The villagers were instantly delighted, saying, "Then we’ll just wait at home."
Jiang Changhai had really made something of himself now, though newspapers were cheap, they still cost money.
He was so generous that when he said he would buy several copies, he just bought several copies.
The villagers went home completely satisfied.
After all the guests had left his house, Jiang Dashan took out the newspapers and spread them out on the dining table inside the room, smoothing out each crease before pasting them neatly on the wall of the main room.
He made sure that as soon as someone entered their house, they would see it immediately.
Then he said very seriously to the children at home, "You guys are only allowed to look, not touch, got it? If you damage them, see if I don’t beat you to death."
"Got it, Grandpa, we promise not to touch!"
The children looked at the newspaper on the wall with reverence, then quickly moved far away.
Having made quite the impression in the village today, Zhang Guihua was in a good mood, and the dinner that evening was extremely lavish.
The family had a lively dinner, and Jiang Changhai even had a few drinks with his father.
It was Saturday the next day, and he didn’t have to go to work, so after dinner, he didn’t go back but stayed overnight at his parents’ home.
The next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Mianmian’s family was ready to leave.
Zhang Guihua picked a small basket of vegetables and a dozen eggs, and sent them off to the village entrance, "Eldest, take these back to eat, boil an egg for Mianmian every day to replenish some nutrients."
"Got it, Mom, we’re leaving now," Jiang Changhai took the items and waved to everyone.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you should head back, we’ll come to see you next time," Jiang Mianmian sweetly coaxed.
The old couple was so charmed by her coaxing that they too waved their hands, "Alright, Grandma and Grandpa will be waiting for you."
Back in town, Jiang Mianmian didn’t go straight home but first stopped by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and called Yu Cheng routinely.
"Ta-da, Brother Yu, I have some great news to tell you!"
Yu Cheng replied without a second thought, "Is it that you came first in your exam?"
"Exactly! Not only did I come first in the exam this time, but my essay is also going to be published in the national newspaper very soon, and yesterday a reporter from the city even came to interview me at home and took my picture," Jiang Mianmian excitedly shared her joy with him.
She truly considered him as her little companion, a reliable and trustworthy one at that, so she expressed her inner joy fully in that moment.
So even though Yu Cheng couldn’t see her face right now, he could imagine her smiling face with curved eyes through her cheerful tone.
Thus, he also slightly curved his lips, chuckling low and complimented, "Well, our Little Lamb is pretty amazing."
Being complimented by him, Jiang Mianmian laughed with slight pride, "Hehe, what about my reward? "
Yu Cheng said, "Don’t worry, your reward will arrive in a few days, and don’t be too surprised when it does."
Jiang Mianmian replied, "Don’t worry, I can handle it."
Go ahead, bombard her with sugar-coated bullets!
The two of them talked for a while longer before they hung up the phone.
However, this time after ending the call, Yu Cheng didn’t rush back to training as he usually would, but instead called Cheng An to ask him to buy today’s newspaper for him.
"Why are you buying a newspaper?" Cheng An asked, surprised.
It wasn’t strange for him to be so surprised; after knowing each other for so long, he had never seen the other looking at a newspaper.
Usually, it was their fathers’ generation who liked to read newspapers. When had Boss Yu changed his ways?
