Chapter 273: One Down Jacket for Each Person



Old Madam Yan nodded and said, "Ms. Ning is right. If Xiao Qi can return safely, everything will be fine.

The children are grown up and have their own ideas. Let them do whatever they want to do!"

Yan Guoshu's expression relaxed and he asked Yan Yuqi, "So what are your plans for the future? What do you want to do?

Or ask your uncle to find you a proper job?"

Yan Yuqi paused, glanced at Yan Ning, and hesitantly said, "I... haven't thought about it yet..."

He was thinking about continuing to do black market business in Jilin Province.

After all, he has connections in the black markets of Chunshi, Jishi, Tongshi, Yuanshi and several small counties in Jilin Province.

As long as he has good stuff, it won't be a problem for him to develop the black markets in other cities.

But now his father wants him to find a proper job.

He doesn't want it!

Yan Ning understood Yan Yuqi's look, but ignored him and continued eating the sweet potato in his hand.

Now is not the time to talk about these things.

It is impossible to do black market business forever. After the reform and opening up, with the development of the economy, the black market will gradually disappear.

Yan Yuqi is only one year older than her. When the college entrance examination is resumed in October next year, he can continue to take the college entrance examination.

After graduating from college, you can either participate in the school's job assignment or start your own business.

However, Yan Ning estimated that Yan Yuqi would definitely choose to start his own business.

By then, Shenzhen will also start to establish a special economic zone, and that will be the time to make great strides.

Thinking of this, Yan Ning finished the last bite of sweet potato and asked, "Brother, how were your grades in high school?"

Yan Yuqi was stunned for a moment. How did the conversation turn to his academic performance?

But he still replied: "My academic performance is pretty good, what's wrong?"

Yan Ning continued to peel a baked potato, "I thought since you haven't decided what to do,

Since you are staying at home for a while, you might as well read some high school textbooks to consolidate your knowledge.

Although we don’t need to take the college entrance examination or go to university now, learning never ends.

The knowledge you learn is yours, and it might be useful someday in the future!"

Yan Guoshu felt that what Yan Ning said made sense.

"Your sister is right. You are an intellectual who has graduated from high school.

Don’t wait a few years until you’ve forgotten everything you learned in school and then no one wants you when you go looking for a job.”

Yan Yuqi nodded and said, "I see. I still have all my high school textbooks and books. I'll look through them when I'm free."

As he spoke, he used tongs to turn over the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes on the stove.

Seeing that it was almost half past eleven, Old Mrs. Yan called Song Xiuyuan to go to the kitchen to cook.

Yan Ning just remembered that today was Sunday. Why didn’t her uncle come back today?

Yan Ning thought about it and asked out loud.

Yan Guoshu said: "Your uncle has been very busy recently and hasn't been home for more than a month.

I used to squeeze out time from my busy schedule to go to Yangcheng to pick up your brother."

Yan Ning nodded.

Yan Yulin, who was standing by, saw that everyone had finished their business, so he pulled Yan Ning aside and asked curiously:

"Sister, you've been in Hong Kong for so long this time. What fun things did you do there?"

Yan Ning smiled at him and said, "I'm not going there to play, I'm going there to do serious work.

But this time I came back with gifts for everyone."

As she said this, she stood up and took the box she had prepared and opened it.

In addition to her several thick clothes, the box also contained seven down jackets bought for the Yan family.

She bought a down jacket for each member of the Yan family, but she didn't buy it herself.

Yan Ning took out the clothes that were packed separately in bags from the box and handed one to Grandpa Yan first.

Following them were Yan Guoshu, Yan Yuqi and Yan Yulin.

Mr. Yan and Yan Guoshu’s are black, and Yan Yuqi and Yan Yulin’s are dark blue.

Yan Ning called out to the kitchen, "Grandma, Second Aunt, come out and take a look at the down jackets I brought you."

"Hey...I'll be right there."

Old Mrs. Yan responded from the kitchen.

A minute later, Mrs. Yan and Song Xiuyuan came out of the kitchen.

"Oh my goodness, so many down jackets." Old Mrs. Yan said in surprise.

Yan Ning smiled and handed her a bag, "There are seven people in the family, each of us bought one.

This down jacket is warm and airtight, yet light and not too heavy."

Old Mrs. Yan took the bag curiously, opened it, and took out a light gray down jacket.

Yan Ning picked up another one and handed it to Song Xiuyuan, "Second Aunt, this one is dark red. This bright color looks good on you."

Song Xiuyuan took the bag with a smile, "I'm already old, and I'm still wearing such bright clothes. I'm afraid the villagers will laugh at me if I go out wearing them."

Yan Ning smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you are still young. This color can only be suppressed by someone of your age.

The villagers would only envy and be jealous when they saw it, and those who said it was not good-looking were just sour grapes.

Old Lady Yan also said: "That's right, those people in the village are just jealous, you don't care what they say,

As long as the clothes make you feel comfortable, that’s fine.”

There was still a black down jacket left in the box, which belonged to Yan Guodong.

"Grandma, this down jacket belongs to my uncle. Please put it in his room later!"

Old Mrs. Yan responded with a smile.

Yan Ning closed the box and put it aside, then opened the box prepared by the Ning family.

There are some dry goods and supplements and some snacks in it.

Old Lady Yan put down the clothes in her hand and said, "Oh... Ning girl, you bought so many things again.

There's still some of the shark fin and bird's nest stuff you brought back last time!"

"These were prepared by my grandmother and her family. They were originally going to prepare some New Year's goods.

But I can’t carry it all, so I only brought these.” Yan Ning said as he distributed the snacks to Yan Yuqi and Yan Yulin.

Yan Yuqi waved his hands and said, "Give it all to Xiaolin. These are for children. I don't want them."

"Really? That's great. Big brother, if you don't want it, give it all to me." Yan Yulin looked at Yan Ning with sparkling eyes.

Yan Ning handed him the rest of the snacks with a smile, "Here, here, here, they are all yours, but remember to brush your teeth before going to bed every night after you finish eating.

Otherwise, you’ll get cavities later, and when your teeth are broken, you won’t be able to grow new teeth.”

The remaining dry goods and supplements were put into the kitchen cupboard by Old Lady Yan.

Yan Guoshu, who was standing by, tried on the clothes, took them off carefully and put them into the bag.

"This down jacket is really warm. I have to save it for when I go out to do errands."

Song Xiuyuan took the bag from Yan Guoshu and took their clothes back to the room.

Then she went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Yan Ning took her luggage back to the room.

With the two suitcases this time and the three suitcases last time, there are now five suitcases piled up in her room.
