Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Dad, Mom, don't look anymore. My sister and brother-in-law have gone far away."

Yang Jing saw her parents staring at the entrance of the alley in a trance, and the wedding convoy had already disappeared from their sight.

“I feel empty inside.”

The children are already quite old, and Xu Jingping hopes they can get married soon.

Now that the eldest girl is married, she feels empty inside.

Yang Yukun said, "It's not far away. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. I can see it every day in the future."

"I want to see this girl every day. It would be great if I could come back once a year."

"It seems so."

The children are busy with work and may not be able to come back once a year.

Even if we live close to each other, we may not see each other throughout the whole year.

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days, relatives, friends, and neighbors. Let's go over at ten o'clock and have breakfast at the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant."

The wedding banquet of the eldest girl and her son-in-law is still scheduled to be held at the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant. At that time, Yang Yukun’s relatives, friends and neighbors will all go there to have the banquet together.

Most of the guests went back to their homes after the banquet yesterday, leaving only close friends and relatives and neighbors to see the eldest girl off.

The eldest son-in-law has relatively few relatives and friends, and with the neighbors, there are only thirty-six tables.

There were sixty-seven tables of Yang Yukun’s relatives, friends and neighbors.

Together with relatives, friends, and neighbors from both sides, there were 104 tables.

The wedding will start at 10:30, and the banquet will start after the wedding. They just need to go there at 10 o'clock.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Yukun and his party rushed to the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant to meet up with his in-laws' eldest daughter and son-in-law.

The wedding started at half past ten, and Yang Yukun handed the eldest girl to his eldest son-in-law.

At half past eleven, the wedding banquet began, and the guests dispersed after the banquet.

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, I'll go directly to the airport."

"Yulan, are you going back now? You can spend a few more days in the capital during the National Day holiday."

"I have something else to do at the company. I'll come to the capital to see you when I have time."

After the banquet, Yao Yulan found Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping and said goodbye to them.

She had already bought the plane ticket back to Jiangyou Province yesterday, and the flight would take off at 4:30 pm.

It's only a few minutes before one o'clock now. If I go to the airport to check in and stuff, it will be almost time.

Now is National Day, and she also wants to spend a few more days with her old sisters.

After all, they are all in their fifties and are about to turn sixty. They can only get together a few times a year, and every time they get together, it’s one less time.

But her company did have some matters that required her to rush back to deal with them, so she couldn't stay in the capital for long.

Ming Xiaofen said, "Yulan, I think you should just hand over the company to Shuangxi and enjoy your retirement life."

Xu Jingping said: "Xiao Kun and I have no choice. Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi are unwilling to come back and take over our business. Otherwise, Xiao Kun and I would have retired long ago."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping originally planned to hand over the company to their children after they graduated from college, and then they would officially retire.

Who knew that the children were unwilling to come back and take over their business, so they had to continue to manage the company themselves.

The eldest girl and her son have started a family, and the youngest girl will also get married in December this year.

They only hope to have grandchildren as soon as possible, and hope that their grandchildren will grow up quickly so that they can leave the company to them.

"Wait another two years, and then I'll hand the company over to Shuangxi and his wife."

After her son graduated from university, Yao Yulan arranged for him to work in the company.

Start as a grassroots employee and gradually become familiar with the company's operating procedures.

In another two years, Yao Yulan will hand over the company to her son and daughter-in-law, and then officially retire to take care of her grandchildren at home.

"Fifteen, come here." Yang Yukun glanced around and saw Mao Wenming, so he waved to him to come over.

Mao Wenming said, "What's wrong, Uncle Kun?"

"I'll be alright soon. Drive your Aunt Yulan to the airport."

"No problem, Aunt Yulan, shall we go now?"

Yao Yulan said, "Please take me to the February Flower Hotel first. I will go and get my luggage."

"Okay, I'll drive the car over." Mao Wenming went to drive.

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, Yi Yi, Jing Jing, Xiao Fen, I'm going to go back first. Come to my house and play when you have time."

"Go slowly, Magnolia."

"Send us a message when you get home."

"it is good."

"Fifteen, drive slower and be safe."

"Okay." Mao Wenming first sent Yao Yulan to the February Flower Hotel, and then went straight to the airport after Yao Yulan packed her luggage.

The capital is a popular tourist city with tourists all year round, and even more people come to the capital during the National Day holiday.

After finally getting out of the city, we encountered a traffic jam on the highway.

The original driving time was 40 minutes, plus the time to get to the February Flower Hotel, which would take at most an hour, but it ended up taking two hours, and we didn't arrive at the airport until three in the afternoon. Fortunately, it didn't delay Yao Yulan from catching her flight.

…………

After the wedding of the eldest girl and her son-in-law, after the guests left, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping returned to the alley, while the eldest girl and her family returned to their home in Huafengyuan Community.

Friends, relatives, and neighbors have all gone home, and Han Chunming and his group have also gone home to catch up on their sleep. They haven't slept well in the past two days.

The only people left at home were Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, master, and his disciples and their wives.

Wang Aiguo, Ding Baosong and their group went out to play together and borrowed a camera from Yang Yukun to take travel photos.

"Dad, Mom, Master, Grandpa, Grandma, Brother Hua, Sister-in-law."

"On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Yumi, didn't you go shopping at the mall? Why are you back so soon?"

"Too many people."

It’s been a long time since I last came back. Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I stayed at home for a day and then went back to work. I didn’t have a good time going out.

After returning home, Yang Jing called her sister-in-law and planned to take a stroll in the Zhiweilou City Plaza near her home.

Crowds of people.

The water is blocked.

All I could see when I looked around was the backs of other people's heads.

The two of them didn't even go into the mall. They walked around outside the mall and saw so many people that they didn't want to go shopping anymore, so they came back.

It is better to leave the place for tourists from afar, and the locals like them should stay at home to make room for the guests from afar.

Xu Jingping said, "You two stayed up late last night, don't you want to catch up on some sleep?"

"I am not sleepy."

Staying up all night was no big deal for Yang Jing, as she had practiced martial arts since childhood and had a good physical fitness.

She hadn't slept for two days and two nights for the sake of an experimental data.

"Sister-in-law, are you sleepy? Go and have a rest."

Mao Luzhu said: "I'm not very sleepy. I only slept for a few hours last night. If I sleep now, I won't be able to fall asleep at night."

"I'll call Chengjing and the others and ask them where they are."

"Stop fighting. Chengjing and Chengtian have gone back to Yangcheng with your fifth aunt and uncle."

"Aunt Wu and the others went to Yangcheng?"

"They went back to Yangcheng to visit Chengjing and Chengtian's grandparents. Your second aunt and uncle and your youngest aunt and uncle's family went to Simatai. Your fourth uncle and aunt took He He back to their hometown in Tanzhou, Hunan."

"Well, I said I would invite Chengjing and the others to go to the movies tonight, but I didn't expect them to go to Yangcheng instead."

Yang Jing wanted to invite her cousins ​​to get together in the evening to have some barbecue and watch a movie, but she didn't expect that Cheng Jing and the others were not in the capital at that time.

Those who go go to Yangcheng, those who go go to Xiangchu, and those who return go back to Simatai.

"Your aunt and uncle haven't returned yet."

"Have cousin Xiaozhen and cousin Xiaoli returned?"

"Not yet, I'm still at your uncle Jun's house."

"Lanlan hasn't gone back yet, right?"

"Lanlan hasn't gone home yet. She went out to play with Mengmeng and the others."

"I'll call Mengmeng and ask where they are."

Yang Jing took out her cell phone and called Han Mengsu, and the call was connected after a while.

"Hey, sister-in-law."

"Mengmeng, where are you?"

"Lanlan and I are at the square. There are so many people here. Sister-in-law, where are you?"

"I'm at home, I just came back from outside."

"We are also getting ready to come back. It's not fun to be everywhere with people around. We will go to your house to find you later."

"Okay, see you later."

About ten minutes later, Han Mengsu, Fan Yonglan and Zhang Chengdong, Cai Zhen's family of three, Hou Li's family of three, Qiu Tianci and Chen Lijun, Yang Guangming, Liu Gao, and Liu Min and their group arrived.

"There are people everywhere outside, and many are wandering around our alley. I don't know what's so interesting about this shabby alley."

After returning from the square, Han Mengsu and her friends saw quite a few tourists strolling in the alleys, taking pictures here and there with their cameras.

These tourists from other places find everything very strange. (End of this chapter)
