Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"By the way, map. Have you finished taking the kidney-tonifying medicine that the old Chinese doctor at Guang'anmen Hospital prescribed? Is it effective?"

"Old Yang, stop talking nonsense. When did I ever go to Guang'anmen Hospital to ask an old Chinese doctor to prescribe kidney-tonifying medicine?"

"On the third day after our self-driving tour, you were boiling medicine at home. Keep making excuses."

"I just had a cold, I made some cold medicine, stop slandering me."

"Do you think I believe it? If it works, I'll introduce the old Chinese doctor to Chunming."

"Old Yang, it's enough for you to make fun of the map, why are you dragging it into me?"

"We went on a self-driving trip to climb Mount Tai before, and you two were as tired as your grandsons."

"You are not weak. If you were not weak, why didn't I see you being the first to reach the top?"

"My buddy and Xiao Kun carried Xiao Wanzi and the others on their backs, but you two reached the top empty-handed. And you still say you two are not inferior, right, Xiao Kun?"

"Brother Xiaowu, Brother Tu, Brother Jian is right. You two should find an old Chinese doctor to see you."

"Chunming, beat these two guys up."

"Stop making trouble. A gentleman should speak with his mouth, not with his fists. We are carrying something, so don't drop the lamb rack."

"hey-hey……."

Looking at Yang Yukun and the others bickering and joking with each other, Fan Xiaojun couldn't get a word in and could only laugh along.

Given the relationship between Yang Yukun and Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Map, there is no problem in making fun of each other.

But his relationship with Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu was more distant, so he naturally couldn't make such a joke like them.

"Whose car is this?"

Seeing several cars parked in front of Yang Yukun's house, Han Chunming asked.

Mao Tutu said: "Look at the license plate, it's a car from a foreign embassy."

"This car is driven by Natalia, this is Teacher Peng's car, and this is Fengzi's car."

Yang Yukun saw two more cars at the door and knew that Peng Tao, Yang Feng and others had arrived.

"Brother Jian, move a little to the left, don't hang the car."

"Got it."

"Master, you are back."

"Xiaohua, when did you come here?"

Seeing his disciple Liu Yuehua running out of the living room, Yang Yukun didn't expect this kid to come.

"I just arrived. The team is on holiday today, so I came to see you and Master's wife."

"Xiaohua, you are back."

"Uncle Xiaowu, Uncle Jian, Uncle Tu, Uncle Jun, I'm here to lend you a hand."

"It's all dusty, don't get your clothes dirty."

"It's okay, Uncle Jian, just wash your clothes if they're dirty."

Liu Yuehua took the roasted lamb rack from Yang Huajian, and together with the master, carried the roasted lamb rack to the yard.

After putting down the roasted lamb rack, Yang Yukun called on his disciples to carry out their own roasted lamb rack from the utility room.

“Xiao Kun, Xiao Wu Ge, Jian Ge, Tu Ge, Xiao Jun.”

"Teacher Peng is here."

"You have to come for the big meal, buddy."

"Uncle Kun, Xiaowu..."

"Great grandfather, Mr. Han..."

"My nephew, Fengzi, Xiaoxue, Xiaoli, and Xiaohao are all here. Where is my great-great-grandson?"

"My great-grandmother is with her."

"Stand aside, be careful not to get splashed with water."

Yang Yukun asked everyone to stand aside and rinse the two roasted lamb racks.

"Master, let me do it."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. You haven't used it for a while, so please wash it clean."

"clear."

Liu Yuehua took the brush from the master and started brushing the roasted lamb rack.

"Don't stand outside. It's very cold. Come inside and warm yourself by the fire."

"Grandpa, the sun is out today, so it's not that cold."

"You're not afraid of the cold, right? Then I'll give you a task. Go to the utility room and take out the tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks and wash them. We'll need them for dinner later."

Yang Yukun asked Yang Feng and the others to go to the utility room to take out the tables, chairs, benches, and dishes and wash them, in case there were not enough chairs to sit on when everyone came over later, and they would also be used for dinner.

There are often small gatherings at home, and dozens of people come at a time. There are not enough tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks at home. So Yang Yukun specially prepared ten sets of eight-immortal tables, chairs and bowls and chopsticks, which can be used every time there is a small gathering, and there is no need to worry about not having enough tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks.

"Xiao Kun."

"Teacher Yi, you are here, you are alone, where are Teacher Li, Pengcheng, and Peilan?"

"Teacher Li is taking Pengcheng and Peilan to visit their grandparents, so they can't come."

"Is that so, Mr. Yi, please come in and sit by the fire."

Seeing Teacher Yi coming, Yang Yukun wiped his hands and invited Teacher Yi into the house.

"It's not very cold today."

Teacher Yi rolled up his sleeves and helped wash the dishes.

"Teacher Yi, you are here." Xu Jingping came out of the living room and said to Yang Yukun, "Xiao Kun, Sister Xiao Li said she will not come. Today is New Year's Day, and Uncle Su and Auntie asked her to bring Zhi home for dinner."

"Okay, by the way, wife, when will my parents be back?"

"I do not know."

"Call your parents and ask them to pick up Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang at Xinjiekou when they come back."

Peng Tao heard this and said, "Xiao Kun, I'll go pick up Uncle Wang and Auntie."

"That's fine, Mr. Peng. Then you can go to Xinjiekou and pick up Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang."

"I'll go now."

"Slow down."

"Don't worry, I'm an experienced driver."

Peng Tao drove to Xinjiekou to pick up Wang Aiguo's parents.

"Xiao Kun."

"Sister Hou, brother-in-law, you are here."

"It's so lively."

Liu Yuehua said: "Dad, Mom, you are here, where is my grandpa?"

Hou Su'e said, "Your grandpa has gone to look for Grandpa Guan and Grandpa Niu. He will be here soon."

Liu Yunguang said: "Xiao Kun, is there anything else to do?"

"There's nothing to do now, so let's just sit by the fire, drink tea and chat."

"Play cards, play mahjong, who's going to play?"

“I don’t have mahjong here.”

"I have it there. I'll go back and get it."

Now that there was nothing to do, Mao Tutu went back and got two mahjong sets, set up two tables in the yard, and played mahjong in the sun.

"Chunming, sit down, this seat is yours."

"I have to help Xiao Kun roast the lamb later. I'll play cards. Do you still want to eat roasted whole lamb?"

"Xiaojun, come here."

"I have to help my brother later, I don't have time to play."

"I come."

"Xiaokun, do you have chess?"

"Yes, I'll get it."

There was indeed no mahjong or poker at home, but there was chess. Yang Yukun went to the study and took out the chess for Teacher Yi and the others to play.

"Brother Xiaowu, Xiaojun, the whole lamb is marinated. Light up the charcoal fire and prepare to grill it."

"Brother, where is Tan?"

"Utility room."

The charcoal was made by Yang Yukun himself using the fruit trees he planted in his portable planting space. It emits a fruity aroma when burned.

The charcoal fire was lit, and two whole lambs were put on the grill. Yang Yukun then lit the oven and hung the duck and goose in the oven to roast.

"Brother Xiaowu, I'll leave the roasted whole lamb to you. Xiaojun, help me."

"Leave it to my buddy."

"Then do it."

After handing the roasted whole lamb to Han Chunming, Yang Yukun and Fan Xiaojun went to the kitchen to prepare other dishes.

There were about fifty people, big and small, and an octagonal table could seat eight people, so six tables of food had to be prepared.

Today we mainly eat roasted whole lamb, roast duck and roast goose, as well as lamb offal, duck offal, goose offal, chicken offal, chicken and fish, goose eggs, duck eggs and chicken eggs. These are the dishes.

Although the number of dishes is small, the quantity is large, and there is definitely enough food and wine. (End of this chapter)
