“Aunt, it’s not a big deal and it doesn’t cost much.
When retaking Annan, the Annan military did not form any effective resistance at all. The Suzaku Legion crushed the enemy without bloodshed, and Annan's infrastructure was basically undamaged.
The airport is ready, the plane is ready, it’s just a matter of changing the route.
Just stop one route to foreign countries and add one to Jinling."
Yang Baiyi said it casually. As the King of Zhennan, he could still do this.
Some routes originally existed because of Annan’s diplomatic relations. Now that Annan has lost its sovereignty, those useless diplomatic relations can be terminated.
Firstly, you don’t have to engage in meaningless social activities, and secondly, it can reassure the Chinese authorities.
"Really? That's great! I haven't been to Annan yet. When Fengying's school is on vacation, let's go to Annan together."
Zhou Fengying is a career-oriented woman, while Mu Xue’s personality is more like Lin Wanru.
She believes that no matter how successful her son is, it is secondary. It is best for the family to be together, or at least to see each other often.
When Mu Xue heard her eldest grandson say that a direct flight to Jinling could be opened without spending any money, she was extremely happy. At least she could go and see her son when she missed him.
"Fuxing, do your best over there. If you're undecided, you can send a telegram back."
Annan has just been recovered, and calls from home cannot be made directly there. The communications troops are now setting up telephone lines, and it will probably take some time before they can be put into use.
"I know, Dad. You and Mom should take care of yourselves and don't work too hard."
As they were about to part, Xiao Fuxing's eyes were slightly red. To be honest, this was his first time traveling far away alone. Even when he was sent to the countryside, he had never been separated from his family.
"A good man has ambitions, and a young eagle must learn to fly alone when it grows up.
This is your first time working alone. Starting from a high point brings both pressure and motivation.
Be cautious in everything and plan carefully before taking action, but don't be timid or indecisive. Come on!"
Before his son left, Xiao Qingyang wanted to pass on all his skills to him, but being in politics requires understanding and talent. Xiao Qingyang could only share some of his own experiences. How much he could understand still depended on Xiao Fuxing himself.
"Deputy Governor, it's almost time."
Lu Kai looked at his watch.
On the way back, Lu Kai parked his car in Lang Province and took a sleeper bus back.
This time when they returned to Annan, they still had to take the train to Lang Province first.
"Dad, Mom, Fengying, Junjun, I'm leaving. Please take care of yourselves."
"Nephew, please take care of the house for me. I'll be waiting for you in Annan."
Xiao Fuxing took a deep look at his beloved family, then turned and got into the car.
After the car drove away, Mu Xue leaned on Xiao Qingyang's shoulder and cried like rain.
Zhou Fengying hugged Junjun in her arms, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks. It turned out that she was not as strong and free and easy as she had imagined.
"Well, my son is going to work, not to the front line to fight. This is a rare opportunity, we should be happy."
Xiao Qingyang quickly supported Mu Xue to prevent her from collapsing to the ground.
Looking at his grandmother crying, Yang Baiyi's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let his uncle go to Annan to work.
At least it is cruel to my grandmother now.
The next day, Yang Baiyi applied to the Military Commission to upgrade the military ranks of Lu Kai and others. The old family heads approved it immediately without any hesitation.
Yang Baiyi made another phone call to the capital, requesting the transfer of several young cadres to Annan, as a way for Yang Baiyi to repay a favor.
As for how to arrange it, let the old patriarchs take charge of it!
In the next few days, Muxue was in a bad mood and always stared blankly while holding Dabao or Erbao.
Every day when Xiao Qingyang came home from get off work, Mu Xue's first question would always be whether there was any telegram from Annan.
It was not until a week later that Xiao Fuxing sent a telegram to report that he was safe. Only then did Mu Xue feel relieved and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
Half a month later, Annan stopped a flight to and from Moscow and switched it to a direct flight to Nanjing.
"Grandma, it's summer vacation now. Xiaoxiao doesn't have to go to school and Auntie doesn't have to go to work. Why don't we go to Annan to visit Uncle?"
Yang Baiyi knew that grandma would never feel at ease unless she saw it with her own eyes.
“Your uncle just went to Annan, and he must have a lot of work to do, so I’d better not bother him.
Besides, your grandfather is going to Nanjing to take up his post in the next two days, so he definitely can't leave. I have to take care of his daily life, and I'm worried about leaving him alone in Nanjing.
If that doesn't work, let Fengying take Junjun with her so the three of them can be reunited."
Mu Xue glanced at Xiao Qingyang and forced herself to suppress her longing and concern for her son deep in her heart.
"If you're worried, just go over and take a look. I'm a grown-up, what do you have to worry about?
The provincial government has a cafeteria, so how could I go hungry? Xia Dong will also go with me to the provincial capital to take up my post, so you don’t have to worry about my food and daily life.
Having lived together for half a lifetime, Xiao Qingyang knows his partner very well and regards family as particularly important.
"Grandpa, Secretary Xia has been with you for quite a while, right? Hasn't he ever considered being demoted?"
Although most people don't dare to offend a leader's secretary, in the final analysis, his job is still to serve others. Generally, when a leader is promoted, the secretary will be transferred to a certain department to become a leader on his own.
"Including the eight years I spent on the farm, it has been fifteen years this year.
I asked for his opinion and wanted to promote him to a higher level and arrange for him to be a director, but he was unwilling and applied to follow me to the provincial capital.
If he wants to follow me, then let him. He'll get used to it over time. As long as he doesn't forget his original intention, I won't treat him unfairly in the future."
Xia Dong has been deeply branded with Xiao Qingyang's label, and Xiao Qingyang also has an idea about Xia Dong's future.
"Grandma, the flight is now open. It will fly directly from the capital of Annan to Jinling tomorrow. I'm going to send a young cadre from the capital to Annan. Let's go together."
"Grandma, please come with us to see Dad. I miss him so much."
Junjun ran to his grandmother and shook her hand left and right.
"Okay, if there are any extra seats on the plane, I'll go over and take a look."
Mu Xue felt relieved that the old man was being taken care of by Xia Dong, so she no longer concealed her true thoughts.
Yang Baiyi then called the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse to inform the young men from Beijing that a car would be there to pick them up tomorrow morning to meet at Jinling Airport and prepare to depart for Annan.
After receiving the call, several old family heads sent their best descendants to Su City without any delay.
Several young people arrived in Suzhou and had already stayed at the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse for two or three days. They were ready to leave for Annan at any time.
