Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

After having dinner at the Imperial Capital Hotel, Yang Yukun drove back home.

"Dad is back."

Xiao Zongzi ran out of the house. When she heard a car driving into the yard, she knew it must be her father coming back.

Yang Yukun patted Xiao Zongzi's head and led the girl into the house.

"Dad, Mom, wife, I'm back." Xu Jingping and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were warming themselves by the fire and watching TV in the house: "Where are Sister Xiaoxing and Xiaozao, are they back home?"

"I just left a while ago."

After dinner, Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao stayed for about half an hour and left less than twenty minutes later.

"dad."

When Pingping and Xiaoyumi saw their father coming back, they put down the toys in their hands and rushed towards him with open arms.

"Where's Xiaoli?"

Xiao Zongzi said, "My cousin Xiaoli was just picked up by Grandma Cheng."

Xu Jingping said: "Jingtian just called back. This girl wanted to chat with you for a while, but you were not at home."

"School is about to start there, right?"

"almost."

After returning home, Yang Yukun watched TV with Xu Jingping and his father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while, and the family chatted about family matters.

"It's getting late, Quan Wu, let's go back."

Xu Huizhen looked at the time. It was almost half past eight in the evening.

Cai Quanwu nodded and said, "Let's go."

"Dad, Mom, do you have a flashlight?"

"Take it."

"Is it snowing again?"

"It really is."

"Dad, Mom, slow down."

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early too."

"Goodbye, grandpa and grandma."

"it is good."

Yang Yukun sent his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the gate, closed the door, looked up at the sky, and a few snowflakes fell on his face.

"Little Zongzi, Pingping, Little Corn, it's time to go to bed, go back to your rooms."

"okay."

"Pingping, Xiaoyumi, do you dare to sleep alone?"

"dare."

"really brave."

From today on, Pingping and Xiaoyumi will sleep in their own room. Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping thought they would cry, but they didn't and fell asleep quickly.

But Yang Yukun was still worried. He didn't sleep the whole night and would go to check on Pingping and Xiaoyumi every one or two hours, just like when Xiao Zongzi first slept alone.

Xu Jingping slept very soundly and did not wake up until seven in the morning.

"Xiao Kun."

"Wake up, brush your teeth and wash your face, then get ready for breakfast."

"Little Zongzi and Pingping, little corn, haven't you woken up yet?"

"They woke up at six o'clock and went to call grandpa and grandma."

"What's for breakfast today?"

"Let's have something different today, mutton noodles and rice cakes."

"Xiao Kun, you actually made mutton noodles and rice cakes."

Xu Jingping had eaten mutton noodles in Bozhou, Guizhou, and rice noodles in the mountainous counties of Sichuan and Shu, and he thought they were both very good.

This is not the first time that Yang Yukun has cooked delicacies from other places at home. He has cooked quite a few before, such as the rice tofu oil cakes he had eaten in Gaoshan County, the rice noodle flower cakes he had eaten in southern Yunnan, and so on.

"I also made some chili shreds myself to try and see if they were as delicious as the chili shreds I ate when I ate mutton noodles in Banzhou."

“It smells very good.”

Xu Jingping picked up a piece of chili and tasted it. He felt that it was more fragrant than the chili that came with the mutton noodles in Bozhou.

"Dad, Mom, we are back."

"Third aunt, third uncle."

"Xiao Li is here too. Where are grandpa and grandma? Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, didn't I tell you to go call grandpa and grandma? Where are they?"

Little Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, Hou Li and other little guys ran in with Black Panther, but Yang Yukun didn't see his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Little Zongzi said, "Grandpa and grandma are chatting with Grandma Zhang at the door." "I'm coming."

Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen walked into their second daughter and son-in-law's house with a smile on their faces. At the door, they met Aunt Zhang from the alley and listened to her gossip about the alley for a while.

Xu Huizhen said, "Xiao Kun, what do you want to eat this morning?"

"Eat mutton noodles and rice cakes, Dad, Mom, try them and see if they suit your appetite."

"It's delicious. This isn't made of flour. It looks like it's made of rice flour."

"Yes, it's not flour, it's all made of rice flour."

"Tofu and meat filling?"

"Correct."

"It tastes really good, the mutton noodles are also very delicious, and the chili shreds are very fragrant."

"I want two more."

"Xiao Li, is it delicious?"

"too delicious."

"Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you. Don't choke."

After breakfast, Xiao Zongzi took Black Panther to kindergarten.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law had nothing to do today, so they took Pingping, Xiao Yumi and Hou Li to visit the slum.

There was something going on at the company, so Xu Jingping went to Zhiweilou Catering Company.

Yang Yukun took out a shovel and a broom and swept the snow in the yard.

The snow was not heavy this time. It stopped around 2 a.m. last night, and the snow in the yard was not deep.

After clearing the snow in the yard, Yang Yukun came to the living room and picked up the first volume of his master's "Kiln Records", which had just been published.

…………

"Xiaokun, Jingping, are you at home?"

"Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, when did you come here?"

That afternoon, neither Yang Yukun nor Xu Jingping went out.

The weather is quite cold, and unless there is something to deal with, they both basically stay at home.

Before, when they were in Qiongzhou Island, Cai Xiaoli told them that she would return to the capital in the twelfth lunar month to attend a wedding banquet.

Just now Xu Jingping was talking about this with Yang Yukun and was about to call to ask when Cai Xiaoli and the others would come and whether he wanted to pick them up at the airport.

I didn’t expect that Cai Xiaoli and the others had already arrived in the imperial capital.

"Just arrived a while ago."

Cai Xiaoli was originally planning to call Yang Yukun and ask him to pick them up at the airport.

When they got off the plane, they happened to see a bus back to Sijiu City. As they didn't bring much luggage with them, they didn't ask Yang Yukun to pick them up.

"Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, please come in and sit down."

"It's so cold."

"The Imperial Capital is not as good as Qiongzhou Island. It's more than ten degrees below zero here now."

"it's too cold."

After entering the house, a wave of heat hit him in the face, and Chen Zhihua felt like he was alive again.

The imperial capital and Qiongzhou Island at this season are completely two different worlds.

Fortunately, Cai Xiaoli and her father-in-law and mother-in-law are from the imperial capital, and they know how cold it is in this season, so they prepared thick clothes in advance.

If he were to come to the capital alone at this time of year, he would freeze to death as soon as he got off the plane.

"Sister Xiaoli, where are Uncle Cai and Auntie?"

"They went to my uncle's house first."

Cai Xiaoli and her friends returned to the capital this time to attend the wedding of a cousin from their hometown.

After my parents went to Qiongzhou Island, they said more than once that they wanted to come back and visit. I would also like to take this opportunity to take them back to my hometown to take a look at the house and the old neighbors.

"Where's Feihong? Didn't he come with you?"

"He wants to come, too, but he still has to go to school, and he still has a few days before his holiday."

"Wife, please chat with Lao Chen and Sister Xiaoli for a while. I'll go prepare dinner."

"Xiao Kun, stop working. Lao Chen and I will go to my uncle's house for dinner. The day after tomorrow afternoon, call Chunming, Lao Yang, and Tu Di. Let's get together. Lao Chen and I will treat you."

"You have come all the way to the capital, so how about I let you treat us? Let's get together at my place the day after tomorrow, and Old Chen, you can try my cooking."

Previously on Qiongzhou Island, Chen Zhihua prepared a large grouper feast to entertain them.

This time, Chen Zhihua, Cai Xiaoli and others came all the way to the imperial capital, so how could they treat us again?

Chen Zhihua and Cai Xiaoli are going to a wedding banquet tomorrow, so let's have a small gathering at his place the day after tomorrow and have a whole roasted lamb. (End of this chapter)
