"Okay, I'll call my grandson tonight." Grandma Li was as happy as a child. It seems that the saying "the elderly return to their childhood" has some truth to it.
In the stationery store in Beijing, Cao Yujiao hung up the phone and was about to leave for work. But after stepping out the door, she turned back to the phone, paged Chen Niannian, and then left.
A pager beeped, and Chen Niannian took out her pager. "Uncle Ma is looking for you. Phone number XXXXXXXX, Ms. Cao."
Chen Niannian had no classes this morning. After a quick lunch, she was about to go to the study room when she saw the pager. She immediately turned around and went to the campus store, picked up the phone, and called back.
The ringing of the phone startled the three people talking next to it.
Ma Tianliang picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Ma Tianliang. Who are you looking for?"
Then Chen Niannian's voice came from the other end, "Uncle Ma, Yu Jiao paged me, saying you were looking for me. Is there something you need?"
“Niannian, look at my memory, I completely forgot you had a pager! I was planning to call you guys again tonight. So, here’s the thing, our area is being demolished. When are you and Qiangzai free to come back and deal with the compensation?”
When Chen Niannian heard about the demolition, she was suddenly amazed. How could it be so fast? She thought she would have to wait for several years, but she didn't expect the demolition to happen in less than a year.
"Uncle Ma, I'll go back and discuss it with Qiangzai. I'll head over there soon. Have you and Granny Li's houses been settled yet?"
“It’s all settled. The contracts have all been signed. My house is the same size as Qiangzai’s house. The total compensation is 900,000 yuan. I estimate that Qiangzai’s compensation will be about the same. You should come back and get things done as soon as possible. You can only feel at ease once you have the money in your hands. Grandma Li’s case has also been settled.”
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Uncle Ma. We'll definitely be there soon," Chen Niannian said.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Niannian's heart began to race.
Nine hundred thousand is a huge sum of money now. It's enough for my brother to live comfortably for the rest of his life, but decades from now, it wouldn't even be enough to buy a house in Beijing.
How can I convince my brother to use this money for investment?
Although I bought the house with my own money, the registered owner is Li Zhiqiang, and it was agreed that the house was for my younger brother.
If I bring up money with him now, sigh... this topic is just too sensitive. What if my brother misunderstands? Sigh, not having money has its troubles, but having money also brings its own set of troubles.
Chen Niannian hopes that after receiving this money, her younger brother will continue to stay true to himself and pursue his studies.
In her previous life, Chen Niannian had witnessed too many "second-generation demolition beneficiaries" who, after suddenly gaining wealth from land expropriation, went from being ambitious to decadent. She didn't want her younger brother to become like that. [△Net]
As Chen Niannian walked, she continued to ponder, deciding to ask her teacher for a few days' leave and go back with her younger brother.
"Niannian, what are you thinking about?" Yue Jiaoyang's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
"I was planning to go to the study room, but I don't want to go now. Don't you have any classes this morning?" Chen Niannian replied somewhat sullenly.
"Besides, you always walk up to me so quietly. Do you have a lot of free time?" Chen Niannian continued.
"I think it's probably because we're both good students who love to study, our schedules are almost the same, and our dorm buildings are so close together, so it feels abnormal if we don't bump into each other a few times a day," Yue Jiaoyang said, making up nonsense with a straight face.
Chen Niannian was immediately amused by Yue Jiaoyang's words. "I've noticed that you've changed. You're not the same as before. You're much more down-to-earth now."
"What was I like before?" Yue Jiaoyang asked curiously.
"You used to be cold and aloof, like someone with a blank expression. Sometimes you'd be smiling, but there was no real smile in your eyes. You always exuded an aura that said 'keep away.'" Chen Niannian vividly described it.
“Maybe I’m like that with others, but I’ve always been quite enthusiastic towards you. I think my smiles towards you are genuine,” Yue Jiaoyang said defiantly.
"If someone is always cold to everyone else but very enthusiastic towards you, wouldn't you find it a bit strange? Why would they be so attentive for no reason... What's the next line?" Chen Niannian rolled her eyes at him and said.
“This isn’t just offering help for no reason, you know what I mean,” Yue Jiaoyang suddenly said seriously, and Chen Niannian immediately realized she had misspoke.
Just as Chen Niannian was feeling embarrassed after saying the wrong thing...
"Good morning, students! As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the new day, we are here to welcome you to the start of a new day. On this beautiful morning, the school radio station is recruiting broadcasters from our new students. If you meet the following requirements, please come to the broadcasting room on the 6th floor of the teaching building to apply."
The two stood there, and after listening, Chen Niannian's eyes suddenly lit up. She immediately said to Yue Jiaoyang, "Are you interested in giving it a try?"
"You want to go to the broadcasting company? You're interested in it? You want to give it a try?" Yue Jiaoyang asked in a series of questions.
“Yes, I didn’t expect there to be such a club in university. I’ve always felt that my tone of voice isn’t very strong or melodious, so I’d like to use this to cultivate that. You should try it too, so that you won’t scare girls when you speak in the future.” Chen Niannian looked at Yue Jiaoyang with a mischievous expression.
“Your voice is very nice. As long as my voice doesn’t scare you, it’s fine. But if you want to go, I’ll go with you.” Yue Jiaoyang saw that Chen Niannian was going and immediately decided to go with her.
After arriving at the broadcasting station, the two were selected after a simple interview and reading aloud.
When Chen Niannian returned home that evening, Wan Qing and Chen Panpan stared at him in surprise. Wan Qing stood up nervously and asked, "Niannian, why are you back at this hour? What happened? Did you suffer any injustice at school?"
Chen Niannian looked at Wan Qing with amusement, "Mom, I just have something to do and I'm going home. You're all so worried. If you keep acting like this, I won't come home anymore."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You'd better call before you come back next time, and I'll have your brother meet you at the intersection," Wan Qing said hurriedly, afraid that her daughter really wouldn't come back at all.
"Okay, Mom, you go ahead with your work. I need to talk to my brother about something."
"Okay, you two siblings chat. Have you eaten? If not, I'll make you a bowl of noodles," Wan Qing asked with concern.
"I've eaten, Mom. You don't need to worry about me."
"You guys chat, I'll go clean up." Wan Qing walked towards the kitchen.
Chen Panpan and her sister went to the bedroom. Chen Niannian's words stunned him: "We're going to Shenzhen together the day after tomorrow. Please take the day off tomorrow."
