Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"This is my home. We are home. Xiaokun, please come in."

Valery parked the car in the yard in front of his house and called Yang Yukun into the house.

Hearing the movement in the yard, an old man who looked about sixty years old came out of the house.

"Xiao Kun, let me introduce to you, this is my father, old Valery."

"Hello, old Uncle Valery, I am Yang Yukun."

"Hello young man, Natalia has talked about you a lot. You are welcome to be a guest at home."

Old Valery looked at Yang Yukun and greeted him into the house with a smile.

Every time his daughter Natalia came back, she would tell them about some of the things she had experienced in the Xia Kingdom. Every time she chatted with them, she would mention Bashahou, Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping and other friends in the Xia Kingdom.

They are mentioned even in my daily letters to my family.

After learning that Yang Yukun had come to the Port of the Five Seas again, old Valery asked Valery to invite him to his home as a guest.

"Old Uncle Valery, your Xia Guoxiang is really good."

Yang Yukun was quite surprised when he heard that old Valery spoke very fluently in Xia Guohua.

If it weren't for the other person's face, he would have thought he was facing a Chinese at this moment.

Although Valery can also speak Xia dialect, he is far from as fluent as old Valery.

"I have been interested in Xia culture since I was a child, and later I went to Xia to stay for many years. Our whole family can speak Xia dialect, and I taught them all."

Because he was very interested in Xia culture, old Valery learned Xia dialect since he was a child.

Later, the Bear Country came to the aid of the Xia Country, and he went to the Xia Country as a member of the Bear Country expert team and stayed in the Xia Country for several years.

But later, due to various reasons, the relationship between Mao Xiong and Xia was at loggerheads, and the experts who assisted Xia were withdrawn. Therefore, he left Xia and returned to the Port of the Five Seas.

"Old Uncle Valery, this is the wine I brewed myself and brought here from the Xia Kingdom. These fruits are also brought here from the Xia Kingdom."

Yang Yukun put wine and fruits on the table.

"The wine made by Xiaokun is very delicious, no worse than our vodka, and these fruits are also very delicious. It is difficult to buy such fresh fruits in the Port of the Five Seas."

Yesterday Yang Yukun went to see him and brought him several jars of wine and some fruits.

Those jars of wine and fruit had already entered the stomachs of Valery and his brothers.

Old Valery said: "Xiao Kun, thank you for your gift."

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "You're welcome."

"Dad, where are my mother and Zilberstein?"

Old Valery was the only one at home. His mother and daughter-in-law were not at home, so Valery asked them where they were.

Didn't I say that there were guests at home today and they said they wouldn't go out in the morning?

"They said they were going to the mall to buy some things and would be back soon."

"Xiao Kun, drink water."

"Thank you."

Next, Yang Yukun and Valery and his son chatted about each other, and most of the time it was old Valery who asked questions.

This old comrade is quite concerned about Xia Guo and always asks about things about Xia Guo.

Yang Yukun chatted with old Valery from the south to the north, and then discussed the current international situation.

After a while, Valery's mother and wife came back, and after meeting, they exchanged pleasantries again.

Valery's wife, Maria, is a professor at the National University of the Bears, and his wife, Zilberstein, is a pianist and a teacher at the Five Seas Conservatory of Music.

Valery also has a seven-year-old son. The little boy went to school and was not at home.

…………

"Xiao Kun, come and try my skills."

"Valery, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. I think it's a pity that you're not a chef." Noon.

Valery personally cooked a table of traditional Mao Xiong dishes.

After tasting it, Yang Yukun gave a thumbs up and praised Valery.

To be fair, Valery's cooking skills are indeed pretty good.

"I'm not bragging to you, but just being a chef is fine. My dream is to be a general who can strategize and command thousands of troops. Cooking is just a small hobby of mine."

Valery's dream since childhood was to be a general, so when he grew up, he went to military school and served in the army.

"Here's a toast to you, and I hope you realize your wish soon."

"Thank you."

"Uncle Valery, Aunt Maria, sister-in-law, I would like to toast you too, thank you for your hospitality."

"Good wine."

"Next time I come to the Port of the Five Seas, I will bring you a few more altars."

"it is good."

Valery and his family have other things to do in the afternoon. Valery has to go back to his station, old Valery has to go to work, and Maria and Zilberstein have to go back to the schools where they teach.

After lunch, Yang Yukun said goodbye to Valery, and Valery took him back to the National Hotel.

"Xiao Kun, I can't come to see you off tonight. I wish you a safe journey."

"You are busy with your business. There is no need to send it away. Whatever you bring to Natalia, I will hand it over to her as soon as possible when we return to the Imperial Capital."

"sorry to bother you."

"You're out of town, okay? Go and do your work. We'll see you later."

"Next time you come to the Port of the Five Seas, be sure to contact me as soon as possible."

"Row."

Yang Yukun waved his hand and watched Valery leave.

After checking that there was no one around, he put the two large bags of things that the Valery family had asked him to bring to Natalia into the portable planting space.

After Valery left, Yang Yukun did not enter the National Hotel, but drove Bakayev's Seagull car to Bakayev's bar.

When Bakayev was not found in the bar, Yang Yukun handed the keys to the bar staff and took a taxi back to the National Hotel.

As for the tons of fresh fruits placed in the portable planting space, he is too lazy to use them to make jam and fruit bars, or to feed chickens, ducks, geese, fish, sheep and hairy crabs.

"Brother Xiao Wu, Brother Jian, Brother Tu, wake up."

Back in the room, Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, and Mao Tutu had woken up.

Han Chunming asked: "Xiao Kun, what are you doing?"

"Go find Bakayev and return the car."

"Just fool the brothers. Bakayev came to see you just now. Tell me honestly, did he go to see some girls from the Bear Country behind your back?"

Just an hour ago, Bakayev came to see Yang Yukun at the National Hotel.

You said you were going to find Bakayev to return the car. Isn't this just telling lies and treating them like fools?

"Look for a girl from Hammer Bear Country. I met Valery as soon as I left the house. I went to his house for lunch before leaving. I just went to Bakayev's bar. Bakayev was not here. I'll leave the key in the bar. came back."

Yang Yukun glanced at Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, and Mao Tutu. These guys actually suspected that he was looking for the chick from Mao Xiong Country, thinking that he was them.

Yang Huajian said: "No kidding, we will arrange the loading of goods later."

"Row."

In the afternoon, a group of people went to arrange the goods to be put on the train. After everything was done, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening. (End of chapter)
