Siheyuan: Domineering life

The funeral of his second uncle was held at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Yang Jun was only in his hometown for four hours in total.

After the funeral, he did not stop and went straight home.

Yi Qiu Shui and the others also went back with them. The group took a dozen cars to the county town. After eating and resting for a while, they continued to the provincial capital.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the provincial capital. We got on the plane and flew directly to Yanjing. We didn't get home until almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

After returning home, I simply washed up and took a rest.

The next day, Yang Jun did not go to work and did not get up until after ten o'clock.

After a quick wash, I went to the restaurant.

When we arrived, we found several women there, chatting with their children.

"Why are you all here?"

If we don't hurry now, we've already had breakfast and lunch hasn't started yet, and I don't know why they are all here.

Yi Qiushui looked a little tired and sat there without saying anything. Huang Yani said, "Let's chat and wait for you."

"wait for me?"

Yang Jun looked at her puzzledly: "What's the matter?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to talk to you."

Meng Wenya joked: "Just tell him you miss him, why be embarrassed?"

"If I say I miss him, will you agree?" Huang Yani rolled her eyes.

When several women get together, the topic they talk about most is Yang Jun. They talk in a very bold way, sometimes making Yang Jun blush.

"Let's talk about business." Yang Jun reminded.

At this time, Yi Qiu Shui asked the nanny to bring food.

"Let's eat first."

After Yi Qiushui finished speaking, he continued, "We are waiting for you here, waiting for you to go with us to burn paper money for mom on the seventh day of her death."

"Grass."

Yang Jun slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "How could I forget about this?"

"Be civilized. Why are you weeding? The children are here."

Yi Qiushui rolled her eyes at him and continued, "We are still here. The burning of paper for the seventh day of mourning has to be after noon. It's not too late now."

After hearing this, Yang Jun smiled embarrassedly.

Fortunately, the children are still young and there is no need to worry about leading them into the ditch. As for the older children, they will not be bored and stay here to chat with the adults.

"Are paper money, incense and candles ready?" Yang Jun asked while eating.

"Everything is ready. If I rely on you, it will be too late."

Yi Qiushui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Besides, the ancestral hall has prepared everything, so it won't be a problem."

"That's fine, that's fine."

At this time, Yang Jun suddenly remembered something and said, "Let the children go with us. They won't have to go next time."

He thought of letting the children go on the seventh day, and they didn't have to go in the following periods.

"Well, I've already told the kids. They're waiting over in the living room."

After hearing this, Yang Jun felt much more relieved.

I don't know when it started, but he became more and more particular about these things, especially filial piety. When Wang Yuying was alive, he would often go to the ancestral hall to see her. If the children wanted to go, they could go, and if they didn't want to go, they didn't have to go. He never forced them. But now that his mother is gone, he cares about these things instead, especially making the children remember their father and forming the habit of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

After breakfast, Yang Jun was bored, so he chatted with a few women in the restaurant.

When it was almost noon, the children came over to have lunch. After lunch, the family went to the ancestral hall.

Yang Jun had just finished his meal and was not very hungry, so he sat there and chatted with the children while eating.

"School will start in a few days. I hope you will work hard in the new semester. If you really can't concentrate on your studies, just take some time off to recuperate. It's best not to cause trouble for your family."

"I don't want to be called by the teacher as a parent."

For the first time ever, Yang Jun sat at the children's table. The children felt very uncomfortable and just kept their heads down eating without saying a word.

The children kept silent and ate with their heads down.

"You can't even eat peacefully. Can't you just finish eating first?"

Yi Qiushui couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Besides, when have you ever been called to the office by your parents? Wasn't it always me who came forward?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun turned around and rolled his eyes at her.

"Didn't I say that after I finished eating?"

"You have finished eating, but the children haven't." Yi Qiu Shui glared at him.

"What's the difference?"

Yang Jun pointed at the kids and said, "Given their mental quality and shamelessness, do you think we need to consider their feelings?"

Yi Qiushui: “…”

Everyone was stunned.

The only ones who remained calm and composed were probably Yang Chengcai, Zhong Hui and Bai He. The others all did not perform well in the exam.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, Yang Jun seemed to hear laughter. He turned around and saw Yang Chengdao trying hard to hold back his laughter, his shoulders shrugged.

"Chengdao, I haven't asked you yet, how did you do in the final exam last semester?"

If Yang Jun had some concerns about educating other children, then he had no such worries about Yang Chengdao, because this child was thick-skinned enough and had a strong mentality. Even if you pointed at his nose and scolded him, he would act as if nothing had happened.

"dad."

When Yang Chengdao heard this, his face drooped, and the arrogance he had just shown instantly disappeared.

"You are asking this even though you already know the answer. Don't you know what my grades are?"

"Am I clear? Should I be clear?"

Yang Jun got a little angry after hearing this. If it wasn't for his daughter-in-law Bai He's sake, he would have definitely gone up and given him a big bag of paper.

"Oh, yes, I know very well. As a student of Renmin University, your grades must be very good, right?"

After hearing this, Yang Chengdao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He thought to himself, "Don't you know what my grades are? Don't you know how I got into Renmin University?" He felt that the old man was targeting him on purpose today.

"Pfft!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, especially Yang Chengzhi who laughed the most unscrupulously.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

When she looked up and saw Yang Jun's murderous eyes, she felt like a crowing rooster whose neck was suddenly grabbed by someone, and she fell silent immediately.

"Laugh, keep laughing."

Yang Jun nodded his head and said, "Can you all save me some trouble? Is that score worthy of our ancestors?"

Yang Chengzhi lowered her head to eat, but don't expect her to be afraid, because her mouth, which was stretched from ear to ear, betrayed her.

"And you guys, even if one score corresponds to one kilogram of food, it's fine. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and rice bugs?"

"Dad, I'm not a parasite. I got full marks on all the final exams last semester and was ranked first in the grade."

The person who was speaking was Yang Jun’s youngest son, Yang Chengxuan, the second son of him and Yang Qingxiang.

This child, like his brother Yang Chengcai, has excellent grades. He almost always gets full marks on exams, and is always in the top three in the grade in every exam. He is even among the top students in the entire district.

"I'm not talking about you, eat your meal." Yang Jun glared at him.

"Dad, I'm not a parasite either."

At this time, seven-year-old Yang Chengxun spoke.

She is Yang Qingxiang's third daughter. Like her two brothers, she has excellent grades.

"Okay, okay, my dear daughter, you are not a parasite." Yang Jun looked at his daughter with some doting. He was always generous with his praise for children with good grades.

The other children were different. They all felt extremely guilty because their scores were not even enough to buy them enough food. It was really like what Yang Jun said, they were just parasites.

At this time, Yang Jun turned his attention to Yang Chengdao.

"Tell me, how many subjects do you need to retake this time?"

University is different from high school and junior high school. If you fail the exam, you have to retake it. Looking at Yang Chengdao's grades, Yang Jun knew with just a thought that he would definitely have to retake it.

After hearing this, Yang Chengdao was not upset but laughed instead.

"Dad, you underestimate me. Although my grades are not very good, I can't make up the exam."

"I'm your son. If I take a make-up exam, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "You finally learned how to wipe your own ass."

In fact, Yang Jun knew without thinking that Yang Chengdao must have been doing something behind his back, otherwise how could he not fail the course with his grades? If he needed his family's help to solve such a small matter as a make-up exam, it would be too disappointing.

"Hey, don't you see whose son I am?"

After hearing this, Yang Jun was about to smile, but the next words made him immediately angry.

"I am our mother's son. I inherited my mother's high IQ. I can still solve this little thing."

Yang Jun's face darkened, and he stared at him with a death stare.

Yang Chengdao seemed to be deliberately making him angry, constantly provoking him on the brink of death.

"Look at my mother, she is both smart and beautiful, and she studied abroad. She is in charge of such a large family business. I have completely inherited her genes, and I have both beauty and talent..."

"Where is my sword? Bring me my 40-meter-long sword." Yang Jun looked around.

……

After lunch, the whole family went to the ancestral hall to burn paper money for Wang Yuying.

This time the whole family went, without leaving anyone out.

Before, for fear of bad influence, Yang Qingxiang, Meng Wenya and others were not allowed to go. Now, it is just their family who are burning the seventh day paper, no outsiders, so Yang Jun decided to take them with him.

Half an hour later, the whole family arrived at the ancestral hall.

When they arrived, Yangmei and the other three had already arrived.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

"Hello sisters-in-law."

Yangmei, Yangliu, Yangyu and Yangjun greeted them.

"Hello, Second Aunt."

"Hello, third aunt."

"Hello, Fourth Aunt."

The children also greeted several aunts.

"Have you burned paper money for Mom?"

Arriving at the main hall of the ancestral hall, Yang Jun discovered that the eternal lamps on both sides were all lit, and even the incense on the altar was burning.

"No, isn't this waiting for you?"

Then, Yang Jun walked forward, took three incense sticks from the table, and lit them on the candle.

He took three steps back, bowed three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The people behind followed suit and bowed.

After doing all this, Yang Jun led his family to the cemetery behind the ancestral hall.

When we got there, the servants had already prepared everything, including incense, candles, fruit plates, and paper money.

My parents' joint tomb has been renovated and is made of marble. The entire cemetery covers an area of ​​about 50 square meters and looks particularly large. Not far away from my parents' tomb, there is also a tomb.

That was Wang Yuping's tomb. Yang Jun finally had her buried in the Yang family's ancestral tomb.

Given the friendship between Wang Yuping and Wang Yuying, Yang Jun had no reason not to treat her as his own family member, a martyr who was worthy of him doing so.

A group of people stood there in a black mass, no one spoke, and even the children knew that this kind of occasion was not suitable for playing.

Yangmei squatted down, lit the candle first and then lit the incense.

After doing this, she nodded to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun adjusted his breathing slightly and slowly knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the others also knelt down.

"Mom, we're here to see you."

Looking at the photo of his mother's kind smile on the tombstone, Yang Jun couldn't control himself for a moment.

"Mom, we missed you, woooo!"

Yang Jun was so sad that he couldn't control his tears.

"Mom! Woohoo!"

Yang Mei and the others were also infected by this atmosphere and started crying together.

This is how burning paper on the seventh day after death works. The harder the children cry, the more filial they appear. It’s just that everyone expresses sadness in a different way, but filial piety is the same.

For a moment, everyone was infected by this atmosphere and shed tears.

Yang Jun knelt there, burning paper money non-stop. He tried to burn it as slowly as possible so that he could talk more with his mother.

"Dad, Mom is going to look for you now. You two are finally together again. Have you picked up Mom?"

"Mom has chronic cold legs. You should tell her to wear more clothes."

"Also, her stomach isn't very good, so she can't be too cold."

"besides……"

Yang Jun and his three siblings expressed their longing for their mother and asked their father to take better care of her.

After about half an hour, Yang Jun and his group finally stood up.

After getting up, Yang Jun led the whole family to Wang Yuping's grave.

Wang Yuping’s tombstone was also newly erected. Although it was not as big as Wang Yuying’s, it was also luxurious and majestic.

"Auntie Wang, I'm here to see you."

Looking at the photo on the tombstone that looked similar to his mother, Yang Jun was overwhelmed with emotion for a moment.

"You should be with my mother now, right?"

"From now on, you two sisters will never have to be separated again."

"Woo!"

At this point, Yang Jun choked up again.

He was moved by Wang Yuping's spirit of martyrdom. In this event, nothing was more precious than this friendship. Just ask, how many people have died for love since ancient times? He had only heard of couples dying for love, but had never heard of anyone dying for friendship.

Yang Jun had great respect for Wang Yuping because of her determination.

"Auntie Wang, when we get there, you and my mom, you two sisters have to take care of each other. If there's anything, please discuss it with me." Yang Mei choked up.

"Auntie Wang, have a pleasant journey." Yang Liu.

As for Wang Yuping, Yang Jun and his three siblings treated her like their mother. They treated her the same way as they treated their mother, without any difference.

After the brothers and sisters finished their worship, they returned to the front yard of the ancestral hall.

I sat for a while in the room where my mother used to live to remember her.

Yang Mei and the others were also busy sorting out Wang Yuying's belongings and recalling every detail of their mother's life.

During dinner, Yang Mei suddenly suggested eating here, and Yang Jun agreed.

Afterwards, the whole family started cooking together and did not go home until the evening. (End of this chapter)
