"Can't find a wife? Having more money makes it easier to get married, right?" Yan Feng said loudly.
Yan Aidang was speechless. How could a seven-year-old say such things? What did you study at school? I'll have to check this kid's homework properly when I get home tonight.
Ye Ren laughed until tears streamed down his face. This little grandson was really quick-witted, much more so than Chen'er was when he was little. Ai Dang wasn't like this at all. Who did he take after?
“You look a lot like Liu Jin. Was Liu Jin like this when he was little?” Yan Ran said.
Oh right, Liu Jin was quite the talker when he was little. To help Duo Duo, even Tang Xiaoling was no match for him. Duo Duo can't remember anything else, but she remembers the things Liu Jin said to Tang Xiaoling.
When Liu Jin was mentioned, Grandma Yan's eyes welled up with tears. After all, he was a child who had grown up by her side since he was a child, following Nan Nan around, eating and sleeping together. Their bond was even stronger than that with Xue Mei.
"Nan Nan, when will Liu Jin come back?" Grandma Yan was a little worried, afraid that she wouldn't be able to see him one last time.
"Grandma, he should graduate this year, but he said he still needs to do some internships and do cameo roles in a few movies. He'll come back once he's more skilled," Yan Xiaonan said.
The phone rang, and Yan Xiaonan's first thought was that it was Liu Jin calling. She quickly led her grandmother to answer the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Auntie, it's me, Liu Jin. Auntie, did you give birth to a little brother for me?" Liu Jin's clear voice rang out. Yan Xiaonan loved listening to Liu Jin's voice; it was like a clear spring, incredibly soothing to the ear.
"How did you know?" Yan Xiaonan asked with a smile.
"Auntie, you're being so heartless. If I don't care about others, how could I not care about you? Oh, and I also bought a gift for my little brother, which has already been mailed back," Liu Jin said cheerfully.
"You brat, all you care about is your aunt. What about me? Do I get a gift?" Grandma Yan suddenly yelled into the phone.
The space seemed to freeze for two seconds before Liu Jin's voice came through again: "Great-Grandma, Great-Grandma, are you really my Great-Grandma? Your voice is so beautiful!"
Grandma Yan's face immediately fell: "You brat, don't try to be clever. Tell me the truth, did you buy me a gift?"
Liu Jin's voice came out: "Grandma, it's so hard to buy you a gift. I've looked and looked, but there's nothing that's worthy of you. How about I give myself to you and serve you?"
"That's great! When are you coming back to take care of me?" Grandma Yan was overjoyed; this boy hadn't been raised in vain.
"Grandma, I've taken on a movie project that will take about six months. I'll be back in six months, Grandma, you have to wait for me to come back!" Liu Jin called out again.
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly, saying she would definitely wait for you to come back.
Xuemei rushed over anxiously, and Yan Xiaonan quickly handed the microphone to her: "Son, are you alright?"
"Mom, is that you? I'm fine. How are you? How's Dad? How's Fubao? I bought a lot of things and sent them home. You can see them when they arrive," Liujin said.
"Okay, son, take good care of yourself. Don't get too cold or too hot. Come home soon, your parents are waiting for you. Phone calls are too expensive. I'm hanging up now."
With a 'click,' Xuemei hung up the phone.
Southeast and Fu Bao, who were waiting on the side, exchanged a glance, then silently turned and left. It was always like this; Xue Mei was too domineering.
Xuemei also lowered her head. Dongnan said that overseas calls are very expensive, and Liujin owes Nannan a lot of money. How can we not be frugal?
Yan Xiaonan was speechless. She had said many times that if Liu Jin were popular, this money would be nothing at all, but Xue Mei always put pressure on her and wouldn't listen to reason.
"Chenming, send some money to Liujin tomorrow so he can live more comfortably. Oh, and send some to Wujinban too," Yan Xiaonan said loudly.
Hmph, since you want to bear the pressure, I'll let you bear more. You say the more debt you have, the less you have to worry? I'll let you not worry at all.
Xuemei, holding Yan Xiaonan's hand, said with a smile, "Go ahead and fight, I don't care. You two, aunt and niece, are even closer than my son and I. I'll give you the six jin, I don't care anymore."
Hearing Xue Mei say this, Yan Xiaonan was pleased. Isn't family affection more important than money? Of course, family affection is easier to maintain if you have money, but family affection is definitely the most valuable luxury in the world.
The red lanterns in the eight-courtyard siheyuan were all lit up, and the place was bustling with activity. The New Year was just around the corner, and everyone started discussing where to spend it.
Bei Nan suggested spending the Chinese New Year at his hotel, which is his third chain hotel. He plans to open a few more chain hotels in Shanghai after the New Year.
Grandma Yan refused, for a simple reason: she didn't want to ride the elevator; that thing was terrifying.
Yan Xiaonan chuckled. She remembered how cowardly her grandmother looked in the elevator, clutching her chest and rolling her eyes as the elevator went up and down.
“Let’s go to the Beijing Club. Your grandma is used to living there, and besides, a lot of people are coming for Chinese New Year this year, including Yan Ge and the others,” Yan Xiaoqiang said.
Bei Nan nodded. If Grandma didn't agree, there was nothing he could do.
"Grandma, let's go to the club then. Let's go two days early, soak in the hot springs, take a walk, and play some cards, okay?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
"Playing cards, Nan Nan, can your grandma play cards now?" Grandma Yan missed the mahjong tiles she had just learned to play.
"Let's eat, let's play cards after we eat. I'll sit across from Grandma," Bei Nan called out quickly.
Xuemei hurriedly ran to the kitchen. She, Sheng Lijuan, and Chen'er had spent most of the day preparing.
Red and white wine are opened, pots and pans are set out, deer run around, dogs jump, and children laugh in the yard.
Fu Bao even turned on the TV, and everyone listened to the news broadcast, discussing family and national affairs in a very harmonious atmosphere.
Ye Ren waved to Ye Yushu, who quickly ran over and asked, "Grandpa, are you going to ask me about the Judge's Pen?"
Ye Ren nodded and led Yu Shu into the study: "Child, take out your judge's pen and show it to your great-grandfather."
Yu Shu's eyes darted around: "Grandpa, aren't you afraid the Judge's Pen will hurt someone again?"
Ye Ren laughed. This child was really clever and mischievous. But just from that sentence, he knew that the Judge's Pen was no longer lethal, at least not against Yu Shu.
“Little one, what hasn’t your great-grandfather seen? How could he be afraid? Take it out, great-grandfather wants to see it.”
Ye Yushu's hand touched the judge's pen: "You must behave. That is my most respected great-grandfather. You mustn't hurt him, understand?"
Feeling the judge's pen's obedience, Ye Yushu was satisfied and slowly pulled the pen from his waist.
