Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

After sending Natasha and her family of three to the airport, Yang Yukun returned home from the airport.

Patting the head of the black panther that ran to the door to greet him, Yang Yukun brought the black panther into the house.

Little Zongzi was practicing martial arts under the crabapple tree. From the first day she started practicing martial arts till now, this girl had never complained about the hardship and she practiced martial arts morning and night, rain or shine.

After a while, the little zongzi finished his work.

"Dad, you are back."

"Girl, where are your mother and your brothers and sisters?"

Xu Jingping, Pingping and Xiao Yumi were not at home, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were not at home either. Only Xiao Zongzi and Hei Bao were at home.

Little Zongzi said, "Mom and the others went to the compound and haven't come back yet."

About an hour after returning home, Yang Yukun heard Xu Jingping and the two children talking. It was Xu Jingping, Pingping and Xiao Yumi who had returned.

"dad."

"came back."

Xu Jingping said: "Mr. Guo had a quarrel with his son, and it was very fierce."

"Fighting again?"

"Correct."

"What's the reason for the quarrel this time?"

"Mr. Guo has recently become obsessed with antiques. He bought several antiques without telling his son and daughter-in-law, and spent all his pension savings over the past few years. But all he bought turned out to be fakes. People from the neighborhood committee and the street office came."

Hearing that Grandpa Guo and his son were arguing again, Xu Jingping and his parents went to the slum to check out the situation.

This was not the first time that Mr. Guo had quarreled with his son. On New Year’s Eve last year, he ran to the entrance of the alley and drank alone because of the quarrel with his son.

The quarrel was caused by the fact that Mr. Guo used all of his pension to buy antiques, but all he bought turned out to be fakes.

After Mr. Guo's son and daughter-in-law found out about this, they were furious and threatened to separate from Mr. Guo, which alarmed everyone in the neighborhood committee and the street office.

"This old man is so bored, why not play some chess or go fishing?"

You can't deal with antiques without solid professional skills. Nine out of ten so-called old items on the market today are not real things. If you don't know anything about them but want to learn from others to find bargains, I don't know what this old man is thinking.

"The reason why Uncle Guo wants to learn how to pick up bargains from others has something to do with you."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"It all started because Sister Su Meng's uncle found a Song Dynasty antique in Panjiayuan some time ago and sold it for hundreds of thousands. He also said that any piece of furniture in our house could be sold for hundreds of thousands, and that some of the old items in Master's house and the collections in Brother Xiaowu's museum could even be sold for millions.

When Mr. Guo heard what Boss Liu said, he was immediately moved. He thought he could do it too, so he used all his pension and bought several imitations from Panjiayuan.

Now, his son and daughter-in-law want to separate from him, and the neighborhood committee and the street office are still mediating. "

An antique can be sold for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions. If you can find one, you can make a fortune.

Unfortunately, Uncle Guo overestimated his abilities. He wanted to learn from others to make a fortune by picking up bargains without knowing anything. In the end, he not only spent all his savings over the years, but even his son and daughter-in-law had to separate from him.

"Every profession has its own specialty. If you don't have the skills, how dare you take on a job? If he doesn't make mistakes, who will?"

Yang Yukun didn't want to comment too much on the matter of Mr. Guo's eye trouble. He could only say that the old man had it all his own fault.

It’s getting late, so I’ll wash my face, brush my teeth, wash my feet, and then go back to my room to sleep.

…………

During the following period of time, Yang Yukun would go to the museum construction site when he had nothing to do, and stroll around Zhiwei Wine Industry, Kunping Charity Foundation, and Pangu Automotive Asia Sales Company.

When Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu are free, they go fishing together.

A blink of an eye.

It's winter vacation.

In the first semester of the first grade, Xiao Zongzi scored full marks in all subjects in the final exams.

"Girl, what do you want to eat tonight? Dad will make it for you."

"Dad, I want to eat roast duck."

"no problem."

Since she got full marks in every subject, we must celebrate and make a sumptuous meal to reward this girl.

I want to eat roast duck.

no problem.

Arrange now.

Yang Yukun immediately took out a few ducks and geese from his portable planting space, and after processing them, he hung them in the oven to roast them.

“Ding ding ding ding….”

"Dad, someone is calling you." Little Zongzi was watching TV in the living room when he heard his father's mobile phone ringing.

"Take it."

"Okay." Xiao Zongzi answered the phone: "Hello, hello, who are you looking for?" "Xiao Zongzi, it's me."

"Uncle Xiao Taozi."

"I'm looking for your dad. Let your dad answer the phone."

"Uncle Xiao Taozi, wait a moment." Xiao Zongzi picked up the mobile phone and ran to the kitchen to find his father: "Dad, it's Uncle Xiao Taozi."

Yang Yukun wiped his hands and took the phone, smiling, "Teacher Peng, why are you calling? Do you want to treat me to a drink?"

"My friend is going back to his hometown in Shicheng County to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. Come to my house for dinner tonight, near No. 4 Middle School."

"I'm already making it. Why don't you come over to my place? I've made roast duck and roast goose. You can take two to eat on the road tomorrow."

"Alright, wait, I'll be right there."

Every winter and summer vacation, Peng Tao and He Hua would take their children back to their hometown in Shicheng County.

There are only ten days left until the Chinese New Year. They have already packed their luggage and bought train tickets for tomorrow morning.

It has been a while since the two brothers have met. Before returning to his hometown in Shicheng County, Peng Tao plans to treat Yang Yukun and others to a meal.

Since Yang Yukun is already preparing dinner and has made roast duck and roast goose, let's go to Yang Yukun's place to drink.

Half an hour later, Peng Tao and his family of three arrived at Yang Yukun's house.

"Uncle Xiao Taozi, Auntie, Brother Yiheng."

"Little rice dumplings."

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "Teacher Peng, Teacher He, you came quite quickly."

"Uncle Kun."

"Hey, there's some fruit in the room, go get some and eat it yourself."

"Got it."

Lotus said, "Is Jingping not at home?"

"Going to the company."

Xu Jingping has been very busy in the past two months and goes to the company almost every day.

In order to prepare for a chef training school, the company will also launch a hotpot chain project and a food company project, and will integrate the various projects of Zhiweilou Catering Company to form the Zhiweilou Group.

During this period, the company held a small meeting every five days and a large meeting every ten days. Yang Yukun was called by Xu Jingping to attend two meetings to discuss the establishment of Zhiweilou Group and the personnel appointments of various departments and companies.

Peng Yiheng asked: "Where are Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi? Where did they go?"

"I went to play with Xiaoli and the others. They should be at Uncle Jun's house."

"Let's go find them."

"Okay."

Xiao Zongzi and Peng Yiheng went to find Pingping, Xiao Yumi and others.

"The kid from the Ding family has made great contributions in the army." Peng Tao chewed an apple and said, "This kid is really great. He has only been in the army for a short time and he has already received a military medal."

"Jianhua is a really good kid. Old Ding called us to share the good news and he was so happy."

Some time ago, Yang Yukun and others received a call from Ding Baosong announcing the good news.

The reason was that Ding Jianhua had made meritorious service in the army and was awarded a third-class medal of honor. The good news was sent home.

On the phone, Ding Baosong laughed so happily and said he would treat them to a drink.

"Jianhua is better than Zhihua from the old He family. Zhihua has been a conscript in the army for three years and didn't even get a place to stay in the army. Jianhua might be able to get promoted."

"You can't say that. In fact, Zhihua had the opportunity to stay in the team and become a non-commissioned officer, but he didn't want to stay and insisted on coming back."

When He Zhihua's conscription service ended, he could have stayed in the army and become a non-commissioned officer, but he himself did not want to stay in the army.

After retiring from the army, this boy went to work in the south. He currently works in a shoe factory in Guangdong, sewing on a sewing machine very fast.

However, Ding Jianhua will definitely stay in the army longer than He Zhihua.

This kid is aiming to work in the army for his whole life. Not long after joining the army, he has won a third-class merit. Previously, this kid also said that he wanted to take the entrance exam for a military academy in the army. Maybe he can be promoted to an officer in the future.

"Master, Uncle Xiao Taozi, Auntie."

"Xiaohua is here."

"Why are you here, kid?"

"Master, I've been missing you, so I came to see you." Liu Yuehua was taking a day off today, so he brought two bottles of good wine to see his master.

"You come here alone, where is my disciple's wife?"

"She is shopping in the Xidan mall with some classmates. I will pick her up later." Liu Yuehua said with a smile: "Master, are we having roast duck tonight? I can smell the aroma of roast duck."

"Your nose is sharper than that of a black panther." Yang Yukun took a look at the roast duck and goose in the oven, and then went to prepare other dishes.

Ask the disciple to go back to Yanzhi Hutong and call the old man and his friends over, and ask Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, Mao Ditu, Fan Xiaojun and others to come over for a drink. (End of this chapter)
