Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Xiao Kun, your drinking capacity is terrible."

Those who come are guests.

Knowing that Yang Yukun wanted to drink, Father Zhu specially found a few good drinkers to drink with him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yukun's drinking capacity was so strong that he knocked down five good drinkers in their village in a row.

Yang Yukun smiled and said: "Uncle, can I have a drink with you?"

"I don't know how to drink. I get drunk whenever I touch alcohol."

"Come on, it's getting late. That's all for today."

Yang Yukun smiled, put on his coat, got off the table and found Xu Jingping and others chatting with Zhu Jing in the room.

As for the drunk Zheng Chengyun and several other people who drank with him and got him drunk, Father Zhu will arrange for someone to accommodate them.

"Daughter-in-law, where is the little zongzi?"

"Asleep, sleeping in the house."

The little Zongzi just lay in her arms and fell asleep, so Xu Jingping put the girl on the bed in the room.

Zhu's father said: "Xiao Kun, do you want to play cards? I'll find someone to join you at the table?"

"Uncle, I won't fight. If you have something to do, you can be busy with your business and don't worry about us."

"Okay, are you sleepy? Xiao Zheng is in this room. If you get sleepy later, you and Xiao Zheng will sleep in this room. Jingping, Yiyi, Xiaofen, and Yulan will sleep in this room."

"okay."

Yang Yukun was not sleepy at all now. He took a chair and sat next to Xu Jingping, listening to their chat.

Zhu Jing's partner's home is across the Panlong River, and the two families face each other across the river.

Standing on the bank of Panlong River and looking up, the house opposite with lights and colorful decorations was Zhu Jing's partner's house.

Her partner came back from the army, and they met through someone's introduction half a year ago.

"Xiao Kun, here it is."

"Daughter-in-law, what is this?"

"Wedding invitation."

"Whose wedding invitation?"

Xu Jingping took out a wedding invitation from his pocket and handed it to Yang Yukun.

Opening the wedding invitation with doubts, Yang Yukun raised his head and looked at Yao Yulan, who was smiling.

This is Yao Yulan's wedding invitation, inviting them to attend her wedding at Yuzhang's home in Jiangyou Province on the sixth day of July.

"Classmate Yao Yulan, are you getting married too?"

"Yes, the date is set for the sixth day of the next month. Classmate Yang Yukun, you and Jingping are welcome to visit our home with the little zongzi."

"Definitely go."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping had received a wedding invitation when they were at home. High school classmate Zhang Dajiang was holding a wedding on the ninth day of July.

Originally, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping planned to take the little zongzi to play in Chuncheng for a while after attending Zhu Jing's wedding in Chuncheng, and then return to the imperial capital to attend Zhang Dajiang's wedding.

Unexpectedly, when I came to Spring City to attend Zhu Jing's wedding, I would also receive Yao Yulan's wedding invitation.

There is a three-day difference between the sixth day of July and the ninth day of July. It seems that we can only change the schedule midway. We must first go to Yuzhang, Jiangyou to attend Yao Yulan's wedding, and then return to the imperial capital to attend Zhang Dajiang's wedding.

"Classmate Ming Xiaofen, what about you, when do you plan to get married?"

Yang Yukun put away the invitation and turned to ask Ming Xiaofen.

"Classmate Yang Yukun, please prepare the red envelope."

"When is the date set?"

"The specific time has not been decided yet, but it will definitely be held this year, probably during the winter months."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. When the time is set, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible."

Ming Xiaofen said that she expected to hold a wedding in the winter months of this year. Naturally, she was not joking with Yang Yukun. She would not make fun of her own life-long event.

Her partner was also a teacher at Qianzhou University, from the village next door to them, and they had known each other since childhood.

They have been together for two years, and their families hope that they will get married. The parents of both parties are still discussing the specific time, and it will be roughly set in the winter or twelfth lunar month.

Zhu Jing said: "By the way, have you heard any news about Yang Aizhen in these years?"

Yao Yulan said: "No, considering the time, her studies in France should be over. I wonder if she is back?"

Ran Xiaoyi said: "Maybe after she finishes her studies, she may stay and work abroad."

Ming Xiaofen said: "We have lost contact with her since she went abroad to France. I don't know how she has been living these years. There is no news at all."

Xu Jingping said: "I remember Yang Aizhen said that her family had relatives settled in France, so she chose to study in France. Maybe after completing her studies there, she would also choose to settle in France."

Several sisters in the same dormitory were chatting together, and the topic inevitably turned up about Yang Aizhen, a sister in the same dormitory who went to study in France.

Four and a half years have passed since they graduated from college, but Xu Jingping and others have not heard from Yang Aizhen.

I don’t know if she has had a good time studying in France these years.

No one knows whether she is currently in France or has completed her studies and returned to China.

"Dad, mom..."

"It seems that little Zongzi has woken up. I'll go take a look."

Yang Yukun heard the little Zongzi calling her parents, and went to the house to see that the little girl was awake.

The little girl didn't see her parents after she woke up, so she rolled off the bed to look for her parents.

"Little Zongzi, wake up."

"dad."

"Hey."

Put on the shoes and clothes for the little girl, and Yang Yukun took the girl to find her mother.

After having a midnight snack at around eleven o'clock in the evening, Xu Jingping took the little rice dumplings and went to rest.

Yang Yukun was not sleepy at the moment, so he chatted with Father Zhu and the others, and before he knew it, it was the early morning of the next day.

Xu Jingping and others only slept for three or four hours. At three or four o'clock in the morning, they woke up and got up to dress Zhu Jing.

It's time to go out at dawn, and the bride must be dressed up beautifully.

"Go with your father."

"Little Zongzi is awake too?"

"She woke up as soon as I woke up."

Xu Jingping handed the small rice dumplings to Yang Yukun, and went with Ran Xiaoyi and the others to dress Zhu Jing.

"dad."

"Hey."

Yang Yukun took the little rice dumpling over and found that the girl didn't wake up at all and didn't open her eyes. After a while, she lay in his arms and fell asleep again.

At dawn, the sleeping little Zongzi was awakened by artillery again.

The groom has arrived to pick up the bride. Standing on the bank of Panlong River, you can see that the groom's pick-up team on the other side of the river has set off from home.

"Xiao Kun."

"Teacher Zheng, are you sober?"

"Awake, but not fully awake yet."

Zheng Chengyun rubbed his head. He was awakened by the sound of artillery.

I drank a lot last night and felt a headache when I woke up.

There was a bridge across the river, and it didn't take long for the groom's family's pick-up team to arrive at the bride's house.

The wedding customs here in Spring City are still different from those in the Imperial Capital, which is quite interesting to watch.

"Come on, Xiaokun, let's go see Jingjing off together."

"Teacher Zheng, let's go."

Yang Yukun held the little rice dumplings in his arms, and together with Xu Jingping and the others, they followed the procession to send Zhu Jing out. They also went to the groom's official house together and had another wedding banquet at the groom's official house. (End of chapter)
