"Dashan! Find someone to make another set of small tables and stools for my great-grandchildren. It's not as convenient as it was in Hongxing Village when I came back." Maybe it's because I have lived in one place for too long, and when I suddenly moved, I felt that this place is not right and that place is not right.
Yan Rushan helped his wife wash his sons' hands and replied, "I've made a note of it. I'll ask someone to buy a set tomorrow."
"That's fine. I want good ones, and you have to check them. I won't accept any with blemishes on the edges, or they might hurt my precious grandchildren." Yan Guofeng stood up and walked towards them. "And buy them each a small quilt. It's time to replace their clothes, too."
The children's clothes fit fairly well, but children change with each passing day, growing rapidly. Some families, if able, would give their children new clothes every two months. Only the Yan family, lacking the luxury of extravagance and unconditional doting on their grandchildren, could afford to do so. Those who have endured hardship cherish what they have, because it's hard-earned, earned, and cherished with all the more.
"The clothes can wait until spring comes." Yan Rushan said so. Yan Guofeng thought it made sense and said nothing more, "That's it."
Yan Guofeng had no intention of letting his great-grandchildren spend lavishly, he just wanted them to wear clothes that fit them; Yan Rushan was even more fond of such an idea. If it was a daughter, he would really do the same, and it would not be excessive to be nice to his daughter.
Raise daughters in pampering and sons in poverty.
Only a son raised in poverty will think about his future success. A son raised in pampering is like a delicate flower kept in a greenhouse, which is not desirable!
After cleaning the children, they put them on the mattresses. The adults waited for the food to be served. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi brought the children's food and placed it on their small table one bowl at a time. After they finished eating, they put another bowl on the table. During this time, they also sat down and started to have dinner.
The whole family ate and drank their fill and sat at the table talking.
"Comrade Zhong, when do you plan to return to Hua University?" Gu Lingguo asked.
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at him, then looked down at her hand, which was held by a large hand. She said, "I'll be back after breakfast tomorrow. I haven't been back to Hua University for a long time. I'm going back to visit some of my colleagues and see my former students."
"Okay, Comrade Fang and I will arrange it in advance." Gu Lingguo said he understood and that he and Fang Guozhong would take care of the rest.
"No need to make any arrangements. I have to go back to Hua University too." Yan Rushan suddenly said, "We can go back to get our diplomas."
Gu Lingguo nodded in understanding and exchanged a glance with Fang Guozhong. "Then you guys continue chatting while we clean up the dishes."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Yan Guofeng, Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu stood up and walked away, picked up the children and sat them on the sofa in front of the mattress; they also put the children on the sofa where Yan Guofeng was and let them play by themselves.
Yan Guofeng had to divide his attention between protecting the children and asking them, "Dashan, you have to take care of the wedding properly. The situation was a bit tense a few years ago, and you were still studying. You said you didn't want a big wedding, and your parents and I didn't force you. Now that you've graduated, your studies have come to an end, and your careers are on track, you must give Yuxiu everything you deserve. Whatever others have, our Yuxiu must be given."
"Grandpa, actually..."
"Don't say it, let Dashan speak." Yan Guofeng raised his hand to stop her from finishing her words. "Whether you want it or not is your wish. Whether Dashan is willing to give it or not is Dashan's intention."
This silly child, with no elders to look after him, treats his family members sincerely; he is even more open-hearted to Dashan, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is reluctant to let such a good girl suffer any injustice.
Yan Rushan squeezed his wife's hand, then turned to his grandfather and said, "I've already had the wedding attire made. We just need to find a good date for the wedding so we can prepare the rest. I'd like to have it in late spring or early summer."
"The weather was good at that time, so it was indeed suitable."
After the old man finished speaking, Yan Rushan continued: "As a betrothal gift, I plan to put all the company shares under my name in my wife's name. In the future, she will be the boss of the company, and I will work for my wife."
"You guys can do whatever you want." The old man didn't care at all.
He had watched Yuxiu for several years and found her to be a good child. Yuxiu and her husband had a good relationship, and as an old man, he didn't want to get involved. He sincerely admired his grandson's actions; a good man wouldn't be petty, especially with his wife.
Back then, after he got married, he gave all his fortune to his wife, leaving only a small amount of money for him to use to pay favors.
"Grandpa, what do you think should be given as a betrothal gift besides company shares?" The old man has experience.
Yan Guofeng shook his head and looked at Yuxiu. "You should ask your wife about this. You should give Yuxiu what she wants."
"I don't need anything. In fact, it doesn't matter whether we have a wedding or not. It's been several years now, and everyone who should know that I'm getting married to Rushan knows about it. Who can still deny that I'm the mistress of the Yan family?"
This was true, but when it came to the wedding, neither Yan Guofeng nor Yan Rushan would listen to her.
"That's true, but we must have everything we need. This is the attitude of Rushan and I. Those people out there are a bit snobbish. You've achieved so much, so they won't say anything unpleasant in public. They'll inevitably talk about you behind your back, and you might think it's okay, but Dashan and I can't take it for granted that you'll be criticized."
Perhaps, this is what a real family is!
Over the years, she was very busy and had no time to care about those people outside; she would not deliberately investigate the rumors about herself. She really didn't think about it, and at the same time, she didn't take the opinions of outsiders seriously.
"Then keep it simple. I don't like things to be complicated."
"Look at the mountains."
Zhong Yuxiu:.......That’s not what you said just now.
Yan Rushan raised his lips and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Yan Guofeng ignored him and instead hugged his three great-grandchildren and asked them, "Do you want to go to bed?"
"Jiajia." Li Ji repeated.
Liming and Lizhen touched the little chubby face and said, "No, chew it."
The result of slurred speech is that their words are not clear, but their meaning is very clear.
"Don't you want to go out and play?"
"Let's play." Li Zhen flapped his hands to show that he wanted to play.
Li Ming pointed at the gate and said, "Go, play."
"No." Li Ji uttered two words at a time, and they were very clear and distinct, which made Yan Guofeng very happy; his great-grandson who could speak two words had made another progress, and the old man was very pleased.
"Go." Li Ming pulled his elder brother with one hand, and pointed outside with the other hand, "Go, go, play!"
Lizhen looked at this, then looked at that, and suddenly pounced on his second brother and yelled, "Play, play..."
"Let's go." The situation happened too quickly, and before Yan Guofeng could react, Li Ming had already reached out to lift up his younger brother; the three little kids were all very strong, and when Li Ming tried to lift up Li Zhen, Li Zhen reached out and grabbed his hand, refusing to let go.
