There is a mountain in her arms

Chapter 34 Going Home and Confessing

After the first car was loaded, Manager Yang said goodbye to them and left.

The warehouse gradually cleared a space and they moved the scale inside.

Jiang Yichen didn't care about the details and just sat on the hay waiting for them.

When the second truck was loaded, Grandpa Jiang specially treated the porters to a watermelon.

It was so hot that everyone was sweating profusely. Only after eating watermelon did they feel better.

After the third truck was loaded and left, Axun and the porters finally had time to rest.

They just lay on the ground, closed their eyes and waited for the new truck to arrive.

Manager Yang was very thoughtful. He arranged for two more trucks to come over and brought them all boxed lunches, even for Jiang Yicheng and his grandson.

Grandpa Jiang declined for a while but finally accepted the offer. He even treated them to watermelon! This was much more expensive than the meal.

The lunch box didn't taste good, but it was filling, and the porters ate it with relish. Jiang Yicheng gave most of it to his grandfather, and only ate a little himself.

After the two warehouses were cleared, it was already afternoon. Ah Xun carefully compared each weighing with Grandpa Jiang, and only left with the car after finding no deviation.

After they walked away, Grandpa Jiang pushed the bicycle aside, locked the warehouse, and left with Jiang Yichen.

Their family bought two bicycles, one for the home and one for storage, just in case of emergency.

"Grandpa, after this period of time is over, I will tell An An about the space! It's not fair to hide it from him since everyone in the family knows about it. Besides, he's grown up now, and he'll understand if I analyze the seriousness of the matter with him. If we keep hiding it like this, he'll find out one day, and then he'll probably feel even worse."

"It's your decision. If anything goes wrong, don't regret it."

"What could possibly happen? I trust him."

"He won't get married when he grows up? You won't get married when you grow up?"

"Who knows what will happen in the future? I only feel the present. Besides, I taught An An, so he will definitely not be that kind of person."

The next morning, the two went to the department store to check out. Manager Yang asked how to contact them if the products sold well, and Grandpa Jiang said they would come to check the sales in about half a month.

Because the amount was large, they went directly to the bank to transfer the money, and left under the envious gazes of the bank staff. The two hurried back to check out and bought tickets to go somewhere else.

Nowadays, banks do not check strictly. As long as you have a name, you can open an account. They will not check where you are from, which saves them trouble.

This time Jiang Yicheng and his friends bought tickets to H Province, and they decided to travel across the province. However, this time, both of them pretended a little and did not act at the same time.

Following the same pattern, they traveled to many places and spent almost a month, exhausted like dogs. When they returned to Lin City to meet Manager Yang again, they were warmly welcomed by Manager Yang.

"Grandpa, didn't you say you would come back every two weeks? How come you've only come for a month? We're out of stock."

"Really? That's good! I've been busy working in the fields lately and can't leave!"

"Our department store wants to get another batch of goods. Is that a problem?"

Manager Yang pressed down the rims of his glasses and stared at Grandpa Jiang intently.

"No problem, we'll let you know when we're ready. This will take a lot of effort, and we'll also need to deploy manpower."

"Of course, I understand. Then I'll wait for your good news."

This time, Manager Yang excitedly shook hands with Grandpa Jiang.

The two of them came out and this time they didn't stay in a hotel, but went straight to the warehouse where they were last time.

They had rented the space for two months. Jiang Yichen brought his grandfather directly into the space and they ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the space. They started picking fruits day and night.

This time they laid out a large area, and they almost picked all the fruit from the fruit trees on the mountain in the space.

But after a few days, there would probably be no fruit left on the mountain, even the watermelons and grapes hanging on the wooden house had been picked clean.

"Grandpa, this is the only time we've done this this year. It's really tiring. My arms are just mechanical movements, and I can't ask for help. It's really tiring."

"Haha! This is all money. If you are tired, just take a rest and I will do it."

"Grandpa, the money you earn is just a bunch of numbers. You will earn more in the future, so stay calm."

"Chengcheng, Grandpa is not at your level. He has lived through many hard times in the past, so he just wants to earn more."

"Alright! Let's do our best!"

When they had picked all the fruits from the last tree, Jiang Yichen instantly felt relieved.

Grandpa Jiang was also very tired, but his heart was still burning with enthusiasm. Just thinking about it immediately gave him motivation.

He took a cold shower with mountain spring water, changed his clothes, and immediately went to report the news to Manager Yang.

The next day, at the same place, Jiang Yichen filled up the two warehouses and did not appear in front of anyone.

It was still Ah Xun who brought people to pick up the goods. This time they dispatched five trucks at a time and finished it faster than last time.

The next day, Grandpa Jiang went to see Manager Yang to settle the balance, saying that there were no more fruits in the later period and there would be a chance to cooperate again next year.

Manager Yang's eyes were a little subtle, but he still nodded.

The trip took more than a month, and Jiang Yicheng was about to start school. They returned with a lot of stuff, and they were very excited, buying a lot of local specialties.

"Grandma! An An! We are back!"

Grandpa Jiang drove Jiang Yicheng home. Jiang Yicheng pushed open the door of the yard eagerly. She hadn't seen her grandmother and An An for a long time and missed them very much.

"Sister! Sister! You're back!"

When An An heard the sound, she ran out of the room, her face full of surprise, and threw herself into Jiang Yichen's arms, complaining with a hint of grievance.

"Sister, why did you take so long this time?"

"Haha! Sorry, I'll take you with me next time. Look, grandpa and I brought you a lot of good things."

Jiang Yicheng pulled him away and pointed at something on the bicycle.

An An's attention was immediately attracted. Grandpa Jiang parked his bicycle and took down the things one by one.

"Grandpa, is this a tank model?"

An An held up an army green model car and asked his grandfather. They saw this in the department store and thought An An would like it, so they bought it and brought it back.

"Yeah! Do you like it?"

"I like it! Thanks, Grandpa!"

An An couldn't let it go and held it in his hand, touching it left and right.

Grandma helped Grandpa pack his things with a smile on her face. Jiang Yichen picked up a bag containing a set of clothes.

"Grandma, this is the clothes Grandpa picked especially for you, take a look!"

"I have a gift too! Why spend that much money?"

Grandma Jiang was delighted at first, but then she complained, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"This is Grandpa's idea! He's been very tired recently, busy day and night, and he has lost weight."

Jiang Yichen deliberately played the victim for his grandfather, but he did lose weight during this period.

"Look at you, you don't even know how to hold back. When you come back, I'll give you a good rest."

"Hey!"

Grandpa Jiang’s face was wrinkled with smile.

Jiang Yichen took out two more watches and gave one to Grandma and one to An An.

"You don't need a ticket for the watches this time. I took the opportunity to buy three. Grandpa has the one, and these two are yours."

"Thank you sister!"

An An was overjoyed and couldn't wait to put it on her hand.

"Chengcheng, why did you buy it for me? What a waste!"

My grandma doesn't want it and feels it would be a waste to give it to her.

"Grandma, this one with numbers on it is perfect for you. Besides, we made a lot of money this time, enough for us to spend for a few years, and there will be more opportunities in the future."

Jiang Yicheng forced his grandmother to wear the watch and taught her how to recognize a watch.

After sorting out their things and having a simple lunch, Jiang Yichen took An An into their grandparents' room.

Grandpa Jiang had already greeted grandma, so when Jiang Yichen sent grandpa and grandma into the space and then brought him into the space, An An's face was filled with uncontrollable shock.

"Where is this? What's going on? Why aren't you scared?"

An An subconsciously grabbed their hands and asked three questions in a row.

When Jiang Yicheng was pulling An An to introduce the space to him, A Chu came over.

It has grown big in the past few years, so Jiang Yichen no longer lets it out.

An An felt like he was dreaming, watching his grandparents skillfully traveling through space. He suddenly realized that he was the only one who didn't know.

"Sister, I actually have some impression of it from my childhood, but I don't know where it is. I should have stayed here when I was a child, but you didn't bring me in later. Why are you willing to tell me now?"

Jiang Yichen organized his words in his mind and was about to speak when Grandpa Jiang spoke first.

"An An, this is what I meant. Don't blame your sister."

"No, grandma, your grandpa and I decided together."

"Your sister was still young at the time, and we were afraid that if this great opportunity were leaked out, it would be dangerous for your sister, so we specifically told her not to tell anyone, including you. Because you were too young at the time, we were afraid that you would not be able to control your mouth and tell others, and then our family would be gone. Even now that your sister wants to tell you, I am hesitant. I don't know what you will do when you grow up. If you get married, will you still keep it to yourself? This is a gamble with your sister's life, but she is willing to trust you, so we can't say anything."

Grandpa Jiang's words made An An feel much better. He digested it silently and raised his head to face the three people.

"Grandpa, I know you're worried. Don't worry, I will never reveal my sister's secret. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I won't tell you. I swear!"

"I believe you, don't swear!"

Jiang Yicheng interrupted An An's oath and held his hand.

"An An, after your parents died, I brought you back home and raised you. I don't allow you to use your own life as an excuse, even as a joke."

"I understand, sister, thank you too!"

The family was relieved without any secrets. Grandpa and grandma took An An to see the fruit trees in the orchard and picked a watermelon to eat.

"Sister, this watermelon is so delicious now. I missed so much happiness in the past. You have to make it up to me."

An An was munching on the watermelon excitedly and joking.

"Sure, I'll let you eat as much as you want! I'm just afraid you can't eat more!"

The family talked and laughed, and Grandpa Jiang told them what they had gained from the trip.

"More than 110,000! Why is it so much?"

Grandma Jiang was shocked. She had never seen so much money in her life. An An also stopped talking and silently calculated while holding the watermelon in his mouth.

"Grandma, didn't you see that Grandpa and I have picked all the fruits on this mountain? We are so tired that we can't even lift our arms. If it weren't for the money, I would have come back a long time ago."

Jiang Yichen rubbed his arm, the pain still lingering in his memory.

“Sister, sister, you’ve suffered a lot. Take me with you next time. I can help you too!”

An An threw away the watermelon rind and patted his chest to make a promise. Jiang Yicheng looked at the watermelon juice on his chest and silently looked away.

"With your limited strength, how much help can you provide? Have you improved your skills during the time I was away?"

"No, I practiced longer when you weren't home. Grandma can vouch for me."

An An was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she looked at her grandmother eagerly.

Grandma Jiang nodded and vouched for him.

"When you're not at home, he doesn't go out. He practices every morning and evening, and reads in his room during the day. He's very well behaved."

"That's great! Tomorrow we'll go to the river to catch lobsters, and grandma will cook them for us. School will start in a few days, so I'll let you relax for a few days."

"Yeah! Grandma, I want some spicy flavor. I want some garlic flavor too."

"it is good!"

In the afternoon, An An was reluctant to go out and followed A Chu, the silver wolf, to hunt in the woods.

Grandpa Jiang discussed with Jiang Yichen that he wanted to grow watermelons in the village to make it rich.

"Grandpa, we have a lot of mountainous land here, most of which is barren. We can actually let them plant some fruit trees, and after three to five years they can harvest every year. As for sales, we may have a way by then. Even if we can't, we can help the village build roads and let them go out on their own."

Jiang Yicheng's words made Grandpa Jiang think more. If the road in the village was repaired, many good things in their village could be transported out.

For a long time, it was because of transportation difficulties that these mountainous areas were so poor.

"Then we can repair the road in advance and let the villagers plant watermelons. Next year, we can sell them in the nearby market. As for our watermelons, we can sell them farther away. It will be more convenient for us than for them, and it will also help the village make some money."

Grandpa Jiang is doing this entirely for the sake of the villagers, because most of them are members of the Jiang clan.

"Grandpa, don't take on too much responsibility. We can only provide them with some convenience and point them in a direction. If they all rely on us in the future and we have no way to deal with them, they will blame us."

Jiang Yichen doesn't have deep feelings for the people in the village and objectively points out the negative influences.

"Yes, old man, it's your business to help the villagers, but don't get involved with the Chengcheng siblings. I don't agree with that."

After hearing this, Grandma Jiang warned Grandpa Jiang, and Grandpa Jiang smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, I'm not so close to you as to be distant. It's just that if I live well, I want the villagers to live better, too."

"Grandpa, nowadays most people in rural areas still grow grain. I think as long as there is enough grain to eat, we can actually grow something else to sell. If we repair the road, the products in the mountains will be easier to sell, and they can also transport them out by themselves. This can be considered as our help to the whole village. Besides, building roads costs a lot of money, and the villagers must all contribute."

Jiang Yicheng expressed his thoughts. He said that they could only help the poor in times of emergency. They had to make a living on their own and could not put all their hopes on others. Besides, there were many smart people in the village, so Grandpa did not have to worry so much. Repairing the road for the village would be a big help to them.
