Wu An said, "We need to sell the ambergris as soon as possible, otherwise, we can't leave the old house unattended."
"Aqing."
“Go home now, and then come find me.”
"I don't feel at ease sleeping alone in the old house."
Aqing nodded: "Okay, I'll be going now."
"Brother, can I tell Mom about the ambergris?"
Wu An nodded.
Ambergris is different from white butterfly shells; it's a one-time transaction. Once it's said, it's said. Besides, he plans to go find Old Zhang after he's rested and make the sale as soon as possible. Even if Li Juan or his family accidentally let it slip, it won't be a big problem.
At most, he'll be envied, jealous, and resentful, with people saying things like, "How come this handsome guy is so lucky?"
When Aqing arrived.
Mei Wu and Old Fu then left.
After they left, Wu An closed the doors and windows, and he and A Qing, one at the head and one at the tail, fell fast asleep, guarding the ambergris.
Ambergris in this state doesn't smell very good.
But the two of them didn't care about the smell. They were already exhausted and sleepy, and had even reached their limit. After lying down, they started snoring one after the other.
...
Wu An woke up, picked up his phone and checked it; he had slept for about nine hours.
Aqing is still asleep.
He subconsciously tried to sit up by supporting himself with his hands, but failed several times. His arms felt like they didn't belong to him anymore. He tried to make a fist, but what should have been an instantaneous movement took him several seconds.
He even needs to concentrate to clench his fist.
Old Fu had warned him that this was a side effect of overwork.
He kicked Xing Aqing.
Ah Qing woke up groggily: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Wu An: "It's nothing, I just wanted to kick you."
Aqing: "..."
Get out of bed.
With great effort, he opened the door and saw Wu Yingwei and Wu Ping squatting at the doorway. When they saw him open the door, they stood up and greeted him, "Get up."
Wu An asked in surprise, "Dad, Big Brother, what brings you here?"
Wu Ping said, "We wouldn't have come if you had..."
He quickly covered his mouth as he said this.
Wu Yingwei coughed once: "Let's go inside and talk."
We went inside.
Wu Ping asked, "A'an, let me see the ambergris."
Aqing lifted the cloth covering the ambergris, and Wu Ping went over to look. He couldn't help but gasp. The ambergris, which was originally smaller than a fist, had sold for tens of thousands.
What about this one?
Wu Ping felt a little dizzy: "God, God..."
He couldn't help but laugh.
This joy was impossible to suppress.
Although he wouldn't get a single penny from the ambergris, he was still happy.
Then.
He quickly covered the ambergris incense back with a cloth.
Wu An poured Wu Ping a cup of tea and said, "Brother, sit down and have some tea to calm down."
Wu Ping downed the drink in one gulp: "Ah An, another one."
Wu An gave A Qing a look.
Aqing pours the tea.
Wu An looked at Wu Yingwei and asked, "Dad, what brings you here?"
Wu Yingwei snorted: "Still saying..."
“We only found out about this when your Aunt Juan came to our house and told us.”
"Yueqin originally said she was coming too, but I didn't let her. The whole family came to the old house to keep watch. Even a fool would know there's something fishy going on."
Wu An scratched his head.
Wu Yingwei continued, "Don't worry, we're talking inside the house, so there won't be any eavesdroppers."
"How heavy is this?"
How much is it worth?
Wu An said, "If we go by the price of those few pieces of ambergris we sold before, it would be around 20 million. Old Master Zhang kept them for his own use before, but he was eager to buy them, so he offered a higher price."
"It's hard to say what price such a large volume of ambergris would fetch."
"But no matter how cheap it is, it will definitely sell for eight figures."
After listening.
Wu Yingwei took two deep drags on his cigarette.
He remained silent.
Wu An continued, "Dad, I didn't have that much money before, so there were some things I didn't say."
"I plan to develop my business in the village in the future."
"I'd like to ask you what your plans are for the village's development?"
Wu Yingwei was taken aback.
Wu An was taken aback: "Dad, you don't have it?"
Wu Yingwei nodded: "What kind of plan do you need?"
"If I do a good job as the village head, I'll be doing a pretty good job fulfilling the tasks assigned by my superiors and serving the villagers well."
Wu An said with exasperation, "Don't you want to lead the villagers to prosperity and a better life?"
Wu Yingwei laughed: "I'm worrying so much, whether I can get rich or not depends on my own ability. Whoever has the ability can achieve a comfortable life..."
Wu An didn't know what to say.
It's not that we're just getting by, but rather that this is the current situation.
He was too lazy to say more.
Let's see how things go.
He turned to Wu Ping and said, "Brother, I heard you've sponsored some students. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to help."
Wu Ping smiled and said, "You've already been helpful."
"You received compensation before, didn't you?"
"I used it to fund students, still in your name."
Wu An glared: "You used my name?"
"Are you stupid?"
"What use is this reputation to me? Don't you want a permanent position or to be officially employed?"
Wu Ping lit a cigarette: "That's not something I can just decide to do."
Wu An said, "Alright, I'll take care of it for you."
"Since you're sponsoring students in my name, why don't you take me for a tour sometime?"
Wu Ping said, "Okay."
"However, our school is dilapidated and there's nothing to see. If you want to see those kids, I can have them come to my house."
Wu An waved his hand: "It's all broken and tattered, isn't it?"
"Okay, this is what I want."
"Go to school."
Previously, he had been thinking about how to help his brother solve the problem of teacher qualification. Actually, it was simple: troubles that can be solved with money are not really troubles.
It's not that he's gotten arrogant.
Now that they have money, they start messing around.
In fact, he had already thought about these things countless times in his mind.
before.
They were struggling because they had no money.
Even if you think about it, you can't put it into practice.
Things are different now.
night.
Mei Yueqin called him to come eat. After the meal, he returned to the old house. Only then did his father and elder brother go back. As long as Longyanxiang was around, the old house could not be left unattended.
Wu Yingwei became even more cautious, saying that he couldn't be alone.
Aqing stayed overnight.
night.
The world has changed.
It was windy and rainy.
It's nothing.
It's just another typhoon.
The next morning.
After having breakfast, Wu An rode his bike to town, visited the fast food restaurant, looked around, pointed out some minor issues, and asked Mei Wen to organize an opening event.
Offer a discount or something.
Mei Wen took out her notebook and wrote everything down.
After leaving the fast food restaurant, Wu An rode his bike around the town's village and unexpectedly ran into Leader Xi. Leader Xi was very optimistic about the project, and Mai Hangyu said that this was already his third visit.
Wu An was very pleased with this.
The winds of cultural tourism are about to blow, but who is blowing this wind, and who can make it bigger and louder?
No matter how well he does, he still needs the support of the relevant department leaders.
The support of leaders is actually better than any interest-free loan.
