Time flies, it seems like just a blink of an eye, and more than ten years have passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was 2008.
Because of the Olympic Games, the capital was very bustling that year.
It was just summer, and there was still some time before the opening of the Olympics, but the outside was already bustling with people everywhere.
Xiaoyi and Ye Yan had grabbed tickets for the Olympic opening ceremony, so they took a rare long vacation and came back with their son Yangyang to spend the summer vacation.
Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law had returned home, Nan Xi and her husband Su Yan also moved back with their daughter Yuanyuan.
The house suddenly became lively.
The family had not been together like this for many, many years. With their children and grandchildren around them, Cheng Liyan and Shen Yuyao were very happy and their mood became very good.
Yangyang and Yuanyuan are cousins who are one year apart in age, one is nine years old and the other is eight years old.
Although they are cousins, the two children don't actually meet each other very often, and they were a little unfamiliar with each other at the beginning.
Especially Yangyang, probably because he was in an unfamiliar environment, he felt embarrassed and just sat next to his mother, unwilling to move.
Cheng Liyan has been decisive all his life, so how could he have tolerated his grandson being so hesitant?
He took the two children and went out.
I don't know what he took the little ones out for, but they ran for most of the day.
When they came back, their faces were sunburned, their heads and faces were covered in sweat, and their clothes were wet.
But they became much more familiar with each other and started chattering non-stop.
Shen Yuyao, who was listening nearby, realized that the old man had actually sent the two kids to the neighborhood committee and asked them to follow the aunts and grandmothers there to promote the Olympic spirit door to door.
Shen Yuyao was speechless for a while, but seeing the smug look on her old man's face, she smiled and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Mom, have you considered what I told you on the phone a while ago?
Before we came back this time, Manager Zheng made a special trip to your home, still hoping to invite you to hold an art exhibition in Shanghai.
I think they are very sincere.”
Seeing that Shen Yuyao was in a good mood, Ye Yan moved a stool and sat next to her and said.
Xiaoyi and Ye Yan did not live in that house after they got married. In their words, the house was too big.
I am so tired when I get home after a day's work that I have no energy to clean the bathroom.
As for hiring someone - given their status, it is not appropriate.
So later they simply rented out the house to a returnee from overseas, who opened a gallery there.
That overseas returnee was quite capable. Over the years, he turned that gallery into a landmark in Shanghai, making it very popular and famous.
Two years ago, one of Shen Yuyao's paintings was sent abroad by the school for exhibition, and it eventually won an international award.
She didn't know what to do, but this incident was reported by several newspapers, making her the talk of the town for a while.
At that time, the gallery contacted Ye Yan and Shen Yuyao, hoping that she would hold an art exhibition.
He said that as long as she produced the work, the other party would take care of everything else and she didn't have to worry about anything.
But at that time, Shen Yuyao was troubled by the messy things that came one after another, so she refused immediately after hearing it.
During this period, the other party mentioned it twice again with a very humble attitude.
Thinking about the relationship between the other party, Xiaoyi and Ye Yan, Shen Yuyao couldn't refuse when her daughter-in-law mentioned it again.
I just agreed.
Hearing her mother-in-law's agreement, Ye Yan was very happy and immediately shouted, "Yangyang, your grandmother has agreed to hold an art exhibition in Hai City. She can go back to Hai City with us later!"
Hearing that his grandma was also going back to Hai City, Yangyang jumped up with joy!
He didn't even bother watching the cartoon "Cat and Mouse" and ran towards this side cheering.
"Grandma, Grandma, I want to go too! I want to go to the sea city with you!"
Yuanyuan heard the noise and followed out, shouting loudly as she ran.
"What mirage? Who wants a mirage?" Nan Xi heard her daughter's loud voice as she entered the door and couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, my grandma is going to hold an art exhibition in Shanghai! Let's go together later." Seeing her mother coming back, Yuanyuan immediately turned around and said to Nanxi.
"We don't know how far away it is yet. It's too early to say now." Shen Yuyao helplessly touched the heads of her eldest grandson and granddaughter who came over.
"It's not far. I'll call Manager Zheng right now, and he'll definitely arrange it for us as soon as possible.
I told him I wanted to open it during the summer vacation, and he'll definitely agree," Ye Yan said quickly.
After saying that, she got up and went into the house to make a phone call.
