Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

On Lunar New Year's Eve, will the couple, Aiguo and Aimin, bring their child?

When it comes to the Lunar New Year, it seems like there's not much change from usual.

It's just that the table is a bit bigger, there are a bit more dishes, and there are a bit more people.

But just mentioning it brings a heartfelt joy and excitement.

"Is Zhiyuan coming back this year?" Yingzi, who was folding clothes, stopped what she was doing.

He hadn't seen his son for two years, and he didn't even call back.

Always busy, busy, busy.

Yingzi wasn't worried about that; she just wanted to ask him if he had found a partner yet.

He himself said it when he went to the Northwest.

Who knows, he might find a wife and settle down in the Northwest.

But now, there's not a single piece of news.

"Didn't you say you'd come back in the letter you sent last time?"

You believe what your son says?

"..."

Yang Jianguo couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself, 'He was absolutely right; that kid never says a word he's telling the truth.'

Seeing that he remained silent, Yingzi sighed.

As parents, it's wrong to discipline them, and it's wrong not to discipline them either.

It's wrong to interfere too little, and it's also wrong to interfere too much.

Thinking about it is wrong, not thinking about it is also wrong.

Reading it is wrong, not reading it is also wrong.

Hey ~

It's really tiring to live this life!

"Are you all packed?" Yang Jianguo got up to look at her, and casually took down the coat that was hanging on the wall nails.

"Okay, where are we going?" Yingzi asked.

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "I'll take you dancing."

"Huh?" Yingzi stared in disbelief, frozen in place.

She can't dance...

"What are you afraid of? I'll take you."

Yang Jianguo took her hand and was about to leave.

Yingzi quickly pulled him back, "Then you have to let me change my clothes!"

"Okay, wear your prettiest one."

Yang Jianguo thought of the clothes Lou Xiao'e had given him, and then he thought of Lou Xiao'e herself.

And his child whom he has never met.

Yang Jianguo had been thinking about finding an opportunity to go to Jiangdao.

But he always uses 'being busy with work' as an excuse, and it's still not over.

He really should go after the New Year.

We can't always make excuses to avoid things.

He couldn't possibly hide from Lou Xiao'e forever and never see her again.

There will always be occasions where we attend together. Should we really draw a line and never see each other again?

This, on the contrary, makes him seem petty.

"How about this one?"

The yellow down jacket wasn't quite the right color, and I was wearing a beige sweater underneath.

The khaki suit trousers were bought by the two of them at Wangfujing Department Store.

"It looks great," Yang Jianguo praised sincerely.

With the passage of time and the changing years, the once lively Yingzi has become noble and elegant.

Because of frequent physical labor, she maintains a particularly good figure.

It's what people mean when they say, "Big where it should be big, small where it should be small."

The charm and elegance of a mature woman are something a young girl can't compare to.

Pulling her coat tighter, Yingzi smiled and said, "If you say it looks good, then it looks good. Let's go!"

A woman dresses up for the man she wants to please, but the only person she ever wanted to please was her own man.

So if he says it looks good, then it looks good.

What others think is none of my business!

Chapter 540 The Grand Ballroom of the Capital: A New Understanding

The taxi stopped in front of the Imperial Grand Ballroom, and Yang Jianguo had just put his hand on the doorknob.

The car door was opened from the outside. "Brother Yang."

The doorman, dressed in a suit and tie with slicked-back hair, wore a fawning smile.

He knew Yang Jianguo; his boss had personally accompanied him to see the dance hall.

Although not detailed, he heard the boss call him "brother-in-law."

It has always been rumored that the boss's success is due to his influential brother-in-law.

Furthermore, the boss later specifically instructed them not to neglect their duties.

So, when the doorman saw him from afar through the car window today, he was already prepared.

Before the car had come to a complete stop, he took a running start and reached it.

He opened the car door before Yang Jianguo could.

"Xiao Li, am I remembering correctly?" Yang Jianguo said.

He has always had a good memory; that's what Aimin called him last time.

"Yes, yes, I'm Xiao Li." The doorman was somewhat flattered that the other party recognized him.

"Thank you, I'm here dancing with my wife today."

Yang Jianguo stepped aside and helped Yingzi out of the car.

Xiao Li quickly asked, "Who is the boss's brother-in-law's wife?"

That's the boss's older sister, who married such a good man.

It's easy to imagine her status in her boss's family; even her own boss would probably have to fawn over and respect her.

As someone who works for the boss, I have to serve him well.

Forget about currying favor; Xiao Li knows better.

Given his status, currying favor with him wouldn't be of any use.

Let's get him familiar first, and maybe one day he'll rise to a managerial position or something.

If you meet again, the other person might casually remark, "Not bad, young man."

He can go from being a wage earner to a high-level wage earner.

The difference cannot be measured by the level of wages.

Knowing this, Xiao Li simply saw the two of them to the door.

After saying a few nice words, he returned to his seat.

There will naturally be someone to greet you inside; everything will be ready as soon as you get out of the car.

With Yingzi holding his arm, Yang Jianguo turned and glanced at Xiao Li standing at the door:

"This young man is quite interesting!"

"is it?"

Yingzi didn't have anything to say; she was currently observing the environment of the dance hall.

This was the first time he had ever been to such an occasion.

"Brother Yang, sister-in-law, I'm Li Mu, the manager of the dance hall. My friends call me Mu Tou."

"The boss specifically instructed us to go this way."

When will you and your husband arrive? Please make sure you are seated in the best possible locations.

The booths on either side of the performance stage are the best seats in the dance hall.

The sofa has a high back and is covered by beaded curtains on three sides.

This ensures privacy without compromising the enjoyment of the performance.

He glanced at his wife and realized she didn't seem to be refusing.

After thanking the other party, Yang Jianguo followed him to the booth.

As soon as I sat down, a girl in a cheongsam brought me various snacks, including melon seeds, candy, and fruit.

Seeing the girls wearing cheongsams, Yingzi realized how hot it was inside.

"Does your dance hall have heating too?" Yingzi asked as she took off her coat.

Li Mu took two steps forward and said in a friendly manner:

"Sister-in-law, it's mainly because there are so many people. Dancing makes you sweat a lot, so it's hot enough without the heating."

“That’s true.” Yingzi nodded and put her coat aside.

Yang Jianguo also took off his coat, handed it to Yingzi, and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

Yingzi folded his coat neatly and placed it beside him: "Is it just alcohol? Anything else is fine."

Yang Jianguo did not answer, but turned his gaze to Li Mu.

Li Mu hurriedly said, "We not only have wine, but also juice, tea, beverages, and coffee. You can have whatever you want."

Yingzi was slightly surprised, thinking to herself, 'Aimin's business is really big.'

The business isn't big enough to offer that many choices.

"The juice is ready, Jianguo, what about you?"

"Tea."

While the manager personally arranged the drinks, Yingzi took another look around the dance hall.

The decor is luxurious, and the space is similar to a two-courtyard house.

All the furnishings were brand new, and the black leather sofa was soft and comfortable.

It looks very high-class, and the overhead lights illuminate the dance hall in a dazzling array of colors.

Previously, I only had a vague idea about his business.

Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I understand why Aiguo agreed to be transferred to work in another place.

This dance hall alone is enough for an ordinary person to work hard for a lifetime.

This was still the most insignificant and trivial business among all his ventures.

“Jianguo, now I roughly know just how big Aimin’s business has become.”

Yang Jianguo used a sharpened wooden stick to insert a slice of apple and handed it to her.

“His business is probably bigger than you think; Aimin has never stopped all these years.”
