Siheyuan: Domineering life

Yang Jun had no good suggestions for Wang Erwa's funeral.

Just as he said, when the time comes, he will close his eyes and kick his legs. How can he decide what happens after his death?

Another thing Wang Erwa said also makes sense. It's just a hundred pounds. Let her do whatever she wants.

These are not words of helplessness, but the essence of what comes after seeing through the world. Without decades of life experience and tempering, who can say such philosophical words? It seems helpless, but in fact it is a way of letting go. If you can't even let go of this skin, then there is no meaning in living in this life.

Yang Jun has lived two lives and is already over ninety years old. At this age, there is nothing that he cannot see through. People come into this world naked and leave it naked, taking nothing with them. The only thing they can leave behind is their name.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. Why bother thinking so far ahead? It won't solve anything and will only make your life tiring.

If Yang Jun didn't have the lives of hundreds of people in his family on his shoulders, he would really want to just lie down, drink tea every day, go fishing, play cards, and travel everywhere. With his power and wealth, he could live a very comfortable life, but he can't. Up to now, he is no longer a person. He lives for the hundreds of people in this family and for the thousands and millions of people behind him who follow him.

He is the one who prospers together and suffers together.

He has so much on his shoulders that he dares not relax at all. Every time he opens his eyes, he thinks about all kinds of problems and thinks about where things are not done perfectly. Once he finds a loophole, he immediately plugs it. Over the past few decades, he has lived in this fierce struggle every day, and his life is very, very tiring.

But there is no other way. For himself, for his family, and for the thousands of people following him, he cannot slack off.

"come back."

That day, Yang Jun finally called Yi Qiu Shui and the others, trying to keep his tone as gentle as possible, almost smiling in a conciliatory manner.

"Even if one person comes back, it will be good."

He has Gao Jie by his side, so he has no shortage of women. However, he doesn't want to drive for more than an hour every day to run around, nor can he bring a woman into his home. He really can't afford that.

"No return."

Yi Qiu Shui said two words and hung up the phone.

Yang Jun stood there in a daze, listening to the beeping sound coming from the phone, his mind becoming dazed.

"You stinky bitch, if you don't need it yourself, don't you consider others?"

Yi Qiu Shui is nearly fifty years old and has reached menopause. In some ways, she no longer needs Yang Jun, but she does not consider whether other women need him or not.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is what Yang Jun needs.

He is a carnivore and cannot live without meat for every meal. This makes him eat vegetarian food all day long, and even the monks can't stand it.

"Hey."

Yang Jun was helpless as the other party ignored him. After hanging up the phone, he went out directly.

Since there was not enough food at home, he had to go out and steal food.

……

When Yang Jun came back from Gao Jie's place in the evening, he saw that the house was brightly lit as soon as he entered the house. Lights were on in every yard, and all he could hear was the buzzing sound of air conditioners.

"came back?"

A crisp voice rang in his ears. Yang Jun looked up and saw Yi Qiu Shui standing at the door with his arms folded.

"Um...why are you back?"

Yang Jun rubbed his eyes, feeling that it was a little unreal. He said he would not come back in the morning, so how come he came back in the afternoon?

Women really say one thing and do another. You can't believe a single word they say.

"You don't welcome me back?" Yi Qiu Shui said angrily.

"No, no, I'm very welcome to it."

After that, Yang Jun looked at the surrounding courtyards and asked, "Are they all back?"

"What do you mean, can't I come back alone?"

"No, no, I'm just concerned about you, haha." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"Men's mouths are deceitful. Do you think I believe it?"

Yi Qiushui gave him a sanitary ball and said, "They are all back, not one is left behind. You can finally feel relieved now, right?"

"Well, why should I worry? I trust you to do your job."

"Stop talking nonsense, wash your hands and eat. Everyone is waiting for you to eat."

Afterwards, the two went to the restaurant.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we found that everyone was there, without missing a single one, even Yang Chengdao, who rarely showed up.

"dad."

"Lao Yang."

"grandfather."

Seeing Yang Jun coming, everyone stood up and greeted him.

"Oh, you're all back. Did you have a good time?"

Yang Jun looked at those familiar faces and instantly felt motivated to strive again.

"Oh, look at you all, you are all tanned."

Yang Jun touched the faces of several children. The children were very close to him and kept calling him dad.

"Come, let me hug my eldest grandson. Grandpa misses you."

Yang Jun walked towards Bai He, took Yang Mingchan from her arms, hugged and kissed him, making the child laugh.

"dad."

Yang Chengdao stood up and shouted.

Seeing this, Yang Jun's face darkened: "Why are you here too?"

Yang Chengdao was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Should I be here or not?"

"Don't you have any idea?"

After saying that, Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him and continued, "Come to my study after dinner."

"Got it, Dad."

Afterwards, Yang Jun returned his grandson to his mother and turned to entertain his younger children.

Most of these children were born in the second half of last year, and they are almost one year old now. Each one of them is very energetic, and they all look like their mothers, with pretty faces. You can like them at first sight.

"Aww, don't pull daddy's hair."

Yang Jun held a child in each hand. The two children moved around in his arms and kept tearing his hair. His hands were covered with clumps of black hair.

Seeing this, Nini and Yang Qingxiang hurriedly took the child over.

"You guys all had a good time?"

Yang Jun looked at them with a smile, his eyes always watching them, like a tiger seeing its prey, drooling.

Several women felt embarrassed by his gaze and rolled their eyes at him.

"not good."

Huang Yani said: "If you hadn't kept calling to urge us, we could have had a better time."

"I didn't keep calling to urge you. I just..."

Before Yang Jun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yi Qiushui.

"Well... I'm back, so why are you complaining so much? At most I can just stay for a few more days next time."

She avoided everyone's eyes and always avoided talking to other people. Seeing this, Yang Jun immediately understood what was going on. It must be Yi Qiu Shui who urged them to come back.

"Yes, yes, let's play for a few more days next time. It's too hot today, it's more comfortable to stay at home." Yang Jun agreed.

"That's true. It's really not as comfortable outside as at home. It's good to come back, otherwise it will take several months for my skin to recover." Huang Yani said.

"I don't feel hot, I just feel a little tired and want to sleep every day." Li Jingqiu said.

Yi Qiushui interrupted, "You are pregnant and sleepy."

“Maybe that’s the reason.”

Yang Jun asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Not only Li Jingqiu was pregnant, but Chen Ruolan and Yang Qingxiang were also pregnant. As a husband, he felt a little indebted to them for not being able to be with them.

"Thank you for your concern, husband. I'm in good health." Li Jingqiu said with a smile.

"What about you?" Yang Jun looked at Chen Ruolan and Yang Qingxiang.

"We're doing fine too."

Yang Qingxiang said: "There is no difference between me being pregnant and not being pregnant. My body has no obvious pregnancy reaction. I guess it's because I have given birth to so many children."

"As long as you are fine." Yang Jun said, "Rest well for a while."

Afterwards, several women began to talk about the interesting things they encountered while traveling and shared what they saw and heard.

"The children will go back to school in about ten days." Meng Wenya suddenly sighed.

It is now August 13th in the Gregorian calendar, and it is only half a month before the children go back to school. When they think about the children going back to school, the mothers inexplicably feel a heavy sense of responsibility.

"By the way, Lao Yang, how is the arrangement I asked you to make for Chengzhi to go to college going?" Yi Qiu Shui suddenly asked.

"Oh, it's done."

After that, Yang Jun said to Yang Chengzhi who was eating at the table with the children: "Chengzhi, the university admission letter is on your desk, remember to take a look."

"Thank you, Dad. I've seen it."

Yang Chengzhi's face was full of smiles. She ran over and leaned over to Yang Jun's ear, whispering, "Dad, did Xiaohuan receive the admission letter?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun looked at his daughter with eyes full of doting.

"Asking knowingly?"

"Dad." Yang Chengzhi called out shyly, and said shyly, "I haven't had time to call him yet."

"Are you still worried about Dad's work?" Yang Jun said with a smile, "I arranged for you two to go to the same school, study the same major, and be in the same class. Are you satisfied now?"

"Very satisfied, thank you, Dad."

Yang Chengzhi blushed and pulled Yang Jun's arm and acted coquettishly.

With her grades, she couldn't get into a prestigious university, let alone an ordinary university. Now that she has received an admission letter from a prestigious university, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

"Why don't you ask me what major I chose for you?" Yang Jun looked at her with a smile.

Hearing this, Yang Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly and said, "Dad, does it matter what major I choose?"

"That's right. With your grades, it doesn't matter what major you choose." Yang Jun felt a headache after hearing this.

"Dad, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. You're making fun of me again."

After saying that, Yang Chengzhi ran back to his seat.

"Old Yang, what majors are you going to choose for your two children?" Huang Yani asked.

She is Yang Chengzhi's biological mother, so naturally she cares about her daughter's affairs.

"My child, Yang Jun, is destined to pursue a career in politics. What major do you think it could be?" Yang Jun said calmly.

When the women heard this, they all understood.

"The same major as Cheng Dao?" Huang Yani.

"Ah."

Yang Jun hummed softly as a response to them.

"Great, thank you, Lao Yang."

Upon hearing that Yang Chengzhi would also pursue a career in politics in the future, Huang Yani was completely relieved.

"I'm doing things for my daughter, do I need you to thank me?" Yang Jun rolled his eyes.

"Do you still need to thank me?" Huang Yani blinked at Yang Jun in front of all the women and said, "Old Yang, will you let me marry you tonight?"

“Cough…cough.”

Yi Qiushui coughed twice, tapped the bowl with chopsticks, and said, "The children are still here, don't say such things in the future."

"I know, sister."

Huang Yani stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and smiled.

Seeing this, the women all flirted with Yang Jun, hoping that Yang Jun would choose them tonight.

Yang Jun felt a little embarrassed, so he turned his attention to the table of children.

"Chengcai, Dad hasn't asked you how you did on the final exam yet?"

When Yang Chengcai heard this, he quickly shouted, "Dad, you forgot, I skipped a grade, and the department directly let me go to junior year."

"Look at my memory. I actually forgot about this matter." Yang Jun patted his head and said, "Well... Dad will give you a few hundred kilograms of gold bars to calm your nerves."

"Thank you dad."

When Yang Chengcai heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.

"Enlightenment."

After asking about Yang Chengcai's grades, Yang Jun turned his gaze to Yang Chengdao.

"Dad, I've been busy with business lately and didn't take the exam this time." Yang Chengdao said guiltily.

"Oh, come to my study after dinner."

Yang Jun spoke in a very fierce tone, which frightened Yang Chengdao so much that he dodged repeatedly.

……

After dinner, Yang Jun went straight back to his study.

He turned on the air conditioner first and then started to make tea.

When the tea was almost ready, Yang Chengdao arrived.

"dad."

Seeing Yang Jun, Yang Chengdao felt a little guilty. He stood there straight, waiting for the storm.

"Sit down and talk."

Yang Jun pointed to the sofa opposite.

His son is married and has a family now, and he has become a father. He can no longer discipline him using the same methods as before.

He called his son over mainly to ask about things at the mine; his academic performance was no longer important.

Yang Chengdao didn't expect Yang Jun to be so good-tempered and found it a little unbelievable. He still sat opposite him tremblingly.

"I have already made arrangements for the mine. Your uncle An Guo will no longer be involved in matters there. You can do whatever you want."

Yang Jun poured himself a cup of tea and also poured one for his son.

"what?"

Hearing this news, Yang Chengdao was also stunned for a moment.
"Dad, do you know everything?"

"Haha, is there anything in this world that can be hidden from me?"

After that, Yang Jun smiled and said, "Since I've entrusted the family business to you, I'll naturally help you remove the stumbling blocks on the road."

Yang Chengdao was moved after hearing this, and said with red eyes: "Thank you, Dad."

"Actually... I don't want to have a conflict with An Guo, but if I back down, how can I manage in the future..."

"You don't have to tell me this, just do what you want to do."

Yang Jun interrupted him, paused for a moment, then stared at him with both eyes, and said, "Cheng Dao, remember, just keep going forward, Dad will help you clean up your mess, no matter how big a mess you get into, don't be afraid, Dad will cover it for you."

After hearing this, Yang Chengdao said gratefully, "Thank you, Dad."

"Don't say thank you all the time. When you have nothing to do, talk to your dad more often. He is still useful." Yang Jun.

"Dad, you are omnipotent in my heart." Yang Cheng said. (End of this chapter)
