Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

The father-in-law and mother-in-law haven't come back yet, so Yang Yukun went to make dinner first.

When he was about to finish dinner, his father-in-law and mother-in-law came home from the Sanqiuye Hotel Company.

After a while, Han Chunming and Su Meng brought Feifei and Mengmeng over to find Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping.

Several people went to call Fan Xiaojun and went to the front store of Jubanxian Restaurant together.

"Lao Yang, map, Tao Zi, why are you squatting by the door? Why don't you go in?"

"Waiting for you."

"Where are Xiaoxing and the others?"

"It's in the private room upstairs."

"Let's go upstairs."

Han Chunming ordered the kitchen to serve the food, and then the group went to the private room upstairs.

Meng Xiaoxing, Meng Xiaozao, and Guan Xiaoguan were chatting in the box with their children. After they met, they exchanged a few words, and soon the food and drinks were served.

"Brothers, come on, pick up your wine glasses. Let's drink one first."

"Walk."

"Brother, I thought it would be some time before you came back. Maps and I planned to go to Yangcheng to find you in a few days."

"Uncle Su Meng's house is hosting a banquet tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I can't do it until I come back. Why are you two going to Yangcheng?"

"Something happened at the trading company. We'll go over there to take care of it and come back in a few days."

"When will it be over?"

"In two days."

"Come, drink."

"One bite."

"Done."

"Brothers, do you have any plans for dinner later?"

"What are Boss Mao's plans?"

"Shall we sing?"

"Okay."

"The wine glasses are empty. Fill them with wine."

"Okay, buddy, I'll fill it up for you."

An hour later, the meal ended and the group came out of the front store of Jubanxian Restaurant.

Mao Tu invited everyone to sing, and the group then went to the Xidan karaoke store.

Pingping and Xiaoyu were still young and couldn't stand the noisy environment of karaoke. After a while, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took Xiaozongzi and left Pingping and Xiaoyu first, allowing Han Chunming and the others to continue singing.

It's still early.

After coming out of Xidan Karaoke Store, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the three little guys to play in the square for a while before going home.

the next day.

The 17th day of the eighth lunar month.

After making breakfast for Xu Jingping and the others early in the morning, Yang Yukun went to Uncle Su Meng's house, and the neighbors who helped came over one after another.

According to the number of neighbors in the alley, a list is made and people are arranged to purchase ingredients, condiments and other things.

Xu Jingping wanted to take Pingping and Xiaoyu, but Yang Yukun didn't arrange any work for her this time.

After arranging everything properly, Yang Yukun went home and took a look at Xu Jingping and the three little guys. Then they took the three little guys to uncle Su Meng's house.

"Boss Liu, congratulations."

"Thank you, Madaro, Mu Linai, you are welcome. Find a place to sit by yourself. Don't be offended if the reception is not good."

"Xiao Kun, look, Lao Ma and Mu Lin'ai are here too."

"Xiaokun, Jingping."

"Lao Ma, Mu Linai, why are you two here?"

"Boss Liu is so rich that he invites the neighbors to have a dinner. We are also members of the alley, so we came over to see if there is anything we need help with."

Yesterday, when they came back from their hometown in Milijian, Maroda and Mu Linai learned that Uncle Su Meng was blessed with a daughter and was going to hold a banquet for the neighbors to eat for free. How could such a lively event not be without them, so they naturally wanted to come over. Ask for a wedding drink.

"There's nothing I can do to help. You two can just wait and eat."

"That's not okay. Everyone is helping. It's not good for the two of us to do nothing. You are the chief manager, please arrange something for us to do."

"Okay, let's do this. Lao Ma, you can help set up the seats and benches and put away the dishes. Mu Lin loves you and help wash and chop the vegetables."

"it is good."

"Go."

Madaro and Mu Linai insisted on asking him to help arrange something, so Yang Yukun arranged for Madaro to help with chores and Mu Linai to help in the kitchen.

For two consecutive days on August 17th and 18th, everyone ate at Uncle Su Meng’s house.

After dinner on the eighteenth day, Yang Yukun arranged for the neighbors to return all the tables, chairs, benches and other items that should be returned to the neighbors.

"Xiao Kun, you've worked hard these past two days. You can take these two bottles of wine back to drink, and you can take back these two cigarettes to smoke."

"Thank you, Boss Liu." "Come over for tea when you have time. I know you like drinking black tea. I have the best Qihong here."

"Okay, let's go."

After finishing their work, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the three little guys and prepared to go home.

Uncle Su Meng brought him two bottles of Feitian Maotai and two peonies. Yang Yukun didn't smoke but didn't refuse. He could give them to others later.

…………

Today is Saturday.

Not long after Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping returned home with their small rice dumplings, Heping Ping, and Xiao Maize, Xu Jingping and He Lixia returned home.

When she came back this time, He Lixia also brought Chen Qingming over.

Yang Yukun said: "There is no cooking at home tonight. We will eat at Boss Liu's house. You can go to the restaurant to eat."

Xu Jingping asked: "Xiaoxia, have you eaten?"

"Nope."

He Xiaoxia had just come back not long ago, and she hadn't eaten dinner yet.

"Come on, let's go to a restaurant."

"Fifth sister, can I eat Sucai if I want to?"

"Of course. Come on, let's go to Zhiweilou Restaurant Wangfujing to eat."

"Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law, have gone to dinner."

"Qingming, let's go."

Chen Qingming said: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, let's go have dinner first."

Yang Yukun said: "Go quickly."

"Get in the car, let's go."

Xu Jingtian greeted a few people to get on the bus, and then went straight to Zhiweilou Restaurant Wangfujing store.

There was no cooking at home tonight, and they were too lazy to do it themselves, so it was more convenient for them to go to a restaurant.

"Uncle Kun, auntie."

"Feifei and Mengmeng are here to play with Sister Zongzi?"

"Uncle Kun, where is Sister Xiaozongzi?"

"It's in the house."

"Sister Xiaozongzi."

"Feifei, Mengmeng, I'm here."

Feifei and Mengmeng came over to play with Zongzi. Yang Yukun told the two little guys that Zongzi was in her room, and the two little guys ran to the house to look for Zongzi.

An hour later, Xu Jingtian and others returned from dinner at Zhiweilou Restaurant Wangfujing.

"Qingming, do you smoke?"

"Third brother-in-law, I smoke less, but I smoke a little occasionally."

"I'll give you these two cigarettes. You can take them back and smoke them."

"Third brother-in-law, I can't have this. You can keep it for yourself."

"I don't smoke, your third uncle doesn't smoke either, and my master doesn't smoke either. If you leave it here, it will get moldy."

Uncle Su Meng brought two peonies to Yang Yukun. He didn't smoke, and neither did his father-in-law nor the master.

Since Chen Qingming wants to smoke, these two peonies will be given to him.

"Thank you, third brother-in-law."

"You're welcome. You'll be staying in the west wing soon. The bed is already made."

"okay."

"busy lately?"

"It's okay, not very busy."

"You will graduate from college in less than a year. After graduation, do you plan to continue your studies or directly join the workforce?"

"Third brother-in-law, I haven't thought about this yet."

"Are you and Lixia planning to get married after graduating from college?"

"My parents hope that Lixia and I will get married soon. They said they would come to the Imperial Capital to visit Lixia's parents and three aunts and uncles in a while."

"You tell me when they are coming and I will pick them up."

"Okay third brother-in-law, I will tell you as soon as the time is set."

"OK……."

Yang Yukun and Chen Qingming chatted all the time until about ten o'clock in the evening.

After breakfast the next morning, Yang Yukun went to Zhiwei Liquor Company. Ji Dong reported to him the sales of this year's zodiac wine and one-year-old wine.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhiwei Liquor officially launched this year's zodiac wine and one-year-old wine. All 30,000 bottles of the zodiac wine for the Year of the Ding Mao and Rabbit were sold out in two days, and a lot of the newly launched one-year-old wine was also sold. (End of chapter)
