Chapter 214 Reinstatement and Departure
In the village committee office, everyone sat around.
Shang Ziming took a file folder from his subordinate and handed it to Old Man Gong.
Old Man Gong was somewhat excited, his hands trembling slightly as he accepted the package and opened it.
Looking at the contents of the document, he burst into tears of joy.
"Old Cai, we can finally go back."
Old Cai was equally excited. He took the appointment letter from Old Gong and read it carefully, word by word. After reading the last few words, he was also moved to tears.
Suddenly, he wiped his face, stood up and straightened his clothes, then, head held high, saluted Old Man Gong, "Greetings, Commander."
Old Man Gong stood up solemnly and returned the salute.
After the ceremony, the two embraced, filled with excitement, joy, ambition, and boundless enthusiasm.
"Congratulations, Grandpa Gong and Grandpa Cai." Seeing their demeanor, Su Xiao knew they were about to leave. Grandpa Gong was likely quite influential and would probably assume an important position after leaving.
"Haha, little girl, my real name is Yang Degong, you can call me Grandpa Yang."
Su Xiao pouted. Yang Degong, Grandpa Gong, and Grandpa Hua all have the surname Hua. So they are all aliases.
However, Su Xiao didn't delve into these matters. She sweetly called out "Grandpa Yang," then looked at Old Man Cai with a clear meaning in her eyes.
Old Cai immediately understood and laughed, "My surname is Cai, that's right."
"Grandpa Cai," Su Xiaowei called out with a smile.
Zhao Xi and his group were stunned. They couldn't help but think back over the years, wondering if they had done anything excessive. It seemed that, except for the first year, uh...
"Oh, congratulations! I never imagined that our Xiaheshan Village had such a hidden talent." After a moment of panic, Zhao Xi immediately smiled and flattered him, "We were foolish in the past and did not know your background. We have offended you greatly. Please forgive us."
"Secretary Zhao, you're too kind," Yang Degong said with a smile, waving his hand. He didn't hold a grudge at all; instead, he thanked Zhao Xi, "We should be thanking the leaders of Xiaheshan Village for their care and support over the years, allowing us to live here peacefully..."
The office was filled with a harmonious atmosphere.
"Elder Yang, Elder Cai, you should go back and pack your things. We need to head back immediately," Shang Ziming interrupted, explaining the situation. "The situation in the capital is dire. Elder Qin sent me to personally fetch you to discuss important matters back in the capital..."
"Let's hurry up and not waste any time," Yang Degong said immediately, as he didn't like small talk either.
Even a broken boat has three pounds of nails. Yang Degong and his men have lived here for more than ten years, so there are bound to be some things that cannot be measured by money.
Besides, they also needed to say goodbye to their companions.
That's right, this time, only Yang Degong, Old Man Cai, and Granny Cai are allowed to leave.
Old Man Hua was kept behind.
After the initial joy, Yang Degong looked at Old Man Hua with a guilty expression and said, "I've dragged you into this. Don't worry, I'll find a way to bring you to the capital as soon as I get back."
Old Man Hua waved his hand impatiently, "Who wants to go to Kyoto? I'm not going anyway. You should hurry up and leave, really, what's with all this nagging?"
Despite some impatience, Old Man Hua was very happy. After so many years, he finally saw hope, and the light of hope could spread like wildfire.
"Hey, you old fogey, how can you be so tactless? Didn't you see that the conversation over there isn't over yet? What's the rush? Why are you urging me? Don't you have any common sense..."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Hua looked up and saw a man and a woman standing face to face not far away, talking about something.
