Yang Xiaoxiao would go to see Yaya after school every day.
"My little niece, when you can walk, your aunt will take you out to play every day."
"In the summer, I will accompany you to catch dragonflies and eat popsicles. In the winter, I will take you to build snowmen and have snowball fights."
"When you grow up, you must listen to your aunt. Otherwise, if you get angry, she will spank you. Even she is afraid of herself when she gets angry."
Although the baby didn't understand anything, it didn't stop Yang Xiaoxiao from talking to her.
"Brother, you are like a sister. Now I have nephews and nieces. I miss Lele too. I wonder if Lele will miss me."
Thinking of Lele who was far away in the Northeast, the smile on the little girl's face disappeared and her eyes became a little empty.
"Let's go to Chenjiatun after the Chinese New Year to see Lele, Dahuang and the others."
Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru looked at each other and saw a hint of impulse in each other's eyes.
In Chenjiatun, they spent more than three years together and left many precious memories.
There were their mutual friends, a yard built brick by brick, their godson Lele, and the dog they had raised since childhood.
When these memories are not touched upon, they stay quietly in the heart.
When someone mentions it, it will burst out like a river bursting its dam.
Yes, Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru both missed home, their first home in the true sense.
"Really? Are we really going back to Chenjiatun?"
There were star-like glints in the little girl's two big eyes.
There are Goudan, Erya, and many other friends.
In the countryside, as long as children don’t go hungry, there are much more fun things to do than in the city.
Climbing trees to pick bird eggs, going to the river to catch fish and shrimps, going up the mountain to pick wild flowers and fruits, and going to the fields to catch grasshoppers and katydids, these fun things are hard to experience in the city.
"Of course it's true. When has my brother ever lied to you?"
After making the decision, the little girl began to count the days by her fingers. Every day when she woke up, she would look at the calendar to see how many days were left until the New Year.
At the end of the year, Yang Baiyi had a sudden inspiration and drove a jeep to the Yang family's old house.
"Brother, you're here?"
Yang Lei and Yang Jing were wearing worn cotton coats, with dirty cotton wool showing in some places.
"Why are you picking up coal cores again? Didn't I leave money and food for you?"
In the old Yang family house, Yang Laoshi was cooking in the kitchen, while Yang Lei and Yang Jing were cleaning up the coal cores they had picked up today.
"Bai Yi, there's no other way. If you don't go pick up some coal cores, you won't be able to survive this winter."
Yang Laoshi sighed.
"You left money and food last time, so I let them continue to go to school.
It’s all Yang Bingkun’s fault, that debt collector. He hurt someone when he was stealing.
I don't know where they got the news from, but they knew that our family was doing better now, so they came to our house with their three sons in a rage.
They said we have enough money to eat fine grains and fatty meat, and enough money to send our two children to school, but we have no money to compensate them for their later nutritional expenses.
They made a big fuss and took away all the things you left behind, including the money I had with me.
I also have over a hundred yuan, which I hid in the interlayer of my bedroom bed, and I didn’t dare to take it out to use.
Yang Bingkun had seriously injured the man, and his recovery was extremely slow.
I don’t know how long this kind of days will last, and Yang Laoshi feels sad inside.
"What did the court decide at that time?"
Yang Baiyi frowned.
If the injured person cannot recover in his lifetime, won’t Yang Laoshi, with his two children, never be able to get out of this situation?
"Yang Bingkun, that rebellious son, stole collective assets and intentionally injured and disabled someone. He was sentenced to fifteen years of reform through labor and was ordered to pay the injured person a lump sum of 200 yuan in compensation.
I accepted the state's verdict and paid the money at the time, but I couldn't stand the injured person's family members who kept coming to make trouble.
They took away everything in the house that could be exchanged for money, and they still worry about my pension every month."
Yang Laoshi didn't want to tell this to his eldest grandson, but he really had no other choice.
"Don't worry, let me understand the situation first."
Yang Baiyi opened the trunk and took out several days' worth of rations from it under cover.
"I won't keep any more food, or they'll take it away. I'll deal with this matter first."
Yang Baiyi started the jeep and left the Yang family's old house directly.
Lao Zhai has wronged me, but that is my own business. I cannot allow others to bully me like this.
If it was Liu Genhua and her children, Yang Baiyi felt that he would not meddle in their affairs.
But now, there is only an old man and two children left in the whole family, and the hatred in Yang Baiyi's heart has dissipated. He must give them a way to survive!
"Commander, why are you here?"
Zhang Tongxi was very excited to see Yang Baiyi. He thought that after the Zhou Ronghua incident was over, he and the leader would no longer have any contact. He didn't expect that the leader would come again so soon.
Today, Zhang Tongxi is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau. Unlike the detachment captain, Zhang Tongxi is now a serious deputy director-level cadre.
Work hard and don't try to please your leader. If your leader likes you, you won't get any guidance from noble people.
And Yang Baiyi is Zhang Tongxi's absolute benefactor. Everything Zhang Tongxi has today started with Hou San gossiping about his wife in the staff quarters.
"Captain Zhang, please help me transfer a case from last year. It's the case of Yang Bingkun stealing from a state-owned cafeteria and committing intentional injury."
Yang Baiyi came in too hastily and didn't have time to ask Yang Laoshi about the exact time when Yang Bingkun committed the crime, so Zhang Tongxi and the staff of the archives room had to work harder to find out.
"Yes, Chief, please rest in my office now. I'll do it right away."
After making arrangements for Yang Baiyi, Zhang Tongxi quickly walked out of the office and transferred all the police officers in the Criminal Investigation Department who were not out on the case to the archives room.
No matter how small the matter ordered by the leader is, it must be treated as a major case and cannot be handled with any carelessness.
A group of police officers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade rushed into the archives room and asked the colleague in charge of the management plan to retrieve all the files from last year.
One person was responsible for the case plan for ten days. Everyone looked in their own place. The fast ones looked on the table, the slow ones stood in the archives room, and the slowest ones could only squat on the floor in the corridor to look.
"The Criminal Investigation Department has dispatched so many police officers at once. What kind of shocking case has happened?"
"Don't ask around. We work at the Municipal Bureau, and we haven't heard a thing. The confidentiality level must be very high."
"Everyone, go away. Stop watching here. Knowing something you shouldn't know may not be a good thing."
Zhang Tongxi led the Criminal Investigation Department in a series of operations, and the atmosphere in the entire Municipal Bureau became tense.
"Captain, we found it."
A young policeman, holding a file in his hand, waved it towards Zhang Tongxi.
"Bring it here so I can see it."
Zhang Tongxi walked a few steps to Liu Junfei and took the file from him.
"That's it."
Yang Bingkun's name and the crimes he committed all matched. This should be the case the leader was looking for.
