They had walked quite a distance when the little boy was still diligently raising his chubby little hand to explain.
"Let's take a car!"
The little girl's cute voice was almost hoarse from shouting, and two people in the neighboring police station courtyard were looking up at them. Jian Dan seemed to see the mockery in their eyes. Wasn't that awkward?
She forced a smile, picked up the child, and hurried back. The little one kept turning back, trying to look away.
"Mommy, Mommy, wait, wait, she hasn't finished speaking yet!"
He strode into the courtyard in one go, slammed the gate shut, and
Shh! They heard you. Don't worry, they'll definitely do it for you.
“I also want to tell him,”
"No need, he already knows."
"Mother!"
"Alright, alright, go take a nap. When you wake up, we'll ride in this new car to show Uncle Lin, okay?"
The child was still young and easy to fool. A few words were enough to distract him. He happily touched his new car seat, then rubbed his bulging little belly and went to wash his hands and face. He simply straightened up and glanced speechlessly at the police station next door.
Honestly, how can public officials be so fond of watching a spectacle?
Qin Qingjiang dragged two burlap sacks back to the county government compound. Only then did he realize what was happening. Looking at the sacks in his hands, he hesitated before asking Xi Ping'an...
"What did we just say? What were we going to do?"
Xi Pingan shook his head.
"You, you're such a shrewd person. I didn't realize that when you met your niece, you not only lost your mind but also your memory."
"I told you to take on everything, so go ahead and do it!"
Amnesia is not an option, but Qin Qingjiang strongly doubted whether he had been possessed by a demon or something just now. How could he have said such a boast? His skills, which were not even at the beginner level, could make a children's car?
Simple didn't know Qin Qingjiang well, and only thought that his confident statement meant he was well-prepared, so she put it out of her mind. The next day, she rode her modified bicycle and took the little one to the machinery factory.
Now that she knew about Jian Zhong's situation, she couldn't just ignore it completely. She was also genuinely worried, so she rushed over to check on him.
After giving her name to the gatekeeper, she was surprised by his enthusiasm. He pulled her aside and praised Jian Zhong at length. Even though Jian Zhong is not good at small talk, he chatted with her for several minutes. Soon, a spirited Jian Zhong strode out. Along the way, Jian stood at the gate watching as almost everyone he met greeted him with a smile. Jian was quite amazed.
To be honest, my memory of Jian Zhong is a bit blurry. Mainly because the original owner was really young at that time, just old enough to remember things, so I only vaguely remember a tall figure.
"Wow, Grandpa Zhong is so popular?"
"Ha ha,"
The old gatekeeper was proud.
"At first, we were also thinking, what can someone so old do when they enter the factory? Aren't they supposed to be skilled workers? They can't do any physical labor. But in just two days, the logistics problem was solved. You tell me, at our age, we don't have the strength to make any contributions, so what else is there to worry about? It's just about eating and drinking."
Since he came, the food in the cafeteria has improved a lot, let me tell you,”
The security guard lowered his voice mysteriously.
"He's really a good friend. I just like to smoke, and he's the only one who understands that. He even managed to get his hands on those hard-to-buy Hongta cigarettes. Sigh!"
It's much stronger than tobacco!
As they were talking, Jian Zhong arrived at the gate. His eyes lit up when he saw Jian Dan, and he quickened his pace considerably.
"Little one... what brings you here?"
After greeting the gatekeeper, he secretly slipped something to her as they passed each other, then led Jian Dan to a secluded spot.
"Young Miss, what brings you here?"
Seeing the little cub sitting properly on the main beam, his tone softened considerably.
"Miss Yan Yan, you've come too?"
I'd seen him once, and the little guy still remembered me. I thought about it...
"grandfather!"
"Why!"
He simply twitched his lips, not correcting the child. "Grandpa it is then," Jian Zhong thought. He always considered himself a servant, and he would never agree to let the child call him "great-grandfather."
"Grandpa Zhong, why did you decide to go to the factory? You're so old, can you handle this kind of intensity? Our family isn't short of money, you can enjoy your retirement."
Jian Zhong was a burly man, though most of his hair was already white. When he laughed, the wrinkles on his face trembled.
"Miss, it's alright, don't worry. I'm still as healthy as ever. I'm not tired at all. It's just a bit of talking, nothing different from before. If I were to suddenly become idle, I would be the one who wouldn't be used to it."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be forcing himself, and that his energy and spirit were even better than when we last met, I felt a little relieved.
"Then you must take good care of your health, use your brain and your mouth, and send the younger ones to do any errands or physical labor. You can't push yourself anymore."
"Oh, don't worry, young lady. The old man is in good health and can live for a few more years. He will definitely take good care of this family business for you."
Simple and helpless,
“Grandpa Zhong, this is all the result of your hard work over the years. You really don’t need to do this. It’s not like it was a few years ago. We’re not outsiders now, so there’s no need for such formalities.”
"That won't do,"
Jian Zhong was quite resolute on this point.
"I promised the two old men. I may not have many merits, but I will always listen to the old men. This is the wealth that the two old men earned for you, Miss. I must protect it for you. When I am gone, I must hand it over to you intact."
