Tang Shengkai almost lost his balance on the stool. He quickly straightened the chair and then stared intently at his daughter. Wow, he thought, "I knew my daughter was amazing! She's just too amazing."

Her daughter suddenly became an official! This old father feels utterly useless.

"dad?"

"Hmm? Oh! That's great. Honey, you..."

"Dad, I don't want to be a soldier. I want to stay with Mom and my brothers."

Tang Shengkai didn't try to persuade Tang Yue. "Fine, whatever you say, daughter."

"Hehe, Dad is so nice. Did you ask for leave, Dad? Uncle Kang said he'd give you two days off since you're back. Shall we go home together?"

Tang Shengkai was surprised to hear such good news. He really wanted to go home and check on his family.

"Yueyue, wait for Daddy. Daddy will go ask for leave right now."

"Dad, I'll go with you."

Tang Shengkai took Tang Yue to the military base. After Tang Shengkai got leave, Commander Kang arranged for Chang Yin to drive the two of them home.

Tang Yue wondered why Commander Kang hadn't asked for her opinion this time.

As Tang Yue was leaving the military base, she brushed past an oncoming military vehicle, and her eyes met those of the person in the opposite vehicle.

Both of them were surprised for a moment, then Tang Yue turned her head expressionlessly, while the person in the car opposite her became excited.

Chang Yin, looking straight ahead as he drove, said to Tang Shengkai in the back, "The missions you've been involved in these past few days are all classified; we can't tell anyone about them."

"Yes, Battalion Commander, I understand."

"The whole South Island has been quite unsettled these past few days. It's better for you to stay in the village rather than go out unnecessarily."

"Yes, Battalion Commander. I just want to go home and visit my family. I'll return to the unit tomorrow night."

Upon reaching the vicinity of Daobei Village, they were surrounded by a group of villagers on the road. Tang Yue frowned; how come there was never a return trip without incident?

Chang Yin drove up and parked the car. As soon as the group got out, they heard Li Qingyang's voice.

"Captain Qin, this road is shared by our two villages. We didn't ask Daonan Village to help with the road repairs, so why can't Daobei Village repair its own road?"

Before Captain Qin could speak, a villager from Daonan Village stood up and said, "Captain Li, what you're saying is incorrect. Although this road is shared by both our villages, when you were building it, you filled in half of our village's area with stones and soil."

With you digging up our fields like this, how much less grain will we harvest each year?

Folks, don't you agree?

"Yes, your village is building a road, so why are you digging up the fields of other villages? No way, you have to pay compensation, you have to pay compensation!"

"Yes, pay up!"

Li Qingyang looked at Qin Yi and said, "Captain Qin, the fields on both sides of this road are state-owned for two meters. In the past, this was a road, but it has become narrower and narrower over the years. The older generation in both villages should know this."

Qin Yi maintained a smile throughout, but didn't say a word.

Li Qingyang was truly helpless. "Captain Qin, what do you suggest we do about this?"
