Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"You guys are all here, why are you buying so many things?"

"I prepared two jars of wine for you. These things are specialties we bought from Yanzhao, Qilu, Suwu, Anwan and other places. I brought some for you and Aunt Zhang to taste."

"Come inside."

"okay."

"Please sit anywhere. Don't be polite. I'll call Teacher Zhang and ask him to come back."

Teacher Zhou opened the door and invited Yang Yukun's family of five and Han Chunming's family of four into the house.

After putting the dishes in the kitchen, Teacher Zhou called Teacher Zhang and asked him to ask his son and daughter-in-law to come back home.

After receiving Teacher Zhou's call, Teacher Zhang returned home from his son and daughter-in-law's home about twenty minutes later.

"Xiaokun, Jingping, Xiaowu, you are really here."

"Aunt Zhang, long time no see."

"Aunt Zhang."

"Hello, Aunt Zhang. This is my wife Su Meng, my son Feifei, and my daughter Mengmeng."

"Hello, Aunt Zhang. Feifei, Mengmeng, call me grandma."

"Hello grandma."

"Little Zongzi, Pingping, Little Corn, this is Grandma Zhang, call me Grandma."

"Hello grandma, I'm Xiao Zongzi, and this is my brother Pingping and my sister Xiao Yumi."

Teacher Zhang said, "Hello, children. In the blink of an eye, your children have grown up so much. Teacher Zhou and I will soon be 70 years old."

Teacher Zhou said, "Teacher Zhang, I have already bought the vegetables and they are in the kitchen."

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, Xiao Wu, Xiao Su, please sit down first. I'm going to make dinner."

"Aunt Zhang, let me help you."

"Aunt Zhang, I'm here to help too."

Xu Jingping and Su Meng helped Teacher Zhang prepare dinner, while Yang Yukun and Han Chunming accompanied Teacher Zhou to drink tea and chat.

An hour and a half later, Teacher Zhang prepared dinner and asked everyone to move to the dining room. Yang Yukun and Han Chunming accompanied Teacher Zhou for two drinks.

After having dinner at Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhang's home and staying for more than an hour, Yang Yukun's family of five and Han Chunming's family of four said goodbye to Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhang.

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhang, we are leaving now. Please take care of your health. We will come back to visit you when we have the chance."

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, Xiao Wu, Xiao Su, please walk slowly."

"Goodbye, grandparents."

"Goodbye little ones, be good and listen to mommy and daddy."

"understood."

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhang, please stay. You don't have to see me off."

"Slow down, have a safe journey."

"it is good."

Yang Yukun asked Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhang to stay, and the group went out and downstairs to the hotel to meet up with Han Chunming and Mao Ditu.

Yang Yukun and Han Chunming drank a lot of wine and asked Xu Jingping and Su Meng to drive when they returned to the hotel.

"Xiao Kun, I want to go to Yuzhang to see Magnolia."

"just go."

"It doesn't seem to be going the right way."

"It's just a turn away. It won't take long anyway."

"Let's go to Yuzhang. What about Brother Xiaowu and the others?"

"We'll go back to the hotel and tell Xiao Wu and the others that if they don't want to go to Yuzhang with us, we'll ask them to wait for us in Fuzhou or Ganzhou ahead."

"it is good."

Now that he was in Jiangyou Province, Xu Jingping planned to go to Yuzhang to visit his old classmate Yao Yulan.

Otherwise, if Yao Yulan knew that she came to Jiangyou Province but didn't go to her house, she would definitely blame her later.

The sisters haven't gotten together for a long time, and Xu Jingping also wants to go see Zhu Jing, Ran Xiaoyi, Ming Xiaofen and others.

After a while, Yang Yukun's family of five and Han Chunming's family of four returned to the hotel and found that Yang Huajian's family of three and Mao Ditu's family of four were not in the room.

"I guess he's out for dinner and hasn't come back yet."

"I'll give Lao Yang a call and ask."

Han Chunming picked up his cell phone and called Yang Huajian, who had indeed gone out for dinner. Half an hour later, Yang Huajian's family and Mao Tutu's family returned to the hotel.

"Xiaokun, Chunming..."

"Brother Jian, Brother Tu..., you are back."

"After dinner, I walked outside for a while. How is the old friend of the Marquis?"

"The old couple are in good health. Brother Xiaowu, Brother Jian, Brother Tu...there is something I need to discuss with you."

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Jingping and I have a college classmate in Yuzhang. We are very close sisters. We plan to go to Yuzhang to see her tomorrow. Do you want to go with us to Yuzhang first, or should we split up and meet up in Fuzhou ahead?"

Yang Yukun told Han Chunming and the others that he and Xu Jingping would take the children and go to Yuzhang tomorrow.

If Han Chunming and his men did not go to Yuzhang with them, they would turn around and meet up in Fuzhou ahead, and then continue their journey to Nanyue.

"We should go and have a look." Yang Huajian said, "We are together, let's go to Yuzhang first, Chunming, what do you think of the map?"

Han Chunming said: "We are here just for fun, it would be nice to go to Yuzhang to see the Tengwang Pavilion."

Mao Ditu said, "Xiao Kun, you have to treat me later."

"No problem. When we get to Yuzhang tomorrow, I'll treat you to a feast at Zhiweilou Restaurant in Yuzhang."

The itinerary for tomorrow is set, and we will go to Yuzhang first.

They are a team, so naturally they have to act together.

The next morning, after breakfast in Jingdezhen, the team set off and headed straight for Yuzhang City, the capital of Jiangyou Province.

…………

After arriving in Yuzhang, the group first went to Zhiweilou Restaurant Yuzhang branch for lunch, and then went to arrange accommodation.

Han Chunming's family of four, Yang Huajian's family of three, and Mao Ditu's family of four went to visit Tengwang Pavilion, while Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi and went straight to Yao Yulan's house.

When the two men brought their children to Yao Yulan's home, Yao Yulan and her husband were not at home. They were received by Yao Yulan's parents-in-law, while the old couple was taking care of their grandchildren at home.

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, please sit down for a while. Yu Lan will be back soon."

"Row."

"Eat some fruit."

"Thank you, aunt."

Half an hour later, Yao Yulan returned home and received a call from her mother-in-law saying that Xu Jingping had arrived, so she postponed all the meetings she had scheduled for the afternoon.

"Jingping!"

"Magnolia!"

After nearly two years, the two sisters met again and were very excited.

The last time we met was in Qianzhou when we attended Ming Xiaofen’s wedding.

"Aunt Yulan."

"Hey, Xiao Zongzi, you have grown so tall. Pingping and Xiao Yumi are also this big."

"Aunt Yulan, I'm already in kindergarten."

"The little zongzi is awesome."

"whee……."

Yao Yulan said, "Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, why are you in Yuzhang? What are you doing here?"

Xu Jingping said, "We are traveling. We drove here from the imperial capital and were going to Yangcheng. We happened to pass by Jiangyou and came to Yuzhang to see you."

"Luckily you arrived in Yuzhang today, if it was tomorrow I would have gone out of town."

"Why are you going out of town?"

"Let's investigate. Go to Yichun next door."

"Okay, Boss Yao, we've expanded our business to other places."

"Compared to you guys, my actions are just a small one. You guys finally came to my house once, so you must stay at my house for a few more days this time."

"We are going on a self-driving autumn tour with Xiaowu and his friends this time. We will leave Yuzhang early tomorrow morning. You are busy too, so come back next time if you have the chance."

"That's fine. When I have time, I'll go to the capital to see you."

"it is good."

In the evening, Yao Yulan and her husband treated everyone to a meal at a time-honored Jiangxi restaurant, where they treated Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping's family of five to an authentic and delicious meal of Jiangyou cuisine. (End of this chapter)
