This is a good thing. Since the two of them have taken off their hats, Ye Chenming and his sister will naturally also lose their hats, which will be of great benefit to Mushroom Village in the future when it comes to being recognized as an advanced village.
Village Chief Ma happily went to town and bought a lot of pastries and snacks that he usually couldn't afford. He spent all his money and coupons before returning home. He asked his wife to give some of the pastries to the two women in the cowshed.
When Village Chief Ma arrived, Ye Huixian was cleaning the cowshed, Fu Qingping was cooking in the kitchen, and Ye Chenming and Ye Chen'er had gone to work.
Fu Qingping was grateful to Village Chief Ma. Countless bad elements sent down to the countryside never returned, but he, his daughter Ye Huixian, and the siblings Chenming and his sister were all safe and sound. If the Yan family deserved credit, then Village Chief Ma deserved it as well.
Without the Yan family's overt and covert protection, and without Village Chief Ma's help, his life would definitely not be easy. Fu Qingping accepted the pastries handed over by Village Chief Ma and warmly invited him to stay for lunch.
Although she suffered a little hardship after coming here, she also gained a lot, such as a skillful apprentice and an upright and kind grandson-in-law. As for her granddaughter-in-law, Fu Qingping said that she would not accept anyone but Yan Xiaonan.
Ye Huixian and Ye Chen'er wholeheartedly agreed with Fu Qingping's decision. Ye Chenming was overjoyed and secretly told Yan Xiaonan the news. He thought Nannan would be very happy, but Nannan turned her head and said, "If you don't achieve anything in the future, I won't marry you."
Ye Chenming felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and his mind instantly cleared. Yes, if he didn't have any outstanding achievements, how could he be worthy of such a good girl? How could he have the face to marry Nan Nan? He made up his mind to become stronger.
The documents have been issued, and Grandma and Aunt have been cleared of the "bad elements" label. Now Chen'er and I can stand openly in the sunlight, no longer needing to sneak around with our good friends.
Village Chief Ma also suggested that the brother and sister move out of the cowshed and return to the educated youth settlement. Ye Chenming did not want to leave the cowshed. It was quiet here, unlike the educated youth settlement, where there were many people and many things to do, and he could not even concentrate on reading.
As for Aunt and Grandma, someone should come to pick them up in a while. As for who it will be, Village Chief Ma said he didn't know. Ye Chenming guessed it would be his father and uncle. That's good. Let Grandma and Aunt go back first. The conditions here are really too simple.
Things were moving in a positive direction, and Ye Chenming began to focus on his studies. He kept Nan Nan's words in mind: he wanted to go to university, do research, make a name for himself, and marry Yan Xiaonan in a grand and spectacular way.
At the end of August, a Hongqi sedan drove into the village committee of Mushroom Village. Three people got out of the car: an old man with a full head of white hair leading the way, followed by a middle-aged man and the driver.
Village Chief Ma had already received the notification and, along with the Party Secretary and others, waited at the village committee entrance early in the morning to welcome them. The notification clearly stated that the visitors were coming from Beijing to take Fu Qingping and Ye Huixian back.
Ma Chunhua knocked on the door early in the morning. Yan Xiaonan received the news and her heart skipped a beat. She thought that the people who came must be Ye Chenming's grandfather and father. Liu Jin and Wu Jinban hurriedly ran out. They wanted to find out the latest news and come back to tell their grandparents and aunt.
The people who came were indeed Ye Chenming's grandfather, Ye Ren, and a person in charge. When Ye Ren was taken away, he was kidnapped by a mysterious person on the way. The mysterious person who kidnapped Ye Ren was the same person that Ye Ren had saved back then.
That man was a capable elite who was tricked by his opponent during a trial voyage. He was badly injured and thrown into the raging river, almost becoming fish food. He was rescued by Ye Ren. When he learned that Ye Ren was the helmsman of a shipbuilding family, he wanted to befriend him.
As he was in charge of coastal defense, he needed professionals to develop advanced navigation technology, and Ye Ren was the best candidate. He sent his trusted confidants to secretly protect Ye Ren, and when Ye Ren was in trouble, they acted decisively and took away their savior.
For a full ten years, Ye Ren and a group of scientists conducted research in a secret laboratory. They were on the side of justice, determined to contribute to the future prosperity of their motherland.
Now that the time has come, they will all go to various parts of the country to bring their relatives home. They want to tell their families that they are not only alive and well, but have also made great contributions to the country.
Hearing the knocking at the door, Ye Huixian quickly opened it. Wu Jin and Liu Jin ran into the cowshed. Ye Huixian liked the two children very much and quickly offered them something to eat. Liu Jin shook his head and said, "Grandma Ye, two people went to the village committee in a car. My aunt said it might be your father and brother."
With a crash, the teacup in Fu Qingping's hand fell to the ground, spilling all the sugar water inside. But at this moment, no one cared about these things. Ye Huixian quickly helped his mother out of the cowshed.
In the distance, several figures approached. Upon seeing the mother and daughter at the door, an old man quickened his pace. Ye Huixian cried out in a heavy voice, "Mom, Dad's here! Dad's here!"
Fu Qingping's tears fell like pearls from a broken string. The fear and worry in her heart finally came to an end. She swayed and collapsed into Ye Ren's arms as he rushed up to her.
Ye Ren firmly supported his wife, brushed aside her disheveled hair, and looked at Fu Qingping gently, saying, "Qingping, I feel so guilty for all the hardships you've endured these past years. For the rest of my life, I will make it up to you and cherish you. Come on, let's go home together."
Fu Qingping tried to suppress his excitement and reached out to touch Ye Ren's white hair: "Old Ye, you've gotten old too. You've suffered all these years, haven't you? Let's spend the rest of our lives together. Come on, let's go home together."
Watching the two elderly people walk away, Ye Huixian broke down: "Dad, Mom, how could you leave me like this?"
Ye Chenming walked up, took his aunt's hand and said, "I told you to find a husband who shares your interests, but you didn't. Look at you, all alone now."
Village Chief Ma and the Party Secretary were both stunned: "Mr. Ye, you're just leaving like this? Don't you want anything inside? Please stay and have a meal."
Ye Ren clasped his hands in thanks to Village Chief Ma: "Thank you, Party Secretary and Village Chief. I'd like to go to the Yan family to express my gratitude. Could you please lead the way?"
Upon hearing that he was going to the Yan family, Fu Qingping was overjoyed, wiping away his tears and saying, "Old Ye..."
She was about to speak when she shut her mouth. Her husband must know that she knew the Yan family, but he still asked Village Chief Ma to lead the way. That meant he had been indebted to Village Chief Ma for so many years, and she couldn't be ungrateful.
