Volume 1: Reborn in the 80s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 78 The Temptation of Power
Seeing that He Tiantian was living such a successful life, several comrades were sincerely happy for Mr. He and his wife.
To be honest, when they reach their age, their thoughts are actually similar to the old man's. They would rather not achieve much, just get a decent academic degree, and then come back to take over their business in the future.
Don’t underestimate the small size of a county town . The second generation, with the connections of their parents’ generation, can lead a better life than those in big cities as long as they don’t do stupid things.
Of course, this is a way of lying down that only poor students can do.
If someone's child is really a top student, parents of this era will sell everything they have to support their child to go to college or even study abroad.
In this era, graduating from a prestigious school can really change the fate of an individual or even an entire family.
Having said that, the original comrades did want to train He Xiangjun's daughter well and have her enter university in the future, which would allow the old comrades to rest in peace.
But now that He Tiantian said this, several cadres thought, hey! If Tiantian doesn't have any big ambitions and just wants to do some small business locally to make money to support his family, then they can take care of it!
Moreover, it is not that they have any selfish motives. He Tiantian is willing to stay in her hometown to develop, which is the best choice for Mr. He and his wife.
When people get old, no matter how promising their children and grandchildren are, they are not as reliable as those who stay with them.
Traffic police instructor Zhou carefully asked He Tiantian where the provincial road was where the house was built. He thought about it silently and was the first to agree.
"I think Tiantian has her own ideas. Let's not make decisions for her. The place where Tiantian's family runs a shop is also under the jurisdiction of our brigade. I will say hello to the detachment below and ask them to take care of it during their patrols."
Director Zhao of the Agriculture Bureau asked about the place and gave He Tiantian some advice, asking her to go back and tell her mother that after the house was built, she could just move her household registration to a township near the provincial road.
Urban household registration is much more valuable than rural household registration.
Moreover, many towns and villages on both sides of the provincial roads also have farmland. If you move your household registration there, you can also get food-ration land.
For an ordinary person, it would be extremely difficult to get a household registration and divide the land.
But, who made He Tiantian have an uncle who is the second-in-command in the Agricultural Bureau?
It is certainly not okay for the second-in-command of the Agriculture Bureau to bend the law for personal gain, but within the prescribed scope, he should have given a heads-up to his subordinates and asked someone to help Hu Qiongfang and her son move their household registration to the township and divide up a few acres of food-producing land. This was originally a national policy and was not considered a violation of regulations.
Director Wang from the Justice Bureau also said that his brother-in-law happened to be from the county industrial and commercial bureau, and if Hu Qiongfang needed to get a license for her noodle shop, she could ask him for help.
Jiang Tian never expected that when she came to the county town just to register her household registration, these old comrades of Xiang Jun's father were eager to help them get the business license for their small noodle restaurant...
As I said, it is a bit difficult to train He Tiantian into a college student at a prestigious university .
But if he is just to be trained as a businessman, it is no exaggeration to say that any one of them sitting at this table, if taken out individually, is enough to be a backer for He Tiantian.
Think about it, this junior who is personally protected by Director Lin of the Public Security Bureau and the orphan of his comrade-in-arms is more precious to him than his own children. Which gangster would dare to bully He Tiantian?
During the course of a meal, He Tiantian received several handwritten contact information.
The home addresses of these big guys are actually written on it.
He Tiantian carefully put the branches between the books and waited until everyone had left before he asked Grandpa He how to get along with these uncles in the future.
After all, He Tiantian is not a real teenager. She can distinguish the difference between her own network of contacts and the He family's network of contacts.
To put it bluntly, the reason why these uncles and aunts today were so kind to her and offered to help was because of He Xiangjun and Old Man He.
How could she, a newly adopted child, have any face?
Old Master He didn't expect that she would actually ask him this question, and he looked up to this newly born granddaughter even more.
Few people can resist the temptation of power.
Even though they are an old couple, who are over a hundred years old in total, they usually say that they should not trouble others, but when they really encounter problems, don’t they still have to ask their son’s former comrades-in-arms for help?
However, the couple knew one thing very well: the more favors are used, the less they will be worth. They are all from the countryside and have nothing to give back to these cadres. They can only avoid disturbing them at normal times and come to them for help at critical times, like today. People will remember their former comradeship and will be willing to help them since it is not a big deal.
I didn't expect that He Tiantian, at such a young age, actually understood this truth.
Are you worried that you can't grasp the balance well, so you come to ask him, your grandfather?
This child... their family really found a treasure!
Grandpa He patted his granddaughter's head with satisfaction. Just when Jiang Tian thought he was going to tell her some life philosophy, she heard the old man perfunctorily say -
"Little kids, don't meddle in adult affairs!"
"If you encounter difficulties in the future, just come to grandpa."
"You don't need to entertain these uncles and aunts. If you need help from them, can't you trust any of the adults in the family? Do you need a junior like you to rush in first?"
Jiang Tian suddenly felt mixed emotions.
This is what normal elders would do! Unlike their family, in the past, whenever there was something difficult at home, her grandmother Wang Chunmei would shrink back and throw the problem to her mother, or even her and her brother Jiang Cheng.
When we are enjoying good times, we are a family; when we are suffering, stay away from me. This probably refers to elders like her grandmother.
After returning from the county, Mr. He took the freshly printed household registration booklet, held a flashlight, and urged someone to change the name on the family tree back overnight.
I heard that Grandpa He finally changed his eldest granddaughter's name to "He Tiantian". The younger generation who was responsible for copying the family tree couldn't help but complain in their hearts: If you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have to make this extra trip?
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you to say that the word 'Tian' in my name 'Tian Tian' is the same as 'Tian' in farming? The county officials said that the word 'Tian Tian' was taken from an ancient poem~"
The younger generation who was speechless: "..."
After dinner at the He family, the second uncle came on his bicycle to pick up Jiang Tian. Along the way, Jiang Tian could see with her own eyes that her second uncle was in a very good mood and even whistled.
Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, feeling the cool autumn breeze, Jiang Tian couldn't help but smile.
She felt that even when her mother took them back to her parents' home, her grandparents and two uncles were not as happy as they were today. It was a heartfelt feeling, as if she had been relieved of a psychological burden.
The two families live so close to each other, and the more miserable Mr. He and his wife have lived over the years, the greater the guilt the Hu family must feel.
Now, the knot in my heart has finally been untied.
Jiang Tian tugged at the corner of his second uncle's clothes and said, "Second uncle, you guys are going to build a house the day after tomorrow, so I'll go too."
"We have to make lunch boxes for the workers anyway , so why not make more and set up a stall to sell lunch boxes?"
