Ma Liutun Team Yard.

In one of the largest rooms, a horse lantern hangs on the wall.

Under the illumination of the light, there is a large kang on the north and south sides of the room, and there is a narrow kang on the side of the door of the house along the side of the house, forming a "concave" shaped half-frame crutch kang.

This room is a place for team leaders to meet in winter, a center for members to talk about the world, and the main place to pick seeds before spring sowing.

This night, from one to seven o'clock, there were no idle people in the team courtyard, but the black kang mats in this room welcomed its guests one after another.

There are old people with long pipes, old people with cigarette rolls, old people with hands behind their backs, and young people led by Guan Youshou.

Compared with the city, Tunzi pays more attention to seniority and rules. The patriarch of Ma Lao took the lead in sitting cross-legged on the south kang, and then the distinguished guest Ye Wuye went to the kang.

followed by Old Man Zhao, Ye Dagui, and Ma Sanye, after the three of them, the old man of the Lao Ma family and the old man with a foreign surname sat on the opposite north kang one by one.

Under the kang, there are not many young people. In addition to Guan Youshou, there are also Ma Zhenzhong, who was promoted to deputy captain last year, and Zhao Chuanyuan, who took over the position of Zhao branch secretary.

There are not many people from the Guan family in the old courtyard, and there is a default custom on this occasion, and the female dependents are not allowed to come forward, so Aunt Guan, who is still wearing a plaster, does not appear.

Guan Shaokuan also brought his eldest son Guan Youfu over. As for the other two sons, they didn't come forward, and the old patriarch Ma wouldn't even ask.

It stands to reason that the Guan family is the Guan family and has nothing to do with their Ma family. Of course, if it were the Ma family, it would not be in the team courtyard tonight, but directly to the Ma family ancestral hall.

It's just that Ma Liutun now has more than a dozen outdoor surnames, in order to avoid affecting the atmosphere of their Ma family, many times the patriarch of Ma Lao and the captain of Ma Lao must come forward.

What's more, this time it was Ye Dagui who personally invited several of them to come forward, and now they have a "promising" Guan Youshou in Maliutun.

Don't look at Guan Youshou's surname Guan, but he went out from Ma Liutun, don't say whether the Ma patriarch will allow someone to deliberately drag Guan Youshou's hind legs, even the old captain will not allow it.

Guan Youshou, who was a son before, did not protest in person. Naturally, they won't do anything more, as long as they control the Guan family and don't go to the capital to make trouble.

Don't underestimate that just a Guan Youshou entered the city, and the resources he got were the old captain and the old patriarch in private.

For example, Secretary Tan, the uncle of Qi Jing's chronology that was exposed afterwards, Guan Youshou's best friend Cheng Hao, the second in command of the commune, and Guan Youshou's father-in-law Ye Wuye.

For example, when he learned about the resumption of the college entrance examination two years ago, Tunzi immediately received a large number of extremely precious review materials from Guan Youshou.

There are other things that are difficult to explain publicly. For example, Guan Youshou specially sent back the good varieties in the first few years; Guan Tianyou sent back the admission materials of major colleges and universities in the capital and provincial capitals last year; the kindness of Li Lao and the five of them to Ma Liutun, and the fact that there are more teams in the depths of Yunshan Mountain, and there are fewer wild boars going down the mountain to harm the crops, and so on.

With all the above feelings, after the evidence in the iron box that Ye Dagui took out, the old captain who was old and refined that night reacted and looked for his little nephew Ma Zhenzhong first.

After learning that Guan Youshou had no intention of being surnamed Liu, and he didn't want to recognize the biological parents who sold his son, the old captain went to the old patriarch again and muttered a good word.

Now, everyone is here.

Old Patriarch Ma glanced at the old captain.

The old captain shook his head slightly: Don't worry, let's see what the parties say first, but he still glanced meaningfully at Ma Zhenzhong, the little nephew under the kang.

Guan Youshou used his elbow to vaguely turn down and move the stool to Ma Zhenzhong in front of the table: Your uncle is looking for you again! It's up to you whether your buddy's wish can be fulfilled!

Ma Zhenzhong glanced at him knowingly, and then glanced at his eldest uncle, Captain Ma. Nodding now, he didn't want to nod again, and he twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly.

- If his uncle knew that all this had nothing to do with whether Ye Dagui would come or not, in fact, it was all in buddy's speculation, and I don't know if his uncle would break his legs.

The old captain looked at the patriarch and saw that he had no intention of speaking first, so he had to clear his throat first and look around, "I'm here tonight, I guess the big guys know what it's for." ”

Everyone nodded, and looked at Guan Shaokuan's father and son who were present, oh, no, it is said that the third child is not Guan Laozi's own son.

The old captain looked at Ye Dagui, "Brother Ye, let's start." ”

Hearing this, Ye Dagui got off the kang without saying a word, and put the iron box in his arms between the two kangs, near a desk at the door.

When he turned around, he looked at his brother-in-law who bowed his head and was silent, and when he sat back on the edge of the Nankang, he spoke, telling him about his mother-in-law, who was no longer alive, before she died.

Ye Dagui had already said this when Old Man Zhao, Old Patriarch Ma, Third Master Ma, and Old Captain Ma gathered at the Zhao family overnight.

Now he is explaining to the old people who are half-aware or unknown. After saying this, Ye Dagui talked about his purpose tonight, to let Guan Youshou go out.

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the room, and then the old people present, except for Ye Wuye and a few of them, began to talk about it, and some asked Guan Shaokuan and Guan Youshou.

Guan Youshou rubbed his face with his hands, smiled apologetically at the old people who asked him, and shook his head silently. Ask him what he thinks? Ask him if he also wants to change his surname to Liu?

He couldn't reply to these questions.

When he returned, he was not human inside or out.

Don't look at the old man of Ma Liutun and Uncle Liang now, and several old people with foreign surnames are facing him, but when he really opens his mouth, he must cut off the relationship with the old man Guan, and they may not all be facing him.

Human nature is like that.

Not to be underestimated.

Now he is in a strong position, and Guan Shaokuan is in a weak position. The time and place are favorable, and he does not have an advantage in the aspect of "harmony" now.

If something happened when the family was separated, and he proposed to break off the relationship at that time, it would be understandable. It's a pity that it was late, and I really didn't expect to take this step at the end.

"Well, here's the thing. Now, the third brother is not the flesh and blood of the elder brother, and there are also documents related to the elder brother promising to succeed the third brother to the Yue family before. ”

The old captain looked at Guan Shaokuan as he spoke, "Brother Guan, you keep your head down and keep silent, what do you think in your heart, just take advantage of this moment when the big guys are talking about it." ”

Well?

Ye Dagui looked at the old captain in surprise, and then he lowered his eyes. He's notoriously honest, but he also understands what it means to have something to say.

The retired captain of the Ma family is very prestigious in Ma Liutun, and he is considered to have killed the authenticity of the documents, and he does not give his brother-in-law a chance not to admit it.

But what do you think in your heart, tell me about it? Is it pension money, or do you want to ask any more questions...... The more I think about it, the less flavorful it is.

Shouldn't the old man's last words be followed?
