Chapter 1488: Property Acquisition
"Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll make up for this money to you in the future."
Just based on the sales of this wine, two years will be enough.
"No need, this is for the five children."
Lv Beiguang just laughed, knowing his wife has money. But what’s owed still needs to be made up.
The next day, Han Xiangjun handed over the money and accounts to Lv Beiguang.
"Old Han, here’s fifteen thousand for you."
Han Xiangjun raised an eyebrow, "What’s this for?"
"My wife said this is for the five children. No need for me to spend money, she’ll return it to Xinyu when we go back."
"Haha, you have the best luck, don’t you?"
Lv Beiguang just laughed, indeed feeling much happier since getting married. That kind of fulfillment from the heart.
"Do you have to go back tomorrow?"
"Absolutely. Now Jianbin, Shijing, and Xiao Qiang are quite capable. Otherwise, how could I just leave? If it weren’t for Jing Chu having a baby, I would definitely still go to the South this year."
"Mm, I received a letter from there. Everything’s going well, don’t worry about it. In a few years, things will be alright. The brewery in the South will definitely open."
"I’m looking forward to it. When the time comes, I’ll let you taste the cellar-aged wine from there."
At noon, Yang Jiu Long’s driver came again to pick them up.
This time, Yang Chenggong and Wu Fengying also came along. Last night they heard that the Village Chief Li from Li Family Village had arrived, and they were genuinely grateful to this Village Chief Li. He really took good care of the children.
The Yang Family was really very enthusiastic. Jing Chen approached Han Xiangjun, "Grandpa Han, can you take me to buy gifts this afternoon? I brought money."
"Oh? How much did you bring?"
"I brought it all. Over a hundred yuan. I want to use this money to buy gifts for my uncles and aunts."
"Alright. I’ll take you there this afternoon."
Wu Fengying also invited Qu Xiaoli and Yang Xiuqin out to play, but they declined. "Yu Jie’s mother, I’m not going anywhere. I’m leaving tomorrow; I just want to hold my grandson."
Wu Fengying understood this, "Sigh, who knows when you’ll be able to visit again next time!"
Qu Xiaoli just laughed. No matter how good this place is, she can’t stay. If it weren’t for her grandson, she definitely wouldn’t have come over.
After lunch, Yang Jiu Long drove them back, and Han Xiangjun took Jing Chen to the Overseas Chinese Store.
Upon arriving here, Jing Chen seemed deflated, touching his money, realizing it wasn’t enough to buy much.
"What’s wrong?" He seems deflated.
"Grandpa Han, this amount isn’t enough to buy good gifts. After looking just now, maybe I’ll buy a pen for each uncle and aunt."
Han Xiangjun smiled and nodded, "Alright, this is your greatest sincerity."
Jing Chen calculated, "Uncles Shi Jing and Jianbin, and Ah Bao. Together with Xiao Qiang, Uncles from my maternal side: four from Fourth Granduncle’s house, two from Second Granduncle’s house, and three from Granduncle’s house. Plus one from my big uncle’s house and twins from my great-granduncle’s house."
Han Xiangjun laughed, "Wow, that’s nineteen in total. You plan to buy nineteen pens, is your money enough?"
"I checked earlier, four and a half yuan each. I’m good with buying pens; leftover money will be used for candies for little buddies."
Han Xiangjun nodded, this kid is truly impressive.
Finally, he picked two hair clips, one for his aunt and one for his little sister.
"Why not buy clips for your Aunt Feifei and Aunt Tingting?"
"Aunt Feifei doesn’t like them, Aunt Tingting has plenty already."
"Not buying gifts for your granduncle and big uncle?"
Jing Chen gritted his teeth, "Fine, then I’ll buy two more pens."
In the end, Han Xiangjun purchased ten kilograms of milk candies, "Jing Chen, this is from Grandpa Han. Take it back for your little buddies to enjoy."
Jing Chen looked at Han Xiangjun conflicted, "Grandpa Han, then it’s not counted as if I gave to them?"
"Why wouldn’t it count? You’re the one bringing it back."
Jing Chen pondered for a while, "Alright, I’ll tell them it’s sugar from Grandpa Han."
Han Xiangjun affectionately patted Jing Chen’s head, what a good kid.
Li Xue and Guodong also went to the building to buy gifts for family, purchasing many pastries, perfect for New Year’s visits.
Chaoyang drove the rest to the photo studio.
The elders all took pictures with Chenxi, even the usually camera-shy Li Yungui and Lv Beiguang took quite a few with their grandchildren.
In the evening, the whole family gathered at home to eat dumplings. Jing Chu really wasn’t willing to see family leave, but knew keeping them wasn’t realistic either.
The next day, although still reluctant, they had to send them away.
The Yang Family also loaded a truck with gifts, half of which were for these two families, and each child especially received a big red envelope, four each.
Jing Chu, watching the departing truck, was tearful and dazed.
Chaoyang didn’t know how to comfort her, thinking it was enough to be with his wife and kids.
On the way back, Qu Xiaoli was holding back, just thinking of returning home; already into December, the eldest daughter-in-law was taking care of a group of boys, breaking her heart. Thus, despite the discomfort, she didn’t stop.
After they left, Jing Chu felt listless for several days, naturally a very family-oriented person. Chaoyang was careful around her those days.
By the time Li Yungui and the others got home, it was already the tenth of December.
Upon reaching home, Qu Xiaoli lay down, unable to move, scaring Wang Menglin. She hurriedly ran around to help.
"Menglin, mom’s fine, I’ll be better tomorrow. Just feel uneasy from sitting too long in the car."
Li Yungui immediately distributed the items brought back from the Capital to the two families.

"How’s it going?" Wei Kaiyun asked with a smile.
Li Yungui understood what Wei Kaiyun meant, "No matter how good, it’s just not for me."
"You’ll get used to it over time."
"I’d never live outside unless absolutely necessary," Li Yungui sighed.
"By the way, this is from the Yang Family for you, and this is from Old Han. These are from Jing Chu and Chaoyang, and this box is from Yang Run Tai for Feifei."
Wei Kaiyun scoffed, that guy really knows how to please the daughter, giving things Feifei loves. The look of hesitation on her face showed she was reluctant to refuse.
"Alright, I’m off to the Tao Family."
Li Yungui stayed busy until evening and returned to see his wife hadn’t come out, which scared him.
"Xiaoli, how are you?"
"It’s nothing, just need a good night’s sleep to recover. The long ride was unpleasant."
"I didn’t like it either. Shall we eat inside instead?"
"Forget it, let’s eat outside, so the children don’t worry."
The couple came out and saw Jing Chen giving gifts to the uncles.
Each received a pen and a handful of the milk candies, "Uncles, these candies are from Grandpa Han. After buying pens, I didn’t have money left."
The elders felt quite embarrassed, knowing the kid probably spent all his New Year’s money.
Qu Xiaoli looked at Jing Chen, deeply moved.
