The lively sounds from the shop reached Bei Nan's ears. He could even hear his mother's voice and his mother's voice. His heart trembled, and without thinking, he turned and ran.
Southwest knew North South best and had long blocked North South's retreat, but he did not expect North South to be so strong. He, a carpenter who had worked for many years, was knocked to the ground. Fortunately, his clothes were thick and he was not injured, but he was in a lot of pain.
"Grandma, Mom, come out quickly, Nan Nan, help!" Southwest cried out regardless of the situation, but she held onto Bei Nan's legs tightly and wouldn't let go no matter what. Yan Xiaonan had been paying attention to the commotion outside, and as soon as she saw it, she rushed out and grabbed Bei Nan by the back of her collar. The tall and strong Bei Nan was pulled so hard that she couldn't move.
Tie Tou felt a pang of jealousy. He glanced at Ye Huixian and was glad that he had chosen a girl from the Ye family. Yan Xiaonan was too scary. This fierce Bei Nan was not as strong as his sister. This guy even had the nerve to threaten Yan Ge. He was utterly disgraced.
"Third Brother, where are you going? You still owe me an apology. Why are you trying to run away?" Yan Xiaonan asked softly.
But Bei Nan and Tie Ge were horrified when they heard this. Tie Ge even regretted it. Wasn't it better to ride horses with Mao Tou at the manor? Why did he rush here to be tortured?
"Nan Nan, I'm sorry, Third Brother was wrong. Didn't Third Brother already apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back? Let go, Third Brother definitely won't run away." Bei Nan began to beg for mercy.
Yan Xiaonan let go, and Cuihua and Grandma Yan were already standing to the side. The two stared blankly at Beinan, who was tied with wooden strips, their mouths agape in disbelief. This was Beinan, the Beinan who had been out of contact for so many years.
Bei Nan turned around and was stunned to see her incredibly young grandmother and Cuihua. This was not what she had imagined. However, she still knelt down excitedly and said, "Grandma, Mom, Bei Nan was wrong. I have come to apologize."
Grandma Yan and Cuihua burst into tears. The child had finally returned! Cuihua felt sorry for Beinan and wanted to help him up, but she was startled by a loud shout: "You little brat, you dare to come back? I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Yan Xiaoqiang saw everything clearly from the grocery store next door. At first, he was puzzled, but then he realized that Bei Nan had returned. This brat came back, but he still tried to desert. If it weren't for Nan Nan, he would have escaped.
He picked up a wooden stick from the door and started whipping Bei Nan without thinking twice. However, he was careful and aimed at the part of Bei Nan bound with wooden strips, so that he could scare Bei Nan without hurting him.
Having experienced the dangers of the world, Bei Nan knew all too well. His father's actions warmed his heart. After Yan Xiaoqiang lashed him a few times, Bei Nan turned around and hugged him tightly: "Dad, I'm unfilial for deserting my post. I have wooden sticks on me, so don't hurt your hands. Once I've taken them off, I'll let you hit me properly."
Yan Xiaoqiang was stunned and dropped the wooden stick in his hand. The father and son hugged each other tightly. Yan Xiaoqiang regretted his dislike for Bei Nan since childhood. If it weren't for that, Bei Nan would never have gone down this path.
Bei Nan also regretted his ignorance and recklessness, which harmed Nan Nan and the Yan family. Fortunately, he did not make a serious mistake, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Seeing Ye Huixian flinch, Yan Xiaonan quickly said loudly, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
Yan Xiaoqiang disagreed. A big truck had already driven over to take Bei Nan home.
So, a large group of people boarded the bus to go home. Grandma Yan and Grandma Fu sat in the front, while Ye Huixian had to go to the back of the bus. Tie Ge was overjoyed and told Ye Huixian to find a sheltered spot, while he himself acted as a windbreak, shielding Ye Huixian from all the cold wind.
Nan Nan immediately understood Tie Ge's motives. She would have a good talk with Bei Nan later. If Tie Ge was really a good person, Aunt Ye would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life. If he wasn't, she would punch him out of China.
If Tie Tou knew Nan Nan's thoughts, he would definitely be extremely grateful. He had already made a unilateral decision to marry no one but Miss Ye, even if it meant being alone for the rest of his life.
The car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house. Yan Xiaoqiang opened the gate, and Cuihua went straight to the kitchen. Chen'er and Sheng Lijuan followed her in. There were many people today, and Cuihua would definitely not be able to manage alone.
Yan Xiaonan was worried that her breasts would get cold, so she quickly went to the north room to turn on the radiator. Xiaolu happily followed behind Nannan. As soon as Beinan saw Xiaolu, she looked around and asked, "Grandma, where is my Zhongnan?"
"Zhongnan is in Mushroom Mountain, we can't bring it over." Grandma Yan also missed Zhongnan.
"Grandma, I'm going back to Mushroom Mountain in a few days to see them. It's been almost a year, and I really miss them." Yan Xiaonan thought about it and decided to go back to visit them.
Grandma Yan wanted to go too, but thinking about the train journey, she decided against it. However, she was worried about Nan Nan going back alone: "Baby, I'm worried about you going back alone."
"Grandma, I'll go back with Nan Nan," Bei Nan said, wanting to return to Mushroom Village, the place where she grew up.
"Grandma, I'm going too. Bei Nan is back this year, and I'll bring Wu Jin Ban over for a family reunion." Xin Nan also misses her son.
"Okay, bring Wu Jin and his wife over, and also your wife and teacher's wife. Southeast will come too, so you can all come back together." Grandma Yan was overjoyed; everyone was here this year.
"Nan Nan, when are we leaving?" Bei Nan asked anxiously.
Yan Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "Third brother, we're leaving in three days. A batch of clothes and daily necessities will arrive tomorrow, and we need to go to the train station to pick them up and put them on the shelves. Dad's shop also needs to have a promotion. The furniture factory's timber will arrive the day after tomorrow, and second brother will also need to be there."
Bei Nan nodded: "I'll go with you to pick up the goods tomorrow, and then I'll buy train tickets for the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
Yan Xiaonan naturally agreed, and Ye Huixian spoke up: "Nannan, isn't Yan Ge going back home for the New Year too? How about I go with you tomorrow and send a telegram to Yan Ge, asking him to order another batch of goods as soon as possible and send them all here."
"Aunt Ye, don't you need all of this in Shanghai?" Yan Xiaonan asked, puzzled.
"The goods from Shanghai should arrive in the next day or two. My second brother will come to Beijing after receiving the goods, so that batch of goods can only be sold after the New Year," Ye Huixian explained.
Yan Xiaonan understood. Her family wanted to reunite for the New Year, and so did the Ye family. This year was a true reunion, because Bei Nan had returned.
Yan Xiaoqiang dragged Bei Nan to the west wing, took out a property ownership certificate and a bankbook and handed them to him: "Bei Nan, this is a courtyard house that your uncle managed to snag with great difficulty. It's a three-courtyard house and cost 80,000 yuan. Your brother Ai Dang spent another 20,000 yuan on renovations, so you still have 1.9 million yuan left out of your 2 million."
