In the latter half of 1999, Jiang Village was confirmed for demolition. However, in the first half of the year, An Jianping's family did two major things: First, they sold two plots of resident...
Chapter 288 So, what do you think of this investment?
Seeing that Dong Hongcai didn't react for a while, the An family thought he was embarrassed.
However, Dong Hongcai was thinking about how to start the conversation.
In a moment of impulse, he fired his boss.
Dong Hongcai did indeed have no ideas for a period of time.
There are very few car repair shops in Rongdi now.
After leaving that company, it won't be easy to find a suitable job again.
So he went back to working with his uncles.
But as he continued working, he also found it rather boring.
After much thought, he finally came up with a solution.
But this method is something his family can't help him with.
So he told his family and went to his aunt's house.
But when he actually arrived at his aunt's house, Dong Hongcai hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to start the conversation.
Throughout the meal, An Songyu could see Dong Hongcai's hesitation.
If it were anyone else, An Songyu really wouldn't care too much.
But thinking back to when the demolition was being carried out, this guy was the first one to come and notify them.
So, after the meal, An Songyu asked with great curiosity, "Cousin Dong, how's your car repair training going?"
Dong Hongcai was slightly taken aback and looked up in disbelief.
But he saw An Songyu looking at him with encouragement.
For a moment, Dong Hongcai almost thought he had misread it.
After all, he had never mentioned that thought to his aunt's family, or even to his own family.
However, after truly recognizing the encouragement in An Songyu's eyes, Dong Hongcai, who had previously lacked confidence, felt a surge of courage.
Who cares? Even his younger sisters have built ladders for him.
If he still can't catch it, then he deserves to live his life like this forever.
"I think I've learned it fairly well, but there's still a lot of room for improvement." When talking about his car repair skills, Dong Hongcai tried his best to maintain a humble attitude, but you could still see the confidence on his face.
Jiang Shanshan shook her head, somewhat speechless.
This child is so young, where did he learn such polite talk?
“His parents said he was doing well in his studies. He even managed to tinker with the village’s nearly scrapped tractor and make it usable again.” Jiang Shanshan couldn’t help but laugh as she thought of what her sister and brother-in-law had said.
The demolition of Jiangcun village didn't just make their family rich.
And their maternal family.
However, compared to the An family, which separated from the main family early on, her maternal family still had a large extended family to support.
Even so, it's perfectly fine to call back married daughters from time to time to help them out.
In the past, Jiang Shanshan would never miss a single visit to Jiangcun.
But ever since they moved out of Jiangcun.
She was busy with her sisters-in-law and other family members, but she ended up feeling more and more distant from her own family.
Especially after she took on the responsibility of running the fruit shop alone and also had to participate in other family matters.
Jiang Shanshan couldn't even remember the last time she had had enough time to go back to her parents' home.
It was after everyone in Jiangcun moved to Happiness Garden.
Jiang Shanshan finally regained the convenience she used to have in the village.
Especially since the children were going to school, her husband went to Fengyin Bay again.
Even my in-laws went to the reservoir.
Occasionally, Jiang Shanshan would not eat with her sisters-in-law.
Instead, she went directly to her parents' home for a meal.
I naturally had more opportunities to meet my sister.
Naturally, I knew a lot more about my sister's family.
However, when Jiang Shanshan mentioned the tractor in the village, the people who had settled down hadn't yet realized what was going on.
It wasn't until An Jianping hesitantly asked, "It's not one of those that the village collective used to buy, is it?"
After all, living conditions have improved nowadays, and many families can afford to buy their own tractors for convenience.
But if we're talking about people who can truly be called part of the village, then it's probably just those old folks from the past.
Jiang Shanshan nodded affirmatively: "It's one of those old tractors that's even older than Hongcai."
Dong Hongcai, who was standing next to him, was a little embarrassed by the praise.
He quickly said, "That's because the materials used in the past were good, and the villagers valued it. Even though it can't be opened anymore, it wasn't completely abandoned there."
Otherwise, no matter how good something is, if it's not properly managed, it will probably rust beyond recognition after three to five years.
Even if he were highly capable, it would be difficult for him to fix it.
"But that thing is really older than you, and you can still make it move. That's really amazing!" The An family members couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
It's clear that Dong Hongcai genuinely enjoys car repair.
Then someone asked with concern, "Your aunt just said you're unemployed? What's going on?"
"Ah... this! My boss made some money and felt that he would have better opportunities in a different place," Dong Hongcai said casually.
He didn't mention at all that his boss had already set his sights on his relatives' family.
"Later, I also tried to find a car repair shop in Rongdi... but they were either too far away, or they were short-staffed, and some places weren't quite suitable either." Dong Hongcai scratched his head sheepishly.
When he was in the industry, he always heard some insider information.
So even if a store was short-staffed, he didn't try working there.
To be honest, Dong Hongcai still wants to make a living through his skills and doesn't really have any thoughts about making quick money.
"So, what is Hongcai planning to do with us this time?" An Jianping's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.
Dong Hongcai's face flushed instantly. He shook his head somewhat embarrassedly, then nodded as if he had made up his mind.
"Well... I was thinking that a lot of people would buy cars after the Jiangcun demolition, so I was thinking of getting some tools myself and being able to provide door-to-door car repairs?"
Dong Hongcai's idea wasn't entirely complete either. After tentatively speaking, he felt something was amiss and quickly added:
"It's just an idea of mine. I came here this time to ask my aunt and uncle for advice. If possible, I'll rent a house in the city."
This child... The An family couldn't help but sigh when they heard about it.
He has skills and isn't greedy.
Thinking it over, An Songlin said, half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Have you ever thought about partnering with us? We'll provide the money to open the shop, and you'll provide the skills, and we can start this car repair business right away?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Hongcai's eyes widened instantly.
He looked at the crowd with disbelief and a mixture of excitement and disbelief.
But in the end, his gaze fell on Jiang Shanshan.
Jiang Shanshan showed no intention of offering him any advice, instead saying directly, "Why don't you talk to Song Lin?"
After all, that kid is both smart and rich.
This matter... even though they are her relatives.
But if Songlin really wanted to partner with him, she would definitely support him 100%.
But An Songlin clearly had no intention of ignoring Jiang Shanshan's family. After carefully inquiring about the details, he bluntly asked everyone:
"So, what do you think of this investment? Is it worthwhile?"
