Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

the next day.

Sunday.

Yang Yukun stretched out his body in the yard and did two sets of boxing. Just after he finished his exercise, he heard someone knocking on the door.

When the door was opened, the ones knocking were the little guys named Fifteenth, Tenth, and Little Ware.

"Uncle Kun, good morning."

"Morning, Uncle Kun."

"Good morning, Uncle Kun. We are here to see Sister Zongzi, Pingping, and Little Corn."

We agreed two days ago to go to the amusement park together this weekend.

Today is the fifteenth and tenth day of the lunar month. Xiao Wenzi did not sleep in. He got up before dawn and came to Qianmen Building to find Xiao Zongzi and the others.

"Fifteenth, tenth day, little mosquito, did you guys come here by yourselves?"

"Yes, Uncle Kun, we took the earliest bus here."

"Come here, do your parents know?"

"Yes, we told them when we left."

"Come in." Yang Yukun invited the little ones into the house.

Xu Jingping came out from the main room: "Fifteenth, tenth day, little mosquito, you are here."

"Good morning, auntie."

"morning."

Chushi asked, "Aunt, are Sister Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi still awake?"

Xu Jingping smiled and said, "They are still sleeping in."

Then the voice of Xiao Zongzi came from the east wing: "Mom, I didn't sleep in. I'm already up."

"Little rice dumplings."

"Sister Xiaozongzi."

"Brother Fifteen, Brother Little Mosquito, you are here on the Tenth Day."

Xiao Zongzi put on her clothes and ran out of the east wing. She had actually woken up a long time ago, but just lay in bed and didn't want to move.

"Pingping, Xiaoyumi, get up, the sun is shining on your butt."

"Brother Fifteen, Sister Chushi, Brother Little Mosquito."

"Don't sleep in, get up quickly, we're going to the amusement park later."

On the fifteenth and tenth day, Little Ware went to wake up Pingping and Little Yumi again.

"Go wash up, we'll go to the hotel to pick up Aunt Yulan and Aunt Natalia and have breakfast together."

Little Zongzi said: "Dad, aren't we having breakfast at home today?"

"Aunt Natalia invited us to eat noodles with soybean paste at Uncle Liu's restaurant.

Don’t you want to go to the amusement park? After breakfast, let’s go directly to the amusement park.”

Yang Yukun fed Black Panther some of last night's leftovers.

They were not having breakfast at home today. Natalia invited them to have dinner at the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old capital.

The children were going to the amusement park, so Yang Yukun took a backpack and put a water bottle and other things in it, and also took some fruits and other things.

"Mom and Dad, let's go call Feifei, Mengmeng, and Xiaoli first."

"Okay, let's get in the car. Let's go call Xiao Li first, and then call Fei Fei and Meng Meng."

There are more people.

Since there was not enough space in one car, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping each drove a car.

Yang Yukun drove his Chiqi CA770 three-row luxury sedan to take Xiao Zongzi and the other little ones, while Xu Jingping drove the Chiqi CA771 double-row luxury sedan to take Yao Yulan and Natalia.

We first went to pick up Hou Li, Feifei, Mengmeng and the other little ones, and then we headed straight to the February Flower Hotel.

"Dad, Mom, Aunt Yulan and Aunt Natalia are coming down."

"Aunt Yulan, Aunt Natalia."

"Magnolia, Natalia."

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, good morning, good morning little ones."

"Good morning, Aunt Natalia."

"Good morning, Aunt Yulan."

In the lobby on the first floor of February Flower Hotel, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping brought the little ones to meet up with Yao Yulan and Natalia.

After greeting each other, the group left the February Flower Hotel and went to the Xidan headquarters of the old capital's No. 1 noodle restaurant.

Liu Yunguang and Hou Su'e are not here. They must have gone to other stores.

Last year, the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old capital opened its fourth store. Now, Liu Yunguang and Hou Su'e no longer need to do all the affairs in the store themselves, all are done by their apprentices.

Over the years, Liu Yunguang has also trained many apprentices, numbering hundreds.

Many of the Zhajiang Noodles restaurants in the capital are now opened by Liu Yunguang's apprentices. After having breakfast at the Xidan headquarters of the old capital's No. 1 Zhajiang Noodles Restaurant, the group went straight to Shijingshan Amusement Park and spent a day playing with the kids in the park.

…………

"Ding ding ding..."

"Teacher Peng, my buddy is outside, at Shijingshan Amusement Park."

"Go back immediately."

"Okay, see you later."

Xu Jingping asked: "Xiao Kun, what's Teacher Peng's phone number?"

"Yes, he is at our door."

Just after coming out of the amusement park, Yang Yukun received a call from Peng Tao.

After school yesterday afternoon, Peng Tao and He Hua took their children back to Fangshan to visit their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Yang Yukun called him yesterday morning and said that Yao Yulan had come to the capital and invited old classmates in the capital to get together. They would meet at the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant at 5 pm today.

This afternoon he returned to Sijiucheng from Fangshan and went to Qianmenlouzi to look for Yang Yukun, but found that the door of Yang Yukun's house was locked and no one was at home.

"Get in the car, kids. It's time to go home." Yang Yukun waved his hand and asked the little ones to get in the car.

Fifteen said, "Uncle Kun, please send me to my cousin's house."

"That's fine. Your cousin must not be back yet. I'll take you to your aunt's place in the compound."

"Thank you, Uncle Kun."

"Walk."

After returning to Qianmenlou, Yang Yukun sent Feifei, Mengmeng, Shiwu, Chushi, and Xiao Wanzi to the slum and handed them over to Aunt Han. He then sent Hou Li home and brought Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi back home.

"Teacher Peng."

"Uncle Xiao Taozi."

"Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi." Peng Tao said, "Can't Xu Haoran, Zheng Jianguo, and Zhou Xiafang come?"

"Yes, he said he was busy with work and couldn't attend our class reunion."

"It's understandable that Xu Haoran and Zhou Xiafang are busy at work in the government sector, but Zheng Jianguo is a teacher and doesn't have time for a normal weekend off?"

"After working six days a week, it's understandable that they finally have a weekend off to deal with their own affairs. After all, they are married and have children now, and it's not like before they got married."

"Right."

"Where are Teacher He and Yiheng? We can bring family members to our class gathering today, so why didn't you bring Teacher He and Yiheng?"

"I'll go back and pick them up later."

Yang Yukun then asked Xu Jingping: "Wife, where is Natalia?"

"She went to see the master."

Yang Yukun sent Feifei and the other little ones to the slum. Xu Jingping took Yao Yulan and Natalia home first, and then Natalia went to Yanzhi Hutong.

"It's almost time, let's go." Yang Yukun looked at the time, it was almost half past four.

Peng Tao said, "I'll go home first to pick up Teacher He and Yiheng, and we'll meet at the Wangfujing branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant later."

"Row."

The group split into two groups. Peng Tao went back to No. 4 Middle School to pick up his wife and children, while Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping, and Yao Yulan took Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, and Xiao Yumi to Wangfujing first.

After a while, Yang Yukun and his group of six arrived at the Hunan cuisine restaurant of Zhiweilou Restaurant Wangfujing Branch.

"Old Hao, sister-in-law, Old Cheng, Master Zhao."

"Xiao Kun, Jing Ping, you are finally here. Lao Hao and I have been waiting for you for more than half an hour." Cheng Zhongguo said with a smile, "Long time no see, classmate Yao Yulan."

Yao Yulan smiled and said, "Classmate Cheng Zhongguo, classmate Hao Aiguo, long time no see. You two must be my sisters-in-law, right? Hello."

Zhao Huijun and Ding Aifen replied: "Hello, Zhao Huijun (Ding Aifen)."

Zhao Huijun then greeted Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping: "Director Yang, Director Xu."

Yang Yukun asked: "Master Xiao Zhao, where is my nephew Wenjie? Why didn't you bring him here with you?"

Cheng Zhongguo said: "Wenjie went back to Huairou to visit his grandparents."

Little Zongzi, Pingping and Little Yumi greeted them, "Uncle Cheng, Auntie, Uncle Hao, Auntie."

"Hey, Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, I haven't seen you guys for a long time. You have grown a lot taller than before."

"whee……."

"Boy, come here. Why are you hiding? Don't you recognize your uncle Kun?" Yang Yukun waved at the little guy hiding behind Ding Aifen.

Hao Aiguo said with a smile: "Lele, this is Uncle Kun and Auntie, this is Aunt Yulan, Sister Xiao Zongzi and Sister Xiao Yumi, and Brother Pingping."

"Hello, Uncle Kun, hello, Auntie, hello, Aunt Yulan, Sister Xiao Zongzi, Sister Xiao Yumi, Brother Pingping."

"Hello Lele."

"Come here, let Uncle Kun see if you have grown taller." Yang Yukun picked up the little guy and rubbed his head into a doghouse.

This little guy is called Hao Ren, and his nickname is Lele. He is the son of Hao Aiguo and Ding Aifen. He was born in the same year as Pingping and Xiaoyumi, and is three months younger than Pingping and Xiaoyumi. (End of this chapter)
