Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 625 Returning to the old place

The town is not big, so it took a family of three less than two hours to visit the two towns across the river.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping stayed in the town for one night with their little rice dumplings. They lived in Grandma Yang's house on the banks of the Chadong River and slept in a stilted building at night.

In Grandma Yang's family, she and her husband are the only two people, and their children are not at home.

My son is serving as a soldier in the snowy area, and my daughter-in-law and grandchildren are all in the snowy area.

Both my daughter and son-in-law work in their workplaces in Yongsui County. When they are not busy, they come back to visit them every ten and a half months. They may not be able to come back even if they are busy for one or two months.

Early the next morning, the family of three bid farewell to Granny Yang and his wife, went to the bus station in Hong'an Town, Sichuan Province opposite, and got on the bus to Gaoshan County, intending to go to the county to take the bus to Shicheng.

An hour and a half later, the bus arrived at Gaoshan County Bus Station, where a family of three bought tickets to Shicheng County.

The bus departs at 11:30 noon and will arrive at around 4:30 pm.

"Come on, wife, let's go shopping nearby."

"Where to go?"

"Is it tasty?"

"How could daddy forget you? Come on, little zongzi, and open your mouth."

After buying the ticket, Yang Yukun took Xu Jingping and Xiao Zongzi to wander around the area.

"Rice tofu, a specialty snack in this area."

"It's delicious, I want to eat more."

"Dad, I want to eat too." Seeing that his parents were eating so deliciously, the little zongzi drooled with greed and reached out to grab his father.

"It's still early before the train leaves. We can't just sit at the station for two hours. Let's take Zongzi for a walk outside and try some local snacks."

"Try this rice cake."

"This chili is so delicious."

"what is this?"

"Little Zongzi, let's go play."

"Let's go."

"Honey, bring me five oil cakes, five rice cakes, and two portions of rice tofu."

"what."

"Eat some oily cake."

"good to eat."

"it is good."

"This one is delicious too."

Yang Yukun was a native of Gaoshan County in his previous life. Although Gaoshan County now is not as prosperous as it was a few decades ago, with not so many shopping malls, high-rise buildings, and wide roads, Yang Yukun was quite excited to revisit his old place.

"Daughter-in-law, try it, it tastes really good."

"Okay, hehe..."

"Eat slowly."

"whee……."

"There's a communal rice vendor over there. Let's try it, my wife."

"it is good."

Xu Jingping smiled. She felt that Yang Yukun was a little different at this moment than before.

She went to many places, but only here, she found that Yang Yukun seemed to be a different person, and the smile on his face never broke.

This feeling is like returning to your own home, everything is so familiar.

"Daughter-in-law, do you want to try something else? This one tastes good too. Mung bean powder can't be eaten in other places except in the surrounding area."

"Xiao Kun, I'm so full now, I'm full."

"Then let's have a bowl, and you can taste it later."

"Dad, I want to eat too."

"Row."

Yang Yukun ordered a large bowl of mung bean flour, put a chopstick into a small rice dumpling bowl, and shared the rest with Xu Jing.

Xu Jingping took a taste and said, "This taste is really special."

"How are you, wife? Is it delicious?"

"It's okay. I just don't like this taste. I can't eat it anymore. I'll leave it to you. Can't waste it."

"Don't worry, wife, I promise it won't be wasted."

After eating a large bowl of mung bean powder, Yang Yukun burped. After eating all this, he was a little full. It’s been so many years since I tasted these familiar flavors of my hometown. Yang Yukun felt particularly satisfied.

"Dad, I've finished eating."

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

"Are you full?"

"So full."

Xu Jingping looked at the time: "It's almost departure time, let's go to the station."

"Okay, let's go."

Yang Yukun hugged the rice dumplings, Xu Jingping carried them and saluted, and the family of three returned to the Gaoshan County bus station.

At 11:30 p.m., the bus left the station and arrived at Shicheng County Bus Station at 4 p.m.

After getting off the car, I found a place to call Peng Jianguo.

Peng Jianguo was surprised to learn that a family of three was actually in Shicheng County. He repeatedly confirmed whether Yang Yukun was joking?

After confirming that Yang Yukun's family of three had really come to Shicheng County, Peng Jianguo asked them to wait at the door of the bus station, and he would come to pick them up immediately.

"Daughter-in-law, let's wait for a while, Lao Peng will come to pick us up."

"Row."

"Little Zongzi, uncle Jianguo will come to pick us up soon. Let's wait here for a while, okay?"

"it is good."

"I'll let your uncle Jianguo treat us to a big dinner later."

"Hehe..., Dad, I want to go to the toilet."

"The toilet is over there."

"Let's go, mom will take you there."

Xu Jingping took Xiaozongzi to the toilet, while Yang Yukun was waiting for the two of them at the door with their things.

After the two of them came out of the toilet, the family of three waited at the train station for another ten minutes. A Didu 212 jeep parked in front of the family of three.

The car door opened, Peng Jianguo jumped out of the car and went straight to Yang Yukun.

"Xiao Kun, it's really you. I didn't expect your kid to actually come to Shicheng County."

Peng Jianguo gave Yang Yukun a bear hug. When he received Yang Yukun's call, he really thought the boy was teasing him.

He never expected that Yang Yukun would really come to Shicheng County and give him a big surprise.

"Lao Peng, you really think your brother is joking with you."

Yang Yukun smiled and punched Peng Jianguo. Compared with four years ago, Peng Jianguo had not changed much.

He was a lot darker, a lot stronger, and he looked like he had the aura of a leader.

"Dude, I really thought you were making fun of me."

"You really think that my brother has nothing to do, right? Jingping and I came all the way to see you with little rice dumplings. How about a big dinner?"

"It must be arranged. The little zongzi has grown so big that he should be called uncle."

"uncle."

"Hey, you're so good, uncle, give me a hug."

Peng Jianguo and Yang Yukun hadn't seen each other for more than four years. He didn't have time to go to the imperial capital when the little Zongzi was born. This was the first time he saw this little girl. He had only seen photos of this little girl before.

Xu Jingping said: "Lao Peng, this is the wine Xiao Kun brought you from the Imperial Capital, and this is the Qianzhou salted duck we brought you from Qianzhou."

"Good brothers, Xiaokun, Jingping, thank you."

Peng Jianguo was very moved when he came all the way from the imperial capital to bring him two bottles of wine.

Although they have not seen each other for many years, the friendship between them has not faded with the passage of time, but has become stronger like old wine in a cellar.

"Get in the car, let's go home first, and then go to a restaurant for a big meal."

"Walk."

"Okay, go home."

Peng Jianguo drove Yang Yukun's family of three to the county compound, where he now lives.

His work was transferred from the county water conservancy station to the county government, and he just moved here some time ago.
