Chapter 295
Winter vacation is coming, which means Jian Hui and Yuan Jing will be separated for a while, making both of them feel reluctant.
Jian Hui wished he could turn Yuan Jing into a pendant so he could carry it with him, but in the end he could only watch Yuan Jing prepare to take home lots of bags, some of which he and Yuan Jing had selected together. Jian Hui was very dedicated in choosing gifts for his future father-in-law.
"Do you think that if our father wears the thermal underwear I picked for me, he will think more highly of me and marry you to me sooner?" Jian Hui hugged Yuan Jing's waist and refused to leave.
Yuan Jing pulled his cheeks apart and said, "Don't even think about it. At least before I graduate, my father is unlikely to consider this issue." He patted his face and coaxed him, "Okay, if you don't leave now, you will miss the train ticket you bought and will have to catch the next train. When you get there, you will be so busy that you won't even have time to think about me. If you finish your work there early, you can come back when school starts."
Jian Hui leaned forward and kissed him, saying, "Don't you know what the trains of this era are like? They are only late, but I can catch them. All right, I'll go and work hard to make a lot of money, and you stay at home and don't flirt with other men, not even me!"
Yuan Jing kicked him in annoyance. Jian Hui deliberately made a grimace and hopped out of the house carrying his luggage. Yuan Jing smiled, picked up his luggage and followed him. They were both going to the station anyway, and when they got to the station, one would go to the city to catch the train, and the other would go back home to the town.
After bidding farewell to Yuan Jing, Jian Hui missed the means of communication in his previous life more and more. He could contact Yuan Jing by phone and video chat anytime and anywhere. It was not as easy as it is now to even make a phone call. But maybe he could put more effort in this regard.
Yuan Jing was welcomed by the villagers when he returned to the village, because the legal publicity he proposed and the legal stories he collected made Yan Changjiang's family have a very good reputation in the village. Even if Yan Changjiang was not wrong before, Yang Lan and Yan Jiabao were arrested and imprisoned one after another, and some people sympathized with Yan Changhai's family. They were so unlucky, but Yan Changjiang was still so heartless. He said he would not associate with them anymore, as the old saying goes, broken bones are still connected by tendons.
But no one expected Yuan Jing to do this. More and more people in the village spoke up for Yuan Jing's family, and the other voices became weaker. How many educated people are like Yuan Jing who still care about the welfare of the entire village?
Seven of the eight pigs raised by Yang Shu were sold for a good price, which allowed Yuan Jing's family to have a prosperous new year. After the remaining pig was slaughtered, the family kept half of it and asked the villagers to buy a lot of the remaining half, and some were used as New Year gifts. As for the eldest wife, Yan Changjiang not only gave enough pension money, but also gave each of the two elders a set of clothes, and also gave them pork and fish. No one who saw the gifts Yan Changjiang gave could find fault with them.
This led to the two elders' immediate opposition when they wanted to tell the villagers that Yan Changjiang was unfilial. They were still wearing clothes bought by Yan Changjiang and eating pork sent by Yan Changjiang. How could they be called unfilial? Did Yan Changjiang have to move all his property to the old man's house to make the two elders happy?
"It's such a young age, and you still favor boys over boys. Haha, I will send my little boy to school next year. I don't ask him to be as successful as Jing in the future, but I will be satisfied if he can be half as successful as him."
"That's right. Didn't you see the clothes Changjiang and his wife are wearing? They were all bought from the county town by Jing'er with his own royalties. They are new from the inside out! Oh, none of my three boys are as filial as Jing'er. They only care about their own families and never think about an old lady like me who has worked so hard to raise them. What's the point?"
Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu were very happy. They showed off in a low-key way. They put on their new clothes and went out for a walk. Others said that their family had become rich and they both had new clothes to wear. Then they grinned and said that they didn't buy them. Jing Ge'er brought them back from the county town with his royalties and asked him to keep the money for himself. He insisted on buying them. How could he not wear them after buying them? That would be too wasteful. So they had to wear them out and let everyone laugh at them.
During the Spring Festival these days, families with extra money would at most buy new clothes for their children. However, a few adults, like Yan Changjiang and his wife, were dressed in new clothes from head to toe, making the villagers jealous.
"Wow, the material and style are so fashionable. I've seen it sold at the supply and marketing cooperative in the city, and I heard it costs this much!" The man held up five fingers, causing the others to gasp. A nightgown would cost fifty yuan, and the entire outfit for that couple must have cost several hundred yuan. Wow, some families only earn this much in a whole year.
"You don't need to worry about your brother Jing anymore. Not only will he be on the government payroll, but he can also save a lot just by writing articles throughout the year."
"Yang Shu, ask Brother Jing to give my kid some pointers. Maybe he can write an article and get it published."
Yang Shu was dumbfounded. After showing off for so long, he was still looking for trouble for his own brother Jing? How could Jing have the time? Besides, this could be taught by guidance? There were so many literate people, but how many of them could publish novels and make money?
"Don't do that. Brother Jing will take the college entrance exam in half a year. He is studying at home all day. Even my husband and I don't dare to disturb him. He reads until very late at night."
After Yang Shu said this, other villagers also spoke up for Yang Shu. There was no way they could waste Jing Ge'er's time. What if the delay affected Jing Ge'er's college entrance examination?
Yang Shu hurried home, thinking that he should stop showing off, otherwise he would not be able to bear it if it happened again. Yuan Jing laughed when he heard his father's complaints.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a constant sound of firecrackers outside. Yuan Jing went out with his father to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the village. Originally, they would have eaten the New Year's Eve dinner together at the eldest house, but this year, because of the quarrel with Yan Changhai, Yan Changjiang could not go there again, so they spent the New Year at home. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they went to pay New Year's greetings to the two elders early in the morning. The old man and the old woman looked at them and spoke in a sarcastic tone, but after Yan Changjiang performed the ceremony, he turned around and left with his husband, making the old man and the old woman jump in anger.
On the way to visit his great grandfather, Yan Zhenguo's grandfather, to pay New Year's greetings, Yuan Jing saw four children standing on the side of the road. The two younger ones were sucking their fingers and looking at the family with envy.
When Yang Shu saw them, he quickly pulled Yuan Jing towards him, fearing that these children would get close to Yuan Jing. The children wanted to come over, but when they saw the look Yan Changjiang gave them, they were so scared that they didn't dare to move their feet.
Yang Shu muttered, "The Jian family is getting worse and worse. It seems like life is impossible without the eldest son of the Jian family. Look, it's New Year's Day, and these four children are still so sloppy. They don't even have decent clothes."
Yuan Jing was not familiar with the four children of the Jian family. He would not deliberately contact the people of the Jian family every time he went home for a break. He doubted the identities of these four children when he saw them just now. Now after listening to his father's words, he turned around and took another look. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. This must be them.
Although Yanjia Village is not located in a cold area, the temperature was below zero at this time. The four children were wearing thin clothes, their faces were red and cracked from the cold, their cotton coats felt greasy, and had holes in several places, with the exposed cotton wool being black. The toes of the shoes on their feet were exposed, and the four children all had frostbite on their hands.
Yan Changjiang also frowned as he watched. These children were still young. In fact, if they were taught well, they might become successful in the future. However, he was not optimistic about the character of the Jian family at all.
Yang Shu added, "This family is cursing at home all day, cursing the eldest son who ran away. Looking at their current situation, it's a good thing that the eldest son of the Jian family ran away. I don't know how he is doing now. I hope he has enough food and warm clothes."
Seeing that his father was worried about Jian Hui's situation, Yuan Jing thought to himself that he was not only well fed and well clothed, but he had also already joined the ranks of ten thousand yuan households and was preparing to open a factory in the south to make a fortune.
Unfortunately, he couldn't say anything now. If he mentioned his father, he would definitely find something wrong. Why didn't Jian Hui contact him instead of others? Seeing these people in the Jian family who were holding him back, no matter how much his father loved him, he didn't want him to have any contact with the Jian family.
Yuan Jing sighed inwardly. The situation in their family was easy to solve, but that on the Jian family's side was not so easy. After all, Jian Hui was raised by his father. If he really ignored him in the future, it would not be good for Jian Hui's reputation. But once he did, this family would definitely stick to Jian Hui like a blood-sucking worm.
It's really troublesome. I'll think about it later.
Yuan Jing thought about using the psychic heart to cause trouble for the Jian family and avenge Jian Hui, but looking at the situation of this family, what difference would it make whether he did it or not? It would only make the already bad situation even worse.
This New Year's Eve was spent visiting relatives and friends and missing my loved ones, and I was eagerly looking forward to the start of school.
Jian Hui, who was in the south, was so busy, just as Yuan Jing had expected, that he almost didn't even have time to miss Yuan Jing.
The procedures for the new factory have been almost completed, but the work will not start until after the New Year. At this time, Chinese people will celebrate the Spring Festival, which is a time for families to reunite.
Jian Hui originally planned to spend the New Year alone. In fact, he really wanted to sneak back to see Yuan Jing, but if he returned to Yanjia Village, no matter how much his appearance had changed, the villagers would doubt his identity. So in order to avoid trouble, he stayed in Haicheng in the south.
On New Year's Eve, a family came with New Year's gifts and insisted on inviting Jian Hui to their home for a New Year's Eve dinner, because they heard that Jian Hui came to Chuanghaicheng alone and had no relatives around him.
"Brother Kaihua is so polite. You and Brother Gefu have thanked me several times. Besides, under the circumstances at that time, anyone who saw it would lend a hand. This is really nothing."
Wu Kaihua patted his son's head and said, "Congcong, your uncle Jian refuses to go home with us. What should we do now?"
The four-year-old child was particularly lovable. He ran over and hugged Jian Hui's legs. He looked up at Jian Hui eagerly and said, "Uncle Jian doesn't want to go, so Cong Cong will spend the New Year with Uncle Jian."
Wu Kaihua gave his son a thumbs up. His son was indeed smart: "Haha, Jian Hui, you heard it, right? If you don't go, Congcong and I will just stay and spend the New Year with you."
Jian Hui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only agree: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, okay? Wait a minute, I'll pack my things and come out."
The connection between Jian Hui and Wu Kaihua started with Wu Kaihua's youngest son, Wu Liancong. Congcong was taken out to play by his grandmother, but human traffickers snatched the little grandson away from his grandmother. The grandmother screamed and cried out in despair. Jian Hui happened to pass by at that time, and he chased after the traffickers without saying a word. Not only did he get the child back, he also sent the human traffickers to the police station, implicating several accomplices. For this, the Wu family was very grateful to Jian Hui, saying that if it weren't for him, the Wu family might have been broken up.
Knowing that he would be spending the New Year alone in Haicheng, the two elders of the Wu family insisted that their son invite him back to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Jian Hui was just helping out when he saw injustice. Just as he said, under the circumstances at that time, anyone who was capable would not stand idly by. There were other passers-by who wanted to help, but they were unable to catch up with the human trafficker. Ever since Jian Hui started practicing martial arts with Yuan Jing, and with the memories of his previous life, he could easily fight five or even ten human traffickers at once.
After rescuing the child, the child's father came in person to thank him. Only then did Jian Hui know that the Wu family was not a simple family. The old man of the Wu family didn't say anything, but Wu Kaihua and his husband both worked in government departments. Later, Jian Hui was able to take over a factory he had set his eyes on and had almost completed the formalities, all thanks to Wu Kaihua's help.
If the identities of Wu Kaihua and his wife were not simple, when Jian Hui followed Wu Kaihua and his son to a heavily guarded family compound, he guessed that the old man of the Wu family had an even higher status. Sure enough, when he arrived at the Wu family and saw Congcong calling an old man with a stern face "Grandpa", Jian Hui knew that the old man Wu should hold an important position in the military.
Jian Hui was welcomed by the Wu family and was kept by the Wu family until the second day of the New Year. He not only met the Wu family, but also met the people who came to visit the Wu family on the first day of the New Year. Everyone who could come here had a high status, and Old Man Wu also introduced Jian Hui to them.
Old Master Wu particularly admired Jian Hui. Ever since he learned how Jian Hui rescued his little grandson from the human traffickers, he often sighed that a talent like Jian Hui should join the army. It was a pity that Jian Hui was determined to go into business, which made him feel very sorry. It was such a waste for such good skills to be a businessman.
"Don't listen to your uncle. He persuades everyone he meets to join the army. Kaihua's brothers are in the army now. They can't even go home for the New Year." Wu Kaihua's father said to Jian Hui kindly that if Jian Hui had not rescued his little grandson at that time, he would not want to live anymore.
Jian Hui smiled and said, "No matter what position you are in, you are contributing to the motherland. I can understand your feelings, but my family situation is a bit complicated."
Jian Hui did not hide his situation. His biological father was an educated youth who abandoned his husband and son when he was able to return to the city. His stepfather was unscrupulous. He was the poor Xiao Baicai. He could not make ends meet, so he escaped from that home.
The old man and Wu Kaihua were both very angry. The old man asked, "Where is your father from? Have you ever thought about going to him for help?"
Jian Hui smiled and said, "I never thought about it. When he left, he didn't think about the situation of the people he left behind. Since he hasn't thought about coming back to ask about it for so many years, it means that he has no attachment to his son. Why should I miss him? I just think that I will live a good life in the future, and he won't take advantage of me."
"Yes, that's right, good boy, you have great ambitions!" the old man praised. He knew that Jian Hui had never been to school, but now he was going to open a factory. If he had been well educated since childhood, he would have been even more remarkable in the future.
The old man finally dug out the details of his biological father from Jian Hui. After Jian Hui left, he called the imperial capital and asked an old friend to help find out the situation of this educated youth who had returned to the city.
This was within Jian Hui's expectations. Otherwise, why would the old man want to know his biological father's name? Jian Hui was just following the trend. He also wanted to know the current situation of his biological father's family and whether he regretted abandoning Jian Hui.
He himself didn't care about his biological father's situation, but it was a pity that Jian Hui grew up in the Jian family with beatings and scoldings. He remembered clearly how his biological father disliked him and vented his hatred on him. He also hated his biological father for giving birth to him but not raising him. He also thought about making a name for himself and making these people regret it in the future.
Although he came here mainly to pursue his lover, while accompanying his lover, it did not prevent him from fulfilling the wishes of his original body and preventing himself from owing the original body too much karma.
With the help of Wu Kaihua, Jian Hui's first factory finally started operation after the New Year. This electronics factory currently produces electronic watches and some parts. Jian Hui maintains the status quo for the time being. If he wants to make any big moves, he has to wait for Yuan Jing to see it. He knew how to act in his previous life. If he had known it earlier, he would have learned more.
Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about the sales of these goods after they were produced, so he would not lose money in taking over the factory. After selecting a person with good character to be the factory director, he took the train south again. Yuan Jing was about to start school, and he had to rush back to reunite with Yuan Jing.
Before leaving, he said hello to Wu Kaihua. He did not hide the existence of Yuan Jing and said that the reason he was able to leave the village and embark on this path was thanks to the help of his fellow villager Yan Yuanjing. The first sum of money was also saved by Yuanjing for him.
When Wu Kaihua saw the expression on his face when he mentioned that guy, he knew that Jian Hui fell in love with that guy. He was speechless. How old is he, but he already knows how to find a partner for himself. If it were in the past when Jian Hui was still a poor boy from a farming family, he would not be a match for the guy with excellent grades he mentioned. But now Jian Hui can own a factory. He is bold and has vision. Although he has no diploma, his future achievements will definitely not be low. He doesn't have to worry about not being worthy of that guy.
"Okay, go back and find your brother. I'll help you keep an eye on the factory here. I think the people you picked are okay."
"Thank you, Brother Kaihua. I will come back as soon as possible." Jian Hui said gratefully.
