Ask Shao Hua and Liu Lili if they want to go. It's fine if they don't, since their child is still young and not suitable for long-distance travel.
Bei Nan's call was the first to come in: "Nan Nan, my son and Shao Hua aren't going. The little guy is only two years old, it's not suitable for him to go."
“I understand. I’ll book a ticket just for you. It’s almost Chinese New Year, so you might as well have Shaohua and the child come stay with me, and let Uncle Chen come stay with us too.”
After Bei Nan agreed, she went to make preparations. Then, Xin Nan called: "Nan Nan, Lily and I are going, and we're bringing the child too."
"Okay, Second Brother, take care of things at your factory as soon as possible. I'll call you as soon as I book my plane ticket."
Let's not ask about the Southeast region; let's just decide on one person. But since we're going back, we should ask Ma Minghua and the others if they want to go back too.
Ma Minghua knew that Nan Nan had something to do when she went back, so she quickly refused, saying that the high-end shop was doing very well and they wouldn't be going back.
So Yan Xiaonan booked eight adult tickets and two children's tickets for a flight early tomorrow morning.
Another wave of phone calls was made, and everything that needed to be prepared was done. Yan Xiaonan even called Ma Mingchun and asked him to drive to the airport in the neighboring county and bring two cars over.
Upon receiving the call, Ma Mingchun immediately made arrangements. In Mushroom Village, heavy snow had blocked the mountain passes, and all logging work had been stopped.
These past two days, the work at the logging site has been shipping out the goods. Originally, they would make three truckloads a day, and by New Year's Eve, they would have finished shipping everything.
But Nan Nan's grandfather is dying, and they need a vehicle, so at least a large truck needs to be available.
If we add two more transports today and two more tomorrow, we can free up a truck.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Fu Bao helped Xue Mei prepare breakfast early in the morning. After breakfast, they had to go to the airport.
After feeding Enming and changing her diaper, Yan Xiaonan went into the west wing and covered the two sleeping children with blankets.
This was the first time she hadn't spent Chinese New Year with her two children, so Nan Nan stuffed the red envelopes under their pillows and hung the clothes they would wear for the New Year in the most conspicuous place.
Then we went to see Grandma Yan. Grandma Yan was sitting at the dining table, having breakfast with Yan Xiaoqiang and Cuihua.
But apart from Yan Xiaoqiang, the other two couldn't eat much. Then Yan Xiaonan exuded a mountain god aura, and the three of them perked up. Nannan had arrived.
"Grandma, you have to take good care of yourself. The new clothes are in your closet. You need to wear them for the New Year, okay?"
Yan Xiaonan knew what her grandmother was thinking. As she got older, she couldn't help but feel worried when she learned that someone was going to leave.
As if by magic, Yan Xiaonan produced a large red envelope in her hand: "Here you go. This is the first time I haven't spent the New Year with Grandma, so here's a big red envelope for you."
Grandma Yan wiped away her tears: "This time, I'll spend the New Year with your maternal grandparents."
"Grandma, you can't cry, you'll ruin your eyes, and Liujin won't be happy when he comes back." Yan Xiaonan quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped away Grandma's tears.
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly, saying that Liu Jin hated herself crying the most.
"Mom, don't worry, maybe Uncle is exaggerating," Yan Xiaonan reassured Cuihua.
"Eat, how can you have the strength to serve Grandma and Grandpa if you don't eat?" Yan Xiaonan served Cuihua a bowl of porridge and a meat bun.
Cuihua nodded and slowly ate the meat bun and porridge, one bite at a time.
Then Yan Xiaonan took out the red envelopes for Ye Ren and Fu Qingping. Ye Ren smiled when he saw the big red envelopes. What goes around comes around.
After Ye Chenming finished his food in a few bites, he and his bodyguard loaded their luggage into the car and had the bodyguard drive them to the airport.
Yan Xiaonan helped Cuihua up, Ye Chenming held Enming tightly, and they got into the car with Yan Xiaoqiang and headed straight for the airport.
After a three-hour flight, followed by a three-hour truck ride, we arrived at Chenjia Village late at night.
Fortunately, after my second uncle and maternal grandparents returned, they renovated my maternal grandparents' old house, and even rebuilt it according to the style of the Yan family's old house, so they were not afraid of not having a place to stay when they returned.
Upon arriving at the airport, Southeast and North stood together, while Southwest and Liu Lili were with Bao'er, anxiously looking out the door.
Upon seeing Yan Xiaonan and the others, Ye Chenming waved and handed Enming to Yan Xiaonan before going to check in.
As the plane took off, Ma Mingchun drove his pickup truck and directed another truck, heading straight for the airport in the neighboring county.
It will probably take more than two hours to get there, and I'm not familiar with the route, so I need to bring a map and carefully navigate it.
Fortunately, Ma Mingchun wasn't directionally challenged and finally arrived at the airport before lunch. Bei Nan and the others had been waiting at the airport for more than ten minutes and ran out as soon as they saw the pickup truck.
Ma Mingchun was somewhat annoyed, realizing he was still late. He quickly handed the car over to Bei Nan, asking him to drive, and went to the truck behind.
Bei Nan looked around and saw that the pickup truck could seat five people, so she let Ye Chenming drive. Nan Nan carried the child, and Cuihua, Yan Xiaoqiang, and Xu Lili carried Bao'er and got in as well.
The men were sitting on the truck, so a little wind wouldn't bother them. Ma Mingchun was the first to jump onto the truck, pointing to a sofa inside and saying:
This is my sofa, which I specially brought up here. There are also these blankets; I'll cover myself with them when I get cold. And there's a thermos; the water inside should still be warm, I think.
Bei Nan laughed and told Dong Nan to sit in the front. A scientist can't be exposed to the cold; it would be a problem if his brain got damaged.
Southeast didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Southwest to sit in front. The truck had a lot of space, so two people could squeeze in.
Only Ma Mingchun and Bei Nan remained in the back carriage, which was exactly what they wanted. Ma Mingchun had a lot to tell Bei Nan.
Bei Nan listened carefully to the stories about Chenjia Village. Old Man Chen was getting on in years, already over eighty, which was considered a long life.
On the other hand, he was angered by his son, Dalong. Dalong had somehow learned to gamble, and not only did he lose all the money he brought back from the capital, but he also mortgaged the house.
The house deed was in the name of Old Man Chen, so those people found the old man and asked him to transfer the property.
How could Old Man Chen possibly agree to that? They didn't sell land or houses during the most difficult times, but now that things are better, they want to sell houses? That's absurd!
But how could those creditors who were pressing for repayment let Chen's father off the hook? Da Long knelt in front of Chen's father and said, "Bei Nan gave you over 100,000 yuan, but you're not willing to give me a single penny."
Old Master Chen suddenly realized that he had been tricked by outsiders after receiving news that the house mortgage was also part of a scheme.
Immediately, Old Man Chen summoned the village chief and announced in front of the entire village that he was severing ties with Da Long, and that he no longer wanted the old house, considering it the price of breaking off relations.
As for the tens of thousands of yuan that Bei Nan gave him, he gave it all to the Second Dragon, and he also left some money for the Third Dragon, whose whereabouts were unknown.
