After leaving the center of Yang City, 20 kilometers north, Quanxi Village.
This was Jiang Chen's hometown.
In the past few years, the village had changed a lot. The asphalt road, water, electricity, and gas were connected, and the village had built a new collective village.
Every family lived in a small bungalow.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's house was very lively. There were a few cars parked at the door, and guests were coming and going in an endless stream.
Today was Jiang Chen's sister, Jiang Jing's engagement.
Jiang Jing, who taught in a village primary school, was a police officer in the village police station. The man was upright and honest.
The parents of both parties were quite satisfied. Today, they sat together and discussed the marriage regulations.
The wedding was set to be held on National Day two months later. Jiang Jing sat at the dining table and listened silently. She quietly reached out to tug at her father's clothes and whispered.
"Dad, I'm getting married. Is there still no news from Little Brother?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally lively dining table instantly quieted down.
Jiang Chen's father, Jiang Wanli, put down his glass and shook his head with a worried look.
"This rascal, it's been three years, and he doesn't even know to call home?”
Three years ago, Jiang Chen had left a letter to his family, telling them that he was going to work abroad. He hadn't heard from them since then.
Time flew by. Jiang Chen's sister, Jiang Jing, was about to get married, and this kid was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Wanli gritted his teeth in anger.
"Tell me if you're dead or alive.”
Jiang Chen's grandfather and Jiang Zhengchang, who were sitting beside him, were furious when they heard this.
"It's such a good day. What are you talking about?”
Hearing his father's anger, Jiang Wanli immediately shrugged.
He had been like this since he was young. The old man loved his eldest grandson the most. If he made a mistake, he could punish Jiang Chen by making him stand in a military posture or by making him run five kilometers.
However, if anyone were to say anything bad about his grandson, the old man would definitely go up to him.
The older generation of soldiers was a typical example of protecting their own children, not to mention protecting their eldest grandson.
But this time, Jiang Wanli still braced himself and said.
"Dad... He's been away for three years. Who knows what he's doing overseas? What if..."
Before he could finish, the old man stood up excitedly and widened his eyes.
"What if? Ah?"
"The grandson that I, Jiang Zhengchang, taught, even if he starved to death outside, he wouldn't do anything that would harm the heavens and reason.”
"Don't you know Chen's personality? He must have his reasons for not contacting his family.”
"Back then, you hid it from your family and took the initiative to apply to go to the front line and the battlefield. Did you contact your family? You told me? Ah?"
Jiang Wanli's face turned red after being scolded by the old man in front of his future in-laws.
"Dad, this is... Was he talking about Chen? Why... You're talking about me again."
Just as the atmosphere was extremely anxious, a cadre from Quanxi Village suddenly rushed into the Jiang family's courtyard and went straight to the living room.
As he ran, he shouted out of breath.
"Old Jiang, come out quickly. A big leader is coming. He'll be here in a breath's time..."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanli and his son were puzzled.
The big leader was coming? Come to the Jiang family?
First, he didn't make any contributions. Second, he didn't receive any awards. Why did the big leader come to the Jiang family?
Just as Jiang Wanli was extremely curious, the old master pushed the stunned Jiang Wanli and said angrily.
"Are you deaf? Why aren't you going out to take a look?”
Jiang Wanli, who had lost his temper after being lectured by the old man, led his family towards the courtyard entrance.
She wondered who this leader who suddenly came to visit was.
As they walked, they asked the village official.
"Old Zhang, what's going on? Who's this big leader? Why is he at our house?”
The village official was also confused. He took the cigarette from Jiang Wanli and shook his head.
"I don't know either. I just received a call from the city. They asked me to inform you that the big leader is coming. They asked you to stay at home and don't let the leader leave empty-handed.”
A call from the city?
What was the city leader doing at home?
Every year, the leaders of the armed forces visited the old man before and after August 1st.
The timing didn't match either.
Just as the Jiang family was waiting for their leader at the entrance of the courtyard with doubts.
Many villagers of Spring Creek Village came out to watch the show.
Quanxi Village was not big to begin with, with a total of dozens of households.
Now that the new village had been built together, there was a main road in the middle and houses on both sides.
Usually, she could hear every quarrel clearly.
The entire village had heard the village leader's shout.
It was lunchtime, and many villagers were at home. When they heard that a leader was going to the Jiang family's house, they all held their bowls and food and stood at the door of their houses, watching the commotion while eating.
He wanted to see the big leader that the village cadre was talking about.
How big was it?
They did not have to wait for too long. Under everyone's expectant gaze, a convoy slowly drove into the main road of the new village in Quanxi Village.
The convoy was all black sedans with ordinary brands and license plates. There was no traffic police to lead the way, so it didn't look strange.
The convoy drove into the main road of the new village. On both sides of the main road were the houses of the villagers of Quanxi Village. The villagers were watching the fun while eating and discussing.
"Yes, our Sun City's local license plate. It's probably some Sun City leader who came.”
"There's nothing to see. They're probably here to console Old Master Jiang. Old Master Jiang is a famous hero in all the villages.”
"You're still picking when you're just watching the show? Some are already pretty good."
Amidst the discussions of the villagers, the convoy finally slowed down and slowly stopped outside the Jiang family's house.
An assistant in a black suit jumped down from the passenger seat and opened the door of the backseat.
A figure slowly got out of the car and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The moment this figure appeared, a villager who often watched the news almost lost his mind when he saw the face that had appeared on the news countless times. He hurriedly patted the villager beside him and shouted in a low voice.
"F * ck, stop looking at the widow next door and look at me.”
"What's there to see on your side? Isn't it just the local leader of our Yang City... F * ck, isn't this that person…Li... Minister Li!"
