"There was also a small box I took down. Grandpa took a look inside and said he would get someone to come over. I don't know anything else."
Gao Yuan waved his hand, and several soldiers worked together to move the boxes down. Seeing that the locks on each box had been broken, Gao Yuan looked at Chen Ye with a somewhat amusing look.
Chen Ye looked away feeling a little guilty.
When she saw these boxes, she thought of Zhang Wei's cellar and wondered if she could take advantage of the situation to get some benefits. It was a bad idea, but fortunately, before she could do anything, she was awakened by her grandfather's voice.
She didn't take anything, so what was she afraid of? Thinking of this, she suddenly felt more confident: "You can open it and see if there's anything missing."
Fortunately, each of the boxes above was full, and if there was even a little missing, it could be easily seen. Chen Ye was sweating for herself. It would be so unfair for her if she was suspected even though she had done a good thing.
Gao Yuan signaled his men to open the box to prove that Chen Ye had not touched the things inside. Once the things were taken away, some things would be difficult to say.
When the boxes were opened, everyone who saw it knew that the little girl was just curious and the things inside had definitely not been touched. Gao Yuan waved his hand, and the well-trained soldiers carried the boxes silently out of the yard.
Chen Ye glanced at the boxes being carried away, feeling a little regretful that he hadn't earned any extra money this time. "Is this house temporarily unusable?"
Gao Yuan shook his head: "It's okay, this place has been checked. This time it was an accident. Even if there is something wrong in the future, you will tell me."
Chen Ye grinned and said, "Okay, if I find anything else, I'll contact you."
Gao Yuan knocked Chen Ye's head with amusement and said, "You are really brave. Don't worry, Brother Gao will apply for a generous bonus for you. Your discovery this time will be of great help to us."
"Behave yourself for the time being and don't wander around. Everything will be fine once this storm is over."
Chen Ye raised his hand and rubbed his head, saying, "I know. I behave myself every day. I stay at home and at work, and I don't wander around."
"Okay, then I'll go back. Call me if you have anything. If you see Gao Fei, tell him not to look for me recently."
"Oh, I see."
Chen Ye never asked what was recorded in the small box, but the atmosphere in the provincial capital began to become tense. Chen Ye never stayed outside when going to and from get off work every day, for fear of being accidentally involved in other things.
After get off work, Chen Ye walked around the noisy crowd in front. There had been a lot of such incidents recently. She might see people being arrested anywhere. She guessed that it might be related to the box of notebooks.
When she arrived at her front door, she stopped her bike, opened the door and walked in: "Grandpa and grandma, I'm back."
"Oh, our Dabao is back. He must be hot. Come and take a shower and have some popsicles."
After Chen Ye parked his bicycle, he turned around and saw the man sitting under the grape trellis. Chen Ye became motionless in an instant, just like a chicken with its neck stuck.
No, when did her cheap dad arrive? Didn't he say it would take a few days?
Cen Boxu looked at his daughter with amusement. She had suddenly changed from a loud-voiced girl to a shy young woman. "Ye Zi is back. Come over and cool down."
Chen Ye curled his lips and said, "You're here?" He couldn't bring himself to call out "Dad."
Cen Boxu nodded: "I just got here today, so hurry up and take a shower and have some rest."
Mr. Cen only complains about his own son, but you can't be more aggressive. With the way you are, when will my granddaughter be able to call you dad?
Xiao Wang came over from the nearby yard carrying a basket: "Xiao Ye Zi is back?"
"Brother Wang went to pick vegetables." Chen Ye made small talk, trying to avoid the current embarrassment.
"Yes, Ye Zi, go wash your hands quickly. I just drew water from the well."
When Xiao Wang received the notice that he could return to his old leader, he was so happy that he burst into tears again. The guy didn't even bring his luggage and rushed over in a hurry. If it wasn't summer, Xiao Wang might not even have a change of clothes.
However, after Xiao Wang came here, he lived in the yard on the other side. After all, there was a grown-up girl, Chen Ye, here, and it was inconvenient for a grown-up boy to live there.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
"What are you thanking me for? It's just a simple thing. You wash it and I'll help with the vegetables."
There is another good thing about Xiao Wang coming here. Xiao Wang's cooking skills are better than his grandmother's. At least the food can be improved. However, it is still far behind Shuanzhu and Ershuang.
Chen Ye was quite satisfied. She wanted to cook by herself, but her grandmother never gave her the chance. Every time she arrived home, the food was already prepared. She now lived a life of having nothing to eat or drink.
After this interruption, Chen Ye no longer felt awkward and she thought it through. After all, she might not see her adoptive father once a year, so she just had to let things take their course.
"Grandpa, do you want me to go to the state-owned restaurant? According to the calendar, Chef Jin should be able to make pork elbow today. I'd like to see if I can find a bargain."
Old Master Cen laughed heartily: "Girl, you took advantage of me last time, and you're still thinking of taking advantage of me again?"
When the weather was cool, Chen Ye would never miss any of Master Jin's pork elbows. When she didn't have time, she would bribe Master Jin to leave some for her. When the weather was hot, the elderly couldn't eat greasy food, so she didn't ask Master Jin for help.
"Hey, just tell me if you want to eat or not."
The old man smacked his lips and said, "I want to eat it. We've all been vegetarians lately, and it's been a while since we've eaten meat."
The weather is too hot, and even if I have meat coupons, the meat cannot be kept. It is still unsafe outside recently, so I have never thought about going out to buy meat.
"You can go and have a look, but I don't think there will be any left. See if there are any other meats or vegetables you can buy. We can improve our lives a little bit."
"Your grandma is still thinking about making trouble, so she started to attack the chickens at home."
"Don't do that. The chicken finally started laying eggs. It would be a waste to eat the meat now."
Those chicks were the ones she exchanged for in the village after her grandparents came over. They were already half-grown when she exchanged them, otherwise they would not have been able to lay eggs so quickly. Buying eggs here is not as convenient as in the village, and the whole family depends on those chickens for eggs.
"That's what I mean. The duck has started laying eggs. Ask your grandma to pickle them for you. We can eat salted duck eggs then."
"Grandpa, let me go to Master Jin first and see if I can get some snacks to go with the wine. You can have a drink tonight."
The old man had no other hobbies except to have a few drinks. It was a pity that when he came here, his wife and granddaughter were watching him, but he didn't get to drink a single sip of wine.
