Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Xiao Kun."

"Master Niu, come in quickly and drink tea. The freshly brewed Dianhong."

"Grandpa Niu."

"Hey, little zongzi."

"Master Niu, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Didn't Pian'erye's small courtyard have been rented out in the rental advertisement posted before? I tore up the advertisement posted before."

"Master Niu, come and drink tea."

After lunch, as soon as the tea was brewed, Master Niu came.

Yang Yukun invited Mr. Niu into the house and poured tea for the old man.

Mr. Niu put down his tea cup and said, "Xiao Kun, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Master Niu, please is too strong a word. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"Do you know where my sister Pian'erye's house is?"

"I know, what's wrong, Mr. Niu?"

"You help me go to Pian'erye's sister's house and give her the money to send home."

"Sending money to Mr. Pian'er's sister?"

"This is the rent for Mr. Pian'er's small courtyard. It's fifty yuan a month. Mr. Pian'er said that after the courtyard is rented out, the rent will be given to his sister to improve her life."

"Give it all to his sister. You will manage the yard for Mr. Pian'er, so why don't you leave some for drinking?"

"Master Pian'er did ask me to keep half of it for drinking. I'm not short of wine, so I'd better give it all to his sister."

When Master Pian'er went to the Northeast, he gave him the keys to his home and asked him to rent out the courtyard.

Half of the rent earned was given to him to drink, and the other half was given to his sister for help.

The house is now rented out and the first rent payment has been received.

But Mr. Niu never thought about actually keeping half of the rent and putting it into his own pocket. He was not short of the drinking money.

Not to mention that his son and daughter-in-law all have formal jobs, but his monthly salary is quite a lot of money.

In August 1981, Meng Xiaoxing opened a recycling station. He was invited by Meng Xiaoxing to work at the station to help her renovate and repair some old furniture.

Later, Meng Xiaoxing upgraded the renewable resource recycling station to an environmental protection company, and separated the business of refurbishing and repairing old furniture to establish a furniture factory. He became the chief expert of the furniture factory and brought many apprentices to the furniture factory.

His salary in the furniture factory is much higher than that of his son and daughter-in-law combined.

As for drinking, he basically doesn’t have to pay for it himself.

Meng Xiaoxing would give him two bottles of good wine from time to time, and several apprentices in the furniture factory would also honor him as their master from time to time.

Master Pian'er trusts him so much, and as an old friend, he naturally won't really keep half of the rent.

"Master Niu, you are so powerful and so capable, it is worth learning from us juniors."

Yang Yukun toasted Mr. Niu with tea instead of wine.

If we don’t say that Mr. Niu is the most angry person in the alley, many people will never reach this state of conduct and work in a lifetime of study.

"You kid, please stop praising me. Then please go to Pian'erye's sister's house."

"Okay, just leave this to me. I'll leave in a moment and send the money to Master Pian'er and his sister, and hand it over to his sister personally."

"Then I will withdraw first. Your master is at Uncle Guan's place. I will go find them."

"Okay, Mr. Niu, please walk slowly."

"it is good."

Entrusting the matter to Yang Yukun, Mr. Niu got up and left to go to Uncle Guan's place.

After Mr. Niu left, Yang Yukun called Xu Jingping's office at Zhiweilou Catering Company and told her that Mr. Niu had entrusted him to send money to Pian'erye's sister, so that she would not find him and Xiao Zongzi when she came back later.

"Black Panther, just stay home and look after the house. We will be back soon."

"Woof woof woof..."

"Walking little Zongzi, daddy will take you to play."

He took the five large unity sheets given by Mr. Niu, put two bottles of Eight Immortals Drunk and two boxes of biscuits in the car, and picked a basket of winter dates from the jujube tree in the yard.

The fruits on the two jujube trees were ready for picking again, so I picked them back and gave them to the neighbors.

It's not far from the Qianmen building to Pian'erye's sister's house, and it only takes about twenty minutes to drive there.

After parking the car at the door, Yang Yukun carried his things and walked into the courtyard where Pian'erye's sister's house was located.

Master Pian'er's sister was washing clothes in the courtyard and chatting with two old ladies in the same courtyard. Yang Yukun handed the money and things to Mr. Pian'er's sister. The old lady wanted to stay with him for dinner, so he excused himself that he would have something to do later and stayed there for about thirty minutes before leaving.

…………

"Grandpa, aunt, you are back."

"Fengzi, Xiaoxue, when did you two come here?"

"Just came here for a while."

"mom!"

"Hey." Xu Jingping picked up the little Zongzi: "I just came back from the company, and Fengzi and Xiaoxue were squatting at the door."

Yang Yukun said: "You two, too, just go back when you see the door is locked. If we come back late, or if we travel far away to other places, you will always wait at the door."

Yang Feng said: "Xiaoxue and I waited for a while, and within ten minutes, my great-grandmother came back."

"Why are you free to come here today? Your uncle is giving you a day off today?"

"Grandpa asked me to come. He said that there is a ghost market in Panjiayao tonight. Grandpa asked me to ask you if you want to go and take a look?"

"Are you going too?"

"Grandpa and I are going, and Xiaohao will also go with us."

"I'll go as well."

"Then I'll go back and tell Grandpa, and we'll call you after dinner later."

"Why are you in a hurry? It's early. I'll call you grandpa when I go back after dinner."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Sit and watch TV for a while. There is some fruit on the table to eat. I'll prepare dinner."

"Grandpa, let me help you defeat it."

"No, you kid, just rest and don't get in the way of the kitchen."

"hey-hey……."

Yang Yukun said to Xu Jingping: "Daughter-in-law, Master Niu said that the master is at Uncle Guan's place. I'm going to see if he is still there."

"Okay, you go."

"Got it."

Black Panther followed Yang Yukun out of the house, one person and one dog to Uncle Guan's house in the alley next door.

When I went to Uncle Guan's small courtyard, I found that Uncle Guan was alone at home, and neither the master nor Master Niu were there.

Uncle Guan told him that the master and Mr. Niu had just left and went back to their respective homes.

"Uncle Guan, please rest, I will withdraw first."

After chatting with Uncle Guan for a while, Yang Yukun took Black Panther and left Uncle Guan's courtyard and returned to his home.

"Xiao Kun, didn't you go to Uncle Guan's house to call the master? Where is the master?"

"Master is no longer at Uncle Guan's house. He has returned to Rouge Alley."

After returning from Uncle Guan's house, Yang Yukun got into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Half an hour after He Xiaoxia came back from school, Yang Yukun had prepared dinner.

Not long after dinner, Yang Guangcheng came over with Yang Shihao.

A few minutes later, Han Chunming and Su Meng also brought Feifei and Mengmeng over to find Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping.

"Hey, Boss Yang, Fengzi, Xiaohao, you are here too."

"Little five."

"Boss Han."

"Uncle Wu."

Han Chunming said: "Going to Panjiayao?"

Yang Guangcheng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Xiao Kun, let's go?"

"Let's go, first go to Rouge Alley to pick up my master."

First, they went to Rouge Alley to pick up the master, and the group of six went straight to Panjiayao. (End of chapter)
