Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1228 Party
When they met acquaintances in the alley, they greeted each other. Jiang Yan and Xinxin responded enthusiastically. This was the good thing about living in the alley: it was full of human touch and much better than those cold buildings.

When they reached the yard gate, Xinxin broke free from Jiang Yan's hand and immediately jumped into the yard. She saw her mother.

"mom!"

"Hey! Xinxin, are you being good with your grandparents over there?"

"Good boy, Xinxin is the best!"

"Well, good! Just be good! Let mommy see that our Xinxin has grown taller!"

"Of course, grandpa said that I will be going to kindergarten soon. I am almost grown up!" Deng Zirui picked up Xinxin and said,

"Really? Our Xinxin is growing up and will be a big kid in the future. She is also very well behaved and sensible! Grandpa and grandma will need you to take care of them in the future." Jiang Zihan spoke from the side.

"Don't worry! Dad, I will take good care of grandpa and grandma in the future." Jiang Xinxin tried hard to act like an adult and promised her father.

"Deng Zirui, take Xinxin with you first. Your uncle and aunt He will bring Hutou to dinner later. Our two families will eat together tonight."

Hutou is the grandson of He Yuzhu's eldest son He Xiao. His full name is He Shuheng. He looks very cute with a tiger-like appearance. He is only one year older than Xinxin.

"Dad, I heard that Uncle Shitou, Uncle Liuzi, and Uncle Damao have also moved here. Aren't we going to invite them?" Jiang Zihan asked.

"Their company's affairs have not been handed over yet. They will be back in a few days." Jiang Yan said casually.

After He Yuzhu arrived, he started to get busy in the kitchen. He first cut the ribs, then washed them and stewed them in a casserole so that they could be cooked longer.

Then start cutting vegetables and chopping meat, and make the lion head first, which is more troublesome.

After Jiang Sirui came back, he brought his son and started to direct people to bring the purchased drinks and other things to the store. In the yard, only Deng Zirui was watching the two children playing games, while Jiang Yan was helping in the kitchen.

Dinner is simple, with 6 dishes in total and a steamed pot of rice, just right.

After dinner in the evening, Xinxin followed Deng Zirui and his wife away.

The couple took two days off just to play with Xinxin.

Jiang Yan and He Yuzhu were making tea and sitting in the yard where they planted cherry trees, grape vines, and plum blossoms. The two old ladies were also discussing adding some other flowers for decoration and planting some green plants.

There was nothing to do during the past two days, and Jiang Yan felt that he had spent little time at home in recent years, which made him feel sorry for his wife. So he took advantage of these two days to go out with her. They went to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and finally, climbed the Great Wall together.

I have been to the Great Wall several times, but I always feel different every time I come up.

There is no so-called tourism boom at this time. Although there are not many people, there are still quite a few.

On the Great Wall, Jiang Yan discovered that some people were buying water and drinks, some were carving words on bricks, and some had their long hair permed to do performance art.

A group of young people were screaming in a flashy way, and the rock they were pursuing was nothing more than heavy metal. Jiang Yan knew a little bit about it, and he also wanted to give it a try, but he was too old to do it anymore.

This is undoubtedly a pity.

When they got home, the eldest brother's family had not returned yet, so Jiang Yan and Jiang Sirui prepared to enjoy this rare time alone.

But he lived a rather bourgeois life. There was a record player under the grapevines in the yard. The record player was playing Jacky Cheung's songs. There were some snacks on the table. Jiang Yan was grinding coffee beans. These coffee beans were real Blue Mountain coffee.

“Sitting back to back on the carpet, listening to music and talking about wishes;
"You hope I will become more and more gentle, and I hope you will keep me in your heart..."

Jiang Yan was grinding coffee while humming a song. Jiang Sirui was listening to Jacky Cheung's songs at first, but when he heard Jiang Yan singing, he turned off the record player and listened to Jiang Yan singing quietly.

As she listened, she became a little dazed, and the look she gave Jiang Yan was quite gentle.

"Lao Jiang, whose song is this? It's quite nice." Jiang Sirui spoke after taking the coffee prepared by Jiang Yan.

"I named this song "The Most Romantic Thing" by myself. It sounds nice, right?" Jiang Yan shamelessly took the credit for writing the lyrics and composing the music. Anyway, there was no such song in those days. There was nothing wrong with him saying this.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Yan made two cups of coffee for Jiang Yan, then took out the imported DVD player bought from Hong Kong, and put a comedy movie by Stephen Chow on it. The two of them started watching it with great interest.

In the 1990s, VCRs were still popular in mainland China, but DVD players already existed, they were just more expensive. However, these were no big deal for Jiang Yan.

In the evening, the eldest couple came back with their precious granddaughter. Jiang Yan didn't want to cook, so he called the Food for Heaven headquarters and ordered a table of food to be delivered. The family had a lively meal under the grapevines.

The next morning, the couple left home while their daughter was asleep. There was no other way. They were all working in a confidential scientific research unit. Jiang Yan had obtained a lot of good things from Maozi and Xiaowu recently. He had to hurry up and absorb them. Therefore, scientific researchers across the country were busy now.

"Grandpa, Mom and Dad are missing." When Xinxin woke up, she did not see her parents but saw Jiang Yan sitting beside the bed.

"They all go to work. Xinxin, be good. Now that mom and dad are gone, only Xinxin can take care of grandpa and grandma." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Well, Grandpa, I will definitely take good care of Grandpa and Grandma for Mom and Dad." Xinxin said with a serious face, and she looked as serious as she could be. Seeing this little look, Jiang Yan's heart melted.

He invited his precious granddaughter to eat, and after dinner he took her to the shop where he was cleaning up to ask her for help.

"Boss, boss!" Xu Damao came back and went straight to the yard.

"Everything has been handled." Jiang Yan looked at Xu Damao and asked.

"Everything has been taken care of. I have handed the company over to my eldest son. Lou Xiao'e has also come back with me, and I have also brought my precious granddaughter Yueyue back with me. After the house is tidied, I will bring them to your yard to play."

"Okay then, let Zhuzi come over to cook at noon, and the three of us can have a good reunion. Hutou is here too, so it's a good time for a few kids to get together too." Jiang Yan spoke immediately.

"That's great. Hutou is the eldest. He has been strong since he was young. And when Zhuangzhuang from Shitou's family and Chaochao from Liuzi's family come, we have to educate them. These three little guys will protect our precious granddaughter in the kindergarten."

The grandson of Shitou’s family is nicknamed Zhuangzhuang, and his real name is Zhang Bohan. Maybe he eats better, so he looks like a little fat boy. The grandson of Liuzi’s family is called Wang Yunfan, and he looks gentle and cute.

"Oh, Boss, our ship has been stopped again, and now we have to take a detour! We may have to wait a little longer before returning." Xu Damao continued.

"We don't care about this matter, as long as they can come back safely! How is the replacement big guy?"

"It's in sight. The money has already been paid. Now we're just going to wait until they come back after they build it and then get it back. It's just an empty shell anyway! It doesn't matter. All I want is to be able to build a floating hotel like the aircraft carrier I acquired before."

"Okay, it's up to you. We have plenty of money, but you must ensure quality and quantity." Jiang Yan said casually.
