Chapter 9 Changes

"alright."

In Xiaoheishandao Village, in front of a private house, Li Jie clapped his hands and spent more than half an hour finally moving all his luggage to his home.

An Xin brought a lot of luggage, including pots, pans, food, drinks, and everything else that needed to be prepared.

She even considered the tables and chairs. One table became a small round table and four small bamboo stools. Although not big, they were enough for their family of four.

As the old saying goes, a home feels like home only when there is a woman in it.

Hearing the noise coming from outside the door, An Xin walked out with a smile, holding a small bamboo stool in one hand and an enamel tea jar in the other.

"Are you tired? Sit down, have a rest and drink some water."

Seeing the enamel teapot in An Xin's hand, Li Jie's eyes showed a strange color.

The cup body of the tea vat has the words "Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy" printed on it, and an August 1st emblem is printed directly below the words.

Li Jie remembered clearly that they did not have this style of teapot at home.

The navy's teapot. The only person in their family who has anything to do with the navy is his brother-in-law Jiang Defu.

After thinking about it, Li Jie suddenly understood where this teapot came from.

It must have been sent by An Tai, the eldest brother of the An family. At some point, a teapot can represent many things.

But with An Xin's temperament, she would never do such a pretentious thing.

At first glance, this is Antai's handiwork.

However, An Tai did this with good intentions. He was probably worried that his sister and brother-in-law would be bullied.

After all, my brother-in-law is an old right man. With this status, anyone can step on him a few times.

My brother-in-law has been bullied, how can my sister be okay?

An Xin is a thoughtful person. Seeing her husband's eyes lingering on the enamel jar for a while longer, in order to prevent her husband from being unhappy, she quickly explained.

"Ouyang, this is..."

However, before she could finish her words, Li Jie took the initiative to stop her.

"Needless to say, a cup, what's the big deal."

Li Jie didn't care about the cup. If he was really bullied, what use would a cup be?

"Is this what eldest brother means?"

"Um."

An Xin nodded awkwardly. She actually didn't want to bring this cup with her. She just sent it and her brother was so kind, so she couldn't lose it.

"Actually, brother's worries are unnecessary."

Li Jie took the cup and took a sip: "The folk customs on Xiaoheishan Island are very simple and there are no big risks."

"Compared with exercising, they are more concerned about whether there will be strong winds tomorrow and whether they can fill their stomachs."

As he spoke, Li Jie paused slightly and smiled loudly.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you some good news."

"What good news?"

An Xin looked confused. They have reached this point, what good news can there be?

"Your job."

Li Jie didn't deliberately show off, he said bluntly.

"You have nothing to do right now. The school on the island happens to have no teachers again. I guess someone will come to your door in the next few days."

"Let me be a teacher?"

An Xin waved her hands repeatedly: "How can that be done? I have never been a teacher. No, I can't do this job."

An Xin refused not because she was worried that she would not do well, but because she was worried that she would teach the children badly.

"You can do it."

Li Jie stood up, held her hand, and encouraged: "Look at me, I used to hold a pen, but now I am not doing a decent job doing manual labor?"

"Besides, you are also a college student after all. It is more than enough to teach a bunch of kids."

"Let me think about it."

An Xin was still a little resistant, but then she realized something was wrong and stared at Li Jie suspiciously.

"No, how did you know this?"

My husband is no longer the great scholar he used to be, he is just an old rightist now.

"It's figured out."

As Li Jie spoke, he stretched out his hand to make a fan motion.

"I do not believe."

An Xin rolled her eyes at him, smiled and teased: "Ouyang Wolong, where did you lose your fan? How about I go look for it for you?"

Li Jie glanced at her casually. With his character, he would definitely not behave in such a childish manner.

But in order for An Xin to integrate into the current environment faster, he doesn't mind being childish occasionally.

He never gave up on an old right man, and even took the initiative to quit his job and take his children all the way to an isolated island.

If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?

As long as An Xin can be happy, it doesn't matter if she goes out of her way occasionally.

"Is Ouyang Yi at home?"

At this moment, a cheerful female voice suddenly came from outside.

Turning around, I saw a middle-aged woman with regular features and plump figure standing on the path outside the yard.

Li Jie knew this woman. Although they had never met formally, he had glanced at her from a distance while working.

She is Yu Fengxi, the wife of Secretary Jiao.

The moment he saw this woman, An Xin's expression suddenly became tense.

Who is this woman?

Why did you come to your door suddenly?

It's not that she's worried about her husband's indiscriminate relationship between men and women, it's just a woman's subconscious precautions.

Although this woman's skin is a little darker, her appearance is indeed outstanding. If she were whiter, she would definitely look better.

She was nervous, but it was like repelling others.

"Hello, I am Yu Fengxi, Lao Jiao's wife."

Seeing the two of them looking at themselves, Yu Fengxi looked at each other and smiled.

"I heard from Lao Jiao that a family member of a female college student came to the island, so I came here to have a look. This is the first time in my life that I have seen a female college student."

After hearing this, combined with what her husband had just said, An Xin instantly understood the purpose of Yu Fengxi's visit.

She is probably what her husband calls 'someone'.

"It turns out to be Sister Yu, please come in quickly."

An Xin took a step forward and greeted him with a smile.

Yu Fengxi walked into the small courtyard with a smile. As she walked, she calmly looked at the house in front of her.

Half a month ago, this house didn't look like this.

She had chosen this house. There was no yard or kitchen here before, and the doors and windows were terribly broken.

But only half a month has passed, and this house has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First of all, there is a fence outside the door. Although it is just a simple fence made of small wooden strips, having a fence is better than having no protection at all.

Secondly, there is an additional mud stove in the yard. There are several mulberry poles standing around the stove. It seems that a shed is being built, but it has not yet been completed.

In addition, the original dilapidated doors and windows also have some signs of repair. Although they don't look very beautiful, there should be no problem in use.

'There are so many changes here.'

Yu Fengxi's eyes showed deep surprise.

'I haven't heard of anyone coming to help?'

'Did Ouyang Yi do this himself?'

After thinking about it, Yu Fengxi quickly rejected this speculation. She had read the file of 'Ouyang Yi'. He was a great scholar, how could he do such things.
