Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Sister Hou."

"Hey, Xiaokun, Jingping, it's you, Xiaozongzi, Pingping, Xiaoyu, you're here too."

"Hehe... Hello, Auntie."

"Little Zongzi is so good."

"Sister Hou, here are seven large bowls of shredded pork noodles with soybean paste."

"Xiao Kun, Jingping, are these all your friends?"

"Yes, my classmates in college, they came over to see Jingping and the kids."

"You guys find a seat first. I'll treat you to this meal today."

"Okay, thank you Sister Hou, then I won't be polite to you."

"You are my father's apprentice and Xiaohua's master. Why are you so polite to me?"

"Brother-in-law is not here?"

"He's in another store."

Hou Su'e asked Yang Yukun and others to find a seat first. After placing the order in the kitchen, she brought several bottles of Arctic soda to Yang Yukun and others.

A few people found an empty seat, and Yang Yukun went to the side dish area to get some free pickles.

"Here comes your noodles, Xiaokun and Jingping, eat slowly and call me if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Hou."

"You're welcome, call me if you need anything."

"Old Zheng, Lao Zeng, Teacher Ran, Teacher Ming, Teacher Zhu, please try and see if it suits your taste."

"good to eat."

"The No. 1 noodles in the old Imperial City are not given to you for free. Sister Hou's noodles with soy sauce are the best in the city. The noodles-making technology was passed down from the master who made fried noodles in the imperial dining room of the Qing Dynasty for the Queen Mother of the West."

"This pickle is also very delicious."

"Brother-in-law Hou also made this pickle himself. It's more delicious than the pickles from Liubiju."

"Can you get some more?"

"I'll go get some more."

Seeing that Zheng Chengyun and others liked pickles so much, Yang Yukun went to fill another small bowl.

After taking Zheng Chengyun and the others to have breakfast, and saying hello to Hou Su'e, the group left from the Xidan branch of the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old imperial capital.

In February 1982, at Yang Yukun's suggestion, the chef invested in Hou Su'e and Liu Yunguang to open the No. 1 fried noodle restaurant in the old imperial capital. Last year, Liu Yunguang and Hou Su'e opened a larger branch.

After leaving the Xidan Main Store of the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old imperial capital, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took Zheng Chengyun and his party to visit the Forbidden City, and then went to the Mentor Memorial Hall, major museums, and university campuses to revisit their old places. Visit various tourist attractions in the imperial capital.

Zheng Chengyun and his party stayed in the Imperial Capital until late August. On August 23, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took them to the Imperial Capital Railway Station.

A few days later, school started, and He Lixia and He Xiaoxia also returned to the Imperial Capital from Shanghai.

Xu Jingtian's assistant job at Sanqiuye Hotel Company has also come to an end for the time being. With the salary earned from working at Sanqiuye Hotel Company, Xu Jingtian invited Yang Yukun and others to eat out at the Imperial Hotel.

Although she had never been short of money before, her parents, eldest sister, third sister and third brother-in-law would all give her money, but this money was different.

Although this money was given to her by her parents, it was the salary she received from working at Sanqiuye Hotel Company. It was the first money she earned in her life, so it was particularly memorable.

"Master, Master Niu is here too."

A few days ago, Ran Xiaoyi and the others left and returned to their respective jobs. The plan to go to Jinmen to inspect Jinmen's self-occupied building and commercial complex was once again put on the agenda.

Tomorrow morning, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping will take the rice dumplings, Ping Ping, and corn to Jinmen.

After having lunch and having nothing to do, Xu Jingping went to Zhiweilou Catering Company again, and Yang Yukun took the little rice dumplings and pushed Pingping and Little Corn to the master's house in Yanzhi Hutong.

Mr. Niu was drinking tea at the master's place. When Yang Yukun came over with three little guys, the two old men were playing chess.

"Master, Grandpa Niu." "Hey." Bao Baohou patted Xiao Zongzi's head and picked up Pingping and Xiao Yuzi: "Disciple, have you and those classmates from Jingping gone back?"

"They went back a few days ago. They are all teachers. Now that school has started, they have to go back to school to teach the students."

"I came all the way to the Imperial Capital to see you, but this friend didn't say anything."

"They are the sisters with the best relationship in Jingping, and their friendship is stronger than Jin."

"By the way, that guy Xiaohua said he would be back in two days."

"He called me. This guy is okay. He didn't embarrass me as a master."

A few days ago, Liu Yuehua won the all-around martial arts championship again at this year's national martial arts competition after last year.

Yesterday afternoon, this guy called him and told him that he, the master, would eat out in the next two days.

Mr. Niu said: "Xiaohua is really a good kid. He will participate in the National Games next, right?"

"Correct."

Next, this kid will represent the Imperial Capital in the Sixth National Games to be held in Southern Guangdong in November. I hope this kid can also achieve good results in the next National Games.

"Dad, Mr. Niu, Xiaokun."

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yunguang and Hou Su'e came back from the store.

The two carried their things into the house and found that Mr. Niu and Yang Yukun were also there.

The little zongzi greeted: "Uncle, aunt."

"Hey, little Zongzi, Pingping, and Little Corn, you're here too." Liu Yunguang said, "I bought an old hen, Mr. Niu, and Xiao Kun. I'll stay for dinner later and call Pingping over."

"Okay, I'll call her and ask her to come over in a moment."

"We brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time. We must have a few drinks soon."

"necessary."

"I'm going to make dinner."

Liu Yuehua carried his things to the kitchen and started busy preparing dinner.

Yang Yukun called Xu Jingping's office from his master's home phone number. After a while, the call was connected, and Yang Yukun asked her to come back directly to his master's house.

Putting down the phone, Yang Yukun continued to chat with his master and Mr. Niu.

About half an hour later, Xu Jingping arrived at the master's house in Yanzhi Hutong.

"Master, Master Niu, Sister Hou, brother-in-law."

"Jingping is here."

"Sit down for a while. Dinner will be ready soon. It can be served in half an hour at most."

"okay."

"mom!"

“Yeah yeah….”

"Pingping, little corn, come here, let mom hug you." Xu Jingping said to Yang Yukun, "Sister Xiaoli called me just now and asked me to go to her place for dinner. I said there are arrangements for today's dinner."

Not long after receiving Yang Yukun's call, Su Xiaoli's call came to Xu Jingping's office.

If Yang Yukun hadn't called her in advance, she would have gone to Su Xiaoli's place for dinner.

After coming over for a while, Liu Yunguang prepared dinner.

After having dinner at the master's house and staying for a while, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the three little guys and left from Rouge Alley with Mr. Niu.

At around nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the three little guys and set off for Jinmen. Three hours later, they arrived at the small courtyard in Jinmen.

After cleaning up the small yard inside and outside, taking out the quilt and drying it in the sun, the two of them took the three little ones to Boss Sun's house. (End of chapter)
