My second grandfather was ruthless, stubborn, and fearless, and that's how he made a name for himself.
However, we live in a society governed by the rule of law, and such a situation has never occurred again.
However, no other village dared to touch the things that Xu Family Village had taken, which shows how powerful the Second Grandfather was.
"This whole commotion today is to thank those two unsung heroes!" Second Grandfather beckoned to Xu Guosheng, who was still grinning foolishly, "Guosheng, come over here too."
After Xu Guosheng walked over, the second grandfather grabbed their hands and raised them high: "These are our village's two unsung heroes—Xu An and Xu Guosheng!"
Splash splash splash splash!
Everyone present, whether they knew the two of them or not, applauded.
"The pig behind us weighs 480 pounds! It's the biggest and fattest pig in the pig farm! It's a gift to these two unsung heroes!"
After saying that, the second grandfather let go of the two men's hands, took a step forward, and turned to look behind Xu An and Xu Guosheng. A man holding a gong put down the gong, stood up, and bowed ninety degrees to the two men.
"I am so grateful to my two benefactors for saving my child in time. Otherwise, he would have been separated from me forever, which would have been a regret for the rest of my life!" The man's voice choked with emotion as he finished speaking.
"No, no, no, it was just a coincidence. Anyone here would have helped if they had encountered him." Xu An quickly stepped forward and, together with Xu Guosheng, helped the man up on either side: "How is the child now?"
"The situation is stable, but we don't know what caused the cut. The child needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days." The man said somewhat embarrassedly, "My wife is in the hospital taking care of the child and can't leave. We'll bring the child over to thank you both in person after the child is discharged."
"No need, no need, you're too kind."
After some pleasantries, the grand thank-you banquet came to a temporary end.
Xu An and Xu Guosheng were both a bit of a headache looking at the 480-pound pig in front of them, wondering what to do with it.
After discussing whether to sell the pig and split the profits or split it in half, the two decided to use the pig to host a whole pig feast for the entire village!
The second grandfather was very supportive of their decision. He immediately called to invite the township's professional banquet organizers to come over. Then he directed the villagers to set up the venue and wash the dishes, and the atmosphere in the village instantly became joyful.
The man was kept behind by Xu An and the others, and he is currently sitting in Xu An's courtyard.
To avoid an awkward atmosphere, Xu An and Xu Guosheng stayed in the courtyard to keep the man company and chat. As they talked, the conversation naturally turned to Xu An.
"My nephew, don't let his young age fool you, he's got a sharp mind." Xu Guosheng boasted to the man about Xu An's remarkable achievements: "He only set up a lunchbox stall at the construction site entrance in June, and we all thought he was just trying to earn some extra money to supplement his family's income, so we didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, he's already opened two shops this month, and business is booming!"
Following Xu Guosheng's lead, the man showered Xu An with praise, his compliments flowing like a never-ending stream, making even a seasoned veteran like Xu An feel quite flattered.
If Xu An were truly only eighteen years old this year, he would have already soared to the heavens amidst such praise.
Towards the end of the conversation, the man casually asked, "How's the business of selling boxed lunches at the construction site entrance?"
"It's good, the workers really like it." Xu An paused for a moment, then added, "But we're not doing business with the workers anymore; we're mainly doing business with office workers now."
"Oh, didn't you say it was doing well? Why aren't you doing business with workers anymore?" the man asked curiously.
“The construction site I mainly work at recently had a food poisoning incident, so now the public land has adopted a boxed meal supply model. The boxed meals provided by the suppliers are quite good, and they are enough to fill you up, so fewer workers are willing to come out and eat,” Xu An explained.
Hearing Xu An's words, the man felt a sense of familiarity and immediately asked, "Which construction site did you set up your stall at before?"
"The Bauhinia Garden construction site," Xu An replied directly.
"The Bauhinia Garden construction site?" The man glanced at Xu An, but didn't detect anything unusual in Xu An's eyes. He then lowered his head and pondered for a while before speaking, "Do you know Xuguang Real Estate Company?"
“I know.” Xu An nodded: “The Zijing Garden construction site was developed by Xuguang Real Estate Company.”
“I have a friend who works there, in a mid-rise building.” The man emphasized his friend’s identity before continuing, “It seems that Xuguang Real Estate intends to cancel the boxed meals and instead give meal allowances directly to the workers.”
Xu An's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing became heavier: "It's all the construction sites under Xuguang Real Estate Company..."
The man nodded.
At that moment, Xu An's heart rate was definitely above 180.
