Siheyuan: Domineering life

Immortality is sometimes not a good thing.

Life is lonely. Watching relatives, friends and familiar people around you leave you one by one is really a bad feeling. Yang Jun is even more emotional about the old senior like Zhong Shanyue who helped him.

This is why people become lonelier as they grow older. Once people become adults, troubles and worries follow. Sometimes, escape is useless and you can only face it.

Yang Jun thought that after so many years of immersion in officialdom, his heart had become as hard as iron. He did not expect that he was still very emotional when encountering such a thing. He had no choice but to face it and could not escape. These were just colleagues and friends. If his relatives left him in the future, he would feel differently.

He now suffers from severe psychological phobia and is afraid of that day coming.

The next day, just after dawn, Yang Chengcai and Zhong Xiaohui returned.

Zhong Xiaohui cried, her eyes were red, and she looked sad.

After they returned home and put down their luggage, they headed straight to the Zhong family.

Before leaving, Yang Jun told his son some etiquette and manners that he needed to pay attention to and asked him to be more steady.

Afterwards, the couple drove away.

After breakfast, Yang Jun went to Diaoyutai as usual.

We are not fishing now. We need to fill the pond with water. Since last night, four pumps have been working non-stop. Now we can finally see the sparkling water surface again. It will probably take two or three days to restore the water level to its original level.

As the water level rose, the fishy smell of the silt could no longer be smelled, and Yang Jun felt much more energetic.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Even early in the morning it is unbearable. I have prepared parasols a long time ago, but they are not very effective.

After lying there for a while, Yang Jun felt wet all over.

He tried hard to calm himself down, but it was of no use. Coupled with the passing of Mr. Zhong, he was in a very upset mood.

Looking back at the two piles of meat patties behind him, Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu were grilling fish with only their shorts on and bare chests.

These two gluttons don't mind the heat at all. Even with the scorching sun, they are still in the mood to grill fish. Nothing can stop the mood of these two foodies.

"Uncle Yang, would you like one?"

Sun Zhaocai asked, holding the freshly grilled fish in his hand.

This guy is good at grilling fish. The fish he grills is no worse than those cooked by professional chefs at the State Guesthouse. This skill is entirely acquired due to his greed.

"Don't eat."

Yang Jun waved his hands weakly.

How could he be in the mood to eat fish now? Besides, he had eaten a table full of fish yesterday and now he felt like vomiting at the sight of fish.

"Godfather, this idiot's cooking is pretty good, try it." Sha Zhu said.

This guy now kind of admires Sun Zhaocai, mainly because his skill in grilling fish is really great and he can never eat enough of it.

"Don't eat."

Yang Jun said with dead eyes.

Seeing how happily they were eating, Yang Jun envied their carefree appearance. Sometimes, he really wanted to be as carefree as them and have some personal hobbies or interests, but he couldn't do it. He was a person with a lot on his mind, and being in that position, he couldn't let himself relax no matter what.

"Oh, you don't have a good time." Sha Zhu laughed.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun curled his lips.

"If you two are really filial, help me think of a way to make the weather cooler."

"This... is God's business, what can we do?" Sun Zhaocai said with a smile. After a slight pause, he continued: "It's not winter now. If you feel cold, I will light a heater for you in the glass room..."

"Hey, Uncle Yang, I suddenly thought of a solution."

"Speak." Yang Jun was too hot to breathe.

"Since we can light a heater in the glass room, we can also install an air conditioner on the same day." Sun Zhaocai was very confident in his own intelligence, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"In fact, installing air conditioning is the best, it can cool and heat, and we don't have to light the stove in winter."

Yang Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Why don't you hurry up and do it?"

In fact, he hadn't thought of installing an air conditioner.

"Well...wait until I finish grilling this fish."

"Huh?" Yang Jun glared at him.

Seeing this, Sun Zhaocai panicked and kicked Sha Zhu.

"Well, didn't you hear Uncle Yang asking you to install the air conditioner?"

"Godfather asked you to pretend." Sha Zhu ate the grilled fish, humming.

"Do you still want to eat grilled fish?" Sun Zhaocai shouted dissatisfiedly.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he rolled his eyes and stood up angrily.

In fact, he doesn’t need to install it himself. He just needs to say a word and someone will install it for him.

About half an hour later, four guards were seen running towards us carrying two large boxes, followed by an electrician.

The efficiency is quite fast, and this 2-horsepower Nature brand air conditioner was delivered.

This is an air conditioner produced by Yang Jun's own company. He still clearly remembers that he was the one who came up with this name. After so many years of development, Nature brand air conditioner has become a leading enterprise. It accounts for more than 90% of domestic sales, and even overseas sales account for nearly 20% of sales. Its popularity is not much different from that of big brands of air conditioners.

The electrician opened the dusty glass house and first cleaned out the heater and other messy things inside, and then began to install the air conditioner. The security guard helped to lay out the wiring, and the others worked together to install the air conditioner.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, but Yang Jun felt even more tormented than before. Especially when he saw that the air conditioner was about to be installed, his patience was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't wait to move to the air-conditioned room immediately.

There is an air-conditioned room at home, but he doesn't want to stay in the house. If possible, he wants to stay by the river all the time.

There is no one to disturb him here, so he can have enough time to think about life.

Whenever he was alone, there was no fog in the world that he could not see through.

"Boss, the air conditioner has been installed."

At this time, a guard whose clothes were soaked with sweat ran over to report.

"Oh, okay? Then move over there quickly."

As soon as Yang Jun heard that the air conditioner in the glass house had been installed, he immediately got up and ran over.

When Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu heard this, they felt that the barbecue was not delicious anymore and followed over happily.

When he arrived at the glass room, Yang Jun felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

"What the hell, why is it so hot even with air conditioning?"

At this time, the electrician who was installing the air conditioner whispered: "The air conditioner has just been turned on, and it will take a while to cool down. Also... there is no shelter outside the glass room."

"Zhaocai, bring the parasol over." Yang Jun ordered immediately.

When Sun Zhaocai heard this, he ran back happily.

Then, everyone worked together to put up the parasol to block the sun outside the glass house.

After a while, I finally felt cool.

The glass house of less than a few square meters is cooled by a 2-horsepower air conditioner, and the heat in the house disappears immediately.

"Wow, comfortable."

Yang Jun lay on the rattan chair and couldn't help but sigh.

“It’s so cool.”

"Comfortable."

Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu were both laughing.

Their bodies were already soaked in sweat and exuded an unpleasant odor.

"It would be even better if there was iced watermelon." Yang Jun sighed.

"Then I'll go to the backyard to get it." After saying that, Sun Zhaocai ran away happily.

"Godfather, I'll get you some fruit."

Sha Zhu also ran away.

After they left, Yang Jun lay on the rattan chair and took a sip of tea. It turned out that air conditioning was a good thing. It made his body less sticky.

He glanced around and saw that there was no one around. With an idea, a large tray of fruit appeared on the low table next to him.

The fruit was icy cold and covered with frost, as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator and was still emitting a cool breeze.

In recent years, Yang Jun has enriched his space whenever he has free time.

He replenished supplies completely according to the standards of doomsday. It is not impossible that this world might be formatted one day. If that day really comes, he hopes to still be able to survive with his family. Therefore, the supplies in his space are very complete, with various grains, vegetables, fruits, water and so on. Even if it is the same grain, he will make specific preparations for it. For example, for wheat, he not only has to prepare ordinary wheat, but also breeding grains, white flour and so on, as well as rice, millet, coarse rice, black rice and red rice.

Anyway...as long as it exists in this world, it is in his space.

If nothing else, just in case.

In today's society, technology and military are developing at a rapid pace, and the destructive power of weapons is becoming increasingly greater. There is no guarantee that they will be formatted one day, so he has to prepare according to the standards of doomsday.

Even if every village sets off fireworks, humans will not become extinct. With his abilities and skills, it is not impossible for him to provide his family with a chance to survive.

"Hey, Uncle Yang, where did you get the fruit?"

Sun Zhaocai came back with an iced watermelon plate in his hand and looked at the fruits on the table with shock.

"Don't ask. Asking will force me to lie."

Yang Jun said lightly, and then threw a chilled grape into his mouth.

"Oh."

Sun Zhaocai scratched his head, then sat down and started eating the watermelon.

Yang Jun also ate a piece of watermelon, and immediately the heat in his body was calmed down.

"By the way, go call Xiaowu." Yang Jun said.

"Oh well."

This time, Sun Zhaocai did not go out, but directly picked up the phone in the glass room.

There has always been a telephone in the glass room, which is used exclusively by Yang Jun for work.

After a while, Yang Chengwu ran over panting.

"Godfather."

The guy shouted, then picked up the iced watermelon on the table and started eating.

"You have something to do with me?"

After taking two bites and finally feeling a little cooler, Xiao Wu asked.

"Well, something happened."

Yang Jun took out a map from under the table, searched on it, and then pointed to a place and said, "See? Buy me a few mountains around here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengwu leaned over to take a look and found that it was one of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Godfather, I haven't heard of any minerals here. Why did you buy it?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he rolled his eyes at him.

“Who told you I can’t buy it if there’s no mineral?”

"Godfather, who are you?" Yang Chengwu looked at him puzzled.

"This mountain is surrounded by basalt structures and has a hard geological structure. I plan to build an air-raid shelter here."

"Air-raid shelter?" Yang Chengwu.

"It's just... well, to tell you the truth, it's just to build a doomsday fortress."

"Doomsday fortress? Haha, godfather, why build that thing?" After hearing this, Yang Chengwu couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.

He felt that Yang Jun was being a little too pessimistic. What end of the world? Where was the end of the world?

"I have a lot of money but nowhere to spend it, okay?" Yang Jun glared at him.

Yang Chengwu shrank his neck in fear.

After a moment of deep thought, he asked in a low voice, "Godfather, have you heard any news?"

"I don't listen to you."

Yang Jun gave him a big bag of paper in a bad mood.

"Even if I hear some news, it's too late to build a bomb shelter immediately."

After saying that, he muttered to himself: "I am just taking precautions. Besides... I have too much money and have nowhere to spend it. It's just sitting there anyway."

If he hadn't just taken out the fruit from the space, he wouldn't have thought about the end of the world.

He is powerful and rich now, so he should take this opportunity to prepare what he needs. It would be better if he doesn't need it. Even if he needs it, he can at least leave a way out for his family.

For him, building an air-raid shelter was no problem. In all aspects, he had all the conditions.

"Godfather, are you serious?"

Xiaowu still felt that Yang Jun was making a big deal out of nothing or was too sensitive. He didn't think the world would ever reach that day.

After hearing this, Yang Jun didn't say anything, but gave him a cold look.

"Okay, I understand. I'll do it later."

After a slight pause, he continued, "Godfather, I'm afraid I can't handle this alone, with the approval of formalities and so on..."

"Go find Tan Qin." Yang Jun said, "If you encounter any difficulties, just go find her. She can help you."

"Okay, that's fine."

After that, he continued, "Godfather, what do you want this doomsday fortress to look like..."

Afterwards, the father and son got together to plan the Doomsday Fortress.

Yang Jun not only asked him to build the doomsday fortress, but also asked him to recruit migrant workers in advance, waiting for Dashan to buy it before starting construction.

at night.

Yang Chengcai came home.

He came back alone, and his wife Zhong Xiaohui stayed behind to keep vigil for her grandfather.

They had dinner together, and Yang Chengcai asked Yang Jun about the precautions in funeral etiquette and other matters.

He is the grandson-in-law of the Zhong family, and at the same time represents the Yang family. He cannot make any mistakes in this regard.

Yang Jun also patiently imparted some experience to him. In addition to these, he also told his son other precautions.

"Son, spend more time with Xiao Hui during this period." Yang Jun said, "She was raised by her grandfather since she was a child. Now that Mr. Zhong is gone, she must be very sad."

"Dad, I know. I will spend more time with Xiaohui." Yang Chengcai.

"Ah."

Yang Jun then thought of something, so he asked, "You... your father-in-law didn't make any mistakes, did he?"

"No ah."

Yang Chengcai said: "Not only did my father-in-law not argue, he also praised me for being sensible and said a lot of good things about you."

"Well, that's fine if you don't."

Yang Jun said: "Don't come back these two days, just stay at the Zhong family, don't let people find fault with you."

"Got it, Dad. After dinner, I'll pack some clothes and go over." Yang Chengcai. (End of this chapter)
