Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Two days later.

Yang Yukun prepared a sheep and some chickens, ducks, geese and fish from his portable planting space. After lunch, he began to prepare today's feast.

In previous gatherings, Han Chunming and Fan Xiaojun were always asked to come and help.

But Han Chunming and Fan Xiaojun were not at home during this period. Han Chunming and Su Meng were not back from Yangcheng yet, and Fan Xiaojun had not returned yet after accompanying Zhao Lili back to Quancheng for a wedding banquet.

There was no other way, so Yang Yukun had to call Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu to help.

Someone needs to watch over the roasted whole lamb, and he also has to cook other dishes, so it’s too late for one person to do it all.

"Chunming has been in Yangcheng for such a long time, when will he come back?"

"I don't know. How about giving it a call and asking?"

"I called him two days ago and he said he would have to wait a few days."

"The New Year is coming soon. By the way, Lao Ao will come to the capital in a few days."

"Lao Ao is coming. When?"

"Just these two days."

Yang Huajian was turning the roasted lamb rack and chatting with Yang Yukun and Mao Ditu.

He spoke to Ao Feng on the phone last night, and Ao Feng said that he would come to the capital in the next two days.

The New Year is coming soon, so I would like to report to the major shareholders of these companies on the various aspects of Jiantu Mingkun Investment Group's development in the past year.

The company's profits for this year have also been calculated, and their dividends will be deposited into their accounts at Nanyang Commercial Bank soon.

"Xiao Kun."

As the three were chatting, Chen Zhihua, Cai Xiaoli and their parents came over.

"Uncle Cai, Auntie, Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, you are here."

"Uncle Cai, Auntie, Lao Chen, Xiaoli, long time no see."

"Lao Yang, Map, I haven't seen you for a long time, more than two years, right?"

"There is."

Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu travel to South Guangdong several times a year, but they have not been to Qiongzhou Island in the past two years.

"Where's Chunming?"

Cai Xiaoli took a quick look but didn't see Han Chunming.

She knew that Han Chunming, Yang Yukun, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu were very close friends and they often stayed together and were inseparable.

But Han Chunming is nowhere to be seen now. Where did he go?

"Sister Xiaoli, it's like this. Brother Xiaowu and Sister Su Meng went to Yangcheng. They have been there for about ten days."

Yang Yukun thought that Cai Xiaoli knew that Han Chunming was in Yangcheng. It seemed that Cai Xiaoli had not called Han Chunming and the others, and did not know that Han Chunming and Su Meng had gone to Yangcheng.

"They went to Yangcheng. What were they going to do in Yangcheng?" Cai Xiaoli really didn't know that Han Chunming was in Yangcheng.

"Sister Su Meng plans to open another branch in Yangcheng. Brother Xiaowu will accompany her to Yangcheng to look at the store. It will take a few days for her to come back."

"I see. I told him to treat us to a meal when we return to the capital, but I didn't expect him to go to Yangcheng instead."

Yang Huajian said, "Chunming is not at home so I can't treat you guys to a meal, but we are here. Let's eat at Xiaokun's house today, and I'll treat you guys to a meal tomorrow."

Mao Ditu then said, "The day after tomorrow I'll treat you. Let's go to Xiao Kun's restaurant and eat Tan's cuisine."

"We will leave for Qiongzhou Island tomorrow. The tickets have been purchased and the flight will be tomorrow morning."

The reason they came here just now is that Cai Xiaoli and Chen Zhihua went to the airport in the morning and bought tickets back to Qiongzhou Island for tomorrow morning.

As the year draws to a close, there are many things to do at home, so she and Chen Zhihua cannot leave for too long. Tomorrow morning, she and Chen Zhihua will return to Qiongzhou Island.

Mom and Dad will not go back to Qiongzhou Island with them this time. They haven’t been back for several years. Now that they have finally come back, Mom and Dad want to stay in their hometown for a while longer.

Hearing this, Yang Huajian said, "Then I can only wait for the next opportunity and invite you again."

"There's plenty of time, there are plenty of opportunities." Cai Xiaoli said: "Xiao Kun, where are Jing Ping and Xiao Zongzi? Aren't they at home?"

"Jingping went to the company and will be back soon. Xiao Zongzi is in the kindergarten. Pingping and Xiao Yumi were taken to Simatai by my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

My mother-in-law's family was holding a wedding banquet, so my father-in-law and his mother-in-law went to Simatai yesterday and brought Pingping, Xiao Yumi and Hou Li with them.

Yang Yukun called Xu Jingping, saying that Cai Xiaoli and others had arrived, and asked her when she would be back.

Half an hour later, Xu Jingping returned home from the company.

"Uncle Cai, Auntie, Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli."

"Jingping, you're back."

"I had some things to deal with at the company, and I've only just finished them now."

The New Year is coming soon, and the company has a lot of things to do, including the annual meeting. Although Luo Jiangjing and others are watching over the company, Xu Jingping still feels uneasy if I don't go and see him in person.

"Brother Jian, Brother Tu, call Xiaozao and Xiaoxing and ask them when they will come over?" Yang Yukun looked at the time. Xiaozongzi would be out of school soon and dinner would be ready soon.

"They are picking up Xiao Wenzi and the others from the kindergarten now. They will be here soon."

Yang Huajian called Meng Xiaozao.

Meng Xiaozao said that she and her elder sister were picking up the children at Beihai Kindergarten right now. They would come directly over after picking up Xiao Wanzi, Shiwu and Chushi.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back, Uncle Jian, Uncle Tu."

"Little rice dumplings."

"Grandpa Cai, Grandma, Uncle Chen, Auntie."

After coming back from kindergarten, Xiao Zongzi ran home with his little schoolbag on his back.

"Come here, Auntie." Cai Xiaoli waved at Xiao Zongzi, "Girl, you have grown a lot taller than before. You are almost as tall as your brother Feihong."

"whee……."

the other side.

At Beihai Kindergarten, Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao picked up the child and took him straight to Yang Yukun's home.

After parking the car at the door, the two of them took Fifteenth, Tenth, and Xiao Wanzi into the yard.

"Sister Xiaoli."

"Xiao Xing."

"Sister Xiaoli, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much after not seeing you for several years."

Meng Xiaoxing opened her arms towards Cai Xiaoli and they hugged each other.

After not seeing her for several years, Cai Xiaoli has changed a lot. If she were to walk on the street, she might not be able to recognize Cai Xiaoli.

"I miss you too."

Meng Xiaoxing has changed a lot, but her temperament has not changed much.

"Sister Xiaoli."

"Xiao Zao."

"Little Mosquito, fifteenth, tenth day of the lunar month, this is Grandpa Cai, Grandma, Aunt Xiaoli, and Uncle Chen."

"Hello, Grandpa Cai, Hello, Grandma, Hello, Uncle Chen, Hello, Aunt Xiaoli."

"Hello, you guys have grown up so much, Xiao Xing, these two are yours, right?"

"Yes, the fifteenth and the tenth are mine, and the little mosquito belongs to Xiaozao's family."

“I can’t even recognize it.”

"You haven't been back for a few years. These little guys haven't seen you before. It would be strange if they could recognize you."

"Yes."

When everyone was gathered, Yang Yukun went to cut the roast duck and roast goose into pieces, cut the roast whole lamb, and called Cai Xiaoli and others to move to the restaurant.

"Old Chen, would you like to drink yellow or white?" After sitting down, Yang Yukun asked Chen Zhihua.

The rice wine was warmed up, and there was also white wine. Chen Zhihua could drink whatever he wanted.

"Have some white wine."

"Okay, buddy, I'll fill it up for you."

Yang Yukun filled the glasses of wine for Cai's father, Chen Zhihua, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, while Xu Jingping was responsible for entertaining Cai's mother and Cai Xiaoli.

"Uncle Cai, Auntie, Lao Chen, Sister Xiaoli..., eat it while it's hot, and don't be polite."

"Xiao Kun, your roast duck is really authentic, better than Quanjude's."

"The roasted whole lamb is delicious, and so is the roasted goose. Xiao Kun, your cooking skills are amazing."

"Uncle Cai, Lao Chen, Brother Jian, Brother Tu, come, have a drink."

"Done."

Two jars of Eight Immortals Drunk and Vast Sea Nectar were prepared, and the few people then drank some warmed Jie Yuhua.

After eating and drinking, we continued to drink tea and chat around the fire.

Except for Meng Xiaozao, Yang Yukun and others had drunk a lot of wine, so Meng Xiaozao sent Cai Xiaoli and others to the hotel first.

Cai Xiaoli's house had been uninhabited for a long time and had become dilapidated. The roof was leaking and it was no longer habitable, so she had to stay in a hotel when she returned.

The reason why Mr. and Mrs. Cai did not go back to Qiongzhou Island with their daughter and son-in-law was, firstly, they had not been back for a long time and wanted to stay for a few more days, and secondly, they were planning to find someone to renovate the house so that they could keep a memory.

After sending Cai Xiaoli and the others to the hotel, Meng Xiaozao returned to Yang Yukun's home to pick up Yang Huajian, her elder sister, her brother-in-law, and the children. (End of this chapter)
