“Ah!” Xia Yue babbled. He grabbed the money tightly and smiled at Xia He, making everyone in the room laugh loudly.
“Look at this child! He knows how to grab money even at this age! He must have inherited Qiao Mei’s good genes and will definitely become a big boss in the future!” Xu Lan said with a smile.
“It’s good to be the big boss! We have someone to inherit the business now,” Xia Mao said happily.
“Father, you won’t force Xia Fan and Xia Yue to join the military?” Xia Wen asked curiously.
When they were young, no matter how much the three of them rejected the idea, they had to study at the military school. No matter how tough it was, they had to persevere. Even Xia Jun was strict about this. Although Xia He was a girl, there was no exception made. She was trained in the same way as a male soldier.
“The children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. Whatever they want to do in the future is up to them. I’m old and can’t interfere anymore!” Xia Mao said.
“That’s not true! Your father actually cares too much about them! He knows how hard it was for the few of you back then and he can’t bear to see his grandsons suffer as much as all of you did,” Xu Lan explained.
“Don’t undermine me on such a happy occasion! Keep me dignified!” Xia Mao whispered.
“Father, Mother, we also have a gift for you,” Xia He and Xia Wen said as they stood in front of Xia Mao and Xu Lan.
“Why are you two acting so formal? What’s going on?” Xu Lan asked curiously.
Xia He took out a box from her pocket and handed it to Xu Lan. Xu Lan opened the wooden box expectantly and saw a key inside. Xu Lan looked at Xia He in confusion and asked, “Why are you giving me a key?”
“After Eldest Brother and I made some money, we each bought a courtyard house nearby. We felt that you and Father lived too far axuvay from us, so we also bought one for you. The two of you can use the front yard part and the backyard part is for Grandfather. This way, our family can get together more often and it will also be easier for you to look after the children. It’s a gift from the three of us. We hope you like it,” Xia He explained.
Xia He had already discussed this matter with Qiao Mei before, so Qiao Mei definitely did not have any objections. She guessed that Deng Fan should be the only one who might object. After all, this meant he had more houses to renovate and there was no way of knowing when he would be able to get a vacation this year.
“Oh my, why did you spend the money on that! It’ll be so much better to keep that amount of money for yourselves!” Xu Lan said as she looked at the children with tears in her eyes.
She was definitely happy, but her heart still ached for the children. After all, it was not easy to earn money. Older folks like them already had a house and a
car and did not have to worry about their household expenses. Compared to them, the children needed the money more.
“Mother, we’ve already earned so much money in the past month. We’ll still have an endless stream of money coming in the future. Don’t worry and stay in the house we bought. You can move in once Deng Fan finishes renovating the house,” Xia Wen said.
“The house is already under renovation and you should be able to move in soon. I’ll get the workers to get it done as soon as possible,” Deng Fan said from the side.
“Sure! I didn’t expect to be able to enjoy life with my grandchildren! The two of you shouldn’t reject their gesture. It’s not bad for the whole family to live near one another,” Xia Jun said.
“Alright, we’ll take your advice,” Xu Lan said.
Xia Niao carried Xia Yue, Xu Lan carried Xia Xing and Xia Jun carried Xia Fan. Everyone gathered together and listened to the three little kids babbling at one another. They were probably talking in a language that only babies could understand. The three of them even looked like they were having a serious conversation.
“Tell me about how far your business has progressed,” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
Xia He wanted to monopolize the market and prevent the other photo studios from copying their business model. She had already started to hire people to go to other cities near the capital to take photos. The capital was already too small for their appetites.
“l believe that our business will spread far and wide very soon,” Xia He said proudly.
“Then have you thought of giving your company a name? When you can openly earn money next year, you can then buy a building and also develop the business into a national chain,” Qiao Mei said.
“You’re right! We haven’t considered this matter yet! Eldest Brother, what do you think?” Xia He asked as she looked at Xia Wen.
“I’ve thought of a name, ‘Cun Yi’. It means to store beautiful memories. A photo is a moment of happiness that’s frozen in time. I think this name is very suitable,” Xia Wen said..
