I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

Before the Spring Festival in 1993, the eldest son Yan Xueqian and Xiao Youyi held their wedding in a three-courtyard house in Banchang Hutong.

There weren't many people involved this time; the main ones were Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, the He family, and the Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers.

Secondly, there was Liu Lan and her daughter who rushed over after receiving the news.

Of course, Yan Bugui and his wife were also present.

Zhou's mother and Xiao Youyi's grandmother also arrived a few days in advance to participate in their daughter and granddaughter's wedding.

After arriving in the capital, Grandma Little Jewish met with Old Lady Liu. The two hit it off immediately and chatted together every day.

They even sleep together at night.

They're like two old children.

After drinking the medicinal soup that Yan Jiefang had his daughter-in-law, Xiao Youyi, brew, Zhou's mother's complexion improved significantly.

I feel much more relaxed than before.

She looks at least ten years younger than before, and still retains some of her former charm.

Led by the brothers Yan Xueheng and Yan Xueyuan, everyone arrived at the three-courtyard siheyuan in Banchang Hutong.

Many people are visiting this courtyard house for the first time.

Seeing this courtyard house, which, though not lavishly decorated, was clearly full of attention to detail, everyone was full of praise.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiefang's family quietly bought such a large and luxurious courtyard.

Buying a house like this not only costs a lot of money, but you also don't know how many connections you need to pull to succeed.

Moreover, Yan Xueqian quietly married a top-tier celebrity from Hong Kong.

It's worth noting that with the release of several hit albums, Little Jew has become the dream girl of many young people in Southeast Asia.

If they knew this news, I wonder how many people would be heartbroken.

In those days, there were few formalities in China. After a simple wedding ceremony, the young Jewish girl was sent to the bridal chamber in the east wing of the central courtyard.

Today's wedding banquet was personally prepared by Sha Zhu, whose culinary skills have improved considerably, with his son He Xiao assisting him.

...

For their eldest son's wedding, Yan Jiefang and his wife Liu Ruyan gave them some gifts to "press down" on the bed.

Liu Ruyan took out two sets of exquisite gold jewelry.

Yan Jiefang's case was much simpler.

He took 20 gold bars, each weighing 12.5 kilograms, directly from the vault in the space and gave them to his son and daughter-in-law for safekeeping.

These items are taken out after the guests have left.

But the family was still shocked when they saw the brothers Yan Xueheng and Yan Xueyuan carrying a large, glittering gold brick from the main house to the west wing.

These are a full 20 gold bars, each weighing 12.5 kilograms and made of pure gold (999 gold)!

That adds up to 500 jin!

At the current gold price, a gold bar like this would cost approximately 125 million!

20 gold bars worth 2500 million!

This was in 1993; 2500 million was an astronomical figure!

Not only was Zhou's mother, Old Lady Zhou, stunned, but even Liu Ruyan and the three Yan brothers, who knew their husbands were wealthy, were stunned.

The three million yuan in cash and a box of jewelry that Yan Jiefang gave them last time were just a drop in the ocean compared to these gold bricks.

Of course, this amount of gold bricks is nothing compared to the more than 600 tons of gold in Yan Jiefang's warehouse.

It's completely insignificant.

Seeing everyone standing there dumbfounded, Yan Jiefang clapped his hands:

"Alright, that's basically it for today. Everyone must be tired, so get some rest."

After everyone left, Little Jew looked at the small mountain of gold piled up on the bed, laboriously picked up one of the pieces, and then gently put it back down.

Somewhat at a loss, she asked her husband, Yan Xueqian:

"Xueqian, where should we put all this gold?"

Yan Xueqian, however, was confident:

"Don't worry, Dad designed a special safe in each master bedroom when he was decorating."

As he spoke, he moved the bedside table aside, tapped it against a piece of solid wood flooring, and lifted a small section to reveal a combination lock underneath.

As he entered the 9-digit password, the floor slowly sank down, revealing a metal combination lock box inside.

It wasn't empty inside; there were several exquisite boxes inside.

Yan Xueqian took all the boxes out and placed them on the bed.

The little Jew picked one up and asked curiously:

"What is this?"

Yan Xueqian glanced at it:

"That's the gold medal I won at the Olympics."

The little Jew was somewhat surprised:

"An Olympic gold medal? I've never seen one in person!"

As she spoke, she opened the box.

Inside, a gold medal gleamed, its color resembling gold bricks.

The gold medal features a relief of Nike, the goddess of victory, on the front, with the number 1992 and the Olympic rings prominently displayed next to it.

The little Jewish boy took out his gold medal and hung it around his neck. He liked it no matter how he looked at it and was overjoyed.

She then opened the other ten boxes, which contained two Asian Games gold medals and seven Olympic gold medals.

The last, larger box contained a slightly larger pure gold medal.

The inscription on its surface indicates that it is a one-kilogram gold medal.

The little Jewish boy hung all his gold medals around his neck like a child, wiping his face with a smile.

Seeing this, Yan Xueqian could only shake his head helplessly and began to move the large gold bricks one by one into the safe and stack them up.

. . .

After the wedding, Yan Jiefang and his son Yan Xueheng personally escorted Zhou's mother and grandmother back to Hong Kong, and then rushed back to Banchang Hutong before the Lunar New Year.

They spent the Lunar New Year here this year, and will likely stay here most of the time from now on.

Fortunately, it's not far from Lao Qin Hutong, so it's very convenient to get around.

As the top contributors to last year's Olympics, the three Yan brothers were all invited to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Despite the host's teasing, the three brothers were not intimidated at all and even sang a festive song called "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing You Prosperity).

The song surprised the hosts.

The female host, surnamed Ni, immediately asked who wrote the song.

The three of them said in unison:

"My dad."

As a veteran host, Lao Zhao and the others immediately thought of that god-like man.

It really does prove that saying true:

"Like begets like!"

The three brothers didn't stay on stage for long, taking up everyone's time. After singing and answering a few questions, they left the stage.

At home, Yan Jiefang and others also sat around the television watching the program.

Compared to later generations, the programs of this era were quite good; they could be considered a flourishing of diverse talents.

The group watched with great interest, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Little Jew also has a show this year, and this time her song is "Courage," one of the title tracks from her new album.

After several years of practice, and with occasional guidance from Yan Jiefang, her singing skills have improved considerably.

Otherwise, she might not have been able to sing this song at that level.

Yan Jiefang would not allow her to sing these kinds of songs.

The three brothers waited for her show to end before driving home together.

As a top-tier actress, Xiao Youyi's every move is often under scrutiny.

This year's participation in the Spring Festival Gala is no exception.
