8. The Most Outstanding Youngest Son in the Early 1980s (8)
Ji Changze was not merciless when he increased the price of those local products. He sold so many at once, and with money in hand, he turned around and went to buy things for the wedding.
After buying a lot of bits and pieces, Ji Changze returned home with a full load from his trip to the city.
He dragged the cart back, and as soon as he reached the entrance of the village, he saw someone coming, a few old ladies.
A rural lady, a fighter who spreads gossip and rumors.
When Ji Changze saw them, he took the initiative to ask them before he could speak to them: "Changze, have you gone to the city? Did you buy so many things?"
After saying that, they stepped forward without any politeness and stretched their necks to look at the things on the trolley. If Ji Changze hadn't covered it with a plastic sheet, they might have just reached out and rummaged through what was there. .
Ji Changze didn't show any displeasure on his face. He put down the cart naturally and said with a smile, "No, aren't we getting married? We bought some things."
Several old ladies looked at each other, and they all clearly saw the disdain in each other's eyes.
Ji Changze's reputation in the village was not very good, and now he was married to An Xiaolu, who studied in vain and became mute. Many people laughed at their marriage behind the scenes.
An Xiaolu has no black spots except that she is mute, but she was too famous before.
After all, she is good-looking, has a gentle temperament, and the most important thing is that she is a high school student. Whether she goes to work directly or goes to college, she will make a lot of money. It is no exaggeration to say that half of the men of her age in the village have this. Think about it.
Doesn't this lead to some tragedies of "I like you, but you like An Xiaolu"?
The worst thing is "I gave up on you, but the second person I liked also liked An Xiaolu."
When she was studying outside, there were slanderous words about her in the village. Now that she is mute, An Xiaolu, who had a bright future, suddenly fell into the mud, and the slanderous words turned into cynicism.
But Ji Changze's side is even simpler.
He, Ji Changze, is lazy and cheeky. For such a big man, he makes excuses every day not to go to work and eats what his father does and what his mother does.
Such a person actually married An Xiaolu.
Even if they can't marry themselves, how can they not feel sad when they see Ji Changze hugging the beauty back?
As a result, there were basically only a few words in the village about the two of them getting married.
Ji Changze is so unreliable and not a hard-working person who can endure hardships. If An Xiaolu marries him, she will definitely have to endure hardships in the future.
Who would be willing to take care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law? Ji Changze will fall out sooner or later.
No one thinks highly of them anyway.
In fact, these people saw it quite accurately. The original owner really turned his back, and An Xiaolu did suffer a lifetime.
"Nagaze, you are getting married now. From now on, you should be more diligent and work more. Don't always be lazy like before. Otherwise, how will you be able to support your family?"
An old lady said this.
She was gossiping, and her words were indeed well-intentioned. No matter how much Ji's father and mother loved their youngest son, they were not very young anymore, so how long could they take care of Ji Changze.
Ji Changguang is the eldest brother, but he is also married. Who would take care of a younger brother who is not very close to him all his life.
If Ji Changze doesn't stand up at this time, it will be difficult in the future.
If the original owner heard these words, he would definitely look unhappy and might even curse a few words, but if it were Ji Changze...
"It's not that I don't want to be diligent. Actually, Third Grandma, you've seen that we work hard in the fields every day. We go early in the morning and late at night. Let's see how much we can get. I have a job but no benefits, and I feel so at a loss.”
The old ladies who said this were stunned.
What Ji Changze said actually makes sense, but the problem is, everyone is doing this, so why is he the only one who is panicking at the loss?
"Then what are you going to do if you don't work and rely on your parents to support you every day? This is not possible. You have to marry a wife."
Ji Changze waved his hand as if he didn't care:
"It's enough to support me in the brigade. Anyway, even if I don't work, I won't miss a meal. If I work, it's still so much food. Anyway, I won't work."
This can truly be called a shameless statement.
Pianji Nagaze looked so confident and confident that people didn't even know how to condemn him.
Old lady: "Then you can't do that. You can just eat and drink by yourself. Xiaolu will marry you in the future. How can you deal with this?"
"When Xiaolu marries me, I will definitely not let her suffer."
Ji Changze's words were decisive. He raised his head with pride and announced:
"Let me tell you, I went to the city today to buy things for the wedding. What a coincidence. I happened to meet a man who fell to the ground, so I helped him up."
Several old ladies suddenly had expressions on their faces like "You can still do good things."
Ji Changze: "I saw that he was well dressed, and I was wondering if someone could thank me after helping him up, such as inviting me to a state-owned restaurant for a meal or something."
oh……
The faces of the old ladies showed a look of "This is right, this is the correct development."
"That person is stupid. You just helped me and invited you to dinner."
I have never dreamed of such a good dream.
Ji Changze shrugged: "Yes, he didn't invite me to dinner."
See, what they said.
How could there be such a stupid person.
Then they heard Ji Changze say: "But that man turned out to be a factory manager. He saw that I was young, hardworking, capable, kind and upright, and looked smart and in good shape..."
He praised himself a lot, and the old ladies all looked numb:
"Stop, stop, stop praising yourself. What happened next?"
Ji Changze looked innocent: "Then he told me to be a worker in their factory."
Old ladies: "???"
"What the hell?!!"
Ji Changze: "Worker."
Old ladies: "..."
Ji Changze stretched out his finger and waved it at them: "Twenty yuan a month."
Old ladies: "..."
Worker? ?
Ji Changze? ? ?
You must be kidding me.
Ji Changze didn't find it strange to see that they didn't believe him.
At that time, being a worker was a good job. You could stand up straight.
Twenty yuan a month was even more money.
If converted, it is equivalent to about 7,000 or 8,000 yuan in later generations. For the villagers, it is a huge sum of money.
The key is that this huge sum of money comes every month.
Ji Changze, the little gangster who has always been assumed by the villagers to have no future?
Impossible.
Ji Changze knew that they didn't believe it.
He directly took out ten yuan from his pocket.
"Look, this is the salary that the factory director gave me in advance. He paid for it privately and said that I should use it to buy things for my wedding."
As soon as the ten yuan came out, several old ladies widened their eyes.
"How is this possible? You just helped him..."
Just helped him.
"I just helped him up, so what?"
Ji Changze patted his cart, as if he was going to have a good argument: "It was freezing cold, he fell to the ground, and there was no one around. If I hadn't helped him up, he might have stayed there, and he would have caught a cold, and a cold would have caused a fever, and a fever might have caused pneumonia, and pneumonia could be fatal if it's not cured."
He straightened his back with confidence: "I saved his life!"
Old ladies: "..."
Then he was barely right, but why did the factory director choose Ji Changze to be a worker?
It doesn't make sense.
Ji Changze: "Why doesn't it make sense? Because I'm kind!"
Old ladies: "...You? Kind?!"
"That's right."
Ji Changze asked them: "Then what do you think, to be a worker, you have to be hardworking, kind, down-to-earth, hardworking, and honest?"
There was nothing wrong with this, and several people nodded.
Ji Changze: "Am I hardworking?"
Old ladies: ...Definitely not.
Ji Changze: "Am I hardworking and diligent?"
Of course not. He is the most lazy person in the village. I have never seen such a lazy person.
Ji Changze asked again: "Am I honest?"
Of course not!
Ji Changze? Honest? What a joke.
Seeing that they all shook their heads, Ji Changze clapped his hands; "Then the only thing left is kindness!"
"The factory director let me be a worker because I am kind. Is there anything wrong with that? Nothing wrong with that."
The old ladies: "...It seems not."
Could it be...
Ji Changze really became a worker because of his kindness?
Seeing that they admitted it, Ji Changze clapped his hands again: "So, people should be kind."
"Especially as kind as me."
He saw that several old ladies were fooled, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
It is estimated that within a day, these gossip transmission elders will be able to spread such a news throughout the village.
He, Ji Changze, became a worker.
Because of kindness!
