In less than half a day, the whole village knew that An Xiaojun had found a suitable girl in the capital, and that Old Mrs. An was about to go to the capital to help with the screening.
No one expected that the little fool who was sympathized by the villagers at the beginning not only got a stable job in the capital, but also found a girl from the capital.
To be honest, after so many years, Mrs. An has never been to the capital once. She always has various excuses to refuse, and no matter how An Jingzhi invites her, she won't come.
This time, the reason An Jingzhi gave was a key factor in determining Old Lady An's lifeline.
Before trying to convince Old Lady An to agree to let An Xiaoqiu go into business, he had to let her experience the benefits of doing business herself. Otherwise, no matter what he said, Old Lady An would probably feel uncomfortable. After all, the ideas in the place where they lived were even more outdated.
I just can't accept the idea of quitting my public office and going into business.
As for An Xiaojun's story, it is indeed true.
He didn't expect that this boy had quietly fallen in love with a girl.
Although he has some intellectual disabilities, it doesn't mean that he is a fool.
It's normal to fall in love with someone, but the love for this kind of person is more pure and simple.
That girl was Li Jiahua's sister. After she was admitted to university, she came to visit their sports base several times. He didn't realize when this silly boy fell in love with her.
In the beginning, he was not very optimistic. Li Jiahua's sister, Li Jiashu, came from a well-off family and she was not interested in the jobs of athletes at the sports base.
But he didn't plan to interfere and let them develop on their own. Unexpectedly, the little girl actually fell in love with the silly boy who secretly looked at her all day long.
The other party's parents were reluctant at first. If their son had not been good friends with An Xiaojun for many years, they would not even want to meet him.
Finally, unable to resist his daughter's request, he agreed to meet with An Xiaojun.
It is indeed obvious that he is a child with some mental problems, but his eyes are clear and transparent, full of sincerity, and he looks at his daughter with love in his eyes.
In addition, the other party has a stable job that can support the family, his daughter likes it, and they will live in the capital after they get married.
Li Jiashu's parents finally agreed and allowed the two to be together and meet each other's parents.
This is why An Jingzhi used this as an excuse to call Old Lady An over.
…
"Son! We're here!"
There was a little girl following Mrs. An. An Jingzhi looked carefully and found that it was An Xiaoxia.
Previously, he was worried that it would be unsafe for Old Mrs. An to take the train alone, so he asked his mother to bring someone over to take the train with him and pay for the ticket himself. Unexpectedly, he chose the little girl An Xiaoxia.
An Jingzhi approached and took the luggage from their hands. "Mom, you must be tired from the journey. Come on, I'll take you to rest. I've prepared a place to stay. It's right next to our sports base."
That place was actually where he found some antiques when he first came to the capital in the 1970s. He sold them in recent years and bought this house. It was just a temporary thing, so the An family didn't know about it yet.
"Uncle, this capital city is really lively and bustling. It's much better than ours. It's worthy of being the capital of a country."
An Xiaoxia felt that her eyes were not enough. Everything she looked at was beautiful. The people in this capital were dressed so beautifully. Such floral dresses would cost a lot of money there.
Are there so many rich people here? There are quite a few people wearing them.
There were hawkers' cries everywhere, and rickshaw drivers soliciting passengers.
"Then why is it called the capital? Of course it has to be more developed than other provinces in every aspect. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
Old Mrs. An was a little surprised when she saw so many people carrying loads on their shoulders and vendors selling things on the road. She grabbed An Jingzhi's sleeve and asked:
"They're just selling things like this, and no one's watching?" Old Mrs. An usually lives in the countryside and rarely goes into the city. She has no idea what the policies are, but after the land was divided, her family's life was indeed much better than before.
An Xiaoxia was also a little surprised. Although there were people selling things in their county, it didn't feel so crowded. There were hawking sounds everywhere, it was too lively.
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "That's nothing. Wait until you have a day off. I'll take you around tomorrow. Those places are really lively. There are even more people selling things. Our country encourages business now. These small vendors sell things, and no one will arrest them. They all make money through their own labor, not stealing or robbing."
"That's not bad." Old Mrs. An and An Xiaoxia looked at the scenery along the road with relish.
An Jingzhi used an electric tricycle to pick people up and take them back to his courtyard house. He had already asked someone to clean the place in advance, so they could move in directly.
"This place is great. It shouldn't cost a lot to stay here for a while, right?" Old Mrs. An looked at the green bricks and tiles and touched the courtyard wall that looked old.
An Jingzhi led the way and said, "No money needed, I've already bought this house."
Mrs. An's hand, which was touching the wall, suddenly trembled. She exclaimed in surprise, "What? You bought it? How much did it cost? Where did you get so much money?"
An Jingzhi sent some money to Old Lady An every year and also saved some himself, but Old Lady An was very clear about how much money he had. She didn't think her son's money could afford a large house at the foot of the imperial city. Moreover, the house looked expensive. In the old days, only the wealthy landlords could afford it.
"I found some things here a few years ago. I was lucky. After the reform and opening up in recent years, the prices of the things I found increased, so I sold them and bought this house. I spent 80,000 yuan on it." It is more than that price now.
Old Mrs. An's eyes widened and she staggered. If An Jingzhi had not been quick enough to drop the luggage in his hand and hold her up, she would have sat on the ground.
Old Mrs. An's lips trembled, "Son, you, you can't do anything stupid!"
Old Mrs. An couldn't believe that anything could be sold for so much money! She didn't know what was an antique.
An Xiaoxia was also helping to support Old Mrs. An, her eyes wide open with confusion written all over them.
"Mom, what are you thinking? My children are so capable now, why should I do anything?"
Old Mrs. An thought it made sense, but as an old lady who had lived in the countryside all her life, she really couldn't believe that anything could be sold at such a high price.
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it tomorrow and you'll know. Pack your bags first, and I'll take you to dinner."
There are more vendors outside now, and there are more edible things. An Jingzhi often goes out to look for them. Like a gourmet, he knows where there are delicious foods.
