Chapter 487: Settlement Arrangements
On Sunday, Yan Jiekuang got up and went to make breakfast. He did not wake Ji Lian up, wanting her to sleep a little longer. Ji Lian also went to bed quite late last night after coaxing her daughter.

Yan Jiekuang was cooking when Shi Lei walked in. Yan Jiekuang glanced at him and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? You finally have a day's rest."

"Dad, I want to get married. Jingyi and I have agreed to get married this National Day. It just needs to be simple." Shi Lei said hesitantly.

Yan Jiekuang was stunned and asked, "Jingyi won't graduate for another year, right? Why are you getting married so early? I don't have any objection, but why should my eldest son's wedding be simple? If you're going to get married, you should have a proper one."

Shi Lei was touched when he heard this. He didn't want to spend too much. Yan Jiekuang saw his concerns and said, "As for me, this trip to XZ has more or less gained something. Our generation has been through hardships. You should learn to live in the present. Besides, it would be fine if we didn't have the conditions, but now that we have them, why should we put ourselves in a difficult position? Okay, you and Jingyi should discuss it carefully. As for the wedding banquet, wedding room, and motorcade ceremony, you don't have to worry about them. Have you forgotten your Aunt Yang Lifen? We don't have to worry about her with her around."

After hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, Shi Lei no longer insisted. He knew that in addition to the travel company, Yang Lifen also provided wedding photography and other services, so he just had to leave it to her.

Yan Jiekuang told Ji Lian about this matter when he was having breakfast in the morning. Ji Lian was very happy to take the responsibility. After all, Yang Lifen was under her care. Shi Lei had no choice but to look at the malicious eyes of Big Fat and Little Fat and glared at them. It seemed that these two brothers were going to do something weird, so he had to be vigilant.

After breakfast, Yan Jiekuang and his wife took their three children to Nanchizi Street. Sister Lu Si, who opened the door, stared at Yan Jiekuang with wide eyes and said, "You're back? When did you come back? Why did you come just now? The old lady always mentions you. Come in quickly. Who are these three children?"

As Yan Jiekuang walked in with Lu Sijie, he explained to her the origins of the three children. Lu Sijie admired Yan Jiekuang's courage very much. If it were her, she would not be able to adopt three children at once.

When he walked to the backyard, he saw Madam Wanzhi standing at the door of the main hall, looking at Yan Jiekuang with a smile. Yan Jiekuang hurried over and said, "Grandma, did you miss me?"

"Well, if you don't come back, I won't remember you." Mrs. Wanzhi said with a smile.

Yan Jiekuang said, "How can that be possible? I'm back now, and I've brought you a gift. The Living Buddha's Buddhist beads are prepared just for you."

As he spoke, he handed over a red cloth bag as if presenting a treasure. Mrs. Wanzhi took it and said, "No hurry. Introduce the three children to me. Lian'er, let's go into the house."

After that, he pulled Ji Lian, who was pushing the stroller into the house. Yan Jiekuang told the story of what happened in Shanxi and the life stories of his three children from beginning to end. Wanzhi looked at the girl in the stroller tenderly and said, "She is lucky to have met Jie Kuang from our family. Okay, I'll talk to Ji Lian, you go and cook for me."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he realized that the old lady was craving for his food, so he smiled and left the main room to go to the kitchen in the front yard. Chen Liang wanted to come over to help, but Yan Jiekuang stopped him and said, "Your Aunt Lu is here, so there's no need for you. Just stay in the back and accompany the Madam."

At noon, Yan Jiekuang prepared six dishes and a soup. It wasn't too much. Yan Jiekuang thought to himself that this time he was destined to be a cook.

Yan Jiekuang and his wife accompanied Mrs. Wanzhi for lunch. The children all felt that Mrs. Wanzhi was very kind and wanted to be close to her. They kept circling around her, especially Chen Fang, who held Mrs. Wanzhi's hand and would not let go.

After dinner, they chatted with Mrs. Wanzhi for a while, then Yan Jiekuang and his wife took their children and left. Yan Jiekuang asked Mrs. Wanzhi to take a nap and have some rest.

Yan Jiekuang returned to Yuer Hutong in the afternoon. Ji Lian said hello and went back to the company, saying that she had something to do. Yan Jiekuang took his three children to play at home.

Yan Jiekuang held Nannan in his arms and teased her. As long as she was in Yan Jiekuang's arms, she would not cry or make a fuss. Xiaojin, who was lying at his feet, lay at Yan Jiekuang's feet with his eyes closed to rest.

Yan Jiekuang looked at the backyard and thought that the second floor was now full and occupied by the children. Even Xiaohai and Xixi were opposite his bedroom. The three children could only choose one room from Xiaohai and Xixi's rooms. Yan Jiekuang decided to move Xiaohai to the second floor.

In the evening, Yan Jiekuang specially made Xiaohai's favorite braised pork, and when it was time to eat, he specially placed a bowl of braised pork in front of Xiaohai. Xiaopang looked at his father who was a little abnormal, and asked Xiaohai, "What's wrong with you again? Our dad is a little abnormal, why did he specially make braised pork for you?" Xiaohai said with a bitter face, "No, it's just a lost car. Didn't you accompany me to buy it this afternoon? Didn't you forget?"

Xiao Pang looked at Xiao Hai suspiciously and shook his head, saying, "It can't be this. My mother didn't say anything when she gave me the money. I guess he wants to get something from you. You better be careful."

Ji Lian was also very curious about what Yan Jiekuang was up to. Yan Jiekuang was preparing dinner and said to Xiao Hai with a smile, "How is it? Xiao Hai, is the braised pork delicious?"

Xiao Hai looked at his father and said, "Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I didn't cause any trouble. You're making me scared."

Yan Jiekuang still smiled and said, "Xiao Hai, look, you have a younger brother and sister again, don't you have to show some appreciation?"

"Ah, I don't have much money. I have already used up this month's pocket money, and I have to wait until next month to show for it." Xiao Hai said, shaking his head.

Yan Jiekuang said, "That's not what I meant. Look, your brother and sister don't have a room either. Can you please be more modest and move to the second floor next to your fourth sister?"

Xiao Hai turned his head in horror and looked at Shi Li, quickly shook his head and said, "Dad, let Xixi go, she is close to Fourth Sister."

Shi Li glared at Xiao Hai and said, "Am I that scary? Besides, you are not ashamed to let your sister go upstairs every day. Come with me, do you hear me?"

Xiao Hai had a sad face and nodded with difficulty, then he turned his grief and anger into appetite, eating the braised pork in big mouthfuls and never looked up again.

Chen Liang looked at Xiao Hai, feeling a little overwhelmed. He was about to talk to Yan Jiekuang, but Yan Jiekuang said, "You are such a little kid, just listen to me. You don't have to be humble to your brother. Besides, you have to share a room with your sister."

Chen Liang then lowered his head to eat, looking at Xiao Hai from time to time. In fact, it didn't matter whether Xiao Hai went to the second floor or not, he simply wanted to stay away from Shi Li.

Ji Lian tried her best to control her emotions and not let herself laugh, but Xiaopang and Dapang were no match for her. They put down their bowls and ran outside to laugh loudly. Xiaohai became even more depressed when he heard their voices.

The next day, everyone went to work and school. Yan Jiekuang sent his daughter to his mother's house, and drove Chen Liang and his sister to Fangshan.

When they arrived in Fangshan, Li Dong had already found someone to arrange the itinerary for Chen Liang and his sister, which was to go to the small zoo, and he followed Yan Jiekuang to the office.

Yan Jiekuang looked at the planning plan and renderings, and he felt very satisfied. At the same time, Liu deeply understood what Yan Jiekuang had told him. This was a typical European-style villa, featuring a pastoral landscape and retaining the natural scenery, in an all-white European villa style.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Don't use the company's money this time. Ask Liu Tong to give me an account number later and I will transfer the money to you separately. This will be considered my personal investment."

Li Dong nodded in admiration, and then the two of them discussed the relocation of the farm. The livestock farm had been completed in Inner Mongolia and had been relocated there as a whole. Only the vegetable base in Shandong still had some key issues to be discussed, and the dispute was currently in a tug of war.

Yan Jiekuang was just asking casually and had no intention of getting involved, but he told Li Dong that this industry had considerable potential for development and that more cooperation with scientific research institutions would lead to a win-win situation. Li Dong also deeply agreed.
