In no time, the boy could recite the zodiac signs of the whole family. I have to admit, I really admire my son's amazing memory.

In the afternoon, while everyone was taking a nap, the village committee members called out from outside the courtyard: "Old Ye's family, we have your son-in-law's phone number!"

Hearing the sound, Ye Wanying opened her eyes, and the man sleeping beside her sat up first: "I'll go answer the phone, you can sleep a little longer," he said to his wife.

Ye Wanying hummed in response. She had only slept for less than half an hour, and her biological clock hadn't woken up yet, so she mumbled a reply and continued to sleep.

Gao Dan finished dressing and went out. Ye's father had already reached the courtyard gate and started chatting with the man. When he saw Gao Dan, Ye's father quickly waved and said, "Dan, come here, let me introduce you. This is your third uncle."

"Third Uncle."

"Hey, great! This son-in-law has the spirit of someone who's going to do great things. He's a perfect match for our Yingying!"

When someone heard others complimenting him on how well he and his wife matched, he felt incredibly proud and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket: "Uncle, have one of these."

"Okay, give me one!"

In Yejiacun, almost every man smokes, except for the younger generation; they all smoke hookah or leaf tobacco.

For these men, there's nothing that can't be solved with a cigarette; cigarettes have a lot of uses.

After respectfully lighting cigarettes for his third uncle and Ye's father, Gao Dan went to the village committee office by himself.

When I received the call, I almost thought I had misheard:

"Why is it you?"

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback: "Big brother, why can't it be me? Do you really look down on your second brother that much?"

"I dare not accept the title of Minister Gu's elder brother. How could it be you who came?"

This task was so trivial that even a fool would never have assigned it to Gu Ziling, yet she still came. This clearly shows that she must have used some underhanded methods behind the scenes.

The person on the other end of the phone, seeing that he hadn't even gotten anything yet, was being thoroughly humiliated: "Ahem, big brother, Commander Gao, I do have a letter of appointment."

Gao Dan's lips twitched a few times before he finally said, "Since you've taken on this mission, then hurry up and stop dragging your feet. I don't have that much time to play around with you!"

"Brother, I want to hurry too, but the car broke down and the driver is fixing it."

"Heh, so what? What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone almost burst out laughing: "Ahem, brother, I'm near the train station right now. If you have time, could you come pick me up? I heard you drove back."

They're pushing their luck!

"Your car broke down? Then you'll have to walk!" With that, he hung up the phone and went back home with a dark expression.

Although Ye Wanying was asleep, she was in a very drowsy state, so she opened her eyes as soon as she entered the room and asked, "Who called?"

"Gu Ziling!"

Upon hearing this name, Ye Wanying immediately snapped to attention. Who was Gu Ziling? Wasn't that Minister Gu, whom everyone in the military feared? That guy had even arrested her before.

"How could it be him? Oh, are you changing clothes to go out?"

The man had already changed into his military uniform: "You keep sleeping, I'm going to the train station to pick someone up. That unlucky guy's car broke down on the way."

Ye Wanying nodded: "Okay, be careful on the way. I'll have my mom tidy up Yang's room later, is that alright?"

Since Gu Ziling is coming, given our relationship, we definitely can't let her stay outside.
