There is a mountain in her arms

Grandpa Jiang entrusted the orchard to the new village chief Jiang Qingfeng, who was of the same generation as Jiang Weiguo in the Jiang family. He also called in a witness, Qin Dawang, who was also their neighbor.

"Qingfeng, my orchard is starting to bear fruit now. Although the yield is not much, it is still a considerable income. I think the income from this orchard will be used as public funds in the village to repair the Jiang-style ancestral hall or take care of the elderly and widows."

Qin Dawang said nothing, because this ancestral hall belonged to the Jiang family. Jiang Qingfeng heard this unexpected surprise and thanked Grandpa Jiang.

"Second Uncle Gao Yi, I thank you on behalf of the entire Jiang family."

Grandpa Jiang waved his hand and continued with his unfinished words.

"However, I have entrusted this orchard to the care of Brother Guan Er in the village. The old couple have a grandson and are in poor health. They don't have much land, so they live a hard life. From now on, I will not pay for their care. I will directly deduct 40% of the income from the orchard to them, and the remaining 60% will be considered as public funds for the village."

"Uncle Guan will suffer a loss this way."

Jiang Qingfeng is quite honest. The fruit trees were planted by Grandpa Jiang, taken care of by Uncle Guan, but the profits belong to the village.

"If he grows watermelons in my orchard in the future, all the profits will belong to him. I'm also afraid that the villagers will feel unbalanced and cause trouble for Brother Guan."

Grandpa Jiang's words made Jiang Qingfeng and Qin Dawang blush. They looked at each other, gestured with their hands, and reached a consensus.

"Uncle, Da Wang and I are here to sign an agreement with you on behalf of the village. Half of the harvest from the orchard will go to Uncle Guan. If he wants to grow watermelons, the watermelon profits will also belong to him. The other half will be used as a donation to repair the ancestral hall and for the elderly and widows. Don't worry, I will control the villagers from causing trouble for Uncle Guan. After all, his son Ah Hai grew up with us. Although he is gone, I can't just watch them get bullied."

"Okay! You should lead the villagers to have a long-term vision and not always focus on the small piece of land in this village. There are many opportunities outside now. Look more, think more, and ask more questions."

"Hey! I know."

After Grandpa Jiang signed two copies of the agreement with them, he went to Second Brother Guan's house to talk about the matter.

"Brother, if we don't come back in the future, this orchard will be yours. But I'm afraid the villagers will have objections, so I gave half of the income from the fruit trees to the villagers to repair the ancestral hall or take care of the elderly. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Thank you! Thank you! I know you are planning for our future. This is equivalent to giving me money for free and avoiding future troubles. I really don't know how to thank you? Niu Niu, come and kowtow to Grandpa Jiang and thank him."

Guan Er and his wife were so excited that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, nor did they know how to express their gratitude, so they wanted their grandson to kowtow to them.

"Don't! Don't! Brother Guan, a man's knees are as precious as gold. Although Niu Niu is small, his knees are as precious as a thousand pounds. The child should study hard in the future and repay the kindness of grandpa and grandma for raising him."

"Grandpa Jiang Er, I will definitely do it."

Niu Niu is six years old now and is well educated.

"Okay! Okay! Then I'll go first. We'll be leaving tomorrow. Second Brother Guan, you can grow things in the orchard. Those that don't belong to the village are yours."

"Okay, I get it. I can't give you anything nice to thank you. I'm sorry!"

"Hey! Why are you talking about this? I still remember that if you hadn't pulled me out of the river when I was a child, I would have died long ago."

It turned out that Grandpa Jiang almost drowned in the river when he was a child, and Guan Er passed by and saved him, so the first person Grandpa Jiang thought of at that time was Guan Er.

"You still remember what happened when you were a kid!"

"How could I not remember? That was the first time I faced death."

Grandpa Jiang still feels scared when he thinks about it now. Guan Er patted him on the shoulder and sent him away.

After Grandma Jiang put everything in order, she went to her son's grave to say a few words, and then returned to the city with Jiang Weiguo the next day.

Grandma Jiang packed up all her personal belongings and asked Jiang Yichen to put them in the space. Grandpa Jiang took Jiang Weiguo to the stationery factory in Linshi for a look.

Wang Quan called his mother and told her about the store in front of the school, and that was all that happened here.

After handing the keys to Jiang Weiguo and telling him about all the household items, Grandpa Jiang and his family boarded the train to Beijing.

This time, Jiang Yichen did not take them to Jinguiyuan, but to the courtyard house with four entrances and four courtyards that she bought three years ago.

"Sister Cheng, did you buy this too?"

Wang Quan's eyes widened. Although the old couple had heard from Jiang Yichen that this was their first time here, they were deeply shocked.

"Yes! My sister and I came here together. Brother Quan, I have one too. I'll take you to see it later. My yard is also very beautiful."

An An showed off a little and held her sister's hand again.

"Sister, open the door! Show grandpa and grandma how beautiful our new home is!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Yichen nodded, and in the second year after she bought it, she asked Tang Chao to hire someone to renovate the place for her. It took almost two years to restore it.

The simple and heavy door slowly opened, and what came into view were two kumquat trees, which were full of yellow fruits, small and cute.

Wang Quan subconsciously picked two and handed one to An An.

"Mmm! This little orange is so sweet."

Jiang Yichen brought in the luggage they were using as a cover and closed the door directly.

"Let's go! I'll show you around the whole yard and see which one you like?"

As soon as everyone stepped into the first entrance of Chunliu Garden, it felt like they had arrived in a fairyland.

Ignoring the weeping willows in the yard and the endless spring scenery in the garden, the carved railings and painted pillars and the exquisitely crafted flying dragon in the sky are enough to shock people.

"Sister Cheng, could this be a restoration of an ancient creation? It's so lifelike!"

Wang Quan pointed at the dragon and asked a stupid question.

"This should have been created by a special craftsman, but it cost a lot of money. In order to suit the scenery of each courtyard, they also took great pains. Of course, the money spent is also in contrast, you don't need to know this."

Grandma Jiang felt a little distressed.

"Isn't it just a yard? I don't dare live here when it's so well built. Will I wake up and think I'm in ancient times?"

"Grandma, didn't I spend so much money just to live comfortably? If you decorate a yard like this casually, don't you think it doesn't match? Besides, if you can spend money, you can make money. If you don't spend money, the economy won't circulate, and the country won't develop."

Jiang Yichen's words made Grandma Jiang not know how to refute, so she just tapped her forehead.

"Just make it up! You always have a point anyway."

"Grandma, there is a primary school near this yard, so it will be convenient for An An to go to school. And it's not far from Beijing University, so I can ride a bike to school. But it seems that I have to live on campus in my first year of university. I wonder if you can ask Mr. Qi to make some arrangements for me?"

The reason why Jiang Yichen chose this place is because the public security management in this area is relatively better and there is a public security bureau nearby.

Even if she has to live on campus, she won't have to worry about the safety of her family. And this place is indeed closer to An An's school, while Jingui Garden is relatively far away.

"Then find a chance to visit Mr. Qi and mention this matter."

Grandma Jiang also wanted her granddaughter to live at home, and instantly forgot her previous confusion.

"I know. I want to visit the teacher when I have time this time. Okay, let me show you around the courtyards! Each courtyard has its own unique scenery."

Jiang Yicheng took them to visit the yard, and the old couple finally chose the second-floor summer lotus garden because they planned to open a vegetable garden in the yard, and there was a lotus pond there for easy watering.

Jiang Yicheng chose Qiufeng Garden, which was close to her grandparents. An An chose Chunliu Garden. Wang Quan felt that he was always an outsider and chose to live with An An.

However, since An An was still young, he temporarily lived in his grandparents' Xiahe Garden. Wang Quan was eager to become An An's neighbor.

Jiang Yichen wanted a private space of his own, so he lived alone in Qiufeng Garden.

Jiang Yichen and everyone else familiarized themselves with the routes nearby, prepared some daily necessities for the family, and then planned to visit Mr. Qi.

Wang Quan also called his mother and left the address of the courtyard house.

An An still needed Jiang Fengying's help with the transfer procedures, so she called them and told them the address of her new home.

Jiang Fengying was still very concerned about An An's affairs, and she came over with Gu Yanbang the next day.

"Uncle and aunt, your courtyard is much more magnificent than ours. Compared with yours, ours really looks like a slum."

Jiang Fengying was greatly surprised when she saw their yard. She exclaimed in amazement while visiting it. She was indeed an educator. She praised it to the sky with every word she said.

"You are really good at making analogies. There is no place like home, no place like that. Our place is big, and you are always welcome to stay here."

Grandma Jiang felt so warmed by her praise that she had long forgotten her previous heartache.

"Then you're welcome. Living here makes you feel happy every day when you wake up."

"Godmother, my yard is big, you can live with me from now on, and I will be filial to you."

An An served her tea and sat down next to her.

"Then godmother will be waiting. You have a much better conscience than your brother."

"Godmother, Brother Yuxuan still hasn't come back this summer vacation?"

"No! They are very strict there and won't let them go easily. They are training even during the summer vacation and their schoolwork is very heavy."

"It's okay! I'll take care of him first, and we'll be together when he comes back."

An An's words touched Jiang Fengying's heart, and Gu Yanbang was also somewhat moved. However, as a soldier, he was not polite, and his eyes only flickered a few times.

"Chengcheng, I heard from my uncle that your factory is developing very well and has earned him a lot of credit. He might be promoted to another place, but he wants to take over as the district party secretary and doesn't want to go anywhere else."

Gu Yanbang was chatting with her about business. Ever since the incident of buying ginseng to build roads, Gu Yanbang spoke to her as an equal individual.

"We are mutually beneficial. If he can really take over as the district party secretary, it will be very good for the future development of my factory. I am confident that I can help him earn more merits, and there may be unexpected results in the future."

Jiang Yichen kept the secret on purpose, and Gu Yanbang did not ask any further questions. He planned to reveal some information to his uncle when the time comes, and let him think about it carefully.

"Old Gu, you have to ask your uncle to be more careful. It's good to have a big tree to enjoy the shade. Don't miss such a good opportunity."

Jiang Fengying also understood some of their political strategies and gave them some secret reminders.

"I know what's going on. Go and help An An with the formalities today! I'm afraid I won't have time to come back later. I've finally found my feet, and I've been busy with a lot of cases lately."

"Godfather, what cases have you been busy with recently? Isn't the public security in Beijing always good?"

"Hey! I don't know why there have been many cases of missing children in our Chaoyang District recently. I came here this time to give you a warning."

"Has he been trafficked? Have you checked at the train station? We've encountered him twice before at the train station."

"Oh? Why haven't I heard you say that? Tell me about it."

Gu Yanbang's heart moved and he asked Jiang Yichen to tell him what happened.

"What? Cheng Cheng, why didn't you tell us about this?"

As soon as Jiang Yicheng mentioned it, they knew something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, the old couple's faces turned pale with fright.

"Grandpa and grandma, it's all in the past. We didn't tell you because we didn't want you to worry."

Grandma Jiang glared at him fiercely, but couldn't bring herself to blame him. The child must have been scared at the time, and there was no point in pursuing the issue now.

"Don't do this again."

"Well, I know."

Jiang Yichen didn't want to tell the truth in front of the old couple and make them worry, so she took Gu Yanbang to her own yard to talk.

Gu Yanbang heard the two incidents mentioned by Jiang Yicheng and thought they might be related, because their methods of committing crimes were similar and their targets were similar children.

"You gave me a clue here. I will go back and analyze these two cases again."

"Godfather, do you think any of those who were arrested at that time will be released?"

"How is that possible? They won't be released for at least seven or eight years. If the circumstances are serious, the sentence will be even heavier, maybe even death penalty."

"What if they have someone above them? Or if there's a traitor in your organization?"

"Cheng Cheng, stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Yanbang was a little angry. This was a lack of trust in the country.

Jiang Yicheng had experienced past lives, so she knew that there were always parasites in every era. Seeing that Gu Yanbang was angry, she stopped talking, but her expression still made Gu Yanbang hesitate.

"I'll go back and check. Don't say this kind of thing outside in the future. Although freedom of speech is advocated now, we still have to be cautious."

"Ok!"

"Also, your grandma is right. Don't go on long trips alone anymore. Don't rush forward foolishly when you encounter danger. Someone will take care of it."

"Godfather, I dare to travel far because I am confident in my skills. I fought with Chu Zhonghui last time, and I was on par with him."

"That can't be taken lightly. Sometimes it's often the arrogance that leads to losses."

"I see!"

Seeing that Gu Yanbang was so stubborn and knowing that he meant well, Jiang Yichen compromised a little.

Gu Yanbang didn't eat much at noon because he was worried. He urged Jiang Fengying to finish the formalities quickly and took Jiang Fengying back in the afternoon.

The old couple also understood, so they didn't keep them any longer. They packed two big watermelons and some strawberries and grapes for them, and watched their car leave.

"Chengcheng, An'an, and Wang Quan, no matter what bad things happen to you in the future, you must tell us."

Grandpa Jiang looked at the three of them seriously, and Grandma Jiang also stared at them without saying a word.

"understood."

The three of them nodded obediently. Jiang Yicheng knew that if there were any more troubles in the future, she would not tell the old couple and make them worry for nothing.

The old couple was satisfied, but still glared at Jiang Yichen and turned into the yard.

"Sister, we were scared to death just now. When you were talking to godfather, grandpa and grandma were interrogating us. Fortunately, we were smart enough to get away with it. Don't let anything slip."

An An whispered to Jiang Yichen what they had just organized.

"Okay, this will be the unified answer from now on."

These two people were quite smart. They just took An An out and put it on someone else.
