Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

When he arrived in Jingdezhen, Jiangyou Province, Yang Yukun planned to visit his master's old friend, Mr. Zhou, in Jingdezhen.

The family of five and Han Chunming's family of four first went to Teacher Zhou's house. After knocking on the door and no one answered, they went to the Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute nearby.

Teacher Zhou previously worked at the Jingdezhen Ceramics Research Institute and later went to teach at the Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute. Both he and his wife are teachers at the institute.

"This is Teacher Zhou's office. Teacher Zhou is in the office right now."

"Uncle, thank you, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome. Please go in and find Teacher Zhou. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"You're busy."

I met an uncle at the gate of the Ceramics College. He is also a teacher there.

Upon learning that they were here to see Teacher Zhou, they were taken to the door of Teacher Zhou's office.

Yang Yukun stood at the door and glanced into the office, and found that Teacher Zhou was writing furiously with his head down.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk..."

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Teacher Zhou answered without even looking up.

Yang Yukun winked at Han Chunming, walked into the office without saying a word, and just stood in front of Teacher Zhou's desk.

After a while, Teacher Zhou didn't hear any voice, so he stopped writing, looked up in confusion, and was slightly stunned.

"Xiaokun, Jingping, Xiaowu."

"Uncle Zhou, we haven't seen each other for a few years. Do you still remember us?"

"Why don't you remember? Why are you here?"

Although I have not met Yang Yukun and others many times, I was very impressed by their teacher Zhou. I never expected to meet some little guys whom I hadn't seen for many years in their school.

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "We came to see you. We just went to your house and you and Aunt Zhang were not at home."

"Your Aunt Zhang has been retired for several years. She now lives with her son and daughter-in-law, helping to take care of her grandson."

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhang has retired, so when will you retire?"

"I was supposed to retire two years ago, but was rehired by the school. I will work for two more years at most, and then I will really retire."

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhang, an elderly couple, were both retired and were staying at home to help their son and daughter-in-law take care of their children and enjoy their retirement.

Two years ago, the Ceramics College re-hired Teacher Zhou. Teacher Zhou planned to retire and go home in two years when he turned 70.

Han Chunming said: "Uncle Zhou, this is my wife Su Meng, my son Feifei and my daughter Mengmeng."

Su Meng said, "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

"Hello."

"Fei Fei, Meng Meng, call me grandpa."

"Hello grandpa."

"Hello, these two little guys, are they twins?"

"Yes, twins."

"No wonder they all look the same size."

Yang Yukun said: "Little Zongzi, Pingping, Little Corn, this is Grandpa Zhou."

"Hello grandpa."

"Hello, little ones." Teacher Zhou said, "Time flies. When you first came to Jingdezhen to buy porcelain, you were not married yet. Now, you have several children."

"Yes."

"Xiao Kun, how is your master? Is he in good health?"

"My master is in very good health. He runs three kilometers every day, writes books, and invites his friends to drink tea and play chess when he has free time."

"Some time ago, your master called me to show off that his grandson won an Olympic gold medal. Your master's grandson is also your apprentice, right?" "Yes, Uncle Zhou. The master can only lead you into the door, but the practice depends on yourself. Xiaohua was able to win the Olympic boxing gold medal because of his own efforts. It has little to do with me, the master."

"I will officially retire in two years. Take some time to go and have some tea with your master. We are both old. As the saying goes, it is rare for a person to live to be seventy. I don't know how long I can live."

"Uncle Zhou, you can live to be at least 120 years old."

"Why live so long? I just hope I can be healthy and have a peaceful death when I'm old."

"How about this, Uncle Zhou, I'll call my master and you two can have a chat."

Yang Yukun picked up the mobile phone and called his master.

the other side.

The imperial capital, the old city, Qianmen Tower, and Yanzhi Hutong.

After lunch, Hou Polan, Uncle Guan, Uncle Niu, and Cai Quanwu sat together drinking tea and chatting.

A relative from Sima Tai's family came to pick up her daughter-in-law, so Xu Huizhen and He Lixia went back to Sima Tai's family early this morning to attend the wedding banquet.

Huafeng Company had some matters to deal with, so Cai Quanwu did not go to Simatai with Xu Huizhen.

After finishing the company's affairs in the morning, I happened to meet Uncle Guan and Uncle Niu when I returned to Qianmenlou. I followed the two old men to the Polan Hou family to have lunch.

Marquis Paola asked, "Quanwu, have Xiaokun and Jingping arrived in Yangcheng?"

"He called me a while ago and said he was still in Tai'an, having climbed Mount Tai. He probably hasn't reached Guangzhou yet. He will definitely call me when he gets there."

A few days ago, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen received a call from their second daughter and son-in-law, who said that they were in Tai'an and staying at the Taishan branch of the Sanqiuye Hotel. They planned to climb Mount Tai to enjoy the view during the Double Ninth Festival.

My second daughter and her son-in-law went on a self-driving tour to southern Guangdong. Every time they arrived at a place, they would stroll around the local area and taste the local food, so they walked very slowly.

I guess he hasn't arrived in Guangzhou yet, otherwise he would have called back a long time ago.

As for where his second daughter and second son-in-law were at this time, he really had no idea.

"Ding ding ding..."

Niu Ye reminded: "Lord Hou, your phone is ringing."

"Disciple?"

Hou Polan answered the phone and heard his disciple's voice.

In the previous second, I was still talking about where my disciple and his group had gone, and in the next second, my disciple called me.

"Master, it's me. Can you guess where I am now?"

"where?"

"Jing De Town Pottery School."

"Where is Lao Zhou?"

When he heard that his disciple was at Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute, Hou Polan immediately guessed that the boy must have gone to see Lao Zhou.

"Yes, we arrived in Jingdezhen at noon today to visit Uncle Zhou. Let Uncle Zhou tell you."

After the call was connected, Yang Yukun handed the phone to Teacher Zhou and let the two brothers talk.

The two brothers chatted for more than 40 minutes. When they learned that their father-in-law was with the master, Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping and the children chatted with their father-in-law for a while. Han Chunming chatted with Uncle Guan for another ten minutes.

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, Xiao Wu, Xiao Su, let's go to my house first."

"Mr. Zhou, do you have no class this afternoon?"

"Yes, the school took my age into consideration and arranged two classes for me in the morning after I was rehired. Let's go buy some groceries first, and then ask your Aunt Zhang to come back and cook dinner."

"it is good."

After leaving Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute, Yang Yukun's family of five and Han Chunming's family of four first accompanied Teacher Zhou to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

The vegetable market was not far away, and the group walked with the old man.

Yang Yukun and Han Chunming did not drive the car, which was still parked downstairs of Teacher Zhou's house. The things were also in the car. They would go back to buy groceries and then carry them upstairs. (End of this chapter)
