Yan Xiaonan glanced at the contract, and the words "Mushroom Mountain Contract" on the cover startled him so much that he didn't know what to say. He quickly opened the contract, and the first page had Yan Xiaonan's name on it.
Yan Xiaonan had completely forgotten about the trick he was going to show off. He sat down and slowly looked at the thin contract, his feelings were incredibly complicated. Mushroom Mountain was a treasure trove. Not only did it contain the jewelry and gold that he hadn't taken yet, but it also contained Tiger King and Zhongnan, who had grown up with him since childhood. Zhongzi was also on it. He wondered how they were doing now.
A feeling of longing welled up within her. Perhaps she should go back for the Spring Festival this year to see how they are doing and take out all these gold and silver items. Seeing her granddaughter's sad expression, Grandma Yan hurriedly ran over: "My dear, what did Bei Nan give you? You're about to burst into tears!"
"Grandma, how about we go back to Mushroom Village for Chinese New Year this year? I miss Zhongnan." Yan Xiaonan hugged Grandma Yan tightly.
Grandma Yan really wanted to go back and take a look, but then she thought about how many stalls her daughter still had set up, and that going back and forth would take too much time. She suggested that they all go together next year when she went back to Southwest China for her exams.
“My dear baby, how about we go back next year? Your second brother will be taking the college entrance exam next year, and he’ll be bringing his wife and kids up here. We can lend a hand.”
Yan Xiaonan nodded. Grandma was the head of the family, so she should listen to her: "Grandma, Third Brother contracted Mushroom Mountain. He originally wanted to buy it and give it to me, but the village wouldn't allow it, so he had to contract it. He contracted it for thirty years."
Grandma Yan felt a pang of sadness. Whether it was buying or leasing, Mushroom Mountain was so big, it must have cost a lot of money. Just now, she heard Mao Tou trying his best to play the victim, without mentioning making money at all. But she knew her own grandson. Bei Nan's money was definitely earned with his life.
He was willing to risk his life to buy his sister a mountain, and this act of gratitude was truly heartfelt: "Hey kid, go back and tell Bei Nan that I haven't given him a good spanking in a long time. Tell him to get ready, and as soon as he gets back, he'll give me a good beating."
Mao Tou blinked hard, drying the tears that welled up instantly. He composed himself and said cheerfully, "Grandma, two slaps aren't enough. Give him ten or eight slaps so he'll remember this lesson."
Grandma Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yan Xiaonan continued looking at the contract. It was 100,000 yuan a year, which would be 3 million yuan over 30 years. "Third Brother is such a spendthrift. Mushroom Mountain is so dangerous, who would dare to go in? What's the point of contracting it? It's such a waste of money."
And Bei Nan didn't hesitate to take out so much money, but he's not coming back this time. He's probably injured. My third brother has suffered so much over the years. The world outside is too dangerous. I hope he can return home soon.
The sound of a bicycle bell came from outside the door. Everyone turned to look and saw that Ai Dang had returned. Ai Dang was a little wary when he saw two strangers in the yard.
Yan Xiaoqiang quickly introduced them, saying that these two were Bei Nan's friends who had come to deliver something to Nan Nan.
Upon hearing that he was Bei Nan's friend, Yan Aidang's tone became enthusiastic. He had heard his father say that Bei Nan was the wildest and most unruly member of the Yan family. Looking at his friends, especially the one with the big turban, he had a fierce aura about him, probably accumulated from years of fighting and brawling. He was probably the same type of person as Bei Nan.
Since they knew her uncle and grandmother, they probably weren't bad people. With that in mind, Yan Ai Dang even went over and joined their conversation.
When he heard that Bei Nan had contracted Mushroom Mountain, he jumped up with joy: "Nan Nan, why don't we find a way to set up a transport team? There's so much timber in Mushroom Mountain."
Yan Xiaonan shook her head seriously: "Brother Ai Dang, Mushroom Mountain is my life, and I will not let anyone destroy a single plant or tree inside."
Grandma Yan, Yan Xiaoqiang, and Cuihua all nodded at the same time. Zhongnan, Zhongzi, and Tiger King are all at Mushroom Mountain. How can we let you go and cause trouble?
Yan Aidang felt inexplicably moved as he looked at the identical expressions on the faces of the four family members, but he was also puzzled. The furniture factory needed timber the most, and they clearly had a treasure mountain, so why didn't they go and get it?
Ye Chen'er understood Yan Xiaonan's intentions and reminded him, "Aidang, there are many animals in Mushroom Mountain. If we cut down the trees, it will damage the environment. What will happen to those small animals?"
Yan Aidang finally remembered the time he went into the mountains with Yan Xiaonan, Chen'er, and the others for a barbecue in the freezing cold. He quickly stood up and apologized, "Nannan, Brother Aidang was wrong. I was blinded by greed. I'm sorry. Please forgive me for what I just said."
Yan Xiaoqiang was confused. What did they mean by "let go"? He was about to ask when Cuihua kicked him, which revealed the answer. This Ai Dang guy speaks in a pretentious way, always hiding half of what he means. He's not manly at all.
Yan Xiaonan then smiled and nodded sweetly to Yan Aidang: "We cannot destroy the ecological environment, otherwise we will be eating the food of our ancestors and cutting off the path of our descendants. We cannot do such a thing. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility."
"That's so well said," Mao Tou looked at Yan Xiaonan in surprise. "She's only eighteen, how can she know so much? You know, in Vancouver, you can't just cut down any tree or blade of grass. Otherwise, you'll be fined. Bei Nan's sister is really amazing. No wonder she was able to get into Peking University."
Ah Long, however, was thinking about Ah Tie. Seeing that he had said what he needed to say and done what he needed to do, and that it was almost time to leave, he got up to say goodbye: "Thank you for your hospitality, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt. We have some things to do, so we'll take our leave now. We'll see you again when we have the chance."
How could Yan Xiaoqiang let them go? They came from so far away; how could they leave without eating?
“Uncle Yan, there’s no need to be so polite. We have a friend out there, and it wouldn’t be good for him to eat here. Besides, I’m going to Huacheng in a couple of days, so I won’t stay any longer,” Ah Long explained.
Yan Xiaoqiang was startled: "You're going to Huacheng? Could it be that you also want to buy goods to do business? What kind of business?"
“Uncle Yan, my brother and his friend opened a restaurant in Huacheng. They are all going back to Vancouver, so I’m going to manage the restaurant,” Ah Long told the truth.
"Is that restaurant called Rich Man's Restaurant? I've been there before!" Yan Xiaoqiang exclaimed excitedly.
Mao Tou patted his head: "Uncle, you're right, it's the Rich Man's Restaurant. I forgot to tell you, this restaurant has four owners, and your Bei Nan owns a quarter of the shares. You can ask my brother for help next time you go."
What! ! !
Everyone in the courtyard was astonished. This Bei Nan had actually partnered with someone to run a restaurant. What a brat!
