An Nian was silent for a while.

"Grandpa and grandma, are they okay?"

This question was asked on behalf of Chen Wan's mother. In her memory, her mother once held her in her arms and sat in the yard looking at the sky, her eyes full of longing.

Maybe it's because An Nian has always been foolish and stupid. There are some words that Chen Wan doesn't dare to say to others, but she will miss her.

An Nian heard her mother talk about her thoughts and worries.

Chen Jinrong originally thought that she would be surprised and would ask about the Chen family's current assets in a subtle way, but he did not expect that her first question would be this.

The initial caution suddenly dissipated, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Grandpa and grandma are doing well. They are in good health and eat delicious food. It's just that the two elderly people are older and always hope that the younger generation can be by their side..."

With that said, Chen Jinrong looked at An Nian and spoke hesitantly.

"Nian Nian, I know that your parents have passed away. I went to Lu'an Village some time ago. I originally wanted to visit my aunt and uncle, but I didn't expect to get this bad news.

Fortunately, you were adopted by your uncle's brother and grew up safely.

I heard from people in the village that you married into the Yu family and joined the army with their eldest son. "

Chen Jinrong tried his best to explain, not wanting An Nian to misunderstand him.

"I was inquiring about the location of your army at this time, and wanted to go over to find you. I didn't expect to meet you in the capital shopping mall."

An Nian smiled, but did not take his words to heart, nor did he feel any gratitude.

For Chen Jinrong, it is very easy to find out his address.

But he would rather find the An family than step into the Yu family.

He would rather inquire about his location than ask his parents-in-law directly.

It is conceivable that Chen Jinrong was not searching sincerely, maybe he just did it casually.

From a small perspective, the Chen family's expectations for her are definitely not much higher.

Alas, the parents and relatives that Chen Wan's mother has always been thinking about don't really care about her.

An Nian sighed in his heart, but there was no sign of it on his face, he just smiled and said.

"I was admitted to Tsinghua University last year and am currently in my first year at Tsinghua University."

A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Jinrong's eyes: "Qingda University? Aren't you married?"

Tsinghua University, even in Hong Kong, Chen Jinrong knew how difficult it was to take the exam.

It has only been three years since China resumed the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination in these three years is comparable to thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Those who can pass the college entrance examination are definitely the best among people.

He looked at his cousin standing in front of him, who was half a head shorter than him, trying to find something special about her.

An Nian smiled and nodded: "I am married. But getting married does not affect my entrance to college."

"so……"

Chen Jinrong smiled dryly, "Cousin Nian Nian, you are quite good. What major did you major in? If it's finance or business administration, you can come to work at Chen's after you graduate."

"Chen is in the jewelry business, right?" An Nian looked up at the plaque of the shop in front of him.

The design is very exquisite, with a black base, embroidered with dark patterns of the same color, and three words in white - Chen Ruilin, which is very classy.

Chen Jinrong followed her and raised his head and said.

"Yes, our Chen family has been in the jewelry business since our ancestors. After arriving in Hong Kong City, we continued to work in the same business, and we are doing pretty well so far.

This time we returned to the mainland for investment. This store is our first store in the mainland. It's still being renovated, and you can come over anytime when it's finished.

It is impossible to become a manager directly, but you can start as a teller. "

Worried that An Nian would think he was neglecting, Chen Jinrong quickly added.

"Nian Nian, my cousin is not saying that you are only qualified to be a teller, but our Chen family has always had such a rule that all Chen family members must start from the bottom.

When I first joined Chen's, I was also a front-line teller, and I worked my way up through performance. "

"I understand." An Nian looked at him with a smile on his face. "Mr. Chen, you don't need to explain more."

Hearing that she was still so unfamiliar, Chen Jinrong's eyes dimmed.

"Nian Nian, if you don't want to call me cousin, you can just call me Jinrong."

"Then shall I call you Brother Rong?"

An Nian weighed it up and chose a title that was correct.

"I didn't study finance or business administration, and it has nothing to do with jewelry."

Facing the complicated eyes of the group of people opposite, An Nian said with a smile.

"I'm studying medicine. I probably won't have the chance to work at Chen's in the future."

At this moment, An Nian felt that he saw the expressions of several people across from him relax instantly, and felt very funny in his heart.

This group of people guarded a small Chen family, thinking it was a piece of cake, and were afraid that she would come out and snatch it from them.

"Brother, don't you introduce it to us?"

The group of young men and women who had been standing behind Chen Jinrong seemed to have become interested in An Nian at this time and stepped forward.

Chen Jinrong quickly turned sideways: "Look at my memory! Come on, Nian Nian, let me introduce you. These are our brothers and sisters."

He introduced them one by one.

The Chen family is indeed a huge family.

There are six young people here, all of whom are An Nian's cousins.

They are the eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle from An Nian respectively. Oh, I forgot to mention that Chen Jinrong is the eldest son of the uncle's family and the eldest brother of the group of people in front of him.

In addition to Chen Jinrong, the uncle also has three sons and two daughters from different wives. Chen Jinrong mentioned this in one sentence and did not go into details.

Rao Shi'an never forgot the thought and felt a headache at this moment.

She didn't want to recognize her relatives even more.

"Hello." An Nian nodded and took it as a greeting.

"Cousin, we have a party tonight, do you want to come to it?"

The youngest girl among them was so familiar that she directly took An Nian's arm and pushed Zhu Xiaoyun who was standing next to her to the side.

Zhu Xiaoyun stared at her back. If Li Yaoyao hadn't pulled her, she would have almost cursed.

An Nian stepped back a little to avoid her movements.

"No, I have to go to the library tonight."

The girl's eyes widened: "Ah, cousin, you work so hard. We all just hang out while studying. Anyway, we can join our family's company after graduation."

"We are different."

"It's the same! Cousin, will you come back to Hong Kong City with us? Your grandparents will be very happy to see you! As long as they are happy, they may give you a shop!"

Chen Jinrong frowned suddenly: "Chen Xiaoyuan, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Chen Xiaoyuan shrank when he scolded her.

"It turned out to be... that Yao Wan. After being recognized, he directly got the No. 3 store in Central. That store has the best location and has sales of several million a year."

Her voice was very soft, but people who were close could hear it clearly.

Chen Jinrong's face became increasingly ugly and he interrupted her directly: "Shut up!"

Chen Xiaoyuan trembled, knowing that her eldest brother was really angry now. He didn't dare to speak anymore and shrank like a quail.

Chen Jinrong tried his best to calm down his expression and smiled at An Nian.

"Nian Nian, we will only stay in the capital for half a month and will return to the port city in late March. Are you willing to come with us? Grandma will definitely be very happy to see you."

An Nian is still thinking about the name he heard just now, Yao Wan? Are these two words what she thought they were?

Hearing Chen Jinrong speak, he came back to his senses.

"No need, I'm quite busy with my studies. I can't go to Hong Kong City for the time being. I just want to know that my grandpa and grandma are in good health."

"That's it..." Chen Jinrong nodded slightly, "Then I won't force you. When you go on summer vacation, you can contact your cousin directly and I will send someone to pick you up."

As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket.

"Take this. It has my phone number on it. You can contact me at any time. By the way, I'll write you an address. Everyone in our family lives nearby."

He asked the person next to him for paper and pen, wrote a few lines in a flash, tore it off and handed it to An Nian.

"If you come to Hong Kong City to play, you can come to my home at any time. Everyone is very welcome to you."

"it is good."

An Nian took it and put it in his bag.

"Well, since you don't have time to eat with us today, forget it. Anyway, we can contact you at any time."

Chen Jinrong sighed.

An Nian smiled knowingly and said, "Then you're busy, so I won't bother you."

The Chen Ruilin store in front of him is in the final stage of renovation, and Chen Jinrong should be busy in the next half month.

An Nian said goodbye at the right time.

Several Chen family members said goodbye to her symbolically.

After An Nian left, they put away the smiles on their faces and curled their lips.

"She looks shabby. Look at the clothes she is wearing...I have never seen such rough fabrics in my life..."

"My sister-in-law has a bad brain. She refused to leave the mainland for a country boy with poor legs. Now she has lost her life in vain."

Chen Xiaoyuan approached Chen Jinrong and whispered.

"Brother, do you think An Nian is really that desperate to go to Hong Kong City to find grandma? What if grandma gives her everything in her name? I heard that grandma used to love my sister-in-law very much."

Chen Jinrong glanced at her: "You chameleon."

"Hey, aren't I talking about people and ghosts?"

Chen Xiaoyuan winked at him with a smile.

"Grandma's brain is not working very well now, and it is easy to be fooled. That Yao Wan is a typical example. I don't want to see the second Yao Wan again."

Chen Jinrong's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were dark.

"Yao Wan is different. She is Xiao Jinnian's ex-wife. My grandparents are so kind to her because of the Xiao family's reputation. Who is this An Nian? Just a country girl."

Thinking of what An Jiandang and his wife said when they were at Anjia, Chen Jinrong only felt disapproval in his heart.

What's the use of a country woman who married a low-level soldier even if she was admitted to Qingdao University?

He studied medicine. Mainlanders think it is an iron rice bowl, but in his opinion, he is just starving to death.

How could an ordinary doctor compare to the glory and wealth of their Chen family?

"Okay, stop being so pushy and hurry up and help us get supplies! The store has been decorated right away. Where are the jadeite ones? Can we guarantee enough supply?"

When it came to business, the expression on Chen Xiaoyuan's face immediately became serious.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you. We did not get good jade in the recent jade auctions, and the few rough stones we were promising were cut off, resulting in a loss of nearly ten million."

It is a normal operation to spend nearly million to buy raw jade stones, and the bet is on the jade reserves in the next few years, or even decades.

Jade has no shelf life. With the rise of everyone's economic level, the price of jade is doubling every year. If you hoard it, it will appreciate in value. In addition to being a raw material for the Chen family, it is also an investment method for the Chen family.

Chen Jinrong frowned: "Please help me urge it again. If it doesn't work this year, you can take out the old Laokeng jadeite and top it up. No matter what, our store in Beijing must have a treasure."

Chen Xiaoyuan sighed softly: "Okay."

-

After leaving the mall, An Nian did not go back to school, but returned to his family courtyard.

Except that she has to stay at school from Monday to Friday, she will go home at other times. Whether she and Yu Luyuan clean the courtyard together, or simply sit there to enjoy the wind and bask in the sun, both of them feel very happy. .

On the way home, An Nian bought some beef and mutton. She was craving for hot pot.

I cut the beef and mutton into thin slices and picked some vegetables.

The roses on the wall are still blooming very luxuriantly. Since the snow melted, the roses have sprouted and bloomed continuously for more than three months, and they are still strong.

Passers-by passing by their yard can't help but look up at them, and tall people will reach out and pick two.

Roses are very generous and they are basically allowed to pick them as long as they don't go too far.

As soon as An Nian plucked some rapeseed, the most blooming and prosperous flower fell on his shoulder.

She laughed and reached out to touch it: "Is this for me?"

The flower branch swayed happily, and a clear voice spread into An Nian's sea of ​​consciousness.

【give you! give you! 】

An Nian's eyebrows arched with joy, she gently took it off and raised her hand to say goodbye to her temples.

"Thank you, I love it."

"whee."

An Nian grasped its hanging branches and channeled some spiritual power.

The flower branches swayed more joyfully, and her mood also soared.

"Okay, keep an eye on the house."

Although this rose blooms brilliantly and only has a small flower bud, every branch of it is actually covered with tiny poisonous needles. If someone wants to climb over the wall and steal something, they will definitely do it. His head was pricked by it.

It's not like this has never happened.

An Nian and Yu Luyuan lived in such a large courtyard house, and everyone around them was jealous. They also knew that the two were rich and rarely went home, so naturally there were evil-minded people sneaking over.

However, they all failed. Not only did they not steal anything, they were also injured.

The poisonous needle of the rose flower pierces the human body, causing dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and heart palpitations. The severity of the symptoms depends only on the mood of "it" at the time. Different moods will release different amounts of toxins.

Over time, even if An Nian and Yu Lu were far away from home, no one dared to climb over the wall and steal things.

"Nian Nian, where are you?"

Yu Luyuan was holding cakes in his hand and called her name when he entered the yard.

An Nian let go of the rose branch.

"Here you are! Why are you back so early today?"

Yu Luyuan walked quickly to her side, put his arms around her waist, and took her directly out of the vegetable garden.

After taking her out, he couldn't bear to let go of his hand, lowered his head and rubbed her face affectionately.

"Graduation! I'll be back after the final graduation ceremony."

His schedule today is very simple. He will take An Nian to the mall and return to the military academy for the graduation ceremony.

"Congratulations!" An Nian reached out and touched his earlobe, smiling happily. "Happy graduation!"

"Is there any reward?" Yu Luyuan bit her lips and kissed her again and again, with lingering eyes.

"Yes, I have."

Yu Luyuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "What reward?"

An Nian raised his hand, showed him a handful of rapeseed he had just picked, and said with a smile.

"I'll reward you with a hot pot meal."
