"Nan Nan, I'll be staying here for the next couple of days and won't be going back. The car is parked at the door, so you can use it yourself tomorrow." Yan Daqiang handed the car keys to Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Xiaonan took the keys and put them in her pocket. It was a pity that she wasn't free to buy a car yet, otherwise she could buy a small car and take her grandma out for a trip.
"Auntie, can you take me with you tomorrow? I want to go play with you too," Liu Jin said.
“Your aunt has important business to attend to tomorrow, and you, as a child, cannot go. Otherwise, you will disturb her work,” Yan Daqiang refused outright.
Liu Jin nodded obediently. His aunt had secrets. He had grown up by her side since he was little, and nothing could be hidden from his eyes. His parents had once tentatively asked him if he had noticed that his aunt was different from others, and he resolutely shook his head. His aunt was the fairy in his heart, and he would never betray her even if he died.
Yan Xiaonan patted Liu Jin's head: "Liu Jin, study hard and practice your skills. Only by enduring hardship can you rise above others. You will surely become famous in the world in the future."
Liu Jin nodded repeatedly, knowing that listening to his aunt would definitely not be wrong.
"Auntie, Wu Jin wrote me a letter. They're about to have a holiday, and he wants to come here to see me, and also to see Great-Grandma and Grandpa." Liu Jin took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Xiaonan opened the letter and began to read it. Wu Jinban's handwriting was crooked and messy, but it was clear at a glance that he had written it very carefully. He even marked the words he didn't know how to write with pinyin. This child must be living a very lonely life.
"I have no objection. You can ask your great-grandmother and grandparents, and you must also find out Uncle Southwest's opinion." Yan Xiaonan really had no objection. It's just a child coming for summer vacation, nothing special.
"Oh, I received letters from both the Southwest and Southeast. I left them in your room," Yan Xiaoqiang remembered.
Yan Xiaonan put down her chopsticks and walked quickly to her room. Sure enough, there were four or five letters on the table. She picked them up and saw that one was from the southeast, one from the southwest, and three from Ye Chenming.
Yan Xiaonan first opened the letter from Southwest. Southwest's handwriting was a bit messy, but fortunately it was still legible. After reading the letter word by word, Yan Xiaonan felt a little heavy-hearted. It turned out that Tang Xiaoling had been fired. The furniture factory was not doing well, and a lot of furniture was piled up and could not be sold. The factory had already stopped production.
Southwest is still working at the factory, but besides his fixed salary, he receives no bonuses or benefits each month.
Fortunately, there is still rice, flour and coarse grain left by the milk at home. Southeast also said that he doesn't need this rice and flour and will leave it to Southwest, so there is no problem with eating. Also, the milk and parents' household registration is still in Mushroom Village. Southwest and Tang Xiaoling usually do spring planting and autumn harvesting, and they will also have work points at the end of this year.
Next year, Mushroom Village will implement a land management right and ownership right system. The ownership will still belong to Mushroom Village, but the management right will belong to the owner. Tang Jianjun was the first to sign up and signed the management right for five mu of land.
After discussing it with Tang Xiaoling, Southwest also signed a contract for the management rights of two mu of land. Two mu is a bit small, but Southwest is the only able-bodied man in the family now, and he has to go to get off work every day. In addition to the vegetable garden in her own yard, Tang Xiaoling also has to take care of two children, so she really doesn't have the energy to sign more contracts.
The letter also mentioned that Wu Jinban wanted to spend his summer vacation in Beijing. Wu Jinban is still too young now. When he grows up, he can take the train to Beijing by himself, which will save the adults the cost of train tickets.
The letter also emphasized Zhongnan and Zhongzi at the end. As soon as Southwest got home, he took some time to go up the mountain. Zhongnan and Zhongzi were in good health, and the big guy was also fine. They were very excited to see him, especially Zhongnan, who kept chattering away until he told them that Nannan was doing very well, and then they quieted down.
After putting down the letter from the Southwest, Yan Xiaonan picked up the letter from the Southeast. The Southeast's letter made Yan Xiaonan feel much better. After they returned this time, they bought the house near the school for a full 750 yuan, saving 50 yuan compared to the original 800 yuan.
However, Xuemei still spent the fifty yuan on the house. Furniture needed to be made, shelves needed to be installed, and some daily necessities needed to be purchased. In the end, the house really cost a little over eight hundred yuan.
But Xuemei believed Yan Xiaonan's words. Nannan had said that if you have money, buy more houses, because houses will be astronomically expensive in the future.
Although the family had spent all their savings, the couple was in a very good mood. Liu Jin was already able to support himself, and Fu Bao was still young, so it wouldn't cost them much.
Now, besides giving her mother five yuan a month for retirement and buying some nutritional supplements for her grandmother, Xuemei is saving all her money like crazy. Once she has enough money to buy supplies, she estimates she can open a shop and start a business.
Southeast has already started writing his thesis. If all goes well, a year-end performance review and salary increase are still possible.
Opening Ye Chenming's letter, Yan Xiaonan's heart was filled with sweetness. In addition to the usual greetings, the letter was filled with his longing for Yan Xiaonan and his vision for the future.
Yan Xiaonan never knew that Ye Chenming could be so sentimental. What was most unacceptable was that she actually fell for it. No wonder her grandmother always said that daughters are hard to keep at home once they grow up, and that keeping them at home only leads to enmity.
However, Ye Chenming also made it clear in his words that if the Yan family refused to release him, he would voluntarily marry into the Yan family. After all, the three-courtyard house was registered under Yan Xiaonan's name, and Yan Xiaonan's grandmother and parents could move in legitimately.
Yan Xiaonan came out with the letters from the southwest and southeast. She knew her parents were waiting for her to tell them about their two sons.
Yan Xiaonan first recounted the story of buying a house in the southeast, which made Grandma Yan and Cuihua beam with joy. Xuemei was truly a capable housekeeper; she could make such a decisive purchase of such an expensive house.
When the topic of Southwest China came up, Yan Xiaonan mentioned land management rights. Yan Xiaoqiang took this topic seriously and immediately asked about it. When he learned that Southwest China had only signed management rights for two mu of land, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. His son was too honest.
But the agreement has already been signed, and Mushroom Village only has so much land; there's no chance to back out now.
The meal was rather somber. Yan Xiaoqiang took out a bottle of wine and shared it with Yan Daqiang. Yan Xiaonan, knowing her father's thoughts, pretended to be angry and said, "Dad, didn't you say you were going to live with your youngest daughter? Now you've changed your mind and want to live with your second brother?"
Yan Xiaoqiang was stunned. Right, what was he worrying about? His daughter was here, living in the courtyard house, attending university, and had been given a government job. Every month, she received a school subsidy and military benefits. What was he worried about? As for the Southwest, he didn't care. He already had two sons. If he still couldn't figure out his future, there was nothing he could do.
