"Grandson, did those young men just now have any conflicts with the educated youth?"
Xiao Qingyang also noticed that there was something wrong with his eldest grandson's expression.
"During last year's autumn harvest, a few hooligans molested a female educated youth in a sweet potato field. When a male educated youth tried to stop them, he was also beaten by them.
Later, you held a struggle session in the village and sentenced them to one year of forced labor. If I hadn't seen them today, I would have forgotten about them."
It was New Year's Day, and Yang Baiyi saw some disgusting things, which affected his originally happy mood.
"The old branch secretary just said that they have changed now. As long as they don't do it again, let it go."
Xiao Qingyang carefully looked at his eldest grandson's expression.
Ever since he learned that Yang Baiyi killed Li Cheng on the farm, Xiao Qingyang no longer dared to treat his eldest grandson as an ordinary young man.
He usually smiles like a spring breeze, but when he gets angry, he really dares to kill people.
"Well, don't worry, Grandpa. I won't be impulsive. Besides, those little hooligans are not worth my anger."
The family brought the pig-killing dish back home. Muxue made a few more scallion pancakes, and the family had a simple dinner with the pig-killing dish.
The next day, an unexpected person came to visit.
"Is Doctor Yang home?"
Xue Gui shouted from the yard.
"I'm here! Captain Xue, are you feeling unwell?"
Xue Gui never visited Yang Baiyi before, so he thought he was here to get medicine.
"No, I'm not feeling unwell anywhere, Doctor Yang. I'm here to ask for your help."
Xue Gui took out a stack of red paper from his cotton-padded jacket.
Last year, Xue Gui was so envious of the Spring Festival couplets posted on the doors of the team leader and the old branch secretary that he decided to get ahead of the team leader this year.
"Writing Spring Festival couplets, right? Come in quickly, my family hasn't written them yet either."
Yang Baiyi invited Xue Gui into the main room.
After learning about Xue Gui's purpose, Xiao Qingyang did not refuse and immediately asked Xiao Fuxing to start grinding.
Writing Spring Festival couplets is not a difficult task for Xiao Qingyang. After changing his career, Xiao Qingyang has been relying on practicing calligraphy and playing chess to eliminate the bloodthirsty and murderous genes in his body. After persisting for many years, he has made great achievements in calligraphy and chess.
While Xiao Fuxing was grinding ink, Xiao Qingyang lit a cigarette and organized some sentences in his mind that were in line with the current theme.
By the time Xiao Fuxing had ground the ink and spread the red paper on the table, Xiao Qingyang was almost ready.
Picking up the brush, several couplets appear on the paper.
The handwriting is vigorous and vigorous, and it is very vivid.
"Captain Xue, come and pick out a few pairs."
Xiao Qingyang put down the brush.
"Grandpa, anything is fine. Your handwriting is so beautiful."
Xue Gui didn't know many words to begin with, and he couldn't even recognize all the characters on the Spring Festival couplets, so he couldn't pick any.
After expressing his gratitude profusely, Xue Gui happily returned to the brigade headquarters with two pairs of Spring Festival couplets.
"Captain Xue, what did you take? The commune doesn't seem to have issued any notices in the past few days!"
When Chen Baiwang saw the red paper Xue Gui was holding, he thought he was going to post some notice.
"Captain, these are the Spring Festival couplets I asked Dr. Yang's grandfather to write.
Last year you and the old Party Secretary got there first, and you wouldn’t give it to me when I asked for it, so this year I’m going to ask for it myself.”
Xue Gui proudly shook the rolled-up Spring Festival couplets in his hand.
"Bring it here for us to see. You, Xue Gui, may look honest, but you are actually full of tricks.
You went to ask for Spring Festival couplets without informing us. We went to ask for two too!"
Accountant Xu reached out and snatched the Spring Festival couplets from Xue Gui's hand, and quickly opened it to admire it.
"Old Xu, these are two paintings. Please don't mess them up. If you do, I won't know which two are a pair."
Xue Gui shouted anxiously.
"You are so good, Xue Gui. I didn't give you Spring Festival couplets last year, but you actually remembered them for a whole year."
Chen Dahe scolded with a smile.
"Uncle Dahe, I was just wondering how to find Doctor Yang to explain Er Laizi's release. Isn't this a ready-made excuse?
Let's grab two bottles of wine and some red paper and go find Uncle Xiao to write the couplets! And explain the situation while we're at it."
Yesterday, Chen Dahe said that Yang Bai was a little unhappy when he saw Er Laizi, and Chen Baiwang immediately became worried and didn't sleep well all night.
Someone had just delivered six big wild boars to the production team, and just after dividing the meat, he saw a few guys who made him upset. No one would be happy.
Early this morning, Chen Baiwang wanted to take Chen Dahe to Yang Baiyi's house to explain, but just going there seemed too deliberate.
Just when he was feeling annoyed, the Spring Festival couplets in Xue Gui's hand gave Chen Baiwang inspiration.
"Alright then, it's time to explain. Don't make Doctor Yang feel uncomfortable."
It was the end of the year, and the commune issued some receipts to each production team, among which there happened to be a few wine tickets.
Chen Baiwang took out two wine tickets, went to the sales outlet to buy two bottles of Fenjiu, and went to Yang Baiyi's house with Chen Dahe.
"Captain, old Party Secretary, I knew you were coming soon. I didn't even clean up the writing brushes and ink on the table."
Xiao Qingyang gave each of them a cigarette.
"Captain, come if you want. Didn't I tell you not to bring alcohol in from now on?"
Yang Baiyi took the two bottles of wine and placed them on the table.
"The commune issued a few wine tickets. We originally wanted to buy some wine for Uncle Xiao. We usually drink sweet potato wine without wine tickets."
Seeing that Yang Baiyi didn't seem angry, Chen Baiwang felt relieved.
Xiao Qingyang wrote a few couplets for the brigade headquarters and Chen Baiwang's family, and then asked Xiao Fuxing to pack up the pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Chen Baiwang, Chen Da and Xiao Qingyang drank tea and played chess, and never mentioned Er Laizi's matter.
They wanted to explain it later while they were drinking. They thought Dr. Yang wouldn't be too angry while they were drinking.
Around noon, Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru went to the kitchen to prepare a few dishes.
Naturally, lunch was divided into two tables. Mu Xue took Lin Wanru and the little girl to eat at the kang table, while Xiao Qingyang and his two grandparents and grandchildren accompanied Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe to drink.
"Doctor Yang, there is something I need to explain to you."
After drinking almost all the wine, Chen Baiwang started a conversation.
"Is it about Er Laizi and the Fifth Girl?
Normally, when the two of them came over, they would need to be persuaded several times before they would have dinner at home. Today, they did not take the initiative to leave, so Yang Baiyi knew that they must have something to say.
"Yes, they were sent to reform because they had conflicts with the educated youth. Logically, we should inform the educated youth compound after their release.
But after all, what they did at the time was very bad, especially causing great psychological trauma to Comrade He Yingying. Speaking of this matter specifically will inevitably cause secondary harm.
So we suppressed it at the time and did not inform the Youth League Compound and Dr. Yang immediately.
But we are not doing nothing. Lai Zi, Wu Guiniao and others have been under the surveillance of the militia since they came back.
If they still refuse to repent and continue to cause trouble in the village, the production team will not forgive them even without Doctor Yang's intervention."
Chen Baiwang said this with a sincere face and an earnest tone.
