Chapter 473: Braised Meat Shop

The elderly woman said with a chuckle that although she hadn't watched Nan Nan grow up from a child, she had certainly watched her grow.

Walking step by step, this child was so busy and so tired, yet she still carved out time to pick them up for Beijing.

Such a good child; she hoped she would have more time to rest instead of always worrying about them, a few old folks.

An Yinan looked at the elderly Liu woman, who also nodded with a face full of smiles, "You know my temperament; I don't say things I don't mean."

"The eldest sister and I have discussed it; we will live together from now on and look after each other."

The two heads of the household had already agreed, and after thinking it over, she consented.

"That works, then one courtyard it is," An Yinan said.

"There is one more thing," the elderly man spoke up at this moment.

An Yinan looked over, and the young people playing cards looked over too; the elderly man looked at the group, all of them top students whose future development was limitless!

That era was, after all, going to pass.

"Is it okay to set up a stall or open a shop now?" the elderly man asked.

"It's okay; in Beijing, some restaurants and the Department Store are already being set up, and there are also some factories that have already started operating," An Yinan replied.

In the County, there were only some peddlers selling food, and many people were testing the waters of the authorities' intentions little by little.

However, no one dared to do anything big, as they were afraid of trouble after all.

That was why courtyards with shops in the County were so cheap right now.

An Yinan had found suitable ones and bought three; the shop belonging to Liu Meijie was one of them.

As for the other two, she had other uses for them.

"Then I have an idea, listen to it." The elderly man had been a businessman in the past; he had built such a large family fortune by fighting for it with his wits.

If someone else said it, he couldn't believe it.

But since it was Nan Nan who said it, he believed it completely and had also carefully considered its feasibility.

"Please speak," An Yinan put down her book; these days, she read whenever she had a little free time.

She was filling in the courses she had missed during that period, little by little.

"I want to open a braised meat shop," the elderly man said directly.

An Yinan put the book on the bed, "I have plenty of money, Grandpa and Grandma, you don't need to have any burden."

She had money, land, and shops; it was no exaggeration to say that these assets had already exceeded her expectations.

And with Guo Ge managing things, following the path they had planned, there was no need to worry at all in the future.

The elderly man and woman smiled at each other, "We knew you would say that," the elderly woman said softly.

"We've done business our whole lives; now that we're old, we don't want to be idle, so we discussed it with Liu Meizi and wanted to do a braised meat business. We won't even make much in a day, it's just to have a reason to do something, otherwise, are you just going to let us eat and sleep, sleep and eat?"

"We're old, we can't sleep anymore," the elderly woman said, and the elderly Liu woman nodded as well.

Clearly, the three old folks had already discussed it.

An Yinan looked at the three old folks; although none of them had stubborn temperaments, the matter they spoke of was indeed a reality.

"Nan Nan, let us do it."

"It's not just the elders who need to let go of the younger generation; sometimes, the younger generation also needs to let go!"

In theory, the elderly man and woman were not short of money; they still had many savings at the bottom of their trunks, and now that life was better, these things could be brought out.

But what they wanted was a sense of being needed.

To be needed by the younger generation, to be needed by Nan Nan.

Instead of being parasites eating her food and drinking her drink.

Actually, An Yinan had very little contact with elders; in her previous life, she was an orphan, and the elder was the Dean.

In this life, she had her grandmother and Grandpa Chen, but before she appeared, everything had already been decided, and she didn't need to think about what to do.

This was the first time she was settling elders, and she truly had no experience.

"Follow the wishes of the elderly man and woman," Chen Xun said beside her.

An Yinan pursed her lips, "Daily quotas, and you are not allowed to tire yourselves out for the sake of making money."

"Good." As soon as the elderly woman heard this, she knew Nan Nan had agreed.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Still, have someone get the permits properly, so as to avoid anyone looking for trouble later."

"We'll listen to you!" The elderly man also nodded in agreement.

The group sat on the train; the day before, they were still excitedly playing cards, but afterward, everyone was listless.

An Yinan's daily routine was very regular; apart from reading, eating, and sleeping, it was just reading, eating, and sleeping.

"Finally here!" Leaving that oppressive train carriage, it felt like the air outside was sweet.

The person speaking was actually the usually steady Qiu Hua.

Xie Yuanyuan had been running around to various places recently and had instead become accustomed to the train carriage.

It was Qiu Hua, who hadn't really gone out much since arriving in Beijing, who was now unable to help but sigh.

"What are your arrangements?" An Yinan looked at Yun Qi.

Yun Qi pointed to the car on the side, which he had had someone drive over after confirming the departure date.

"I'll take your Xiue first; you all make your own arrangements." Although traveling was tiring, he would be very busy later, so he would let them have some time alone in the afternoon.

Li Xiue's face turned a little red, but she did not refuse.

"Then I'll go first?" Li Xiue looked at her companions.

"Go, go, don't forget to return to the Xiao Yuan," An Yinan instructed.

"We're leaving too; I have to enter a project, so I'll take Yuanyuan for a walk." Xie Shuyang pulled Xie Yuanyuan, and the two walked away directly.

An Yinan looked at the remaining few people, as well as the large luggage, "Shall we go too?"

Chen Xun grabbed her, "How do you want to go? Wait for me."

Not two or three minutes after he left, two jeeps drove over.

"Alright, get in the car." Chen Xun picked up the luggage directly, placed it in the back seat of one car, and after helping the old man and old woman into the car, he then took An Yinan and Zhao Qiu Hua to the other car.

"Where did you get these?" An Yinan blinked her eyes.

Chen Xun ruffled her hair; no matter how many years had passed, she was always like this, and as soon as she blinked, he would surrender.

"My position allows for a car!" Chen Xun said with a smile.

As for the other one, he borrowed his grandfather's car.

Although the two cars were a bit crowded, they could still make it back.

In the modern era, one could still hail a taxi, and they would even line up to go.

But in Beijing now, there are yellow minivans, though they aren't that easy to hail.

"So that's how it is. Impressive." An Yinan praised him.

Chen Xun smiled and didn't say anything; the two of them got into the car.

Along the way, An Yinan held a book the whole time, and after she had read for a full half hour, Chen Xun blocked the content on the book.

An Yinan looked up at him with an expression of "why," which could be understood without her needing to speak.

"Don't read much while riding in a car, it hurts your eyes." The light was always changing; although she was in a hurry, it wasn't a matter of just this little while.

"Oh!" An Yinan put the book into her backpack and then closed her eyes.

"Zhang Qian has also been transferred over recently." Chen Xun spoke up.

"He's coming too?" An Yinan's eyes opened, sparkling and a bit surprised.

How could the Northeast Military Region let him go?
