There is a mountain in her arms

Two days later, Grandpa Jiang brought back good news.

"Second brother, there is a yard for rent in the community where my eldest brother lives. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Really? Second brother, the neighborhood they live in is right in front of the farmer's market, so you can set up your stall even closer."

Grandma Jiang was also happy to hear this and explained for her second brother.

"That's great. When the time comes, we can bring our daughter-in-law and grandson over, and we'll be considered half city dwellers."

My second uncle's grandmother was very happy. In just half a month, they were able to gain a foothold in the city.

"Yes, yes. When can we go see the yard?"

"Tomorrow afternoon! My eldest brother and his friends will be busy at dinner time and can't leave, so I can only take you there in the afternoon."

"Hey! Okay, tomorrow afternoon my little sister and I will go directly to your big brother's house and wait for him."

"Ok!"

The next day, the two waited outside Grandpa Jiang's house for a while, and then Grandpa Jiang came back on a bicycle with his eldest brother.

"Oh! Brother Jiang, I'm really sorry to cause you trouble and delay your business!"

"Second brother Yu, that's not right! Without further ado, I'll take you to see the yard!"

"it is good!"

Grandpa Jiang led them directly to the middle of the front row of courtyards. He shouted twice outside and an old lady opened the door.

"Sister Cui, it's my relative who wants to rent the yard!"

"come in!"

There was no extra expression on Mrs. Cui's face.

"Hey! Second brother Jiang, Sister Cui is going to be taken to a new house by her son, so she wants to rent it out. Sister Cui, you cleaned the yard so well!"

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well tidy up the yard. Just take a look, the layout of my yard is similar to yours."

Grandpa Jiang's words just hit Mrs. Cui's heart, and her face softened.

My second uncle also inquired about the market price of houses at the farmers' market. When he saw that the yard was shabby but so big, he was tempted.

He pulled Grandpa Jiang aside to ask about the rent, and Grandpa Jiang nodded.

"Sister Cui, your yard is similar to mine, so is the rent similar?"

“Are you renting long-term or short-term?”

Mrs. Cui asked this question first.

"How long is considered a long-term lease? How long is considered a short-term lease? We are definitely here this year."

To be honest, my second uncle doesn’t understand the ins and outs here either.

"Okay, if it's a long-term lease, then the rent will be the same as yours! Although my yard is old, you can't destroy the layout of my yard at will."

"Okay, okay! We're just living here. I sell tofu at the farmer's market in front of here. It just so happens that this place is close."

"So you're the new tofu seller. I heard about you from my neighbors."

"hehe!"

"You can move in in two days! When I ask my son to help me move, I'll have him hand over the key to you."

"Okay, we are not in a hurry, take your time. You are so lucky to have such a filial son. We are so old and still have to take care of them. We don't know when we can unload the burden."

Mrs. Cui was happy to hear what her second uncle said, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Given your good skills, it won't take long."

"Haha! Thanks for your good words! Sister Cui, please go ahead and do your work. We won't bother you anymore. I'll come to pay in two days."

"Okay! Take your time, I know you guys are busy too!"

When they came out of the yard, Uncle Two expressed his gratitude to Grandpa Jiang again. Both of them were busy, so they didn't exchange pleasantries and left after a few words.

"how is it going?"

As soon as he got back, his second aunt asked him.

"Where's Zhichao?"

"He took a shift with me for dinner and went to the market."

"I've seen a house. It has three rooms and a big yard. It's a little old, but the rent is cheap."

"That's enough. They can't compare with my little sister and the others. So when are we moving?"

"We have to wait two days. The landlady hasn't moved out yet. And we have to replan the house and make a room for Mom."

"Brother, Mom will stay with me first. My niece-in-law is here with her child, and you guys have barely enough space to live with her. Where else can we leave Mom? Besides, Xiaobao is grown up now, and he can't stay with his parents!"

"You're at a disadvantage, you helped us so much, but now I'm leaving you to serve me!"

"Well! We are all my children, as long as we love each other, and I am comfortable living here. Don't you agree, mother?"

"What Chunniang said is right!"

The old lady has been following her daughter all this time, so of course whatever her daughter says is what she does.

"That's it for now. When we are able to move to a bigger house, we can bring mom over."

My second uncle felt a little jealous when he saw my mother was getting better and better in spirits, but he could only agree temporarily.

Two days later, my second uncle and his family paid three months' rent and slowly moved into the yard.

After Yu Zhichao's business stabilized, he rushed back to his hometown overnight to pick up his wife and children. He also hired villagers to plant soybeans for his family's fields, and asked them to harvest them when the time came, and he would come home at that time.

Three shops in front of the school were also opened, and Jiang Yichen taught Dafang how to make spicy dried tofu and French fries.

She was thinking that the main product of their store was snacks, and as soon as these two items came out, they were loved by students, and even some teachers and parents would buy them to try.

The eldest wife of the Jiang family was busier than before, and they lost weight in a few days. Grandpa Jiang even advised them to give up breakfast, but they just couldn't bear to do it.

Life is slowly getting back on track. Grandpa Jiang has been cultivating watermelon seedlings in his space at night. This is an experience he has gained over many years, but he has only tried it on the mountain at home.

This time he was going to test it in the village, so he observed more carefully to ensure success on the first try.

In late March, Xiao Yan from the department store, whom she had long forgotten, found her in the store. She happened to be out for dinner at the time, and they ran into each other by chance.

"Boss Jiang, my cousin wants to order more goods."

Xiaoyan was very happy for her cousin, she and her cousin had been good friends since childhood. Unfortunately, she married into a bad family, and they lived far away, so there was nothing they could do to help her.

"Sister Xiaoyan, how about I give you an address and you can contact him directly. This way you don't have to make a profit from the price difference with me and you can earn more."

Xiaoyan didn't expect Jiang Yichen to say this. She was surprised, happy and worried.

"Boss Jiang, why aren't you making any money? Is there something wrong?"

"Don't worry, I asked him to buy the goods before. I will write him a letter later, you can take it over and he will know. I have to go to school and do other things during this period, so I will not get involved in this jewelry business. If your cousin has the energy, she can develop the jewelry business to other cities. If it is circulated in the future, it will not last long. Human beings have infinite imitation ability."

"Okay! I thank you on behalf of my cousin!"

Xiaoyan left with the address and the letter. She had to ask her cousin for her opinion first.

A week later, Yu Zhichao brought his wife and children over.

Grandma Jiang can now have some time to look after the store, and the old lady will stay with her second uncle and his family for a few days.

Jiang Yichen took three days off and went back to his hometown with Grandpa Jiang, because if he didn't go back, the watermelon seedlings in the space would not be able to grow.

My second uncle also asked them to help Yu Zhichao's son Yu Xiaobao and ask Jiang Fengying to handle the transfer procedures for the affiliated primary school.

Yu Xiaobao is in the second semester of the fourth grade this year. Fortunately, the school has not started for long, so it shouldn’t be difficult.

When they passed by the county, they went to Gu Yanbang's police station and unexpectedly ran into Luo Heng, the police captain they met the first time they went to the county.

"Huh? Why do you look familiar to me?"

"What do you mean they look familiar? This is my goddaughter and her grandfather."

Gu Yanbang strode out and led them directly into the office. Luo Heng was still a little confused, as if he had seen them somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

Grandpa Jiang also forgot, so he was very calm. Jiang Yicheng had a good memory, but she had a strong psychological quality, so she naturally remained calm.

"Do you know Captain Luo?"

"do not know!"

Gu Yanbang thought about Luo Heng's cautious nature, so he asked a question. Hearing their casual answers, he felt that he was being too suspicious.

"I'm planning to come visit you in a few days. I've found the place you asked Yuxuan to look for. But there are two places you still need to check out. He has already returned to the army, so he entrusted it to us. It was your godmother's brother who helped to find it."

"Then you can thank her brother for me. I'll go and make the decision after the May Day holiday. I wonder if it will take longer?"

"Of course that's no problem! I'll tell him. Why did you come to the county at this time? Is there something going on?"

Grandpa Jiang told this story, and Jiang Yichen just sat quietly on the side.

"No problem! I'll tell her when I get back. Since you guys are in a hurry to go back to the village, I won't keep you here today. When you're on vacation, if you want to go to Beijing, I'll let your godmother accompany you."

"Godfather, I have friends in Beijing too. I'll go directly there when the time comes, and you just need to say hello to them."

"Haha! I almost forgot that you have several respected teachers! That's fine, if anything goes wrong, feel free to call us."

"I know."

Gu Yanbang personally escorted them out of the Public Security Bureau. When he watched them leave, he saw that Luo Heng still had a somewhat confused look in his eyes.

"Don't even think about it. My goddaughter is not a criminal."

"No, Director Gu, I just felt like I've seen it somewhere!"

"That might have been the year she took the high school entrance exam. You saw her when we sent her there."

Gu Yanbang could only find this reason because Luo Heng came over and greeted them at that time.

"Maybe!"

Luo Heng was no longer bothered by it, as he sensed the director's displeasure.

Jiang Yicheng and his partner secretly took a small path back to the village. Grandpa Jiang directly transplanted the watermelon seedlings grown in the space to a large area in the orchard. Then he went to find Jiang Weiguo alone, while Jiang Yicheng went home to clean up.

They had only been away for over a month, so there wasn't much dust in the house, so they could just make the bed.

"Uncle, you're back! Have you eaten? Let's eat together?"

Jiang Weiguo was cooking at home at this time. As a grown man, he always did things casually at home.

"I brought back the watermelon seedlings. Villagers who want to plant watermelons will gather at my house later. Weiguo, your house is too dirty. Your wife is not at home, why don't you clean the main room?"

Jiang Weiguo touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He had been tidying up the land these days! He hadn't taken the time to clean up, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by his second uncle.

"I'll clean it up right away!"

"I'm afraid the threshold of your house will be flattened in the next two days. When people come in and see how shabby your house is, where will you put your dignity as the village chief?"

"I know, Second Uncle. I've been so busy tending the land these days that I haven't even had time to eat, so how can I take care of anything else?"

After Jiang Weiguo said this, Grandpa Jiang didn't know what to say.

"It's up to you! I'll be waiting for you at home. Come to my house for dinner tonight. Chengcheng will also come back and stay for two days."

"okay!"

Jiang Weiguo just made a pancake and started calling people from door to door.

The villagers are now divided into two groups, one group is busy with road repairs, and the other group is busy with farming. It is now dinner time, and everyone will be busy with their own things in the afternoon.

Less than half an hour after Grandpa Jiang returned home, people from the village began to gather at his house.

"Uncle Jiang, are these watermelon seedlings really given to us for free?"

"Big Head, if you don't know how to talk, then don't talk. Why are you always trying to take advantage of others?"

"Second Uncle is very kind and righteous for thinking of helping everyone. Everyone should not lose their conscience!"

"Yes, yes, yes! ..."

The yard was crowded with people. Grandpa Jiang stood directly at the door of the main hall with his hands pressed down.

"Quiet!"

Jiang Weiguo quickly scolded them.

"Let me be frank. I have already planted this watermelon seedling last year. I believe someone must have seen it outside my orchard. But I cannot guarantee that everyone can grow it. I can only share my experience with everyone. Anyone who is not willing can quit now!"

The villagers looked at each other, but no one moved. Grandpa Jiang continued:

"I'll give you all this year's watermelon seedlings for free. I can also help you sell the first batch of ripe watermelons in three months. But after that, it's all your business. I've already given you a head start, so you can't just rely on me."

"I have my own family to take care of, and I won't stay in the village for long. Those who have objections can also withdraw now, but once you agree, no matter what happens in the future, you can't make trouble."

The villagers immediately began to whisper to each other. Grandpa Jiang had a blank expression on his face, while Jiang Weiguo and several village cadres remained silent.

"Second brother, how many seasons can this watermelon be grown for?"

"We can grow watermelons three times in the south, and the timing will vary depending on the variety. These watermelon seedlings need to be carefully cared for, so when they mature, the yield may vary due to human factors."

"I still say the same thing. There are risks in everything you do. I can't bear all the risks. I don't owe the village anything. It's just because this used to be my Jiang family's ancestral land. So I built the road and taught you to grow watermelons. It's just my personal intention."

"Whether you are willing or not is not within my consideration. I am willing to lend a helping hand for the sake of the Jiang family's ancestral land. If you are not willing, I will not give you a second chance. As you can see, I have settled down in the city, and the chances of coming back will become fewer and fewer. So the final choice is in your hands. I have done my best to help the village build roads."

"Uncle! The villagers are not ungrateful. It costs hundreds of thousands to build a road. No one is as generous as you!"

"Yes, Desheng, with your contribution, if it was when the Jiang family was still around, you would be the head of the family. No one would not remember your kindness. If there are really such ruthless people, we will collectively expel them from the village."

Jiang Weiguo and the old branch secretary immediately came out to support him, and the three young cadres also immediately became abnormal.

"Uncle Jiang, I, Qin Dawang, am willing to work with you!"

"Uncle, I, Dagui, will protect our Jiang family no matter what. I will fight you!"

"Uncle, me too!"

"Me too!"

……

Grandpa Jiang pressed his hands down, and everyone instantly quieted down.

"I will do my best to give you a good start, but the rest of the way will depend on you."

"Clap clap clap"

Everyone clapped involuntarily. Jiang Yicheng looked at the scene outside through the window of the room. He hoped that his grandfather's efforts would not be in vain!
