When they learned that Yang Baiyi's matter was over and would not be pursued further, officials from top to bottom in Luoshui City breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially those who gave gifts to Li Shengqiang felt like they had survived a disaster.
For the same incident, the charges can be serious or minor, and the results can vary greatly. It all depends on whether the leader will hold on to it.
Yang Baiyi didn't pursue the matter, that was because he was showing mercy and didn't intend to kill him, but he still had to maintain the right attitude.
Under Ding Chunqiu's instructions, all departments took the initiative to carry out self-inspection and self-correction, and a rectification movement was launched.
For a time, everyone in all departments, from top to bottom, became cautious in their words and actions, and the official atmosphere was greatly improved.
Ordinary people who go to relevant units to do business clearly feel that the staff are more enthusiastic and their work attitude is more serious and responsible.
Yang Baiyi casually helped Yang Laoshi and at the same time cleared up the bad practices in the officialdom.
On New Year's Eve, Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru took Yang Xiaoxiao out to play and experience the New Year atmosphere in Luoshui City.
They played until sunset, and the three of them returned home satisfied in the afterglow of the sunset.
Yang Baiyi, who was driving, saw from a distance that at the gate of the military compound, an old man was moving his limbs and walking back and forth.
"Why are you here? How long have you been here?"
Yang Baiyi stopped the car and got out.
"I haven't been here long. It's Chinese New Year now! I came to give Xiaoxiao some New Year's money.
The comrades on guard said, "You drove out early in the morning, so I'll wait here for a while."
Yang Laoshi took out two red envelopes from his pocket. Maybe the weather was too cold, which froze Yang Laoshi's face and made his smile a little stiff.
"Just take care of yourself, Yang Lei, and Yang Jing. I'll take good care of Xiao Xiao."
Looking at the red envelope in Yang Laoshi's hand, Yang Baiyi's expression softened.
This is the first time I have seen money coming back from the old house since the separation.
"This is New Year's money, for you and Xiaoxiao. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation.
The Zheng family returned all the money and things, and I can receive a pension every month. Now our family has no shortage of money.
Yang Lei and Yang Jing have also returned to school. After you helped me with the treatment, my health has been getting better day by day, and I finally have hope for the future.
Don't worry about your family. I will definitely raise Yang Lei and Yang Jing well. When they grow up, you brothers and sisters can help each other."
While talking about the changes at home, Yang Laoshi carefully watched Yang Baiyi's expression, fearing that Yang Baiyi would be impatient.
"Xiaoxiao, come down for a moment. Grandpa is here to give you some New Year's money."
Yang Baiyi pondered for a moment, then turned around and opened the door of the jeep.
Liu Genhua and her children were either killed or sent to labor camps. One of them even died in the mouth of a carnivorous plant that she had planted herself.
When a person dies, all debts are settled. When a person is gone, even the biggest grudges will disappear into thin air.
It was such a cold day, but Yang Laoshi endured the cold and waited for him here just to give him and his sister New Year's money. He couldn't say how touched he was, but he was willing to accept this kindness.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Happy New Year!"
The little girl first wished Yang Laoshi a happy new year before she reached out to take the red envelope.
"Happy New Year, Xiaoxiao. I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown into a big girl now. Baiyi, this is yours!"
This was the first time Yang Laoshi saw Yang Xiaoxiao after Yang Baiyi took her to the countryside.
"Forget it. I'm already 20 years old and past the age of asking for lucky money."
In fact, last year, Yang Baiyi also accepted the New Year's money from his grandparents. The reason why he didn't want the New Year's money from Yang Laoshi was that he was not close enough to him in his heart.
"You are still children before you get married. I won't give it to you after you get married. Take it quickly. It's not a lot of money, but it's my token of my love and blessing."
Yang Laoshi stuffed the red envelope into Yang Baiyi's hand. Seeing that Yang Baiyi did not resist much, the smile on Yang Laoshi's face became even brighter.
"Okay, it's really cold outside. You guys should go home quickly. I have to go back too. Yang Lei and Yang Jing are still waiting for me to go back home for dinner."
Yang Laoshi was tactful enough not to stay any longer, nor did he invite Yang Baiyi and his sister to go home for a reunion dinner.
Although he didn't know whether he could get his money back or whether anyone would bother him again in the future, it was all thanks to Yang Baiyi.
But he knew that his eldest grandson was a capable man who had already reached heights that he would never be able to reach in his lifetime. Inviting them home for dinner would most likely result in boredom.
Yang Laoshi is very pragmatic. He would be happy if the relationship could be eased, but he would also keep a certain distance so that his eldest grandson would not feel that he is a trouble.
"Okay, the road is slippery, go slower."
"Hey! Okay, go in now!"
The eldest grandson is the same as the eldest son, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He seems to care about me!
Yang Laoshi sold his broken 28-inch bicycle for money. As he was old and his grandchildren were still young, he did not buy another bicycle.
Waving to Yang Baiyi and his sister, Yang Laoshi strode forward.
…
After spending the New Year at the Lin family, I was thinking about Yang Baiyi and the other two from Chenjiatun, and I couldn't stay in Luoshui City any longer.
A telegram was sent to Chenjiatun first. Hu Zi said that when he returned to the Northeast, he would go to the station to pick them up. Yang Baiyi did not forget this agreement.
I simply packed a few sets of clothes, prepared a dozen lunch boxes of food, and boarded the train to the Northeast.
Yang Baiyi showed his military officer ID, booked a soft sleeper compartment, and set off for the Northeast under the flying snow.
Three days later, the train stopped in Hailin County. As soon as I got off the train, a biting cold wind blew towards me. After all, the Northeast is colder than Luoshui City.
The three of them have lived in Northeast China for several years and are very familiar with the temperature there, so they have made sufficient preparations to keep warm.
Down jackets are now available in China, but it is difficult for ordinary people to buy them. However, this is not a problem for Yang Baiyi.
There are many different kinds of down jackets in Yang Baiyi's space. He only needs to cut off the brand logos and then take them out for his family to wear.
Without any delay in Hailin County, the three of them did not leave the station and directly bought train tickets to Qingshan Town.
At noon, Yang Baiyi brought Lin Wanru and Yang Xiaoxiao out of the town’s train station, and the familiar ox cart was indeed waiting there early.
"Doctor Yang, Lin Zhiqing, Xiaoxiao, I finally waited for you."
Hu Zi, wearing a sheepskin coat and a dog-skin hat, jumped off the pole of the ox cart and ran towards Yang Baiyi.
"Huzi, long time no see!"
Yang Baiyi was actually a little excited to see an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Doctor Yang, Lin Zhiqing, please get in the car quickly! Everyone in the village has been waiting for your arrival since we heard you were coming back!"
Hu Zi took the luggage and put it on the ox cart, waiting for Yang Baiyi and the other two to get on.
