Coming out of the photo studio, Feng Juan said, "Yun Qiao, tomorrow you and your brother should go to your Uncle Ye's place and help them move."
Yun Qiao nodded: "Okay."
Early the next morning, Qin Zheng applied to borrow an old food delivery truck from the logistics department. He took Yun Qiao and He Tingjun, along with some gifts, and drove all the way to Sanhe Camp.
The reason why Feng Juan didn't go was that she was worried that the situation would be awkward. After all, one was the breadwinner and the other was the in-law. In such a delicate relationship, getting too close would inevitably make both of them feel uncomfortable.
He Tingjun was just there to help with the moving.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Ye Yuanzhang's house.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Yun Qiao saw Ye Yuanzhang packing things in the yard. Li Baiqiu also packed up a lot of pots and pans, which were all placed in the yard.
"Uncle, aunt, we are here to help."
The three of them helped to pack Ye Yuanzhang's things and move them onto the old truck at the entrance of the village. It took them seven or eight trips to finally load all the small items onto the truck.
Ye Yuanzhang had been sent down to Sanhe Camp, and all his belongings were acquired after arriving in the Great Northern Wilderness. He couldn't bear to leave anything behind, from large boxes and cabinets to iron pots and pans and even a pair of chopsticks, a spoon, and a grain of rice. Even so, the Ye family's entire possessions only took up a small space in the back of the truck, less than a third of the space.
After moving all the belongings, Ye Yuanzhang closed the door, locked it, took out the key and put it in his pocket.
"Wait for me in the car for a moment. I'll return the keys to the village chief."
"I'll go with you." He Tingjun wrapped a cigarette inside his military coat and jumped out of the passenger seat of the car.
Ye Yuanzhang and He Tingjun walked towards the center of the village, the snow on the road making a crunching sound under their feet.
Arriving at the village chief's house, Ye Yuanzhang handed the house key to the village chief and thanked him.
He Tingjun took the opportunity to stuff the cigarette in his arms to the village chief, as a thank you for taking care of Ye Yuanzhang in the past few days, and also as a gesture of goodwill.
After all, Ye Yuanzhang was a pro-democracy figure. When he was rehabilitated in the future, the organization might send someone to question him about his performance during the labor reform in Sanhe Camp.
Ye Yuanzhang himself has no problems, so He Tingjun doesn't need the village chief to say anything good. As long as he gives an objective evaluation and stops doing bad things in secret, that will be fine.
After leaving the village chief's house, Ye Yuanzhang and He Tingjun walked all the way to the village entrance.
Ye Yuanzhang said sincerely, "Tingjun, thank you for taking care of me. When I save some money, I will pay you back."
"Uncle, we have such a close relationship, it's awkward for you to tell me this."
He Tingjun changed the way he addressed Ye Yuanzhang, lowering his generation and following Yun Qiao in calling him "uncle". Ye Yuanzhang immediately understood what he meant.
"Tingjun, you are so thoughtful." Ye Yuanzhang patted He Tingjun's shoulder, a touch of emotion flashing in his eyes.
Not to mention being a niece's son-in-law, even a biological son-in-law would find it difficult to achieve this status.
At the entrance of the village, the two walked beside the truck and saw Yun Qiao leaning against the door in a daze.
"Yun Qiao, what are you thinking about?" Ye Yuanzhang walked up to her and patted her head gently.
Yun Qiao came to his senses and smiled, "Nothing, it's just that seeing you finally leave here feels like a dream."
Ye Yuanzhang also said: "Who says it's not true? In the past, I didn't dare to think that I could leave here one day."
"Good deeds are rewarded!" Li Baiqiu sighed. "You saved Director Fang from freezing to death on the roadside in the heavy snow, and this inadvertently changed our fate."
"Yes!" Ye Yuanzhang was also deeply moved. "When we saved people, we didn't think so much. This is what they call doing good things and not worrying about the future. God will never let down any good person!"
