Chapter 128 Sharing in the Joy!
Afterwards, he pulled his suitcase out of the factory and boarded the train home.
After a long journey, Jiang Yang finally returned to his familiar village.
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he saw a group of people chatting together.
"Oh, isn't this Jiang Yang back?"
The sharp-eyed villagers spotted him immediately and started shouting.
"Jiang Yang is back! Jiang Yang is back!"
"With all these bags and packages, you must have made a lot of money out there?"
"That's right! I heard Jiang Yang opened a big factory in Yanjing, he's really impressive!"
"The big boss is back!"
A crowd surged forward, greeting them all with enthusiastic smiles.
"Jiang Yang, when did you get back? Were you cold on the way?"
"Come inside and warm up!"
"Yes, you must be exhausted after such a long and arduous journey."
Jiang Yang smiled and responded to the villagers' enthusiasm one by one.
"Just arrived! Just arrived! It's not cold at all, the bus has heating!"
"Thank you everyone for your concern, I'm perfectly fine!"
As he spoke, he took out cigarettes from his pocket and offered them to the villagers who gathered around him.
"Come on, have a smoke and share in the good fortune!"
In the crowd, someone quietly nudged the person next to them and whispered something.
"Hey, do you think Jiang Yang will expand the factory this time he's back?"
"Who knows? But I heard his factory is doing very well, so maybe he really is planning to do that."
"It would be great if we could expand the factory. My sons are idle at home all day with nothing to do, and I'm worried they have nowhere to go!"
"Yes, if we could get a job in a factory in Jiangyang, we wouldn't have to worry about anything!"
"Jiang Yang, is your factory still hiring? Look at my family's kids..." someone finally couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yang smiled but did not answer directly.
Expanding the factory is inevitable, but how to expand and how many people to hire need to be carefully considered.
"Uncle, Aunt, I still need to go back and discuss this with my parents. Please don't worry, I will let everyone know as soon as I have any news."
"Okay, okay, then we'll wait for your good news!"
The man smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.
At this moment, Jiang Yang's parents received the news that their son had returned home and rushed over.
"Yangyang! You're finally back!" Lin Xiulan's eyes immediately welled up with tears when she saw her son.
She strode forward, took Jiang Yang's hand, and looked him up and down.
"You've lost weight and gotten tanned. You must have suffered a lot out there, right?"
"Mom, I'm not suffering, I'm fine!" Jiang Yang comforted her with a smile.
Jiang Dashan also came over, patted his son on the shoulder, and showed a gratified smile on his face.
"Just come back, just come back!"
"Alright, alright, everyone stop crowding around here. Let Jiang Yang go home and rest!"
Jiang Dashan gestured for everyone to disperse.
"Come on, Yangyang, let's go home!"
Lin Xiulan pulled Jiang Yang towards their home.
She kept talking nonstop the whole way.
"Yangyang, you have no idea, everyone in the village is so envious of our family now!"
“Every day people come to our door with gifts, all wanting to work in your factory. Your father and I don’t know what to do.”
"Some people even said they wanted to follow you to Yanjing to try their luck. I don't know where they heard that you made a lot of money in Yanjing."
"How come these people are so good at finding out things?"
At this point, Lin Xiulan shook her head helplessly.
Jiang Dashan, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but chime in.
"You're all talk and no action! When they came to present the award, they made it so clear that Yangyang had a successful business in Beijing and even donated things to the school. The whole village knows about it now, how could they possibly keep it a secret?"
"Besides, Yangyang is successful, that's a good thing, why are you afraid of people knowing?"
He glared at Lin Xiulan, then smiled and said to Jiang Yang, "Yangyang, let me tell you, you've made something of yourself now, and I'm so proud of you! After the New Year, we'll renovate this house and build a two-story house so you can live more comfortably!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Why waste money? We're living in this house just fine, aren't we?"
Lin Xiulan immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.
She glared at Jiang Dashan, then turned to Jiang Yang and said, "Yangyang, don't listen to your dad. We don't lack a house. This money, Mom will save it for you to use when you get married!"
Jiang Yang couldn't help but laugh as he watched his parents argue.
"Mom, Dad is right. We should spend the money we need to spend. Although I'm not exactly a tycoon yet, I can easily afford to improve our family's living conditions."
"You kid..."
Lin Xiulan wanted to say something, but Jiang Dashan interrupted her.
"It's settled then! Yangyang, don't try to stop me, this is just a small token of my appreciation!"
Seeing this, Lin Xiulan had no choice but to give up, but she muttered to herself, "These two, father and son, are both so stubborn..."
As they were talking, the group had already entered the house.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw several villagers standing at the door with gifts in their hands, clearly there to give presents.
"Hey, Jiang Yang's back!"
"This is some New Year's gift for your family, just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find it too expensive!"
"Yes, yes, I heard you opened a big factory in Yanjing, that's really impressive!"
The group chattered amongst themselves, their faces beaming with smiles.
"This……"
Jiang Dashan and Lin Xiulan exchanged a glance, both somewhat at a loss.
Seeing this, Jiang Yang quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Thank you, uncles and aunts, I appreciate the thought, but I really can't accept this gift. Please take it back!" "How can we? You've come all this way, we have to show our appreciation..."
"Yes, yes, it's just a little thing, nothing worth much..."
The group still refused to leave, insisting on leaving the gifts behind.
Jiang Dashan frowned as he looked at the situation.
It's not good for people to keep coming to our door with gifts every day!
"Yangyang, you have to think of something!"
Jiang Dashan pulled Jiang Yang aside and whispered something.
"Every day, people come to give gifts, all of them are from the same village, and we don't want to offend them. But we can't accept all the gifts anymore; our house is piled high with them!"
Jiang Yang was also somewhat helpless.
He never expected that his factory opening would cause such a sensation in the village.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Dad, I do have an idea about this. I don't plan to expand the factory. In the beginning, it was out of necessity, as many things were not standardized. Now, the products produced by the village factory are only enough to supply the surrounding towns."
"Once we expand to the city or even the county, it's hard to guarantee that we won't attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. At that point, it might cause a lot of trouble."
"Huh? Trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiulan panicked.
"Yangyang, what... what are we going to do? Our factory belongs to all the villagers, this..."
