It was not until the end of An Xiaotao's summer vacation that An Jingzhi learned that the case had been solved.
Just like the previous life, it is a story of love turning into hate.
The police officer said, "The verdict has been made. We have both witnesses and evidence. You have helped us a lot this time, sir."
"It was through the autopsy that we were able to identify the suspect so quickly."
"This young man is also like that. He clearly has a bright future, but he insists on being depressed and actually kills someone just because of a breakup. Sigh."
"By the way, sir, this is the Citizen Award," the police officer handed over a certificate. "In recognition of your help this time, our bureau has applied for a Good Citizen Award for you."
An Jingzhi took it and found that there was only a certificate. He was a little disappointed. Why was there no achievement mentioned?
Fortunately, although the merit of helping to solve the case was small, he still received it.
"Is there no bonus at all?" he asked unwillingly.
The police officer was at a loss for words. "Sir, I really don't have any. If you can provide any clues about the suspects on the list, maybe there will be one."
He was afraid that An Jingzhi would really take risks for the money, so he quickly added, "But those on the list are all desperate criminals. You must not deliberately provoke them."
When An Xiaotao returned home on the weekend, he found a new certificate on the wall.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a certificate of good citizenship.
"Grandpa, what did you do to deserve this award?"
After An Jingzhi got the certificate back, Old Man An immediately asked someone to frame it.
Every day I wipe the dust off through the glass, smiling as I do so, feeling so proud.
Seeing An Xiaotao getting too close, Father An said, "Be careful, don't get it dirty."
An Xiaotao was speechless. He was at least half a meter away, and there was a glass blocking the way. How could he touch her?
He was helpless, sat on the sofa, and asked: "Grandpa, what's going on?"
"I just helped the police find the body, and the police gave me a certificate after they solved the case." An Jingzhi said very casually.
An Xiaotao was surprised and a little scared when he heard this, "Grandpa, you are so amazing, aren't you?"
"Grandpa, if you help the police, will the murderer come looking for you?" he asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. If the murderer is not caught, will the police give me the award? If they do, they will give it to me secretly. How can they let me tell anyone?" An Jingzhi said calmly.
Seeing that there was no need to worry about the future, An Xiaotao kept asking An Jingzhi about how he discovered the body. He was both afraid and curious.
After dinner, An Xiaotao finally remembered something important.
"Grandpa, guess what place I ranked in this exam?"
An Jingzhi said: "Improvement?"
An Xiaotao was surprised, "Grandpa, how did you know?"
Although An Xiaotao has matured a lot, that is only relative to his peers. In front of An Jingzhi, he is still a half-grown child, and his thoughts are written on his face.
"If you've regressed, would you still have the energy to ask questions?"
"Grandpa, I knew I couldn't hide anything from you. I improved five places in the opening test this time and now I'm ranked tenth in the class!" An Xiaotao was very excited.
Although he had spent less time studying than before, he felt as if he was learning with divine help and made rapid progress.
“I will try to be in the top five in the class next time.”
An Xiaotao hesitated, "What if I don't get in?"
An Jingzhi spread his hands and said, "If you didn't get in, then you didn't get in. You have to accept that there will always be people smarter than you."
"Grandpa," An Jingzhi's indifferent attitude actually inspired him to fight, "Don't worry, I will definitely work harder!"
That night, An Xiaotao called An Hongwei and his wife.
In fact, after the last fire, he wanted to confront An Hongwei and his wife about his following An Jingzhi to work everywhere, but he had been holding it back and wanted to wait until the results came out this time.
When Kang Shulan heard An Xiaotao say that although An Jingzhi didn't let An Xiaotao work as a dishwasher, he still took him to work in the wholesale market before dawn and did odd jobs in various small shops, she became so angry that her face darkened.
"Mom, I know you have a problem with grandpa."
"But before you get angry, let me tell you something."
"You wouldn't believe it, but I've actually studied even less than before, but I've really made progress. I ranked tenth in the class on the opening exam, a full five places improvement!"
The frost on Kang Shulan's face melted away, and she was surprised. "You didn't just say that to appease your mother, did you?"
"Mom, why should I lie to you about this? You can just ask the teacher and find out."
"I want to tell you that grandpa's method is really useful."
An Xiaotao still found it very magical that he suddenly got the idea.
"I really found high school very difficult. No matter how hard I tried, I still felt like there was a layer of knowledge between me and myself."
"I don't know why, but after following my grandfather around doing odd jobs and listening to what he said, I felt differently about going to school."
The principles that An Jingzhi told him were different from the empty talk of his teacher. These principles made him feel and experience them personally.
"I've become more patient and careful than before. Things that I used to think were a disaster are now not that serious."
Kang Shulan listened quietly to An Xiaotao's sharing.
In the past, An Xiaotao would never have such an open conversation with her.
She felt relieved but also a little sad. In the end, she missed her son's growth for the sake of life.
"Grandpa told me that everything has its own reason for operation. Some seemingly insignificant things may play a big role. We should carefully observe the changes around us."
"This world is actually a huge information world. Whoever controls a large amount of information controls wealth..."
