Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 337

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Yang Shuning was the last one to arrive home from get off work. Although the courtyard at this time could not be called crowded, it could be said to be very lively.

Yang Shuning's family of five, Yang Shuchen's family of four, Yang Shuhao's family of four, An Xin and Ouyang Yi couple, An Tai couple, An Jie and their three children, as well as Nan Yi and the helpers he brought, the total number reached 23 people.

"Aunt Anjie, cousin, I'm sorry. I have a lot of work recently and I can't come back early to receive you. I'm sorry."

When Yang Shuning arrived at the living room, the usually empty living room was now a little crowded. Seeing Anjie and An Tai, Yang Shuning could only confess first.

It doesn't matter that Yang Shuning doesn't know An Tai, but he has watched the TV series, so he can naturally recognize An Tai.

"Not too late, not too late. Work is important, so I can't delay your work."

An Tai looked at Yang Shuning with a star hanging on his shoulder, and sighed that Yang Shuning was young, handsome and powerful. At the same time, he couldn't help but regret that he had not contacted this Buddha earlier.

"That's right, this is the normal off-duty time. We just arrived early."

Ouyang Yi is an associate professor, but now because a lot of work has not been carried out normally, he has more free time, so he can naturally come early.

"Since Ning'er is here, let's sit down early. We can't let down the dishes carefully prepared by Master Nan."

Seeing that Yang Shuning had also arrived home, Yang's mother began to arrange for the table to be seated. If the meal could not be served in time in this kind of weather, the dishes prepared in advance would easily go cold and the taste would be worse.

There are a group of senior people in the living room now. They were either capitalists or big landowners when they were young (Yang Shuning’s grandfather was a capitalist and landlord earlier, the An family was a capitalist, Yang’s mother was a big landowner before, and An Tai’s wife was also a big landowner before). They are all very particular about their etiquette, and Mother Yang doesn't want to be picked on by others.

When we arrived at the restaurant, because Yang's mother was the senior and oldest, she sat at the main seat.Yang Shuning, on the other hand, wanted to fulfill his duties as a landlord and had the highest status, so he took the position of guest of honor. An Jie gave up the position of guest of honor to An Tai.

Because there were so many people, they were divided into two tables. Jiang Yafei and Jiang Yaning were placed at the same table as the children by An Jie, which made Jiang Yafei roll her eyes at An Jie.

"Cousin, aunt, aunt, and Yafianing Weimin, this is your first time in the capital. My mother is very happy that you can come to our home, and this also shows the closeness between our families. It is real and strong, and the affection between us has not faded over the years. On this occasion of our happy gathering, as the landlord, I would like to propose a toast to you all, and wish that our affection is like water, light and long-lasting, and that our affection is like tea, fragrant and fragrant. Pure, family love is like rain, thin and continuous, family love is like snow, loose and bright."

"Please share a glass of wine with us all!"

Yang Shuning stood up, picked up the wine glass, and took the lead in making a toast as the talker of the Yang family. After speaking, he picked up the wine in the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Of course, the wine we drank tonight was not white wine. The gay men drank rice wine, and the lesbians drank red wine. If they are not strong enough, then they will be treated like children. Children will naturally drink soda and juice.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, white wine was not on the market, and high-end wines were mostly used in rice wine and red wine. (Don’t be ridiculous. Think about why liquor is so popular. Think about why Audi, a once-defunct brand, is so popular.)
After hearing the toast, everyone at the head table drank it all. "Okay, well said, family ties last forever. Here, although Defu is not here, I have been deeply helped by family ties in my life. Shu Ning, An Jie, I toast you and thank you two for these years. For your unwavering help and care for our family.”

"It was my family An Xin who gave me the courage to continue living. It was Shu Ning and Defu who helped me get out of the gloom. It was Shu Ning who helped me solve my work and the future of my two daughters."

Ouyang Yi, who had suffered for more than ten years, was the one who received the most help. At this time, he was a little emotional. It was really difficult for him in the past few years. Without the help of his relatives, he might be greeted by endless darkness, and he might not be able to survive. He is already a good man again after 18 years.

"Don't get excited, it's all over. We're not living a very good life now."

As soon as Ouyang Yi sat down, An Xinjiu stroked Ouyang Yi's back to help him regain his excitement.

"Here comes the dish, 'The Best'. Please try it. I wish you all the best in your respective fields."

At this moment, Nan Yi personally came out with two plates of the same dishes, placed the dishes on each of the two tables, said a blessing, and continued to go back to the kitchen to get busy.

As for the top spot, it is actually a famous Zhijiang dish. The main ingredients are turtle and rock sugar. It was originally called rock sugar turtle.As early as the late Qing Dynasty, there was a tavern in Zhijiang, and the boss's specialty was rock sugar turtle.One day, two candidates who were going to Beijing to take the exam passed by the tavern and ate rock sugar turtle. They felt it was sweet and soft and glutinous, which whetted their appetite. They even asked the boss what the dish was called. When the boss saw that it was two people who were going to take the exam, he laughed and said This dish is called "Top One".

When Ju Ren heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Ju Ren, who later asked for the name of the dish, was actually the top pick in high school.Later, he specially returned to this restaurant and ordered this dish to be eaten again.Since then, the dish "Topping the Top" has also become a dish that people who are rushing to take the exam will eat, and it has also been included in the menu of the number one scholar.

"Yaning, you are still studying now, so you should eat this dish carefully and be blessed with the number one dish."

Mother Yang turned to Jiang Yaning and said that as an elder, she also pays close attention to Anjie's only child who is still studying. She likes children who can read and read, and Jiang Yaning, a child with high emotional intelligence and reasonableness, feels that Yaning will be the best in the future. There will definitely be good developments.

"Thank you, auntie, I will definitely try it."

Jiang Yaning also responded to Mother Yang with a smile.

"Sister, I think this kid Jiandong is really good. He has become a college student at such a young age. It's really enviable."

An Jie is very concerned about Yang Jiandong, the eldest son and grandson of the Yang family. He feels that Yang Jiandong is really unique in that he can become a college student at this age.

"What's the matter? He didn't rely on his father's help, otherwise he would still be hiding in some corner now."

In front of outsiders, Wang Xue was embarrassed to speak well of her eldest son and could only belittle him.But to be honest, Yang Jiandong didn't really need to learn any cultural knowledge during his years of study. As a college student, he didn't need to take exams, he only needed recommendations. Yang Jiandong did rely on his good background to be so successful. Otherwise, he would be almost the same as Jiang Weimin now.
