It's not a holiday now, so the train is relatively quiet. Compared to taking the train during the Chinese New Year, it's like heaven and earth. Don't be too comfortable.
Yang Guoqing and Lao Er took turns sleeping, and one of them was responsible for looking after the luggage. The two female comrades didn't have to worry about anything, just eat well and sleep well.
Moreover, Yang Liu bought a lot of food for them, so they didn't save any. They ate whenever they were hungry. This time, the car ride was not painful at all and was very comfortable.
When the train arrived in the city, they thought they were going back today and didn't have time to cook, so they each had a bowl of noodles at a noodle restaurant near the bus station. Afraid that they would not be full, Yao Caiying even went to the side and bought several meat buns.
Eat some now and save the rest for dinner tonight.
After eating and drinking, they took a car to town.
Now there are probably more people working outside the city, so there are more buses running from the city to the town. I remember there were only two before, at 10 am and 4 pm.
They arrived just in time, as they arrived just in time for the train to depart.
In the car, they were swaying all the way, sometimes sleeping and sometimes awake, and it felt like they arrived in a short while.
When I got off the bus, I was a little dazed when I saw the scene in front of me.
Compared with the original one, the bus station has expanded a lot and some facilities have been replaced. Now it looks like a newly built one and is no longer dilapidated.
In the past, to get from the town to the village, you either had to walk back, ride a bike or take a ride. Now there is a bus, and although there are not many trips, it is still very convenient.
They took the bus. Although it did not go directly to the village, it only took about ten minutes to walk from the bus stop to the village. Compared with the previous walk that took more than two hours, it was simply a blessing.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the village. Everyone was probably busy in the fields. Yang Guoqing said that he would go back to put his things away first, and then tidy up the house. After all, he would be staying at home for a few days.
After opening the door, he found that the yard was quite clean. Apart from the dust, there were no weeds. This meant that Uncle Tao would come to clean it from time to time. Yang Guoqing felt quite relieved. It seemed that it was a correct decision to leave the key to the house to Uncle Tao and ask him to help look after the house.
Yao Caiying was a very efficient person. As soon as she got home, she put her things down, fetched water and wrung out a towel to clean the house and the kitchen, leaving the rest for tomorrow. Then she urged her husband to go to her eldest brother's house and then to find the village chief.
She always remembered their mission this time.
She will always feel uneasy if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible.
Yang Laosan is a time bomb. If it is not handled properly, it might explode and hurt others and himself.
When they went there, it was almost time to go home for dinner. As soon as they reached Tian Shouyi's house, they saw him coming back from the field carrying a hoe.
When Yang Liu bought them food, she also bought a pack of Lao Qianmen cigarettes. Whenever Yang Guoqing saw people who usually smoked, he would give one to them out of courtesy.
The people who worked in the village also came back one after another. When they saw the Yang brothers coming back, they all gathered around them and started to complain and grumble.
Yang Guoqing didn't know the truth of the matter at the moment, so he didn't know what to say.
Seeing everyone talking and making a lot of noise, Tian Shouyi finally shouted, "Alright, everyone, be quiet for a while. Now that the two brothers are back, there's a solution to Yang Lao San's problem. When it's your turn to speak, speak one by one."
Yang Guoqing knew that the village chief was sincere in helping his family resolve this difficult situation. Seeing that the village chief had guaranteed them, he immediately stood up and stated his position: "Don't worry, fellow villagers. We two brothers came back this time specifically to resolve the issue of the third brother. When the time comes, we will definitely give everyone an explanation."
The villagers knew that their Yang family was now very successful. Not only had all the family members moved to Shanghai, but they had also settled down there. Moreover, Yang Guoqing had been a soldier after all, so his words still had some deterrent power. Seeing that he agreed to this, the others didn't say anything.
Tian Shouyi pointed at a villager and said, "Go and call Yang Laosan over."
It's dinner time now, and he's probably out and about eating again.
It's not appropriate for the men to gossip and ask about this and that at this moment.
But it's harmless for women to talk to each other.
Yao Caiying took Aunt Dagen from the village and praised her first, because she knew that her family had responded to the policy and had fenced off a piece of land on the back mountain to feed dozens of goats. They sold mutton during the Chinese New Year every year, and it was said that they made a lot of money.
When Aunt Dagen saw that someone as quick and capable as Yao Caiying started to praise her, she felt so sweet in her heart that she smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
As they chatted, they turned to the gossip in the village, and the topic finally came to Yang Laosan.
Aunt Dagen is a pretty down-to-earth person. They have lived together in the same village for decades, so Yao Caiying knows everyone's personality. Since what Aunt Dagen said is similar to what the village chief said in the letter, it means that Yang Laosan has indeed done a lot of bad things, and the villagers did not wrongly accuse him.
With this foundation, she will know how to deal with it when negotiating with others later.
Almost an hour later, Yang Laosan came staggering over with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. Although he looked like a nobody now, his hair was still combed shiny and it was obvious that he had smeared his hair with saliva a lot.
Seeing his elder and second brothers standing there, he just glanced at them lazily, as if he didn't know them.
Tian Shouyi couldn't bear to watch it anymore and sneered, "Yang Laosan, are you blind? These are your elder and second brothers who came back specifically to deal with your problem."
Yang Lao San pursed his lips, looking nonchalant, and said sarcastically, "He's living a life of luxury in the big city now, how could he still remember a poor brother like me?"
Yao Caiying was furious when she saw him looking so lifeless. She put her hands on her hips and was about to come out and argue with her, but was stopped by Li Qiuhe. She shook her head at her and whispered, "Caiying, don't be impatient. There's no point in arguing with someone like that."
Yang Junqing didn't tolerate it this time. Seeing that he had done something wrong and not only did he not repent, but also acted righteously, he directly scolded him: "If you have the ability, you can also eat and drink well. If you don't have the ability, then keep your tail between your legs and stop showing off and cheating here."
