"As you should. If you call me grandpa, I will treat you as my junior. When you report for duty, I will have our first secretary take you there."

When you are in Xiao Qingyang's position, you don't need to say hello specifically if you want to take care of two students.

Xia Dong will personally take them to register, and you don’t have to worry about the rest. The school leaders will naturally arrange it properly.

If he didn't have this level of political awareness, he wouldn't be able to hold a management position at Sioux City University.

Titles such as professor and associate professor can be promoted based on one's teaching quality and research results.

But administrative positions depend on his political awareness and management skills.

"Thank you for your love, Grandpa."

Han Fei and Li Xue quickly stood up to express their gratitude. As long as Xiao Qingyang said these words, they knew that their college life would not be too difficult.

"Okay, the food is getting cold. Let's go to the restaurant and eat while we talk!"

Muxue was particularly happy about Lele's arrival. Although he was a dry baby, he was the first child of her fourth generation and the one who called her great-grandmother.

"Grandma, wait a minute, weren't you talking about hazel mushrooms from Northeast China a few days ago? This time, Brother Han brought some, but we were so busy talking when we got out of the car that we forgot about them in the trunk."

As soon as they got off the car, Li Xue and Zhou Fengying went around in circles about how to address each other, which confused Yang Baiyi as well.

"That's great! Bring it here quickly. The pheasant doesn't taste right with hazel mushrooms."

Because of the hazel mushrooms, Mu Xue stewed a small pheasant and mushroom stew on the stove.

A group of people sat around a table filled with all kinds of game. With three children dressed in messy clothes, it seemed as if they were back in that small blue brick courtyard in the Northeast.

Xiao Qingyang and Yang Baiyi were still the main drinkers. Xiao Fuxing and Han Fei could not drink much and could only taste a little to show their appreciation.

The meal lasted until around nine o'clock in the evening. After they had eaten their fill and chatted to their heart's content, the three children yawned and felt sleepy.

"Grandpa and grandma, you two have to go to work tomorrow, let's visit another day!"

Han Fei offered to leave.

"Okay, since you're studying in Su City, you can't leave for two or three years. Come over to my house when you're free."

There is still a long time to come, so Xiao Qingyang did not try to persuade him to stay.

"Brother, I want to live in the other courtyard with you. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I want to play with Lele."

Now that she had a playmate, the little girl no longer cared about her brother asking her to go on a diet.

"Okay, go carry your schoolbag!"

Yang Baiyi agreed readily.

After returning to Jinyun Villa, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms.

"Brother Fei, who would have thought that a high-ranking official like Grandpa would have experienced so many setbacks and endured so much hardship."

The couple lay in bed. Since they had slept all day, they were not sleepy at all.

"Who said it wasn't? I used to think that Grandpa was a retired cadre and that he would go to Chenjiatun to spend the winter with Baiyi and his sister when he had nothing to do at home. Who knew that it was Baiyi who took them away from the farm?"

When they were in Chenjiatun, because Xiao Qingyang's family's identity was too sensitive, it was never made public. Only when Xiao Fuxing was discussing marriage did he tell Zhou Fengying privately.

Today, in the staff housing compound, Xiao Qingyang spoke frankly about the first half of his life, which was full of ups and downs, as well as twists and turns.

As the vice governor, he did not hide his shameful past.

A truly strong person is someone who dares to face his or her own unbearable past and regards all suffering as a kind of experience.

"Grandpa is now the vice governor, yet he's still so approachable and doesn't seem to be the slightest bit disgusted or unfamiliar with us. He truly treats us like his juniors!

Brother Fei, if, I mean if, if after we graduate from university, you are lucky enough to have a career in politics, I hope you can be like grandpa.

No matter where you are, you should always keep a pure heart and never forget where you came from."

Although the room was pitch black and Li Xue's expression could not be seen, it was not difficult to hear from her tone that she was very serious at the moment.

"Xiaoxue, don't worry, people are divided into groups, and the power of example is infinite.

With my grandfather and Bai Yi as my guiding lights, no matter how far I can go in the future, I will never forget my original intention.

I have a hunch that compared to my grandfather, Bai Yi is a real big shot.

Just think about it, when my grandfather and his family were still undergoing reform on the farm, he was able to bring them home to enjoy a good life. Is this something that an ordinary person can do?

There are many cadres who were demoted to lower ranks, many of whom are higher than Grandpa, but have you heard of anyone who was able to be reinstated?"

Today at the dinner table, Han Fei had such doubts after listening to Xiao Qingyang recalling the past.

Yang Baiyi is definitely not an ordinary person, because ordinary people would not dare to do this and cannot do such a thing.

"Who cares! Since Bai Yi doesn't say anything, it's inconvenient for outsiders to know.

Regardless of his status, he is our son's godfather, our good friend, and our benefactor."

In matters like this, women tend to be more emotional.

"You're right, go to sleep quickly. Get up early tomorrow and take a good stroll around the courtyard. I slept all day today and haven't had time to visit this villa yet!"

It was late at night and the couple stopped chatting. They helped Lele tuck in the quilt and went to sleep.

The next day, Li Xue got up early and prepared to make breakfast for everyone, but found that Lin Wanru had also gotten up.

"Sister-in-law, you're still with Lele, why don't you sleep for a while?"
