Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

As Yingzi remembered something, she pulled him toward the side room.

"Look at this, we don't need that wooden barrel anymore." Pushing open the door, a metal boat-shaped vat was placed against the wall.

The shower is fixed to the wall next to it, and there is a special water pipe running inside.

Yang Jianguo, seeing this with envy, slammed the door shut.

"Jianguo, you haven't eaten yet..."

The stove burned really brightly that night!

Without children, Yingzi focused more on her husband and didn't hold back much in the house.

The two suddenly felt the warmth they had when they first got married.

Luckily, Yang Jianguo was physically strong, otherwise he would have collapsed.

I opened my eyes early this morning and saw the bright sunshine outside.

Yang Jianguo lazily closed his eyes again. "System, sign in."

"This total of 30 days has been completed; check-in successful."

"Receive rewards including Fitness Card, Double Experience Card, Fat Burning Card, Beauty Card, and Improved Hearing and Vision Card."

Five cards, all good stuff.

Yang Jianguo immediately chose to use the Body Strengthening Card and the Hearing and Seeing Card, and the chirping of insects outside became more rhythmic.

The distinct layers of sound entered his ears, like a grand musical performance.

This feeling is truly amazing. If Yang Jianguo hadn't already experienced it, he probably would have been completely absorbed in it.

Having sharp hearing and keen eyesight allows him to have more acute vision and more precise and developed hearing.

This made him more adept at his work.

As for the health card, if it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight and people were walking around in the yard, it would have been useless.

His door probably won't open until tonight.

Yang Jianguo set Yingzi as the target for using the fat-burning card and the beauty card.

The fat-burning calorie will burn off excess fat according to the target body proportions, keeping the body at a healthy standard.

The beauty card works just as its name suggests, especially when you're washing your face and applying face cream after waking up.

Yingzi was surprised. "Jianguo, look at the skin on my face. Hasn't it gotten better?"

The fine lines at the corners of my eyes are still there, as are the smile lines and the upturned corners of my mouth.

But her skin became fair and rosy, just like a ripe apple, moist and shiny, it was so good.

"Things have gotten better; my wife is becoming more and more beautiful."

Yingzi gave him a shy push, then happily skipped towards the stove, radiating a lively and adorable youthful energy.

In reality, it's just that my skin has gotten a little better.

It neither made her more beautiful nor younger; it just made her look less attractive in this era of bare-faced people.

Her change is enough to attract the attention of women.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped outside, he bumped into Ran Qiuye, and Liren immediately lost his composure.

"Yingzi, what did you use? Your complexion looks so good!" Ran Qiuye asked with envy.

He kept asking her questions, making Yingzi blush deeply.

Look at her stammering, and then look inside the room.

Ran Qiuye understood; this was because she was nourished by love.

Wow, those two are really something!

She started dating again just a few days after her child left.

Look at their attitude and their lifestyle.

Then look at your silly husband, so clueless...

Well, that's fine, I'm content!

It's best not to compare yourself to others. There will always be someone better than you. If you keep comparing, you'll never be able to live a normal life.

With a touch of envy, Ran Qiuye went back inside to make pancakes.

June is almost over, which is a good time for villagers to go to the city for the market.

The wild vegetables and other produce harvested from the countryside are also very fresh.

Locust flower noodles, wild vegetable flower rolls.

If possible, add chili oil and some stir-fried diced meat.

My goodness, I was so thirsty!

Sha Zhu can eat six in one meal, and Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang can each eat four. They're so delicious!

"Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang, come help Mom pick wild vegetables." Ran Qiuye called out as she entered the house, and her two sons came over listlessly.

"What's wrong?" Ran Qiuye chuckled and patted her eldest son. "Haven't you been craving wild vegetable and minced meat steamed buns?"

"Hmm." Dazhuang nodded sullenly and said, "Mom, aren't Zhiyuan and Zhiyi coming back?"

"Who told you that? The two of them will come back once they've learned their skills," Ran Qiuye said.

"How many years will that take?" Xiao Zhuang asked. He loved following Zhiyi around like a little follower.

"Six years. If you study again, it will take even longer." Ran Qiuye heard this from Yingzi.

I was surprised when I heard it; those two were really willing to do that.

Her family are all returnees from overseas, how could they not know that schools abroad are better, offering specialized and in-depth learning?

But she couldn't bear to leave; what if something happened while they were far away?

Besides, her experiences over the past ten years have smoothed out her personality and temper.

For her child, she only hopes he will find a job in the future.

Find a good wife who knows how to manage a household, and live a stable and fulfilling life together, and that's all you need.

As for those ideals and great contributions.

Let those who are more capable do it! Their family has already made enough contributions.

She wasn't the only one with this thought.

If I had to say why, it's because I'm disheartened.

These four words best express the feelings of these people.

There are too many unspeakable pains from the past years.

Now, for her, being safe and sound is the greatest happiness in life.

Chapter 340 Three Years, Deep Earth and Hybrid Rice

This weekend, Yang Jianguo has made up his mind to spend time alone with his wife.

Well, I've already had breakfast this morning.

Yang Jianguo rode his bicycle with Yingzi on the back. Yingzi took her camera, and the two of them went out.

I wandered around the city of Beijing for a while.

Yingzi's camera kept ringing incessantly.

Flowerbeds by the roadside, passersby, elderly people pushing carts, and hawkers calling out their wares.

Every scene deserves to be remembered.

Yang Jianguo didn't know what she was filming, but as long as his wife was happy, he could film as much as he wanted.

All my precious cameras have been stored away in a box over the years.

Thankfully, the machines were sturdy these days, and Yingzi took good care of them, otherwise they would have been a pile of scrap metal long ago.

However, this camera is really old.

It's still watchable, but once it gets to the 'dynamic' part, it becomes unwatchable.

"I'll make do with this for now, and buy a new one from Jiangdao later." Yang Jianguo's mind raced, and he quickened his pace.

"Jianguo, Jianguo, slow down." Yingzi patted him from behind, laughing heartily.

"Yingzi, Yingzi, look, look ahead..." Yang Jianguo pointed to the ginkgo avenue ahead and kept urging him to look.

The leaves are not yet yellow; they are in their prime, lush and green.

While it lacks some of the breathtaking beauty of a sunset, it possesses a vibrant and lively springtime charm.

Yang Jianguo slowed his pace and slowly walked through the middle.

Yingzi, holding his shoulder, gazed ahead, her eyes, with their faint wrinkles, narrowing into slits, and murmured, "So beautiful!"

Time flies, and we pass through the ginkgo avenue that has been paved with asphalt and turned golden by the sunlight.

Yang Jianguo has a few more white hairs at his temples; they are the marks of time and the sedimentation of years.

With one leg supporting him on the bike, Yang Jianguo turned around and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful, just as beautiful as it was three years ago." Yingzi responded with a gentle smile, and in Yang Jianguo's eyes, she was more beautiful than any other scenery in the world.

"Haha, my wife is so easy to please." Yang Jianguo pedaled back onto the bike and leaned forward to accelerate: "Let's go, let's go buy fish."

"Slow down, slow down." Patting the man's back, Yingzi noticed the white hair at his temples, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.

For the past three years, he has been working day and night, and Yingzi has watched him grow haggard.

Fortunately, I'm still in good health, and my company arranged for me to have a physical examination every six months.

Unlike some stubborn old women, she cooperated with everything on time, which comforted Yingzi somewhat.

But I really am getting old!

Thinking about it carefully, 20 years have passed since I married him.

Sending our children to study abroad feels like it happened just yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, the children will be coming home for the Chinese New Year.

"Jianguo, Jianguo... What time is the train, Zhiyuan?" Yingzi asked casually as she fiddled with her camera.

"Six o'clock, we should be there soon," Yang Jianguo replied.

"Then why don't you go and pick me up, and I'll walk back myself."

"No thanks, they have so many bags and packages, my car can't possibly hold them all. Let them take a bus home by themselves."

Yang Jianguo replied without hesitation. The child was already quite old, missing an arm or a leg, and he would have to pick him up in person.

Spoiled~

Seeing his serious and proper demeanor, Yingzi smiled secretly.

Fine, keep pretending!

When your daughter comes back, I hope you don't change.

At the market, Yang Jianguo first picked out a fish weighing over three jin (approximately 1.5 kg), and then bought two pieces of fatty pork belly.

He wrapped it in oil paper, tied it with a rope, and headed out.

"Jianguo, that beef looks pretty fresh, shall we buy some?"

"to make."

I bought a variety of things, and then went to Quanjude and got two roast ducks.

Yang Jianguo has almost used up all the tickets he carries.

Over the years, he would occasionally take some tickets from the warehouse and give them to Yingzi for safekeeping under various pretexts.

Firstly, it put her mind at ease, letting her know the family's financial situation and that she didn't need to be overly frugal; we still need to eat.
