"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Yan Hongyi looked surprised.

"I can't do anything about it..." Deputy Director Qin said with a bitter face, "I don't have the final say in Yun County. If my superiors don't agree, how can I dare to make such a big fuss?"

"I know that your Revolutionary Committee gave a military officer the title of leader, but according to common sense, a military officer wouldn't extend his hand so far as to manage local affairs, right?"

"Our Commander Xiao is a principled man. Normally, he won't interfere. But if you cross his red line, he won't be so easy to talk to."

"What's his red line?"

“Don’t engage in struggle or sabotage.”

Yan Hongyi sneered.

Deputy Commander Qin glanced at him and said, "What do you mean? You don't agree? Humph, I don't like that kind of chaotic environment where everyone is in danger. I think what Commander Xiao did is commendable."

Yan Hongyi waved his hands, unwilling to talk about Master Xiao, "So, you gave up the treasures?"

Deputy Qin sighed, "There is no other way, I can only give up. I advise you to give up this thought for the time being and wait for the opportunity in the future."

Yan Hongyi knew what Deputy Director Qin meant by this. It was simply that Xiao Zheng could not stay in Yun County for his entire life. He should wait until Xiao Zheng was transferred or when there were other changes in the situation, and then look for an opportunity.

Yan Hongyi was unwilling, but there was no other way. He has no final say in Yun County, and without the support of Deputy Director Qin, he cannot take any action.

Forget it, let’s put this matter aside for now.

Anyway, the treasure is already hidden in these few pieces, so it won’t hurt to put a few more.

However, I have to keep in touch with Deputy Director Qin at all times and pay close attention to the situation in the garden to avoid being beaten to it by others. For example, Commander Xiao.

Deputy Commander Qin said something nice, saying that Commander Xiao was a man of integrity and not greedy for fame and fortune, but Yan Hongyi didn't dare to believe it completely. Now that the secret of the treasure has been known by that Master Xiao, we must be on guard at all times.

The same goes for Vice President Qin in front of him. Who knows whether what he said about giving up is true or not? What if he wants to keep it all for himself?

Yan Hongyi thought that he would need to place a few spies in Yun County.

"Mom, mom, dad is back!"

Yuanyuan was playing with dirt in the yard. When she heard the sound of a car outside, she shouted into the house and then ran out of the yard.

It was indeed Xiao Zheng.

"dad!"

Yuanyuan rushed to Xiao Zheng with her arms open and threw herself on her father. Xiao Zheng caught her with both hands and lifted her up with a smile.

"Daughter, do you miss your daddy?"

"Yes!" Yuanyuan answered loudly.

Xiao Zheng laughed out loud.

Although Yuanyuan is naughty, she can be really caring when she is thoughtful.

Xiao Zheng carried his daughter into the house, and Xiao Zhu followed behind carrying things.

"Dad." Dongdong greeted him at the door.

"Yeah." Xiao Zheng touched his son's head, "How come you seem to have grown taller after just a few days of not seeing you?"

"It's an illusion. How can I grow taller in just a few days?" Dongdong smiled and shook his head.

"That's right, haha!" Xiao Zheng put Yuanyuan down and picked up Tuantuan who was eating. "What are you eating? You didn't react when dad came back?"

Tuantuan swallowed the food in his mouth and answered obediently: "It's rice cake. Grandma just learned how to make it from someone else. Do you want some, Dad?" Then he fed the remaining half of the cake to his father.

Xiao Zheng opened his mouth and swallowed it all, "Yeah, not bad."

Tuantuan: "Dad, where is my rice paper?"

Yuanyuan also thought of her gift, "Dad, what delicious food did you buy for me?"

Dong Dong: "Dad, my book."

"We have everything. Let Uncle Xiao Zhu bring it to you."

Xiao Zheng gave some instructions and went to find a wife.

An Hua was writing materials for her composition in the study. She had heard the noise outside a long time ago, but she did not go out because she was just writing to the point where inspiration struck her.

Xiao Zheng came in and whispered, "Wife?"

An Hua looked up and smiled, "You're back."

Xiao Zheng walked up to her, put one hand on her shoulder, glanced casually at the writing on the table, and said aggrievedly: "You knew I was back, but you didn't go out to see me."

An Hua didn't say anything, she just stood up and kissed him on the face.

Xiao Zheng's grievances immediately disappeared.

He handed a box to An Hua, "Open it and see if you like it."

"There's a gift for me?" An Hua was surprised, and even more surprised after opening the box, "This is..."

Barbie doll? ?

"I saw it at the Qiaohui store. I thought the clothes she was wearing were nice, like what you wore before, so I thought you would like it."

An Hua took the Barbie doll in her hands, touched her golden hair, and then touched her puffy skirt.

Seeing such foreign stuff in this era really gives me a sense of being torn apart from time and space.

"Are there dolls like this sold in stores?"

"Yes, but it's quite expensive."

"You want some foreign exchange certificates? Where did you get them?" An Hua asked.

"I exchanged it with someone. You spent all the money you gave me before you left."

Xiao Zheng usually doesn't care about money and he doesn't have any money on hand. This time he was on a business trip, even though everything was arranged by the organization and he didn't get much money, An Huan still gave him some money for him to buy things, for fear that he might need it for something.

"Do you like it?"

An Hua smiled and pursed her lips, fiddling with the Barbie doll in her hand, "This is a toy for little girls. I'm already over 30 years old, how can I play with this... You should buy it for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan."

Xiao Zheng chuckled and whispered, "It's OK as long as you like her. Who cares about her age? Besides, in my heart, you are just a little girl."

This rough guy, when did he become so disgusting!

An Hua looked at the man lovingly, and Xiao Zheng felt a surge of electricity running through his body. He was so moved that he could not help but lower his head to look for that blush.

Just as I was about to get closer, the study door clicked and opened.

A head poked its head in furtively.

"Mom and Dad, what are you playing with the door closed? Yuanyuan wants to play too~"
