Chapter 3 Changes at Home

Xiao Yi was a little dissatisfied, and muttered a few words there, he had hoped to pay a few bonuses, but it seemed that his hope was in vain.

"What are you doing? Didn't you just say that you are a living Lei Feng? How can there be such a rich Lei Feng?"

"Lei Feng has to eat and make money too. If he doesn't have money to spend, he'll burp."

Xiao Yi said, it's really uninteresting to even have no reward for doing something brave.

"Comrade policeman, don't listen to this guy, he is talking nonsense."

"We can tell if you're joking, but just now you shot so hard, next time you do something brave, don't use that guy, the thief has three broken ribs."

A complex look appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes, seeing that Li Xiaojia was about to speak, he hurriedly pulled Li Xiaojia aside and let the police leave first.

After the police left, the minibus just passed the puddle, and the passengers continued to walk in the car. When they reached a place called Anning Bay, Xiao Yi chose to get off.

"Huh—is this guy from here?"

After seeing Xiao Yi get off the car, Li Xiaojia hurriedly followed, trotting a few steps to catch up.

"Beauty, you are lingering, do you like me and plan to go home with me?"

"It's a good idea. I'm going to the village in front of me to do some business. How about you? Are you from this village?"

"Well, I haven't visited the village for seven years, so I don't know what it's like. The time flies so fast."

"That's right, we're on the way. It's my first time here, so it's good to have a companion on the way."

Xiao Yi looked back at Li Xiaojia, and guessed that Li Xiaojia was not from the village, and the villagers did not have such arrogance like her.

"It's too late to be happy with beautiful women, but before that, I didn't let the thief take your wallet, didn't you—"

"No way, don't even think about it. You are so strange. You have done a good deed, but you keep asking for money. The good deeds have become worthless."

Li Xiaojia resolutely rejected Xiao Yi's request, Xiao Yi had no choice but to give up, touched his bare pockets, and planned to buy something to go home, but it seemed impossible.

"As long as I, Xiao Yi, live, nothing can stop me. Making money must come first..."

A penny beats a hero, Xiao Yi now understands the meaning of this sentence, he has no other choice in the current situation, he can only take one step at a time.

Anning Bay is backed by green hills, and a river flows around the village. There are more than 200 households in the village, and they basically rely on farming for their livelihood.

Some young men feel that farming has no future, so they choose to go out to work, and there is no trace of modern urbanization here.

Xiao Yi was standing on the edge of a rice field. When the rice in the field was growing gratifyingly, the green rice seedlings looked like a large lawn.

"Isn't this Aunt Liu? Is that you, Aunt Liu?"

On the ridge of the rice field, there was a woman in her forties, wearing a blue scarf, Xiao Yi looked at the woman's back somewhat familiarly.

Aunt Liu had a mole the size of a black bean next to Aunt Liu's ear. Xiao Yi remembered this clearly. When he was a child, he was restless and even went to the river to peek at Aunt Liu taking a bath.

"You are……"

"Aunt Liu, don't you remember me? When I was a child, I secretly drank the milk of Aunt Liu's goat, and my eyes were swollen for several days when I lay there and was kicked by the goat."

"Oh, are you Xiao Yi? Hey, I haven't seen you for so many years. Did that kid grow up so much?"

When Xiao Yi reminded her like this, Aunt Liu suddenly remembered who it was, she came out of the paddy field excitedly, and washed her hands beside her.

"Aunt Liu, I thought you forgot. You haven't been back for seven years, and you are still so energetic, Aunt Liu."

"What's the spirit? You're the only one who can talk. By the way, didn't you go to be a soldier? Why did you go back to the village?"

Aunt Liu asked casually, everyone in the village knew that Xiao Yi was going to be a soldier.

For the past seven years, Xiao Yi seemed to have disappeared without any news. When people asked about Xiao Yi's grandfather, they didn't even know about it.

Hearing the word "be a soldier", Li Xiaojia also seemed to understand why Xiao Yi was so agile when he was in the car before, and he turned out to be someone who has been trained.

"I changed jobs from the army, and the assigned place was too far away, so I just ran home."

Xiao Yi casually gave a reason, anyway, no one in the village cared about this, and the outside world believed that Xiao Yi had disappeared from the world.

"The kid is getting more and more promising, and you're bringing your wife with you when you go home. Are you going to let your grandpa see it?"

Aunt Liu took a look at Li Xiaojia who was beside her. She was slim and dignified. No one could find such a handsome girl in the whole village.

"Aunt Liu, don't get me wrong. This is a friend I know. After changing jobs, I plan to return to the village to develop."

Xiao Yi quickly explained that Li Xiaojia was still thinking about the previous events and did not pay attention to what Aunt Liu said.

"It's fine to come back, it's fine to come back, your grandpa is alone, hey..."

"Aunt Liu, what's the matter? Halfway through the conversation, what's wrong with my grandpa?"

"You haven't come home yet, have you? Your grandfather is a good man, but in this society, good people don't get rewarded."

It turned out that after Xiao Yi went to serve in the army, there were only two people left in the family, his grandfather and his sister. Xiao Yi's parents left early, and only his grandfather and his sister depended on each other in the family.

Xiao Yi's grandfather planted ten acres of land, plus he usually went to the mountains to collect herbs, so he lived frugally and lived frugally.

But last year, Xiao Yi's grandfather got seriously ill and couldn't continue to plant the land, so he rented out ten mu of land, two hundred per mu, a total of two thousand.

Later, the disease did not recover, Xiao Yi's grandfather couldn't work, and there was a younger sister waiting to eat at home, so he had to borrow 2,000 yuan from the person who rented the land.

This year, Xiao Yi's grandfather's illness has improved a little bit, and he can move around in the land, but the land renter has been messing around, and he will not return the land to Xiao Yi's grandfather.

Not only that, but when I borrowed 2,000 yuan at the beginning, it was more than 10,000 yuan including interest. How could an old man get such a lot of money.

"Your grandfather didn't see it clearly at the beginning. That person came to our village last year. He was a rascal before. Now he is forcing your grandfather to pay back the money, or transfer the ten acres of land to him."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu, for this damn thing. I'll go home and see Grandpa first."

Xiao Yi clenched his fists tightly, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he left home, and Xiao Yi was in the army back then, so he didn't receive any news.

"Xiao Yi boy, what are you going to do? You must not do stupid things in your head."

"Yeah, don't be impulsive. There will always be a solution to the matter. You should calm down first."

Li Xiaojia said that he had only seen men bullying women on TV before, but he did not expect this to happen on his first day in office.

"Don't worry... I'm such an old man, I can do things in my own way."

Xiao Yi said, Xiao Yi understood this kindness in his heart, but if he could calm down at this time, he was not worthy of being in the army for these seven years.

Turn around and walk quickly towards home. His home is at the northernmost end of Anning Bay, and there are three big willow trees beside the house.

Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, Li Xiaojia realized that Xiao Yi would definitely settle accounts with this rascal, so she asked Aunt Liu to find out more about the situation.

The three willow trees were still there, and Xiao Yi saw them at a glance when he walked to the entrance of the village. There were three low bungalows, and the yard was surrounded by a wall made of branches. None of this had changed much.
