Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"We're home. Let's go in." After getting off the car, Ding Baosong invited Yang Yukun and others into the house.

Wang Aiguo said, "Teacher Peng, you have never been to Old Ding's house before, right?"

"No."

After knowing each other for so many years, this was the first time that Peng Tao came to Ding Baosong's home.

Before this, he had never been to Ding Baosong's house, nor had he ever been to He Changfu's house.

"Dad, Uncle Kun, Uncle Wang!" Dingxiang was picking vegetables at the kitchen door. She was slightly stunned when she saw her father and others walking in from outside.

Ding Baosong said: "This is your uncle Taozi and aunt, and this is Yiheng."

"Hello, Uncle Taozi, Hello, Auntie, Hello, Yiheng."

"This is Xiangxiang, she has grown so big now." Peng Tao said, "Yiheng, this is Sister Xiangxiang."

"Hello, Sister Xiangxiang."

Ding Xiang said, "Uncle Kun, Uncle Wang, Uncle Taozi, Auntie, please come in and sit down."

"You are alone at home, where are your grandparents, your mother and your brother?"

"Grandpa and grandma went to visit relatives, my mom went shopping with Aunt Chen, and my brother went out to play with his friends and hasn't come back yet."

"Xiao Kun, Lao Wang, Teacher Peng, Teacher He, please sit down for a while. I will go and prepare dinner."

Ding Baosong brought the vegetables he bought at the market on his way back to the kitchen. After Yang Yukun and the others had dinner, they had to return to the imperial capital.

"Uncle Kun, Uncle Wang, Uncle Taozi, Auntie, please have some watermelon." Dingxiang went to cut the watermelon that was chilled with well water and served it to Uncle Kun and the others: "Yiheng, this big piece is for you."

"Thank you, Sister Xiangxiang."

"You're welcome." Ding Xiang smiled and took a chair to sit next to Uncle Kun: "Uncle Kun, how are Aunt Jingping, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi? I haven't seen them for a long time. I miss them so much."

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "That's fine. We'll go back to the capital after dinner. Do you want to go with us to the capital to spend a few days with Xiao Zongzi and the others?"

"School will start soon, so I'd better not go."

"There's still half a month left. I'll have someone send you back then."

"Thank you, Uncle Kun. I'd better not trouble you. When I pass the exam and go to the capital, I will have time to visit Xiao Zongzi and the others on weekends."

"You still have two years until you graduate from high school, right?"

"Yes, I will be a sophomore in high school at the beginning of the school year, and I still have two years to graduate from high school."

"Have you decided which university to apply to?"

"I want to apply to Imperial Capital Normal University."

"You have to work hard to be an alumnus of your father and us. It's not easy to get into Imperial Capital Normal University."

"I have confidence."

Although she still has two years to go before graduating from high school, Ding Xiang already has a goal for college.

Her father went to university in the imperial capital, so she wanted to go to the imperial capital as well. So she applied to the Imperial Capital Normal University where her father once studied. After graduation, she would become a teacher like her parents.

After chatting with Uncle Kun and others for a while, Dingxiang ran to the kitchen to help her father prepare dinner.

The gate of the courtyard.

When Luo Guixiang came back from shopping, she saw a car parked in front of her house. She remembered that it was Yang Yukun's car, so it must be Ding Baosong who had returned.

"I saw Xiaokun's car parked at the door. Xiaokun, Lao Wang, it's really you guys."

"sister in law."

"My sister-in-law is back."

"Sister-in-law." Peng Tao said, "Teacher He, this is Lao Ding's wife, call her sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Teacher Peng, Teacher He." In real life, Luo Guixiang and Peng Tao had never met each other, but they had often seen their photos. When Ding Baosong had nothing to do, he would take out the photos and look through them, so he recognized them.

"Yiheng, call me aunt."

"Hello auntie."

"Hello, your name is Yiheng, right? How old are you?"

"Aunt, I'm eight years old."

Ding Xiang came out from the kitchen: "Mom, you're back."

"You're back. Is your dad making dinner?"

"Yes, grandpa and grandma are visiting next door. I'm going to call them back for dinner."

"Your brother hasn't come back yet?"

"not yet."

Dinner was almost ready, and Dingxiang went next door to call her grandparents.

"Uncle Ding, Auntie."

"Xiao Kun, Xiao Wang, you are here."

Yang Yukun said, "We are here to have a meal. Uncle Ding, Auntie, are you feeling well?"

"I'm fine."

Wang Aiguo introduced: "Uncle Ding, Auntie, let me introduce you, this is Peng Tao and He Hua, and this is their son Peng Yiheng."

"Uncle Ding, Auntie, hello."

"Hello, grandparents."

"Hello, little guy. This child is chubby and cute." Father Ding patted the little guy's head and continued, "You are Xiao Peng. You and Baosong were classmates in the same dormitory when you were in college. You are good friends. You also have an uncle named Peng Jianguo who is in the same dormitory as you. Baosong has told us about it."

"Yes, Uncle Ding. My uncle is ten years older than me. After the college entrance examination was resumed, we signed up for the college entrance examination together and were admitted to Imperial Capital Normal University together. We were assigned to the same class and the same dormitory."

"Xiao Kun, Xiao Wang and Xiao He have all been to my house before. This is your first time here. Also, I haven't met your uncle. You are welcome to my home." "Dinner is ready. Let's eat. Xiao Kun and the others have to go back to the capital soon." Dinner was ready, and Ding Baosong asked Yang Yukun and others to have dinner.

After dinner, Yang Yukun, Wang Aiguo, and Peng Tao's family of three had to rush back to the capital overnight, so they didn't waste any more time.

"Are we going back to the capital?" Father Ding said, "We've finally come here, so let's enjoy it for two more days."

Yang Yukun said, "Uncle, no, I have things to do when I go back. I will come to see you and aunt when I am free."

Ding Baosong said, "Xiao Kun's apprentice won the Olympic championship and held a celebration banquet. In a few days, he will go on a business trip to the country of Mao."

"The guy who's really good at boxing?"

"Yes, the young man we watched on TV, the gold medalist in the men's 71kg boxing category, is Xiao Kun's apprentice."

"Xiao Kun, you are a great disciple. You won an Olympic gold medal in an international competition and brought glory to the country. Well done."

"In the last Olympics, Xiao Kun's apprentice also won a gold medal in boxing. He has participated in two consecutive Olympics and won championships twice. Including martial arts competitions, the National Games, and the Asian Games, he must have won dozens of gold medals, right?"

Ding Xiang was surprised and asked, "Is Uncle Kun's apprentice so powerful?"

"The master can only teach you the way, but the practice depends on yourself. It mainly depends on this kid's own efforts."

Every time he heard someone praising his disciple, Master Yang Yukun felt very happy.

Have no idea.

Who made him have such a promising disciple? He should be proud of it.

"Where's the wine? Bring me the wine."

"Here comes the wine."

"Jianhua hasn't come back yet, why don't we wait for him to come back and eat together?"

"Don't worry about him. I don't know where this kid went to play."

"Uncle Ding, I'll have a drink with you."

"it is good."

"Xiao Kun, Lao Wang, Teacher Peng, Teacher He, please eat some food. Don't be polite. Yiheng, have a chicken drumstick."

"Thank you, aunt."

…………

After having dinner at Ding Baosong's house, Yang Yukun, Wang Aiguo, and Peng Tao's family of three said goodbye and left.

Yang Yukun, Wang Aiguo and Peng Tao had all been drinking, and Hehua drove them back to the airport.

The crew requested a 6:30 flight route. The plane took off from Shangdu at 6:30 in the evening and landed at Didu Airport an hour and a half later.

Before nine o'clock in the evening, the group returned to Sijiucheng and first sent Wang Aiguo back to Xinjiekou.

"Xiao Kun, Teacher Peng, Teacher He, come in and sit for a while?"

"It's already nine o'clock, I won't sit down."

"Okay, slow down."

"Go to my master's house for dinner on the 18th, if you're not in Yangcheng by then."

"Okay, I'll go over and help you early in the morning. I can't do other things, but setting the table and washing the dishes is no problem."

"gone."

Yang Yukun turned around and left, then sent Peng Tao and his family of three to No. 4 Middle School.

"Slow down, Xiaokun."

"Number 18, don't forget it."

"Can't forget."

"I forgot to take something."

Yang Yukun opened the trunk and took the things out of the car.

After returning from their hometown in Shicheng County, Peng Tao and his family of three brought a lot of things.

"Forgot."

Peng Tao hurried back, picked up the things, and carried them into the school.

By the time Yang Yukun parked the car at the door of his house, it was already past 9:30 in the evening.

He came back without greeting Xu Jingping in advance, and by then Xu Jingping and the children had already gone to bed.

"Woof woof woof..."

"Black Panther, it's me, knock knock knock..."

"Xiao Kun."

Xu Jingping had just fallen asleep when he heard Black Panther's cry and Yang Yukun's voice, so he hurried over to open the door.

"Wife, I'm back." Yang Yukun said with a smile and opened his arms to hug Xu Jingping.

"Why are you back so late?"

"Old Ding insisted that we go to his house for dinner, which delayed us for some time."

"Why didn't you give me a call when you got back?"

"Isn't this a surprise for you? Where are the children? Are they asleep?"

"Sleep."

"Black Panther, hush... don't wake up Little Zongzi, Pingping, and Little Corn."

Yang Yukun parked the car and pulled over to the side of the alley at the door.

Little Zongzi, Pingping and Little Yumi have fallen asleep. Don't wake them up. (End of this chapter)
