Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Lao Zhang, sister-in-law."

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, you are here. Xiao Zongzi, Ping Ping, Xiao Yumi, Xiao Li, you are here too."

"Hello, Uncle Zhang, hello, Auntie."

"Hello, Xiaokun, Jingping, come on, let's go in."

Zhang Bei and his wife were waiting for Yang Yukun's family at the entrance of Donglaishun. After they met up, they walked into Donglaishun Restaurant.

"Please give us two more bottles of wine."

"What kind of wine?"

"Xiaokun, what do you want to drink?"

"Red Two."

"Then bring two bottles of Red Two, and six bottles of soda."

"Okay, sit down for a while, I'll serve you right away."

"It's troublesome."

"You're welcome."

After a while, the copper pot was brought to the table, and the ordered lamb parts and drinks came up one after another.

"Your dishes are ready. Please enjoy. If you need anything, just ask me."

"Thank you, Xiaokun. Come, have a cup first to moisten your throat."

"Walk."

Yang Yukun and Zhang Bei drank some wine and passed the blanched mutton to the little ones.

After finishing the meat, they asked the waiter to bring some more and Hong Er ordered another bottle.

"How are you, Lao Zhang? Are you okay? Do you want me to carry you?"

"No, I'm not drunk. I'm sober enough. I can have another pound."

Zhang Bei waved his hands to show that he was fine. It was only one and a half kilograms of Honger. He could drink more than two kilograms now.

I just felt a little dizzy, but I was very conscious and didn't stagger when walking.

"Xiao Kun, let's make an appointment next time."

"Okay, Lao Zhang, sister-in-law, slow down and be careful."

"Okay, Xiaokun, Jingping, we'll go back first, you guys should go back too."

"Goodbye Uncle Zhang, goodbye Auntie."

"Goodbye."

After eating and drinking, Zhang Bei and his wife left Donglaishun Restaurant first, with Zhang Bei's wife Cheng Yun driving the car.

Yang Yukun handed the car keys to Xu Jingping, and the family returned to the Qianmen building.

When I got home, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were warming themselves by the fire and watching TV, and Cheng Xueru was there too.

"Grandpa, grandma, we are back."

"Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, Xiaoli, you are back."

"Grandma Cheng, you are here too."

"grandmother."

"Dad, Mom, Aunt Cheng."

"Xiaokun, Jingping, you are back."

"Dad, Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"I have eaten at Lixia's place."

While at the company, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen received a call from their second son-in-law, saying that there was no dinner at home tonight.

Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen originally planned to cook it themselves at home, but after He Lixia learned about the situation, she asked them to eat at the tavern.

"Aunt Cheng, I haven't seen Xiaojun these past two days. What has he been busy with these days?"

As long as he had nothing to do, Fan Xiaojun would come to him every day to drink tea and chat.

Yang Yukun hadn't seen Fan Xiaojun for several days since their last meeting.

"He and Lily went back to Quancheng. Lily's friend was getting married, so she went back to Quancheng to attend the wedding. They will be playing in Quancheng for a while before coming back."

"No wonder I haven't seen him these past few days."

"Xiao Li, let's go home."

"Grandpa, grandma, third aunt, third uncle, I'm going home with grandma first."

"Go back."

"Little Zongzi cousin, Pingping, Little Corn, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, cousin Xiaoli."

"Black Panther, I'm going home. Bye." "Woof woof woof..."

"Go slowly, Xueru."

"Row."

Cheng Xueru took her grandson away and returned to her home.

"I forgot to take the photo album."

Xu Jingping went to the car and took the photo album into the house, and continued to embed the photos taken during the self-driving tour into the album.

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, are these the photos you took when you went out traveling?"

"Correct."

"Grandpa and grandma, look, this is me, this is Pingping, this is Xiaoyumi, this is Xiaoli, this is Zhuangzhuang, and this is Xiaoyanzi."

"Who is Zhuangzhuang?"

"Zhuangzhuang is Aunt Jingjing's son."

"Who is Xiaoyanzi?"

"Xiaoyanzi is Aunt Xiaofen's daughter. This is Aunt Jingjing and Aunt Xiaofen."

Little Zongzi explained the information of the photo to his grandparents, such as who the people in the photo were, where the photo was taken and so on.

Xu Huizhen said, "No, wait until Jingtian finishes her studies and comes back, we will hand over the company to her and Lixia, and we will go on a self-driving tour."

Cai Quanwu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"This girl insisted on going abroad to study, otherwise we could both retire early now."

Xu Huizhen originally planned to let her younger daughter work in the company after she graduated from college, and gradually pass the burden of the company to her younger daughter.

After graduating from university, this girl went to study abroad in Milijian to continue her graduate studies. She wanted to pursue not only a master's degree but also a doctorate.

If this girl could listen to her arrangements and join the company right after graduating from college, with this girl and Lixia managing the company, she and Cai Quanwu could now retire with peace of mind and go on a self-driving tour like her second daughter and second son-in-law.

"Mom, if I really let you retire now, would you be willing to do so?"

"Is there anything you can't bear to part with?"

"You are just talking. If you were to retire now, would you really be able to stay idle?"

Xu Jingping understands his mother.

Among the three sisters, she knows her mother best.

Back then, my mother and Cheng Xueru were known as the two most powerful women in Qianmenlouzi.

The two have been competing with each other for so many years. Although they became relatives because the eldest sister and brother-in-law got together, they are still competing secretly.

My mother reopened the pub and canteen, and Cheng Xueru opened the Xueru Restaurant.

My mother runs a hotel, and Cheng Xueru runs a travel company.

Cheng Xueru hasn't retired yet and the February Flower Hotel has just started construction. How could my mother be willing to retire now?
"You are the one who understands me." Xu Huizhen smiled.

If she wanted to retire, she would have to wait until the Februaryflower Hotel was completed and opened.

The February Flower Hotel project is a high-end hotel project under Huafeng Company and is built according to five-star standards.

All the money she had earned from barter trade with the Bear Country for airplanes was invested in the February Flower Hotel project. She had to see the February Flower Hotel successfully completed and opened before she could retire and enjoy her retirement life with peace of mind.

"Dad, Mom, how many branches of your Sanqiuye Hotel have you opened?"

Yang Yukun asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

I went on a self-driving tour to Qi and Lu before, and there was a branch of Sanqiuye Hotel owned by my father-in-law and mother-in-law in Taishan.

He was quite curious about how many branches his father-in-law and mother-in-law's Sanqiuye Hotel had opened.

"More than 130."

"so much?"

Yang Yukun was quite surprised to hear that his father-in-law and mother-in-law's Sanqiuye Hotel had more than 130 stores.

Even Xu Jingping, who was embedding photos into the album, stopped what he was doing.

“The Sanqiuye Hotel is different from your Zhiweilou Restaurant. Most of the stores in the Sanqiuye Hotel are rented, so it can expand faster.

Now there is a trading company that can make a lot of money, and most of this money has been invested in the expansion of the Sanqiuye Hotel.

With the support of the trading company, the expansion of Sanqiuye Hotel will be faster in the future."

In July 1982, Xu Huizhen bought a three-story house near the train station and opened the first Sanqiuye Hotel.

To date, Sanqiuye Hotel has more than 130 stores, located in the imperial capital, Tianjin, Yanzhao, Qilu, Sanqin, Sanjin, and Inner Mongolia.

The reason why it was able to develop so quickly was that Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen used all the money earned from the old store to open new stores.

Later, he followed his second son-in-law to the Bear Country to engage in barter trade and set up a trading company.

With the financial support from the trading company, the new store of Sanqiuye Hotel will open faster.

When funds are sufficient in the future, Xu Huizhen also plans to rebuild the main branch of the Sanqiuye Hotel and build it according to five-star standards. (End of this chapter)
