There is a mountain in her arms

When Mr. Chi and Qiu Liping learned that Jiang Yichen had bought two courtyard houses, their faces were filled with surprise.

No one could answer their questions, so Chi Yuan and the others packed up and called Tang Chao to leave.

"Dad, are the people in the countryside so wealthy now? Is the village you live in a good place?"

"No! Most of them are not enough to eat."

"Then this..."

"Their ancestors seem to have a rich family background, and the head of the family is also smart."

"I think these two siblings are also very smart."

The two of them guessed and thought they had found the reason.

After coming out of the Housing Management Office, Jiang Yichen casually put the procedural documents and house certificate into his backpack.

"Sister Jiang, you may have to wait a few days for the three-story courtyard. His son is in the hospital and will not be discharged for a few days."

"It's all right. Anyway, I'll be staying here for a while before going back."

"Sister Jiang, tell me the truth! Where are you from? I don't think you guys look like you're from the county town!"

"Well, no, we are from a small mountain village."

The Tang Dynasty stumbled.

"Don't joke like that."

"Brother Tang Chao, we are from Jiangcha Village."

An An corrected him seriously, and Chi Yuan smiled and nodded.

“That’s where my grandfather and I were sent down.”

"Ah? Your small mountain village has great development prospects, take me with you."

Tang Chao felt that this really overturned his cognition, and then he came up with an idea after his eyes rolled.

"No. People in our village can barely get enough food and clothing, but if there is any development in the future, I will contact you first."

Jiang Yicheng was joking with him, but Tang Chao took it seriously.

"So generous! I'm waiting for you to help me get rich."

"By the way, do you want to look at houses near the university? I'll sort out some tonight."

"Just take a look if you don't want to pay. I don't have the money to buy two yards."

Jiang Yicheng was joking, but Tang Chao didn't think it mattered and just treated it as a way to keep in touch.

"for free!"

Tang Dynasty is still very reliable. They organize apartments near universities and some small floors.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Yicheng went to the bank to exchange two gold bars.

If she didn't buy it now, she would definitely spend more money in the future. Otherwise, she would not be willing to touch the gold, knowing that this thing would definitely appreciate in value in the future.

Tang Chao took them to look at houses for three days, but Jiang Yichen still couldn't help but buy two, one with two bedrooms and the other with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

Chi Yuan also bought two sets, one next to hers.

Three days later, Tang Chao took her to transfer the ownership of the house to the owner of the courtyard house with three entrances.

The owner of the house was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. Tang Chao told her that he was actually only in his forties.

Jiang Yichen sighed a little, but looking at his calm face, she handed him the gift in her hand.

"I heard that your son was in the hospital. Give him these things to nourish him. I hope he gets well soon! We will take good care of your yard. My brother really likes it."

"Thank you!"

The old man staggered away, the years had left deep marks on him.

Another week passed before Jiang Yichen remembered to ask about his high school entrance examination results.

She called the village, and Grandpa Jiang was a little excited holding the phone.

"Chengcheng, you scored 608, first in the city. The threshold of your home is almost trampled down. When do you plan to come back?"

"Grandpa, don't worry about it. My goal remains the same, it's still No. 1 Middle School in the city."

"Okay, okay! I'll listen to you. So when will you come back?"

"Well, I was planning to visit the teachers, but they've been very busy lately. I guess I'll go back if it doesn't happen, and if they have time I'll go back after visiting them."

"Yes, yes, you should thank them for doing so well in the exam. Your grandma and I will wait for you at home!"

"Okay! You should take care of yourselves too! Grandpa, don't hang up yet. An An wants to say a few words to you."

Jiang Yichen saw An An leaning over and listening, so he handed the microphone to him.

An An anxiously took the microphone and started talking to his grandfather with great excitement.

"Congratulations, you are the top scorer in the high school entrance examination!"

The microphone was not very soundproof, and Chi Yuan also heard their conversation.

"Not worth mentioning! But thank you anyway!"

Jiang Yicheng reacted calmly and asked about Chi Yuan's plans.

"Grandpa Chi is the retired commander of the military region, and Uncle Chi is also the division commander of the military region. So what is your second uncle?"

"My second uncle is in politics."

"Can the military and political power come from the same family?"

"This is not ancient times. Civil and military officials cannot come from the same family. However, if they were all in the same system, most people would belong to different organizations to avoid suspicion."

"So are you going to be in the military or in politics?"

"I want to join the army, but my grandfather wants me to go into politics. My father is in his prime and has a long way to go. My second uncle's political career is not very smooth, and my cousin's personality is not suitable for politics. In addition, my second uncle's family is a bit complicated now. My grandfather is afraid that there will be accidents in the middle, so he wants me to go into politics."

"I was wondering why you didn't join the army. So that's why. Come on, maybe I'll need your protection in the future."

"Okay! Just because of what you said, I'll go into politics!"

"No! You should think about it yourself. I don't want to take the blame."

The two began to talk more and more off the topic, as if they were back in Jiangcha Village, where they often chatted in the mountains.

Jiang Yicheng still failed to visit the teachers, but asked Chi Yuan to bring gifts because her grandfather called and the school wanted her to go back.

This time, Mr. Chi specially arranged a car to take them back. Qiu Liping prepared a lot of things for them, and with the clothes and shoes she had bought before, the trunk was full.

"Grandpa Chi, Aunt Qiu, goodbye!"

"Chengcheng, you and An'an can come over and play next time when you are free. I will also take you shopping."

Jiang Yichen choked back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, waved to them, hurriedly pulled An An into the car, and urged the driver to drive.

Chi Yuan's shoulders were shaking as he tried to hold back his laughter, and Qiu Liping punched him in confusion.

Mr. Chi pretended not to see it, put his hands behind his back, hummed a little tune, and went to find someone to play chess with.

It was thrilling when we came, and peaceful when we left.

The driver took them to their new home in the city. Before she came back, she called her grandparents to come to the city for a reunion.

The driver kindly helped them carry the things into the house. Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang warmly invited him to stay for a meal at their home and even gave him a bag of fruit.

After closing the gate, Jiang Yichen slowly toured their new home.

This is a two-story independent courtyard, and there are many similar courtyards nearby.

The house is second-hand. The living room is right at the entrance on the first floor, and there are bedrooms on both sides. There are two bedrooms on one side and one bedroom on the other side connected to the stairwell.

There is a staircase on the right side of the back door of the living room, and the back door is connected to a corridor. The corridor directly connects to the kitchen and dining room at the back, and there is a bathroom in the right corner, and the front right is reserved for drying things in the future.

There are two rooms, a small living room and a bathroom on the second floor.

The design of the house is very ordinary, nothing new, but it has a large space.

There is a yard specially built in front of the building, and there is a small vegetable garden in the yard, but nothing is planted there now.

When they bought this yard, Gu Yanbang and Jiang Fengying used a lot of connections to find this place.

This place used to be an ordinary village, but because of its good geographical location, a high school was built nearby.

The surrounding residents have all relocated, and although this place is not within the relocation range, many people still moved away later.

After the college entrance examination was resumed, the school became lively again. The people who had moved away were very active and wanted to sell their houses. Jiang Yicheng and his friends took advantage of this opportunity.

"Chengcheng, you did well in the exam this time. Your school gave you a reward, and the city also gave you one."

Grandpa Jiang handed her a stack of money and a pen. Jiang Yicheng took it and counted out the three hundred yuan.

"Your school will give you a hundred yuan as a reward, and the city will give you two hundred yuan and a pen as a reward."

"Not bad! Take it! What does the school want me to do?"

"Principal Chen hopes that you can go back to school and share your learning experience with your classmates, especially those who are about to enter the third year of junior high school, to give them some encouragement."

Speaking of Principal Chen, it is fate. He was the principal when Jiang Yichen was in elementary school.

Unexpectedly, after entering junior high school, Principal Chen was promoted to principal because of her praise.

As the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Jiang Yichen still wants to continue the primary school model, so he can only negotiate with this old fox again.

The conditions were more stringent, but the result was achieved and everyone was satisfied. There were still many teachers who complained about this school, but they were all suppressed by Principal Chen.

"Okay! Give him some face and thank him for keeping me comfortable for so many years."

"Yes! I'll call him back and ask him to arrange a time."

"Grandpa, does An An's school need to inform in advance?"

"Your uncle Gu has already taken care of it, so just go and sign up when the time comes."

"Haha! If Gu Yuxuan knew this, he would say his father is biased!"

"Over the years, your uncle Gu and his wife have taken care of you in everything. You must repay them in the future."

"I will. Where's Grandma?"

"I'm cleaning the room for you guys! This building is hot, much hotter than in the village."

Grandpa Jiang was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, and in just a short while, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

It seems that there are electric fans now, but they are electrical appliances and most people are reluctant to buy them.

Jiang Yicheng was afraid that his grandmother was tired, so he hurried to help. Unexpectedly, An An was still considerate and was already helping.

"Sister, I have a room too. This one is yours, and this one is mine."

An An was very happy. In the village, he always slept with his grandparents. After coming to the city, he had his own room.

"Yes! Not bad, just tell me what configuration you need and I'll change it for you."

"Sister, didn't you say you had no money?"

An An was a little confused, as she clearly had no money left to buy a house in Beijing.

Jiang Yicheng paused. An An didn't know about the space yet. He certainly didn't know about the gold bars and jewels inside.

"Buying a house is so expensive! How much does it cost to decorate your room? My sister's bonus is more than enough to cover it."

"House? Are you going to Beijing to buy a house?"

Grandma Jiang caught the message while she was making the bed and listening to their conversation.

"An An, go call grandpa in and close the gate."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yichen remembered that she hadn't told them about the house yet.

"An An, why are you so nervous?"

"My sister has something important to announce, and no one else can hear it."

An An said seriously.

"Dangdangdang, Grandpa and grandma, look, this is what we gained in the capital."

Grandma Jiang didn't understand, so Grandpa Jiang picked it up and looked at it slowly.

"Chengcheng, why did you buy so many houses? There are two courtyard houses here too?"

"Yes. I own one of the courtyard houses, and An'an owns another. Grandpa, let me give you a simple analogy. How much would it cost to buy a house like this in the past?"

"It's just a little higher than what I built myself! Three to four hundred, no more than five hundred."

"So how much are we buying now?"

"two thousand!"

"You see prices are rising, consumption is rising, and people's living standards are improving. Do you think housing prices will also rise? Even if I'm wrong, the house is ours and it won't move away, can't I rent it out? On the other hand, if I'm right, in a few years, the money I spend on a house now may not be enough to buy a toilet."

"Chengcheng, this is too outrageous! Your house is worth thousands or tens of thousands! And you can't even afford a toilet?"

Grandma Jiang was a little shocked.

"Grandma, I'm just making an analogy. Grandpa, I've already given you the money, and it's too late for you to object now."

Jiang Yicheng was a very shameless person and even Grandpa Jiang was amused by him.

"I didn't say anything against it, but you just made a bunch of nonsense."

"Haha! Isn't this just acting first and asking for permission later? Aren't you afraid you'll be angry?"

"Why should I be angry? You have always had your own opinions since you were a child. When have we never listened to you?"

Grandpa Jiang rolled his eyes.

"Haha! That's because you love me!"

"Humph!"

Grandpa Jiang pouted proudly.

"Grandpa, let's go to the nearby city to do some activities! We need to get some capital and think about what to do. Although we have enough food and drink, others don't know about it!"

"Yes, old man, we don't have a way to make a living in the city, we can't just sit back and do nothing."

"Actually, I went to the capital this time and had a preliminary idea. Let's discuss it."

"Let's talk first."

“Buy stationery.”

"Is this reliable?"

"Grandpa, children nowadays are encouraged to study. Stationery is an indispensable item. And I think if we sell it at the school gate, you won't be tired."

“Is it allowed to sell at the school gate?”

"It would be best if you could get a shop so that you wouldn't be exposed to the wind or rain. After we make some money in the nearby city, we can go shopping near the school."

"But sister, how do you make money?"

An An didn't understand why her sister was so sure she could get the money. And grandpa and grandma didn't refute it, which was really strange.

"The mountain people have a plan! You just need to take good care of grandma at home."

"Well! I will."

The old couple were still confused as to what had been arranged and looked at each other in bewilderment.

It was mid-July, the heat of the day, and they stayed here for three days, buying everything they needed for their home.

Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Yichen first sent Grandma Jiang and An An back to the countryside. They stayed in the village for only one day and then bought tickets to go to the nearby city.

It was really because the villagers were so enthusiastic when they knew that Jiang Yichen, the top scholar, had returned.

Waves of villagers brought their children to the house, hoping that Jiang Yichen could teach them.

Moreover, most of them were Jiang family members, some of them were relatives, and they couldn't say anything too harsh. Jiang Yicheng politely declined and fled after staying for a day.
