Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? Chapter 107 I’ve Made A Name For Myself!
Fang Huilan's voice started to crack as she hugged her son, tears streaming down her face.
His younger sister, Wu Yan, held onto his arm and with joy too.
Father Wu, who was at the side, raised his arm and patted his wife on the back. "That's enough. Our child's return is such a happy occasion. Why are you still crying?"
He comforted her, but the people beside him clearly saw tears in his eyes as well.
After a mont, they slowly separated.
"Wow... Old Wu's son has beco more handso after a year."
"Yeah, he looks much more energetic. I wonder if he's found a job yet."
"This is great. Changkang Village is going to produce a talented blacksmith."
Everyone was talking at the sa ti.
After Fang Huilan heard them, she suddenly rembered sothing. She grabbed her son's hand with a concerned expression and asked, "Little Mo, I heard that the employnt environnt for students this year isn't too good. If you don't find a good job, you can stay at ho for two years. There's no rush."
As she spoke, she tidied up Wu Mo's collar. The concern on her face was obvious.
"Yes, your mother is right. A good man is ambitious. If there's nothing good now, we'll wait a little longer. I know that you've dread of becoming a blacksmith since you were young. You don't have to worry about your family. We'll definitely have the money for your further education!"
Father Wu walked up to his son and patted his shoulder. His tone was firm as he spoke.
"Brother, do your best. I'll study hard too. Let's live a good life together," Wu Yan said in a soft voice.
Wu Mo wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and looked at his parents, who were comforting him, with a shocked expression.
Monts ago, the atmosphere was touching when the family reunited.
Why did his parents suddenly say those two sentences?
They made it seem like he had not graduated. What the hell was this?
Seeing both of their comforting expressions, Wu Mo imdiately explained, "Father, Mother... what are you talking about? I've already found a job. In half a day at most, your son is going to the National Artifact Research Departnt in Beijing. I ca back just to see you. Did the two of you misunderstand sothing?"
As soon as Wu Mo said that, his parents appeared a little dumbfounded before him.
Their surrounding relatives were also surprised. Had old Wu's son found a good job?
They had heard from the village chief that a blacksmith's monthly salary was over ¥10,000.
"I also ca back this ti to bring you both to Shanglin City."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and stroked his sister's soft hair. He smiled and added, "Isn't Little Sis going to junior high soon? Where else can we get a better education for her? When the ti cos, our family will be reunited. How great would that be?"
"Right, Yan Yan?"
Wu Mo blinked, and Yan Yan imdiately nodded with an expectant look on her face. At the sa ti, she naively said, "That would definitely be good. When that happens, our parents won't have to work so hard."
When she heard that her son was going to take them to Shanglin City to live and that he had even found a job in the capital, Fang Huilan felt as if she was in a dream.
Everything seed extrely surreal.
"Uuu, it looks like Old Wu's son is doing well. The capital is a large-scale base city. It's many tis better than our Lin Chang."
"I have a distant relative, whose son works in the capital. He earns ¥6,000 to ¥7,000 a month just repairing appliances. That place is as good as heaven. Ordinary people like us will never be able to go there in our lifeti."
"That's right. Besides, Old Wu's son is a blacksmith. If he goes to the capital, won't he be able to earn ¥20,000 a month? He's going to be rich."
Everyone was shocked by Wu Mo's words, and they started to talk among themselves.
However, the village chief who was standing at the side shook his head, as though he was a little disappointed.
"Child, this isn't funny. The Research Departnt in the capital is equivalent to a place like the General Assembly Hall. It's full of the country's senior leaders. How can people with ordinary backgrounds like us go there?" the old village chief tapped his cane and said in disbelief.
Old Wu had been standing at the side in silence, but he instantly widened his eyes when he saw what happened.
He stared at Wu Mo and said with a flushed face, "Stinky brat, did you get expelled from the academy in Shanglin City? Now, you're making stories up to deceive . I'll..."
Old Wu could not hold it in anymore. He was ready to rush up to his son, whom he had not seen for a long ti, and teach him a lesson.
The surrounding villagers were also skeptical. They had been watching TV lately. The daily news clearly said that the employnt situation was grim this year, but the Wu family's son just said that he was going to work in Beijing. It was indeed hard to believe.
Seeing that the number of people surrounding them was growing and that his father was showing signs of laying hands on him, Wu Mo could not straighten things out.
His old man was rambling on and on, turning the show of his return to their village into a large-scale social death. Wu Mo was having a really hard ti!
Just as the crowd beca boisterous, the sound of a horn suddenly rang out from afar.
Old Wu's raised hand paused for a mont. He noticed that on the dirt road not far away, a black car was driving in their direction!
The villagers had never seen a car in such a godforsaken place before. They were instantly drawn to it.
At that mont, even the village chief, who was holding a walking stick, could not help but take a few more glances.
The black SUV stopped at the open space in front of the village entrance. The car door was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform walked out.
Right then, the village chief's sharp eyes noticed that a badge the color of a pine branch hung on the shoulder of the middle-aged man's military green uniform. There were two golden wheat ears and two golden stars on it.
After he spotted those details, the old village chief's hair stood on end, and his face turned pale with horror.
Oh, my God... Yes, a high-ranking official from Lin Chang satellite city had arrived!
The village chief's hands were trembling in fear, and he hurriedly went up to the middle-aged man with his cane to welco him. He was supposed to have so problems with his legs, but at that mont, he was pretty much flying!
The village chief's soul almost flew out of his body, especially when he saw the middle-aged man's face clearly.
As the village chief, he naturally paid attention to national affairs. Moreover, because his family was relatively wealthy, he often watched the news on his television.
At that mont, the village chief realized that the person in front of him was General Shao Yuan. The village chief had been invited to participate in a strategy eting in Lin Chang satellite city last year, and the general had spoken on stage!
Back then, General Shao Yuan had told everyone that he was fortunate enough to participate in efforts to alleviate national poverty. That one ti was enough for the village chief to imprint the general's face into his mind because General Shao Yuan was the biggest official in the eting!
Witnessing General Shao Yuan drive over to the village, the chief could not help but wonder just how big of an event had happened to alarm such a big shot!
At that mont, the big shot from Lin Chang satellite city got out of the car and imdiately walked in his direction. So, the village chief hurried over to welco him.
"General Shao, the wind actually blew you here. As the village chief of Changkang Village, I didn't know that you would be visiting us. It's a real pity that I didn't welco you earlier on."
