"There's nothing to keep secret. It's spread all over the world now, but no one knows it was me who did it." Yang Baiyi took the tea poured by Xiao Fuxing.
"I came to Japan on a cargo ship, lived in the best room, ate the best food, and was accompanied by a guide who was fluent in Japanese.
After five days of eating, drinking, and having fun, I set a fire in the sanctuary and came back."
Yang Baiyi put it simply, going to Japan is like going to the toilet.
"You kid, you only know how to fool your grandma. There are no good people in the devil's country. How can you be safe when you go deep behind enemy lines alone?"
As for her eldest grandson only reporting good news and not bad news, Mu Xue knew that it was because he was filial and did not want to make them worry.
"Grandma, everything I said is true. The organization has made very thorough arrangements this time. They have given me the identity of a young master, and my food, clothing, housing and transportation are all of the highest standards.
We also have comrades in Japan. They have been rooted in Japan for many years and have provided me with a lot of convenience.
Rather than saying I was on a mission abroad, I think it would be more appropriate to say I was on vacation.”
To be honest, although this incident caused a big commotion and dealt a devastating blow to Japan, Yang Baiyi really didn't feel any difficulty or danger involved.
"No matter what, as long as my eldest grandson can come back safely."
Xiao Qingyang thought that there were some things that Yang Baiyi was not convenient to talk about, so he stopped asking.
"The most important thing is that my eldest grandson perfectly completed the mission assigned by the organization this time, dealing an extremely heavy blow to Japan."
Xiao Qingyang witnessed the darkest moment of the Celestial Empire, and many of his comrades died at the hands of the Japanese.
Being able to make Japan pay such a heavy price, Xiao Qingyang felt happier than drinking a pound of tiger bone wine.
"Grandson, as for the things you need, your aunt and I have almost finished buying them in the past few days.
Go take a look around the courtyard tomorrow and see if you need anything, and I’ll buy it for you.”
These days, Yang Baiyi was away, but Mu Xue was not idle. She bought everything that her eldest grandson might need.
"Okay, I'll let grandma and my aunt take care of it."
Just as the family was talking, a Hongqi car drove into the agency staff housing compound and stopped in the Xiao family's yard.
Hearing the horn, Xiao Fuxing opened the door and saw Liu Hang getting out of the car.
"Dad, in white, it's Vice Governor Liu."
During this period, Liu Hang made great efforts to make friends with them. The two families often visited each other and got along very happily.
"Vice Governor Liu, please come in and sit down. My eldest grandson is back today. Let's have a good drink at noon."
Today is the weekend, and Liu Hang went directly to the family compound instead of going to the government office. Xiao Qingyang instinctively thought it was not some official business.
"Mayor Xiao, we do need to have a glass of wedding wine at noon."
Liu Hang and Yang Baiyi were friends of the same generation, so it was obviously inappropriate for Liu Hang to follow Yang Baiyi in calling him grandpa, so Liu Hang always addressed Xiao Qingyang by his official name.
"It's too early to have a wedding banquet today. My eldest grandson's wedding is over ten days away. Vice Governor Liu and his family must all come by then!"
Xiao Qingyang was stunned, thinking that Liu Hang had remembered the wrong date of Yang Baiyi's wedding and came early.
"Mayor Xiao, I certainly won't miss Brother Yang's wedding. I'll definitely come and bother you, and I can't skip today's wedding wine either."
The province received the appointment of Xiao Qingyang from the superiors. Logically, the comrades from the Organization Department should be able to come over, but Liu Hang volunteered to take on the task.
"Okay, today is a big day, a big day for the people of the whole country, so we should really celebrate."
Xiao Qingyang thought Liu Hang was talking about what happened in Japan and didn't think about himself at all.
"Fuxing, go to Qianwei Hongfuju and buy some big dishes. I'll cook some home-cooked dishes."
It's almost noon now, and Muxue is preparing to make lunch.
"Mom, just take care of Junjun. Let me cook."
After her son was able to leave his hands and feet alone, Zhou Fengying took the initiative to take over the task of cooking.
"You cook tomorrow. Let me cook today. My eldest grandson loves my cooking the most."
Yang Baiyi has been on the mission for about ten days, but Mu Xue feels like they have been separated for a long time. Today, she wants to make a delicious meal for her eldest grandson.
Xiao Fuxing took the car keys and drove out to buy groceries. This time after returning from Luoshui City, Xiao Fuxing started driving on the road.
My nephew is right. There is no rule that you have to repair the car yourself. If it breaks down on the road, you can just hand it over to the driver.
"Vice Governor Liu, let's have a cup of tea first and wait for the snacks."
"Mayor Xiao, don't worry about the tea yet. I have an appointment from the organization to announce."
Liu Hang took out the appointment letter from his briefcase, first expressed his affirmation of Xiao Qingyang's work, and finally announced the appointment of Xiao Qingyang as deputy governor.
"Old Xiao, did I hear you correctly? What achievements have you made? Why are you getting a promotion?"
After returning to Sucheng, Muxue began to process her retirement and focused on taking care of her family. She did not ask about Xiao Qingyang's work.
"It's not war time now, and we're not allowed to vigorously develop the economy. What kind of achievements can I make? I'm just relying on my eldest grandson's help."
Xiao Qingyang's mood was a bit complicated at this time. The younger generation was too outstanding. He was relieved, but as an elder, he would inevitably feel a sense of frustration.
When we were still in the Northeast, my eldest grandson kept saying that he would do nothing in the future and would just be a son of a government official, living off his parents.
But having said that, from helping them get their family out of the farm in the Northeast, to being rewarded for his meritorious service, helping him get his official position reinstated, and now helping him take a step further, how can he look like a parasite?
On the contrary, it was me who was full of ambition and agreed to it without hesitation, determined to let my eldest grandson live off me. But now I look at myself and find that I have become the one who lives off the younger one.
"Grandma and Grandpa, we as a family don't need to worry about so many things. The higher your position, the more at ease I will be as a yamen official in the future."
In front of his grandparents, Yang Baiyi still wants to be a child who never grows up.
"Grandpa doesn't dare believe a word you say now. God knows what earth-shattering things you will do in the future."
Xiao Qingyang's tone sounded so aggrieved that it made everyone laugh.
By the time Xiao Fuxing bought the vegetables, Mu Xue had already prepared several home-cooked dishes.
"Mom, I'll take Junjun to eat in the kitchen."
There are distinguished guests at home today, and Zhou Fengying is afraid that Junjun will make noise at the dinner table and affect the guests' mood.
"Don't do this. Today is to welcome your eldest nephew and to congratulate your father-in-law. It's supposed to be your family dinner.
I didn't consider myself an outsider and shamelessly enjoyed a good meal and wine.
If you and the children don't come to the table, it means you don't plan to let me come in the future."
Liu Hang is very good at dealing with people, and when he visits someone's home, he will never make the host feel uncomfortable.
"Alright, Vice Governor Liu is not a stranger, just sit down and eat with us. I'll feed Junjun."
Mu Xue picked up her grandson and placed him on her lap.
