Grandma Yan will live a long, prosperous, healthy, and virtuous life, and she will surely have a peaceful end.
Cuihua followed along. She had both parents, children, and even grandchildren.
Ye Chen'er also contributed. Not only were her parents alive and well, but her in-laws were also healthy, and she herself had a husband, children, and a warm home.
Xuemei was sold by her parents when she was young, so she was responsible for buying groceries, cooking, taking care of the children, and managing the logistics.
Southeast and Southwest, along with several children, were putting up colorful paper decorations and red "double happiness" characters in the eight-courtyard house. Chenming had won a meritorious service and was also able to marry a beautiful bride; it was truly a double celebration.
The capital city was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, especially the Beijing Club, which was busily preparing for its boss's grand wedding.
Bei Nan, far away in Canada, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had already learned through various channels that Ye Chenming and his submarine had successfully completed its trial voyage.
He remembered clearly that Ye Chenming had said the day he succeeded would be the day he asked to marry Nan Nan.
How could he not participate in his only sister's wedding? But China had already issued him a ban on his participation. How could he break through that?
After much thought, I realized I could only rely on my uncle. He didn't ask for much; just the time he had to attend my sister's wedding would be enough.
Yan Daqiang received Bei Nan's letter and sighed inwardly. This request was indeed difficult to fulfill unless Yan Xiaonan made the request himself.
After get off work, he took the letter and headed to the courtyard house. Baoguo laughed as he drove; he just loved going to the courtyard house.
Yan Xiaonan is taking the little tiger to play at Mushroom Mountain in Beijing. She wants the little tiger to get used to its new home.
Under Yan Xiaonan's gradual and persistent efforts, Mushroom Mountain in Beijing has become thriving and is very suitable for the growth of plants and animals.
Watching the various small animals released from the space, letting them roam freely, searching for suitable burrows to live in.
Yan Xiaonan resorted to his old tricks and began to consciously raise these small animals, especially pheasants and rabbits, which have a very strong reproductive capacity.
Two adult wolves, along with several wolf cubs, started playing with the tiger cub. They all knew that this was the tiger king's cub.
Yan Xiaonan looked at the tiger cub and said, "Your father is the Tiger King, so you're the Tiger Little King, okay?"
As for the male wolf, although you can't be called the wolf king yet, you'll definitely be one in the future, so you need a name. Let's call you Dongfeng.
Dongfeng and Hu Xiaowang were overjoyed to receive their names and ran all over the mountains and fields, with the wolf cubs following closely behind.
The mountain eagle spread its enormous wings and soared among the mountains, its beak occasionally emitting cries of joy.
Watching the animals fly in the sky, run on the ground, and grow in the soil, Yan Xiaonan was immersed in the joy of these creatures.
She can clearly perceive the feelings of these plants and animals, and she is happy because of their happiness.
As the sun began to set, Yan Xiaonan reluctantly descended the mountain and rode her bicycle towards the courtyard house.
As soon as they entered, Dongnan pulled Yan Xiaonan aside, pointed to the living room, and said, "Nannan, two men have come to see you. They say they've known you since you were little."
Yan Xiaonan found it strange and her consciousness spread over, and sure enough, there were two middle-aged men sitting on the sofa.
The two men looked familiar, but Yan Xiaonan couldn't remember where she had seen them before, and she frowned.
She strode over, pushed open the door, and everyone inside looked over. Grandma Yan quickly greeted them:
"My dear child, do you still remember them?"
Yan Xiaonan sensed that her grandmother's expression was not good, and even her father next to her seemed a little embarrassed.
Shaking his head: "Grandma, who are they?"
The two men stood up in surprise when they saw Yan Xiaonan: "Nannan, you haven't forgotten us, have you? We met you when you were little, when we brought you bicycles."
"I am Zhao Weiguo, and you've forgotten my younger brother, Zhao Weimin?"
Yan Xiaonan finally understood why her grandmother and father looked so upset; it turned out to be the black market boss who used to trade grain with their family.
In those days, exchanging grain for money, or money for grain, was euphemistically called "exchanging," but frankly, it was speculation and profiteering.
Grandma and Dad certainly didn't want this dark history to be brought up again, so Yan Xiaonan wanted to know why they had come.
"What brings you here?"
"It's nothing, nothing. I just saw Uncle Yan at the general store, so I came to pay him a visit," Zhao Weiguo said.
Oh, I see. They say you can't hit a smiling face. Since they've come all this way to visit, they're a guest.
"Nan Nan, is someone in your family getting married? I see a lot of festive cheer everywhere," Zhao Weimin asked.
Yan Xiaonan smiled but did not answer: "Uncle Zhao, thank you for coming to see us. Please stay and have a simple meal with us today."
The Zhao brothers nodded repeatedly. They hadn't seen the little girl in a long time and were surprised to see how much she had grown.
Yan Daqiang and Yan Xiaonan entered the courtyard one after the other. Upon learning that guests had arrived, they quickly asked who it was.
Having learned about the backgrounds of the two men from Dongnan, Baoguo glanced at him and then turned to leave.
When Yan Xiaonan came out, he quickly pulled her into his room: "Nannan, are you familiar with these two people?"
Yan Xiaonan shook her head. It had been almost twenty years since she had seen him. She had last met him when she was two or three years old.
"Chen Ming and his team's nuclear submarine has just successfully completed its test voyage, and given your identity, we must be extremely wary of anyone who suddenly appears around us."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. This was why she was willing to let them stay for dinner: knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.
"Nan Nan, take a look at Bei Nan's letter." Yan Daqiang handed a letter to Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Xiaonan skimmed through it, finding it amusing. This third brother of hers, now he knows how to cherish family ties.
"Uncle, I'm going to write an application report. Could you please give it to Uncle Xue for me?"
Yan Daqiang nodded. He was already taking the blame for this kind of thing, so it wouldn't make a difference if he did it again.
Dinner was very lavish, but besides Yan Xiaonan, the only people accompanying the Zhao brothers were Grandma Yan and Yan Xiaoqiang.
While pouring wine for the Zhao brothers, Yan Xiaonan inquired about their current situation with concern.
Zhao Weimin looked rather unwell. He downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, his expression somewhat forlorn.
Zhao Weiguo quickly explained, "Nannan, after the black market was shut down, my brother and I have been doing odd jobs all these years, and we're still unemployed, so you see..."
Yan Xiaonan hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhao, I don't know you very well, so I can't help you. Why don't you go and do some small business?"
Zhao Weimin's face grew even uglier: "Nannan, if we had the capital to run a business, we wouldn't be going to the grocery store."
It turned out that the two were looking for work in the capital. When they saw that the grocery store was doing well, they ran in to ask the owner if he needed any help. That's when they recognized Yan Xiaoqiang.
