Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 782 The second uncle is obsessed with officialdom
"Is the investigation clear?"

Yang Jun squatted on a steep slope in front of the old house, with a pile of cigarette butts at his feet.

"Brother, the investigation has been completed."

Ma Juzi stood upright behind Yang Jun and said with a solemn expression: "Tie Dan went to the commune to treat the cattle of the production team. He hasn't been back for three days. Fourth sister was indeed with Tiedan last night. I slept with my mother."

This matter can only be investigated by Ma Juzi.

Luo Xiaojun is a stranger, so it is not convenient for investigation.

Tiedan's father died a long time ago, leaving the two of them to depend on each other. Tiedan was a breeder in the production team. A few days ago, the old scalper in the team fell ill, so he drove the cow dozens of kilometers away. The veterinary station was treating the cow. Maybe it was because the bull's condition was more complicated. The people at the veterinary station suggested that he should be observed for another two days, so he has been staying at the veterinary station these days.

As for why Yang Yu stayed at Tie Dan's house, it was because the two had known each other when they were young. Yang Yu had gone to visit him to catch up with him, but she happened to find Tie Dan not at home, so she took advantage of the situation and asked to stay over.

"Brother, are you too nervous?"

Ma Juzi squatted next to Yang Jun: "This kind of thing is too normal in rural areas. There is not enough room at home, so it is common to stay at a neighbor's house."

"Can that be the same?"

Yang Jun glared and said: "We are outsiders, unfamiliar with the place, and it is easy for others to gossip about us."

"Brother, you really think too much. Everyone in the village understands this. Moreover, if you hadn't educated Fourth Sister, no one would have known about this matter."

"You mean to blame me?"

"That's not true. After all, it's wrong for Fourth Sister to stay overnight without your permission. You should be taught a lesson."

Yang Jun lit another cigarette, took two puffs, and blew out the smoke in his mouth.

"Let's stop this matter. Don't spread it randomly."

"Got it, brother."

Although this incident was a false alarm, what Yang Yu did was indeed inappropriate, and a lesson was necessary.

Therefore, Yang Jun immediately sent Yang Yu back to Sijiu City.

This girl was not one to worry. Yang Jun was afraid that if she stayed for another two days, she might cause some trouble for him.

"You go back first and let me be alone." Yang Jun said.

"Okay, brother, just wave if you need anything, I can be there at any time."

"Ah."

After Ma Juzi left, Yang Jun simply lay down on the grass on the slope. The soft green grass exuded the fragrant grass fragrance, making people temporarily forget the troubles in the world.

Unconsciously, Yang Jun's eyelids gradually became heavy.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, there were rustling footsteps behind him.

He didn't even raise his head and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

"husband……"

Yi Qiushui called out and sat down on the grass next to him.

Yang Jun didn't open his eyes and just said 'hmm', but he could feel that there was someone else on the other side of his body.

"Husband, is that really what happened?" Yi Qiushui asked.

"It's all investigated."

Yang Jun closed his eyes and said with a tired look: "Fourth sister is indeed staying overnight. That tough guy went to the commune and didn't come back for a few days."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Yang Jun suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wang Yuying patting her chest constantly, as if she was weightless.

"Mom, your son is unfilial and makes you worry."

Yang Jun comforted.

Wang Yuying smiled bitterly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's my fault as a mother for not educating my children well. If I didn't indulge them, things like today wouldn't happen."

"You did the right thing. It's not too late for Mom to thank you. How can I blame you?"

"Yu'er has really behaved badly these past few years. It's time to discipline her."

Yang Jun sighed and said: "Mom, the fourth sister is quite sensible, but sometimes she is too willful, so don't worry too much."

Seeing Wang Yuying's guilty look, Yang Jun could only put in a good word for Yang Laosi.

"Jun'er, why don't you find a husband for Yu'er as soon as you return to the city?" Wang Yuying said.

As soon as this word comes out.

Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui were immediately stunned.

Yang Jun smiled and said: "Mom, why do you think it's all happening?"

"Fourth sister is not yet 16 years old. She is still a child. Are you willing to let her get married so early?"

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you're married. Once something like that happens, won't we, the old Yang family, be the losers?"

Wang Yuying: "Then...what do you think we should do?"

"Just be tight," Yang Jun said.

Yi Qiushui advised from the side: "Mom, the fourth sister is too young and is still in school. It is indeed a bit early to talk about this matter now."

"How early? Anyone her age would have gotten married long ago. That means her family's conditions are good. Otherwise, whose daughter would still not get married at such an old age?" Wang Yuying said.

"Mom, this matter is not urgent. Let's wait until she finishes studying." Yi Qiushui said.

Wang Yuying sighed: "This child is spoiled."

"By the way, Jun'er, if your second uncle and second mother want to ask what happened, don't let anything slip."

Yang Jun looked at her in astonishment.

Yi Qiushui explained: "The second mother has been asking what happened just now, but our mother fooled her. When you meet them later, be sure not to spill the beans. Our fourth sister still needs to be a human being."

The routines in rural areas are really deep, trivial things spread all over the place, and the family also likes to fight among themselves.

The second uncle's room is eager for something to happen to their room so that they can laugh at it.

Yang Jun sighed and said, "After grandpa goes to the ground, we should hurry up and return to the city."

"Who says it isn't? Every day seems like a year to me." Wang Yuying said.

"Okay, Mom, just hold on for two more days. When grandpa gets off the ground, we will go back to the city. This time we will take a plane back, so we don't have to suffer from the long distance."

"Okay, Mom has never flown on a plane in her life, and this time she will benefit from the glory of my family's soldiers." Wang Yuying said with a smile.

……

Grandpa will go to the field early tomorrow morning. Today is a business day. After breakfast, guests started to come to express their condolences.

His father was gone, and Yang Jun had to take on the responsibility of being the eldest son for him. After breakfast, he stayed at the mourning hall. He lowered his filial piety hat, burned paper with his head lowered, and didn't say hello to anyone who came. Anyway, He didn't know these people either.

The second uncle is a filial son, responsible for keeping watch over the deceased, and also goes out to greet guests from time to time.

Sometimes neighbors from neighboring villages would come to express their condolences, and he would have to chat with them for a while.

Yang Jun didn't care about him, as long as he kept the fire in the brazier alive.

His goddaughters, godsons, brothers and sisters all crowded inside the mourning hall, and everyone knelt there with solemn faces.

"Great leadership, great leadership."

Yang Jun was lost in thought when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Looking up, it turned out that Tang Hezhang was here.

At this moment, he was dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling in front of his grandfather's soul, and kowtowed respectfully.

Yang Jun frowned deeply when he saw this.

This outfit, coupled with this etiquette, seems to be something only close relatives are qualified to do.

Yang Jun was a little unhappy about this.

Moreover, he repeatedly told him not to disturb him. Now his behavior made Yang Jun feel a little disgusted.

"I'm not telling you..."

Before Yang Jun could finish speaking, Tang Hezhang interrupted.

"Hey, I'm the only one here, no one else is here."

After saying that, he smiled at Yang Jun.

Yang Jun opened and closed his lips, but swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

The visitor is a guest, and the person has good intentions, so he can't show off his face.

Turning around, he called Yang Anguo to him.

"Take good care of Secretary Tang."

Yang Anguo glanced at him, then raised his hand,
"Secretary Tang, please come this way."

Then, the two went to the outer room.

After they left, second uncle Yang Dong, who was kneeling opposite, stretched his head and asked,
"Jun'er, who is Secretary Tang?"

Yang Jun was startled, then said: "Are you still the director of our commune?"

"Yes, I'm the director of our commune. I'm sure it's true."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't meet him when you went to the county for a meeting?"

Yang Dong thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Is he just..."

Yang Dong patted his thigh sadly and said, "Look at you kid, Secretary Tang is here, why don't you say hello?"

After saying that, he got up and ran outside.

Yang Jun saw this and shook his head.

With this kind of emotional intelligence, I don’t know how he became the director?
I don't know what he was thinking when he refused to hug such a thick thigh and had to flatter Tang Hezhang's thin arms.

At this time, Xiao Wu suddenly rushed behind him and climbed to Yang Jun's side, and looked at Yang Dong's back.

He shook his head and said with disdain: "Godfather, do you think the second grandpa is out of his mind..."

Yang Jun didn't wait for him to finish speaking and gave him a big blow.

"You can tell the elders what children are talking nonsense about."

"Godfather, I'm married and no longer a child."

After saying that, he turned back and glanced at his wife Yin Fang.

Yang Jun rolled his eyes: "Then don't talk about your second grandfather behind your back."

No matter what the second uncle did, he didn't want Xiaowu and the others to interact with him. After settling his grandfather's funeral, he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

However, Xiao Wu and Yin Fang had just gotten married a month ago, and they had people here, so they felt a little bit indebted.

So he turned back to Yin Fang and said, "Yin Fang, my godfather has been too busy recently and didn't even attend your wedding. Don't blame your godfather."

After hearing this, Yin Fang quickly knelt and walked a few steps this way.

"Godfather, please don't say that. You have a lot of things to do every day. As juniors, we will not pick you to take care of it. Godfather, you have done enough for us, and we don't dare to distract you anymore."

Yang Jun nodded after hearing this.

Not to mention, children from poor families are mature and do not need to be taught about worldliness.

To be honest, Yang Jun is still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

"Well, kid, you are interested."

Yang Jun said: "By the way, how is your work going?"

Yin Fang said: "Oh, I forgot to tell my godfather. My second aunt has transferred me to the steel rolling mill, and now I am the deputy section chief of the purchasing department."

When she mentioned work, Yin Fang's face was full of excitement.

If it weren't for Yang Jun, she wouldn't have dared to think about what Tigan did.

Her father, Yin Rongxian, had been working as a section chief all his life. She was promoted immediately as soon as she was transferred to the steel rolling mill, and she was also the deputy section chief of the purchasing department.

When Lao Wei retired, his daughter Wei Ni took over the position of section chief, leaving the position of deputy section chief vacant, which happened to be filled by Yin Fang.

"Purchasing Department?" Yang Jun muttered, then looked at Yang Mei.

Yang Mei smiled and explained: "Brother, are you satisfied with my arrangement?"

"The Purchasing Department is the geomantic treasure of our old Yang family. You have worked in the Purchasing Department, and I have also worked in the Purchasing Department, so I brought Yin Fang to the Purchasing Department."

Yang Mei said with a beaming expression, with an expression on her face that said, "please come and praise me."

When Yang Jun saw this, he shook his head and smiled.

Even though he is such a big man, he still has the same nature as a child.

"Okay, it's good."

Yang Jun turned around and said to Yin Fang: "Work hard and I will take over your aunt's class in the future."

"Thank you godfather."

Yin Fang said happily.

Before being transferred to the steel rolling mill, she had inquired about the situation clearly. Yang Mei would be the director of the steel rolling mill in the future, and today Yang Jun wanted her to take over Yang Mei's shift. That is to say, She will also be the director of a steel rolling mill in the future.

It was unthinkable for a woman to be a factory director before, but now that her dream was about to become a reality, she couldn't be happier.

For Yang Jun, as long as it is his family, he will never treat them badly. Not only will he not treat them badly, but he will also provide strong support.

He understands the principle that the fat does not go to outsiders, but the meat rots in the pot. These people will be his help in the future, so of course he will not hesitate to promote them.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

At this time, Yang Liu suddenly ran over from behind.

Yang Jun saw this and waved his hand: "I don't want to hear or take care of your affairs. You can handle it yourself."

Yang Jun didn't have a good look on Yang Liu.

It stands to reason that among these younger brothers and sisters, who is the best to her, probably Yangliu.

Since Yang Jun came back from his job, he has taken good care of her, including getting her into the art troupe, finding her a good husband, a job, a house, gold bars, etc. This girl is like a white-eyed wolf. After getting married, the number of times she went back to her parents' home could be counted on one's fingers. If her grandfather hadn't died of illness this time, this girl wouldn't have shown up.

However, this time it was not bad, she and her husband Wang Tao actually came back to attend the funeral.

"Brother, am I still your sister?" Yang Liu said coquettishly, holding Yang Jun's arm.

"When something goes wrong, we are brothers and sisters, and when nothing goes wrong, we are strangers." Yang Jun said with a straight face.

"elder brother……"

Yang Jun lectured with a straight face: "This is the mourning hall, you kneel back to your place."

He knew this sister too well.

With his current appearance, he must be looking for something.

Girls from other families never forget their parents' family after they get married, but she is not only not forgetting her parents' family, but she is always thinking about it. Whenever something happens to the Wang family, she will go back to her parents' house to recruit reinforcements.

If Yang Liu wasn't his sister, Yang Jun really wouldn't want to talk to her.

"elder brother……"

Yang Jun lowered his head to burn the paper and ignored her.

Seeing this, Yang Liu could only kneel back to his original position angrily.

At this time, it was already past noon, and people who came to express their condolences in the yard began to serve their meals one after another.

At this time, it was time for Yang Jun to take a step back.

After kneeling for such a long time, Yang Jun's legs were sore and he almost fell when he stood up. Fortunately, he was supported by Jiang Haitao.

"Boss, the food has been bought. Look..." Jiang Haitao said in a low voice.

Yang Jun said: "Send it to Madam."

Yi Qiushui couldn't get used to the simple meals cooked at home, so Jiang Haitao went to the town to buy it for her.

"Madam is already waiting for you next door."

Yang Jun looked back at the people in the mourning hall, and then whispered: "Let's go."

He didn't want to do anything special, but after thinking about it, he might as well forget it. There was no need for him to act pretentious here. He couldn't be at a disadvantage when he was away from home.

Afterwards, the two went to the cave dwelling next door.

After Yang Jun entered, Jiang Haitao closed the door behind his back and personally guarded the outside.

"Are you still used to eating?"

Yang Jun took off his shoes and got on the kang, took a bowl of mutton and ate it.

There is also a stack of steamed buns on the table, which I break open and soak in.

"Yeah, it's pretty good."

While Yi Qiushui ate, she teased the child in Sun Zhaodi's arms.

I only bought four bowls of mutton soup. Wang Yuying was not here, so he and Yi Qiushui and Sun Zhaodi had one bowl each, and the remaining bowl also belonged to Sun Zhaodi.

With so many people in his family, he couldn't guarantee that everyone could eat mutton steamed buns, so he could only force them to eat from a big pot.

"The little guy enjoyed the meal very much. He didn't feel bad at all." Yang Jun said.

Yang Chengdao was sitting in Sun Zhaodi's arms, chewing mutton in his mouth, his cheeks were oily and very cute.

The little guy looks like Yi Qiushui, with very white skin and a faint masculinity between his eyebrows. If nothing else happens, he will definitely be a handsome man who will charm thousands of girls in the future.

"He only likes Zhaodi, and he can eat whatever Zhaodi feeds him," Yi Qiushui said.

When Sun Zhaodi heard this, he laughed.

"My younger brother likes me the most. He won't eat when others feed him."

"is it?"

Yang Jun didn't believe it, so he took a piece of fat mutton and tried it.

Just when the little guy was about to open his mouth, he saw that he was feeding the wrong person and immediately turned his little face to one side.

"Did you see that? He doesn't eat what others feed him."

Yi Qiushui sighed: "Even I, as a mother, sometimes refuse to feed him anything, which makes me miserable."

"That's not good. My son has to have personality. It wouldn't be safe if he eats everything." Yang Jun said.

"Yes, just spoil him. You two have the same moral character and are very picky about food." Yi Qiushui complained.

"Well, this is the personality that a man from our old Yang family should have." Yang Jun teased the child.

This move made Yi Qiushui roll her eyes repeatedly.

"Zhao Di, my godmother can't finish the meal, so I'll give you half."

Seeing that Sun Zhaodi didn't have enough to eat, Yi Qiushui poured half a bowl of mutton soup for her.

"Godmother, I've had enough." Sun Zhaodi said with a blushing face.

"What's enough?"

Yi Qiushui said angrily: "If others don't know how much you eat, how can your godmother know?"

"Your godfather is the only outsider here, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

When Yang Jun heard this, his head turned black.

What do you mean, I am an outsider, how can I talk?

"Zhao Di, if you're sorry, your godfather can go out first."

"No, godfather, we are all family, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Okay, you can eat this bowl too."

Yang Jun pointed to the untouched bowl of mutton soup and said.

"Okay, godfather."

Sun Zhaodi put Yang Chengdao on the kang and let him crawl and play by himself. Then she broke all the buns in the basket and put them into the soup bowl.

As soon as the rim of the bowl was turned around his mouth, half the bowl of mutton soup went down.

When Yang Jun saw this, he was speechless.

Yi Qiushui glanced at him secretly, and Yang Jun smiled and turned his head away.

One advantage of eating with Sun Zhaodi is that you never have to worry about leftovers. No matter how much is left, she can take care of it for you.

After eating, Yang Jun returned to the mourning hall.

Except for the second uncle Yang Dong who was guarding the funeral hall, everyone in the mourning hall had gone to eat.

Yang Jun sat cross-legged on the ground and lit a cigarette.

Seeing Yang Dong looking at him, Yang Jun quickly gave him one.

Yang Dong took it and put it under his nose, sniffed it, and then clamped it on his ear.

In the past, the second uncle always thought that cigarettes were boring. He would not smoke cigarettes himself and would not accept cigarettes from others. Today was a bit unusual. When Yang Jun saw this, he knew that he was going to have something to say to him.

"Jun'er, I heard that you have given an order not to allow them to attend your grandfather's funeral?"

Yang Jun raised his eyebrows: "Second uncle, who did you listen to? When did I give such an order?"

"You didn't say that, but that's what you meant."

"No, no, no, uncle, if you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. We need to make this clear."

Yang Jun said: "Besides, I have already said that grandpa's funeral should be simple. What do you mean by inviting so many people here?"

A large number of people means excitement, Yang Jun also understands this truth, but he knows that those people have no profit and cannot afford to leave early. Do you think that favors are so easy to owe?

A funeral is just a process, why should it be so grand?
His status is very special and he must take the lead. However, his second uncle is a bit obsessed with officialdom and does not understand the overall situation at all.

If it weren't for his uncle's identity, Yang Jun would have lost face long ago.

Such emotional intelligence will get him into trouble sooner or later.

"It's all a matter of friendship, and it's a relationship between colleagues. We still have to keep face, right?"

"Oh, it's a colleague relationship, but you still want to save face?"

Yang Jun sneered: "Second uncle, how did you become the director? Don't you have any idea?"

"We are just farmers. We just farm the land according to our duties. Look at you, what have you done in the past few years?"

"I'm not talking about you, you are an official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. Who can think of Anguo or Anbang? Do you still expect to pass it on?"

After talking, Yang Dong's face turned red.

"It doesn't matter whether it is passed on or not, the main thing is that I want to carry forward our old Yang family." Yang Dong argued with a red face.

"Still carrying it forward? Count on you?"

Yang Jun sneered, turned his head to the side, and stopped paying attention to him.

The second uncle has become obsessed with officialdom and can no longer listen to other people's advice.

If we continue to talk about it, we are just playing the piano to others.

"Maybe, look at the people in our village, who doesn't act based on the face of our old Yang family? Although I don't live in the village, people in the village come to ask me for advice on big and small things. Just ask these people in the village. , who doesn’t look up to me?”

Yang Jun crossed his legs and smoked a cigarette. He listened to his second uncle's words in one ear and out the other without even thinking about them.

Just think of yourself as a person. With your nostrils turned upward, you don’t know how many people are scolding you behind your back.

"Isn't it me who got your cousin into the teaching staff?"

"I also took your Uncle Sanpao's horses and mules to the canteen of the commune guest house."

"and also……"

Second uncle Yang Dong counted his great achievements bit by bit, but Yang Jun's thoughts had already flown to Sijiu City.

The courage on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier now. After returning to the city, there is still a lot of work waiting for him to deal with. The funds in Hong Kong City need to be raised, and there are Nalan Qingmeng, Yang Qingxiang, Meng Wenya... …

A myriad of thoughts...
