Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Dad, I can't get down, please come and save me."

Little Zongzi was sitting on a branch of a crabapple tree in the yard, about two or three meters above the ground.

She sat on the tree for more than ten minutes. It was too high and she didn't dare to come down. When she saw her parents coming back, she quickly asked her father for help.

"Who told you to climb so high?"

"Pingping and Xiaoyumi said I couldn't climb up, but I climbed up and couldn't get down."

Little Corn said, "Dad, please save my sister."

Xu Jingping said: "Can you be more reserved as a little girl? Your personality is just like a boy's. It's even wilder than your aunt's."

"Hehe..., Mom, I was wrong. I will never climb so high again. My legs and hands are numb. Dad, please save me."

Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi came back from playing and saw that their parents had not come back yet. The three siblings played in the yard waiting for their parents.

Xiao Zongzi said that she could climb up the crabapple tree and pick crabapple flowers, and asked Pingping and Xiaoyumi if they believed it. Pingping and Xiaoyumi said no.

Her younger brothers and sisters didn't believe that she could climb up, so as the older sister, Xiao Zongzi naturally had to show them a performance.

As a result, she did climb up, but when she saw how high it was from the ground, she was so scared that she didn't dare to come down. She could only curl up in the tree and wait for her parents to come back.

"Give me your hand."

"Dad, I'm scared."

"You are a girl who gets scared sometimes too. Don't worry, your dad is here."

Yang Yukun grabbed Xiao Zongzi and took the girl down from the tree.

Xu Jingping took the broom and went to clean up the little dumplings. If they climbed the tree today, they would dare to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles tomorrow. They had to be cleaned up.

"whee……."

"Why are you running? Come here."

"Dad save me, Mom is going to beat me."

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "May you be lucky. Dad can't save you."

"Mom, I was wrong. I will never do it again."

"come over."

"I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Little Zongzi ran back to the room and closed the door.

She is not stupid, so she will not stop and let her mother beat her.

My mother had beaten her before, and it was very cruel and painful.

"Girl, you're really fast at running." Xu Jingping threw away the broom.

"Okay, wife, Xiao Zongzi is a little more lively, but this girl knows what to do and what not to do." Yang Yukun smiled and comforted Xu Jingping.

Xiao Zongzi is indeed a lively girl, but she is smart and polite. She has never done anything bad. Instead, she has a strong sense of justice and can distinguish right from wrong.

It’s not a bad thing to have a lively personality. At least it won’t cause you any harm when you grow up.

"Little Zongzi, come out here."

"Mom, I'm already asleep."

"Go wash up."

"Hehe..., Mom, if you don't hit me, I'll come out."

"Don't make me say it a second time."

"whee……."

Little Zongzi opened the door and smiled at his mother.

She didn't dare let her mother say it a second time because her mother would really beat her.

"If I see you climbing this high again, I'll break your legs."

"whee……."

"Dirty, don't touch me."

"Hehe... I want it."

"Your clothes are so dirty, you should wash them yourself later. Your father and I won't wash them for you."

"There is a washing machine."

"The washing machine can't clean the clothes you wear."

"Hehe... Then I'll wash it myself. I've learned how to wash clothes by myself. I can wash them clean by myself."

"Little Yumi, come on, mom will take you to wash up." Xu Jingping pulled Little Yumi up and took the two girls to wash up.

After Xu Jingping brought the two girls back from washing up, Yang Yukun took Pingping to wash up too.

"Dad, Mom, look, I can wash my clothes by myself."

Little Zongzi washed his own clothes in the yard, soaking them in warm water for a while, rubbing them with a washboard, and brushing them with a brush.

She had learned to wash her own clothes a long time ago, and she had washed clothes for her younger brothers and sisters before.

"Yes, it is clean."

"Dad, help me hang it up, I can't reach it."

"Row."

Yang Yukun helped Xiao Zongzi hang the clothes on the clothesline.

"Black Panther, come here, I'll give you a bath."

"Woof woof woof..."

"You're so dirty, let me clean you up."

"Woof woof woof..."

"come out faster."

Seeing the black panther crawling into its den, Xiao Zongzi wanted to drag it out of the den.

"Woof woof woof..." The black panther looked at Yang Yukun for help. "Okay, little Zongzi, it's too late now. It's cold at night. If you give the black panther a bath, it will get sick. Let's wait until the sun comes out before giving it a bath."

Yang Yukun smiled and shook his head. This girl is really energetic.

"Okay, let's wait until the sun comes out and give the black panther a bath."

Little Zongzi let go of Black Panther, humming a little tune and ran to the living room to find his mother and younger brothers and sisters.

The black panther escaped from the clutches of the little Zongzi, crawled out of the den and wagged its tail at Yang Yukun.

Yang Yukun patted Black Panther's head and went to close the door.

"Little Zongzi, Pingping, Little Corn, these are gifts from your parents."

"Pen holder."

"Yes, you can put it on your desk to hold your pens."

"Thank you dad, thank you mom."

"It's getting late, go back to bed, you have to go to school tomorrow."

"Good night, Mom and Dad."

Yang Yukun gave the three ceramic pen holders he bought at Gucizhai this morning to Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi.

Little Zongzi, Pingping and Little Yumi liked the gifts their parents gave them very much and took them back to their respective rooms.

"Xiaokun, Jingping."

Xu Jingping said: "Brother Xiaowu, Brother Jian, Brother Tu, you are here, Xiaokun is in the kitchen."

"Uncle, Uncle Jian, Uncle Tu."

"Hey, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, you guys got up so early. Brother Mosquito is still sleeping in at home."

"Are you still sleeping in?"

"correct."

"Little Mosquito Brother is so lazy. I got up at six o'clock."

"Xiao Kun, is breakfast ready? I'm hungry." Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu went into the kitchen.

"I'm just waiting for you to come over and cook noodles." Yang Yukun lit the gas stove.

After a while, the water boils and then the noodles are thrown into the pot to cook.

Mao Ditu said, "After breakfast, we will head straight to Yuyuantan. I have prepared a fishing rod for you."

"I'm really not interested in fishing. Brother Xiaowu, Brother Jian, Brother Tu, you guys go. I'm not going."

"You want to leave the organization?"

"A classmate flew over from Jiangyou Province at noon, so I have to prepare lunch at home."

"real or fake?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Jingping. She is my college classmate and Jingping's best friend. She flew all the way from Jiangyou, so I have to treat her to a meal."

Xu Jingping said, "Xiao Kun, you and Brother Xiao Wu can go play. I will take Yulan to the store for lunch."

Yang Huajian said: "If you really have something to do, just go ahead and do it."

Han Chunming said, "Yes, you should just do your work. Lao Yang and I will go with the map. When we catch any fish, we will bring them to my place to cook. In the evening, you and Jingping will bring Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi to my place to eat fish. You can also bring your classmate along."

"Then I'll go with you. With your skills, you'll catch nothing nine times out of ten. I'm afraid there won't be any fish to eat tonight."

Although Yang Yukun didn't like fishing very much, he thought about it and decided to participate in the group activities organized.

After all, the four brothers are closer than real brothers and form a whole.

As for Yao Yulan, let Xu Jingping take her to the restaurant for dinner.

"Xiao Kun, you actually look down on our fishing skills."

"Xiao Kun, you're going too far."

"Believe it or not, we will beat you up."

"The only time I didn't come back empty-handed was when I brought back half a bucket of river water."

"Brothers, beat him up."

"Don't hit someone in the face, don't expose someone's shortcomings, buddy. Today I'm going to let you know why the flowers are so red. I'll throw you into the river to make a nest later."

"Who said I couldn't catch any fish? I caught some before, okay? Stop talking nonsense."

Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu pinned Yang Yukun down and beat him up, ruffling his hair into a mess.

"Brothers, I was wrong. Okay, okay, the noodles are cooked."

"Can you catch any fish, buddy?"

"You can catch anything. You can catch the sky, the earth, eternity, and even lions and tigresses."

"Fuck you, buddy, what I want to catch is fish, big fish!"

“Hehe…” Little Zongzi, Pingping and Little Yumi were giggling beside them.

"You can add the marinade yourself. There are also steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed buns and tea-leaf eggs."

"Why is this tea egg so big?"

"Tea-leaf goose eggs."

"Wow, no wonder it's so big. I've eaten a lot of tea eggs, but this is my first time eating tea goose eggs."

"That's nothing. I'll make you some ostrich eggs with tea leaves if I have a chance."

Yang Yukun peeled a tea-flavored goose egg and tasted it. It tasted very good.

This was also his first time making tea-fried goose eggs, and it was very successful.

After breakfast, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi went to kindergarten.

Xu Jingping stayed at home as she was going to the airport to pick up Yao Yulan.

Yang Yukun, Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, and Mao Ditu packed some tea eggs, steamed buns, and steamed rolls for lunch and headed straight for Yuyuantan. (End of this chapter)
