Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Mom and Dad said Qingming's parents are here, and they're eating at Lixia's place."

Xu Jingping came to the kitchen. His mother had just called and said that they would have dinner at He Lixia's house in a while.

Chen Qingming's parents came to the capital from their hometown in Xingsha County, Tanzhou, Hunan to visit their son, daughter-in-law and grandson. The father and mother accompanied Chen Qingming's parents in the tavern.

"Qingming's parents are here. After dinner, we'll go see them."

"Row."

"Call Xiao Zongzi and the others to eat."

The last dish will be out of the pot soon. Since my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not coming back for dinner, we won’t wait for them.

"Fengzi, Xiaozongzi, Pingping, Xiaoyumi, it's time for dinner."

"Grandpa has prepared dinner, great aunt, little grandpa, little aunt, let's eat dinner first."

"Let's go. I'll tell you a story later."

"Got it."

Yang Feng smiled. He found it quite interesting to listen to the kindergarten stories told by the little elders, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi.

This aunt is simply the bully of Qianmen Kindergarten. She is the big sister of all the children in the kindergarten, and all the children in the kindergarten obey her orders.

"Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, go wash your hands."

"okay."

"Fengzi, drink something?"

"Grandpa, I drove here, so I won't drink with you. I'll drink with you tomorrow."

"Forget about driving here, just eat more food."

Yang Feng wanted to drive, and Yang Yukun did not continue to persuade him to drink, but invited him to eat.

"By the way, great grandfather, a large number of pottery figurines from the Northern Wei Dynasty have recently appeared in Panjiayuan."

"a large amount?"

"It is said that there are quite a few, but they were bought by the Forbidden City Museum as soon as they appeared."

"You guys are always at Panjiayuan, but you didn't buy two pieces before the Forbidden City Museum did."

"By the time I got the news, all the terracotta figurines had been bought by the Forbidden City Museum. The Forbidden City Museum was worried that these cultural relics would be lost abroad, so they bought them as soon as possible. I didn't even know what these Northern Wei terracotta figurines looked like."

Hasn't Yang Feng been busy with his antique shop in Panjiayuan recently? A few days ago, he heard from others that a large number of pottery figurines from the Northern Wei Dynasty appeared in the Panjiayuan market.

He was busy at the time, and when he heard the news, these Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines had already been bought by the Forbidden City Museum.

I don’t know who released this batch of Northern Wei terracotta figurines. With such a large number of Northern Wei terracotta figurines released, it is very likely that their origins are not legitimate.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Just pick up some food and eat more."

Yang Yukun was quite interested when he heard from Yang Feng that a large number of pottery figurines from the Northern Wei Dynasty had appeared in Panjiayuan.

But these terracotta figurines had already been bought by the Forbidden City Museum, which immediately dampened his interest.

I don’t know who was so bold as to release so many Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines at once. Did they rob the tomb of some important figure from the Northern Wei Dynasty?
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm leaving first." After eating and drinking, Yang Feng said goodbye to his great-grandpa and great-grandma.

There were still some people who had not been notified yet, and he had to go to Liulichang soon.

"Okay, go back, drive slowly."

"Okay, great aunt, little grandfather, little aunt, I'm going back."

"Go slowly, bee."

"okay."

After leaving his great-grandfather and great-grandmother's house, Yang Feng went straight to Liulichang.

First go to Jubao Pavilion to see the old man, then visit the owners of other shops and invite them to have tea in his shop tomorrow.

…………

"Come on, wife, let's go visit our parents on Qingming Festival."

"Row."

After tidying up.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Yang Yukun called Xu Jingping, who was reading in the study, and the two of them went out together and walked towards the tavern.

"Dad, mom."

"Third aunt, third uncle."

"Uncle Kun, auntie."

"Uncle, aunt."

"Brother Xiaokun, Sister Jingping..."

A group of little kids were playing at the entrance of the alley, and the big sister Xiao Zongzi was playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with them.

Xiao Zongzi asked, "Dad, Mom, where are you going?" Yang Yukun smiled and said, "To your fourth aunt's house. Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, do you want to go together?"

"No, Dad, Mom, you go."

"Then you guys continue playing."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping continued to go to the tavern and soon arrived at He Lixia's house.

I could hear my father-in-law and his friends talking at the door, and they seemed to be chatting happily.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, you are here, please come in and sit down." Chen Qingming noticed someone coming in, turned around and saw that it was his third sister and brother-in-law.

"We heard Uncle Chen and Auntie are here, so we came over to chat with them."

"Xiaokun, Jingping."

"Uncle Chen, Auntie, I haven't seen you for many years."

"Two years?"

"It's been more than two years. I remember the last time you and aunt came to the capital was when He He was born."

"Correct."

Father Chen nodded.

The last time they came to the imperial capital was in 1990 when their grandson Chen He was born.

It was just after the Chinese New Year. After receiving the news of the birth of their grandson in their hometown in Xiangchu, the couple bought the fastest train tickets to the capital and rushed to the capital overnight.

"Uncle Chen, Auntie, you finally came to the imperial capital, you should stay a few more days this time."

"That's what we planned. We're both retired now and don't need to work anymore. Qingming and Lixia are both busy with work, so we can just help them take care of He He."

Some time ago, Chen's father and mother both retired, otherwise they would not have the time to travel all the way to the imperial capital.

Because they were so far away, they had only been to the imperial capital a few times over the years, and every time they came, they could only stay for a few days before having to go back.

Now that they are retired, they have plenty of time and can help their second son and daughter-in-law take care of the children.

He Lixia said: "Dad, Mom, you should stay in the imperial capital from now on. Qingming and I will take care of you in your old age."

"That won't work. We have to go back. Your brother and sister-in-law are taking care of us. You don't have to worry about us."

The second son and his wife were very filial, and the second daughter-in-law asked them to live in the imperial capital more than once.

But they can't come, and they will go back to their hometown in Xiangchu after a while.

The new house for my second son's wedding was given by my second daughter-in-law's third aunt and uncle, who also gave them a car, home appliances and furniture.

Chen's father and mother knew that even if they really came to the imperial capital to live with their second son and his wife, their in-laws would not say anything, but they could not let others gossip.

There is an eldest son and daughter-in-law in the family, and they are also very filial.

It was agreed at the beginning that whoever took over his job would be responsible for taking care of them in their old age.

The eldest son took over his job at the supply and marketing cooperative, and naturally he was responsible for taking care of them in their old age and seeing them to the end of their lives.

"Okay." He Lixia stopped trying to persuade him. She knew her parents-in-law were worried about gossip. He Lixia continued, "Brother-in-law, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

"what happened?"

"Can you please send my parents to my parents' place in Simatai tomorrow? Qingming and I are both busy tomorrow, and my third aunt and uncle are also not free tomorrow. If you don't have time, I'll ask Xiaoxia to pick them up."

"I have something to do tomorrow morning. I'll take Uncle Chen and Auntie there in the afternoon."

Yang Feng's antique shop will open tomorrow morning, and he has to go and take a look.

I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, so I can go to Simatai and see how He Xiaoxia's farm villa is going.

"Third brother-in-law, thank you for your help."

"It's not a problem. You are not a stranger. Don't say such polite words. Uncle Chen, Auntie, I will come to pick you up after I finish my work tomorrow."

"it is good."

After dark, Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law left the tavern.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are going on a business trip tomorrow and will be away for about a week to deal with business matters at Huafeng Trading Company.

Huafeng Trading Company is the golden goose in the hands of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. The funds for Sanqiuye Hotel and February Flower Hotel all come from Huafeng Trading Company.

Even the start-up capital of Huafeng Real Estate was earned by Huafeng Trading Company.

"Little Zongzi and Pingping, Little Yumi and the others haven't come back yet?"

"It's already dark and you haven't come back yet. Where have you been?"

"I think it's in the slum. I'll go look for it there."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping returned home and found that Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi had not returned home yet.

The slum is the base of these little guys in the alley. Little Zongzi, Pingping and Little Yumi are most likely in the slum.

When Yang Yukun arrived at the compound, Xiao Zongzi and the others were indeed there. (End of this chapter)
