Siheyuan: Domineering life

These days, the house is particularly lively.

Someone comes to my house every day, and they all come to discuss going out for fun.

Yang Jun was too lazy to get involved in such matters, so he went out after dinner.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon and the children will have their holidays. Everything at home is almost ready and we will set off as soon as the children have their holidays.

Yang Jun was lying in the glass house basking in the sun when the guard came to report that Yang Tang had arrived.

When Yang Jun heard this, he immediately asked the guard to invite him in.

"Idiot, make another pot of tea."

Yang Jun ordered: "Oh, tell the kitchen to prepare some snacks."

After Sun Zhaocai took the order and left, Yang Jun came out of the glass house and stood there waiting for Yang Tang to arrive.

Every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching, Yang Tang always comes to visit and brings some specialties from his hometown every time he comes.

"Great leader!"

From a distance, Yang Tang began to greet Yang Jun.

"coming."

Yang Jun smiled and took two steps forward to meet him.

She took the bags from his hands, then put her arm around his shoulders and walked towards the glass house.

"You must be frozen. Come in and warm yourself up."

"It's not cold. I came here directly after getting off the train."

As Yang Tang spoke, he rubbed his hands and breathed out hot air.

"You know what, the weather in Yanjing is really cold, much colder than my hometown."

"Yeah, it's dry and cold here, my bones ache from the cold."

Yang Jun put the luggage bag aside, then took Yang Tang to sit by the stove to warm themselves by the fire.

Yang Jun used a pair of tongs to poke the fire a little more vigorously, and then threw a roasted sweet potato to Yang Tang.

"Take a bite first to warm yourself up."

"Well, this one is good. I like this one."

Yang Tang happily took the sweet potato and started eating it without even peeling it.

He was a man who lived through that era and had experienced hunger, so he knew the value of food.

Yang Jun didn't say anything. This was a beautiful memory for their generation.

"Why didn't my wife and children come with us?" Yang Jun asked.

"Alas, it's hard to buy a ticket. I can't buy one at all. I bought this ticket under the name of a business trip."

After saying that, Yang Tang smiled and said, "You have to buy me a return ticket later."

"Those are all small matters. Just have fun here for the next two days and don't worry about other things."

"I can't play for two days. I will go back tomorrow. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with at work."

Hearing this, Yang Jun said with a straight face, "You always use this excuse every time you come here. Can you come up with something new?"

"Hey, I'm really busy, I'm just telling the truth."

"Are you busier than me, the big boss?"

"Well... not really. I just wanted to go back early to finish the work at hand, and then spend a peaceful New Year."

After hearing this, Yang Jun's expression eased a lot.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of fun, would you like to spend the New Year with me this year? I plan to take my family out to sea for fun."

"I...I won't go. If you take your family out for fun, I won't get involved."

"What are you talking about? You are my family too. When did I ever treat you as an outsider?"

"Yes, yes, I know that the boss has never treated me as an outsider, but... people also need to have a sense of boundaries. I can't use up your trust in me just because of this."

Yang Tang shook his head and said, "This is not in line with my principles as a human being."

Yang Jun sneered when he heard this.

My father Yang Tang is such a person. He bears everything alone and never causes trouble for others. Once he causes trouble for others, he will always feel guilty.

Yang Jun knew that he couldn't change him, so he could only accept it.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't go. It's awkward for you to be with me anyway."

At this time, the nanny brought the wine and food.

Sun Zhaocai and the other two set the table for the wine and food, then left the glass room.

"Let's have a drink first to warm ourselves up." Yang Jun raised his glass.

"Okay, I toast to you."

Yang Tang held the cup with both hands and they both drank it down in one gulp.

Yang Tang has always treated Yang Jun as a senior leader and was very respectful to him. Over the years, he has always adhered to his duties and never overstepped the boundaries.

"Is work going well?"

Putting down the wine glass, Yang Jun asked.

"Very smooth."

When Yang Tang heard this, he immediately put down his wine glass and reported his work seriously.

"Since you introduced investors to invest in my hometown, the economy has developed rapidly. At present, all aspects have made great progress. The whole city is thriving and the prospects are bright."

Yang Jun held the wine glass and looked at him with a smile, looking at the confident look on his face.

"You speak in a very different way now. You are very different from before."

"Boss, I didn't falsify my results. What I said is all true. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate." Yang Tang panicked when he heard this.

"Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you."

Yang Jun smiled and said, "Seeing that you have matured in politics, I am happy for you. Do you understand?"

“I understand. All of this is dependent on the cultivation of the great leader. Without your strong support, I would not be able to achieve such results.” Yang Tang said modestly.

"Good job."

Yang Jun patted his shoulder and said, "When you achieve results, I will transfer you to Yanjing."

After hearing this, Yang Tang was not happy at all. Instead, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

He didn't want to leave his hometown from the bottom of his heart. On the one hand, he had reasons to stay, and on the other hand, he deeply loved his hometown.

"Boss, I want to report to you about the situation at home."

Yang Tang looked gloomy and was in a low mood.

"Well, you said."

When Yang Jun heard that they were going to talk about family matters, he put down his chopsticks and listened carefully.

He also wanted to know what happened at home, after all, it was his home.

"Hey!"

Yang Tang sighed, then lowered his head and said, "A few days ago, my father was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. The doctor said he doesn't have much time left, so he asked me to stay with him as much as possible during this period."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Then, his memories returned to his previous life.

In his previous life, his grandfather did die of liver cirrhosis in this year, but he was only three or four years old at that time, so he didn't have such a deep impression of his grandfather. In addition, his grandfather died early, so he didn't have such a deep affection for him. Therefore, he didn't show such excitement when he recognized him in this life.

He acted very nonchalant about his grandfather's illness.

Everyone will grow old one day, and as an adult, he has long been prepared for this, so he does not seem to have much emotional fluctuations. "If you need me to do anything, or if you need a doctor or expert, just ask," Yang Jun comforted him.

"Oh, thank you, boss."

Yang Tang raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said: "We don't need any experts at the moment. My father won't live for many days, and I don't want him to suffer any more, so let's leave it at that."

Yang Jun: "Again, if you need anything, just ask, no matter what."

"Thank you, great leader."

Then, Yang Tang started talking about his family affairs again.

"Ever since my eldest brother died, my sister-in-law has been clamoring to remarry. You know, I can't let her remarry with two children, otherwise my brother's bloodline will be cut off."

Listening to Yang Tang’s narration, Yang Jun’s thoughts returned to his previous life.

In his memory, his father seemed to always be revolving around his great aunt. Whenever his great aunt's family needed something, his father would always be the first to send it over, so that she could stay and bring her two children to carry on his great aunt's bloodline.

In his memory, he had a particularly bad impression of his aunt, and he even hated her a little. He hated his aunt for taking away things that belonged to him. He remembered that one Chinese New Year, his father bought a five-jin carp to eat during the Chinese New Year, but it was accidentally seen by his aunt. Then his aunt asked his cousins ​​to find his father and cry in front of him, complaining about how hard life was and how they couldn't make ends meet. Later, his father had no choice but to force him and his brother to carry the fish to his aunt.

He clearly remembered the scene of delivering fish to his aunt that day. At that time, he was only four years old and his younger brother was three years old. The two three or four-year-old children carried a five-jin carp on their tender shoulders, which made them very tired. He clearly remembered that the fish was very big, so big that its tail was dragging on the ground. At that time, he accidentally stepped on the fish tail and fell several times, breaking his leg.

My father did a lot for my aunt, but on the first day of the new year, my aunt still left with my cousins.

My father was like a madman at that time, looking for my aunt everywhere, but couldn't find her.

Later, my father often felt guilty about this matter and blamed himself for not being able to leave bloodline for my great uncle, so much so that he could never let go of the guilt for the rest of his life.

"After the Chinese New Year, I plan to build her three large tiled houses, and then find her a stable job in town..."

Listening to Yang Tang talking about his plan, Yang Jun didn't have the heart to burst his fantasy.

"it's useless."

Yang Jun finally couldn't help it and interrupted him.

Looking at Yang Tang's surprised look, Yang Jun explained: "You haven't done any of these. You don't even know what a woman needs?"

"Yes, you can only give her material help, but she is empty inside, and she is so young... You can't keep her."

Yang Tang shook his head and said, "I know this is not the solution to the problem, but there is only so much I can do. I can't just watch my eldest brother's bloodline being cut off like this."

Yang Jun smiled bitterly when he heard this.

My father is such a person. No matter what happens, he thinks it is his responsibility. He often blames himself because he didn't do better.

"it's useless."

Yang Jun interrupted him again.

He is a time traveler, so he naturally knows what the final outcome will be.

At that time, she treated her aunt very well. In fact, her family's living standard was top-notch in the village. Even so, she still resolutely left home with her children.

My aunt is too young, and precisely because of her youth, she is not satisfied with the status quo. She doesn’t want to be tied to this family for the rest of her life at such a young age.

Leaving is inevitable.

"Great leader."

Yang Tang said solemnly: "Maybe you are right, but I will not give up until the end. I... can only do what I should do."

"whatever."

Yang Jun listened and didn't force it.

He knew his father's character too well. His father was the kind of person who would not turn back even if he hit a wall. It was impossible to ask him to give up.

"No matter what choice you make, I will transfer you to Yanjing in two years."

Yang Jun said in a non-negotiable tone.

Two years later, my grandfather had passed away and my aunt had remarried. By then, my father had no worries and could come to work in Yanjing with peace of mind.

"Big leader..."

Yang Tang wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Yang Jun.

"Okay, there's no room for negotiation on this matter. It's settled."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tang opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Afterwards, the two of them continued drinking.

They talked about work and family matters, but the one they talked about the most was little Yang Jun. The little guy is in kindergarten now, and he is just the same as Yang Jun remembered, naive and silly, with the appearance of a typical country kid. He remembered that all country kids looked like that.

When talking about Xiao Yangjun, the two had endless topics to talk about.

Yang Tang was drunk, so Yang Jun had someone help him to the guest room in the front yard to rest.

Today, I had a very pleasant chat with my father. He drank a couple of extra glasses and got a little drunk.

Then, he packed up and went back to the backyard.

"Hubby, hold on a little longer and drink the hangover soup."

Nini knelt on the bed and helped Yang Jun up with great effort. She held his neck with one hand and fed him sobering soup with the other.

"Uh, I'm drunk. I really can't drink anymore."

Yang Jun had a headache and really didn't want to drink.

"You must drink it, or you will have a headache again tomorrow morning."

Nini brought the bowl to his mouth again.

Yang Jun was drunk and didn't even bother to open his mouth.

He knew in his heart that drinking sobering soup was good for him, but he just couldn't open his mouth.

At this time, Yi Qiu Shui came.

Seeing Yang Jun drunk, and then looking at Nini coaxing Yang Jun to drink sobering soup like a child, he suddenly felt like laughing in anger.

"How can you feed him hangover soup like this? It would be strange if he could drink it."

"Then...what should we do? He's already so drunk, he can't drink anymore."

Nini looked at her with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui sighed.

Then, he shook his head helplessly and said,

"If he won't drink, can't you feed him?"

"I fed him. What can I do if he doesn't drink?"

After saying that, Nini handed the bowl to Yang Jun's mouth again, but Yang Jun still didn't open his mouth.

"Oh, you silly girl."

Yi Qiu Shui rolled her eyes at her, looking disappointed in her.

"Sister, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"I said hello, hello... do you understand?"

"It's the mouth-to-mouth kind."

"Ah?" Nini's face turned red when she heard that.

"Sister Qiushui, I...I..."

Looking at Nini's appearance, Yi Qiu Shui felt very disappointed.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it."

He took the sobering soup from Nini's hand and started feeding her.

"Look carefully and learn something. It will be useful in the future."

After that, he started to demonstrate. (End of this chapter)
