Siheyuan: Domineering life

The passing of the uncle was indeed a pity for Yang Jun.

These days, he has been affected by this sad mood.

Familiar people around him left one by one, including Old Wei, the second uncle, the third uncle, his father-in-law Guo Caodi... and so on. Yang Jun felt more and more lonely. He knew that this day would come sooner or later, and he was mentally prepared, but when this day really came, his mood was still confused.

There is no way. No matter how long you live, you are still a human being. Even a god has seven emotions and six desires. How can he not be affected by such things? All Yang Jun can do is to downplay all this and prepare for the future.

In the future, he will also face the pain of losing his mother, his wife, his children... losing all his family members. Yang Jun really can't imagine whether he will be as calm as he is now when facing all this in the future.

Sometimes, Yang Jun really doesn't want to live forever. Sometimes living too long may not be a good thing.

He didn't have the courage to end his life and could only endure the pain silently.

The only way to reduce pain is to lock yourself up, isolate yourself from the outside world, minimize contact with the outside world, and live in a way that deceives yourself and others, which can be regarded as a way of life.

That day, Yang Jun was still fishing by the river.

There was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the river, with a crack in it, and the fishing rod was just thrown there casually.

He doesn't care whether he can catch any fish or not, he is just showing off under the guise of fishing.

"Jun'er."

At this moment, the voice of my mother Wang Yuying suddenly sounded behind me.

When Yang Jun heard the voice, he turned around and saw his mother walking towards him in a hurry.

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went to meet him.

He didn't expect his mother to come back suddenly. Yang Jun's heart skipped a beat, thinking something had happened.

"Mom, what happened? Why are you back?" Yang Jun asked anxiously.

Wang Yuying: "Nothing happened. Oh, can't I come back yet?"

"Mom, that's not what I meant. You came back so suddenly..."

"Nothing much. I just came back to attend your great uncle's funeral and visit my grandchildren."

When Yang Jun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought something had happened, but it turned out that his mother just came back to attend the funeral of her uncle Yi Zhonghai.

After all, we have been neighbors for decades, and we always have to say goodbye to each other.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought something happened to you..."

After saying that, he helped his mother sit down on the rattan chair.

Looking at his mother's white hair, Yang Jun suddenly felt depressed.

In a few years, his mother would also be gone. He really couldn't imagine whether he would have the courage to face it all at that time.

"Just look at me. Sit down and talk to mom."

Seeing Yang Jun staring at her, Wang Yuying asked.

"okay."

Yang Jun smiled, and then sat on the small bench next to him.

"I just came back from attending your uncle's funeral across the street, so I came to see you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun smiled and said nothing.

The funeral of the first uncle was held at Banggeng's house, who lived in Jiuyuan opposite. Originally, according to Jia Zhang's request, the funeral of the first uncle was held at Yang Jun's old house, after all, he had lived there for decades. But Banggeng disagreed. It was not because he was filial, but because he felt it was inappropriate to hold a funeral in Yang Jun's old house. So he gritted his teeth and moved the first uncle to his own home.

Because of this incident, Banggeng had a big quarrel with his grandmother Jia Zhang, and in the end Banggeng insisted on having his uncle carried back.

"Alas, the people who used to live in the compound have all aged or left, and now I'm the only one left."

Wang Yuying sat there, looking at the river with blurred eyes and sighed.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? You will live to be a hundred years old." Yang Jun.

After saying this, Yang Jun felt sad again.

The original residents of the mansion had all passed away, some old, including the three uncles and three aunts. The only ones of their age left were Wang Yuying and Jia Zhang. When Yang Jun thought of this, he felt an inexplicable depression in his chest.

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? There is no such thing as immortal person in this world..." Wang Yuying looked at him with a smile.

"I will live forever." Yang Jun said suddenly.

Wang Yuying was also stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she looked at Yang Jun and nodded.

"Yes, you are indeed immortal. Mom hopes that all my children will be immortal."

"Mom, I mean I really am immortal." Yang Jun said again.

"I know."

Wang Yuying just said this lightly, and then looked at Yang Jun carefully again.

"I wish all your brothers and sisters could be like you."

Hearing this, Yang Jun relaxed for a moment, then looked at him with confusion.

Wang Yuying seemed to have known about Yang Jun's immortality for a long time and didn't find it strange at all.

"Mom, aren't you curious at all?" Yang Jun expressed the doubts in his heart.

"curious."

After saying that, Wang Yuying shook her head again: "I don't want to know why you are immortal. Mom is also afraid to know. I am afraid that after knowing, I will lose you."

"How could that be? I will always be your son."

Just as Yang Jun was about to explain why he could live forever, Wang Yuying raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Don't say anything, it's fine like this, it's fine."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun seemed to understand something and nodded.

"I got it, Mom."

After that, he continued, "You must not have eaten yet. I'll go back with you to eat something."

Wang Yuying definitely did not have any banquet after attending the funeral. She couldn't stand that kind of scene, so it was impossible for her to stay for the banquet. Yang Jun guessed that she must not have eaten.

"Okay, you can eat some more with mom."

Then, the mother and daughter returned to the backyard.

After lunch, Wang Yuying went back home without waiting for her children to finish school to see her grandson.

After seeing Wang Yuying off, Yang Jun and a group of women prepared to go back through the gate.

Just as Yang Jun was about to go to the river, he was stopped by his goddaughter Lucy.

"Godfather, what you said yesterday was wrong. I want to refute you."

Yang Jun felt a headache when he heard this.

This time she finally called out the right thing, but the word "refute" seemed to have become her catchphrase, and she would refute him at every turn.

Upon hearing this, the women stopped in their tracks curiously, and looked at Lucy with a teasing expression on their faces to see how she refuted Yang Jun.

"Okay, go ahead and refute it."

Yang Jun smiled bitterly, stopped, and stood there with his hands behind his back.

"What you said yesterday was wrong. Even if a woman is attractive, she can have several husbands."

Hearing this, Yang Jun looked at her with wide eyes.

After a while, he suddenly shouted, "Who taught you? What kind of bullshit logic did you teach?"

Upon hearing this, the women subconsciously wanted to leave and no longer had the mood to watch the fun.

Lucy was startled when she heard this, and couldn't help but look back at Yi Qiu Shui.

Looking at her expression, Yang Jun knew that it must have been Yi Qiu Shui who taught her.

This woman seemed to be taking revenge on him, probably by teaching him all this messed up stuff.

Seeing this, Yi Qiu Shui quickened his pace and was about to run.

"Stop right there." Yang Jun.

Yi Qiu Shui didn't listen, but ran faster.

"Don't think that this matter is over just because you run away. Just wait and see how I deal with you when I get back."

After that, Yang Jun put on a smiling face and said to Lucy: "Don't listen to your godmother, she is not right."

"If what she said was right, why would she run away when she saw me? Don't you think that's the truth?"

Lucy scratched her head and looked at Yi Qiushui's back blankly. She had just started learning Chinese and didn't understand the essence of Chinese culture. She only had a vague understanding of some things. When she saw Yi Qiushui running away, she thought she was guilty, so she subconsciously thought that what Yi Qiushui taught her was wrong.

"Um... I understand. I'll study it more carefully later."

"Study shit."

Yang Jun said unhappily, "Don't focus on this all day long. Your main task now is to learn Chinese well."

"Godfather, what are you saying? I don't understand."

After hearing this, Lucy scratched her head and looked confused.

To be honest, she also hated learning Chinese. She spent eighteen hours out of twenty-four hours a day learning Chinese. Several Chinese teachers took turns to cram Chinese into her mind, causing her mind to be filled with Chinese. She even learned Chinese while sleeping. Now, when she heard the word "study", she felt subconsciously disgusted.

"I don't understand. I don't understand at all..."

As he spoke, he turned and ran away.

"You speak so fluently, and yet you say you don't understand?"

Looking at Lucy's running back, Yang Jun shook his head and smiled.

"It's you who forced her to study. Now she gets dizzy when she hears the word 'study'." Nalan Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him.

When Yang Jun heard this, he glared at her.

"Are you the only one smart?"

"Do you believe me asking you to learn English?"

Nalan Qingmeng was not afraid of him at all. Instead, she took a step forward and said with her slightly bulging belly: "I won't learn. What can you do to me? Besides, I graduated from Tsinghua University after all. I already know English. Who am I looking down on?"

"I asked you to learn French."

"I won't learn."

Nalan Qingmeng relied on the fact that she was pregnant with Yang Jun's child to go against him.

"Okay, you guys have your ability."

Yang Jun couldn't do anything about them, so he walked away angrily with his hands behind his back.

In the evening, after dinner, Yang Jun went to Yang Qingxiang's yard.

Yang Qingxiang is now five months pregnant and is feeling a little uncomfortable. Yang Jun helped her to bed, but she didn't seem to want to rest at all.

"Come up, don't you know I'm getting impatient waiting?"

Seeing that she was still standing there with great interest, Yang Jun couldn't help but say.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it enough for me to promise to satisfy you tonight?"

After saying that, she climbed on top of Yang Jun and looked at him with a smile.

"Honey, I want to tell you something great."

“Nothing could be bigger than this.”

As Yang Jun spoke, he was about to take off her clothes.

"Oh, Lao Yang."

Yang Qingxiang struggled and pushed him away.

"I really have great news to tell you."

Seeing that Yang Jun refused to listen and was about to take action, she quickly said, "Chengcai was recommended to Yan University."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun was stunned for a moment and stopped what he was doing.

"Chengcai was recommended for admission? When did it happen?"

"Just today."

When talking about her son Yang Chengcai, Yang Qingxiang's face is full of pride.

"The principal came to see him today and gave him a recommendation application form for admission to Yanda University."

"Oh, yes, there is also a list of recommended students from Huaqing University. However, my son wants to go to Yanda University, so he didn't ask for the list."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun was overjoyed.

There is nothing better than having your own son succeed. As a father, who doesn't want his child to succeed? Your son can be admitted to university without taking the college entrance examination. This is a symbol of strength, which is more impressive than getting into Yanjing University.

In the past, he always envied others when he heard that someone’s child was admitted to college. But now that it’s his turn, he feels it’s a little unreal.

For him, the children’s academic performance does not affect their admission to Yanjing University, but it is more prestigious to be admitted based on their own strength, especially when they are recommended by others, and are recommended by multiple prestigious universities, which makes people feel even more proud.

"Oh, my son has made great progress."

Yang Jun patted his thigh and said, "I will reward my son well later. This kid has made his father proud."

After hearing this, Yang Qingxiang smiled.

When she heard that Yang Jun was going to reward her son again, she was very happy.

"Give him another five points of the steel plant's shares later... No, ten points. I like this guy." Yang Jun said, patting his thigh.

"Then I thank you on behalf of my son." Yang Qingxiang looked seductively.

"Why thank you? Chengcai is still my son."

Yang Jun loved this son very much. Among so many children, only his second son's academic performance made him proud. To be honest, he was very happy.

"Oh, my son has been admitted to Yanda University. My son has been admitted to Yanda University."

Yang Jun was so happy that he couldn't help cheering.

Seeing Yang Jun constantly praising his son, Yang Qingxiang's eyes became more tender.

"Hubby, Chengcai has been recommended to Peking University. Shall we celebrate?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he laughed.

"That is required."

……

The next day, at breakfast.

"Chengcai, come to this table and eat."

During the meal, Yang Jun asked Chengcai to come to the adults' table to eat.

Yesterday, the whole family didn’t know that our son had been admitted to Yanjing University.

It’s not that Yang Qingxiang deliberately hid it from everyone, it’s mainly because the registration form hasn’t been submitted yet, and she wanted to wait until this matter is settled before telling everyone.

Yang Chengcai was eating and was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing Yang Jun’s smiling face, he seemed to have guessed something.

"Dad, I won't go over there. I'm eating well here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun waved his hand.

"Come here, let daddy take good care of you."

Seeing this, Yang Qingxiang smiled and said, "Son, come here quickly, your dad has something to tell you."

Seeing this, Yang Chengcai walked over embarrassedly.

"dad."

Yang Jun held his son's hand and looked at him with satisfaction.

"Not bad, son. You made your father proud."

"Dad wants to reward you. Tell me what reward you want."

Faced with Yang Jun's nonsensical words, everyone looked confused.

Seeing this, Yang Jun didn't explain and just looked at his son with satisfaction.

When Yang Chengcai heard this, his face turned red. He first glanced at his mother Yang Qingxiang, then said shyly,
"If you have time, spend more time with my mother."

Yang Qingxiang didn't expect her son to make this request, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"You kid."

Yang Jun laughed loudly when he heard this.

"Do you even need to say this?"

"In addition to this, I will also reward you with 10 points of shares, and I will transfer them to you later." (End of this chapter)
