Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1249, New Year

The next day, after receiving a call from Pony Ma, Jiang Yan went to Tencent’s office and signed the contract directly.

"Come on, I'm happy today and will give you a small gift." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

Then Jiang Yan took Jiang Sirui and Xiao Ma Ge into the car, and the rest of the people followed in a taxi.

"This is Xinghui Building."

Shenzhen Xinghui Building is the only second tallest building in Shenzhen. Many companies in Shenzhen gather here. It is a very high-end office building. Some companies are quite proud to say that their office is located in Shenzhen Xinghui.

"Okay, we're here." Jiang Yan said with a smile after reaching the 23rd floor.

"This is my property. I'm giving it to you as your company's headquarters. You can use it for free for five years. How about this gift? Do you like it?"

"This, this is too big, and there are only a few of us." Looking at the bright office, Xiao Ma Ge stuttered a little.

Looking at Xiao Ma Ge's current appearance, Jiang Yan felt very happy. Now he liked to see Xiao Ma Ge's naive look.

"Okay, stop being pretentious. This is your company from now on. You must have confidence in yourself. Okay, I leave this place to you. I have to go back." Jiang Yan patted Xiao Ma Ge and then spoke.

When entering the elevator, Jiang Yan heard cheers and surprised voices inside. When he returned home, Jiang Yan put the contract in the safe and locked it.

"Old man, let's go to Jiaopenji to celebrate the New Year! You haven't seen Xiuzi for a while." On the 26th, Jiang Sirui spoke.

"Okay, let's go to Jiaoben Chicken." Jiang Yan thought for a while and spoke.

After packing up, the two bought a plane ticket to Jiaobenji and boarded the plane directly. Before boarding the plane, Jiang Yan called Xueyue Xiuzi. Hearing that Jiang Yan was coming to Jiaobenji for the New Year, Xiuzi was also very happy. She hadn't seen Jiang Yan for half a year.

After hanging up the phone, he directly hired a housekeeper. Not only did they clean his own house, they also carefully cleaned up the villa that Jiang Yan bought, ensuring that it was spotless.

The plane stopped at Tokyo Narita Airport. After leaving the station, Jiang Yan saw Xueyue Hideko waiting there.

"Jiang Jun, big sister, you're here." Xiuzi came to Jiang Yan and greeted her carefully.

"We are sisters, there's no need to be polite." Jiang Sirui said with a smile and held Xiuzi's hand affectionately.

Jiang Sirui used to care about it a lot, after all, her husband had given her some of the property. However, in recent years, Xiuzi would come to Zhonghua's house whenever she had time, and she would always be humble in front of Jiang Sirui. So gradually, Jiang Sirui accepted Xiuzi and let her children call her second mother.

"Xiuzi, you have to teach me some Japanese this time, otherwise I will go out in the dark." Jiang Sirui pulled Xiuzi to sit together in the car and spoke.

"Sister, it doesn't matter if you don't want to learn. I can be your translator." Hideko said.

"Actually, Japanese is very simple to learn. The language of the foot basin chicken is derived from our language, so it is easy to learn." Then Jiang Yan taught Jiang Sirui how to teach Zhang Pengfei the fifty-sound chart.

It was the first time that Hideko heard Jiang Yan talk about the 50-sound chart like this, and she was quite surprised. "Where are Shizuka and Shinichi?" Jiang Yan asked.

"It's almost time to go home from school!" Hideko glanced at the time on her watch and spoke.

"Well, that's perfect. Let's pick them up on the way." Jiang Sirui said.

Shizuka Yuzuki is now a twelve-year-old girl and is currently attending a private junior high school. Shinichi is already eight years old and in elementary school, and is twelve years old and in the first grade of junior high school.

The compulsory education system of Jiaobenji stipulates that children and adolescents aged 6 to 15 years old must receive compulsory education, including a six-year primary education for children aged 6 to 12 years old and a three-year secondary education for adolescents aged 13 to 15 years old1. Therefore, twelve-year-old students usually have completed primary education and entered the first year of secondary school. Jiaobenji's education system is similar to that of Zhihuajia, which is also divided into three stages: primary school, secondary school and college.

Shinichi got out of school early, but he had to participate in club activities, so Jiang Yan and the others picked up Shizuka first.

"Ah! Father-san" Seeing Jiang Yan standing at the school gate, Shizuka was very happy and spoke subconsciously.

"Meet your father in Chinese." Hideko spoke from the side.

"Oh, okay, Dad, Mama." Shizuka smiled and greeted Jiang Yan and the others in Chinese.

"Are you tired? Get in the car." Jiang Yan took Shizuka's schoolbag with a smile and spoke while touching Shizuka's head.

"Do you miss your daddy?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile while sitting in the car, Shizuka was holding him like a koala. Hideko had told her like this several times just now, but Shizuka still didn't let go.

"Yes, I was thinking of going to play with dad and grandma when the house price is high." Shizuka said.

"By the way, Dad, Mom, how many days can you stay here?" Shizuka asked.

"We are here to spend the New Year with you this time. We will wait for you to go to school no matter what. Xiao Jingxiang, are you happy?" Jiang Sirui said with a smile.

"Really? I'm so happy, big mom, you're just right, I'll take you guys out to play when I have a day off."

Japanese New Year [Japanese: 正月しょうがつ] refers to January 1 to January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in other East Asian regions. It is the most important festival of the year.

In the past, Japan celebrated two New Years, namely New Year's Day and Spring Festival, which is similar to the situation in my country. It was only in modern times that the country changed to celebrate the New Year. On New Year's Eve, Japan calls it "New Year's Eve". On New Year's Eve, Japan also has the custom of staying up all night. People eat buckwheat noodles while watching the programs arranged by the TV station for the New Year. The most popular is the solo competition of male and female singers. At midnight, the temples are filled with incense and the bells ring, and they often ring 8000 times. It is said that this is because there is a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures that "hearing the bell, troubles are cleared." Japan believes that every time it rings, it will remove a kind of trouble. Ringing times means clearing all troubles. After the bell rings, people flock to shrines and temples, burn incense and worship Buddha, and read fortunes, which is called "Hatsumode" (meaning the first visit). It is estimated that nearly million people participate in the visit from midnight to New Year's Day every year. On the morning of New Year's Day, the whole family, from the youngest to the oldest, lines up to drink Tusu wine and eat herring roe, black beans, and small dried fish cooked in slightly sweet soy sauce. It is said that these auspicious foods will bring prosperity and good health to their descendants.

After picking up Shizuka, it was almost time, so they picked up Shinichi at the same time. Shinichi was now a handsome young boy, which made Jiang Sirui quite fond of him.

For dinner, Xiuzi cooked Sukiyaki herself. In order to suit the tastes of Jiang Yan and the others, she also specially prepared a few dishes from our Flower Growing Family.

Maybe due to Jiang Yan's appearance, unlike the quiet Shinichi, Shizuka was quite active.

At Jiaobenji, Jiang Yan takes a few people to the classic restaurant every day to eat special food and then soak in hot springs. His life is so carefree.
