On this day, Yan Chen came back from get off work and said to Xiang Jin, "I'm going back to the provincial capital tomorrow."
Xiang Jin asked, "Is there something urgent?"
Yan Chen said, "Grandpa said that after he resigned, he would no longer occupy the country's resources. He wanted to free up the house and move it out of the courtyard. I put some things in the courtyard before. I will go back
Clean it up."
Xiang Jin knew that some things couldn't go through human hands, so he nodded, "Okay, then you can go back. Oh, by the way, a few of the houses I bought before called me to pick them up.
, I never have time, can you pick it up for me when you go back this time?"
"Okay! How many sets are there?"
Xiang Jin said, "Three sets, I will issue you a power of attorney later, and then go to the notary office to have it notarized tomorrow morning. Oh, by the way, what time is your flight tomorrow?"
Yan Chen said, "Don't worry, I have a flight at eight o'clock tomorrow night. I won't leave until after get off work."
"Oh, okay, then I will notarize it and bring it to you."
"good!"
"Hey, after grandpa leaves office, will he be completely retired and can he be raised in honor?" Xiang Jin followed up and asked.
Yan Chen said, "It seems there is a new appointment."
"Ah? What?"
Yan Chen said, "We don't know yet. The specific appointment letter hasn't come out yet. We won't know until it comes."
Xiang Jin joked, "Are you continuing to use your remaining heat?"
Yan Chen laughed, "That's true!"
"Then after he leaves office, he will still have dedicated drivers, secretaries, and police officers?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, the original equipment still exists. There are still dedicated official cars, dedicated drivers, secretaries and guards."
Xiang Jin said, "I'm glad our house has enough rooms, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange them when the time comes."
Yan Chen said, "It doesn't matter. When they come, just let them live in the courtyard over there. Anyway, we have also renovated the courtyard over there."
Xiang Jin said, "Isn't that bad? The house over there is not as well decorated as here, and it's not good for you to let grandpa live there alone!"
Yan Chen said, "It's not about letting grandpa live there, but letting them live there."
Xiang Jin said, "They are grandpa's personal secretaries and bodyguards."
Yan Chen said, "If they live here, where will your brother, parents, and aunt live when they come to have a BJ?"
Xiang Jin asked, "Can we let them live there? They won't stay here for long when they come to BJ. They can only stay for a few days at most every time they come."
Yan Chen said, "Then I will ask grandpa what he means."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay! Then tomorrow I will ask my grandparents to prepare some quilts and bring them back. I will also buy some home appliances there and turn on the water heater. Anyway, the preparations still have to be done.
Otherwise, when they really go to live there, they will have nothing."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
So during dinner in the evening, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen told several elders at home about this matter. The elders nodded and said that they would go over there to clean the house over there tomorrow and go to the shopping mall.
Come back and buy some bedding and daily necessities.
Xiang Jin said, "I will ask Chen Ran to drive with you when the time comes. This will be more efficient."
The elders nodded and did not refuse. After all, there were indeed a lot of things to buy tomorrow and there were many things to do. The most important thing was that Xibao could not be away from others, which was the top priority of their family.
Yan Chen said, "There is still time to prepare slowly, don't worry, I will go back tomorrow night, and I won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest, so you have at least two or three days to prepare these."
Several elders nodded again.
Because everyone at the notary office works from 9 to 5, so if I go early, no one else goes to work, so I can only wait there, so Xiang Jin has to extend the time to go out and stay until eight o'clock.
It took half an hour to go out.
"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, I'll go out with Chen Ran to do some errands first, and then let her accompany you to the mall later?"
A few people nodded, "Just let them go and do their work first."
Xiang Jin and Chen Ran went out. Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo said to Xiang Jin's grandparents, "We've gone over there. You two can look after Xibao at home."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Then let me go there with you to clean up?"
Grandma Mo said, "No, no, we can just go and clean up over there. Two people must be left at home to take care of Xibao. The children are the top priority. Jin Yatou and Chen Chen have already said that we can take it slow."
Clean it up slowly, so don't be in a hurry, and you also have to prepare lunch later."
Xiang Jin and her grandparents nodded and stopped insisting. This is true. When one of them goes to cook, the other one will have to stay and take care of Xibao.
People can also plow the vegetable field and plant new vegetable seedlings.
"Okay, then you go over and clean it up, and we'll do it at home," Xiang Jin's grandmother said.
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng nodded, and then they followed them to the house over there. Xiang Jin's grandpa also said to Xiang Jin's grandma, "You take care of Xi Bao, I'll dig up the vegetable field and plant it."
food, and then cook later.”
Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "Okay, I'll work hard on you today."
Xiang Jin's grandfather smiled and said, "Look what you said, it's just a small amount of land, a few square meters, how can I be so tired? Okay, you go in and see the child, I'm going to work too.
"
Xiang Jin went to the notary commission office and waited for a while before it was her turn, because there were several people in line in front of her, but the staff was very efficient. When it was her turn, the process was completed in two or three minutes.
After coming out of the notary office, Chen Ran asked, "Mr. Xiang, should we go directly to Yan Chen's company now?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, go home directly first. I'm afraid Xibao will make a fuss when he wakes up later. I'll bring it to him at noon. When you go back later, you can take my grandparents and the others directly to the mall.
Come back here to buy some daily necessities and bedding, eat lunch directly at home, and then go back to the company in the afternoon."
"Oh, good!"
When the two of them arrived home, Xiang Jin's grandfather was already preparing lunch. After Xiang Jin washed her hands and changed her clothes, she asked her grandma softly, "Has Xibao been asleep since I went out?"
Her grandma nodded, "Oh, he has been asleep and hasn't woken up yet, but I guess he won't be able to sleep for a long time before he wakes up. This child eats regularly, and he needs to drink milk every two and a half hours.
.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Grandma, let me watch him. You and Chen Ran go to the mall to buy some daily necessities we talked about yesterday and come back. Chen Ran is waiting for you outside. After shopping in the mall,
Lunch is almost ready.”
Her grandma stood up and said, "Oh, okay, I'll go right away. How about buying some sheets and quilt covers?"
Xiang Jin said, "If you have a secretary, a driver, and two guards, you must prepare at least two thicker quilts and padding in the house. It will soon enter winter, and thin quilts will definitely not work.
, I guess that car can’t hold so many things at once, so it will take two trips.”
Her grandma said, "It's okay. If you have a car, it'll be fast!"
"Oh, by the way, grandma, you can stop by the mall to buy a washing machine, a refrigerator and a TV. Then leave them your contact number and address and ask them to deliver it directly to the house over there in the afternoon."
When Xiang Jin and her grandmother were about to leave the room, Xiang Jin suddenly called her grandmother.
Her grandma nodded, "Oh, okay!"
"Grandma, please wait a minute." When Xiang Jin saw her grandma was about to go out, Xiang Jin called out to her again, "I'll get you some money."
Her grandma said, "If you have money, if you have money, don't give it to me. There is still almost more than 20,000 yuan in that shopping card. You can arrange it after it is used up."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, I'll forward it to you then."
"Oh, good!"
Xiang Jin's grandma went out. When Xiang Jin turned around, she saw that her Xibao was awake, stretching and rubbing his eyes with his little hands.
"Son, are you awake?!" Xiang Jin picked up the little guy from the bed, and the little guy immediately hugged her. Xiang Jin knew that she was hungry, so she put him back on the bed.
"Wait a minute, mommy is going to clean up and will come to feed you right away."
It was almost one o'clock when several elders came back with Chen Ran.
"Why did it take so long?" Xiang Jin asked.
Her grandma said, "It took Chen Ran and me three trips to prepare all the daily necessities over there. Where is your grandpa?"
Xiang Jin said, "Grandpa went to deliver lunch to Yan Chen, and brought him the notarized power of attorney I gave him in the morning."
Her grandma asked again, "Xiaochen won't be back in the afternoon?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, if he doesn't come back, he will go directly to the airport from the company."
A few elders nodded, and then everyone went to wash their hands and eat.
Chen Ran asked, "Why don't we wait until Grandpa Ouyang comes back?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, grandpa has already eaten, and so have I. I was hungry at that time, so I ate first, so I didn't wait for you."
Grandma Mo said, "You have children to take care of, so it's right to eat early."
After lunch, Chen Ran returned to the company. Xiang Jin and her grandparents came over to talk to her after cleaning up the kitchen. Xiang Jin asked them, "Grandpa, grandma, have you cleaned up all the houses over there?"
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng nodded, "Oh, it's been packed up. The furniture, doors and windows have been wiped, the kitchen hygiene has been cleaned up, and the floors have been mopped. Today and tomorrow
The water vapor is enough to move in.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Grandpa and grandma, you have worked hard today. Thank you, grandpa and grandma."
The two old men waved their hands, and Grandma Mo said, "This is hard work, but it's not heavy work."
Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Oh, it's still hard work. After the house was renovated, no one has lived in it, and there is a lot of dust in it. It's not just about wiping down the table and sweeping the floor."
If you can solve the problem, then you need to clean it up.
Look at how clean you have kept that house, not only every room has been cleaned, but also the furniture, doors and windows in every room have been wiped spotless."
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng both had smiles on their faces.
Xiang Jin asked, "Have you cleaned every room?"
The two old men nodded, and Grandma Mo said, "There are not many rooms, so we will clean them together. It won't waste much time anyway. If there are many people coming by then, the room will be enough to live in, right?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't know yet whether I will live here or there."
Grandma Mo said, "It's okay. A house must be tidied up at all times to be popular and prevent it from falling into disrepair, especially a renovated house. You see, even if it is a well-decorated house, if it remains for a long time
No one lives in it, so the house will slowly become old and deteriorated in a short time."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked her grandma, "Grandma, where are the daily necessities you and Chen Ran bought today?"
Her grandma said, "We bought sheets and quilt covers, quilts and cushions. We also bought pots and pans, cups and kettles, paper towels, and some rice, flour, and oil, which are also placed over there.
What if they want to cook something there then, will they have the materials?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Grandma, you are so thoughtful."
Her grandma said, "Hey, you need to prepare some daily necessities. I also prepared some toiletries for each of them, such as towels, toothpaste for brushing, shampoo and shower gel.
As for the quilts, I prepared an eight-pound quilt, two sheets and quilt covers for each room, an eight-pound pad, plus a cashmere blanket, and a five-pound quilt.
A heavy thin quilt, so when they come, they can take out a quilt of any weight they want to use."
Xiang Jin nodded again, "It seems that grandma, you have indeed prepared everything for them. Have you ordered the refrigerator, washing machine, and TV?"
Her grandma said, "It's ordered, it's ordered, it's all ordered. It's scheduled to be delivered at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll be there soon."
Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, the other party will call us to confirm before delivering it to confirm whether there is anyone at home. It's not too late for you to go over after the other party calls."
Her grandma said, "Your grandpa and I will open up the air in the house over there. Don't let people move in and not even be able to boil water."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then I'll give you the card."
Her grandfather added, "Bring out the water card and electricity card as well. We will also charge these in later."
"Oh, good!"
Xiang Jin was working in the study when she suddenly heard some noise outside, so she asked Chen Ran who was standing beside her, "What happened outside?"
Chen Ran said, "I'll go take a look."
After a while, Chen Ran came back and said excitedly to Xiang Jin, "Mr. Xiang, it's the old chief and Mr. Yan who are back."
"Grandpa, are they here?!" Xiang Jin was surprised.
Chen Ran nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah! In addition to the old chief, there are four people, probably the old chief's guards and secretaries. They are talking to some elders in the reception room right now."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After Xiang Jin processed the urgent documents in her hand, she handed them to Chen Ran. After her, she stood up and walked out from behind the desk, and then left the study with Chen Ran.
It's just that Chen Ran went back to the company, while she went to the reception room.
But halfway through, she met Yan Chen who was walking towards her, "Why are you going?"
Yan Chen said, "Go find you!"
Xiang Jin pointed in the direction of the reception room, "But grandpa, do I have to go say hello to him?"
Yan Chen grabbed her hand and said, "It's okay. Grandpa is currently chatting with grandparents and grandparents. She also knows that you are dealing with work. Don't worry, he won't mind.
, let’s go back to the room with me first, and let’s take a look at Xibao together.” After saying that, he pulled her towards their room.
Xiang Jin had no choice but to follow him back to the house first.
After returning to the house, Yan Chen said to her, "You take out the things in my suitcase and put them away. I'll go in and wash up first."
Xiang Jin asked him, "What's inside?"
Yan Chen said, "See for yourself!"
Xiang Jin saw that he was mysterious and was about to open his suitcase, but Yan Chen hooked her up and gave her a long kiss, "There are still more than ten days to three months.
"
"Ah?!" Xiang Jin looked at him blankly.
Yan Chen stared at her and greeted her teasingly, "I've been waiting for you for three months, and I want you!"
Xiang Jin immediately understood what he meant, and then stood on tiptoes and whispered to him, "I'll help you tonight!"
Yan Chen's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth raised high, "Okay!"
Yan Chen went to wash up, and Xiang Jin went to open his suitcase, and found that his suitcase was so heavy that she couldn't lift it at all, "Is it packed with a bunch of iron?"
She couldn't lift it, so she simply opened it on the spot. The first thing she saw was his set of clothes. She knew that these clothes were of secondary importance, because they didn't weigh much at all, and there were other things underneath them.
Something, so she took off the clothes and put them on the stool next to her.
Then she saw something wrapped in a sheet lying under the clothes. Although she was curious about the contents, her eyes were attracted by a vermilion carved wooden box next to it.
She couldn't help but take out the wooden box, put it on the table not far away and opened it. Then she saw several real estate certificates and sets of keys inside the wooden box.
And the other one is a slightly smaller wooden box similar to the big box outside.
She thought that these real estate certificates and these bunches of keys were the apartments she had entrusted Yan Chen to pick up for her. He picked up the two bunches of keys and looked at them, and he saw that the labels on them were those.
As a real estate agent who was about to take over a house, she took out the real estate certificates inside and opened one of them to look at it. She saw that her name was indeed written on it.
After reading several real estate deeds one by one, Xiang Jin opened the small wooden box and saw that there were several small wooden boxes inside. She took out one of them and opened it to see that there was something lying inside.
Wearing a pair of amethyst earrings, a pair of amethyst bracelets, a string of amethyst beads, and an amethyst brooch.
She picked up one of the crystal bracelets and took a look. She saw that it was not only bright in color, but also transparent and free of flakes and ice cracks. This should be the high-quality crystal that Yan Chen had told her about before.
This small box contained jewelry, so the remaining boxes should also contain jewelry? So she picked up the other two boxes and looked at them, and saw what was lying in one.
There were four pieces of gold, the kind of small yellow croakers from the old days. She counted four in total.
Inside another small box is a complete set of imperial green jewelry, which includes not only an jade necklace, but also an jade bracelet, a second jade ring, and an jade ring.
Xiang Jin was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw. Oh my goodness, this set of jewelry is almost as good as the nanmu pillar in Prince Gong's Mansion, right? Does their home have such a trench?
Imperial green, what about imperial green?
Her heart couldn't calm down for a long time and kept beating wildly.
Yan Chen came out of the bathroom and saw her standing there stupidly, as if she was petrified.
He walked over and waved his hand in front of her in a funny way, "Are you dumbfounded?"
Xiang Jin came to his senses, and then said with excitement, "Husband, why do we still have this thing in our house?"
Yan Chen said, "This is all the property of grandparents, and now it all belongs to us."
She lowered her voice and asked, "Grandpa, where did he get these things? These things are already very valuable."
Yan Chen said, "That set of amethyst jewelry and those few gold bars were saved by my grandma before. That set of imperial green jade jewelry was obtained by my grandfather through a small bag of grain when he was a soldier on the border between China and Myanmar."
I got it from a Burmese farmer in exchange.
It was not jewelry at that time, just a stone. The other party said that it was a stone from the Laokeng Zhong ore pit in Myanmar. He had been working in that mine before. Then something happened to his family, so he sneaked out from there and took the opportunity to leave.
Two stones were brought out from there,
He said that although he was not sure that there must be jade inside, there was still a chance that it was a stone from Laokeng.
The other party’s family lived just above the China-Myanmar border, and because the family was so poor at the time that they couldn’t find anything to blame, he took a stone and tried his luck at the place where my grandfather and his friends often patrolled, hoping to exchange some food from us.
Go back and save lives.
That day, my grandfather happened to be patrolling the border with his soldiers, and then he met that man. At first, he thought he was a spy sent by another country to spy on the military situation. Finally, after some examination, it was finally determined that he was a spy.
The residents near the border.
The other party said that his family had been without food for several days. His mother and several children were starving to death, and he was also hungry and skinny, so he hoped to come to us to ask for some food.
My grandfather thought he was pitiful, so the family collected some food and gave it to the other party to take back, and also asked him to carry the stone back. However, the other party was unwilling and took the small bag of food and ran away.
faster than a rabbit.
My grandfather and several of his comrades at the time said that they ran so fast. Could it be that they encountered a liar? My grandfather also suspected it at the time, but there was no way. He organized everyone to collect food for each other. Even if he encountered a liar, he would
I can only admit defeat.
Then he asked his comrades who wanted the rock, but none of them wanted it. They also said that they didn't have the strength to fight against the broken rock. In order to learn the lesson from that time, my grandfather always alerted himself.
, don’t be easily deceived, so you just accept your fate and move the finger back.
Later, when he went home to visit relatives, he simply moved the stone back home. Later, in the 1980s, he came home from a visit to relatives and suddenly wanted to see if there was any material in the stone.
, so he moved the stone to a jade processing place and asked the other party to help cut it and look at it.
When he saw the screen full of emerald green, my grandfather was dumbfounded. Then after paying the master a large sum of money, he asked him to divide the stone into several small pieces, and then he held the stone in his arms.
The pile of stones went home.
Later, he took one of the stones and went to another place to find someone to process it into that set of jade jewelry. Come on, look!" Yan Chen then brought Xiang Jin to his suitcase, and then squatted down.
, she opened the thing wrapped in the sheet fabric, and then Xiang Jin saw that there were seven or eight jadeite stones that were divided into different thicknesses. She was immediately surprised again.
She covered her mouth for a while and then said to Yan Chen, "Oh my god, how big must this stone be?"
Yan Chen said, "About ten kilograms."
"This grandpa gave everything to us?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, yes, it's all for us."
Xiang Jin asked, "Will my aunt say anything wrong when she finds out?"
Yan Chen said, "My aunt was not at home when my grandfather was carrying the stone to find someone to cut it, so for all these years she never knew that my grandparents still had such a good thing."
Xiang Jin nodded and said, "I think grandpa still favors you, huh?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Have you never heard of intergenerational marriage?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "I've heard of it!"
Yan Chen said again, "He Rui has not kissed my grandfather since she was a child. She kisses her grandparents over there."
Xiang Jin nodded, "I understand!"
Yan Chen then added, "Besides, my aunt's previous watch shop was opened for her by my grandparents who contributed most of the money."
Xiang Jin said, "Then we have to put these things away, but we must not leak the news and let your aunt and the others know about it, otherwise we will have a problem. Alas, when you were putting away these things, no one else saw it.
Bar?"
Yan Chen said, "Don't worry, it's okay. Grandpa always called me to his room alone and handed me over to me. We didn't say much at that time, so no one would know."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good, that's good!" Then she lowered her voice and said to Yan Chen, "Husband, for this thing in our house, we can buy a few nanmu from Prince Gong's Mansion next door.
Is it a pillar?"
Yan Chen immediately laughed, "I should be able to buy five or six."
Xiang Jin raised her chin, her eyes suddenly narrowed into slits with a smile, and then she said to Yan Chen, "Put it away, put it away, put it away quickly, and then I'll go say hello to grandpa and his old man."
"Okay," Yan Chen looked at her fondly, and then went to turn on the switch of the secret room in their bedroom. Xiang Jin quickly put the small jewelry boxes into the large jewelry box and handed it to Yan Chen.
Yan Chen held the box and put it away. Xiang Jin went to re-wrap the jadeite stones, then found a covered foam paper box and put the jadeite stones into the foam box.
Then he wrapped it with sealing tape and handed it to Yan Chen to put it in the secret room. "I will use this for the time being. I will find a better wooden box to put the wood in another day."
In the box.”
Yan Chen said, "Okay!"
Just when the two of them had packed up everything, Xiao Xibao woke up and started crying. Xiang Jin hurriedly ran to wash his hands and then started to check his diapers, and found that the little guy was actually peeing.
.
Yan Chen fetched hot water and washed his bottom, then changed into a new diaper. Xiang Jin fed him milk again, and then the two of them hugged him and headed towards the reception room.
After arriving at the reception room, Xiang Jin glanced at the scene inside and saw a crowded room of people. In addition to her grandparents, grandparents, and Yan Chen's grandfather, there were indeed four other people.
But she didn't know three of these four people.
The old man still had fair hair and a boyish face, and looked full of energy. He was chatting with several elders with a smile on his face, and the laughter was so hearty and generous.
Everyone saw them coming in, and Yan Chen was holding a baby in his hand, so everyone stopped talking.
Xiang Jin walked in holding Yan Chen's arm and greeted the old man first, "Grandpa, you are finally here!"
The old man immediately laughed out loud, "Chen Ran said you were dealing with work, how are you doing, have you finished it?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's done. It's been done for a while. I should have come to say hello to you at that time, but Xibao woke up, and then I went to serve him again. I was late. I wanted to see my grandpa.
Don’t you mind?”
The old man waved his hand, "No, no, grandpa is not that stingy." After saying that, he stood up from his seat, and then walked towards them with vigorous steps, but his eyes were fixed on
The one in Yan Chen's hand is not dumpling.
When he saw a certain child, he immediately became happy and said, "Come on, come on, let me hug you too," and stretched out his hand towards Yan Chen.
Yan Chen handed the child to him, and he teased it while holding the child, "Oh, Xibao, this is the first time that my grandpa has seen you. Oh, okay, okay, great! We Xibao, hurry up."
When you grow up, my great-grandpa has prepared a lot of fun toys for you, but you are too young to play with them."
After the little guy stared at him for a while, he showed his pink gums and smiled at the old man. While laughing, he kept saying ahhhhhhhhh to the old man.
When the old man saw it, he became even more happy, and then he couldn't put it down for the little thing in his hand. He hugged him and kept talking to him, and told other people in the room
They were all left to dry.
The elders are all very good at adjusting and stimulating the atmosphere, so they did not silence the room. Yan Chen and his grandfather went to tease his great-grandson, while the elders in the family took the initiative to talk to those few
The guard spoke to the secretary.
Xiang Jin didn't know the people on the other side, so she didn't intervene. Instead, she sat aside and listened quietly to their explanations. Occasionally, she whispered a few words to Yan Chen in a low voice.
However, during their chat, Xiang Jin learned that they were all newly assigned staff to their old man. The secretary's surname was still Li, Li Weidong, from Qingdao, Shandong, and the two police officers were named Hao.
Ren is from Mianzhou, his surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Chuan, from Taiyuan, Shanxi. The driver is still the same driver, named Yang Ze. Xiang Jin knows this man and has been with the old man for many years.
The previous few personnel were arranged by their old man to go to other places. Of course, they are still serving in the army. This one is named Yang Ze. The old man originally arranged for him, but this man was unwilling.
Leaving their old man's side, he said that he had followed him for many years and was used to being by his side.
No matter where he is transferred, he will still be a driver, and he only knows how to drive and knows nothing else. Instead of going to work elsewhere, it is better for him to stay with his grandpa. Anyway, he
Drivers are also needed.
Later, after organizational research and decision-making, he complied with his request and allowed him to continue to stay with the old man. The old man finally agreed to his request.
