Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Come on, Lao Zhang, let's meet another one."

"You can't drink any more. If you drink any more, you'll have to crawl back."

Seeing that Yang Yukun wanted to pour him wine, Zhang Bei quickly covered the wine glass.

He came here on a bicycle, but he drank too much and couldn't ride for a while.

If it falls, it will be really tough.

"Then you eat more food."

Yang Yukun put down the bottle of wine and asked Zhang Bei to eat more food without any further persuasion.

After dinner was finished and we chatted for a while, Zhang Bei left with a rumble on his meat-wrapped iron, taking away a basket of winter dates.

He Xiaoxia tidied up the kitchen and continued to write unfinished homework.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Third sister, the phone number is for you."

"Who?"

"He's your classmate, his name is Ming Xiaofen."

He Xiaoxia was doing homework in the living room of the main room. When she heard the phone ringing, she answered the call. The other party said it was Ming Xiaofen and wanted to see her third sister.

"Xiaofen, it's me, Jingping..."

Xu Jingping was brushing her teeth and washing her face in the bathroom when she heard He Xiaoxia ask her to answer the phone.

At first she thought the call was from her parents, but she didn't expect it to be Ming Xiaofen's wedding invitation.

Next month, on the eighth day of winter, Ming Xiaofen will hold a wedding in her hometown of Qianzhou, Xiangchu, Xiangxi, and invite her and Yang Yukun to Qianzhou for a wedding banquet.

Yang Yukun took a bath in hot water and walked from the kitchen to the main living room: "Daughter-in-law, what is classmate Ming Xiaofen's phone number?"

"Yes, Xiaofen's wedding date has been set. It's the eighth day of the winter lunar month. Let's go there early."

"Guan Yongjun is getting married in the alley next door on the second day of the winter. We can go there on the third day of the lunar month and play a few more days."

"Okay, let's go there on the third day of winter."

"After attending classmate Ming Xiaofen's wedding, I can just go to Shicheng County to see Lao Peng."

The last time I saw Peng Jianguo was in 1982, when Peng Tao and He Hua got married.

Counting the time, it has been four and a half years since we last met.

Yang Yukun had long wanted to visit Peng Jianguo in Shicheng County, but he had not done so due to various reasons.

Qianzhou in western Hunan is not far from Shicheng County in Sichuan and Sichuan. After passing Yongsui County in Xiangchu and western Hunan, it is Gaoshan County in Yuzhou, Yang Yukun's hometown in his previous life. From Gaoshan County to Youzhou County, he arrived at Shicheng County.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Yang Yukun really missed Peng Jianguo, an old classmate and friend.

After attending Ming Xiaofen's wedding, I stopped by Shicheng County to see Peng Jianguo. The two brothers had a good time catching up on old times.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, I'm going back first."

"Have you finished your homework?"

"It's finished."

"Go back."

"okay."

After finishing her homework, He Xiaoxia said hello to her third sister and third brother-in-law, and left from her third sister's and third brother-in-law's house.

She subconsciously wanted to greet Black Panther, but then she remembered that Black Panther was not at home and had asked her third aunt and third uncle to take her to her hometown in the countryside.

"It's almost eight o'clock. My parents won't be back, right?"

Xu Jingping looked at the time, and it was still a quarter of an hour before eight o'clock.

It was getting dark now, and I didn’t see my parents coming back.

It is estimated that mom and dad will not come back tonight and will stay at He Xiaoxia's house.

"Daughter-in-law, listen."

"What?" "The sound of the car engine probably means my parents are back."

At this moment, Yang Yukun heard a car driving into the alley and stopping in front of their house.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is most likely the father-in-law, mother-in-law and the others.

As he expected, after a while, he saw the father-in-law and mother-in-law walking in from outside with a small rice dumpling and a black panther.

Xu Jingping said: "Dad, Mom, you are back. I haven't seen you back so late. Xiaokun and I thought you wouldn't be back tonight."

Cai Quanwu said: "Originally we planned to come back in the afternoon, but your uncle Jihua insisted on staying us for dinner. If we don't eat, we won't be allowed to leave."

"Which uncle Jihua?"

Xu Huizhen said: "I went to the second home of your grandparents, and even if I told you, you wouldn't recognize them."

"Ok."

Because of He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi, my mother never took the sisters to their grandparents' house when they were young.

In addition, my grandparents are gone, so my parents go there by themselves if there is something going on there, and they rarely go there.

So Xu Jingping didn't really know many relatives on her mother's side.

Not seeing He Xiaoxia, Xu Huizhen asked: "Where is Xiaoxia?"

Xu Jingping replied: "Not long after I went back, you guys came back."

Yang Yukun said: "Is the little Zongzi asleep?"

Cai Quanwu smiled and said, "I guess I was too tired from playing with the chickens and the dogs, so I fell asleep on the way back."

"Dad, give it to me." Yang Yukun took the little zongzi from his father-in-law and put the little girl back into the bedroom: "Dad, Mom, how is my uncle? Is the injury serious?"

"It's not a big problem. I accidentally twisted it while digging sweet potatoes. We have to go there early tomorrow morning."

"Why did you go over there?"

"Help dig sweet potatoes. There are still a lot of sweet potatoes in the ground that have not been dug out. Lao He has injured his leg now. Xu Huizhi will have to dig for who knows how many days by herself. Let's help dig for two days."

When they came back today, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen brought back little rice dumplings.

Although He Yongqiang's leg is not seriously injured, he is currently unable to do heavy work or carry heavy loads.

There are still a lot of sweet potatoes in the ground that have not been dug back. Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen plan to help dig them for two days, so that Xu Huizhi can relax a little bit.

"It's getting late, you two should go to bed early, Quanwu, let's go back too."

"it is good."

After handing the rice dumplings to the second daughter and second son-in-law, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen returned to the tavern.

After breakfast the next morning, the two of them set off to Simatai again and helped dig sweet potatoes for three days before returning.

"Crackling..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

“Happy opening!”

The first direct-operated store of Zhiwei Liquor Company was renovated and opened for business on November 28, 1986 and October 27 of the lunar calendar in the Year of the Tiger.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Yang Yukun pulled off the red silk covering the signboard of the Zhiwei Liquor Direct-operated Store.

The entire directly operated store covers an area of ​​2,000 square meters, with a storage area in the back and a business area in the front. The products sold in the store are Baxian Zui, Hanhai Qiongjiang and Jieyuhua produced by the company's two major production bases.

Specifications include one-pound bottles, two-jin bottles, three-jin jars, five-jin jars, and ten-jin jars.

In addition, Baxian Zui, Hanhai Qiongjiang and Jieyuhua Bingyin Year of the Tiger zodiac wine have also been produced, totaling 30,000 bottles, each bottle has its own number.

These 30,000 bottles of zodiac wine will also be sold in direct-operated stores, but the price of zodiac wine is much more expensive than ordinary wine, doubling the price of a pound of Baxian Zui, Hanhai Qiongjiang, and Jieyuhua.

At this time, many customers were already gathered in front of Zhiwei Liquor's self-operated store.

These customers all came for the Bingyin Year of the Tiger zodiac wine launched by Zhiwei Liquor Industry.

By the end of the afternoon, one-third of the 30,000 bottles of Bingyin Year of the Tiger zodiac wine had been sold, and a lot of other sizes of wine had also been sold. (End of chapter)
