After settling the Feng family father and son, Yang Shuanglin had to stay at the factory for duty. The factory had a lot of equipment and raw materials, and they needed to guard against thieves stealing motors as well as prevent fires.
The biggest fire hazard in the board factory was fire, especially during the Spring Festival when fireworks were flying everywhere, easily igniting the factory's raw materials.
Therefore, Yang Shuanglin had to stay at the factory twenty-four hours a day. Today was a special situation, as his daughter's family and his sister's family were coming, so he had gone back for a morning. He dared not leave in the afternoon.
However, Feng Wen and Feng Wu couldn't sit still. After greeting Yang Shuanglin, they prepared to go to Xinqiao Town for a look. The factory had Jing Yongli's motorcycle.
As the two rode the motorcycle to the main gate, a white SUV drove towards them, almost colliding with them.
If it were the brothers' usual temper, they would have not only cursed loudly but also rushed to pull the driver out and teach him a lesson.
But they didn't dare to do so here. The main reason was that they were unfamiliar with the situation here. If they kicked an iron plate, it would be difficult to resolve. They understood this car; it was worth two to three hundred thousand yuan. In this poor place, anyone who could afford such a good car must be an influential person.
Since they weren't hit, the brothers planned to drive around. Unexpectedly, the driver of the SUV got out.
"Who are you? This is my family's motorcycle. Where are you going? Hurry up and put it down, or I'll call someone."
Yang Rui blocked them aggressively. She had just returned from visiting relatives and planned to park the car at the factory. This car was usually driven by Jiang Bin. Since Jiang Bin had gone back for the Spring Festival, it became Yang Rui's exclusive car.
She didn't recognize these two people because she hadn't seen them for over ten years. Not only had she changed a lot as she grew up, but her two cousins' appearances had also changed significantly. She thought they were thieves trying to steal the car.
"Your family's car? My uncle is driving it. My uncle is Yang Shuanglin, do you know him?"
Feng Wen was confused about the situation and could only bring up his uncle. He didn't recognize the beautiful girl in front of him.
"My dad is your uncle? You are my cousins?"
Yang Rui then remembered that her aunt's family was arriving today. These should be her two cousins, who were only a few months older than her.
"You're Rui Rui? Wow, you've become so beautiful. You're completely different from when you were little. I'm your Wen Ge."
"Oh, hello Wen Ge, hello Wu Ge. Have you had lunch? Where are you going?"
Yang Rui vaguely remembered their features and still had some impression. They were indeed her two cousins.
"We've eaten. My dad and my eldest uncle are inside. We're planning to go to Xinqiao Town for a look."
"Going to Xinqiao? Then I'll take you. It's so cold riding a motorcycle. I'll go in and say hello to my uncle first."
After speaking, Yang Rui got into the car and drove into the factory area to turn around. Feng Wen and his brother also returned the motorcycle to the factory.
After a brief chat with her uncle, Yang Rui set off with her two cousins.
"Rui Rui, where do you work? Why do you drive such a good car?"
Feng Wu asked tentatively from the passenger seat.
"I don't work anywhere. I'm still studying. This car isn't mine either; it belongs to Director Jiang. He's gone back for the Spring Festival, so I'm driving it temporarily for a few days."
This car was given to Jiang Bin by Yang Jian, so Yang Rui acknowledged it as Jiang's car.
"You're still studying, university? What year?"
"Yes, I'm in my fourth year."
"Oh, you're so amazing. We all graduated from junior high school. You'll graduate in another semester. Where are you doing your internship?"
Although Feng Wu hadn't attended university, he knew that the last semester of the fourth year was usually spent doing internships.
"I'm not interning. I've already been accepted into graduate school and will continue my studies."
"Really? Rui Rui, you're too amazing."
The brothers were both shocked. Yang Rui was already someone they looked up to when she was in university, and now she had been accepted into graduate school. This was the first time they had truly interacted with someone of such a high educational background.
"What's so amazing about it? Five out of six girls in our dormitory got accepted. University students are everywhere now. If you don't pursue graduate studies, you won't be competitive. Of course, my brother also pushed me. If he hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have thought of pursuing graduate studies."
"Your brother didn't go to university too?"
Feng Wu suddenly felt that he knew too little about his eldest uncle's family, his impression still stuck from over ten years ago.
"My brother didn't go after graduating from high school. Our family couldn't afford two university students at the time, and my grades were better than his, so they fully supported me. However, my brother is very capable. Look at this road; he paid for it."
Yang Rui spoke carelessly, pointing to the road they were driving on and proudly introducing it.
"What did you say? Your brother paid for this road?"
Feng Wen and Feng Wu jumped up simultaneously, not feeling the pain even when their heads hit the car roof. This news was too shocking. Didn't their uncle's family live in brick houses? How could they afford to build such a wide road? The cost of this road was at least over a million yuan.
Yang Rui looked at them strangely, "Yes, my brother contracted the construction of this road and personally invested sixty thousand yuan. The rest was allocated by the state."
"Didn't Jian Ge work in the south? How could he afford to build a road?"
"Ah, yes, my brother is doing business in the south. The road was built to facilitate the entry and exit of trucks from the template factory."
Yang Rui suddenly remembered that she shouldn't talk about her brother's affairs carelessly. After all, she hadn't seen these two cousins for more than ten years, and one could know a person's face but not their heart. It was better to be cautious.
"Jian Ge is building roads for the template factory? Did Jian Ge also open the template factory?"
Feng Wu heard unusual information from Yang Rui's words.
Yang Rui was stunned, "Didn't my dad tell you about our family's situation?"
"Ah, he didn't say much. After we arrived this morning, we went to pay respects at Grandpa's grave. Then President Lu came. After lunch, we came to the factory, and we didn't have time to chat much with Uncle."
"Oh, that explains it."
Yang Rui responded perfunctorily and stopped talking. She found it strange that from the words of these two cousins, she could clearly sense that her parents had concealed something from them and had not told them the true situation of their family.
"Rui Rui, does the template factory belong to your family?"
Feng Wu continued to ask.
"The template factory occupies our family's land. I'm not sure if we have shares. To prepare for graduate school, I didn't come back all summer, so I'm not very clear about the family's affairs."
Yang Rui also started to play evasive. Since her father was deliberately concealing things, she couldn't say too much either.
"Didn't you say Jian Ge invested sixty thousand yuan to build the road? He must be a major shareholder, right?"
"I said my brother contracted the construction of this road and provided sixty thousand yuan in upfront capital. This money might have come from the template factory."
"Then what business is Jian Ge actually in? He doesn't come back for the Spring Festival either. Can you give me his phone number? Because I'm also doing business in the south, I'll go see him then."
"I don't know my brother's phone number. I've been almost isolated from the world for over a year preparing for graduate school. Except for asking for living expenses from home, I haven't contacted anyone in the family. You should ask my dad when you get back."
The more eagerly the other party asked, the more Yang Rui felt she couldn't speak carelessly. She passed the ball to her father.
