Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Ning leaned closer and said, "Grandpa Zhou, your suggestion is excellent! I'm worried about my grandpa traveling alone! By the way, where would you like to go? When would you like to go? Let me see if there are any suitable tour groups."
It's better for seniors to join a tour group when traveling.
It's lively with lots of people.
And it's safe!
Most importantly, older people are more energetic than younger people and are better suited to going out early and returning late.
"Long time no see, Ning girl, you've become even more beautiful!" Zhou Jinpeng first showered Jiang Ning with compliments, then said, "Ning girl, I've lived this long and I've never seen the sea! So I want to go see the sea! Let's set the date for the day after tomorrow or the day after that!"
Zhou Jinpeng had only ever seen the sea on television.
He had always wanted to taste seawater to see if it was really as salty as everyone said.
“Okay,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, “Grandpa Zhou, you can leave this matter to me.”
"Okay, thank you for your help, Ning girl!"
"Grandpa Zhou, you're too kind," Jiang Ning continued. "How about this, I'll book a tour for the 16th, and then I'll book you a plane ticket to Beijing for tomorrow, so my grandfather can take you around Beijing for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, Old Zhou! Ningning is right. You should come to Beijing first, and we'll go see Tiananmen Square first, and then we can go out and have some fun together."
Zhou Jinpeng also thought Jiang Ning's suggestion was quite good. Since he had never been to the capital, he agreed to Jiang Ning's suggestion.
Jiang Ning is a very efficient person. After hanging up the video call, she booked a plane ticket for Zhou Jinpeng for 4 pm the next day on her phone.
Jiang Ning had bought Zhou Jinpeng's plane ticket from City A back to his hometown, so she had Zhou Jinpeng's ticket purchase information on her phone.
After booking the plane tickets, Jiang Ning seemed to remember something and looked at Grandpa Jiang, "By the way, Grandpa, didn't Grandpa Zhou just say that after he comes back from his trip, he will give the remaining demolition compensation to his nephews for safekeeping?"
"That seems to be the idea." Grandpa Jiang asked curiously, "Ningning, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Jiang Ning continued, "Grandpa, you can't see into someone's heart. In today's society, even fathers and sons can turn against each other over money, let alone just a nephew. Grandpa Zhou has already learned his lesson once. If you meet him tomorrow, you should remind him to make a will first, so that the demolition compensation can be divided according to its proper place. Putting all the money in his nephew's hands now is too risky. After all, people's hearts are the most vulnerable to being tested."
Jiang Ning had wanted to say these words during her video call with Zhou Jinpeng.
But Zhou Jinpeng's nephews were also there at the time.
Since she was a junior, after careful consideration, she decided it would be better for Grandpa Jiang to tell him in person.
Grandpa Jiang nodded, feeling that Jiang Ning had considered things very thoroughly. "Alright, I'll definitely talk to him about this when the time comes."
The next afternoon at four o'clock.
Zhou Jinpeng arrived at Beijing Airport on time.
Jiang Ning and Grandpa Jiang went to the airport to pick up the passenger.
Zhou Jinpeng and Grandpa Jiang hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were both very excited to meet again.
"Old Jiang, you look even younger than in the video."
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "You too, you look much younger than before."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinpeng proudly replied, "That's because my nephews are all very filial."
Jiang Ning took Zhou Jinpeng's suitcase. "Grandpa Zhou, I've already booked a hotel near the scenic spot. My grandfather said he wants to stay with you. I'll take you to the hotel first, put your things there, and then we'll go have a meal."
"Alright, alright." Zhou Jinpeng generously took out several stacks of cash from his bag and stuffed them into Jiang Ning's hand. "Ningning, this is a reward for your hard work! Don't say you don't want it. Grandpa Zhou knows you have money, but Grandpa Zhou isn't short of money right now. If you don't accept it, Grandpa Zhou won't stay at the hotel you booked."
Zhou Jinpeng always remembered Jiang Ning's kindness.
When he decided to return to his hometown, his old house had not yet been demolished. He had limited financial resources, so Jiang Ning gave him the plane ticket and bought him various local specialties.
Not only that.
Jiang Ning also put 20,000 yuan in cash in that pile of local specialties.
In Zhou Jinpeng's eyes, Jiang Ning was truly a very, very good child.
To be worldly-wise without being cynical.
Hearing Zhou Jinpeng say this, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa Zhou, then I'll accept it for now."
Jiang Ning drove the two elderly people to the hotel.
Jiang Ning booked the highest-standard hotel, a two-bedroom suite.
As soon as he entered the hotel, Zhou Jinpeng exclaimed, "I've never stayed in such a nice hotel in my life! Ning girl, this hotel must be very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive, Grandpa Zhou. This hotel belongs to my dad's company. You can stay for free and as long as you want."
Zhou Jinpeng nodded and looked at Old Master Jiang, "Old Jiang, you are really lucky! I am also benefiting from your good fortune."
Grandpa Jiang also had a big smile on his face. "To be honest, I never thought I would be able to enjoy such a peaceful and happy life in my later years."
I never even dreamed of it.
After putting away their luggage, Jiang Ning took the two elderly people to a landmark hotel in Beijing for a meal.
This was Zhou Jinpeng's first time eating at a place like this. He took out his phone and excitedly filmed several videos for Douyin!
After the meal, Jiang Ning escorted the two elderly people back to their hotel.
He also told Grandpa Jiang to call him if anything happened.
Grandpa Jiang nodded slightly, "Okay, Ningning, I'm with your Grandpa Zhou, so you don't need to worry."
Zhou Jinpeng nodded in agreement, "Ning girl, your grandfather is right. Your grandfather and I are old partners!"
“Then I’ll head back now,” Jiang Ning said, picking up her bag. “Goodnight, Grandpa Zhou.”
Grandpa Jiang then added, "Ningning, please drive carefully on the road."
"OK."
After Jiang Ning left.
The two elderly people were chatting together.
We talked for a very long time.
Finally, Grandpa Jiang added, "By the way, Lao Zhou, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Zhou Jinpeng asked.
Grandpa Jiang said, "Didn't you tell me in the video yesterday that you would deposit all the demolition compensation into your nephew's account after you got back?"
“Yes.” Zhou Jinpeng nodded. “I’ve thought it all out. I have four nephews. I’ll take out one million to spend, and there will be eight million left. Each of them will have two million in their names.”
"Next, I will stay at each of my nephews' houses for six months at a time, until I pass away."
Before coming to Beijing, Zhou Jinpeng had already discussed it with his nephews.
His four nephews all supported his decision and assured him that they would treat him well in the future and take care of him until his death.
Therefore, Zhou Jinpeng trusted his nephews very much.
Grandpa Jiang looked at Zhou Jinpeng, organized his thoughts, and then said, "Old Zhou, I think you need to reconsider this matter. Ningning is right, you can't judge a book by its cover. What if your four nephews ignore you after they get the money? It's safest to keep the money in your own account. You can talk to them in advance and agree that as long as they take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die, the money will be split equally among the four of them."
If Zhou Jinpeng's four nephews are all ungrateful wretches, then Zhou Jinpeng is going to suffer for the rest of his life.
He finally achieved the life he has now after a lot of hardship.
"No, no, no." Zhou Jinpeng waved his hand with a smile. "Although I know that Ning said these words for my own good, please rest assured that my four nephews are very filial. They are not that kind of people at all."
