Chapter 689 690. Satisfaction and happiness, news about the fourth brother

After working and living in Quancheng for most of her life, Zeng Danling suddenly has to leave. Although she feels reluctant, she is more looking forward to the future and missing her family.

Following Yue Wenxuan's instructions, she simply packed a few sets of clothes and boarded the train to Kyoto.

The train was moving slowly on the track, but Zeng Danling's thoughts were running wild. She imagined the prosperity of Kyoto and the joy of reuniting with her long-lost family, and her heart was filled with warmth.

When the train slowly pulled into Kyoto Station, Zeng Danling walked out of the exit. The bustling scene before her made her feel a little dazzled.

Tall buildings stood before her eyes, and the wide roads were busy with cars and pedestrians. Compared with the tranquility and simplicity of Quancheng, the prosperity and noise of Kyoto made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Yue Wenxuan was waiting outside and soon saw his wife stop and look around, so he quickly walked over to her.

"I've finally got you here. You've been sitting on the train for such a long time. Are you tired?" Yue Wenxuan asked with concern as he took the few pieces of luggage from his wife's hands.

"I listened to you and booked a sleeper berth. I slept quietly all the way. How can I be tired?"

Zeng Danling carefully looked at her husband whom she had not seen for several months. He was still the same person, still looked so young, but he looked more energetic and more fashionable than before. He was wearing an ordinary Zhongshan suit, but it looked particularly neat and stylish on him, making Yue Wenxuan look like a returned overseas Chinese.

After all, her husband was already 68 years old, and he suddenly went to an unfamiliar environment. Zeng Danling was very worried. Now she finally felt relieved and said with relief:

"It seems that I was worried about you for nothing. I was afraid that after you went to Hong Kong Island, you wouldn't be able to adapt to the climate and food there and would starve to death. Seeing how energetic you are now, it's obvious that you have had a good time during this period."

"It's mainly because I made money in Hong Kong Island. Anyone who made so much money would definitely be in high spirits."

"How much money did you make? You always keep it secret from me. Can't you just tell me and make me happy?" Zeng Danling asked with some resentment.

Yue Wenxuan smiled slightly when he heard this, but still did not tell her the truth. He just said, "The amount of money is a bit too large. Our whole family cannot spend it all in a lifetime. I am mainly worried that it will scare you. If I really tell you the truth, you will probably not be able to sleep."

Although Yue Wenxuan did not say the number, the meaning was very clear. Zeng Danling had already guessed that it would be an astronomical figure, and it was enough to understand this.

"Don't you see how old I am? I'm already 44 years old and have lived for most of my life, but I can still be scared by you. You underestimate me.

That is to say, I trust you 100%. If it were someone else, and you didn't even tell your wife how much money you have at home, do you think she would get mad at you?"

Zeng Danling was just asking casually. She really didn't care how much savings her family had because she had gotten used to it over the years.

Yue Wenxuan has always been like this, because he has his own secrets and it is impossible for him to tell the truth to others, so no matter who he lives with, he is the one who holds the financial power.

When a couple lives together, there may be some friction at first, but they will get used to it over time.

Zeng Danling's life is very happy now. She never has to worry about the trivialities of life. Her husband takes care of the daily necessities, and she just needs to do her job well.

Moreover, since she married Yue Wenxuan, Yue Wenxuan would give her some money from time to time for her to save, and this deposit alone had long exceeded 10,000 yuan. Without having to worry about trivial matters in life, she naturally cared less about money.

The couple walked out of the station side by side. Zeng Danling was attracted by the surging flow of people on the road and exclaimed from time to time. Yue Wenxuan saw it and smiled from time to time.

The two got on the bus and slowly headed home.

Zeng Danling kept asking questions along the way, about life in Hong Kong Island and their future plans. Yue Wenxuan patiently answered them one by one, with a happy smile on his face.

When the two walked into the Overseas Chinese Garden, Zeng Danling's eyes were full of surprise. She had never thought that one day she would live in a residential area as beautiful as a scenic spot.

While explaining everything to his wife, Yue Wenxuan led her into their home in Building No. 2.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a spacious and bright living room. There are valuable calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the floor is made of shiny marble, and the furniture is all trendy Western-style solid wood furniture, which looks both grand and elegant.

Zeng Danling was stunned. She couldn't believe that this was her home. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't even imagine that it was just a small home where she lived normally, but it could be so luxurious!

"Wenxuan, this... is this really our home? It's too luxurious. Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? It doesn't seem real at all." Zeng Danling's voice was trembling a little.

"Of course, we may have to live here for the next few years." Yue Wenxuan said with a smile.

After walking around the living room, Yue Wenxuan led his wife into the master bedroom.

The bedroom was also luxuriously decorated, with a large bed occupying the center of the room, and a chaise longue and a small coffee table beside the bed. Zeng Danling sat on the bed, feeling the softness of the Simmons mattress, and her heart was filled with emotion.

She had never thought that there would be a day when she would live in such a luxurious house and lead a life that had never appeared in her dreams.

Yue Wenxuan took his wife around the house, and after she calmed down a little, he continued:

"The two houses I bought in Huaqiao Park are too big, and with all the children coming home for dinner, there are too many people, and I can't handle it all by myself.

So, I hired a full-time chef and a full-time nanny some time ago.

The chef's name is Wang Liubao, and the other person is his wife Meng Yinhua. Wang Liubao is a very good cook, having worked as a chef in three big restaurants before. Meng Yinhua is very good at making pastries. With the two of them cooking, you will be in for a treat in the future."

Zeng Danling has become a little numb from the constant accidents. "After all, you have money now, and it's all foreign exchange, so I won't say you have money to burn. Do whatever you want. After all, I am one of the beneficiaries and I am enjoying it too."

Yue Wenxuan laughed, "You are right to think so. If you have money, you should enjoy life more. Now is a new era. We don't have to hide our money. We should spend it when we should spend it and enjoy it when we should enjoy it."

That night, when the children came home from school, they were all very happy to see Zeng Danling finally arrived.

Especially Yue Hongxiu, who was separated from his mother for the first time in his life. After several months, he finally met his mother again. You can imagine how excited he was.

First he hugged his mother and cried and laughed, then he hugged his mother's arms tightly, and was reluctant to let go.

The mother and daughter talked privately in the room for nearly an hour, and only returned to normal when it was time for dinner.

Zeng Danling had just arrived in Kyoto, and Yue Wenxuan did not ask her to report to the Kyoto University Library immediately. After she started working, she would not have free time, so Yue Wenxuan planned to take his wife to Kyoto City for two days and then consider working.

Because of work reasons, Zeng Danling had come to Kyoto twice before for meetings and studies, but each time the schedule was very tight and she could only find time to visit department stores in Kyoto and had not visited any of the attractions.

She will be working and living in Kyoto for a long time in the future, so while she has time now, she will of course go around and have some fun. This is also a good opportunity to get to know Kyoto comprehensively.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and dappled onto Zeng Danling's face. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and felt an unprecedented sense of peace and satisfaction. The reunion last night made her feel as if she was in a warm dream.

After breakfast, the couple took a bus to Tiananmen Square.

The square was crowded with people, but in good order. Zeng Danling was deeply shocked by the scene before her eyes. She had never seen such a spectacular sight. The Tiananmen Gate Tower stood tall and majestic, and the five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, as if telling the glory and honor of this country.

Zeng Danling's eyes were shining with excitement. She stood in the square, feeling the atmosphere coming from all directions, her heart filled with pride.

After staying in Tiananmen Square for more than an hour, at Yue Wenxuan's suggestion, the two continued to the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City, a name Zeng Danling had only seen in books, now she finally had the opportunity to witness its splendor with her own eyes, which brought her expectations to a peak.

The two walked through the Tiananmen Gate Tower and entered this thousand-year-old imperial palace.

Zeng Danling was amazed by the grandeur and magnificence of the Forbidden City. The red walls and yellow tiles, the golden splendor, every detail revealed the majesty and style of the royal family. She followed Yue Wenxuan, listening to him tell the history and legends of this place, while carefully feeling the heaviness and depth of this palace.

In every corner of the Forbidden City, one can hear the echo of history. Zeng Danling seemed to see the figures of palace maids in gorgeous clothes walking around the palace, and seemed to hear the voices of the emperors handling state affairs here.

Walking in the Forbidden City, she felt as if she was in a dream where time and space intertwined, yet she could clearly feel the vicissitudes and changes that this palace had experienced.

After leaving the Forbidden City, it was almost noon. Yue Wenxuan and his wife came to Wangfujing Street.

This bustling commercial street caught Zeng Danling's attention.

She looked at the shops and stalls on both sides of the street, and felt the prosperity and vitality that belonged to Kyoto. She held Yue Wenxuan's hand and walked through the crowd, always with a smile on her face. "You must be thirsty after walking around for a long time. There is a teahouse in front, why don't we go have a cup of tea first." Yue Wenxuan suggested.

"Okay."

In an old teahouse in Wangfujing, they sat down and tasted a cup of fragrant jasmine tea that old Kyoto people loved.

Zeng Danling closed her eyes and felt the fragrance of tea in her mouth, as if she was in a peaceful world. She looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness. She knew that all this was because she met Yue Wenxuan, which changed his fate and gave her the opportunity to come to this prosperous city and live such a life.

The midday sun shone through the window of the teahouse, sprinkling onto Zeng Danling's face, adding a bit of radiance to her already rosy complexion.

With the special cosmetics provided by Yue Wenxuan for daily maintenance, Zeng Danling, who is 44 years old this year, still has smooth and fair skin, without a trace of wrinkles on her face. She looks only about 30 years old and still very young.

"Wenxuan, where should we go next?" Zeng Danling asked, putting down the teacup in her hand.

Yue Wenxuan smiled slightly, "Since we are in Kyoto, how can we not try Quanjude's roast duck? It is one of the specialties of Kyoto."

Zeng Danling heard this and said with some regret: "The last time I came to Kyoto, I suggested eating roast duck, but other colleagues thought the price was too expensive. Few people agreed and many opposed, so we didn't go in the end."

"Now that there are only two of us, we can make our own decisions. There is no need to seek other people's opinions. If we say we will leave, we will leave."

The two left the teahouse and continued walking along Wangfujing Street, and soon arrived at the door of Quanjude.

This quaint building seems to be a witness to history, standing quietly on this bustling commercial street.

Zeng Danling looked up and saw a golden sign hanging on the door lintel. The three big characters "Quanjude" were shining brightly in the sun.

When she walked into the store, she was greeted by the rich aroma of roast duck. Although she had eaten a lot for breakfast, Zeng Danling couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She looked around and saw that the store was elegantly decorated with antique style, and every corner revealed a unique charm.

The two were arranged to sit at a window seat. Yue Wenxuan skillfully ordered a whole roast duck and two large bowls of duck bone soup. That was not enough, he actually ordered two more dishes, namely braised sea cucumber and soft-fried prawns.

Zeng Danling looked at the menu. A whole roast duck costs eight to ten yuan. Duck bone soup is not cheap either, with a large bowl costing sixty cents. The two stir-fried dishes Yue Wenxuan ordered were both relatively expensive. The braised sea cucumber cost five and twenty yuan, and the deep-fried prawns cost four and eighty yuan.

"Why order so much? Can we finish it?" Although Zeng Danling knew that her family was rich, she still felt that spending so much money on a meal was a bit too extravagant.

"If you can't finish it, you can take it away. This is the first time I invite you to Quanjude to eat roast duck, so there should be some sense of ceremony. It can't be too simple."

Seeing Yue Wenxuan speaking as if it was a matter of course, Zeng Danling felt warm in her heart even though she did not agree with his consumption concept.

At this moment, if money is not an issue, Zeng Danling really feels that such a life is wonderful.

This kind of wonderful life is definitely not something that everyone can experience. After all, people still have to face reality. This meal cost more than 20 yuan, an average of a little over 10 yuan per person. This level of consumption is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

The aroma of the roast duck was so tempting. After just drinking a cup of tea, Zeng Danling was already feeling hungry.

After a while, the roast duck was served on the table. The roast duck was golden in color, with crispy skin and tender meat, exuding an enticing aroma.

Zeng Danling couldn't wait to pick up a piece of duck meat, wrap it in a lotus leaf pancake, dip it in a little sauce, and take a light bite. She could smell the fragrance all over her mouth.

She looked at Yue Wenxuan in surprise, "Wenxuan, this roast duck is so delicious! After all, it is a century-old brand. I have never eaten such delicious roast duck before!"

Yue Wenxuan looked at his wife's satisfied expression and was filled with joy. "As long as you like it. We'll have a chance to eat here again in the future."

The two of them were enjoying the food and chatting. Yue Wenxuan also gave Zeng Danling some scientific knowledge, telling her that the reason why Quanjude's roast duck is so delicious is because they use high-quality ducks and use a unique roasting process. Every roast duck they roast embodies the chefs' superb skills and awe of the ingredients.

Night fell and the lights came on. After a whole day, Zeng Danling and Yue Wenxuan returned home with heavy steps and happy mood.

The children have already returned home from school, and Master Wang has already prepared the food and is waiting for them to come home and eat.

After dinner, the family sat together and shared what they had seen, heard, felt and learned that day.

Zeng Danling looked at her family and this warm home and felt very satisfied. For her, only when her children were around could she experience the warmth and happiness of home.

After Zeng Danling had rested at home for two days, Yue Hongxiu was called over by the leaders of Peking University. They kindly asked her to take a message to her parents, saying that the Peking University Library was very busy and they begged Zeng Danling to come and take up her duties as soon as possible.

During these few days, Zeng Danling has visited all the famous attractions in Kyoto. Her originally restless heart has gradually settled down and she has started to think about work.

Zeng Danling felt a little embarrassed when the leader of Peking University found her daughter and urged her to report the next morning accompanied by Yue Wenxuan.

Yue Wenxuan met with Vice President Zhou again, but they did not mention the book donation again. Instead, the topic revolved around Zeng Danling's work. This time, Vice President Zhou played the card of friendship, and his words showed his concern and care for Zeng Danling's work.

With the support of the curator Geng Wanchong and the attentive care of Vice President Zhou, Zeng Danling's performance of her duties went very smoothly and she became familiar with her job in just one or two days.

In the first few days, Geng Wanchong also did not mention the upcoming batch of donated books to Zeng Danling, but Zeng Danling showed more care and concern for Geng Wanchong at work.

The two had a lot of contact in their work, and as they gradually became familiar with each other, Geng Wanchong began to find opportunities to tell Zeng Danling about the difficulties of the Peking University Library and the severe problem of shortage of new editions of science and technology books.

Zeng Danling has always been conscientious and strict in her work. After learning about the difficulties faced by the Peking University Library, she was also very worried and took the initiative to take responsibility.

After knowing Zeng Danling's attitude, Geng Wanchong finally felt relieved and felt that the upcoming batch of the latest edition books worth half a million US dollars should be considered a safe bet. In the future, all of them will be the collection of their Peking University Library. With Zeng Danling as the deputy director, it is impossible for them to be assigned to other universities.

After this large batch of books sent from Hong Kong Island arrived at Peking University, Yue Wenxuan only showed up once and then never appeared again.

His wife was finally successfully transferred to work in Kyoto, and she was working in the Kyoto University Library, which was very close to home. She was doing her favorite job. All of this was within Yue Wenxuan's plan. Now that things were finally settled, he was relieved.

Zeng Danling's job finally stabilized, which certainly made Yue Wenxuan happy, but what made him even happier was that a telephone was finally installed at home.

For Yue Wenxuan, it is really inconvenient not to have a telephone at home.

Although he had arranged all the recent affairs of Hong Kong Island, some emergencies were inevitable. Every time such a situation occurred, the managers of Hong Kong Island had to go through a lot of trouble to contact him, which often delayed precious time and occasionally missed some important opportunities.

In other words, Yue Wenxuan only looks at the overall situation and doesn't care about these small losses, otherwise he would never tolerate this situation.

At that time, the country had not yet introduced a policy on private telephone installation. Fortunately, Yue Wenxuan himself was a retired cadre, so he was qualified to install a telephone at home.

But his work relationship has always been in Quancheng. Although he has moved to Kyoto to settle down, his relationship has not been transferred there, and it is not easy for him to apply for a home phone.

Zeng Danling was able to solve this problem after she officially joined the company. Zeng Danling is now a cadre at the 13th administrative level, which is considered to be a relatively high level. As long as the school leaders agree and support her, she is also eligible to install a telephone at home.

Yue Wenxuan took this opportunity to paint a big picture for the leaders of Peking University, saying that he would contact his friends in Hong Kong Island in a timely manner, and once new science and technology books were available on the market, he would purchase them and donate them to Peking University.

In order to facilitate him to contact his friends in Hong Kong Island in a timely manner, the main leaders of Peking University personally applied to the post office, and finally Yue Wenxuan's home phone successfully opened the international call service.

Although there are still various inconveniences during the actual call process, Yue Wenxuan is already very satisfied as long as he can get in touch with the management staff in Hong Kong Island in time and deal with some emergencies in time.

This inconvenient communication situation may continue for a long time, and Yue Wenxuan has no better solution.

Compared with Quancheng, Yue Wenxuan is more accustomed to living in Kyoto, especially Kyoto's convenient shopping environment and relatively smooth communications, which he particularly values.

After living in Kyoto for a few months, even Zeng Danling has gradually adapted to the current lifestyle.

Summer vacation was approaching and the weather was getting hotter. After dinner, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

After installing a telephone at home, the phone rarely rings at night. Most calls come during working hours.

According to past experience, calls that come in at night usually come from emergencies in Hong Kong Island.

After Yue Wenxuan picked up the phone, what he heard was not Cantonese or English, but the voice of the fourth brother Yue Hongan.
