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

At the entrance of the zoo in the back hall of Changle Palace, Old Yang was lying in a rocking chair basking in the sun, holding a red clay teapot in his hand, with a strong tea aroma coming out of the mouth of the pot, looking like a retired old man. Two fat boys with black and gray faces stood beside him, blinking and communicating from time to time, and their hands were also busy making gestures.

A few maids stood not far away, watching the situation here with anxious eyes, but they dared not make a sound. Hiding at the entrance of the zoo and peeking in here was a pure black puppy, panting softly with its tongue hanging out, not daring to breathe.

The two naughty boys who accompanied Old Yang to bask in the sun were Yang Changle and Yang Changsheng. Led by Roaring Sky Dog, the two little guys sneaked into the ostrich's nest and stole an ostrich egg. They learned the skill from somewhere, but they roasted the ostrich egg in the fire and shared it.

It's not a big deal, and no one cares about an ostrich egg. The key is that the two naughty kids didn't know how to avoid suspicion. They lit a fire right next to the ostrich nest, and were caught by the ostrich couple returning to the nest. They chased the three egg thieves. If it weren't for the servants protecting them, they would definitely get hurt. After all, Lao Yang has more than a dozen ostriches in the zoo, which can be used for viewing and eating meat. Although ostriches give people a timid feeling, in fact, when ostriches attack humans, they are more powerful than geese.

The two boys' ruthless journey was strangled at the beginning, so the harem manager Tian Ma invited Lao Yang to teach them on the spot. Lao Yang caught a glimpse of the two boys winking at each other and felt amused. Hearing footsteps in the distance, he stopped pretending and sat up lazily to teach the two little ones a lesson.

"Do you two know you are wrong?"

This is the same opening line that parents have used to teach their children for thousands of years.

The two naughty boys stared at Lao Yang with their big innocent eyes and snapped their eyes but didn't answer, as if they were pretending to be very pitiful. Why couldn't I understand what they were saying?

Old Yang didn't bother whether the two children admitted their mistakes or not, and continued:

"The sky and earth are dark yellow, Wu Yi Geng Xin. At the beginning of the world, Pangu created the world, and Nuwa made people out of clay. Since humans appeared on this earth, humans have become the masters of the earth...

Later, Dayu controlled the flood...

Finally, Nurhaci entered the Pass...

Speaking of our Yang family, we have come out of the land of China step by step and become the masters of this land. You two kids are so lucky! You can enjoy the family business that others can't earn in several lifetimes without paying anything! How can you not cherish your life? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Moreover, how can you two children put yourselves in danger!

You understand now!"

The two naughty boys who had been listening to the story for a long time didn't understand what Lao Yang said at all. Even Haitang and Meigui who were standing behind Lao Yang didn't understand what nonsense Lao Yang was talking about! He said a lot of nonsense that humans couldn't understand. It seemed that he didn't grasp the main point, and it seemed that he said something incredible.

Old Yang sighed deeply and said in a very mature manner:

"A rotten tree cannot be carved!

Today, let your father teach you how to deal with this kind of thing!"

After Lao Yang finished speaking, he pretended to be a child and shouted to the guards in the distance: "Hurry up! The beast is hurting people! Help!"

Lao Yang's operation shocked everyone. Even the two silly boys were really dumbfounded. They stared at Lao Yang's performance with wide eyes.

The female guard who heard the noise immediately ran over from a distance, holding a baton in her hand. When she came nearby, she looked directly at the dumbfounded Yang Changle, because the sound made by Old Yang was exactly the same as Yang Changle's.

At this time, Lao Yang opened his mouth and ordered:

"Quickly drag these two ostriches here and kill them for lunch! They dared to disrespect their master, and killing them and eating their meat is the only way to atone for their sins!

The animals kept in the zoo are all ours. If you don't know who the owner is, why keep them? Apart from the dry meat on their bodies, they are useless!

In the future, when you encounter a dangerous situation, run away first and then call for help! Let the guards solve the danger, this is the correct operating procedure. If it is a person, capture him and send him to the mine to work, if it is an animal, capture him and kill him for meat, if it is a plant, dig it up and use it as firewood, this is what our home should look like!

You know what to do this time!"

Old Yang looked at Yang Changle and Yang Changsheng again. The two boys had not yet recovered from what Old Yang said. However, Haitang and Meigui behind Old Yang were not happy about it. They immediately stepped forward and grabbed Old Yang's arms to teach him a lesson.

"Husband, are you crazy? I won't agree to teach them such cruel methods when they are still so young! Stay away from children in the future!"

After Haitang finished speaking, Meigui followed up with another voice: "Husband, if you continue like this, the children will all become murderers! How can they not take their lives seriously? If you teach them this at such a young age, what will happen when they grow up? They will become lawless and commit countless evil deeds!"

Haitang decided to mobilize the power of her sisters to restrain Lao Yang's behavior.

"Today, I will definitely ask the sisters to agree to restrict you from educating the child! You won't have to worry about the child's education in the future. You really don't give everyone peace of mind!"

Old Yang didn't care about the two girls' attitudes. He just looked at the two guys and said:

"No matter what the situation is, ensure your own safety first! When your parents are able to suppress the matter, don't consider other things, keep yourself alive first! Anyway, I don't care about being killed. I need a strong successor. People like Fusu and Zhu Biao will definitely not be considered. A weak character is not in the interests of the Changle Gang!"

Hearing what Old Yang said, Haitang and Meigui were speechless. Although they didn't usually say it, they hoped that their son would inherit the family business in the future. Not to mention that the family business might be so big that it's unimaginable!

The two female guards who received the order from Lao Yang immediately came to the ostrich lying on the ground with its legs twirling, stretched out their hands to pinch the ostrich's head, and with the other hand quickly pinched the third vertebra of the ostrich's neck, twisted it left and right, and suddenly broke it back. With a loud snap, the guards broke the heads of the two ostriches, and the bound legs struggled violently for a few times before becoming motionless.

Old Yang felt a little regretful. Although the guards killed the ostrich cleanly, the lack of blood made it seem incomplete. However, seeing the two naughty boys had become quiet with their eyes wide open, he gave up the idea of ​​bleeding them. He decided to start with the simplest teaching. He had to take it step by step.

Haitang and Meigui rushed forward to hug Changle and Changsheng, and comforted them softly, trying to dispel the fear in the hearts of the two children. Lao Yang waved his hand, and the two guards dragged the ostriches out of the zoo. It is estimated that parts of the two ostriches will appear on the lunch at noon!

Seeing the two ostriches being dragged away, the two boys immediately came to their senses, broke free from their mother's arms, rushed forward and kicked the ostriches a few times, shouting loudly:

"Oh, revenge! Take Little Gray with you. Let Little Gray bite them!"

At this time, the Roaring Sky Dog hiding at the entrance of the zoo dared to sneak over, and came close to Yang Jingle and Yang Changsheng, whining and making its presence felt. The two little ones immediately hugged the Roaring Sky Dog, kissed it on the face, and then ran back to their mothers, taking Haitang and Meigui to the zoo to see other animals.

The Sky Roaring Dog, which had shown its head, tucked its tail between its legs and peeked at Old Yang. Old Yang looked at the Sky Roaring Dog with a smile, waved his hand and called out, "Xiao Hei, come here and squat!"

Roaring Sky Dog hung its head, came to Lao Yang, and squatted on the ground with a wronged look. Lao Yang reached out and slapped the dog on the head to teach him a lesson.

"You are a thief dog, and you still feel wronged! Did you lead your little master around everywhere? I know you are smart, but you can't be clever. If anything happens to the two of them, I will make your bloodline disappear! It won't affect my life without you. You have been living a life of eating and waiting to die at home these years. I don't care if there is one more or one less. Eating dog meat is also a good choice!"

Xiaotian Dog was so scared that he rolled on the ground. Since Luo Yun, Zhou Xiaobai and others who were best to Xiaotian Dog were not around, Xiaotian Dog did not dare to resist and could only act pitifully.

Lao Yang kicked Roaring Sky Dog on the butt and threatened: "I'll let you go today. Go follow them. If anything goes wrong, I'll stew you first!"

Roaring Sky Dog immediately stood up and ran away, soon disappearing in the zoo.

Old Yang looked at the sun in the sky, stretched himself and lay back in the recliner. He took out a biography of the temple copied by Pudar from the space and began to read it.

It is not too difficult for Lao Yang to read books recorded in divine texts now, and he can basically understand 70% to 80% of the meaning. He is not very fond of some biographies of temple figures copied by Pudel, but reading divine texts regularly will improve his sense of language and understanding of divine texts.

Although most of the biographies copied by Pudar were biographies of bishops, some differences can be seen from them. Each faction of the gods in the temple has its own team, and they do not recognize the believers of other gods very much, and they will attack each other.

Old Yang was basking in the sun while reciting the biography of the divine text to find the sense of language. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and a few more little guys came to the zoo under the leadership of Yang Changgong and Yang Changchun, followed by more than a dozen guards and nannies, with great momentum!

Seeing Old Yang lying in the sun at the entrance of the zoo, everyone stopped. Only a few little guys rushed up and started grabbing Old Yang's clothes. Some even directly snatched the book from his hand.

Old Yang casually hugged his eldest daughter Yang Yueru, who was standing beside him, and touched Yang Yueru's hair and asked:

"Tell me, who led you guys? What are you doing here at the zoo?"

Yang Changgong, who was grabbing Old Yang's clothes and climbing onto the recliner, answered loudly: "Dad, Dad, I brought everyone here! Tian Ma said that the eldest and second brothers were roasting bird eggs here, and we came here to see if the bird eggs are delicious! Dad, have you seen the eldest and second brothers? We want to see the bird eggs!"

After saying that, Yang Changgong stopped climbing up and started looking around. After not seeing Yang Changle and Yang Changsheng, he started climbing towards Old Yang again.

Old Yang looked at Yang Changchun, who was lying on the ground flipping through the sacred book, and Yang Changqi, who was making trouble nearby. He waved his hand and asked the nanny standing nearby to come forward, pick up the little ones, and walk into the zoo.

Old Yang was not going to block the entrance of the zoo. The little guys might come back to harass him again. He picked up the sacred book on the ground, put away the recliner, and strolled to the garden. He stopped by a pond, put away the recliner, and threw out a fishing rod from the space. There was no hook but an earthworm tied to it, and he started to tease the fish in the pond.

The book of divine texts that he had put away before appeared in his hand again. He recited the divine texts softly while gently shaking the fishing rod with his hand, teasing the koi in the water.

Around noon, Tian Ma sent someone to invite Lao Yang to the restaurant for dinner. Lao Yang slowly put away the divine biography, put the fishing rod back into the space, and threw the earthworms into the pond to feed the fish. He casually put the recliner into the pavilion next to him and walked briskly towards the restaurant.

When I arrived outside the restaurant, I heard the noisy sounds inside. Ever since Lao Yang relaxed the restrictions on the older children, a group of children began to dine with Lao Yang and his family. Every meal became a noisy party. Haitang also mentioned that she wanted to teach the children the rules, but Lao Yang rejected her idea in the end.

Old Yang didn't want to be a rigid head of the family. As long as the children loved each other, nothing else mattered. Too many restrictions would create a gap in family affection. So when Old Yang entered the house, he saw Yang Changle holding an ostrich egg and showing it off to his brothers and sisters. This was the spoils he and Yang Changsheng had snatched from the ostrich nest. After all this, not a single ostrich egg was left, and all were brought to the dining table.

When Haitang, Meigui, Cui Li'niang and other lovers saw Lao Yang coming back, they immediately started to urge the children to sit down and eat. Seeing that the effect was not good, Haitang immediately waved her hand to let the nanny standing behind come forward, each holding one child and putting them in their respective seats, and began to enjoy the sumptuous lunch.

Soon, Lao Yang discovered Xiao Hei, the Sky-Howling Dog, crawling under the table. This flatterer was now looking for a place to hide with a big chicken leg in his mouth.

The main dish for lunch today was indeed two huge ostriches. From the two huge roasted bird legs on the table, it was clear that the two ostriches were not fully served. While tasting the ostrich meat, Lao Yang admired the children playing.

Yang Changsheng was still secretly throwing the ostrich meat in the bowl under the table to tease Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was running back and forth between Yang Changsheng and Yang Changle, and soon he was full and fat, then he abandoned his two little masters and ran to a corner at the door to take a nap.

After finishing lunch, Lao Yang asked Haitang, "Why didn't I see Luo Yun again? Where did she go?"

Rose answered Lao Yang's questions while eating the fruit salad in her bowl.

"I know about this. Luo Yun said a few days ago that he wanted to go to the mercenary company to take a look. The Mercenary Academy has just started classes and he said that a cousin of a relative was sent here by his parents to study, and he asked Luo Yun to take care of him. So Luo Yun went to the Mercenary Academy to look for him today!"

After Rose finished speaking, Haitang continued, "This time, the Mercenary Academy is recruiting 15,000 students! Many of the applicants have some relationship with us, but the degree of closeness is slightly different. Luo Yun is also representing our family's attitude this time. Don't worry, she will definitely be able to handle it!"

"As long as you don't run away to other countries, it'll be fine! The world has been too peaceful lately, and we're not used to the sudden end of wars around us! Bring more guards with you when you travel, because we don't know who is secretly preparing a big move against us!"

Old Yang reached out and picked up a fruit he brought out from the temple and put it in his mouth, eating as he spoke.

"Got it~! Master, let's try to reduce going out!"

Haitang replied to Lao Yang unhappily.
