Yan Rushan went home and told his grandfather about the contract. Old man Yan gave him a meaningful look and smiled, "You kid, only your wife can control you."
"Grandpa, you're wrong. My wife and I tolerate each other, achieve each other, and respect each other."
Old Master Yan waved his hand and said, "Come on, stop showing off in front of an old man like me. Go to work if you need to."
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. I'll be staying at the compound for the next two days. Please let Yuxiu know when she returns." Yan Rushan smiled as he handed the completed paperwork to the old man. "By the way, please give this to Yuxiu."
"Put it there." Old Master Yan pointed casually at the coffee table next to him.
Yan Rushan put down his things, told the old man to go to bed early at night and exercise more in the morning, and then left.
When Zhong Yuxiu came back in the evening, she found out that Yan Rushan had to live in the city for something; Old Man Yan handed her the contract certificate and other documents that Yan Rushan had placed on the table.
"Dashan gave it to you, keep it."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, took the things, and said, "Someone needs to keep an eye on the housing construction in Zhongguancun. Rushan hasn't been back for two days. Who is suitable to keep an eye on it?"
"Can I go?" Old Master Yan was very tempted.
"That won't do. You'd better stay at home. Go out for a walk when you have time, or chat with the old people in the village. I will take care of the Zhongguancun project myself." But I didn't dare let the old man go there. Hongxing Village is not far from Zhongguancun, but it is not close either.
She knew the old man's temper too well, and she knew that if he went, he would definitely take the children with him. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi could follow an old man with three children, but even so, she was still worried.
Old Master Yan glanced at her unhappily. "Why is it impossible? Don't look at me because I'm old, but I've been through a lot. It's just building a house! How difficult can it be?"
"The village is not as flat as the city. It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth from Hongxing Village. We are not familiar with this area. We are unfamiliar with the place. How can I be at ease when you go out without anyone accompanying you?"
The granddaughter-in-law spoke confidently, and Old Man Yan's mood improved a little. "What are you afraid of? I'm a retired old man. Who can lay a hand on me?"
"No means no."
It was true that Mr. Yan wanted to go out for a walk. He had been here for several days and had not yet left Hongxing Village.
"How about I go with you to the research institute. You go to work and I supervise. Your research institute allows families to eat, right? I'll eat with you at noon and come back with you in the evening."
Zhong Yuxiu regretted bringing up the matter of being incarcerated. "Aren't you tired? Being an overseer isn't an easy job."
"It's okay. I can still go to your research institute when I'm tired. It's settled. Otherwise, you can find someone who can supervise. At worst, I can bring my great-grandson to your research institute to play." No one can change the old man's mind.
"Hey, Grandpa, you're right; I can actually arrange for a supervisor." Zhong Yuxiu waved to Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong who had returned with her, "Comrades, come over here."
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong stepped forward and respectfully called out, "Master Yan."
"I'm not looking for you, it's Yuxiu who's looking for you." Yan Guofeng waved his hand.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "I'm the one who's looking for you. Rushan has something to do these past two days, and I'm at the research institute all day, so I won't be able to use you two for the time being. We need a supervisor on the construction site. Who's willing to watch over it for two days?"
"I'll go." Fang Guozhong raised his hand and said, "Comrade Gu will follow you. He's better at talking and more thoughtful than I am."
"Okay, then you go. Go to the kitchen and see if the food is ready. Serve it." After deciding on the person and sending him away, Zhong Yuxiu chuckled and looked at the old man. "Now you have nothing to say, right?"
"If there's no construction, there's no supervision. Can I take the kids to your research institute to play?" Yan Guofeng snorted and went to the living room.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and laughed, then followed him and put the certificate of contracting the mountain into the space; the grandfather and grandson sat down at the eight-immortal table one after another, and Zhong Yuxiu chuckled in relief.
"Grandpa, if you can't go over to supervise, you can still go to the research institute for a walk."
Yan Guofeng then opened his eyes and looked at her. "Do you really want me to go?"
"Go, go, go. Of course you have to go. Come with me this morning. Let's take the children with us, along with Aunt Wang and Aunt Gong, as well as their spare clothes, bottles, milk powder, and diapers."
As soon as Zhong Yuxiu finished speaking, Yan Guofeng's heart moved slightly, "Liji and the others have too many things, and I can't not take them all. Forget it, I'm fine staying here."
"How about not taking the child with you?" Zhong Yuxiu asked tentatively.
Yan Guofeng shook his head. "Forget it. I won't go. Your place is still undeveloped and desolate. There's no point in going there. I might as well stay in Hongxing Village."
Okay, as long as you are happy.
The older the old man gets, the bigger his heart becomes; it’s not about ambition, but childishness. The old man in the past would never play tricks or give people a cold shoulder, and he would even throw a tantrum when he was unhappy. In short, he is a child, and the older he gets, the more like a child he becomes.
"If you want to go, we can go without the children. Aunt Wang and Aunt Gong can take care of you at home, but we can't let you come back alone." How can we feel at ease when the old man goes out?
Yan Guofeng no longer had the heart to go to Zhongguancun. Zhong Yuxiu smiled and changed the subject, "Rushan has contracted a hill to raise wild game. If Grandpa has any wild game he likes, I'll ask Rushan to find a way to get some young game."
"Nothing special, just keep it casually."
Zhong Yuxiu said she understood, and after the food came, the group went out for dinner; Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi went to take care of the children and feed them milk, while Gu Lingguo, Fang Guozhong and Feng Zheng cleaned up the mess, washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, with a clear division of labor.
With Feng Zheng, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi were freed up and could take better care of the children.
"Grandpa, you take a shower first. I'll take a shower after you've finished." The children were drinking milk, gulping down their milk. It was so cute that she couldn't move.
Yan Guofeng saw all of this and nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'll wash first, you play with the kids and spend more time with them."
"Grandpa is right."
Yan Guofeng walked away with a smile and went to the kitchen to get two buckets of hot water. Gu Lingguo volunteered to take it to the small shading room at the back. Yan Guofeng took his clothes and went to take a shower. Zhong Yuxiu played with the children in the side room next to the living room.
The three little guys, Liji, Lizhen and Liming, were drinking happily from their pacifiers. Their three pairs of little paws held their respective bottles and drank milk in big gulps. They were so eager and afraid that others would touch their bottles, so they were very protective of their food.
"Children this young already know how to protect their food, fearing that others will snatch their rations." The three chubby white children looked at Zhong Yuxiu who was speaking at the same time; their eyes were innocent and naive, as if they were saying something that didn't happen.
