Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

Old Yang accompanied Haitang and Meigui to the villa by car. He saw a word "Fu" pasted on the gate, red paper spring couplets on both sides, red lanterns hanging, and two rows of colorful lights hanging inside the door. Old Yang remembered that today should be the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Old Yang quickly combined gold and silver in the space to make a flying golden phoenix necklace and a spreading peacock necklace. The chains were made in the shape of crabapple and rose respectively, and the names of the two women were engraved on them. Seeing that there was still time, he quickly made two crowns, a Chinese-style flying phoenix crown and a peacock crown, one gold and one silver, inlaid with a large number of gems, the golden phoenix with rubies, and the silver peacock with sapphires. The names of the two women were engraved in the hidden positions of the two crowns. The two ear pendants were both hollowed out with diamonds and purple gems inlaid with golden flower shapes, and the names of the two women were also engraved in the hidden positions. He also found jade from the space to make two bracelets with different shapes, and added the names of the two women.

After arriving at the living room, Lao Yang asked the two women to sit down and wait for him in the living room. Lao Yang went straight upstairs to the room, took out the items from the space, and put them into two metal boxes, one engraved with "heart to heart" and the other engraved with "mutual support", and then hurried downstairs. The two women saw the box held by Lao Yang and were very curious about it. Lao Yang came to the living room and placed the two boxes on the coffee table, and pushed one to each of them and asked them to open it.

The two girls were very surprised to find a set of exquisite jewelry after opening it. Lao Yang explained to them the difference of each set of jewelry. The golden phoenix of Haitang represents Haitang as the hostess of the family, the peacock of Rose represents the most beautiful face of the family, the snake bracelet represents loyalty and longevity, and the Pisces bracelet represents luck and well-being. The two girls were moved to tears by the gifts prepared by Lao Yang.

Old Yang asked the two girls to put away their jewelry and said, "I have prepared it for you a long time ago and was going to give it to you during the New Year. I was away for a long time this time and today is already New Year. I still wish you two peace and health."

The two girls were also moved and hugged Lao Yang and said, "Husband, it's great to have you! Without you, we don't know what to do!"

Old Yang hurriedly comforted the two girls and finally they stopped crying and gradually became happy.

At this time, Rose hugged Lao Yang's arm and said excitedly: "Honey, Sister Haitang is pregnant!"

Old Yang turned to look at Haitang in surprise, and Haitang nodded at him shyly. Old Yang immediately stood up happily and pulled Haitang up, spinning her around a few times before gently putting her down and hugging her in his arms, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, I finally have a successor!"

Haitang also happily leaned against Lao Yang. Seeing Rose's sad look, she quickly got out of Lao Yang's arms, walked over, held Rose's hand and said, "Rose, don't worry. You should spend more time with your husband. You will have to take care of your husband in the future. I am not in good health. You will get pregnant soon!"

Rose's eyes lit up instantly. She was thinking that since Haitang was not feeling well now, she would be all mine in the future. She should be able to get pregnant soon. Why did she suddenly feel so happy? She nodded very vigorously and said, "Yes! I will definitely work hard!"

Old Yang walked up to the two girls, hugged them and said, "Don't be too anxious about getting pregnant. We will get pregnant if we work hard. Tell the kitchen to cook now. I will go out with you to relax in the afternoon! Do you have plans for tomorrow, the second day of the Chinese New Year? Which family shall we go to for New Year's greetings?"

Haitang took over the conversation and said, "I've discussed it with my family. We'll go to Fang's house on the second day of the New Year, and Deng's house on the fifth day. We'll make our own arrangements for the third and fourth days. Husband, have you arranged for anyone to go with you to pay New Year's greetings?"

Old Yang shook his head and said, "Our family rose too fast. We have no roots in Hong Kong and no backstage support. We rely on ourselves and have no one to visit. I would like to host a banquet for all the staff of Changle and the employees of Changle Group. I wonder if there is such a large venue in Hong Kong."

Haitang thought for a moment and said, “Except for the racecourse, there is basically no venue that can accommodate nearly 1 people, but there are not even enough tables to accommodate 1000 people!”

Old Yang thought about it and realized that there was no large venue in Hong Kong and the meeting could only be held outdoors, which would cause too many problems. So Old Yang shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, how about this, Rose, you call the gang and the company and tell them to pay everyone one month's salary as a year-end bonus."

Rose nodded in agreement: "Okay, husband, I'll make a note of it! I'll arrange it in a moment."

Old Yang picked up Haitang and sat on the sofa. While stroking Haitang's belly, he said, "The little one will be born this year. It's time to think of a name."

Rose squeezed over and said, "Husband, does our family have a genealogy? Does the child have a family tree?"

Old Yang shook his head and said, "The war destroyed everything. There is no inheritance anymore! Although our family is not a famous one, we are also a wealthy one. We will definitely get better and better in the future. It is time to rebuild the family tree and create a new inheritance! I need to think about this carefully, and we can discuss it after I think it through!"

At this time, Steward Tian came in from outside and bowed to the three people and said, "The master has already done it. The kiln has been blown up. I have arranged for people to start completely dismantling it tomorrow, and to compensate for the impact on the surrounding area!"

Old Yang said to Butler Tian, ​​"Very good, that's all! Old Tian, ​​didn't your wife and children come back for the New Year?"

"Yes, Master. They live abroad, and my son doesn't care much about Chinese festivals now! I have discussed it with my wife, and she will be back soon. Let her get familiar with the environment and get to know the master and his wife for a while, and if it's suitable, let her be responsible for managing the backyard in the future."

"Well, that's good. If the child doesn't want to come back, then don't come back. Just do your best to arrange it. Please ask the kitchen to prepare a few delicious dishes and invite our guards. We can have a meal together."

"You need to use better ingredients. We all need to help and look after each other when we live together! I'll give you some seafood later and ask you to cook it."

"Yes, sir. I'll arrange it right away!"

After everyone else went down, Haitang and Meigui started to pester Lao Yang and asked him to tell them about the trip.

Lao Yang simply recounted what happened: He took a boat to Vietnam, and after crossing the Qiongzhou Strait, he was knocked unconscious by a special weapon sent by Soli. When he woke up, he appeared on an American warship, heading to the United States. He took the opportunity to jump into the sea when the soldiers on the warship were not paying attention. Relying on his profound skills, he swam a long way on the seabed before getting rid of the entanglement of the US military. Finally, he used the turtle breathing skill to drift on the sea, and finally encountered a passing ship and was rescued. After several transfers, he arrived in Hong Kong last night, and secretly sneaked back to the workshop to practice for a night. After recovering, I notified you to come and pick me up.

The two women also looked at Lao Yang nervously and said, "Why do the United Kingdom and the United States always revolve around your husband and always want to deal with you!"

Lao Yang said helplessly: "Maybe it's because our family's huge wealth is of unknown origin? Our family is so rich, but there is no legitimate way to make money. So we will be targeted by many forces, to see if they can take a bite out of us. And it will be very difficult to get rid of them, unless you become penniless or are arrested by them, or disappear! Well, you don't have to worry, they can stare at us, it won't affect our normal life! They don't dare to arrest us blatantly. We will get used to it in the future. Rich people are always stared at by many people. We must pay attention to protecting our own safety, and leave the rest to God!"

The two girls also quickly bowed to the sky and said, "May God bless us with smooth sailing and peace!"

Old Yang looked at the two girls with a smile on his face and asked them to try on the jewelry and see if they fit! The two girls happily took the box and went upstairs.

Lao Yang picked up the phone next to him and called the newspaper. After the call was connected, Lao Yang said, "Is this the newspaper? I want to publish an article. Can you send someone to do an interview? It would be good in the afternoon!"

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Excuse me, sir, are you doing an interview? Or a narrative? Or a newspaper article?"

Lao Yang replied: "I want to write an autobiography and publish a book, so send a professional reporter over. The address is No. 22, Villa District, Tsim Sha Tsui."

"Okay sir, someone will come to interview you this afternoon."

"Yeah!" Then Lao Yang hung up the phone.

Old Yang got up and went to the kitchen, where he saw the cook was already busy cooking, and housekeeper Tian had arranged several people to help. Old Yang looked around but couldn't find a suitable spot, so he went to the underground garage and found a pickup truck parked in a corner. Old Yang walked over to take a look, and it should be the truck used for purchasing.

Lao Yang took out two 5-meter-long fish and 10 lobsters over a foot long from the space, and released a big turtle. These were all marine creatures that tried to attack Lao Yang on the seabed. Lao Yang returned to the kitchen and called two cooks, housekeeper Tian and a few guards. He went to the garage and pointed at the seafood on the pickup truck and asked them to move it up and find a way to prepare it for the banquet.

When they saw such big fish and seafood, they were very surprised. They didn't know when they were put here. Then they started to carry the seafood to the kitchen in a hurry.

The two cooks said to Lao Yang with difficulty: "Master, we don't have a stove to cook such a large seafood. Fish and shrimp are easy to use and can be cut into pieces, but this turtle can only be chopped up and the meat can be used to make soup. We can't serve the whole turtle for the banquet, and the quality will be much worse!"

Old Yang said indifferently: "Just break it down and clean up the tortoise shell. We are having a family dinner so we don't care about the appearance. As long as it tastes good and everyone is happy to eat it, that's all!"

The two cooks immediately said with confidence: "Okay, sir, now we can start working without any worries!"

"Yeah." Old Yang waved his hand and let them leave.

Lao Yang looked at the vehicles in the garage and found a relatively sturdy car with strong off-road performance to store in the space. After thinking about it, Lao Yang decided to take some time to go to the gas station to store some oil in the space. The motorcycles and cars in the space all consume oil.

Lao Yang came to the kitchen and found Butler Tian and told him that a car downstairs had been driven away. He asked Butler Tian to buy two more cars with good off-road performance and put them in the garage. Butler Tian immediately agreed.

Old Yang returned to the living room and saw that Haitang and Meigui had already changed their jewelry and clothes. Haitang changed into a white Confucian dress, with a phoenix crown, earrings, necklace, and bracelets, which immediately sparkled with gold and looked extremely sacred, with a bit of the posture of a queen. Meigui next to her was wearing a red jacket with a horse-faced skirt and a peacock accessory, looking like a proud peacock, with a variety of manners and beauty. Old Yang inlaid and hung a lot of gems of various colors on the crowns of the two women, which sparkled under the light, and the colors were very beautiful!

Old Yang immediately raised his head and chest, looking 45 degrees to the two women and said, "Queen, my beloved concubines, how about we go out of the palace for a tour today? You can see the empire I have built!"

Looking at Lao Yang's expression, the two women burst out laughing, squatted down and saluted, saying, "It's the Emperor!" After saying that, the two women couldn't help laughing.

Old Yang walked up to one of them with his head held high and his chest puffed out, pinched her cheek and said, "You are so beautiful, it's so nice to marry you!"

"It is our blessing to meet our husbands!" The two girls said with a smile, hugging Lao Yang's arms.

Old Yang took out two fist-sized pearls from the space and handed them to the two people, saying: "This is the legendary South Pearl. I picked it up in the sea. Each of you can take one to play with!"

"Wow! So big!" The two girls immediately shouted excitedly. It was the first time they had seen such a big pearl. Although it was not very round, it was a rare South China pearl. If it was taken out and polished, it would become a treasure.

The two girls each picked up a South Pearl and gathered together to discuss it. Old Yang went to the coffee table, made himself a cup of tea, and sat down to drink it.

Lao Yang drank tea for a while, and seeing that the two girls were still discussing the two large beads, he said to Haitang, "Haitang, do you want to inform Mina to come to Hong Kong for a few days so that they can get along well and deepen their relationship?"

The two girls immediately stopped their discussion and looked at Lao Yang. Haitang said indifferently, "Okay! It's not easy for Mina to be alone over there, it would be nice to take her over and get to know her!"

Rose was a little emotional and said, "Why let that Japanese woman come here? Husband, do you want her to live in Hong Kong too?"

Haitang pulled Rose and whispered in her ear: "Let her come over to share the pressure with you. I'm not feeling well right now, and you definitely can't handle it alone! How can you have a baby then?"

Rose thought about it and it was true. Since it was already like that, she could just take over and share the pressure. Besides, she and Haitang were both married in a formal way! That Japanese woman could only be considered a concubine.

Rose agreed and said, "Okay, I'll call Japan and ask Mina to fly over here. You're such a steal, husband!"

Lao Yang hugged Rose and kissed her, then continued, "I brought back a lot of seafood from the sea, and I just gave some to the kitchen. What do you need to bring to Haitang's house tomorrow? Tell me first and I'll prepare some gifts for you!"

Rose immediately asked Lao Yang curiously: "Husband, how did you bring back all those seafood?"

Lao Yang smiled mysteriously and pulled the two girls upstairs. The two girls blushed immediately, especially Haitang, who hit Lao Yang twice and said, "I'm still pregnant and can't be intimate with you. You and Meigui go upstairs!"

Lao Yang patted his butt and said, "What are you thinking about! I'm taking you to see my new abilities!"

The two blushing girls followed Lao Yang to the bedroom upstairs. After closing the door, Lao Yang said, "This time when I jumped into the sea, the situation was very critical. In a desperate situation, I opened up a new ability, which is the different space. That is, I can transfer some items to a space. I can open this space at any time to store or take out items from it. Just like this..."

When Lao Yang stretched out his hand, a gold ingot appeared in his palm, and when he stretched out his other hand, a silver ingot appeared.

"Wow!" The two girls came over in surprise, and each of them picked up a gold ingot, which felt really heavy! Then they looked at Lao Yang in surprise.

Old Yang continued to deceive: "This is a new ability I discovered, equivalent to the Sumeru mustard seed in ancient legends!"

The two girls immediately grabbed Lao Yang's hands and asked, "Husband, husband, what other treasures do you have hidden? Will you become a fairy one day and fly away like Chang'e!"

Old Yang looked at the two girls in astonishment, and admired their imagination. He then hugged the two girls and said, "What are you two fools thinking about! We don't know about ancient times, but now it is certain that no one can become a god! I just have some special abilities, which can neither make me immortal nor let me ascend to heaven! I am just much stronger than ordinary people. But there is one legend that should be true, that is, the higher the ability of a person, the lower the chance of giving birth to offspring. You see, none of the gods in myths and legends have children, and even if they do, it was before they became gods!
