Chapter 44 Returning home in glory
After two days of socializing at Yang Yuying's home, Cao Jian's plane landed safely on the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Yang Yuying is just his girlfriend now, so naturally she cannot go to her boyfriend's house to celebrate the New Year.

People still pay attention to this rule nowadays.

"It's so cold."

As Cao Jian walked out of the terminal and took a breath of the cold northern air, he heard a voice calling him.

"Brother, here!"

Cao Jian looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Cao Wei who was calling him. Standing beside him were his parents, as well as the village chief and party secretary of his hometown.

In addition to these, there are actually villagers from more than 30 villages.

This is? ? ?

Cao Jian was a little confused when he saw so many people coming to pick him up.

He didn't know what the villagers would say about him giving up college and going to the south after he left, but he knew that his parents must be under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, this time he came back just to return home in glory and prove that he was right.

But I didn't expect so many people to come.

Even if there are loud gongs and drums and firecrackers when we return to the village, we can accept it.

But this is an airport, why are there so many people here?
Don't you find it troublesome?
"Xiao Jian, you're back!"

The parents looked at their son, but before they could say anything, the village head and the Party secretary stepped forward and shook Cao Jian's hand. "I didn't expect that after only six months of absence, you've become a star and the pride of our village. We're all here to pick you up."

"Uncle, uncle, I'm just going home for the New Year, there's no need to do this, right?"

Cao Jian had been "watched" for two days at Yang Yuying's house, but he looked even more terrifying now than he did two days ago.

"Why not?"

The village chief smiled and said, "My uncle and I have watched you grow up, and I knew that you were the most promising person in our village."

This attitude is even more enthusiastic than when I sent the university admission letter.

Cao Jian guessed that this must be because Cao Wei came back and exaggerated his boasting in the village, so he couldn't help but glare at him.

"Haha. Everyone wants to see the big star sooner."

Cao Wei scratched his head with a wry smile, and obediently put Cao Jian's luggage into the car.

Since everyone was here, Cao Jian had no choice but to greet everyone before saying to his parents, "Mom, Dad, I'm back."

"You're back! Hurry up and get in the car. We're waiting for you to sit down at the banquet (rural buffet) at home."

The parents were inevitably excited to see that their son had become such a successful person in just half a year.

After all, he had been frequently talked about in the village over the past six months.

Now it is completely different from when he sent his son away. Not only has he gained face, but he also stands tall in the village.

"."

Still have a seat?
I just went home to celebrate the New Year, and some people thought I was getting married.

"What's it like to fly? Are you scared?"

"Xiao Jian, aren't you dating someone? Is it the girl who sang 'Tell You Gently'? I heard she's very beautiful."

“What does it feel like to be a star?”

"Xiao Jian, can you make a lot of money by singing?"

"I heard you bought a car. How much did it cost? I heard it was made in Japan. When will you drive it back?"

This time, the village chief specially hired a large sedan to pick up Cao Jian. Along the way, the villagers asked questions enthusiastically. They were most concerned about the car and then Cao Jian's girlfriend.

Cao Jian had no choice but to take out a promotional New Year picture of Yang Yuying from his bag.

In the past, people liked to put up New Year pictures of celebrities in their houses, such as Gong Huang, Yang Yuying, and Chen Hong. Some of them were very revealing, and they were all in bikinis.

Although the songs from Yang Yuying's album, which was just released in February, have spread throughout China, her New Year pictures are only available in certain places in the south.

"Is this a fairy?"

"This girl is so beautiful, and she sings so beautifully."

"You two are stars. Xiao Jian is really talented."

……

Listening to the praises of his fellow villagers, Cao Jian was immersed in the feeling of returning home in glory. It was a pity that he couldn't bring Yang Yuying back. The road back to his hometown was not short. After everyone had calmed down, Cao Jian said to Cao Wei, "You were the one who promoted it in the village, right?"

"Hey, you're already a celebrity, I was just saying it casually. The village chief made this arrangement because he thought you brought honor to the village."

Cao Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "Besides, this isn't something to be ashamed of. Let our family show off for once."

"Are you satisfied with this? You're such a loser."

Cao Jian cursed, saying that things had come to this point and there was no point blaming the kid.

As soon as the bus stopped at the entrance of the village, the village gong and drum team began to beat the drums loudly, and firecrackers also started to pop.

Sitting in the car, Cao Jian looked at the dark crowd and rubbed his forehead.

It seems that not only people from this village have come, but people from surrounding villages have also come, a total of three or four hundred people.

It really was just as Aunt Baiyun said. There were loud drums and gongs, firecrackers, huge crowds of people, and the only thing missing was the waving red flags.

Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the crowd surrounded Cao Jian, the "big star" who brought glory to the village, and walked towards his home.

A tent had been set up at the doorstep, and as soon as Cao Jian came back, the banquet officially began. It was more lively than any other wedding.

Cao Jian also distributed the candies he brought back and gave red envelopes to all the children in the village.

Although there was only ten yuan in each red envelope, there was still thunderous cheers.

The prominent people in the village also came over to toast him, saying that he brought honor to the village.

The banquet was very sumptuous. In that era when materials were not yet abundant, having a banquet was the most lively event in the village.

The villagers ate, drank, and boasted. Besides Cao Jian, the topic they talked about most was the Gulf War.

During this period, the whole world knew that the Americans were going to take action against Saddam.

This was also the first confrontation between information warfare and traditional warfare, and information warfare won completely.

It was not until nightfall that the villagers finally dispersed.

Before returning, Cao Jian had already remitted 10,000 yuan to his family, and the family also replaced their TV with a new 21-inch color TV.

Cao Jian took out five stacks of money from his bag: "Big, this is for you and my mom."

Looking at the fifty thousand blue bills, Cao Yongan, Cao's father, sighed, "When you said you couldn't go to college, your mother and I thought you wouldn't be able to hold your head up high in the village. I didn't expect you to have achieved this in just six months. Today you have brought honor to our Cao family."

After saying that, he picked up the money, dialed it, and then put it down again: "I heard from the third brother that although singing can make money, you can't sing forever. What are your plans next?"

"Big, after the New Year, I plan to go to Hong Kong to develop my career."

"Going to Hong Kong?"

Cao Yongan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Why go to Hong Kong? I saw on video that place is very chaotic and everyone there has guns."

The most popular genre in Hong Kong in the past two years is police and gangster films, such as "A Better Tomorrow" and "Hard Boiled", which are all gun battle films.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, that place is too chaotic with fighting and killing every day.

Cao Jian laughed and said, "That's all in the movies. It's not that chaotic. Besides, I'll be careful."

"I heard from the third brother that you almost had a knife fight in Guangzhou. If you go to Hong Kong, they will have guns. You might as well stay in the South and make as much money as you can."

Cao Yongan still didn't want his son to go to Hong Kong, just like he didn't want him to go to the south in the first place.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm just going to sing."

Cao Jian smiled and said, "I'll probably make more money when I come back next year, and I'll repair the village roads then."

Now the roads in the village are all dirt roads, and they turn into mud when it rains. Now that he has returned home in glory, Cao Jian wants to do something good for the village.

Of course, it was also because my father agreed to let me go to Hong Kong.

"Alas, there's no end to making money, but you're grown up now and have a partner, so I can't control you anymore."

Cao Yongan sighed helplessly: "Then when you go to Hong Kong, can you take the third brother with you? Brothers are like tigers, at least he can help you."

"this."

Cao Jian was able to go to Hong Kong because he had fought hard for it.

He couldn't even lead Yang Yuying, let alone Cao Wei?

This guy is going to help me run a KTV in Guangzhou, but if I really go to Hong Kong, I really need a backer.
Cao Jian has been thinking about this matter for a long time.

But how do I find this backer?
