"Grandson, when are we going back?"
Before they knew it, they had already lived in Annan for half a month. The children were about to start school, and Mu Xue was also thinking about Xiao Qingyang.
"Grandma, we'll go back tomorrow. I'm going to bring Da Huang and the others over here and let them carry out some tasks."
The construction of roads in Annan is in full swing, but there are big problems in the areas bordering Wolf Province.
Ruan Bochao had long harbored rebellious intentions, and at some point he began secretly burying mines in the border area.
These minefields must be cleared, otherwise they can easily cause harm to the people.
Relying on engineering corps to clear mines is not only too inefficient but also too dangerous.
Under my care, the rhubarb plants have already developed strong bodies, which makes them perfect for this job.
"Brother, are we going back tomorrow? Then we should go out and buy some fruit for grandpa."
Yang Xiaoxiao, who was playing with Junjun and Lele, quickly asked to go out shopping.
"I want to go too."
"And me, and me."
Xiao Qingyang especially likes children and always has a kind face at home. The children also love this elder very much.
"Okay, let's go together."
We are going back tomorrow. Today we all went out together and want to bring back some Annan specialties.
They bought a lot of various fruits, coconut candies, coconut cakes, as well as ox horn combs and bamboo hats with unique ethnic characteristics, anything that was not available in Jiangsu Province.
"Bai Yi, because of your relationship with Grandpa, the school leaders and professors have always been very caring towards Xiaoxue and me. I'd like to buy some coffee for them. Is that appropriate? Will it cause them unnecessary trouble?"
In recent years, coffee has been associated with capitalism, and Han Fei is somewhat hesitant.
But if I buy fruits, with so many leaders and professors, if I give too little, I won’t be able to present them, and if I give too much, I won’t be able to take them back!
"Why wouldn't that be inappropriate? Annan is now part of the Celestial Empire, and coffee is an Annan specialty. Bringing it to the professor won't be seen as worshipping foreigners, nor will it be seen as seeking pleasure. Just give it to him."
The days when every little thing would be a big deal are slowly passing.
"Okay, then I'll buy some to give away."
With Yang Baiyi's words, Han Fei felt relieved.
The next day, Xiao Fuxing and Lu Kai took a convoy to take the people to the airport.
Yang Baiyi and his people boarded the plane first, leaving space for his grandma and aunt.
"Fuxing, Fengying has to go to work. I'm worried about your father being home alone. You should rest well in Annan, eat on time, and don't let your mother worry."
Mu Xue held Xiao Fuxing's hand and reminded him that in the eyes of parents, no matter how old a child is, he is still a child.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Now there is a flight from Annan to Jinling. Once the Annan-Guizhou Highway is completed, I will go home to see you and Dad.
The phone is connected now, and we can talk anytime."
After the communications soldiers worked overtime to set up the line, it was connected to the switchboard in Lang Province two days ago, making it convenient to communicate with the mainland in the future.
"When Junjun is older, I will transfer to Annan to work and take care of your food and daily life."
Zhou Fengying helped her man straighten his clothes.
"Okay, once the Celestial language is popularized in schools, you can come to Annan to teach."
The relationship between the young couple has always been very good. After a short reunion, they have to separate again, and they feel reluctant to part.
Mu Xue and Zhou Fengying waited until the plane had to take off before they took Junjun on board.
There was no conversation along the way, and the plane landed smoothly at Jinling Airport.
Xia Dong, who received the call, was already waiting at the airport with his motorcade.
The group came to the provincial party committee’s staff housing compound. The small red building in the middle was where Xiao Qingyang lived now.
"Grandpa."
"grandfather."
"Great-grandfather."
"This is the fruit we brought for you. It's so sweet and delicious. Please try it."
The three children filled the coffee table with fruits as if they were presenting treasures.
"Good, good children, I really did love you so much that you even thought of me when you went to Annan."
After resting in Jinling for one night, I went next door to call Liu Hang over for dinner and had another good drink with my grandfather. The next day, Mu Xue took Junjun to stay in Jinling, while Yang Baiyi and others returned to Sucheng.
After school starts, Zhou Fengying will go to the school to transfer her work relationship so that she can go to work in the provincial capital.
My parents-in-law will be in the provincial capital from now on, and will only come back to Jinyun Villa for a short stay on weekends. Xiao Fuxing is far away in Annan, and we can't have our family separated into three places!
After arriving home, Yang Baiyi asked Zhou Fengying and Li Xue to take care of Lin Wanru and the children. He took Dahuang and hurried to Annan.
School is about to start for Han Fei and his wife, and Xiaoxiao and Lele also have to go to school. Yang Baiyi is worried about leaving Lin Wanru and the children alone in such a big yard.
Although there is a ghost hand vine guarding in the dark, I still feel uneasy when he is not around.
Yang Baiyi brought Dahuang to the former border, now the junction of two provinces. Before they reached the command center, they heard a voice asking for orders from inside.
"Commander, let me take my brothers and try again. Within three days, we must capture Woniu Slope and clear the obstacles for the Angui Highway."
"No, the minefield at Woniu Slope is too complex. I can't let my brothers risk their lives there. The Governor-General gave us an order when he returned, asking us to wait until he comes back."
In the command center, Zhao Changzhi flatly rejected Captain Gao's request.
Just yesterday, when the soldiers were clearing a minefield, they accidentally triggered a particularly hidden mine. Two soldiers died on the spot and five were seriously injured.
When Zhao Changzhi received the news, he immediately rushed over from the capital and stopped the engineering corps' mine clearance mission.
"Commander, we are not afraid of sacrifice. Mine clearance is the mission of our engineers. For the construction of the Angui Highway and the development of Annan, we are willing to fight to the last man."
"Your spirit is commendable, but there's no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. Leave Woniu Slope to me!"
Yang Baiyi walked slowly in from outside.
"Your Excellency the Governor."
"Your Excellency the Governor."
Although the soldiers standing guard at the door had never seen Yang Baiyi, almost everyone in the army had seen Yang Baiyi's photo.
"Governor, you are here?"
Zhao Changzhi and Chief of Staff Li came out from the command post with several officers.
"Here I come."
Yang Baiyi walked in front, and behind him were five dogs as big as calves. They followed Yang Baiyi closely without making any sound.
"Commander Zhao, take me to Woniu Slope to have a look."
"yes."
The command post is not fixed, but changes with the progress of mine clearance, so Woniupo is not far from the command post.
"Governor, this is it." Zhao Changzhi brought Yang Baiyi to a dilapidated hillside.
The hillside is riddled with holes, with traces of mine clearance and scars from explosions.
