Jiuchuan County, a poor county in the middle of the country, is where Ye Qing grew up.

Since graduating from college, Ye Qing has not been back to this place for five years. The county town has changed so much that Ye Qing has a feeling of dizziness. The whole city is full of high-rise buildings under construction, and the low-rise houses in Ye Qing's impression are completely two worlds.

With his impression, Ye Qing finally found the village where he used to live. This is a village on the edge of the county seat, which was originally relatively remote. However, the current development has made this place prosperous, and the new houses around Ye Qing almost can't find his home.

After turning around several times, Ye Qing finally found his home.

The whole county has changed, but his family has not changed much from before. It's still the low bungalow, it's still the dilapidated wooden door, and it looks particularly shabby in this county.

Ye Qing pushed the door into the courtyard, and before he entered the house, he heard a woman's sharp voice from inside: "No, no, I just don't agree." Don't talk about it, I'm such a big house, what can you do if you give this money to compensate for it? You take this land, we take that little money, and a few members of our family will go to live in Qiaodong!"

"Sister-in-law, everyone has signed a contract and agreed to this compensation, but if you don't agree, isn't this an obstacle to the construction of the county!" A man's voice followed: "It is the county's policy to promote the urbanization of surrounding villages and accelerate the pace of construction of new urban areas." If you don't agree alone, do you want to stop the urbanization process?"

The woman said: "You don't use the county's policies to pressure me, anyway, I just don't agree." ”

The man said coldly: "Sister-in-law, we have told you all the good things, don't be ignorant." Even if you don't sign, our project won't stop. Don't blame me for not warning you, once the project starts, there will be more workers from outside. You live here, if you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, you can't blame anyone else!"

"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to threaten me? If you dare to touch me, you can beat me right now if you have the ability!"

The noise inside escalated, Ye Qing heard it clearly, and there was the sound of something falling to the ground inside, it seemed that there was a fight.

"Vixen, if you dare to arrest me, Lao Tzu will kill you!" a man yelled.

Ye Qing heard that something was wrong, and immediately rushed to the door, just in time to see a burly man grabbing a woman's hair and slapping her hard. There were five or six men beside her, and they surrounded the woman in the middle.

This woman is none other than Ye Qing's stepmother Zhou Hongxia!

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing's face changed greatly, and he rushed into the room, grabbed the man's neck and pulled him away, and at the same time kicked him on the waist, directly kicking the man to the ground.

"What for!

There was chaos in the house, and two men immediately came up to beat Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was unceremonious, punching one by one, and the two men immediately covered their noses and squatted on the ground. The other three hesitated, but Ye Qing didn't hesitate, and kicked one of them out of the house with a kick. Seeing that they couldn't run, the remaining two opened their arms and hugged Ye Qing, wanting to hold him down.

Ye Qing bent down and hit his right fist directly on the lower abdomen of one of them, and this person immediately lay on the ground holding his stomach.

The second person hugged Ye Qing smoothly, but he couldn't hold Ye Qing's arms.

Ye Qing grabbed this person's head with his left hand, formed a fist with his right hand, and punched his head several times in succession, and the person immediately let go of his hand and collapsed to the ground.

The six men, in less than two minutes, all fell to the ground, but Ye Qing was not injured at all.

This is actually nothing to Ye Qing, he is a three-time consecutive fighting champion in the army, and one person has no problem with three well-trained special forces, not to mention these hooligans.

A man struggled to get up, pointed at Ye Qing and said angrily, "Good boy, you ...... You even dare to beat me, you're impatient......"

Ye Qing suddenly turned his head to look at him, and the man immediately shuddered, and subconsciously took a step back.

"You...... Who are you......" The man said in a trembling voice, "I...... I have a good relationship with Da Fei, and this time is also Da Fei's business, you ......"

"Get out!" Ye Qing only said one word.

The man was angry, opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, but still left with his own people.

Zhou Hongxia was already stunned when she looked at this scene, and after a long time, she pointed at Ye Qing in astonishment and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You...... Are you Ye Qing!?"

"Auntie!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "I'm discharged!"

"Huh?" Zhou Hongxia was stunned again and said, "You...... How did you get out of the military? This ...... It's not ...... Isn't it time to be discharged from the army?"

"I wrote the application and was discharged early. Ye Qing went over and helped up the table that he had knocked down just now, and said, "Who are those just now?"

"Hey!" Zhou Hongxia sighed and said, "Your dad is coming back soon, you can wait for him to tell you." ”

Ye Qing didn't ask much, and the relationship between him and Zhou Hongxia was not very harmonious. Hongxia herself has two children this week, and such a combined family is actually living for their relatives. He has no blood relationship with Zhou Hongxia, and he has always been silent and stubborn, so the relationship between him and Zhou Hongxia is naturally very distant.

Helping to clean up the room, Ye Qing's father, Ye Changwen, also rushed back after hearing the news. He is an old employee of the county parts factory, but a few years ago, he was dismissed from the factory, and now he has a stall at the corner of the street to repair bicycles. I just heard that the demolition people had come to my house, so I hurried back. As a result, I didn't see the people who were demolished, but I saw my eldest son, whom I hadn't seen for five years.

I haven't seen him for five years, Ye Changwen has aged a lot, and most of his hair has turned gray. It may also have something to do with Ye Jun's disappearance, this is no longer the old father who once carried a family on his shoulders and supported four children by himself.

Ye Qing didn't go home for five years, mainly because he didn't want to cause trouble to his family. After all, there are three people in the family who are not related by blood, and when he comes back, it will only cause disharmony in the family. However, he didn't go home for five years, and he didn't miss his father.

Looking at the white hair on Ye Changwen's head, Ye Qing only felt that his nose was sour. He walked over, took the equipment for repairing the car from Ye Changwen, who was so excited that he couldn't even speak, and said, "Dad, I'm discharged from the army." ”

Ye Changwen's excited eyes were full of tears, and when he heard this, he was stunned again: "You...... How did you get out of the army? Did you make a mistake? Isn't it time to be discharged from the army?"

"I didn't make a mistake, I just applied for discharge early. Ye Qing explained the situation again.

After listening to Ye Qing's words, Ye Changwen was a little relieved, and said: "It's good that you didn't make a mistake, Qingzi, no matter where you are, the men of our Ye family must be responsible, and you can't run away if you make a mistake!"

This is what Ye Changwen has said to Ye Qing most often since he was a child, and this is also what Ye Qing respects him the most.

Ye Changwen was very excited, and said to Zhou Hongxia: "Hongxia, you go buy some vegetables, cut some meat, and let Xiaoyu and Xiaozheng come back in the evening, and a few people in our family can finally get together." ”

"Xiaoyu and Xiaozheng are so busy, how can they have time to come back. Zhou Hongxia said impatiently: "Besides, how can I have the money to buy meat." This month's living expenses are not enough, how can I have the money to eat these extravagant things. ”

Ye Changwen's face turned red, Ye Qing saw that he was a little angry, so he hurriedly got up and took out the money he was carrying.

"Dad, this is an allowance in the army. A total of 43,000, I will keep 3,000 for myself, and you can take the 40,000 first. ”

Ye Qing handed the money to Ye Changwen, Ye Changwen was stunned for a moment, immediately waved his hand, and said, "Qingzi, I can't ask for this money." You're not too young, it's time to worry about buying a house and marrying a daughter-in-law. This money is earned by yourself, you have to save it, and you will use it to buy a house in the future, and you can't spend it indiscriminately!"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Dad, don't be in a hurry about buying a house." Xiaozheng is still in school, and it is the most important thing for him to go to school first. ”

Ye Changwen still waved his hand: "This is your money, how can I ......"

"Oh, Lao Ye, this is Qingzi's filial piety to you, how can you not accept it!" Zhou Hongxia immediately came over, took Ye Qing's money, and said, "Qingzi, I will say that you are the most filial child." Your dad is an old stubborn guy who is embarrassed to use your money. However, the situation in this family is really like this, your brother has to go to school, and he can't do it without money. This money, my aunt doesn't want to use it, my aunt will help you save it, and you will buy a house in the future, and then come to your aunt to get the money!"

Ye Qing knew very well in his heart that when the money was in Zhou Hongxia's hands, it was impossible to come back. However, he didn't want to ask for it either. If these 40,000 yuan can buy family harmony, he doesn't care at all!

"Hongxia, how can you do this, this is the child's money!" Ye Changwen said urgently.

"Okay, okay, I'll go grocery shopping first. Qingzi, sit with your dad for a while, I'll go out and inform Xiaoyu Xiaozheng by the way, so that they can come back for dinner in the evening. Zhou Hongxia said and left the house in a hurry.

Ye Changwen wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Ye Qing.

"Dad,
