Wang Xingda was filled with excitement. This was just a spur-of-the-moment thing he had done, a little dabbling. If this business could continue for a long time...
In that instant, it seemed as if something was quietly changing.
After keeping watch for several days, Qi Ye didn't find anything else, but it seemed that the higher-ups had made some other discoveries.
In addition, Qi Ye's official mission this time was too long, and the higher-ups were worried that if Wang Xingda remembered it and used Qi Ye as a breakthrough point, he would realize something was wrong.
Therefore, Qi Ye finished his mission and went home.
At that time, the gears of time slowly turned into the golden autumn of October.
When Qi Ye returned home, her grandmother was measuring the two children with a soft measuring tape. Aunt Zhang from the village had brought some soft cotton, and her grandmother was worried that winter was approaching too quickly and that her old eyesight might not be good enough to finish making the cotton. So she decided to start making the cotton now.
Grandma was overjoyed to see Qi Ye. "You're finally back, my child."
It's kind of pitiful to think about. They got married in July, stayed at home in August, and were away from home almost the entire month of September. Roughly speaking, they spent a third of their time away from home during the few months of their marriage.
"Grandma," Qi Ye's hands were busy, with bags and packages tied to the bicycle handlebars, and even the back seat was piled high.
He smiled and said, "I'm back."
The children were overjoyed and rushed towards Qi Ye, shouting, "Dad!"
Children are so pure. They remember who treats them well, even though they are young. They are as clear as mirrors. They all miss Qi Ye terribly after not seeing him for so long.
Nian'an, being young, pouted and looked a little unhappy, hugging Qi Ye's leg, "Daddy, why did you only come back now? We all missed you so much!"
Looking at the children, Qi Ye felt a warm glow in his heart. "Daddy missed you too. Okay, stop fussing. Let's put our things down first."
Grandma came forward to help, and Qi Ye looked at her with a more genuine smile. "It's been more than half a month since I last saw you, and I feel that you look even better. You look like you've become a few years younger."
No woman dislikes hearing flattery, and Grandma's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Oh, really?"
Qi Ye looked certain and even joked with a smile, "Yes, you look several years younger. Grandma, what are your secrets to maintaining your youthful appearance? Don't keep them to yourself, tell us!"
Grandma chuckled and shook her head, "Look at you, child, you've gotten addicted to teasing me."
After saying that, Grandma started carrying the things home.
Actually, she knew what Qi Ye was saying. Although she hadn't been traveling far during this time, she still often got together with her neighbors to chat.
People had told her before that she looked much better, and at first she thought it was just a compliment, but it turned out to be true.
But thinking about it carefully, it's true. Life wasn't good in the countryside before. Plus, living in the home of unfilial children made me unhappy. I had to endure cold words and sarcastic remarks. I couldn't eat well, dress well, or sleep well. Everything was bad.
But now that I've moved to the county town with my granddaughter, everything is different.
Here, she eats well, lives well, and no one gives her a hard time. Here, she is the ancestor.
When you're in a good mood, eat well, and sleep soundly, it's impossible for your complexion not to look good.
After understanding the reason, Grandma's expression softened considerably.
Qi Ye brought a lot of things to the house this time. He brought more than ten kilograms of fine white flour, white rice, and a small bag. When Grandma opened it, she found all kinds of beans neatly categorized inside.
The other bag contained dried fruit and other items.
Everything is complete.
Turning to the very bottom, there was a dried, cured pork leg.
Grandma: "!!!"
Goodness gracious, who would believe this family's financial situation!
Qi Ye poked his head out and said, "Grandma, I'm taking the two kids out for a walk." Looking at the cured pork leg in his grandma's hand, Qi Ye reminded her, "Eat as much as you want. In two days, I'm going to marry Aunt Zhang's team to hunt wild boar. There won't be a shortage of meat at home then."
Grandma was speechless at his nonchalant words and could only agree, "Okay, okay, go out and play, but don't forget to come back for dinner."
Qi Ye: "Sigh!"
After saying that, Qi Ye picked up the two children from the family and put them on the bicycle. "Come on, I'll take you to find your mother."
"Will it work?" Qi Nianping's eyes lit up. "Mom is still at work. Won't we bother her?"
"Won't!"
Qi Ye took the children to the steel factory gate, put down the car, and bought some candy for the two children to share.
He went to the security room, took out some cigarettes, and gave one to each person.
The security guard was slightly flattered. "Hey, buddy, what are you doing with a child?"
"Waiting for my wife, nothing to do," Qi Ye chuckled, "I'll chat with my brothers."
Qi Ye didn't change his clothes this time; he was still wearing his military uniform. Talking with someone like that was somewhat stressful, but seeing that Qi Ye's attitude was very good, the security guards gradually relaxed as the conversation progressed.
"How is it?"
The security guard, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, chuckled and said, "Hey, it's nothing special. I just kill time when I don't have much to do."
“Sigh~” Qi Ye disagreed. “You can’t say that. The steel plant is the leading enterprise in our county. If something happens to it, the impact will be huge.”
Economic losses are certain, but the negative impact they cause is even more terrible than the economic losses.
"Yes, yes," the security guard scratched his head, his still young face showing some childishness, "There definitely won't be any problems, don't worry."
When this was mentioned, the young security guard puffed out his chest with pride, saying, "We receive awards every year, so don't worry."
Qi Ye chatted briefly with the security guard before it was time for Shen Fenghua to get off work. At first, when Qi Ye pushed her bicycle out of the steel factory gate, Shen Fenghua didn't see Qi Ye until Li Yanran nudged her arm with a knowing smile.
"Hey, look who's that."
Shen Fenghua was somewhat puzzled, but subconsciously followed the gaze that Li Yanran was pointing to.
It's Qi Ye.
Her eyes lit up instantly. She said a few words to Li Yanran and then happily ran towards the father and his two sons, asking, "What brings you all here?"
"I've come to pick you up."
Nian'an hugged Shen Fenghua's leg and called out "Mom." After her initial excitement wore off, Shen Fenghua pouted unhappily, "So you do know how to come back."
Qi Ye smiled and said, "It was a mission. I had no choice but to come back as soon as my mission was over."
Shen Fenghua knew this, but there was no need for such reasoning between husband and wife. Sometimes, exchanging a few harmless words could be quite interesting.
