Yan Xiaoqiang also got up. He couldn't sleep anymore after seeing Cuihua get up, and asked Cuihua repeatedly, "Wife, where's the coat you made for me? I need to dress nicely today."
Amused, Cuihua took out a Zhongshan suit made of serge cloth, a pair of straight-leg trousers, and a pair of big leather shoes from the cabinet. With this outfit, he no longer looked like a peasant from Mushroom Village. If he wore glasses, people would think he was a scholar.
Looking at the radiant man, Cuihua felt an indescribable pride. She really had married the right person. With Nannan, this little fairy, not only had life become better, but she and Qiangzi had also become younger. Just look at her mother, how energetic she is!
Yan Daqiang, preoccupied with his own thoughts, sat in the courtyard smoking early in the morning. Seeing his younger brother's appearance, he couldn't help but nod. It's true that clothes make the man; just changing his clothes had completely transformed his demeanor.
Yan Zheng developed good habits in the army, such as getting up early to go for a run, and now he wants to be even stricter with himself.
Yan Ge tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. His uncle's family was arrogant and domineering in the north and south, honest in the southwest, and the best to him and his younger brother in the south. As for the southeast, he couldn't quite figure him out, so he tried to avoid contact with him. He just couldn't help but frown when he saw him, though he didn't know why he was frowning.
Yan Aidang was the most excited. He got along quite well with Dongnan, and besides, Dongnan and his group had come for his marriage, so he should be more proactive.
In the entire courtyard, everyone was already up except for Yan Xiaonan, who was sleeping soundly, and Xue Ying. Even the lazy Yan Erqiang was brushing his teeth and washing his face. Grandma Yan went to bed early yesterday and got up early today. Worried about waking her granddaughter, she moved very quietly, walking as if she were doing the moonwalk.
Cuihua went up to her, and just as she was about to speak, Grandma Yan quickly put her finger to her lips and shushed her: "Cuihua, keep your voice down. Nannan is still sleeping. Studying is bad for your brain. You need to sleep well."
Cuihua nodded quickly and went to help Grandma Yan. The two of them started walking in the moonwalk together. Yan Daqiang watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law silently, somewhat envious of their tacit understanding, which was a bond cultivated over decades.
After breakfast was laid out, Yan Xiaonan's biological clock woke her up. She glanced at the old-fashioned table clock; it was seven o'clock. Why was she waking up so late today? She was probably tired from transferring her supernatural powers to the milk yesterday.
Thinking that his older brothers were coming today, he quickly got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. He saw that the courtyard was full of people, so it seemed that he would be the last one there today. Just then, Xue Ying came out of her room yawning. Great, he was no longer the last one.
Yan Xiaonan noticed that her father was incredibly handsome today, almost like a completely different person. She immediately started showering him with compliments: "Oh, Dad, no wonder I'm so good-looking. It turns out I inherited your genes! Look at my face, the upper half looks like you, and the lower half looks like my mom. How lucky I am!"
Yan Xiaoqiang and Cuihua were overjoyed. Cuihua pulled up a chair for her daughter to sit down and eat, and tapped Yan Xiaonan's forehead, saying, "You're such a troublemaker. Hurry up and eat. We'll be picking up your brother later, you know?"
"Okay, Mom. Today is a day for our whole family to get together, so you have to show off your skills." Yan Xiaonan flattered Cuihua again.
“Bao’s, I want to go with you. I miss Liu Jin and Fu Bao, and Wu Jin and Duo Duo.” Grandma Yan said.
“Okay, Grandma, let’s go together. Uncle, did you manage to borrow a car?” Yan Xiaonan was always willing to help Grandma Yan.
"Beep beep," Bao Guo returned in the borrowed car, the same one that had picked up his family before. It was a Red Star minivan that could seat eight people, but there were only five of them in his family back then. With his uncle, aunt, and Bao Guo, there were exactly eight of them.
But there are eight people to pick up today, including Grandma and Nan Nan, as well as Big Brother and Ai Dang, Yan Ge and Yan Zheng. Yan Xiaoqiang is worried.
Ye Chen'er and her family arrived, bringing two bicycles with them: "Uncle, there are many of you today, so you should ride two more bicycles. If that's not possible, you can take the bus."
Yan Daqiang glanced at everyone and said, “Mother and Nannan, Qiangzi and I will take the car, and Aidang, Yan Ge, and Yan Zheng will ride bicycles. When we come back, Dongnan and Xinan can sit behind you on your bikes, and I will sit behind Aidang.”
Grandma Yan nodded, "That's a good arrangement." Cuihua ran over and handed Nannan a large basket containing some pastries she had made early that morning: "Nannan, you won't have enough to eat on the train. You can give some to Liujin and the others."
Yan Xiaonan took the basket and felt deeply that there is no one better than a mother in the world. If the profession of motherhood could be ranked, her own mother would definitely be ranked first.
The train arrived at the Beijing station on time. Along the way, Liu Jin and Wu Jinban were incredibly mischievous, reaching every corner of the train. This alarmed the train conductor, who came out to stop them and gave Dongnan and Xinan a stern lecture, hoping they would keep their children in check.
These teenagers are the hardest to deal with. They think they know everything, and what adults teach them goes in one ear and out the other. They behave for three minutes, then repeat the same tricks. Finally, when they break the toilet door and get locked out, screaming in terror, the train conductor catches them and brings them to the southeast.
The train conductor had probably seen many such unruly children. He told them to go to the station office to pay compensation when they got off the train. Dongnan's expression finally changed. In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer and slapped their buttocks hard, especially Liujin, who was the mastermind and had to be hit harder.
Southwest also wanted to hit Wu Jinban, but Southeast stopped him. Wu Jinban was timid and without Liu Jin's encouragement, he was a good boy. Liu Jin knew he had made a mistake this time, so he could only stick his butt out and let his father's thunderous palm strike down fiercely.
Xuemei felt a pang of sympathy, but she kept her lips tightly pressed together and didn't say a word. She even closed her eyes when Liujin looked at her with pleading eyes. Southeast's education was right; this child had to be given a good beating.
Six-pound buttocks hurt from the beating, but he didn't care at all. He thought, "So what if I went too far? I'll just be more careful next time." But then Southwest's words struck him like a thunderbolt, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"Big brother, I have recorded all of Liu Jin's glorious deeds along the way. I will show them to Nan Nan later. Her precious Liu Jin, the Liu Jin she writes to every month, will be shown his true appearance. I believe Nan Nan will be very happy."
After saying that, Southwest carefully put the notebook in his hand into his pocket and patted it cautiously, as if the notebook was a wad of cash.
