The boy was about the same height as Gu Yunyang. He walked up to Jiang Yiyi with Gu Yunyang and called her "Sister-in-law" in a cute and sweet voice.
"What snacks do you want? It's my treat."
Several people seemed unable to believe it and looked at Gu Yunyang. Gu Yunyang was a little confused. He thought that his sister-in-law would give them a severe lesson.
"Not eating?"
“Eat, eat, eat…”
One of the fatter boys was grinning from ear to ear. They used the money they extorted from their classmates to buy snacks, but those classmates were too poor and it took them many days to extort just a few cents.
There was a grocery store near the school, and Jiang Yiyi led them there and let them choose whatever they wanted.
A few guys were really rude and bought a lot each. Jiang Yiyi paid the money, led them to a secluded place to sit down, and motioned them to put the snacks on the ground and eat together.
A few guys followed suit and sat on the ground, tearing open the snack packages and eating.
Gu Yunyang sat next to Jiang Yiyi, feeling very nervous, not knowing what she was up to.
Jiang Yiyi opened a bag of biscuits, took two for herself, and handed the rest to him. Gu Yunyang took it nervously, and when he saw Jiang Yiyi eating, he also took one and ate it.
After moving to the county town, there was no shortage of snacks at home. When the eldest sister bought snacks for Tiantian and Yueyue, she would also buy some for him and Yuncan.
"Is it tasty?"
Jiang Yiyi asked after eating half of the snacks.
Several guys nodded in unison.
"Would you like to eat it more often?"
Several people nodded rapidly.
"If you move up one place in each exam, I will give Yun Yang one dollar and let him buy you snacks. If you move up two places, I will give you two dollars. And so on. The more you move up in the rankings, the more money I will give you."
"real?"
"real?"
The three guys said in unison, their eyes lit up.
"certainly."
The three guys were very excited. If they all stepped forward and registered, they would have five yuan to buy half of the snacks in the canteen.
“Hook!”
It was the fat guy who stretched out his hand first, and then the others followed suit.
"I can make a pinky promise, but I have a condition."
"From today on, don't bully other students. If you bully them once, you will be fined."
"ah?"
The hair is enough for them to have snacks for several days.
"No more bullying, no more bullying."
Guaranteed.
Jiang Yiyi made pinky promises with them one by one and asked them to share the remaining snacks back home.
Gu Yunyang followed beside him, feeling full of guilt. When his father was alive, the family was rich and all the children in the village were willing to play with him. Later, his father passed away suddenly, and the family's situation plummeted. No one wanted to play with him, and he was also somewhat excluded in school, which made him feel very disappointed. After coming to the county town, he saw those guys all arm in arm, like good brothers, and he was very envious. He wanted to integrate with them, but he never bullied female classmates with them, nor did he blackmail other classmates with them.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I will never indulge myself again."
After all, he was still a child, so Jiang Yiyi didn't blame him too much. She touched his head and said, "Sister-in-law knows that you are very smart, but you have to use your intelligence in the right way, such as improving your academic performance and getting into a good university in the future."
Gu Yunyang nodded heavily, "I understand."
Jiang Yiyi did not tell Gu's mother and Gu Yunchi about this.
In the next few days, Gu Yunchi went out early and came back late every day, looking for a suitable homestead. Jiang Yiyi gave her a savings book with 20,000 yuan and ignored everything else. When Gu Yunchi took a fancy to a homestead, he went to take a look. It was not far from the market and the location was good.
Jiang Yiyi asked her to buy all the vacant land in the surrounding area. The county would develop rapidly in a few years and this place would definitely be developed.
Two days later, the shop owner came over and asked her to answer the phone.
Wang Shan called, "Sister-in-law, I found a few shops. When are you free to come and take a look?"
"I'll go there tomorrow."
"Okay, call me after you buy the ticket and I'll pick you up at the station."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yiyi paid the money and gave the proprietress one extra dollar as she had agreed.
The lady boss was beaming with joy and complimented Jiang Yiyi a few times. Then the phone rang and she picked it up. A pleasant male voice came from the other end, "Please call Jiang Yiyi for me."
The proprietress hesitated for a moment and gave the phone to Jiang Yiyi, but her heart was bleeding. Even if the call came a few seconds later, she would still make one more dollar.
"Hello?"
"I'm Zhao Qin. Wang Shan said she has found a few shops. Let's go take a look. I'll drive to pick you up and go to Beijing together."
Jiang Yiyi was just dreaming; riding in a car was much more comfortable than riding in a train.
"Okay, I'll go back and pack my things and leave. See you at the city bus station."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yiyi paid the phone bill again and still gave the boss's wife one dollar more.
The lady boss's face was filled with smiles. "Yiyi, call home more often in the future. No matter how busy I am, I will go and call for help."
"Thank you very much, Auntie."
After returning to Dongfang, Jiang Yiyi did not tell Jiang's father, Jiang's mother and Gu's mother that she was going to Beijing. She lied and said that the factory in the provincial capital was changing the packaging and she had to go there.
Few people suspected him.
When they heard her leaving, Tiantian and Yueyue said in childish voices, "Aunt, we will miss you."
Jiang Yiyi kissed each of them on the cheek, "Aunt will miss you too."
After packing her things, Jiang's father sent her to the bus station, and kept asking her to be careful on the way.
Jiang Yiyi agreed obediently. A mother worries about her child even when he is far away, and all parents in the world are the same.
I got on the bus and arrived in the city. I didn't go to the market, but waited at the bus station. After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhao Qin drove up. He was driving the new car he bought.
Jiang Yiyi sat in the back and put her luggage on the back seat.
After thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Qin, "If you are tired of driving, I can drive too."
She didn't want Zhao Qin to drive while tired. Although there were fewer cars in this era, the roads were difficult to drive on and it was easy to have a car accident.
“Can you drive?”
Zhao Qin was surprised.
"Um."
Jiang Yiyi didn't say much.
Zhao Qin did not ask any more questions. Although Jiang Yiyi said so, he was reluctant to let her drive. He had bought the car less than a month ago and he liked it very much. Of course, Wang Shan was not an exception.
"OK."
All the way to Beijing, Zhao Qin never complained of being tired.
Wang Shan was waiting for them at the agreed place. She saw the familiar car and waved to them. Zhao Qin drove the car in front of her and slowly stopped, looking exhausted. "We are finally here."
"Are you tired of driving?"
"Um."
"You sit in the passenger seat and I'll drive."
Zhao Qin sat over and Wang Shan got in the car. "Sister-in-law, shall we go to the hotel first or go to the store?"
If Jiang Yiyi were here, she would invite her sister-in-law to live in her house. If Zhao Qin came along, she would not go to her house.
"Let's go check out the store first. It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Before Jiang Yiyi could speak, Zhao Qin spoke first, saying that he hadn't seen Wang Shan for nearly a day, and he missed her terribly and wanted to be with her all the time.
