After walking for a while, Xiang Jin asked her mother tentatively, "Mom, did Grandpa Zeng's daughter marry well? I think they have a car and a driver to pick her up."
You must know that in that era, when the country was still very poor and people's wages and living standards were generally very low, it would be good if anyone had a bicycle, and it would be even better if anyone had a motorcycle.
It would be a big deal if your family had a car. You would definitely be rich or expensive.
And Yan Chen's family is definitely that kind of family.
Yang Juyun sighed and nodded, "Yes, your Aunt Mingzhu married well, but she doesn't want her life."
"Huh? What's going on?" Xiang Jin was startled, and then started thinking secretly in his mind. Could it be that she also married a scumbag?
Yang Juyun explained to her, "It seems that after Yan Chen went to kindergarten, your Aunt Mingzhu went to a remote mountain village to teach, and then she encountered a mountain landslide on the way back to where she lived after school, and then she and another
Both teachers were buried.
Later, when the villagers dug them out, several of them had already lost their breath."
"Ah? Is that so?" Xiang Jin suddenly sighed.
"Yes, I heard that Yan Chen's father fell directly from the six or seven-meter-high Gaotai Mountain when he received the news, and then injured his spine. Fortunately, it was not very serious, but he recovered later.
But he could no longer stay in the army, and then he changed jobs."
"His father is still a soldier?" Xiang Jin was surprised again.
Yang Juyun nodded, "Not only is his father a soldier, but his grandfather is also a soldier. It is said that he is also a big official in the provincial army."
It turns out that you are not only rich but also powerful!
Xiang Jin was curious, "Hey, you said Yan Chen's father is from the provincial capital, and Yan Chen's mother is from a remote mountain village. How come they are together? Do you think they are classmates?"
love?
Yang Juyun smiled and said, "That's not true. Your grandfather Zeng and Yan Chen's grandfather had a very close comrade-in-arms relationship when they were young. Moreover, the two of them lived in the same military compound. The children of the two families naturally knew each other.
Later, when your Aunt Mingzhu was eight or nine years old, your grandfather Zeng transferred to the local government and started working at the grassroots level. However, Yan Chen and his grandfather continued to stay in the army, but the relationship between the two families has always been
It has not stopped, and the children of the two families have maintained a friendly exchange of letters.
As they grew older, the two naturally fell in love through letters. After your aunt Mingzhu was admitted to a normal university and graduated, the two naturally got together and got married."
"Oh, it turns out we are still childhood sweethearts!" Xiang Jinru thought that the relationship between the two was quite strong, but it was also quite regrettable.
"Hasn't Mom seen Yan Chen before?" Suddenly, she asked again.
Yang Juyun shook his head, "I haven't seen him before. He probably came to the town before. It was in the past two years that they moved from the town to their hometown in the countryside after your grandpa Zeng was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high blood lipids.
living."
"Oh, so?" Xiang Jin nodded, and then stopped asking.
The mother and daughter walked and chatted and arrived at a postal savings bank in the town. However, because they arrived too early, there were not many people on the street at this time, and no one opened the door yet. They were just outside the bank.
The sign posted says it opens at nine o'clock.
Looking at the sparse pedestrians on the street, Xiang Jin frowned. They didn't really want to wait here stupidly like this. Who knew when they would have to wait?
Xiang Jin is a person with a strong sense of time. At this time, she was thinking that when she got rich, she would first buy a watch, even a chopstick battery watch, so that she could control the time status and then
So that she can arrange what she has to do.
So, she said to her mother, "Mom, there is more than just this bank in town. How about we go to other banks and have a look? Maybe other banks open earlier than this one? It's not an option for us to just wait here.
It’s a waste of time, isn’t it?”
There is an Agricultural Bank of China and a credit union in their village. She doesn't believe that there is no other bank in such a big town?
Yang Juyun frowned, "There is an Agricultural Bank of China up there, but it still has a long way to go."
"how far?"
"It takes about ten minutes to walk."
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Just walking for ten minutes? It's better than standing here for an hour or two, right?"
Yang Juyun hesitated, "But I heard that there are many thieves up there, and many people have lost money there."
"Is this so?" Pickpockets are hated by people everywhere, and they are also feared, because you are robbed by them without knowing it.
Xiang Jin's expression also became serious. She thought her mother was a fool.
"Yes, it's the main street up there, so there are usually a lot of people moving around. It's very noisy with people coming and going, so pickpockets are the easiest to catch."
Then Xiang Jin wanted to suggest to her mother that they should go find out the prices of the building materials first, but she gave up the idea when she saw that she was wary of carrying a "huge sum of money", as if everyone was trying to steal her money.
Got this idea.
Alas, forget it!
It's better to just wait here quietly with her.
She put her head to her ear, and then whispered to her, "Mom, don't be like this, relax, relax, you look so nervous, don't you have three hundred taels of silver here?"
Tell the passers-by that I have money here, lots and lots of money, and then they will stare at you without paying attention to your expression.
You have to relax, relax, and act like a normal person, so that people will think that we are standing in front of the bank just to get a loan."
Yang Juyun looked at her in surprise, "Did I make it obvious?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Don't be too obvious!"
"I, I, I have never carried so much money with me before. I am nervous, I am afraid, I am afraid that I will lose it," Yang Juyun was almost incoherent, holding on to the hem of her clothes with both hands.
Xiang Jin can understand that a country woman has never seen much of the world. If she hadn't sold grain, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese this time, and had so much money at once, she might have been able to touch a few fat pigs at most.
If it costs more than a few hundred yuan, it's a huge deal.
What's more, they also took 3,000 yuan from Lao Xiang's family.
In her eyes, isn't that a huge sum of money that she has never seen in her life?
She held her hand and comforted her softly, "Mom, don't be afraid, don't be nervous, I'm here, I'm by your side."
Yang Juyun nodded, and then asked her, "Xiang Jin, why aren't you nervous or afraid?" You must know that this is the lifeblood of their family, and everything their family will do next will depend on it.
of.
Xiang Jin raised his eyebrows, "Because I have a good attitude!"
