Grandma Yan's face darkened: "Young man, Bei Nan is willing to open a restaurant in Huacheng, but he won't even come to see us?"
Mao Tou waved his hands repeatedly: "Grandma, no, Bei Nan has never been to this restaurant since it opened. He just doesn't dare to come back."
Hearing Maotou say that, Grandma Yan's face brightened slightly; that was more like it.
“Why don’t you stay for dinner? Where is your friend? I’ll go and pick him up,” Yan Aidang asked.
Mao Tou smiled gratefully at Yan Aidang and told him the name of the guesthouse. Yan Aidang knew exactly where it was as soon as he heard it, pushed his bicycle and went out. Since Atie was coming over later, Along was no longer in a hurry.
"Uncle, why don't you open a restaurant in the capital? I'll get Bei Nan to invest," Mao Tou suggested.
Yan Xiaoqiang was stunned. A restaurant! He quickly looked at Yan Xiaonan. Yan Xiaonan agreed in her heart, but if Bei Nan didn't come back, who would manage the restaurant? A restaurant is not like a clothing store; there are many troublesome things to deal with.
"Brother Maotou, could you talk to my third brother? Now is the best time to invest in a restaurant, but he has to come back and manage it himself. We don't have time to help him." Yan Xiaonan rejected Maotou's suggestion.
Mao Tou's eyes lit up. His hometown was here, and if he could invest here, that would be the best thing. It seemed he would have to talk to Bei Nan about it when he got back. Oh, and it would be best to have Yan Xiao Nan write him a letter.
“Nan Nan, could you write a letter to Bei Nan? He’s going through a difficult time, and if he can’t get over it, he probably won’t come back,” Mao Tou pleaded.
Yan Xiaonan nodded and went back to his room to write a letter. This letter was a bit difficult to write. He decided to describe the current excellent situation and how his parents and grandmother missed him. He should go home and visit them when he had time, especially his grandmother, who was already over seventy years old.
After handing the letter to Maotou, Yan Aidang led Tiege to the courtyard. Tiege greeted everyone without any hesitation and then smoothly went to the kitchen to get food for Cuihua.
Mao Tou was impressed by his performance. This Tie Ge is amazing! He'll do anything for a free meal. It's all my fault. When I'm not happy with the food, I say that this stuff tastes like pig swill and is nowhere near as good as what Bei Nan's mom makes. I guess I've said it too many times and Tie Ge has remembered it.
This meal was so delicious that not only did Maotou eat his fill, but even the reserved Tiege and his proud cousin praised it highly. Tiege even had the urge to settle down here.
Yan Xiaonan rolled her eyes. They say life is like a play, all about acting. These people are going too far. They're even more shameless than Liu Jin.
After all, they were all ruthless people who had seen the world. When they saw Nan Nan roll her eyes, they knew that the little girl had seen through them. Their old faces turned red, and they got up to say goodbye without prior arrangement. Before leaving, Mao Tou handed a savings book with two million to Grandma Yan: "Bei Nan asked me to bring this to you. You must accept it."
Grandma Yan opened the passbook and glanced at it. There was a two followed by countless zeros. Grandma Yan couldn't count numbers over a thousand. She handed the passbook to Yan Xiaonan and said, "My dear, look at how much money is in it. I can't understand it."
Yan Xiaonan glanced at it and said to Grandma Yan, "Grandma, I'll tell you later."
Grandma Yan nodded. With so many people around, it wasn't appropriate to say it so casually. Everyone says you shouldn't flaunt your wealth, how could I forget that? Luckily, my little darling is smart.
Yan Aidang volunteered to see them off, and Chen'er and Sheng Lijuan also quickly said goodbye. Xinan was very happy to learn that Beinan was doing well, but she also cleverly told her grandmother and parents that she was going to the factory to check on things and wouldn't be back that night.
Watching the crowd leave quickly, Yan Xiaoqiang felt a little unsatisfied. Cuihua glared at him and told him to clean up the table, or it would attract flies tomorrow. Yan Xiaoqiang quickly rolled up his sleeves and got to work. His daughter had said that he would never get rich if he didn't listen to his wife.
Yan Xiaonan closed the door and let his consciousness spread out. Sure enough, at the intersection, several people greeted each other and went their separate ways, quickly leaving.
Yan Xiaonan pulled her grandmother into the north room and said cautiously, "Grandma, don't worry about what I'm about to tell you, the number is huge, so huge that it surprises me."
Grandma Yan perked up: "Tell me, how much?"
Two million.
"Oh, two million, how many thousand yuan is that?" Grandma Yan asked confidently.
“Grandma, there are two thousand 1000-yuan notes.” Yan Xiaonan counted on her fingers.
"Two thousand 1,000 yuan a day, that's a lot of money! Where did this brat get so much money? He must have gone to the black market again. When he gets back, I'll give him a good spanking!" Grandma Yan said viciously.
Yan Xiaonan handed the bankbook to Grandma Yan: "Grandma, don't hit him anymore. He was already too scared to come back. If you hit him, he'll be even more afraid to come back. Over the years, Third Brother must have suffered a lot outside, otherwise he would never have earned so much money."
“Baby, it’s safe to keep the savings book with you. Also, have Ai Dang get Bei Nan a courtyard house too, so he’ll have a place to stay when he comes back. We don’t need to use the rest of the money; it’s all hard-earned money, how can we spend it carelessly?”
Yan Xiaonan glanced at the passbook again. The statement was in Yan Xiaonan's name. She guessed that the little boy didn't know his grandmother's name, so he wrote his own. "Okay, let's get a three-courtyard house for Third Brother. He has a lot of friends here, so the place definitely needs to be big."
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly, glancing at Yan Xiaoqiang and Cuihua: "What do you think?"
Yan Xiaoqiang nodded. They weren't fools. They knew where all that money came from. Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they could guess. How could they bear to spend such hard-earned money?
Yan Xiaonan was very happy to have such good parents and grandmother. Faced with such a large sum of money, they had no greed in their eyes, only heartache for their youngest son and consideration for his future.
Ai Dang was frustrated. How come all the children in his uncle's family are so successful? Even though they live far away in Bei Nan, they still want to buy a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). He thought he should go home and have a good talk with his father, or maybe they could pool some money to build a siheyuan as well.
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because this brought out Yan Daqiang's temper. He glared at him and cursed fiercely, "You little brat, you even want to scrape together money to build a courtyard house? Nan Nan's courtyard house was bought by Nan Nan herself, and Bei Nan also paid for her own courtyard house. You want to build a courtyard house but don't try to do it yourself. Instead, you come here to sponge off my savings for my funeral. Do you have any shame?"
Xue Ying also disapproved, saying, "Your wife already received a two-courtyard house as a dowry. Are you still trying to bite off more than you can chew? People should know when to be content. Greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, you know? I really can't stand people like you."
