Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Zhiguo didn't pass the exam either. I remember he had good grades, right?"

Yang Yukun remembered that He Zhiguo had good grades, and thought that he would have no problem getting into university.

I didn’t expect that this kid couldn’t get into university and failed the exam.

"His mom and I thought there was no problem, but the results were so different."

Based on his usual test scores, He Changfu thought that his second son would definitely be admitted to university and that their family would soon have another college student.

When the results came out, we realized that this kid had no chance of going to college.

I was nervous during the college entrance examination, which led to a lot of small problems that shouldn't have occurred.

"Why not repeat a year?" Peng Jianguo said, "With Zhiguo's grades, as long as he keeps a calm mind, it will be no problem for him to repeat a year and get into university."

Ding Baosong said: "Yes, there is absolutely no need for my kid to repeat his studies. Zhiguo can repeat his studies for another year and continue to take the college entrance examination."

"If he doesn't want to repeat the year, let him do it."

He Changfu and his wife also had the same idea, and let the boy repeat a year and continue to take the college entrance examination next year.

But the kid himself didn't want to and refused to repeat the grade no matter what.

That being the case.

Then let him.

This kid said he wanted to join the army, so let him join the army.

"Old lady, sister-in-law, you are back." Wang Aiguo was sitting outside the main hall when he saw the old lady, An Hong and He Hua come back.

"Old lady, two younger brothers and sisters."

"Old lady, sister-in-law, Teacher He."

Hearing Wang Aiguo and Old Lady Peng greeting each other, Yang Yukun, Ding Baosong and He Changfu came out from the kitchen.

The old lady smiled and said, "Xiao Kun, Xiao Wang, Xiao Ding, Xiao He, you are here."

An Hong said: "Xiao Kun, Lao Wang, Lao Ding, Lao He."

Lotus called to her son, "Yiheng, take these plums and peaches and wash them."

"okay."

Peng Yiheng washed the plums and peaches that his mother bought and brought them to Uncle Kun and the others to eat.

"Yiheng, where is your father?" Not seeing Peng Tao, Hehua asked her son.

"My dad went to call grandpa and grandma."

My grandparents worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, so my dad went to the cooperative to call them back for lunch.

"Ma'am, how are you?"

"I am in good health. When I have nothing to do, I go out for a walk and exercise."

"As long as I'm healthy."

"Xiao Kun, why didn't Jing Ping come? Xiao Zongzi, Ping Ping, and Xiao Yumi didn't come either?"

"Jingping has something to do at the company and can't leave. Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi play with their peers in the alley all day. Next time when we are free, Jingping and I will invite Xiao Zongzi and the others to come and see you."

"Teacher Peng is back."

"Uncle, Miss."

"Xiao Kun, Xiao Wang, Xiao Ding, Xiao He, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"More than a year."

Yang Yukun and a few others chatted with the old lady. After a while, Peng Tao and his parents came back, and the group continued chatting while eating fruit while enjoying the fan.

"Lunch is ready, time to eat." Peng Jianguo prepared lunch and called everyone who were chatting in the main room to have lunch.

Yang Yukun opened the wine he brought from the imperial capital and filled everyone's glasses.

"Come on, brothers, drink a bowl to moisten your throat first."

"Brothers, I can't drink too much. I have something to do in the afternoon."

"Just do your thing if you have something to do."

"That's right, you should be busy with work."

"Come on, touch one."

"Walk."

"Eat more food. Lao Peng prepared such a large table of food to entertain us. It can't be kept in the hot weather. Let's eat it all up."

"Yes, eat more food. There's not enough space in the fridge at home. It's so hot. If you don't finish it, it will go bad in the afternoon."

"You guys know how much Xiao Kun eats. Are you still worried that he won't be able to finish the meal when Xiao Kun is around?"

"That's right. Xiao Kun's appetite is equivalent to that of five or six of us."

"Just call me a glutton."

"The brothers are praising you. Being able to eat is a blessing."

"Thank you guys, I have to give you three bowls each."

"Eat food, eat food. Lao Peng is really good at cooking. He can open a restaurant with this skill."

"That's a good idea. When I retire at the age of 60, I'll open a restaurant. Then you guys can all come and support me. I'll give you a 50% discount."

"You still want to charge us money when we come to support you?" "Of course I have to. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Especially since you, Lao Wang, are here, not only will I not give you a discount, I will charge you double the price."

"You are a profiteer."

"Ha ha……."

…………

Peng Jianguo still had work to do, so he went back to the county government after lunch.

This is also the reason why Yang Yukun and others come to Shicheng County for a small gathering every year. Peng Jianguo is indeed busy with work and it is difficult for him to spare time to go to other places to have a small gathering with them.

The sun is very strong in the afternoon.

Yang Yukun and his friends did not go out either. They chatted at Peng Jianguo's old house for the whole afternoon. In the evening, Wang Aiguo treated them to a dinner.

At every annual gathering, Yang Yukun and Wang Aiguo are responsible for food, accommodation and transportation.

Ding Baosong, He Changfu, Peng Jianguo and Peng Tao are public servants and teachers. Their salaries are used to support their retirement and children, so they don't need to pay for the gathering.

On the 18th, a celebration banquet will be held for his apprentice. Master Yang Yukun will definitely be present. At the same time, he is also the general manager of all matters in the alley, so he has to go back to arrange the celebration banquet.

After staying in Shicheng County for a few days, Yang Yukun asked the crew to apply for the route on August 15, flying first to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, then to the Central Plains, and finally back to the imperial capital.

Yang Yukun said, "Old lady, uncle, and aunt, you can go to the capital to play for a while. When you want to come back, I will arrange for someone to send you back."

The old lady said, "I won't go. I'm too old to go out. I won't cause any trouble to you."

Peng Jiandang said: "I can't spare the time now. I'll talk about it in two years when I retire and have time."

"Grandma, Dad, Mom..., we are going back to the capital first. Please take care of yourselves. Teacher He and I will bring Yiheng back to see you during the winter vacation."

"Goodbye great-grandma, goodbye grandpa and grandma."

"Give your father-in-law and mother-in-law good wishes for me."

"it is good."

With only half a month left before school starts, Peng Tao and his family of three plan to go with Yang Yukun and his friends, and take Yang Yukun's private plane back to the capital.

On the afternoon of August 14, Yang Yukun and his party said goodbye to Peng Jianguo and others, left Shicheng County and set off on their journey home.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived in Yuzhou smoothly and found a hotel near the airport to stay in.

Yang Yukun said with a smile: "Old Wang, what are you going to do for dinner? Are we going to have hot pot again?"

"Okay, let's eat hot pot."

Ding Baosong laughed and said, "I forgot that I had diarrhea after eating hot pot before, and you still dare to eat it?"

"It's just diarrhea, what's there to be afraid of." Hot pot is so delicious, since I'm in Yuzhou, of course I have to eat hot pot. At worst I'll have diarrhea again, what's the big deal.

After arranging accommodation, the group went to a hotpot restaurant and had another hotpot meal.

Perhaps it was because their stomachs had adapted to the new environment, Wang Aiguo, Ding Baosong and He Changfu did not suffer from diarrhea this time.

Early the next morning.

The private plane took off from Yuzhou and landed at Yongqiang Airport in Dongou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang before ten o'clock in the morning. Several people sent He Changfu to the bus station and took the bus back to Chuzhou.

He Changfu said, "Brothers, are you sure you don't want to come to my house to play for two days?"

"I have some business back in the capital, and I have to go abroad in a few days."

"Okay, call me when we get to the capital."

"it is good."

If I didn't have to go back to prepare a celebratory banquet for my disciple, I could just go to He Changfu's house and play for a few days.

But the timing is not right now. The time for this gathering was squeezed out from the cracks. Let’s do it again when we have time in the future.

After sending He Changfu to the airport, Yang Yukun and Wang Aiguo, Ding Baosong, and Peng Tao's family of three returned to the airport. The plane took off from Yongqiang Airport again and landed in Shangdu City, Zhongyuan Province at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lunch was eaten on the plane, which was equipped with a kitchen and a restaurant.

"I'm at my doorstep now. Let's go to my buddy's place for dinner first."

"Old Ding, I won't have dinner."

"I have to eat. It's not far from Shangdu to Didu. I won't be late for dinner."

Ding Baosong pulled Yang Yukun back and said, since they were already at the doorstep, there was no reason not to go in.

It only takes a little over an hour to fly from the commercial capital to the imperial capital, and you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy a ticket for a private jet.

At this time of year, the days are longer than the nights. Even if you take off from Shangdu after dinner, it won’t be dark when you arrive in the imperial capital.

He knew that Yang Yukun had something to do in the capital, but going to his house for dinner wouldn't take much time and wouldn't delay him from going back to the capital to arrange things.

"Old Ding, let me go first, can't we go together?"

"That's pretty much it."

"I wanted to save you some money, but you insisted on spending it."

"Stop talking nonsense and walk."

"I'll drive."

Yang Yukun drove the car down from the plane and asked the crew to apply for a flight route after six o'clock.

Ding Baosong insisted that they go to his house for dinner, so they had dinner before returning to the capital. (End of this chapter)
