Siheyuan: Domineering life

Time flies, and it’s the end of the year again.

It is now the end of 1990, and in a few days it will be 1991. No, in fact it is already 1991 in the Gregorian calendar, but Yang Jun likes to count using the lunar calendar, which is a sentiment unique to the Chinese people.

The children were on winter vacation and went to Hainan Island with Yi Qiu Shui and her friends. Only Yang Jun, Yang Qingxiang, Nini, Meng Wenya and a few others were left at home. In fact, they also wanted to go to the south for fun, but the children were still young and Yang Jun was unwilling to let them take them out.

Wait until this year is over and the children are a little older, then let them go out.

A family of dozens of people, more than half of them left at once, and the house suddenly seemed very deserted.

Yang Qingxiang is currently in charge of the household chores. Usually, they are managed by Yi Qiu Shui and Huang Yani. She is not used to taking over so suddenly, but fortunately, there is not much to worry about at home. Yi Qiu Shui has basically arranged the major matters, and the rest are just some trivial matters. She is busy every day, busy preparing for the New Year. Although she is busy, she is actually just talking, and all the work is done by the people below her.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes more and more intense. One can always hear the sound of naughty children setting off firecrackers outside, but Yang Jun's home seems deserted. There are only a few people in the huge house, and most of the nannies and guards are on holiday, making the house seem even more deserted.

Yang Jun gave Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu a holiday in advance. Now he basically never goes out. He sits in the air-conditioned room by the river every day. Occasionally one or two friends come over and he chats and brags with them. He is so happy.

He had instructed the security guard not to receive anyone during the New Year period, so Yang Jun spent most of the day alone.

"Hubby, I'm going back to my parents' home. Do you want to go back with me?"

Yang Jun was dozing with his eyes closed when Nalan Qingyun came in.

She just gave birth to a baby this year, so she didn't go on the trip to the south with us and stayed at home.

Her parents' home is in Yanjing, and she goes there whenever she has time.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, I must go back to my parents' home to visit them and give them holiday gifts.

Hearing the voice, Yang Jun opened his eyes and looked at her.

Seeing Nalan Qingyun coming in with the child in her arms, he quickly sat up and gave the rattan chair to her.

"Sit here."

Yang Jun helped her sit down and took off the blanket on the child. It was warm in the room and there was no need to wear so many clothes.

After removing the blanket, Yang Jun directly held the child in his arms.

"Don't take the children around in such a cold day." Yang Jun looked at her with some anger.

"Oh, I have to take the child with me. I can't leave him for even a moment. As soon as I let go, he will cry immediately." Nalan Qingyun shook her sore arms with a complaining look on her face, but one could still tell that she was in pain and happiness.

This was her first child. She loved him so much that she wanted to hold him in her arms every day. Over time, the child developed a habit of making a fuss as soon as he left her arms.

As soon as Yang Jun took it, the child became unhappy.

"Wow!"

The child seemed to sense that it was not his mother who was holding him, and he started crying.

"You bastard, aren't you happy when your father holds you in his arms?" Yang Jun scolded.

He was in a rare good mood and wanted to hug the child, but the child didn't give him any face. Yang Jun was so angry that he slapped him directly, and the child cried even harder.

"Hey, he's still so young, why hit him?"

Nalan Qingyun didn't care about the pain in her arms and took the child back.

"You've spoiled this naughty kid into this state. You'll suffer in the future." Yang Jun frowned.

"I am happy. As long as the child is happy, I am happy as a mother."

Nalan Qingyun really doted on this child, even a little bit spoiled him.

Yang Jun heard this but didn't say anything.

After all, this is Nalan Qingyun's first child. She must treat him as a treasure and love him no matter how much she loves him.

"By the way, you just said you wanted to go back to your mother's home?" Yang Jun asked.

"Well, I plan to go back to my parents' house tomorrow to give them a holiday gift. Do you want to go back with me?"

"I dont go."

Yang Jun refused without thinking.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Qingyun showed an expression of "as expected", as if she had expected Yang Jun's answer.

Yang Jun has a special status and he certainly cannot show up in public often, let alone such a trivial matter as delivering holiday gifts, which he would definitely not attend.

"Oh, I knew it would be like this." Nalan Qingmeng sighed.

"I'm sorry." Yang Jun looked apologetic.

"It's okay. I'm used to it."

Nalan Qingmeng rolled his eyes at him.

Seeing this, Yang Jun smiled embarrassedly.

"Your sister is not here this year, so you need to send an extra copy for her."

"Well, I have prepared all the gifts for the festival. They are all prepared in double portions."

This time, her elder sister Nalan Qingmeng went with her to travel to the south and was not in Yanjing, so as a younger sister, she could only show her filial piety on behalf of her elder sister.

"That's good. Say hello to your dad for me later." Yang Jun.

"Ah."

Afterwards, the two continued to chat, occasionally teasing the child. The child is only more than two months old and is in a deep sleep most of the day, but she can immediately notice if someone else holds her.

Yang Jun tried his best to make Nalan Qingyun sit more comfortably to reduce her fatigue.

"Hubby, I want to eat grapes."

At this time, Nalan Qingyun saw the low table full of fruits and couldn't help herself.

"Can you eat it?" Yang Jun asked.

Nalan Qingyun is currently breastfeeding and cannot eat cold food for fear of affecting the baby. Therefore, she has not been able to taste a single bite for some time and is very greedy.

"I'm not eating it, I'm just trying it for a taste."

Yang Jun didn't understand what she meant, but he still peeled a grape for her.

"Well, you feed me."

Nalan Qingyun did not take it with her hands, but pouted her cherry lips coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll feed you."

Yang Jun fed her lovingly.

Nalan Qingyun held the grape in his mouth, letting his tongue feel the sour taste. He held it in his mouth for a while, chewed it, and then spit out the grape.

She really wanted to swallow it, but when she thought about feeding her baby, she could only spit it out with great pain.

"Would you like another one?" Yang Jun asked.

He could see that Nalan Qingyun was in pain, and he felt sorry for her for having suffered so much for her child.

"Uh... no more."

Nalan Qingyun thought about it, but still refused with gritted teeth, smacking her lips a few times and said, "Just taste it, but don't be greedy. If the child gets a stomachache, it will be troublesome. I don't want the child to suffer this."

After hearing this, Yang Jun sighed.

"Would you like some bananas? It's okay to eat less bananas."

"No." Nalan Qingyun said, "Bananas are also cool in nature."

"Then I'll get you whatever you want to eat." Yang Jun.

"Well, I want to eat... donkey meat hot pot, but it's a pity that it's a holiday outside now, and the shops are probably closed, so I can't eat it even if I want to."

"This is easy, I'll get it for you."

I dare not say anything else, but as long as she opens her mouth, there is nothing he can't get. After all, he has all kinds of supplies in his space.

With the rapid development of society, a large number of new gadgets emerge every year. At this time, Yang Jun always purchases these new gadgets and copies them in his space. Therefore, everything that exists outside is also in his space. As long as Nalan Qingyun speaks, he will definitely help her realize it.

Seeing Yang Jun was about to put on his clothes and prepare to go out, Nalan Qingyun spoke.

"Honey, I'm just talking, don't take it seriously, it's so cold outside..."

"wait for me."

Yang Jun went out without saying anything, and after going out, he ran straight to the gate.

About ten minutes later, he came back.

He was holding a quilt in his arms and pushed open the door of the glass room and came in.

"Wife, I'm glad to have done what you asked. I got it for you."

As Yang Jun spoke, he opened the quilt, revealing a large bag of delicious food, including donkey meat hot pot, soybean-flavored cakes, glutinous rice balls, leek dumplings... and so on.

He got a copy of everything he could think of.

This is all his woman asks for, and he must satisfy her no matter what.

"Oh, hubby."

Seeing such a huge pile of delicious food, Nalan Qingyun's eyes were filled with joy.

"How did you manage to get so many delicious foods in such a short time?"

"Well, I just talk, and it's mainly the people below who do the running."

Yang Jun naturally would not tell her that it was taken out from space.

It's not that he doesn't believe Nalan Qingyun, but he's afraid that he can't explain it clearly. After all, this is his biggest secret. Besides, the trust between husband and wife is limited, and they can't help but be reserved. For now, Nalan Qingyun will not betray him, but who knows if she will...

So, Yang Jun didn't plan to tell her.

"Oh, it's so cold today, it's really hard for them to run errands." Nalan Qingyun sighed.

She also worked her way up from the bottom, so she naturally knew how difficult it was for the people below her to do things. Therefore, she usually tried to order them around as little as possible and tried to do what she could herself.

"They take my money, so it's their duty to do things for me." Yang Jun.

As Yang Jun spoke, he tiptoed over to hold the child so that she could eat in peace.

Fortunately, the child was sleeping soundly and did not cry.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Qingyun gestured with her hands, indicating that Yang Jun should sit on the rattan chair to be more comfortable.

Seeing this, Yang Jun wanted to refuse, but he felt that it was indeed uncomfortable to sit on a small stool with the child in his arms, so he did not refuse and changed seats with him.

Nalan Qingyun looked at the table full of delicious food, and the smile in her eyes almost overflowed from her eyes.

She first took a portion of donkey meat hotpot, thought about it and put it down, then took a portion of scallion pancake and started eating it in small bites.

"Why don't you eat donkey meat tacos first?" Yang Jun asked.

"It's too big. I'll eat something else first and save some room for the end." Nalan Qingyun said with a smile.

"Eat as much as you can. I don't ask you to finish it." Yang Jun looked at her with some pampering.

"That would be such a waste."

"whatever."

Watching Nalan Qingyun eating in small bites, Yang Jun felt that her eating manner was more and more seductive, and his eyes immediately stared at her.

Nalan Qingyun seemed to feel Yang Jun's burning gaze, looked up at him, and then said coquettishly: "What?"

"Nothing, I want to eat too." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"Hey, give me a donkey meat BBQ."

Nalan Qingyun handed him the donkey meat BBQ.

"I don't want to eat this."

Yang Jun shook his head, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "I want to eat you."

"Oh, you are so bad."

Hearing this, Nalan Qingyun smiled shyly.

"In the evening."

Yang Jun nodded after hearing this.

At this time, through the glass house, Yang Qingxiang was seen walking towards this side from afar.

"husband."

Yang Qingxiang called out as soon as she entered the room, but when she saw Yang Jun holding the child in his arms, she quickly whispered, “Sister Qingyun is here too.”

"Sister Qingxiang."

Nalan Qingyun called out, then pointed at the pile of delicious food on the table and asked, "Would you like to eat some together?"

Yang Qingxiang wanted to refuse, but when she saw the table full of delicious food, she swallowed the words back.

She pinched a piece of the sauce-flavored pancake with two fingers and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's delicious. I haven't eaten something this delicious in a long time."

"It's delicious, just eat more." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"I guess this must have been brought by you, my husband?" Yang Qingxiang asked.

"Well, my husband asked his subordinates to buy it." Nalan Qingyun said for him.

"After getting used to eating home-cooked meals, I suddenly tried food outside and found it tasted pretty good." Yang Qingxiang.

The two women were chatting there, tasting various delicacies, sometimes talking about children, and occasionally laughing like silver bells.

Chatted for a while.

"Husband, the Chinese New Year is just a few days away. When are we going to bring mom back home?" Yang Qingxiang asked.

She is the one who takes care of the household now, so some things have to be considered carefully.

"I called my mother and she told her that she won't be back for the New Year celebrations for a few years," said Yang Jun.

"Not coming back?" Yang Qingxiang was surprised. "Mom always comes back for the New Year every year. Why isn't she coming back this year?"

"She said that since her family is not around, it would be meaningless for her to come back for the New Year."

Yang Jun thought for a moment and continued, "I guess she was afraid to come back for the New Year and was worried that Aunt Wang would be lonely over there alone, so she stayed over there to accompany her."

"Why worry about this? Isn't it okay to ask Aunt Wang to come back with us to celebrate the New Year?"

"That's what I said, but Aunt Wang disagreed. She always felt like an outsider," Yang Jun explained.

"Why is it so particular, really?"

"The elderly have their own concerns. Since they don't want to come, let them do as they please." Yang Jun.

"Hey, that's all it can do."

Yang Qingxiang said, "When Sister Qiushui is not at home, I feel like I'm missing a backbone. Normally, I don't think taking care of housework is a big deal, but... I guess after taking over for a few days, my God... I feel so useless that I can't even do such a small thing. I'm so useless."

"Haha, now you know how difficult your sister Qiu Shui's life is, right?" Yang Jun.

"Okay, I get it. I used to envy her for managing such a big family, but now I think it's too tiring. I'm not up to the task. I really admire Sister Qiu Shui." Yang Qingxiang.

"You've only just started, and you only manage a few people. Sister Qiu Shui has to take care of the housework and handle the family business. You can imagine how much pressure she is under." Nalan Qingyun said.

"Ah, yes, I am not as good as Sister Qiushui." Yang Qingxiang sighed. (End of this chapter)
