Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Xiao Kun."

"Teacher Peng, where are Uncle Wang and Auntie? Have they taken it?"

"I got it. I'm watching Brother Jian and the others playing cards in the yard. Do you need any help?"

"No, just stay out of the way in the kitchen and wait for your meal."

"Then go play a couple of rounds too."

After Peng Tao brought Wang Aiguo's parents over, he asked Yang Yukun if he needed his help.

Since Yang Yukun disliked him being in the way in the kitchen, Peng Tao went to the yard to play mahjong with Yang Huajian and others and bask in the sun.

"Xiaokun, Xiaojun."

"Brother Tu, weren't you playing mahjong? Why don't you play anymore?"

"I'm leaving the table. Let Mr. Peng play two rounds. You know, my buddies are not interested in playing cards. No one played just now, so I joined them."

"Won?"

"I lost more than twenty dollars."

Mao Ditu had no interest in playing cards. Peng Tao came back to pick someone up, so he gave up his seat to Peng Tao and left the table.

"Master, I bought the things."

Liu Yuehua ran into the kitchen carrying a net bag of things. The chef asked him to go to the grocery store to buy some salt, MSG and other condiments.

"Put it there."

"okay."

"Go play, there's nothing to do now."

"I'm going to look for Xiao Zongzi and the others. Master, call me if you need anything."

"Row."

Yang Yukun went to the roast duck oven to check on the roast duck and roast goose, and then went to check on the roasting status of the two whole roast lambs.

"Dad, Mom, you're back. Aunt Cheng, you're here too."

Seeing his father-in-law, mother-in-law and Cheng Xueru walking in from outside, Yang Yukun turned around and greeted the three of them.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "When Quanwu and I came back, we ran into Xueru at the entrance of the alley."

"Uncle Cai, Auntie, Auntie Cheng."

"Uncle Cai, Auntie, you are back."

"Grandpa, grandma, grandma!"

"Grandpa, grandma, you are back."

"Xiaohua, I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you have time to come here today?"

"Today is a holiday, I came to visit Master and his wife."

"Playing cards, who wins?"

"Lao Yang won, and we all lost. He won alone. Aunt Cheng, do you want to fight or not? I'll let you."

"I won't fight you, you fight me, I'll watch you fight."

"Xiao Kun, Qingming and Lixia, Xiaoxia hasn't come yet?"

"Nope."

"I'll call Lixia and ask where they are."

"Okay, dinner will start at four o'clock. Let them come back early."

Yang Yukun returned to the kitchen and continued to prepare other dishes.

By the time the two roasted whole lambs are cooked, the other dishes are also ready.

"Brother Jian, stop fighting and set the table for dinner."

"Brothers and sisters, set the table and eat."

"Little Fifth Brother, Aunt and the others haven't come yet, go call them over."

"Okay, I'll go call them."

"Don't forget to call me Master, your Master, and Master Niu. They are with your Master."

Yang Yukun asked Han Chunming to go to the slum to call his mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Old Mrs. Su, and also call their master and Uncle Niu.

Fan Xiaojun was asked to arrange the dishes, while Yang Yukun took out the roast duck and roast goose, sliced ​​and chopped them, and also cut the roast whole lamb and served it on the table.

"It's so lively."

"Uncle Guan, Lord Hou, Uncle Niu, Old Lady, Second Aunt, Teacher Su, Teacher Liu, you are here."

"Master, Uncle Guan, Uncle Niu... please sit here."

"Okay, Old Man Guan, Uncle Niu, you two can take a seat."

"Mom, what's going on with Lixia and the others? Why haven't they come back yet?"

"I'll call them again to see where they are." Xu Huizhen called He Lixia again: "They are in the tavern, and will be here soon."

"Okay, let's eat while we wait for them." "Xiao Kun, sit here, the seat is reserved for you."

"I'll pour you some wine."

"Brother Tu, I can't drink. I have to go back to Fangshan soon. I have something to do tomorrow morning. I have to drive."

"Let Mr. He open it."

"Teacher He and the others are all drinking."

"Why go back today? Go back tomorrow morning. It's not like there's no room for you at home."

"I really have something to do tomorrow. I have to go back today, otherwise it will be too late to go back tomorrow morning."

"Can we go back earlier? It should be in time if we leave at five in the morning."

"How about this, Mr. Peng? You can go sit at Xiao Zongzi's table. Xiao Hua and his friends are also sitting at the table with kids. You can drink coconut milk with them."

"I won't sit at the kids' table. Fill up your table."

"That's right, come on brothers, let's have a fight."

"Walk."

"Xiaokun, Chunming and Xiaojun have worked hard today. Let's toast to them together."

"Done."

"Xiao Kun's roast duck is absolutely amazing. I've eaten roast duck from all kinds of roast duck restaurants in the capital, including many company canteens, and none of them can compare to Xiao Kun's."

"Third aunt, third uncle, third sister, third brother-in-law..."

"Qingming, Lixia, Xiaoxia, why did you come just now? If you don't come soon, we will finish eating."

"I just came back from a trip to Badaling. Today is New Year's Day, and there are a lot of people there."

"It's a festival, so it's normal to have a lot of people. Sit here on Qingming Festival, I'll fill your glass with wine."

"okay."

"Come, drink."

…………

The meal started at four o'clock and lasted until half past six. We finished two roasted lambs and only a pile of bones were left.

It's getting dark too.

Everyone drank a lot of wine tonight, including Xu Jingping and her friends, who also drank a lot of Jieyuhua and fruit wine.

There were also people who didn't drink, such as Old Lady Su and Xiao Zongzi and the other little ones.

Don’t drink and drive, don’t drive after drinking, safety first.

Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu called two friends in the hospital to take a taxi to drive for them. Natalia also called the people from the Embassy of the Bear Country in Xia and asked them to come and pick her up.

"Brother Jian, Brother Tu, when you go back later, please take Uncle Wang and Auntie and Teacher Yi back with you."

"no problem."

"Grandpa, grandma, we are leaving now and will come back to see you."

"Fengzi, you dare to drive after drinking so much?"

"Xiaoxue didn't drink, Fengfeng is still drinking milk."

"Take the roast duck and goose back home to eat."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Slow down."

"it is good."

Yang Yukun gave a roast duck and a roast goose to his eldest nephew Yang Guangcheng and great-grandson Yang Feng respectively and asked them to take them home to eat.

A few minutes after Yang Guangcheng and his group left, the people who came to pick up Natalia arrived.

Ten minutes later, Yang Huajian, Mao Ditu and his group left with roast duck and roast goose.

After seeing off Han Chunming, Fan Xiaojun and his party, Yang Yukun's family of five, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, his master's family, and Peng Tao's family of three came to the main living room to warm themselves by the fire and chat.

"Grandpa, Master, Dad, Mom, let me tell you something. I'm going abroad the day after tomorrow morning."

"Xiaohua, why are you going abroad again this time?"

"I went on a visit abroad with my leader, and he specifically asked me to go."

"How long will you be gone this time?"

"I don't know, probably about ten days or half a month."

"Okay, go ahead."

"If there is a session of exchange and discussion, don't show mercy, lest people look down on you."

"Master, I know."

This is not the first time that Liu Yuehua has visited abroad with his superiors. Although he is young, he has already visited many countries in the world.

After he won the gold medal in the 60kg boxing category at the 24th Summer Olympics, the top leaders would always mention him when they went on overseas visits and ask him to go with them. (End of this chapter)
