"After so many years of glory, someone has to take care of it."
Many people looked at each other with expressions that showed they were interested in watching the fun. It seemed that this compound was going to become lively again.
"Come on, come on, come in, let's sit down and have a good chat." Wu Chengcang pulled people in.
"I have to go home first. I'll come to you later to reminisce about the past." Qin Weiguo said happily.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Qin Weiguo got on the car, and the military vehicle drove towards the former Qin family's home. Wu Chengcang carried the lunch box and quickened his pace back. He hurried to tell his wife the good news.
The car stopped outside the Qin family's small white building.
Qin Weiguo and Wang Biyun got out of the car and looked carefully at the house where they had lived for half their lives.
This small white building has a small garden behind the fence gate with lush flowers and plants swaying in the wind. The breeze brings bursts of fragrance, and everything is clean, just as it was when they left.
"Mom and Dad, what do you think of this house? It hasn't changed at all, has it?" Qin Ying looked at the house, feeling a lot of emotion.
She was born here, grew up here, her parents left here and eventually returned here.
"Nothing has changed, not at all." Wang Biyun covered her mouth, trying hard to hold back tears. "It's still exactly the same as before. This is our home."
"Of course this is our home!" Qin Weiguo said firmly, "This will always be our home!"
"Ai Min, bring me the firecrackers." Qin Weiguo turned to Su Ai Min and said, "Set them off! Set them off loudly!"
“Okay!”
Su Aimin turned around and took out the two strings of firecrackers from the car. He excitedly struck a match and lit the fuse of the firecrackers. Qin Ying and Wang Biyun could only watch helplessly.
The crackling sound suddenly shook the sky and echoed throughout the entire courtyard, scaring many people.
"What's going on? Is there any happy event in our compound?" Someone walked out the door and looked around.
"Hey, you don't know yet? The Qin family is back, it must be their family that set off the firecrackers." The neighbor next door answered. She had just come back and had seen Qin Weiguo's family before.
"Which Qin family?" The man didn't react for a moment.
"Which other Qin family could it be?" the neighbor said with a wink. "It's Chief Qin's family! They're back!"
"Oh my god, Commander Qin and the others are back?" The man's voice suddenly rose, his eyes full of excitement. "They say things change over time, it really does change."
"Now that the Qin family is back, some people probably won't be able to sleep at night."
"That's right." The man was filled with righteous indignation. "This guy, if he does bad things, he will always get retribution. Everyone in our compound back then knew that Chief Qin treated Lu Cheng like his own son. It was also thanks to that ruthless guy, he was so crazy about becoming an official that he could do anything."
"Just wait, Lu Cheng might be in trouble now."
As the sound of firecrackers spread to every corner of the compound, the news of the Qin family's triumphant return reached everyone's ears, including Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng sat in the study. It was pitch black, without a trace of light, except for the tiny dots of scarlet on his fingertips, flickering.
He took a deep puff of his cigarette, which cleared his hazy mind for a moment.
Uncle Qin had returned and resumed his position. He saw that his superiors might want to promote him even higher. Lu Cheng found it ridiculous. He had worked so hard for so many years, and now Uncle Qin was back, putting pressure on him again. What was all this for? Was it a joke?
The so-called setting things right is just like the law of conservation of force. When someone gains, someone else will lose. Uncle Qin is back, and the incident involving him back then has been brought up again. He is the instigator and naturally cannot escape responsibility. Lu Cheng has now stopped all the work at hand and is waiting for an investigation. This wait is undoubtedly a painful torture for him.
Lu Cheng couldn't understand how everything turned out like this?
He has worked so hard for so many years, is it all in vain in the end?
No, he didn't admit it! He didn't accept this outcome! He wasn't willing to accept it!
Lu Cheng firmly believed that everyone's life was fought for. In the past, he could fight for power, and now he can do it too.
Lu Cheng fiercely extinguished the cigarette in his hand and gritted his teeth. It was nothing more than lowering his profile. He could do it. As long as the parties involved did not pursue the matter, others would naturally not hold on to it.
So, the flexible Lu Cheng knocked on the Qin family's door early the next morning, carrying bags of things.
