After the news spread, the threshold of the An family was almost trampled down, and the house was crowded with people every day.
Fan Chunmei and An Guorong put aside all their business outside and prepared to return home to hold a banquet.
If their son becoming the top scorer is not worth celebrating, then what else is there to celebrate?
Within a few days, all the neighbors who got along well with her came to Grandma An to ask for things that An Jingzhi used before, but those things had been given away long ago during the years when An Jingzhi skipped grades.
An Jingzhi was also called to the presence of elders again and again to receive various kinds of praise.
Some people walked dozens of miles and across several villages to come to An's house with their bellies bulging and asked An Jingzhi to help touch their bellies so that their children could also be influenced by his literary spirit.
This event was held with great fanfare. Not only did every household participate, but also relatives from the village, villagers from the neighboring village, and people the villagers knew. Basically, as long as there was someone nearby, everyone who could come came.
Originally, the village was going to pay for it, but Grandma An refused in the end. This was a celebration banquet for her grandson, so how could she ask the villagers to pay for it?
It is only a matter of time before my grandson becomes successful. If someone comes to me for help because of this matter in the future, will I help him or not?
The family has saved a lot of money from business over the years. The old lady contributed a part of it, and An Guorong and others contributed another part. Everyone contributed money and effort, and finally made this celebration banquet a complete success.
Even the leaders of the county commune came to have a drink before leaving.
After the banquet, people kept coming to interview An Jingzhi until school started.
Grandma An now wears the most decent clothes that An Jingzhi gave her with his scholarship every day.
Wearing the silk scarf that An Guorong had bought for her before, she dressed herself up nicely and was ready to take pictures at any time.
I also learned a few words from An Jingzhi, and I became more and more adept at dealing with these reporters.
Sometimes when Grandpa An was stumped by a question, she could say a few words to help him out.
"Was An Jingzhi different from other children when he was little?"
The reporter still talks about the same old things.
Grandma An has answered this question many times and she does it with ease.
She was wearing the most decent clothes and her hair was combed neatly with a wet comb.
"This child has been different since he was young. Which child doesn't like to play when they are young? This child is different. He doesn't like to play with the children in the village and often stays alone."
"Later I learned that he was thinking. He pondered every day why birds like to build nests in trees."
"Why do things that are thrown out fall downwards?"
"Why do ants move before it rains..."
"This child has had many problems since he was young. As parents, we can't fool him just because he's young."
"But we didn't understand the reasoning behind this either, so we told him that when he grows up, he can study and find the answer to his question himself."
Grandma An answered positively, and the reporter was very satisfied with her writing.
He didn't mention at all the times when he disliked his grandson for being as lazy as his father.
After asking all the questions, he added a few more questions for the villagers and finally took a group photo. An Jingzhi was still in the middle, and the interview ended successfully.
…
During school, under the guidance of An Jingzhi, An Guorong and An Guohua, who had resigned and was laid off, grew their business bigger and bigger.
The two also set up a transportation company, which is considered the largest transportation company in the province. Safety is guaranteed, and compensation is provided if items are damaged or lost.
It has become the first choice for many people to transport things, and its reputation has gradually spread to surrounding provinces.
My hometown is located in the north. While other places have started construction in full swing, this place remains lifeless and follows the rules.
Even though An Guorong and his company can help solve some employment problems, the general trend is that a large number of workers are laid off, factories are closing down, and the economic situation is getting worse and worse.
After studying at two universities, An Jingzhi took the postgraduate entrance examination directly. After graduating from graduate school, many companies were vying for him.
He first went to many places for internship for two years, and finally decided to return to his hometown, a remote county in the north.
………………
"I heard that our secretary was transferred directly from the capital. Although he is young, he is highly regarded by many leaders. If he hadn't taken the initiative to come here, there would have been people in the province who would have snatched him away."
"I heard that the secretary is from our county and was once from our county. Is that true?"
"I also heard it from others, I didn't know it was so clear. Anyway, this secretary has a deep background and has people behind him. When we meet, we can't take him lightly just because he's young."
The old county secretary retired, and a young secretary was parachuted in from the capital.
Everyone used their own methods to inquire about the secretary's background. They only knew that he was highly regarded in the capital and had a bright future.
As soon as the secretary arrived, he held a meeting and not only called the county's leadership team, but also sent people from the commune.
A new official has three big things to do when he takes office, and no one wants to be blamed. In the future, they will have dinner with this secretary, and no one wants to offend the leader.
The vice president of Ping'an Commune arrived at the meeting room early. According to her level, she could only sit at the outermost edge at the back.
She thought she arrived early, but in fact there were more people who arrived earlier than her.
"President Li, why are you so late? Isn't your commune's President Zhang coming?"
Li Qiushui, Chu Yongping's mother, had just sat down when the people next to her greeted her.
"Didn't I come half an hour early? Why is everyone else here so early?"
"President Zhang sent me here when he had something to do, and it would be the same if I went back to convey it."
"I arrived an hour early, and guess what? The county leaders arrived even earlier than me. Most of them were here an hour ago."
