Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 113
Yang Jun then went to the second uncle Liu Haizhong to discuss it and asked him to give priority to ensuring the banquet for the guests. As for those people in the yard, they could arrange the last seats.

When the second uncle heard that guests from the woman's family were coming, he immediately became excited. He had long heard that Yang Jun's daughter-in-law was not simple, with a profound background and a lot of background.

The biggest leader he has ever seen is the director of the steel rolling mill. He has never seen such a big leader. He is lucky enough to see him today. How can he not be excited?
The second uncle waved his hand and said directly that there was no problem, and even said that it would be okay if no one in the courtyard was allowed to sit.

Yang Jun arranged the banquet and came to the gate of the compound again, where he wanted to greet the guests.

At this time, two ragged men came to the door. They looked like a father and son.

The elder was an old man in his 40s, with a sheep's belly scarf wrapped on his head and a robe draped over his shoulders. There was something bulging in the robe, and he didn't know what was inside.

The other was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. His face was dark due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the plateau all year round. When he smiled, his honest face revealed two rows of white teeth.

The two people stood at the door of the courtyard, looking nervously into the courtyard. They looked at each other, and they seemed to want to find someone to inquire about something.

"Are you two here for a wedding?"

Seeing that they refused to leave and didn't want to enter the yard, Yang Jun had no choice but to step forward and ask.

Everyone who comes here is a guest, and you cannot treat them differently just because they are wearing rags.

Whose family doesn’t have a few poor relatives?

The older man looked Yang Jun up and down and saw that he was wearing a clean tunic suit with a big red flower on his chest, so he boldly asked,

"Are you...jun'er?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he was stunned and couldn't react.

The title 'Jun'er' is a bit unfamiliar, but it feels a bit cordial. No one around him has ever called him that. Even his mother, Wang Yuying, is called 'Jun'er, Jun'er'.

The person who could call him that must be an elder in his family. Yang Jun recalled it carefully, and he did not remember that there were other elders in his family.

"I am Yang Jun, you are..."

When the uncle heard this, he grinned with yellow teeth and said, "Jun'er, I am your second uncle. Don't you remember me?"

Yang Jun was confused: "Second uncle?"

"It's normal if you don't remember. I hugged you when you were little. You were only so tall then."

The man who called himself Uncle Yang Jun showed his height with his hands as he spoke.

Yang Jun racked his brains and couldn't remember that there was such a second uncle. When he was young, he heard his father say that he was the eldest son in the family and his hometown was Shanxi. As for who else in the family, Yang Gui didn't mention it. Later, Yang Jun went to school. When you join the army, you know even less about things at home.

When Yang Jun was not sure how to distinguish the true from the false, the 'second uncle' in front of him suddenly lit up his eyes and waved happily behind Yang Jun.

"Sister-in-law, here, here, I am Yang Dong."

Wang Yuying was entertaining the female guests with a beaming face at this time. Suddenly she saw someone waving to her and calling her sister-in-law. She was stunned.

When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she suddenly said excitedly,

"Xiaodong, are you here?"

As soon as Wang Yuying started calling "Xiaodong", she immediately realized something was wrong.

Looking at the man in front of me, the young man who was once in his prime is now gray on his temples, and his hard and straight body has become rickety.

The unmarried young man back then has now become an old man with a family full of children and grandchildren.

Wang Yuying lamented: "His second uncle, you are getting old too."

Yang Dao's honest and honest face from the countryside chuckled and said: "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, after more than 20 years, I must be old."

"Junzi, come here quickly, this is your second uncle."

Wang Yuying quickly introduced it to Yang Jun.

"Second uncle."

Yang Jun shouted respectfully.Yang Dong responded happily and quickly introduced the young man beside him to them.

"This is Yang Anguo, the second youngest son of our family. He is naive and cowardly. Please call someone quickly."

Yang Anguo called out shyly.

"Mom."

"Brother Junzi."

The 'aunt' here is a unique title in Shanxi. It is very different from the one, two, and three aunts we usually call. Only people in your own family can be called 'mother', and others are called aunt. .

At first glance, Yang Anguo looks like the kind of person who comes from the countryside. He is shy and shy. He has been hiding behind his father Yang Dong. If Yang Dong hadn't greeted him to talk, he would have thought he was a girl.

Wang Yuying led the father and son to the backyard and asked them about the situation along the way.

"His second uncle, when did he arrive?"

"I arrived yesterday afternoon."

Wang Yuying was stunned and said displeasedly: "I arrived yesterday afternoon, why did I come here so early this morning?"

Yang Dong looked at his second son Yang Anguo next to him, scratched his head, smiled, and said with some embarrassment,

"Sister-in-law, after I received your letter, Erwazi and I hurried here. However, the road from the train station to your alley is difficult to find. Erwazi and I searched for several hours before we found this place. .

"When we arrived, the courtyard was already closed, so we didn't have the nerve to disturb you, so we spent the night outside the courtyard."

Yang Jun was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously blurted out: "Did you spend the night outside?"

Yang Jun looked at the father and son up and down. They were wearing old sheepskin jackets and high-waist trousers. They were not much warmer than others.

The corners of his mouth twitched, he couldn't believe that the father and son spent the night together.

He had to admit that these were a pair of tough men who dared to challenge Dongye in Forty-Nine City.

He had to admire them. It was the blessing of his Yang family ancestors that he didn't freeze to death.

Yang Dong didn't understand the meaning of his words, and he patted his chest and said indifferently,
"It's a joke. It's really cold where we are. Just after we got off the train, Erwazi and I went down to the river to take a bath."

"Tsk tsk."

Yang Jun had to admire his second uncle. He was a really strong man who dared to face the bleak life.

No, no, dare to face it...

Dare for what?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as you know that his second uncle and uncle are really strong men.

Yang Jun knew that they must have not eaten after spending the night outside the courtyard, so he returned to the front yard and asked Sha Zhu to prepare a basin of mutton soup, and then returned to the backyard with ten white-flour steamed buns.

Yang Dong and his son were a little embarrassed at first, but later Wang Yuying pretended to be angry, and they started to use chopsticks.

The father and son seemed to have not eaten for half a month. One of them grabbed two white flour buns, broke them into pieces, and soaked them in the mutton soup. Then they picked up the big bowl and started eating them.

In less than two minutes, ten white flour steamed buns and a large pot of mutton soup were gone.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jun and Wang Yuying looked at each other, as if they were starving to death.

I wonder if they have had enough to eat in all these years?

Is the amount of grain allocated to the production team each year enough to eat?
A family of two kids, plus the older one and the younger one, can’t survive until the end of the year even if they eat half a year’s food and half a year’s food.

Yang Jun wanted to get some more food, but Yang Dong refused to let him go, saying that white-flour steamed buns were expensive and no matter how much he ate, he would never be full, so he just had to taste them.

Yang Jun didn't force it, just eat something to cushion your stomach first. Don't overeat on an empty stomach for such a long time. Anyway, you have to sit down at the table later.
