Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

The next day, the ninth day of July, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping arrived at Zhang Dajiang's house early in the morning with little rice dumplings.

High school classmate Zhang Dajiang got married today, and I had sent them invitations before.

Zhang Dajiang's partner was a junior high school mathematics teacher, and someone from his family introduced him to him.

In addition to Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping, four or five classmates from high school also came.

However, Sun Jiping and Wang Xiaoli, who were both members of the class committee in high school, did not come. One of them could not come back from work in another place, and the other was too busy with work.

We haven’t seen each other for many years, and when we get together again, we seem to have run out of topics to talk about. After a few pleasantries, we no longer know what to talk about.

After the wedding banquet, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping said hello to Zhang Dajiang, then left with the little zongzi and returned to the front door of the building.

"It's really hot today, Xiaokun, are you at home?"

"Hey, Mr. Pian'er, please come to your room."

"Are you alone at home?"

"Jingping went out with the little rice dumplings. Mr. Pian'er, let the fan blow in the room."

After returning from the wedding banquet at Zhang Dajiang's place, Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao invited Xu Jingping to go shopping with them. Xu Jingping took Xiao Zongzi with them to Xidan.

"It's so hot today that people who are exposed to the sun feel panicked."

"The iced watermelon was just taken out of the refrigerator. Mr. Pian, please eat the watermelon."

"it is good."

"Master Pian'er, where did you come from?"

"Drinking tea at Uncle Guan's place. Your master and Master Niu are also here. The three of us have just left Uncle Guan's place."

Master Pian'er, Polanhou and Master Niu stayed at Uncle Guan's place all morning.

After having lunch at Uncle Guan's place, the three of them left Uncle Guan's place and went back to their respective homes.

When passing by the door of Yang Yukun's house, he saw that the door was open, so Mr. Pian'er came in and took a look to see if Yang Yukun was at home.

"Master Pian'er, has my master returned to Rouge Alley?"

"I'm back. I just got back. By the way, I haven't seen Quan Wu and Huizhen for a long time. When will they come back?"

"I don't know that."

The father-in-law and mother-in-law are busy opening a new store of Sanqiuye Hotel in Yanzhao Province next door. As for when they will come back, Yang Yukun really doesn't know.

"Xiao Kun, I came to you because of such a matter."

"Master Pian'er, what do you want to say?"

"I also have a four-year-old officer's hat chair there, do you want it?"

"Master Pian'er, what's the matter? We're short of money and spent it?"

Yang Yukun put down the teacup.

He thought Master Pian'er was just passing by and came in to chat with him.

It seems that the old man is short of money again and plans to sell his belongings.

"It's not like Uncle Guan who has an apprentice and a filial granddaughter and son-in-law, unlike Mr. Hou who has royalties and you have a filial apprentice and daughter and son-in-law. It's not like Mr. Niu who is the chief expert of Meng Xiaoxing Furniture Factory and gets a salary.

I don’t have a job, and I don’t get a retirement salary, so I still have to eat, drink, and defecate. "

The money in Mr. Pian'er's hands was indeed almost gone, so he asked if he wanted some old objects and sold the four-year-old official's hat chair in his hand to get some money to spend.

"Master Pian'er, I remember you sold all the items in your hand to Uncle Su Meng, didn't you? Do you still have old items in your hands?"

"It's not sold out. I still have two four-year-old official hat chairs left. If you want them, I'll carry them over now."

"Master Pian'er, if you really want to take action, I still suggest you go to Brother Xiaowu, he can give you a higher price."

Yang Yukun did not agree to collect Pian'erye's things, but asked him to find Han Chunming.

The price he set out would definitely not be higher than what Han Chunming gave.

Even if the double-head official hat chair in Mr. Pian'er's hands meets his collection standards, he will only accept it at the market price at most. With so many old objects collected in his hands, Yang Yukun is not too obsessed with old objects.

If you sell something to Han Chunming, it will be at least 10% to 20% higher than the market price.

Yang Yukun didn't know what to say about Mr. Pian'er.

His mother-in-law gave him the right to run the tavern and gave him 40% of the profits.

Later, Mr. Pian'er disappeared and got together with Uncle Su Meng. The mother-in-law gave the management rights of the tavern to Zhao Yali and his wife.

Although the business of the tavern is not as good as before, there is still a lot of profit every month. The 40% profit every month is enough for Mr. Pian'er to pay for his food and clothing.

If Mr. Pian'er had managed the tavern well and not spent money lavishly, he would have lived a better life than most people in the alley.

Now that I am short of money, I am actually planning to buy the only old things I have left.

Back then, because he had no money to spend, he sold his ancestral courtyard to his mother-in-law. The courtyard where Xu Jingtian and the others live now is Pian'erye's ancestral property.

The small courtyard where Master Pian'er lives now was bought a few years ago.

Don't let this old man go back to the same old path, don't sell the small courtyard where he lives now, and end up living on the streets in his sixties.

Mr. Pian'er nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Xiaowu later. If the price is right, I'll sell him the two forty-year-old official hat chairs in my hand."

"Master Pian'er, save your money and spend it."

Back then, Master Pian'er sold the old items he had to Uncle Su Meng for a lot of money.

Now that he has money in his hands, Master Pian'er has not changed at all from his habit of being lazy and spending money lavishly. He has lost all the money in his hands in just a few years.

"Money is meant to be spent. I'm over 60 years old. I live and earn every day, so why keep the money if I don't spend it?"

I won’t tell you kid anymore, I’m going to see if Xiao Wu is at home. "

Master Pian'er took a piece of watermelon and stood up to leave, ready to find Han Chunming.

"Master Pian'er, please stay for dinner."

"Don't eat."

"Master Pian'er, please walk slowly."

Yang Yukun shook his head helplessly and asked the old man to save his money and spend it. The old man didn't seem to be happy.

"Woof woof woof..."

"Old man, forget it, why are you worrying so much, Black Panther, don't you think so?"

"Woof woof woof..."

"It's time to make dinner."

Yang Yukun checked the time and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao will come home for dinner soon, and they need to cook more dishes.

Yang Yukun had just finished dinner when Yang Yukun, Meng Xiaoxing, and Meng Xiaozao arrived home with their children.

"Uncle Kun!"

"It smells so good, Xiaokun, what are you cooking for?"

"Goose and mutton, you came back just in time. Wash your hands and eat."

"It's delicious."

Yang Yukun moved the dining table to the courtyard. In the evening, the courtyard was cooler than the house.

After dinner, a few people were chatting in the shade in the courtyard. Han Chunming and Su Meng came over with Feifei and Mengmeng.

Pian'erye's two four-year-old official hat chairs were sold to Han Chunming. These two four-year-old official hat chairs are now in Han Chunming's home. He paid 20% higher than the market price.

Han Chunming originally wanted to provide this old man with a job and let Mr. Pian'er go to his company to look after the door, but the old man was not happy yet. (End of chapter)
