The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin naturally adored the three children for quite a while.

Aunt Qi, Ma San, and Chu Xiaoning came home from get off work in the evening.

Aunt Qi and Yang Dalin prepared a large table of dishes.

They entertained three little guests.

After finishing her meal, Aunt Wang packed several boxes of good food, and Yang Dalin personally escorted her home.

Grandpa Wang is also at home. If Grandma Wang doesn't bring any food for dinner...

Poor Grandpa Wang.

If things go wrong, we might end up eating plain noodles without any vegetables.

There's no other way; Grandpa Wang can eat at his workplace during the day.

He's not very good at cooking, and when Aunt Wang comes home in the evenings, she doesn't cook, so he just makes do.

However, recently, Aunt Wang has been helping to take care of the three children.

Aunt Qi often asked Aunt Wang to bring back some good food.

To improve Grandpa Wang's meals.

That also provided him with some nutrition.

Grandma Wang helps take care of the children without asking for money.

We ate at Yang Dalin's place during the day, and the food was very good.

When Yang Dalin returned home that evening, he did not put the car away in the storage space.

It was parked in the garage behind the east courtyard.

I'm going to take a few kids around Beijing these next few days.

Having a car is more convenient.

If you run into someone you know, just say you borrowed it.

No one knows exactly how many capable people Yang Dalin knows.

It's nothing to borrow a Jeep.

Nobody had the time or inclination to investigate him.

Yang Dalin could sense any malice in someone and cripple them on the same day.

They will never wait for someone else to make the first move.

The two Huang brothers shared a room at night.

Huang Xiaoying arranged for her to stay with Aunt Qi that night.

The main reason was to arrange for her, being so small, to stay in a room, so she wouldn't be scared.

That evening, Yang Dalin put his arm around Sister Yan and told her about Wang Xiaocui and Uncle Huang's family.

Of course, there are many things that cannot be said, and Yang Dalin will make up a new story.

They knew that Wang Xiaocui's brother had returned, and the family was reunited.

Grandpa is better now, and Sister Yan can finally relax.

The next day, Yang Dalin went out to find a phone and called Director Hou's workplace.

As expected, Director Hou hasn't returned yet.

I guess I really won't be able to come back for the Chinese New Year.

Those hundreds of experts, some of whom even needed to be arranged by Director Hou.

In addition, the Russians have been in a lot of chaos lately.

Director Hou needs to arrange for people to gather a lot of information.

I'm so busy I'm going crazy.

There's no need to contact Yang Dalin for the time being.

Let's talk about it after the New Year.

There's nothing to worry about for now. These past few days, Yang Dalin has been driving around Beijing with his three young guests during the day.

I also took them to eat a lot of local snacks in Beijing.

I also bought them a lot of things.

Yang Dalin waited until the afternoon of Lunar New Year's Eve before going to the train station to pick up Aunt Liu.

Aunt Qi came with Yang Dalin.

Aunt Liu was still so polite.

They carried a lot of things in large and small bags.

Aunt Qi warmly accepted the things Aunt Liu brought.

The two old friends had a very pleasant chat when they met.

After all, they are about the same age.

Although Aunt Liu was an ordinary rural housewife before.

But I've worked in a military guesthouse for so many years.

They are no longer as reserved as before.

She naturally became more generous in her interactions with others.

Aunt Liu's arrival made the courtyard even more lively.

Yang Dalin also specially invited Grandpa Wang over, so that he wouldn't be too lonely spending the New Year alone at home.

After all, Aunt Wang is here too.

This year's Lunar New Year's Eve dinner was even more sumptuous.

Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal.

The next morning, Yang Dalin, along with Aunt Qi, Chu Xiaoning, and Ma San, went back to No. 95 courtyard to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Sister Yan has three children with her, but they are too young for her to go.

After leaving courtyard number 95, Yang Dalin drove himself to visit several leaders to offer New Year's greetings.

This year, I finally don't have to brave the cold wind and ride a bicycle to wish people a Happy New Year.

It's just that we don't know if we'll still be able to visit relatives and friends for the New Year the year after next.

It hasn't stopped next year, and it seems like the year after that some bastard will suggest not having holidays at all.

As a result, there was no Spring Festival holiday for the next ten years or so.

That's absolutely inhuman.

It was all proposed by a bunch of bastards who wanted to show off and get promoted.

The reason Yang Dalin brought Uncle Huang's family over was that he wanted them to have a good Spring Festival.

They might not be able to live like this for the next ten or so years.

As for rural areas, although there are fewer sacrificial activities during the Lunar New Year, people will still celebrate as usual.

It's the dead of winter, and there's not much work to do in the fields.

They won't even let people rest.

So Yang Dalin wants to have a good New Year.

Yang Dalin spent the entire first day of the Lunar New Year visiting relatives and friends.

The next day, many friends came to our house to wish us a Happy New Year.

Of course, many of the children of the compound also came.

Yang Dalin asked around and found that some of them were indeed planning to join the army on the grasslands next year.

Yang Dalin then introduced Huang Weiguo to him.

Hopefully, they'll have the opportunity to take care of each other.

In a way, Yang Dalin paved the way for Huang Weiguo.

I hope he can become a junior officer in the future.

After retiring from the military, I will live a good life.

General, then there's no need to even think about it.

I doubt that Huang Weiguo has that much good fortune.

I hope to live a peaceful life as a junior military officer and then transfer to a local government position as a junior leader.

As long as we're doing well at home, that's enough.

With her retirement pension and support from her children, Aunt Liu should have a comfortable life in her later years.

The three-day holiday passed quickly.

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Dalin saw Aunt Liu and her family off on the train.

Of course, they were all carrying large and small bags when they left.

Come and don't go indecent.

They gave me a lot of things.

Aunt Qi and Yang Dalin were naturally even more generous.

Even more gifts were given in return.

During this time, Yang Dalin also took many photos of them with his camera, and developed them for them to take away.

These will all be wonderful memories in the future.

The holiday is over.

My daughter-in-law, Chu Yanhua, is also going to work.

Yang Dalin has to take on the heavy responsibility of caring for three children during the day.

Fortunately, Aunt Wang helped me.

Having three children is really easy.

Aside from crying a couple of times when hungry, needing to pee, or needing to poop.

They don't cause trouble at other times.

This made things much easier for Yang Dalin.

However, Yang Dalin did not dare to be careless.

She often sits by the two baby strollers, reading a book while keeping an eye on them.

Time flies, and the first month of the lunar calendar is almost over.

Director Hou finally finished his work and returned to Beijing. He immediately called him over.

First, give him the gold bar that I promised to reward him last time.

Yang Dalin originally intended to sign and take the goods directly.

Then I thought about it, and realized that 66 years have passed. I wonder if things will still be the same as in history.

I don't have many gold bars, so I'll donate them to my workplace.

I hope no bastard sees this record and feels uncomfortable, so he doesn't give himself a beating.

I don't really need this stuff.

There's plenty of space.

It's better to avoid trouble than to cause it.

When you go out on your own, no one will bother you.

Don't let anyone see this and then cause trouble at home.

I won't be there, what if something goes wrong?

However, Director Hou kindly prepared all the formalities and was just waiting for him to sign them.

Yang Dalin said, "Thank you, Director. I'll sign for it first and then donate it to my unit."

I don't want it.
