As Li Mancang was talking, he walked forward in a hurry. Because he was walking too fast, he stumbled forward and almost fell.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo and Li Xin rushed over and supported him.
"Uncle, I'm back now. Why are you in such a hurry? What if you fall again?"
"I'm fine. I just saw you get excited. Do you know everything that's going on in the village?"
"Okay, I see. I took the train back home the very same night I received the letter! You should have called me earlier. Otherwise, why would you have been so anxious and irritated for several days?"
"I'm afraid of causing you trouble, aren't I?"
"What are you talking about? After my parents passed away, I grew up eating at many people's homes. How can I ignore the problems in the village? Besides, what's the big deal? With me here, I don't think anyone dares to act like a bully in our village! As long as we are right, we don't have to be afraid of anyone!"
"Okay, okay! As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything!"
"That's right..."
Next, Xu Jianguo and Li Mancang sat directly on the small stools in the yard and listened carefully to them recount the whole story from beginning to end.
After confirming that neither Tang Guowei nor the people from the Forestry Bureau of the Administrative Office had offered a compensation plan for occupying the village land, Xu Jianguo made up his mind.
After checking the time, Xu Jianguo said goodbye, saying that he had to rush back to the county to ask Tang Guowei for an explanation.
When Li Mancang heard this, he became anxious and didn't care about letting Xu Jianguo have breakfast at home. He wanted Li Xin to go to the village to call people and go to the county with Xu Jianguo.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo hurriedly stopped the father and son, and told them not to go anywhere, just wait in the village and do what they needed to do.
Seeing that Li Mancang was still worried, Xu Jianguo had to tell him that he had brought back a platoon of guards from the administrative office.
When the father and son heard that the soldiers were all coming with guns, their originally uneasy hearts felt a little relieved.
So, after Xu Jianguo said goodbye to Li Mancang and his son, he walked out of the village.
On the way, he met some villagers who got up early to check on the crops in the fields. He greeted them warmly.
Soon, the news of Xu Jianguo's return to the village spread throughout the village.
Li Erniu, Li Dashan and others who got the news went directly to Li Mancang's house. When they learned that Xu Jianguo had returned with a whole platoon of fully armed guards, everyone felt proud.
When this incident happened, the village was about to have its autumn harvest. The combination of these two events made all the villagers in Sandaliang Village feel particularly depressed. The joy and lively atmosphere in the village during the autumn harvest in previous years were also wiped out because of this incident.
…
Xu Jianguo walked out of the village, stopping and starting all the way, until he turned around a large bluestone at the entrance of the village, then he slipped into the space.
Then he used the space portal to return to the alley outside the old house of Wen Sitian's uncle in Fu'an County.
Because it was still relatively early, there were not many people in the alley.
Xu Jianguo stood there, looked around, then pushed open the gate and walked in.
At this time, Huang Tao had already brought people to buy breakfast. When Xu Jianguo entered the door, the soldiers of the guard platoon were eating breakfast.
The tents and camp beds set up last night have been taken away by the soldiers, neatly placed against the courtyard wall, and covered with canvas again.
"Chief!" When everyone saw Xu Jianguo coming back, they stood up and greeted him.
Xu Jianguo smiled and nodded, walked to Huang Tao and took the breakfast he handed to him.
Two big meat buns and two boiled eggs.
Xu Jianguo didn't hesitate and just squatted there and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Seeing him like this, the soldiers relaxed their originally nervous mood and continued to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, Xu Jianguo looked at the watch on his wrist, said something to Huang Tao, and left the yard again.
He wanted to go to the local armed forces department in Fu'an County, borrow the phone there, and contact the person that Mr. Zhou had introduced to him before.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, Xu Jianguo arrived at the gate of the Armed Forces Department. After showing his ID, the sentry at the gate led him into the Armed Forces Department's office building with trepidation.
Because it was not yet the official working hours, there were not many people in the building, only some staff on duty.
After explaining his purpose to someone at random, Xu Jianguo was led to an office with a telephone.
He didn't rush to make a phone call, but just sat in the chair and waited quietly.
It was not until the hands on the watch pointed to eight o'clock that Xu Jianguo picked up the phone, turned the handle and dialed.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, comrade. My name is Xu Jianguo, and I'm looking for Zhong Weimin!"
"What do you want?"
"You have no right to know. You just need to tell him my name. Oh, and I'm from Jingzhou!"
The man who answered the phone hesitated for a moment and then said, "Please wait!"
After waiting for about ten seconds, a strong voice came from the receiver: "I am Zhong Weimin, and you are Colonel Xu Jianguo?"
"Hello, leader, I'm Xu Jianguo!"
"Hahaha, why call me leader? I'm probably about the same age as your parents. You can call me uncle or grandpa!"
Xu Jianguo curled his lips and thought to himself that he couldn't even count how many uncles there were now.
