"Him? Don't worry about that. I remember he and you have a life-long friendship. But we can't just ask for help for nothing. You should thank him appropriately."
Boss Cen spoke calmly. The brothers had a close relationship and shared many things with each other. Although he knew that his younger brother was good at dealing with people, he still reminded him out of habit.
"Well, Lao Qi's eldest son joined the army last year, and I happen to be familiar with his direct superior. I just need to say hello later."
His greeting did not mean to gain benefits through the back door, but simply meant that someone was protecting him so that at least his meritorious service would not be easily taken away by others.
Don't think that there is no human feelings in the army. It is difficult for soldiers without a backer to move up. With the support of their family, that guy will have a good future as long as he works hard.
Of course, he also has his own selfish motives. This way, Lao Qi will have to devote all his energy to helping him take care of his daughter. He doesn't need anything else, as long as she is not bullied. As for the rest, he, as a father, is here, and he won't see who dares to make trouble.
While the two brothers were talking, their second aunt also put down the phone. From the expression on her face, it was clear that things went smoothly. The two brothers also stopped talking and looked at their brother's wife (second sister-in-law).
"Okay, although they say houses can't be bought and sold now, they can be donated. In other words, they do have quite a few houses, but most of them are rented out. Not many people actually buy them."
Houses will always be a luxury. Although houses are cheap now, for a worker whose family lives on a salary of just a few dozen yuan, it will take more than ten years or even decades to save for one.
"Then let Xiao Si take Ye Zi over to have a look. If there's anything we like, we'll find someone to buy it directly. How can living in someone else's house be as comfortable as living in your own?"
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Second Sister-in-law. I'll pay for it when the time comes."
Second aunt was not polite either. She always treated her brother-in-law as her own brother: "Then you will definitely pay for it. Where will the child get so much money? We will pay for the furniture and other things when the time comes."
My eldest aunt was not far behind. Although she was not talkative, she was also very good-tempered. "I'll take care of the bedding and clothes. The children can't be dressed too poorly when they go out to work."
It was as if the two sisters-in-law had never bought clothes and shoes before. The two women were extremely generous to the only girl in the family, just like dressing up a rag doll. They wanted to buy anything suitable for a little girl for their niece.
The two sisters-in-law gathered together and whispered to each other, and they also pulled the old lady over to come over: "Mom, come quickly, the three of us will discuss what to buy for Ye Zi."
The men of the Cen family all laughed when they saw the three women like this. The only thing about their Cen family is that the brothers and sisters-in-law are in harmony with each other. The boys in the family are as united as brothers with the same parents, and there has never been any messy things like in other families.
…
After hanging up the phone, Cen Zixiang smacked his lips. In his family, girls are still favored. It would be great if he were a girl. However, he is not jealous of his younger sister at all. He wants to follow the example of his family and treat his younger sister well.
Sister, the sister I longed for in my previous life. Although my little sister is not as soft as I imagined, it is still better to be strong in this era.
It was getting dark and it was time for them to go back. Da Shuang and Feng Meilan came over to see them off to the station. As usual, there were many people taking the train. It was unclear whether taking the train or the car was more comfortable.
It was almost midnight when they arrived at the county town. They did not rush back to the village. After all, walking at night was not very safe. They simply went to Ershuang's house to spend the night.
It was a bit crowded, but the weather was cool enough that it didn't matter. Chen Ye wouldn't squeeze in. After all, she was the only woman, so she had a room to herself and slept quite well.
They were not in a hurry to go back after getting up early in the morning. They had come out with great difficulty, so they had to buy some things to take back. After all, there were many of them and several of them could not leave the village easily, so they needed even more things.
Cen Zixiang rode a tricycle, carrying the things he bought from Lao Hei, covered with a worn sack. The rest of the people followed the tricycle, chatting and laughing.
A man who was dressed no differently from anyone on the street walked past a few people. Chen Ye paused for a moment and subconsciously turned back to take a casual look.
Gao Fei was a very perceptive person, but he didn't ask anything. He walked a long way away before lowering his voice and asking, "Ye Zi, what did you just discover?"
Chen Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise. No wonder Fourth Brother said this guy was born to be a soldier. "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Gao Fei didn't ask any further questions. Since Ye Zi said so, it meant that this topic was not suitable to be discussed in public. He quickly changed the subject and talked about something else. Chen Ye fell into deep thought.
After entering Ershuang's house, Gao Fei closed the door and looked around before approaching Chen Ye: "Can you talk now?"
Chen Ye nodded. Everyone in the room was family and none of them had a loose tongue.
"I suspect something is going to happen here," she said, still confident in her ability to judge people.
Gao Fei recalled the people who had walked past them when Ye Zi paused. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find anyone suspicious. "Tell me in detail."
"Do you remember the person who walked past us when I paused?"
Gao Fei nodded: "I remember, there were three people in total. One of them was an older woman carrying a basket. I saw it was full of vegetables. This person is definitely not the one you are talking about?"
Gao Fei saw Chen Ye nod and continued, "There's another young man, but he's wearing work clothes. He should be a worker at the lumber mill. He's in a hurry to get to work, so he can't be that guy, right?"
Chen Ye continued to nod.
"Then there's only one person left who's worthy of suspicion. The man with messy hair and walking with his head down?"
"Yes, that's him."
"But I didn't find that person any different from the others, and he didn't have that dangerous aura."
"You're right. If I hadn't seen him before, I wouldn't have doubted him. Although his face has changed, his figure, his habitual little movements, his walking posture, and that unique feeling about him, I feel that I am not mistaken."
Speaking of dangerous people he has seen, Mr. Chen Shengli probably knows more. Ye Zi is a person who doesn't like to go out much, and the old man knows all about the dangers he encountered on the only two times he went on long trips.
"Could it be something that happened four years ago?"
Chen Ye nodded: "Yes, little grandpa, do you still remember the haunted house I encountered when I went to sever ties with my family four years ago?"
