Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 88
In fact, Jiang Ning didn’t care whether her identity was revealed or not as long as it didn’t reach Mother Jiang’s ears. Even if it did, it would only be a little troublesome for her. But some things would be important if it was made so. Not caring wouldn’t make anything threatening.
She just didn’t want to conflict with Mother Jiang and let her take her place in the rhythm that Mother Jiang was good at. Moreover, she also had an identity that could naturally suppress you in terms of etiquette, and that was of a mother. When facing someone who makes you feel negative energy, the best way is not to fight, but to stay away. Stay away from people who consume you.
The real estate certificate for the fully built house could be applied for, while the off-plan house could only be applied for after the house got approval. Jiang Ning did not have that much time to stay here to apply for various certificates. Moreover, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau was on holiday during the National Day, so these things could only be left to Manager Qian. When the procedures are almost completed, she would come back to sign what needed to be signed and pay the taxes that needed to be paid.
After the contracts were signed, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and left Shanghai with Grandpa Jiang.
The two-day trip to Shanghai made Grandpa Jiang look radiant and happy. Walking on the streets of Shanghai with his hands behind his back, he felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.
He looked everywhere, as if his eyes couldn’t get enough. He wanted to tell his old friends about all the high-rise buildings, all the cars, the guest house he stayed in, the noodle restaurants he ate in, and the roads he saw in Shanghai.
Jiang Ning was very happy to see Grandpa Jiang in good spirits. She was originally worried that Grandpa Jiang would be tired from the long journey, but who knew that Grandpa Jiang seemed to be in better spirits than her.
They left Shanghai at 1 pm on the 1st and arrived in Wucheng at around 4 pm. Jiang Ning wanted to rent a house for Grandpa Jiang near the school so that he would not go back, but he was thinking about his old friends and his mountain patrol work.
Jiang Ning couldn’t stop him, so she had to say, “Grandpa, this was the preliminary round. There will be semi-finals and finals later. Come and accompany me then.”
Grandpa Jiang had completely believed in the competition and couldn’t wait to go back and brag with the old guys. Hearing that, he nodded repeatedly, “Go, I will come with you then.”
Jiang Ning immediately said, “The finals may be in the capital. Then I will take you to see Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.”
Just the thought of it made Grandpa Jiang so happy that his eyes turned into a crescent moon when he smiled. He wished he could go to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village right away.
Next, he would tell them how smart his eldest granddaughter was.
No, no, no, he had to go back quickly. They gave a thousand yuan prize in the preliminary round alone, and it would be even more in the finals.
But he must keep that a secret. It couldn’t be said, but he could say she was rewarded with a physical examination in Shanghai. The old man smiled happily.
Jiang Ning sent Grandpa Jiang back with worry and waited for the physical examination report from Shanghai to be mailed.
In fact, she understood that what she had to do was not only to give her grandpa a physical examination and let him see a doctor but also to change his eating habits. No matter how much she asked him to stop eating those pickled rotten radishes and rotten beans and vegetables, it was useless. His living habits had been developed over the years. He lived alone in the mountains. Even if he burned food, Grandpa Jiang would never waste it. He would always keep it. After finishing all the leftovers, even if the leftovers had been left out for a day or two in the hot summer, he would eat them, just like he cooked a plate of rotten radishes. He could eat that plate of rotten radishes for many days.
She could only bring her grandfather to her side and try to change his eating habits.
It was not that Grandpa Jiang didn’t like to eat delicious food, but he was the only one he had to cook for every day. He considered it a waste of fuel and firewood to burn for one serving.
If she asked him to come, he would definitely not come. He couldn’t let go of the job of patrolling the mountain, and he couldn’t let go of the salary of the mountain patrol.
The job and salary of mountain patrol actually meant that he did not have to rely on others. To let him come, she must let him know that even if he no longer patrolled the mountain, he could still make money without relying on others.
If she really asked him to let go of most of half a year’s salary, Grandpa Jiang would probably think that she had lost her mind.
At least she had to wait until the end of the year and let him get the year’s salary before she could have a chance to convince him to come to Wucheng with her. The prerequisite for him to stay was that he knew that he could make money.
That was the key to making her grandpa give up his job of patrolling the mountain and leave his hometown.
After thinking about it, and seeing that there was still some time before the evening self-study, she went to the Internet cafe, quickly wrote 6,000 words, and sent the manuscript to the submission mailbox.
She also wanted to write a few more short stories and send them to Readers and Youth Digest.
The Wuxia royalties were paid at the end of each month. Although she still had money in her passbook, when she applied for the real estate certificate, the tax she needed to pay would not be a small amount. Therefore, she had to prepare it in advance.
After leaving the Internet cafe, she hurriedly trotted to the dormitory. She held the kettle to fetch water and found that the kettle was full of fresh hot water.
Needless to say, it must have been He Xiaofang who prepared it.
She kept it in mind and took the books to the classroom.
As soon as Jiang Ning arrived in the classroom, He Xiaofang was the first to notice her and waved to her excitedly. Just seeing the pure joyful smile on He Xiaofang’s face, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile along with her, and her mood seemed to brighten.
Hearing the commotion, Xu Xiuli, who was reading quietly, also raised her head. After seeing Jiang Ning, the two looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Ning also smiled and waved at other roommates in the dormitory and sat down in her seat.
As soon as the bell for evening self-study rang, the class teacher Mr. Wang walked into the class with model-like steps and a stack of test papers in his hand.
He handed the test papers to the English class representative and asked him to distribute the test paper to the four group leaders using English and asked the group leaders to pass it on.
He stood on the podium beaming with joy. He did not say whether they did well in the exam. Teacher Wang was very confident. Could the students he taught not do well in the exam? He did not care whether other classes did well in the exam. He just raised his lips and said once in English and Chinese, “This time our class still got a person with a perfect score.”
All heads turned in Jiang Ning’s direction.
“That’s right, it’s still her.” Teacher Wang seemed to be talking about the same person, the corners of his lips raised deeper, and he still looked like he was smiling, but everyone could tell that the class teacher was in a good mood. “The only one with perfect scores in the school.”
