Not long after Jiang Li left home, Jiang Yi came to the village office.
In order to call Teacher Shen, he said a lot of good things to the village cadres and finally got permission.
Jiang Yi dialed the number given by Teacher Shen with a nervous mood.
He even dialed a wrong number due to his lack of familiarity, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
There was a busy tone on the other end of the line until a mechanical female voice said, "No one answered the number you dialed."
Jiang Yi put down the phone with a dejected look on his face. After a while, he called again without giving up, but the result was the same.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but call again. After he called three times in a row, the village cadres finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Jiang Yi, if you can't get through today, don't call them. Maybe they're out of town for something and can't answer your call."
"But I have an emergency, and it's not easy for me to make a phone call."
Jiang Yi didn't want to give up, so the village cadres could only tell him to come back tomorrow.
Jiang Yi returned home dejected. He was very sad that he hadn't accomplished his task, but since no one answered the phone, there was no need to rush the matter.
Jiang Yi did not return to his own home, but went to the captain's house. He wanted to help Aunt Yao take care of his sister's child.
As soon as Jiang Yi arrived, he helped with the work. When the child cried, he held the child. When the child was hungry, he fed the child milk powder. When it was time to cook, he quickly lit a fire and cooked, and then washed and cut vegetables.
Jiang Yi worked at Aunt Yao's house for a day, just like when his sister was at home. He didn't dare to slack off at all and was even more serious than before.
Even if he didn't do his job well, his sister wouldn't blame him. But now his sister has to go on a long trip, and Aunt Yao is in trouble. Jiang Yi can only work harder to reduce her burden, which can be regarded as helping his sister.
The day passed like this, and the next morning Jiang Yi came to the village office again.
Because he had already made arrangements with the village cadres yesterday, Jiang Yi didn't need to explain this time and could just make the call.
The call still didn't go through. Jiang Yi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The villagers told him that the other party might still be sleeping in the morning, so he could try again at noon or in the afternoon.
Jiang Yi thought about it and it made sense, so he continued to go to Aunt Yao's house to help take care of the children.
I came to the office at noon, but the call was still not connected.
His parents wouldn't be back for two days. Shen Changan thought there was no one at home, and it was so cold and deserted that he couldn't even enjoy his meals.
He devoted all his attention to the factory he opened with Zhou Yongnan.
This factory was originally state-owned, but its operating efficiency was poor, it was making losses almost every year, and was basically on the verge of bankruptcy.
After Shen Changan learned about the situation of this factory, he was very interested in the business run by the factory.
They used their connections to take control of the factory and successfully transformed state-owned enterprises into private ones.
However, a considerable price was paid in the process, which I will not go into details here.
The factory had ready-made equipment and workers. After taking over, they changed their business thinking and re-expanded sales channels. Although there was a small loss in the first year, they turned losses into profits in the second year.
In recent years, the factory has gradually gotten back on track and they don't need to spend too much time and energy on management.
However, Shen Changan is away all year round. If he doesn't visit the factory, the workers probably won't remember him as their boss.
The factory is currently rushing to produce a batch of goods, and will be closed for the holiday immediately after the goods are shipped, so someone is needed to keep an eye on it.
Shen Changan thought that everything was fine at home, so he stayed in the factory for two consecutive days.
Finally, under his leadership, the batch of goods was successfully delivered, and Shen Changan breathed a sigh of relief.
He returned home after having lunch outside at noon, but before he could sit down to rest for a while, his parents came back.
Shen Changan enthusiastically went over to help them with their luggage, and chatted with their parents for a while.
"Mom and Dad, I've been back for several days. You guys are so lucky to be traveling for so many days that you don't even have to take care of your son."
It was rare for Shen Changan to have some intimate words with his parents, so there was actually some joking in his tone.
Father Shen was a dignified man, not used to his son being so close, so he frowned and began to criticize his son.
"How dare you say that? Look at you these past few years. How many days a year have you been at home? I told you to join the system a long time ago, but you refused to listen and insisted on doing temporary work everywhere."
"Being a temporary worker is fine, but you also got into trouble like that last year. Luckily, no one was killed. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get away with it now."
When Shen Changan finally came back, his father scolded him. Fathers all hope their sons will become successful. Although Shen Changan is excellent, he has a rebellious bone in his head and always does things that are unorthodox.
However, he is quite calm and has not caused any trouble in all these years. If the family had not caught him with the incident last year, Father Shen would not have found any reason to criticize this excellent son who has no shortcomings.
"Alright, alright, son, it's not easy for you to come back once, so just say less. What happened last time is over, don't keep bringing it up. It makes my son feel uncomfortable."
Mother Shen came forward and hugged her son's arm affectionately, then pulled him aside and started urging him to get married again.
"Son, you said you're already so old and retired from the army a few years ago. You said before that you didn't want to get married too early or enter the system too early, for fear that your life would be restricted."
"But you've been out there for so many years now, and your parents are getting old. Your dad will be retiring next year. If you don't hurry up and get in, you won't be able to rely on him later."
"After the New Year, don't go out anymore. Mom will introduce you to some outstanding girls. You should get a stable job and get married soon. Mom is still looking forward to holding a big fat grandson!"
As soon as his mother mentioned that she wanted to hold her grandson, Shen Changan's mood instantly became high, thinking in his heart, Mom, your grandson has been born, but the process is a bit shameful.
Shen Changan had to test it out. If his mother could accept it, he would bravely tell her about it. If she couldn't accept it, he would wait a while and think of other ways later.
"Mom, where are my childhood photos? I want to see what I looked like when I was a kid."
"The photos are with your grandma. You know your grandma is old, and she loves nostalgia. She wants to see your childhood photos and wonders when she will be able to hold her great-grandson."
Just as Shen's mother was about to take advantage of the situation and persuade her son to focus on marriage earlier, Shen Changan had already let go of his mother's hand and turned to walk out.
"Hey, kid, where are you going now that we just got back?"
Mother Shen immediately chased after him, and Shen Changan put on his shoes and raised his head and said with a smile.
"I'm going to ask grandma for some old photos."
