"Uncle Du, is my father inside?" Li Song asked, noticing that the middle-aged man in the Zhongshan suit was surnamed Du, but he didn't know his given name.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Let me tell you, you ran off like a shot, and your dad and mom had a really big fight."

"You must have made a fortune in the south!" the middle-aged man said immediately when he heard Li Song call him.

"I didn't get rich either. I found a job over there with my senior brother. Uncle Du smokes!"

"Old Li, your kid's back!" Li Song offered the other man a cigarette, but the man turned around, stretched his neck, and shouted loudly.

The township government was just a courtyard of single-story buildings.

At the middle-aged man's shout, Li Deping came out.

Looking at Li Song, although his clothes had changed and he had grown taller, he could tell at a glance that this was his naughty son.

They also discovered that there was another person following behind their son, as well as two 212 jeeps.

"Father!" Ever since Li Song spent the New Year alone last time, his mindset has changed, and he has decided to take good care of his parents in place of the original owner.

Why don't you just die outside!

"You still remember to come back!"

"Hurry home!"

"Don't embarrass yourself here!" Men from the Northwest are all sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. Of course, there are also those who are sharp-tongued but also speak with their fists.

"Then I'll go check on my older sister first!"

"What are you looking at? Your mother is arguing with me all the time!"

"Old Li, you should go back now!" The people around him took Li Song's cigarettes and then said one after another.

"That's it!"

"Li Song seems to have made something of himself, so stop talking!"

"That's it!"

"Father, let's go back together!" Li Song said.

“Then I’ll go in!” Li Deping nodded.

"Li Song, what company are you working for now?"

"In a small factory in the south!"

Is it a government-affiliated or private company?

"I have no education or skills, and I can't get into a government agency!" Li Song belittled himself.

Fortunately, Section Chief Zhou had great composure; otherwise, his expression would have completely broken down.

"Then you should come back and continue your studies!"

"That's right! After graduating from sports school, you can find a job at the school!"

"Personal things are unreliable; who knows when they might change?"

"Thank you, I'll consider it." Li Song nodded.

Normally, female students can be assigned jobs after graduating from sports schools.

Vocational school graduates are now guaranteed job placement.

Li Deping went in quickly and came out quickly!
"This is my colleague, surnamed Zhou. I call him Brother Zhou!" Li Song introduced after getting into the car.

"Uncle Li!" Section Chief Zhou greeted Li Deping.

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work!" Li Deping was full of questions.

My son has been away for almost half a year, and when he came back, he had not only grown taller, but his clothes had also changed, and he was even riding in a car.

"Why didn't you just go home? You know those people in the township government, they're all big mouths and crows. What a waste of your good cigarettes!" Li Deping began to lecture Li Song.

"I was just thinking of seeing you!" Li Song shoved the remaining half-pack of cigarettes into his cheapskate father's hand. "Just take it and smoke it yourself!" Li Deping said, looking at the cigarettes in his hand.

I don't smoke!

"You've changed so much in just over half a year? Who used to steal my cigarettes?"

"That was before."

After dropping Li Song off at home, Section Chief Zhou left, but left Li Song with a car.

Liang Guihua looked at Li Song, her face a mixture of joy and tears.

"Mother, don't cry!"

"I'm back now!"

"Look at what I bought for you!" Li Song was also a little at a loss.

"Tell me what you've been doing outside."

"They've been chauffeured around so much, and they've bought so many nice clothes!"

“I asked about the things you sent back for the New Year, and they were so expensive.”

Li Song opened the large bag of clothes he had bought and showed it to Liang Guihua.

Li Deping pulled Li Song aside and asked in a low voice, somewhat annoyed, "What have you been doing outside? Don't you know your own limitations?"

“Dad, I’m working as a bodyguard for a big boss over there… I was tricked by my senior brother. I happened to encounter a robbery in Guangdong Province. I can’t stand this kind of thing, so I caught the thief. It turns out the other party was a big boss, a Hong Kong businessman. He saw that I knew martial arts and made me work for him.”

"He opened a factory in Guangdong Province, and I am currently in charge of it."

"Really?"

"On the surface, I'm in charge, but I'm just a figurehead. Everything is decided by the big boss; I'm just passing on the message."

"Later I found out that this big boss was afraid that the winds of power might change, so he was in charge in Hong Kong while I was in charge here. I also have a Hong Kong ID card now, and I still have to report to him." Li Song had already thought it through and said.

"You don't want your life!"

"He pays me 30,000 a year!"

"How many?"

"Plus the bonus of 50,000!"

“He offered me 10,000 yuan for saving me, but I refused. He only let me follow him because he saw that I refused…”

"Fifty thousand!!" Li Deping almost shouted it out, because he only made a little over a hundred yuan a month, less than two thousand a year, and it would take him 20 years to earn fifty thousand.

"The big boss wants to find some swordsmen when I come back this time. He has a large business outside and has offended many people. I brought back a million this time. I can decide on the settlement fee. He just wants loyal people." The swordsmen that Li Song mentioned are a specialty of the Northwest region. Of course, most swordsmen also have another name: bandits!

"Snapped!"

"Dad!" Li Song saw that Li Deping seemed to be in a daze, so he slapped Li Deping.

“One million!” Li Deping’s voice trembled slightly.

"The person who came with me is the big boss's man, someone in the government. The big boss has invested tens of millions in Guangdong Province to build a factory to manufacture cars. When the cars are made, I'll get one for you, and one for your second brother-in-law too. As for your eldest brother-in-law, he's such a loser, so I won't get one for him. And if your eldest sister doesn't want to stay married, she can divorce that loser and find someone else..." Li Song rambled on.

Li Deping shoved Li Song in annoyance. The things he had just heard seemed like a fantasy, but the nonsense Li Song was spouting now sounded like something his own son would say.

"Hehe, Dad, who do you think is the best to find? You have a good eye for people. If you find some people from our hometown, I'll have someone to look after me over there." Li Song breathed a sigh of relief. He had indeed said what he thought of the original owner.

“You should ask your master for help with this. He’s paid a good settlement fee. There are plenty of swordsmen out there, but if you want someone reliable, you should ask your master,” Li Deping said.

"middle!"

"Dad, I'll drive you around!"

"Lock the door first, you spendthrift woman, put the clothes away. You have something nice to show off!" Li Deping said irritably.

Li Song looked at his neighbors, then pulled Li Deping and Liang Guihua into the 212 Jeep, and drove away amidst the envious gazes of his neighbors.
