Chapter 16 Second Uncle
"What a coincidence, Zhengfan, are you ready to go out?" More than ten meters away, a middle-aged man with a slightly bulging belly, neatly styled hair, and a black leather bag under his arm came to the door.
He opened it suddenly, was slightly startled, then walked two steps quickly and smiled.
"No, I heard the footsteps of my second uncle, so I immediately came out and opened the door to greet him." Qin Zhengfan said with a smile on his face.
If Situ Chuxue saw Qin Zhengfan smiling all over his face now, he would definitely think he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
In her opinion, Qin Zhengfan is just a cold-faced man, so how can he show such a bright smile to others!
"Young Master, you are really so thoughtful. It's been so many days since you came back, and you don't even know that if you go to the second uncle's house to sit there, the second uncle has to come to the door in person. Have you read too much and don't look down on the second uncle?
A cultured person?" the second uncle scolded with a smile.
"Second uncle, you have wronged me. You are an elder. No matter how much I read, I still dare not look down on you! But it is my fault that I have not been to my uncle's house for so many days. I will change it next time." Qin Zhengfan
He quickly said with a look of shame on his face.
"Hey, Zhengfan, I noticed that you have changed a bit. You were not so eloquent before." The second uncle looked at Qin Zhengfan in surprise when he heard this.
"Is there any?" Qin Zhengfan couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard this, and he was also a little surprised at his own changes.
In the past, when facing familiar people, especially family members, although he would never be as cold-faced as he was when he faced Situ Chuxue last night, compared to others, he was definitely a person who didn't talk much and his expression was also cold.
Like today, he first went out to greet me with a smile on his face, and then apologized with a look of shame. It was indeed unlike his previous style.
In the past, even if he thought his second uncle's criticism was justified, he would just keep it in mind and improve it next time instead of speaking out.
In the past, he was more accustomed to expressing directly through actions and disdained verbal expressions.
"Yes, absolutely!" the second uncle nodded.
"Second uncle said there is, so there must be." Qin Zhengfan smiled, and then invited his second uncle into the courtyard.
In just a short while, Qin Zhengfan already understood the reason.
In the past, he was just a poor boy and an orphan. Even though he was a doctor, he still had a sense of unconfidence and emotional vulnerability deep in his heart. Especially the departure of his girlfriend stung him even more.
He behaves coldly in front of others in order to cover up his inner self-confidence and emotional vulnerability.
He studies hard to fight against fate, to get rid of this lack of confidence and vulnerability, and not to be looked down upon by others.
But now he is a spiritual cultivator, a strong man far beyond ordinary people, and even secretly he is the highest authority on this planet.
My mood naturally changed.
Changes in mood are unconsciously expressed in actions and words.
"Just sit in the courtyard, the air here is good." The second uncle entered the courtyard and stopped Qin Zhengfan who was about to enter the house.
"Okay, uncle, please sit down first and I'll get you a glass of water." Qin Zhengfan said and walked quickly into the room.
The second uncle raised his hand to stop Qin Zhengfan again, but finally withdrew his hand with a look of relief.
Soon, Qin Zhengfan came out with a water glass.
"Are you going to graduate with a PhD next year?" The second uncle asked as he took the water glass.
"Yes." Qin Zhengfan nodded and replied.
"According to your personality, you should be planning to stay at Nanjiang University and become a teacher, right? Moreover, when your parents talked to me before their death, they once said that they did not want you to become an official and make a fortune. If you can be a teacher, you can live a stable life.
, they will be satisfied.”
"Yeah!" Qin Zhengfan nodded, thinking of his deceased parents, his nose felt sore.
"Although you are very good at studying, it is not enough to stay in Nanjiang University just because you are good at studying. These days, you have to move around more, especially the tutors and college leaders need to put more effort and spend more money.
Gotta spend it.”
"Nanjiang University is the number one institution of higher learning in our state. My second uncle is the boss of a small place. He can't help you with connections. He can only support you financially. Here is 20,000 yuan for you. You can take it."
It's only one year, you have to seize the time and make more connections. If you don't have enough money, tell me. If you can stay at Nanjiang University, my uncle and I will be happy. No matter how much money is spent, it will be worth it." The second uncle nodded when he saw Qin Zhengfan.
, he opened his wallet, took out two stacks of money and gave it to Qin Zhengfan.
Qin Zhengfan glanced at the money in his hand, then raised his head to look at his second uncle, feeling moved in his heart.
His grandfather's side has a single lineage, and his father is the only child, so the second uncle Qin Jiaqian in front of him is actually not his biological second uncle, but his cousin, the eldest son of his third grandfather.
His grandfather is the second among the three brothers. It is said that in his early years, the eldest grandfather took a boat across the ocean to travel to a foreign country. As a result, the boat had an accident and there was no news from him.
Third Grandpa's family is quite prosperous, with two sons and one daughter, all of whom are quite promising in the village.
The second son attended a technical secondary school, and after graduation he stayed in another city and became a civil servant. It is said that his wife has some energy, and now she is working as a part-time official.
One daughter married a well-off family in the next county. That family had relatives abroad. In the early years, she and her husband went to live with him. It is said that they are now doing well abroad.
Qin Zhengfan's second uncle, Qin Jiaqian, was the eldest son of his third grandfather's family and stayed in Cangy County to develop.
Qin Jiaqian had not studied for a few years, but he had a bright mind and knew how to work. He went to the county town very early and opened a small restaurant to make a living.
In the early years, transportation in the village was inconvenient, and there were no outsiders to buy fresh fish. Therefore, the seafood brought by the fishermen in the village were shipped to other places for unloading and selling at the docks.
Strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, not to mention that the fishermen in Fengwan Village are not strong dragons at all, so the prices are kept very low, and they cannot make much money for their hard work.
Qin Jiaqian saw that others had purchased the seafood from his fishing village and could make a lot of money by reselling it. He thought to himself that he was from Fengwan Village, so he was on a first-come-first-served basis. He also knew some people in the catering industry in the county, and as long as he had seafood
Okay, the price is reasonable and it's delivered to your door, so you shouldn't have to worry about sales, so why let others make the money?
So Qin Jiaqian built a small boat specially used to transport seafood and a truck with a freezer, and purchased seafood directly in Fengwan Village at a similar price.
The fishermen don't have to work hard to sail to other people's docks, and they don't have to bargain with others or endure bullying from the locals. Naturally, they are happy to sell the fish they catch from the sea directly to Qin Jiaqian.
Qin Jiaqian first specialized in delivering goods to restaurants, hotels and other businesses to earn the price difference. Later, the business went smoothly and he made some money, so he simply set up a stall in the county's seafood wholesale market.
Today, Qin Jiaqian has assets of 15.6 million yuan.
The monthly income of ordinary people in Cangy County is only about one thousand. Although a family with assets of 15.6 million in Cangy County is not considered a wealthy family, it is definitely considered a wealthy family.
Among the third grandfather's two sons and one daughter, Qin Zhengfan's family has the best relationship with Qin Jiaqian. Although both families are in Cangy County, the main reason is that Qin Jiaqian loves family ties.
Four years ago, his parents passed away unexpectedly. He had just been recommended to Nanjiang University to study for a PhD. He knew very little about worldly affairs. Qin Jiaqian was actually helping to arrange many of his parents' funeral affairs. His grandmother's family was far away in another state, so he had no contact with him.
, so the two uncles hurried over to attend the funeral and then went back.
The relatives on grandma's side are far apart, and Qin Zhengfan's family is just an ordinary family in a poor fishing village.
As the saying goes, if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, no one cares about you. After his grandmother passed away, there was very little contact with her relatives, so during the funeral, only one of her relatives came.
My cousin from a neighboring town and others did not come because the mountain road was difficult and they were far away.
Because of this, although Qin Jiaqian is not Qin Zhengfan's biological uncle, he is better than his biological uncle in his heart.
