Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 226: Ji Jianyun Did Some Bad Things



The old man looked at Ji Jianyun. “Were you a soldier?”

Ji Jianyun asked after nodding, “Grandpa, are you from the capital?”

“Yes.” The old man from the capital nodded and said, “Why did you come to the capital now? There is nothing to see now. The scenery is good in spring, and it is not bad in autumn, but this is not a good time to visit.”

“I will be busy during those times of the year, and I'm free at this time,” Ji Jianyun explained.

The old man from the capital questioned, “Family planning has been implemented, and you dared to have two children?”

“What can we do when it has happened? We just paid the fine,” Ji Jianyun said.

“I've been a soldier before, so I am aware,” the old man said with a smile.

Ji Jianyun smiled back. “Isn’t having more children serving the country?”

The old man looked at Renren, then at Qiqi, and said, “These two boys are well raised.”

“They live well. Things in the country have developed rapidly in the past few years. They’ve been living in the good times.” Ji Jianyun was also quite interested in chatting more with him.

But while he was interested, Qiqi wasn’t. He wanted to go shopping. “Grandpa, talk next time.”

This kid who was as big as a little ghost said it directly to the old man.

“Your father calls me grandpa, and you are calling me grandpa? You should call me old grandpa.” The old man from the capital laughed.

“Old grandpa, talk next time,” Qiqi said kindly.

“Okay, we will,” The old man from the capital said with a smile, and didn't tease him any more.

Ji Jianyun smiled and took them away.

“It has been good.” The grandpa from the capital watched them leave and laughed.

He turned around and walked towards the alley. His house was a busy place before, but now he was alone.

He would rather be in peace than live in the troubled times of the past.

Ji Jianyun took them to explore this area. The snow had stopped at this time, Renren and Qiqi were not afraid of the cold at all, they were very happy.

There were many interesting ancient streets in the old capital. The times are different now, and the development here was extremely fast.

For example, in his hometown, or even in the college town, his family could eat very well for only two yuan, but in the old capital, that was not enough.

The cost would double for their family. Accommodations were still good though. They booked their stay for five days, and it was six yuan for five days.

And the place was in good and pleasant conditions.

The whole family went shopping and bought a few interesting little things. Renren and Qiqi each had a toy. Seeing that it was almost time, the whole family went to eat Peking duck.

Su Danhong felt that it was quite okay, but her husband and children ate with gusto, as if they were eating something extraordinary.

“When we go back, I'll take a few home with me, and let them all try the authentic roast duck from the capital,” Ji Jianyun said.

“Yeah, take it back.” Renren and Qiqi also agreed, it was really delicious.

At their age, whether it tasted good or not was secondary. What came first was if the adults said it was delicious, then they thought it was delicious.

Next, Ji Jianyun took their mother and son to explore more.

Although there was snow, it couldn’t stop the excitement of this family.

They went to famous spots like the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. The family took a lot of photos.

They went to the Great Wall on the third day. They experienced the magnificence of the Great Wall, but because it was snowing, it was not easy to go up. They just took pictures.

It's a once in a lifetime trip, so Ji Jianyun didn't care about the budget. He spent what needed to be spent, and took a lot of photos. The children looked like two balls in their padded jackets. Although their small faces were covered up, their cheeks were red, and the little brothers were obviously very delighted.

After having fun, eating delicious food, and taking lots of pictures, they were ready to go back.

Before going back, Su Danhong brought them to a gold shop in the old capital.

The samples here were all very good. Su Danhong chose two pairs of earrings. They were round ones, suitable for old ladies of a certain age. One pair was for her mother-in-law and the other pair was for her mother.

Father Ji didn’t smoke anymore, but he liked to collect pipes. ThyeC Su Danhong came here to shop for one in a famous old neighborhood. It was not cheap, but Su Danhong paid for it.

As for the rest, she did not buy anything. After all, Ji Jianyun brought roast duck to bring home to share with everyone.

But when they returned to the hotel, Ji Jianyun gave her a surprise. He asked the children to go and take a nap. Then he took out the gift he bought for her.

A gold necklace, a pair of exquisite earrings, and a jade bracelet. This jade bracelet was very round and was the finest Hetian jade.

Su Danhong was taken aback when she saw these things. “When did you buy it?”

When they went to the gold shop together, she was so focused on buying things for her mother-in-law and her mother that she didn't notice that he bought her so many things.

“I bought one at the shop, do you like it?” Ji Jianyun looked at her and asked.

Her heart went soft.

Her man could always do something that made her heart flutter.

Although it was not his style to buy something so intimate, his intentions were real.

This gold necklace was very thick, as well as the earrings. It was a lot of gold, and this jade bracelet was top-grade Hetian jade.

The gold necklace and earrings were more common, but for the jade bracelet, Su Danhong asked, “How much did this piece of Hetian jade cost?”

“Hetian jade? The shopkeeper said it was white jade,” Ji Jianyun said.

“How can I be wrong? This is Hetian jade,” Su Danhong said while looking at the jade bracelet.

In her previous life, her mother bought a few pieces like this for her. She liked them a lot and wore them every day. How could she be mistaken?

Su Danhong thought for a moment, can it be that the store owner didn't know what it truly was?

“How much did you pay for this bracelet?” Su Danhong asked.

In the previous life, Hetian jade was also very valuable.

“I bought this bracelet last, so there was not much money left. It was 120 yuan,” Ji Jianyun said.

“It's only 120?” Su Danhong’s eyes lit up. “Was there any more left?”

“There are still a few more, but it's just a jade bracelet. What’s the matter?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“What's the matter? This piece of jewelry is Hetian jade. That store doesn't know what they are selling and that’s why you can buy it for 120 yuan. If it was a store that knows their goods, then you won't be able to buy it for 300 yuan,” Su Danhong said, and then gave him 500 yuan. “I’ll look after the children. Go and buy the remaining ones, remember it has to be exactly the same as this one.”

The corner of Ji Jianyun's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at his wife who had kept a lot of money, he asked, “Wife, will this be good for us?”

“There's nothing wrong with doing this. The shop owner must have purchased the goods at ordinary white jade prices, so he won't lose money. He will still be happy when you buy them. Besides, we've already bought a lot of things from there, so it’s fine,” Su Danhong said confidently.

Ji Jianyun went to buy more jade.

Three jade pendants, a jade hairpin, and a jade cup that were all Hetian jade.

After it was bought, Su Danhong was very happy.

Ji Jianyun, who did something like this for the first time, put his wife to bed and taught her a lesson.
