Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Children, say goodbye to grandpa and grandma and Uncle Chen and Aunt Xiaoli."

"Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma, goodbye, Uncle Chen, goodbye, Aunt Xiaoli."

"Goodbye."

"Brother Feihong, we are leaving now. When you visit the capital in the future, I will take you to see Tiananmen Square."

"it is good."

"Uncle Cai, Auntie, Uncle Chen, Auntie, please take care of yourselves. Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, we will leave first."

"We are going to the capital to attend a wedding banquet on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month. I will call you when we arrive."

"Sister Xiaoli, call me in advance when you go to the capital, and I will pick you up at the airport."

"it is good."

"Feihong, you have to listen to your parents and grandparents."

"Uncle Kun, I'm obedient."

"gone."

After breakfast and saying goodbye to Cai Xiaoli’s family, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the little ones straight to the Coconut City Port and boarded the ferry to Xuwen, South Guangdong.

After getting on the boat, Yang Yukun called Zhang Bei and told him that they were returning to Yangcheng.

At 8:30 in the morning, the ferry docked at Xuwen Port. Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the children and rushed to Guangzhou without stopping. They returned to their eldest sister and brother-in-law's home at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Today is November 20th. They left on October 16th. It has been more than a month since they set out from the capital for an autumn self-driving tour. The autumn tour has turned into a winter tour.

There are only two and a half months left until the Chinese New Year. Next, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping will take the children to Spring City in southern Yunnan to visit Zhu Jing, to Shicheng in Sichuan to visit Peng Jianguo, and to Qianzhou in Hunan to visit Ming Xiaofen.

It is estimated that by the time they return to the imperial capital, there will only be a few days left before the Chinese New Year.

After returning to their eldest sister and brother-in-law's house, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping went to buy some specialties from South Guangdong.

I bought these specialties in Nanyue a few days ago and planned to give them to Zhu Jing, Peng Jianguo, Ming Xiaofen and others. When I go to Qiongzhou Island, I will bring them to Zhang Bei and Cai Xiaoli.

"Third Aunt, Third Uncle, you are back!"

Cai Zhen returned home from school and was very excited to see her third aunt and uncle at home.

He also wanted to go to Qiongzhou Island with his third aunt and uncle, but unfortunately he had to go to school.

"It's time to go home from school. Why are you dressed like this again? Go wash your face and go to your uncle Wang's house for dinner later."

"Okay, Third Aunt, Third Uncle, where are Xiao Zongzi and the others?"

"Cousin, we are here."

Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi and Hou Li were watching TV in the house.

"Little Zongzi, turn off the TV. Let's go to Uncle Wang's house for dinner."

"Good dad."

"Let's go."

After returning to Yangcheng, Yang Yukun called Wang Aiguo, who asked them to come to his home for dinner in the evening.

After Cai Zhen came back from school, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the little ones straight to Wang Aiguo's home.

"Uncle Wang."

"Uncle Wang, we are here."

"Hey, there are fruits and candies on the table, help yourself."

"It smells so good, Uncle Wang, what delicious food are you making?"

"White-cut chicken."

"Old Wang."

"Here you are. How was your trip to Qiongzhou Island?"

"not bad."

"You said you would be back in two or three days, but you took four or five."

"Plans can't keep up with changes. We were planning to come back yesterday, but Xiaoli and her husband wouldn't let us go and insisted on keeping us for dinner."

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, we'll set off right after breakfast. We'll have to go to southern Yunnan, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei next. If we delay any further, it will be the New Year."

"It's still a long way to go before the Chinese New Year." "Today is October 12th, there are still two and a half months left, when do you plan to go back?"

"The company will be on holiday around the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. The exact date has not been determined yet. I estimate that we will be back around the 27th or 28th."

"I'll go back on the 27th or 28th, and come back on the 7th or 8th. I'll stay at home for about ten days."

"I can't help it. I also want to stay at home for a while. The company is busy. After the New Year, I will discuss with the old man and the old lady and bring them to Yangcheng to live for a while."

"Will Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang come?"

"I'll find a way to trick them here. They're retired now anyway, so they don't have much to do at home. I'll take them out to relax. If they can't get used to staying here, I'll send them back."

"That's a good idea. Be careful. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang will beat you up if they find out you lied to them."

"Let's coax them over first. Maybe after they stay here for a while, they'll get used to life here. Then I won't have to worry about being too far away to take care of them."

"Right."

"Bring out the dishes and serve the rice for dinner."

"Got it."

Yang Yukun brought the dishes to the table, put rice in a bowl, and took two wine glasses.

"By the way, I bought those things this afternoon. The ones I bought before were taken to the factory as employee benefits."

"Brother, we'll load it up in a bit and leave for southern Yunnan early tomorrow morning."

"Come, drink."

"Walk."

"Have Xiaowu and the others arrived in the imperial capital?"

"No, I'll call and ask later."

Han Chunming and his companions returned to the imperial capital on the morning of the 14th. Today is the 20th, so they should have arrived in the imperial capital by now.

After dinner, I will call Han Chunming to ask about the situation.

…………

"Brothers, sisters, children, in another hour, we will reach Sijiu City."

"Finally home."

"I have already called the front store of Jubanxian Restaurant. The meal is ready. Let's go to the restaurant to have dinner later."

"Row."

"I don't know where Xiaokun and the others are right now?"

"I guess they are in Chuncheng. Aren't they going to Chuncheng to visit their classmates?"

"Why don't you just give him a call and ask? I'll call him."

It took more than 20 days to get from the imperial capital to Guangzhou, stopping and starting along the way.

After returning from Guangzhou this time, Han Chunming's family of four, Yang Huajian's family of three, and Mao Ditu's family of four entered the imperial capital in just six days.

At this moment, Han Chunming and his group were on their way back to Sijiu City. It was expected that they would be back in Sijiu City in about an hour.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Hello, hello, it's you, Xiaokun. I was just about to call you."

Han Chunming picked up his cell phone and was about to call Yang Yukun to ask where Yang Yukun's family of five was at the moment, but he didn't expect Yang Yukun to call him.

"Brother Xiaowu, have you arrived in the imperial capital?"

"We'll be there soon. We'll be home in another hour. Where are you now? Have you arrived in Spring City?"

"We are still in Yangcheng. We just had dinner at Lao Wang's place."

"Still in Yangcheng. Didn't you say you were going to Chuncheng on the 15th? Why are you still in Yangcheng?"

"Lao Zhang opened a branch of Mona Lisa Photo Studio in Coconut City. We went to Coconut City for a few days and just came back from Coconut City this afternoon. We will go to Spring City early tomorrow morning."

"Old Yang and I, the map just said that you were probably in Spring City, but I didn't expect you were actually in Yang City."

"If we hadn't gone to Qiongzhou Island, we would have arrived in Spring City by now."

After dinner, Yang Yukun called Han Chunming.

It is much closer to go from Yangcheng to Chuncheng than from Yangcheng to the capital. If they had not changed their plan to go to Qiongzhou Island, they should be enjoying the evening breeze by the Dianchi Lake in Chuncheng. (End of this chapter)
