Siheyuan: Domineering life

There are still ten days until the Chinese New Year.

During this period, the children are on vacation and the house is bustling, but Yang Jun's unit is very busy. It is the end of the year, so he needs to prepare what needs to be prepared and finish what needs to be finished.

Yang Jun had been busy for a whole week and finally had a little time to relax.

The weather was clear that day, but snowflakes were still floating in the sky.

A group of children were playing snowball fights and making snowmen in the yard, chattering so loudly that it made my head hurt.

After finishing his meal, Yang Jun did not go to the glass house, but walked around in the backyard with his hands behind his back.

Yesterday, my mother Wang Yuying brought me back from the ancestral hall to celebrate the New Year.

Yang Jun walked into his mother's yard with his hands behind his back. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw his mother fiddling with banknotes.

There was an old box on the coffee table in front of her. Yang Jun clearly remembered that this box was part of her mother's dowry and it was almost fifty years old.

The coffee table was filled with a pile of banknotes.

Apart from tens of thousands of yuan, the only things left were various tickets, such as grain tickets, wine tickets, oil tickets, meat tickets, etc.

Seeing Yang Jun coming, Wang Yuying just looked up and then continued to count her money.

"Is something wrong?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just came to see you."

After saying that, he sat down opposite her and lit a cigarette.

"Mom, what are you doing this for?" Yang Jun asked.

"The New Year is coming soon, so we should prepare red envelopes for the children and also take stock of the family assets," said Wang Yuying.

"Mom, don't prepare the red envelope. Qiu Shui has already prepared it."

It is still 1985, and the market is still using both money and food coupons. Yang Jun clearly remembers that the use of food coupons was stopped in 1993.

He casually glanced at the food coupons on the coffee table. It seemed to be a considerable sum. Wang Yuying had saved money over the years to save food coupons, and with the food coupons given to her by her children as gifts, the total amount was more than ten thousand kilograms. These were all national food coupons, and there was no such thing as expiration.

Thinking that the food coupons would stop being used in a few years, Yang Jun advised: "Mom, use these coupons as soon as possible, because they will expire in a few years."

"Expired?"

Wang Yuying rolled her eyes at him and said, "You've only had enough food for a few years, and you've forgotten what it was like to be hungry before?"

"The current policies are constantly changing, but the food policy will not change. Food coupons have been used for 40 to 50 years. How can they be abolished just like that?"

"You don't run the household, so you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. If you didn't calculate every day, would you five brothers and sisters have grown up?"

Perhaps because of her age, Wang Yuying has become nagging and talks endlessly.

Yang Jun didn't find it annoying, on the contrary he felt it was a kind of enjoyment.

There is nothing in the world that can make people feel warmer than mother's love. At his age, he feels very happy to be able to listen to his mother's nagging.

"Mom, you don't understand the policy as well as I do. If I say you should use it as soon as possible, then it won't become a pile of waste paper, and it will be too late to regret it then." Yang Jun said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuying stopped counting money and looked at him seriously.

“You mean the policy needs to change?”

"Yeah." Yang Jun nodded.

In 1993, grain coupons were completely abolished, but meat coupons, oil coupons, wine coupons and other coupons were abolished before 1993.

"Are you sure?" Wang Yuying asked doubtfully.

"Mom, look at your eyes, it's like I lied to you, don't you know what your son does?"

"Mom, you're used to being poor. You're afraid that if the policy changes, our family will go hungry again." Wang Yuying said with a smile.

"Mom, even if the policy changes, no one will starve, but our family will not starve." Yang Jun said with a smile.

Given his current status, how could he possibly go hungry?

Besides, doesn’t he still have a system? There are mountains of food and grain in his space.

"Okay, Mom will listen to you." Wang Yuying said, "I will give all these notes to Qiu Shui later and let her spend them as soon as possible."

"Just give her the ticket and keep the money. Money never expires anyway," Yang Jun reminded.

"Hey, mom, what do you need the money for? I don't have to worry about food and drink. I don't need it at all. I save all this to give the children New Year's money during the Spring Festival."

"Well, whatever you like."

Yang Jun couldn't persuade her, so he could only let her go.

"By the way, when is Ruolan's due date?" Wang Yuying suddenly asked.

"March 8th of next year."

"March 8th... is a good day, your father's birthday is on that day." Wang Yuying said with a smile on her face: "Ruolan must be pregnant with a boy."

"Well, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. You don't lack grandchildren anyway." Yang Jun teased.

"Although I have no shortage of grandchildren, mom still hopes it's a boy."

"You favor boys over girls." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"What's wrong with favoring boys over girls? Is mom proud?" Wang Yuying rolled her eyes.

"Well, I can't argue with you."

Wang Yuying is no longer the same as before. In the past, when she had few children, she would urge the birth of her baby every few days. Now that she has more children, she is not so pushy anymore.

However, she is still the Wang Yuying who favors boys over girls.

"By the way, Jun'er, why do I keep seeing you running to Ruolan's yard these days? She's not feeling well right now, so please don't mess around."

When Yang Jun heard this, his old face suddenly turned red.

"Mom, didn't you say that she's pregnant now and asked me to spend more time with her?"

"Besides, I'm not messing around."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuying rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just be careful."

After that, he continued, "It's been almost a year since Qingxiang gave birth to Little Twelve. She's still so young, why don't you let her have another child?"

"Mom, Qingxiang already has three children, do you still want him to have another one?" Yang Jun said with a bitter face.

He had eight women, each of whom gave birth to at least two children for him, and Yang Qingxiang gave birth to three.

Even though Yang Qingxiang has been with Yang Jun for the longest time, she is not very old. When she first followed Yang Jun, she was only sixteen years old. Now she is at most thirty-two years old, which is the best age for a woman to have children.

"What about Yani and Wenya? They only have two children."

Without waiting for his reply, Wang Yuying continued, "And why don't Nalan Qingyun, Qingxiang, and Nini have children?"

"Nini has been with you for quite some time. It's time for her to have a baby. It will be harder for her to have a baby when she's older, and it won't be easy for her to recover in the future."

Listening to Wang Yuying's nagging, Yang Jun felt annoyed again.

Human beings are strange animals and a combination of contradictions.

Sometimes I like to nag, and sometimes I am very annoying.

Just like now, he was most afraid that Wang Yuying would induce labor.

They already have twelve children, why are you still rushing them?

"Mom, don't rush me. I know what I'm doing." Yang Jun held his forehead and said.

"You always say you know what's going on, but I've never seen you get anxious. Don't always think about yourself, but also think about them." Wang Yuying complained: "If a woman doesn't have her own children, she won't be able to gain a foothold in this family in the future. No matter what, you have to think about them."

Yang Jun held his forehead, feeling a headache.

"If a woman can't get pregnant, there will be problems. Don't be too careless."

"After a woman has a child, her heart will be at peace. As long as they are at peace, the family will be at peace."

"Don't leave all your property to Cheng Dao. You should also take care of the other children. Don't let the family become chaotic and chaotic."

"I heard Qiu Shui has been working on the family property recently, right?"

"Yes." Yang Jun nodded.

Wang Yuying frowned when she heard this.

"You are the head of the family, how can you let Qiu Shui do whatever he wants?"

"Although Qingxiang and the others are concubines, the children are your own. As a father, you must treat them equally and don't let them hate you in the future."

"Mom, I understand." Yang Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of the housework."

Wang Yuying frowned even more when she heard this. "You just said you would take care of it, but I didn't see you do anything. Qiu Shui has almost taken away all the family property. What are you going to give to the other children?"

"Mom, your son is not a fool, how could he not be prepared?"

Yang Jun said: "Don't worry, I have already made preparations."

"Well, as long as you know the situation." Wang Yuying sighed.

Seeing that the conversation had come to this point, Yang Jun didn't want to listen to her nagging anymore.

So, he stood up and said, "Mom, you are busy, I will go to see the child."

"Wait a moment."

Wang Yuying called him, glared at him fiercely, and then stuffed all the tickets on the coffee table into the box.

"Give these tickets to Qiu Shui and let her use them as soon as possible."

After that, another sentence came: "Remember to change the box back."

"I got it, Mom."

After saying that, Yang Jun left with the box.

When we arrived at the backyard, Yi Qiu Shui and a few others were sitting in the living room wrapping red envelopes.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it’s time to prepare red envelopes.

Every Chinese New Year, the amount of red envelopes Yang Jun gives out is not a small amount.

Not only his own children, but also his younger brothers and sisters and their children, as well as Yang Anguo, Yang Anbang, and a group of godchildren and grandchildren. He received at least a hundred red envelopes.

"Mom asked me to give it to you."

Yang Jun placed the box directly in front of Yi Qiu Shui.

"what?"

As Yi Qiushui spoke, she opened the box and found that it was full of various coupons. She pouted and said, "My mother really knows how to live. I didn't expect that she had quietly saved so many food coupons."

After saying that, he closed the lid, then called a nanny over and asked her to use the money for daily household expenses.

"Remember to return the box to mom." Yang Jun reminded.

"Yes, Mr. Yang." The nanny responded and then left with the box.

"It's not a good thing, why do you treat it as a treasure?" Yi Qiu Shui said with a smile.

"You know shit."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes and said, "That's my mother's dowry."

"Haha, so that's how it is." Yi Qiushui said with a smile: "Then you really have to treasure it."

"Speaking of dowry, I think we didn't buy anything when we got married."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Is it my fault?"

"Shouldn't you blame Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo for not having a dowry?"

"I was just saying it casually, why did you take it seriously?" Yi Qiu Shui glared at him.

Hearing this, Yang Jun smacked his lips and said, "Just be content. None of them have dowries, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingxiang, Huang Yani and others just smiled and didn't dare to respond at all.

If Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui were talking about other things, they could still intervene, but if they were talking about this, they didn't dare to get involved.

They were just concubines, which was not legitimate to begin with, let alone dowry.

"Is it my fault?"

Yi Qiu Shui used his words to fight back against him, and finally she got the better of him.

"If you don't bring them home, they can get married like normal girls and have their own dowries."

"After all, isn't this all your fault?"

When Yang Jun heard this, the muscles on his face twitched continuously.

"That doesn't make sense to you."

After that, pat your butt and leave.

"That's because you're in the wrong."

Yi Qiu Shui's voice came from behind.

After Yang Jun came out of the living room, he went straight to the front yard.

As we walked along, we saw snowmen made by children on both sides of the road.

There was no room in the backyard, so they had to move to the front yard.

They symmetric all kinds of animals, including ducks, pandas, monkeys and so on.

You can also see scarves, coats, glasses and other things on it, which looks very lifelike.

When we got to the front yard, the children were no longer making snowmen. They split into two groups and were having a snowball fight.

The two oldest children, Yang Chengdao and Yang Chengcai, were on one side, and the other ten or so children were on the other side. They divided into two groups and threw snowballs at each other.

"Dad, come and help us, my brother is so awesome."

The little girl Yang Chenglan saw Yang Jun at a glance, ran over and put a request into his hand.

"Dad, throw my brother away."

"Okay, okay, Dad will help you."

After saying that, Yang Jun threw a snowball and hit Yang Chengdao directly on the head.

"That's not fair."

Yang Chengdao shouted, "You already have more people, and you still ask adults for help. This is so unfair."

After saying that, he clapped his hands and said, "No more playing."

"Brat, come back here."

Yang Jun grabbed him back and put him among the crowd.

"As an older brother, how can you not play with your younger siblings?"

After that, he directly held his hands and said to the children: "Children, throw him for me."

"Okay, okay, Dad is awesome."

When the children heard this, they jumped for joy and grabbed snowballs and threw them at him.

However, as he was throwing it, Yang Jun felt something was wrong.

He felt that he was hit by more snowballs than Yang Chengdao, and it seemed that the group of kids were targeting him deliberately.

"Okay, you guys are so bad. Daddy is helping you, but you still bully Daddy."

Yang Jun immediately let go of Yang Chengdao and said to Yang Chengcai, "The three of us will deal with them."

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengcai and Yang Chengdao laughed after hearing this.

Just throw a snowball at him.

"Hey, hey, hey...you have no moral principles."

"Go ahead, follow me and take down Lao Yang."

Yang Chengdao waved his fists, roared, and led a group of children to charge at Yang Jun.

"Go, those old Yangs."

A group of children also followed suit and called him Lao Yang, which almost made Yang Jun's nose crooked with anger.

"Just wait for me..."

Before Yang Jun could finish his words, he was greeted by a violent storm.

When he looked up, he saw Yi Qiu Shui and her group of people joining the battle and charging towards him.

"Go ahead, take down Lao Yang..." (End of this chapter)
