, they often go out for shopping in their spare time. They are already very familiar with the situation in Ningyuan.

Today they will serve as guides for Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping's family of three, taking them to visit Ningyuan.

After a while, Zheng Chengyun and Ran Xiaoyi arrived at the guest house.

"Brother Ah Shan."

"Teacher Zheng, Teacher Ran."

Ashan was feeding the horse when he heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he saw that it was Zheng Chengyun and Ran Xiaoyi.

Ayimu ran out of the room: "Teacher Zheng, Teacher Ran!"

Zheng Chengyun said: "Ayimu, are you back from school?"

"Well, I came back yesterday afternoon."

Ayimu works as a teacher in a middle school in the city. She usually lives at the school and usually goes home on weekends.

Ran Xiaoyi smiled and said: "Ayimu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Teacher Zheng, Teacher Ran, you are here to see Brother Yang, Sister Jingping and Xiao Zongzi, right?"

"We call you brother and sister. When did you meet?"

"Hehe... We met yesterday. Brother Yang and Sister Jingping live upstairs. I will take you up."

"No, we're already up." Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping came down from upstairs with the little rice dumplings: "Teacher Zheng, Teacher Ran, Brother Ashan, Ayimu, good morning."

"Brother Yang, sister Jingping, good morning."

"Little Zongzi, come to Auntie."

"Uncle, aunt."

"So nice."

"whee……."

Yang Yukun said: "Teacher Zheng, Teacher Ran, let's have some breakfast at Brother Ashan's place first, and I'll trouble you two guides later."

Ayimu said: "Teacher Zheng, Teacher Ran, Brother Yang, Sister Jingping, do you want to go out to play soon? Can I go with you?"

Xu Jingping smiled and said: "Of course."

"Thank you, Sister Jingping. I'll treat you to breakfast."

After breakfast at the guest house, Zheng Chengyun, Ran Xiaoyi, and Ayimu took Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping, and Xiao Zongzi as guides for a day of shopping in Ningyuan.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping stayed in Ningyuan for three days with their little rice dumplings, and then left Ningyuan to visit other places in the surrounding area.

Little Zongzi also celebrated her first birthday in the Western Region.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping are also preparing to end their trip to the Western Regions and return to the imperial capital with Xiao Zongzi. (End of chapter)
