An Jingzhi rolled down the car window early and looked at a group of dusty police officers with happy faces. They didn't seem to think patrolling was such a troublesome thing.
"Comrades, you're welcome. You're also serving the people. Thank you for your hard work in maintaining village security."
The police officer who spoke first smiled and said, "We still have to thank you. Boss An, you didn't come that day, so we could only convey our gratitude to you through Comrade An Ruyi. Now that we've met, of course we have to thank you in person."
"With the motorcycle you donated, Boss An, the entire commune can be included in the patrol range."
Several police officers watched the car An Jingzhi was in gradually go away.
"Boss An is a pretty good person. He donated roads and cars and motorcycles to our Public Security Bureau. The garment factory in the county is almost finished. If anyone still hasn't found a job by then, they can give it a try. I heard there will be a written test and an interview."
"How can I take the exam for making clothes?"
"Who knows, maybe they have their own ways, but in the end, ever since Boss An came to Sankang County, things have been getting better and better."
"It would be great if there were more people like Boss An who could come and invest."
"You're dreaming. We're broke here. If Boss An hadn't left here, he probably wouldn't have chosen a place like this to invest."
The driver looked through the rearview mirror and saw several police officers talking to each other for a few words before continuing to patrol around the commune on their motorcycles. He felt a little emotional.
"The police in mainland China are really different from ours. They really live up to their slogan of serving the people."
"It was only after Hong Kong Island was confirmed to be returned that the situation there started to improve. If it were still the same as before, even if we wanted to do business properly, it probably wouldn't have been possible."
An Jingzhi glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you envied their motorcycles." The driver used to be a gangster in a motorcycle gang in Hong Kong Island.
The driver chuckled. "A little bit, but driving for the boss is more important."
An Jingzhi warned, "It's okay if you say something wrong in front of me, but if you dare say it in front of my family, I will punish you."
Although he told the An family that he had to work in society for a few years in Hong Kong Island to make a living, that was just something he mentioned in passing. The An family didn't have much idea about it. If the driver kept calling him "boss", it would inevitably make the An family think too much.
After returning home, An Jingzhi went to look at the vacant lot next to the old house. It turned out to be a flattened lot, and now it has taken shape.
An Dapeng invited some villagers who had a good relationship with his family to help repair the house, and he would also let his sons and grandsons help with the work.
The An family worked very hard, so the invited guests felt embarrassed to slack off. Moreover, the An family's hospitality was not bad either. They had meat and rice for every meal, and even mung bean soup with sugar when it was hot.
The open space changes every day.
An Jingzhi did not return empty-handed. Although he himself did not smoke, it did not prevent him from bringing a few more cigarettes to give to others.
The villagers in the open space were actually a little afraid of An Jingzhi. Even those who were considered An Jingzhi's elders didn't dare to talk to him, let alone the young and middle-aged people of the same generation as An Jingzhi.
He took a few cartons of cigarettes from the car and asked the driver to open them and distribute them to everyone. After receiving the cigarettes, the group of people praised An Jingzhi for his generosity and gratitude.
When he returned home in glory, he did not forget to thank his fellow townsmen and donated a road.
It was an asphalt road, the most commonly used road construction material at that time. It was repaired in a few days. That was the road An Jingzhi took when he entered the village.
In the future, villagers will go to the county along this asphalt road, which will be much more convenient than before.
The driver blended into the crowd and chatted with the villagers about village gossip.
After listening to the gossips of the villagers, the relationship between the two sides unknowingly became closer, and some people began to ask him about life in Hong Kong Island.
As the team leader, Li Xiaofeng didn't have to work so hard to earn this hard-earned money.
But he volunteered and didn't ask for any money at all. He came to work hard every day. Even his father might not be able to use him like this.
This was so that An Qingxin could show him a movie after work every day.
There are many kinds of movies. The more he watched, the more he longed for life in Hong Kong Island.
"Brother Liu, is life in Hong Kong really like what's shown in the movies?"
Liu Hanqiao, the driver and bodyguard, also roughly understood the relationship of the An family. This slick boy in front of him might become the boss's nephew-in-law, so Liu Hanqiao was more patient with him.
"That's about right. But life is divided everywhere. There are rich and poor people. When I first arrived, the poor had a worse life than here."
"Rich people are actually similar to those shown in movies, but they are a minority after all."
"Do you know what a cage house is?"
"A single bed is enclosed in an iron cage, and only this single bed belongs to you. Dozens of people live in one house, and the monthly rent is five or six hundred..."
When Liu Hanqiao heard this, he realized that a month's rent of five or six hundred yuan was not even rent, it was clearly the bed fee. He might not be able to save up enough for this month's bed fee in several years.
Although his family was poor, at least they had spacious space. However, they insisted on making him live in that cramped cage house. Li Xiaofeng's impression of Hong Kong Island suddenly shattered.
The people around him took advantage of Liu Hanqiao's convenience and started asking questions one after another.
