Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Dongling Mountain, located in Qingshui Town, Mentougou, the imperial capital, is the highest peak in the imperial capital, with an altitude of more than 2,300 meters. It is known as the Everest of Western Beijing.

At six o'clock in the morning, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took Xiao Zongzi, Heping Ping, and Xiao Maize from home. It took three and a half hours to travel more than 100 kilometers and arrived at the foot of Dongling Mountain at 9:30 in the morning.

There were quite a few people who came to climb the mountain, but like the two adults who came to climb the mountain with three little babies, they didn't see any of them.

Along the way, the family of five attracted many people's attention.

"Dad, I can't walk anymore."

"Come on baby, get on daddy's back, daddy will carry you."

Yang Yukun squatted down and let the little zongzi come onto his back.

This girl was still young. She couldn't climb up more than a hundred meters before she couldn't climb anymore.

Xu Jingping said: "Xiao Kun, let me carry the little rice dumplings."

"It's okay. It's not like you don't know about my physical abilities, but can you do it?"

Yang Yukun held Pingping and Xiaoyu in his left and right hands, carried small rice dumplings on his back, and hung a large luggage bag around his neck. His face was neither red nor out of breath, and his breathing was unusually steady.

With his physical fitness, let alone this little thing, he can run back and forth on Dongling Mountain, which is only more than 2,000 meters long, in an hour, even if he carries a heavy load of three to four hundred kilograms.

"The small Dongling Mountain is only 2,300 meters long, so you can take it easy."

Xu Jingping's physical fitness is not bad. It's just a hillside of more than 2,000 meters. How difficult is it to climb up?

"It's okay. If you can't climb anymore after a while, I will carry you up."

"Who said I can't crawl anymore? Look at me, Xiao Kunzi, can you catch up with me?"

"Run slower and pay attention to your rhythm. You will get tired quickly if you keep running like this."

"call……."

"You're tired. Don't listen to me. There are sticks there that can be used as hiking poles."

"I need hiking poles, kidding, I don't use them."

"Little Zongzi, your mother is so stubborn. She won't be able to crawl anymore and we won't wait for her."

"Hehe... Come on daddy."

"it is good."

Yang Yukun quickened his pace and soon caught up with Xu Jingping, who couldn't rush forward. The family of five slowly climbed up, admiring the scenery along the way.

"Daughter-in-law, do you want to take a rest?"

After climbing three to four hundred meters, Yang Yukun found that Xu Jingping was a little out of breath.

"No, go ahead."

Xu Jingping waved his hand and continued to move upward.

"alright."

Yang Yukun followed up with Xiao Zongzi, Ping Ping and Xiao Maize. On the way, a family of five passed several waves of people and reached about a thousand meters in one breath.

Seeing that Xu Jingping still had no intention of resting, the family continued upward.

Little Zongzi climbed on his father's back and kept shouting cheers for his parents. Pingping and Little Corn also babbling and clapping their hands.

As the altitude continues to rise, the scenery along the way is constantly changing.

Due to the strong wind and thin soil from above 1,700 meters above sea level to the top of the mountain, a sub-alpine meadow dominated by nasturtium, buttercup and other herbaceous plants is formed.

At this time, Xu Jingping had a large-leaf ash branch picked up around 1,200 meters away and used it as a hiking pole.

On the other hand, Yang Yukun was still breathless and his heart was not beating, with a calm and relaxed look on his face.

"Dad, Mom, look, what kind of bird is that?"

"That's a brown-eared pheasant."

"Is it tasty?"

"Baby, you really asked Daddy this question. Daddy has never eaten it. Daddy doesn't know whether it tastes good or not."

"call……."

"Daughter-in-law, do you want to take a rest?"

"If you don't take a break, you have to climb to the top all at once when climbing a mountain. Once you stop to rest, your breath will be gone and you will be even more tired. Climb to the top and rest."

Xu Jingping exhaled a breath, glanced at the top of the mountain, and continued to climb up with a hiking pole.

It was indeed tiring to climb up to this point in one breath, but she didn't want to stop and rest.

Once you sit down, you don’t want to stand up again, you have to climb up in one breath. There is only a little more than 600 meters left, and we must win it in one go.

"Dude, you're awesome."

"Young man, you are so awesome. You brought three children to climb a mountain."

"Brother, you are still awesome, phew...I'm exhausted."

"Young people have good physical fitness. I think it was the same when I was young. I was as good as when I was young."

"boast."

"Who are you bragging? Back then we were fighting against the Mi Li Jian Japanese..."

The family of five once again overtook the groups of people who were resting on the way. When they saw Yang Yukun and his three children climbing to this position, they didn't even take a breath. They all gave a thumbs up and said, "We're awesome."

"Phew, finally here!"

"Daughter-in-law, how do you feel?"

"It's okay. How about it, Xiao Kunzi? It's just Dongling Mountain. Can you do whatever you want?"

"Classmate Xu Jingping, you are very powerful. You conquered Dongling Mountain, the highest peak in the imperial capital."

"Am I awesome."

"Daughter-in-law, you are awesome. Not to mention Dongling Mountain, I think you can even climb Mount Everest."

"That is."

"Stand here, I'll take a photo of you to commemorate it, little Zongzi, Pingping, and Little Corn, take a photo with your mother."

After reaching the top, Yang Yukun put down the small rice dumplings, handed Ping Ping and the small corns to Xu Jingping, and took some photos of the four of them as souvenirs.

"Come on, wife, let's go over there."

Yang Yukun took Pingping and Xiaoyu and let Xiaozongzi go on his own. The family of five walked around the peak for a while and found a place with a good view to sit and rest.

Starting from the foot of the mountain at 9:30, a family of five climbed to the top of the mountain in just one hour.

"Nothing is difficult in this world. As long as you are willing to climb, you will reach the top and see all the mountains at a glance!"

"Daughter-in-law, water."

After taking a rest, Yang Yukun handed the kettle to Xu Jingping.

Then take out the food, drinks and other things you brought and put them on the table. While climbing up to look at the distance, you can't miss the delicious food.

"Daughter-in-law, come here, let me feed you."

Yang Yukun rolled up a piece of roast duck and fed it to Xu Jingping.

"Still warm!"

"I specially took measures to keep it warm, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold. Try your favorite roast goose."

After Yang Yukun prepared the hot vegetables and other items, he put them in the portable planting space.

What you put in is what you take out, so the hot dishes you bring are still warm.

"Dad, I want to eat too."

"Baby, when you grow up, you can't let your parents feed you anymore. You have to do it yourself. You have enough food and clothing. You have to pick up your bowls and chopsticks yourself and pick up whatever you want to eat."

"You just fed mommy."

"Your mother is my wife. You are still young and you don't understand even if I tell you. You will understand when you grow up."

“Yeah yeah….”

"Ping Ping, little corn, you two want to eat it too, but you are too young to eat it now."

“Yeah yeah….”

"Yes, you can eat it when you grow up."

"Xiao Kun, when we have time, we will also climb some other mountains in the Imperial Capital."

"Okay, if you want to go, then go."

Using the cover of his backpack, Yang Yukun took out a one-pound jar of Eight Immortals Drunk from his portable planting space, opened it and poured himself a bowl.

On the ninth day of September, climb high and drink.

Now that we have delicious food, we can’t do without fine wine. (End of chapter)
