After a busy day, it was finally New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, Xuemei cleaned her house thoroughly and carried Fubao to the courtyard house.
In the courtyard, Cuihua, Yan Xiaonan, Liujin, and Wujinban were also diligently cleaning.
Grandma Yan also took a feather duster and wandered around Nan Nan's room, lightly sweeping the dust off the antiques.
Grandma Yan said that the value of these treasures could buy more than a dozen courtyard houses like these, so she forbids anyone from touching them.
Once, Wu Jinban, unaware of the danger, picked up a wooden bracelet and even tried to carve something on it with a knife.
Grandma Yan, with her sharp eyes, snatched it away: "My goodness, this is a Qing Dynasty sandalwood bracelet that your aunt went through so much trouble to get. How dare you ruin it?"
The family had never seen the old lady so angry before. Yan Xiaoqiang was getting anxious, and Southwest was even more flustered.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Yan Xiaoqiang asked anxiously.
"Grandma, the boy doesn't understand, I apologize to you." Southwest also quickly apologized.
"If you don't understand, don't touch it. From now on, no one is allowed to enter Nan Nan's room. You don't even ask before taking other people's things. Southwest, how are you raising your child?"
Grandma Yan examined the bracelet carefully. Luckily, she snatched it quickly before the knife was drawn.
Yan Xiaoqiang glanced at the bracelet in his mother's hand and was startled, remembering the smug look on his daughter's face when she brought the bracelet back.
"Grandma, here, take this. It'll help you stay alert and refreshed. It's an antique."
Grandma Yan initially wore the bracelet, but later, because it was nourished by the ginseng, she returned it to Nan Nan.
The faint fragrance could be smelled from this far away, which clearly indicated that it was a good product. Wu Jinban actually wanted to learn carving from it.
Southwest also knew about the bracelet, so she squatted down and asked her son, "Tell your father, who let you go to your aunt's room?"
Five-and-a-half cats were already a little terrified. They shook their heads and said in a tearful voice, "Auntie's room is always open to us, isn't it? Six-catty brother is always there too."
"After your brother Liujin goes inside, will he touch your aunt's things? Also, what does your brother Liujin like? Will he discuss it with your aunt?" Southwest asked.
After thinking for a long time, Wu Jinban shook his head and said, "Brother Liu Jin only looks at it, never touches it, and never asks Aunt for anything."
"Then why did you take it? You didn't get your aunt's permission, so why did you take it?" Southwest got angry.
“Last time I saw Mom take Aunt’s scarf, she didn’t say anything to Aunt, and Aunt didn’t get angry, so I thought…” Wu Jin’s voice trailed off.
Okay, Southwest doesn't want to talk anymore. It's the father's fault if the son is not taught properly; he is an unqualified father.
Grandma shook her head and said, "Southwest, don't always stay in the furniture factory. Your son is yours. Look, Xuemei is helping you take care of Duoduo, and your mother is helping you take care of Wujinban. You should be more mindful."
Southwest's face turned bright red and then purple. How could she have never thought of this issue before? And she hadn't paid a single penny in child support for Duoduo and Wujinban.
Southwest hurriedly asked Xuemei, "Sister-in-law, how much does it cost to pay for Duoduo's daycare? I'll pay you."
Xuemei shook her head and said, "It's not much. Duoduo and Fubao are getting along very well now, chatting and laughing together, so I don't worry about them as much."
Yan Xiaoqiang glanced at Southwest, unable to understand how the most obedient child from his childhood had become so dull. Perhaps obedient children are all rather stupid.
It's unlikely that we can drive Southwest out; Wu Jinban is still studying nearby. Let's wait until Nan Nan gets married before making any decisions.
From then on, Wu Jinban never stepped into Nan Nan's room again. Even when asked to go to Nan Nan's room to get something, he would shake his head and refuse.
Later, Wu Jinban stopped going to Grandma Yan's room because he always saw his aunt giving good things to his great-grandmother, and he was worried that she might break something.
Cuihua saw this and felt a little sorry for him. This child was too sensitive, unlike Liujin, who repeatedly made small mistakes but was carefree and lived a happier life.
Yan Xiaonan also took Liu Jin and Wu Jinban, as well as Fu Bao and Duo Duo, to the Beijing Club to play. Wu Jinban was not very outgoing, and even Duo Duo was more lively than him.
Yan Xiaonan sighed inwardly. This child was too reserved, but there was nothing she could do. She was just an aunt, not a mother.
Xuemei and Cuihua have already prepared the dishes for the ancestral worship ceremony, which is the most important event in the family every year, only this year it has been brought forward.
This year, neither Bei nor Nan were present, so the ancestral worship ceremony was rather quiet. This guy talked a lot of nonsense, which probably angered the ancestors, so they chased him away.
After the ancestral worship ceremony, everyone quickly packed their things, locked the door, and headed to the Beijing Club.
Also rushing there were the Ye family members, and even Xue Honggen and his comrades-in-arms.
Xue Honggen had a VIP card; Ye Ren bought two and gave one to him as a gift.
The other card is, of course, given to an even higher-ranking person. You should know that it's a VIP card, worth five million each.
Xue Honggen and several of his comrades arrived early in the morning. They went to the shooting range with some friends and fought fiercely.
This shooting range really does resemble a battlefield, with complex and varied terrain; you could easily get hit if you're not careful.
If the bullet hits a vital organ like the heart, it will turn red, and you'll be eliminated. If it turns blue, you can continue playing.
The group was so engrossed in playing that they didn't even want to eat lunch. It wasn't until Yan Daqiang arrived and shouted loudly through the loudspeaker that they reluctantly came out.
Xue Honggen was still as sharp as ever, his body completely free of blemishes, while the others had more or less spots on their skin.
After changing my clothes, I went to the hot springs and had a great time. When I got hungry, I asked someone to bring me some snacks and sweet drinks. When I was thirsty, I drank some beer and red wine. I felt like I was in heaven.
Grandma Yan and the others also enjoyed the hot springs, had facials and massages, changed into new clothes, and even took a nice nap in the fourth-floor lounge.
As for the six jin and a few others, they all disappeared as soon as they entered the garden. Xue Mei wasn't worried, though, as there were guards every three or five steps around the garden, so nothing would happen.
Seeing that all the children had run off in a swarm, Xiao Liujin squirmed anxiously in Ye Chen'er's arms.
Waaaaah~ I've been abandoned.
Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er exchanged a glance. Sure enough, she was just like Liu Jin, a little drama queen.
Xue Ying couldn't bear this, so she picked up the little six-pound baby and said, "Grandma's baby, don't worry, Grandma will take you to find them."
Xiao Liujin looked at Xue Ying and gave her a quick kiss, so sweet that Xue Ying's heart almost broke.
Ye Chen'er shook her head and said no more. She would let Ai Dang handle this little drama queen; she knew she couldn't do anything about it.
Yan Ai Dang received the order, hopped on his bicycle and went to the park. "Hmph, those old guys, are they any better than my precious daughter? I'm not going to keep you company."
