There is a mountain in her arms

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the New Year, and Jiang Yichen and his family were preparing to leave and return to Beijing.

"Sister-in-law, why did you leave so early this time? Don't you usually leave two days before school starts?"

"Sister-in-law, there's a lot of things to do in Beijing! We need to sort out our house and our fruit shop. An'an also wants to wish his classmates a happy new year, and Chengcheng also has other things to deal with."

"Hearing what you said, you are indeed very busy. No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health."

"I know, but you two are old now, so don't help Weiguo and the others with the physical work. Just look after the shop and you'll be helping out."

"Hey, hey, I know, I know."

Before leaving, the whole family went to the mountain to say goodbye to their parents. Then Jiang Weiguo saw them off. Jiang Weiping and his family also planned to leave today, so they squeezed into an ox cart.

"Uncle, our bus has arrived. We'll leave first. I wish you a safe journey."

"Good! I hope everything goes well for you too."

When Jiang Weiguo sent Jiang Yichen and the others to the station, Grandpa Jiang specifically asked Jiang Weiguo to give a message to his father.

"Weiguo, I think I forgot to tell your father something just now. Go back and tell him that our house needs more sun exposure. If your father is free, please move the things in our room out to dry in the sun."

"Uncle, there's no need to be so fussy about this. I'll help you with it."

"Stop talking nonsense. Just take it back with what I said. Remember, take it with what I said. Don't misinterpret it."

"Okay, I remember it. The exact words."

Although Jiang Weiguo didn't understand why he had to say such a thing, he still kept it in mind.

Grandpa Jiang then got into the car with peace of mind and told him to call him if anything happened. He also asked Jiang Zitao to come to his home to play during the holidays, which was also Jiang Zitao's second home.

Jiang Weiguo nodded repeatedly, watched their train start moving attentively, and then hurried home.

As soon as Jiang Yicheng and the others walked out of the station, Chi Yuan, who was standing upright, stood out from the crowd.

"Chengcheng, here. Grandpa and grandma, An'an, I'm here to take you home."

Chi Yuan politely greeted them one by one, took their luggage, and escorted them out attentively.

"Xiao Yuan, a military and political family like yours must be very busy during the New Year!"

"It's okay. It's the elders who are busy. I, a powerless junior, have nothing to do. Grandma, my grandpa and dad are not at home for dinner these days, and my mom has social events every day. Aunt Wu is home for the holiday. Can I have dinner with you?"

"Come on! How have you been these past few days?"

"I can cook, but it always feels a little weird to eat alone during Chinese New Year."

Chi Yuan's words made Grandma Jiang's heart soften completely. She clapped his hands and invited him again and again.

"Then come and eat with us. It only takes one more pair of chopsticks. It's not a big deal. Chengcheng wants to visit the factory these days, so we'll feel more at ease if you accompany her."

After Chi Yuan sent them home, he helped clean up the house and had dinner before going home.

The Chi family's yard was brightly lit, and Old Man Chi was listening to his two sons talking about the changes in the situation in the past few days.

After Qiu Liping made tea for the three of them, she sat aside and absentmindedly flipped through a magazine while paying attention to what was happening outside.

The sound of a car horn was heard, and Qiu Liping subconsciously threw away the magazine in her hand and ran out.

"Son, son, why didn't you take me with you when you went to Chengcheng's house today?"

"Mom, I'm trying to develop a relationship with your future daughter-in-law, why do you, an elder, want to get involved?"

"Then I also want to cultivate a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship with her!"

"You can cultivate it later, but I have to be born with it, so please don't cause me any trouble."

Chi Yuan parked the car and walked into the house while talking to Qiu Liping, and was faced with three pairs of teasing eyes.

"Are you happy?"

"It's really good! I plan to go out with Chengcheng starting tomorrow. Her grandmother has already agreed to it."

"Tsk tsk! Xiaoyuan, how did you do it?"

Chi Yuan's second uncle Chi Bei had an eye that showed he was enjoying the show. Chi Yuan rubbed his nose and thought that he had to inform them about this matter, otherwise it would be another problem if it was exposed in the future.

"Boy, why didn't I know that I went out to dinner every day?"

"Xiao Yuan, your mother just went back to her parents' home a few days ago. I don't go out every day, do I?"

"And me, with our status, we are most afraid of forming cliques and factions, and you're still spreading rumors about me like this?"

Mr. Chi and Chi Yuan's parents all had surprised expressions. This kid was really mean, he dared to frame his elders like this just for his own little tricks.

"The process is not important. Aren't you also looking forward to the result?"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. It would be best if we can get it done by the time you graduate, so that I can have my great-grandson sooner."

The picture imagined by Grandpa Chi was so beautiful that Qiu Liping could vaguely see her future grandson being fat and cute.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyuan, you have to work harder, then I can be the youngest grandmother."

"It's getting more and more outrageous. We are still young, and we will definitely listen to the woman's opinion on this matter."

"That……"

"Mom, I'm a little tired after helping Cheng Cheng and the others clean up the house today. I'll go upstairs first."

When Chi Yuan saw that his mother was still trying to make trouble, he immediately got away, with a ready-made excuse.

Qiu Liping saw her son running upstairs quickly, still yelling.

"You are a person who has been trained in the army, but you complain of being tired after doing such a small task. This is too perfunctory!"

"Li Ping, let's not chase him so hastily. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I believe this kid knows what's going on."

Although Mr. Chi was a little anxious, he knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he comforted Qiu Liping.

"Oh, it's not that I don't have a daughter, so I want to raise my daughter-in-law as my own daughter!"

Qiu Liping finished speaking with a melancholy look, and glanced at Chi Nan with a hint of meaning. Chi Nan accidentally choked on the tea that had just reached his mouth and it went into his trachea, and he started coughing bitterly.

Chi Bei helped him calm down and asked his elder brother meaningfully.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? If you wanted a daughter, why didn't you just give birth to her then? Are you unable to give birth? That's not right. Isn't Xiaoyuan your child? Is there something else we don't know?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, don't guess blindly. It's not what you think."

"Uncle, let me tell you! When Xiaoyuan was little, he was always cold and not cute at all. I just wanted to have a caring daughter. But he stayed in the army all day long to get a promotion and never went home. Even when he went home, he just treated his home like a hotel. When he heard that I wanted to have a daughter, he always said to wait and wait. As he waited, something happened at home. Life was already difficult, let alone having a child."

Qiu Liping's tone was full of resentment. Old Man Chi also felt that his son was too career-oriented and caused him to miss out on a granddaughter. After glaring at him, he still spoke up for him.

"Liping, don't think about it anymore. Besides, it's lucky that my granddaughter didn't come then, otherwise she might not be able to keep her alive later."

Qiu Liping also knew what was going on, but she always felt a little unhappy.

"Dad, you're right. If I really let my daughter live a hard life with me, I might regret it."

Chi Nan put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her silently.

Chi Yuan did what he said. As soon as Jiang Yicheng walked out of the room, she saw Chi Yuan in her yard.

"So early?"

Jiang Yichen was still a little dazed, her hair was a little fluffy, but even without makeup it did not affect her beauty at all.

Ikegaki was even distracted for a moment, but came back to his senses under her stare, and calmly straightened her messy hair with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Didn't grandma ask me to come over for breakfast yesterday? It's still early, take your time to wash up, there's no rush."

"I know! I thought it was just a courtesy."

"I don't think so. When I came over today, grandma was very happy to see me. Well, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart."

"Humph! That depends on who it's because of!"

"Because of you! Okay, go wash up, I'll go over and help you first."

Seeing her tsundere look, a bit like a kitten acting coquettishly, Chi Yuan resisted the urge to touch her head and left the yard.

Jiang Yichen seemed to sense his subtle expression, but she didn't understand and simply ignored it and went to wash up.

The factory started work on the eighth day of the first lunar month. When Jiang Yichen and Chi Yuan came over, Tang Chao had just finished his work.

"Director Jiang, we are inspecting the work at the beginning of the year. Are there any rewards for starting work?"

Tang Chao was just joking, but who knew that Jiang Yichen's next sentence would make him drop his jaw.

"Yes! I'm here to give you a big gift. Do you want the shares?"

“Oh, my heart! Sister Jiang, are you kidding me? Is it the kind of shares I was thinking of?”

"Hmm! I think the time is right now, it's time to set up a company. You can help me register and submit the application. Set up this fruit factory as a separate company, and also register a logistics company and a security company. After the application is approved, the logistics company and the security company will be handed over to Uncle Xun and Uncle Hui. You just need to control the general direction, and let them handle the personnel arrangements themselves."

"You will be in charge of all three companies. You can slowly recruit the talents you need, but the name must be decided first. When these three companies grow up, I will give you 10% of the shares in each company. Of course, if it doesn't work out, my words are just a blank check."

"Get it done, of course I have to get it done! I won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and I'll rely on you to sleep on money."

Tang Chao was so shocked by Jiang Yichen's generous move that he saw stars and his blood began to boil.

"No, it's up to you. I just talk."

"Sister Jiang, don't be so modest. I believe that others may not be able to accomplish what you said, but you can definitely do it. Brother Chi, right?"

Tang Chao knew their current relationship and immediately made eyes at him.

"Ahem, indeed!"

Ikegaki was somewhat amused by Tang Chao's strange behavior, but also a little embarrassed.

"That's perfect, Chi Yuan. Go back tonight and tell Uncle Chi about my plan. I will accept as many people as they send this time. Of course, it can't be done all at once, but they can be sent in batches."

"Brother Chi, if we gather so many people from the army like this, will the country suspect that we have some ulterior motive?"

"Probably not. But the issue you raised does require approval from the higher-ups, and someone may come forward to discuss it with you at that time. Don't worry, my father and grandfather are there to back you up. As long as you don't break the law or do anything that harms the country, they will definitely support you."

"Brother Chi, the special period has just passed, and I am just preparing for a rainy day. If the higher-ups don't agree, we can recruit talents from society. Anyway, we are running a normal company, and we are not doing anything illegal."

"Tang Chao is right. There are indeed too many special people here. We still need to be vigilant. So, Tang Chao, you should apply for the company registration first and go through the procedures. As for Chi Yuan, we will wait for his news and make preparations for both scenarios."

"it is good!"

"Now let's talk about the factory's new year bonus. I see that you made a lot of profit last year. Take out 5% of the profit and give out bonuses to everyone in the factory, including yourself!"

"Thank you, Director Jiang. I would also like to express my gratitude on behalf of the workers in the factory."

"Don't flatter me. You are still working for me. I am just playing the long game to catch the bigger fish."

"This is also Jiang Taigong fishing - those who are willing will take the bait!"

Jiang Yicheng came here mainly for this matter, and when he left, Tang Chao took out a box.

"This is a gift from my grandfather. He finally returned to Beijing at the end of the year. He heard that you are my mentor, so he brought you a gem he got when he was stationed in northern Shaanxi."

"Gemstone? I can't accept it because it's so valuable. Please return it to your grandfather for me."

"Take it! My grandpa wouldn't want anything he gave away, and I feel like this thing is meant for you."

"Oh! Let me take a look first. If it's too expensive, I won't accept it."

Jiang Yichen took it and opened it casually, and a crystal clear red stone came into view.

The red color was so bright that it was eye-catching, and the inside of the stone was like crystal, as if you could see through it.

Jiang Yichen felt an inexplicable emotion rising in her heart again, and she knew it must be related to space.

"Snapped"

She decisively closed the box and looked at Tang Chao.

"I like this gift very much. Can you help me ask your grandfather where he found such a stone? I want to know its origin."

"Sister Jiang, do you want to enter the jewelry industry?"

"There is no plan for this at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the future. I just want to get in touch with them first."

"Sister Jiang, do you mean that there are good things in this kind of stone?"

"I don't know, but I think it looks very attractive, so I want to learn more about it."

"No problem, I'll ask my grandpa when I get home tonight. I forgot to tell you that I live with my grandparents now. My uncle's family hasn't been transferred back so soon, and since my mom is gone, I'll be there to take care of her."

"What is the family's attitude?"

"Tsk, he's done so many bad things that he doesn't dare to come to me. He feels guilty! My grandpa was transferred back to a higher position than before. My father, who is a spineless man, definitely wouldn't dare to show up. Even my grandpa wouldn't dare to show up this time. Even if he knew that I lived with my grandma and grandpa, he wouldn't dare to say a word."

"Haha! I've endured it for so many years, and finally I can stop being bullied by them. If I wasn't concerned about my grandfather's reputation, I would have wanted to set off some firecrackers in front of them."

"Don't go too far. Your grandfather's family is a flexible bunch. Don't let them take advantage of you and put your grandfather in a passive position."

"Really! Brother Chi, don't worry. My grandfather also said that we should slowly settle the accounts and not let them live too comfortably. Only by using a soft knife to sharpen people can we feel satisfied."

"Your grandpa is right. As long as you don't let them control you, he will find a way to deal with them. I'm just afraid that they will come to you and beg you for mercy, especially in public. No matter how you respond, it will be wrong."

"Brother Chi, you are right to remind me. Sister Jiang, you came at the perfect time. I just kept myself busy so that they can't find me. I also have to say hello to my grandfather."

Jiang Yichen would not restrict him in anything as long as he arranged things well.
