Saying that, the old man came into the east house with his hands behind his back, Jiang Erhe said a few words to his mother-in-law, and then went into the warehouse, took out a bottle of wine that he hadn't drunk during the New Year and went to the east house.

Stewed mutton and radish soup for dinner, big thick cakes, boiled fungus soaked in ginger foam, blanched and mixed with onions, and a large bowl of dried pigweed.

There were only Jiang Erhe and the old man in the east room, everyone else was eating on the small table in the stove room, the big Zhang Nan was able to eat by himself, but he was still careful, Jiang Momo picked a piece of ribs, put a piece of lean meat in his bowl, and gave a bowl of mutton soup and radishes, and gave a piece of cut cake, Zhang Nan hurriedly said: "Thank you, aunt!"

The remaining two small ones don't remember much, they only know that there are delicious ones, and they have already gnawed on the mutton bones given by Yao Huazhi, Jiang Momo ate them, holding two small mutton soup over and over again, feeding them from time to time, and then giving Sai a bite of cake.

On the side of the East House, the father and son drank wine and ate a piece of meat, and then Old Man Jiang took a breath and said: "I don't bother to say, what brothers, what unity, who is protected, they all think that I am eccentric, only one, and I can't do anything that hurts my brother's life." ”

Jiang Erhe really didn't expect that Old Man Jiang could say such a thing today.

Old Man Jiang took another sip of wine, smacked his lips and said: "When people are old, they hope that the whole family will be peaceful, and I hope that your brothers will be united, but the ten fingers are not the same length, and I can't shut you up, the boss is conceited and stupid, and he is all grandfather's person, how can I teach him?"

Jiang Erhe filled it up for his father, and poured himself a glass of wine, it turned out that his father had always known that his heart was sour.

Old man Jiang patted his son on the shoulder: "Among the children, you are the most loyal, but Dad always makes you feel wronged, Dad thinks that you are honest, you understand us, but let this come and go, just let out such a fool, okay, you can do it in the future!"

Jiang Erhe drank a lot this night, looking at his father who was sleeping on the side, he couldn't tell the feeling in his heart, there was relaxation, sourness, and relief.

The next day, everyone seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday, and the old man got up in the morning, drank a big bowl of thick mutton soup, ate a piece of bread, and went back.

Within two days, Jiang Dashan couldn't help it, and said directly in the brigade office: "Jiang Erhe, those three children are not your own children, or your relatives entrust you to take care of them, whether they are lost or who doesn't want them, then they have to be managed and arranged by our brigade, you can't just let them be raised at home!"

Jiang Erhe drew a grid on the bound account book, this is the method of entering the account that his youngest daughter Momo came up with before, it is simple and easy to use, but it is not cost-effective to print it at this point, he can only draw it himself according to the model designed by his daughter.

Hearing the eldest brother say this, Jiang Erhe said lightly: "What does the captain want to do? You also said it yourself, it may be that someone's lost child is, I listen to what you mean, are you planning to give away other people's children? Don't say that you are a captain now, you are now a county magistrate, and you can't do this!"

Jiang Dashan was angry, and originally wanted to sue his father and let his father talk about the second child, who would have thought that his father would come back and pick his son and stop doing it, saying that it was all sons, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and he and his mother were old and couldn't take care of it, so let him watch it himself.

In fact, in the face of Jiang Erhe, he was panicked, this second brother is smarter than him, and he is more educated, and he is better than himself in small things, but he is the eldest brother, how can he be inferior to a younger brother.

The second brother, who could still rely on the eldest brother to suppress him, actually refused to obey, and openly confronted himself like this, for a while Jiang Dashan was angry, grabbed the broom pimple at the door and wanted to beat someone.

It's just that as soon as he picked up the broom pimple, he saw the captain of the squad running in from outside in a hurry, panting and saying: "Captain, someone from the county has come to inspect the government affairs of the team, and let all the cadres of the brigade gather together to report the situation." ”

Jiang Dashan sighed, threw the broom in his hand and went outside, just took two steps, turned his head to Jiang Erhe and said fiercely: "Second brother, let me tell you, don't rely on you to be my brother, I am the captain, I have the final say in the team!"

Jiang Erhe grinned and smiled mockingly, but you are bitter in your heart, this is still a brother, the boss really treats himself as a character.

The county came to a meeting for a day, and finally asked, saying that someone had picked up three children.

Jiang Erhe hurriedly stood up and admitted it, saying that the three children were not very good at talking, and they had explained in detail what they were wearing.

Humanity came from the county: "Well, I found a Taoist hall in the mountains before, and there are still many people practicing in the Taoist hall, which are all feudal superstitions, so we banned it and arranged all the people to settle down at the bottom of the mountain, but later I heard that three children were lost in the Taoist hall, it should be these three, that's the case, Jiang Erhe, right, the chief accountant of the three brigades?"

Jiang Erhe hurriedly responded.

The leader knocked on the table and seemed to be pondering, and after a while, he said: "Then you raise it first, don't mess with others, you can raise it yourself, and then, I'll see if I can apply for some food for these three children, after all, these three children themselves are among the previous arrangements, and they have to be arranged well!"

As soon as Jiang Dashan heard what he wanted to say, he heard the leader start to praise the good management of the three brigades in their Xilingzi Village, Jiang Dashan was overjoyed, and suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.

It wasn't until the county investigation team went to the next village that he remembered that he forgot to say it, and now that Jiang Erhe has the instructions from the above leaders, the child himself can't be moved, and the three families want to adopt the child, and they also promise themselves benefits.

Especially the one with a female baby, his brother-in-law is in the tractor factory in the province, he originally wanted to settle down, and then let the brother-in-law apply for a tractor for their village, but this matter was all ruined by the second child.

It's just that Jiang Dashan was not depressed for two days, and the county issued two appointment letters.

One is for Jiang Dashan, because of his excellent work in the past three years, he was specially transferred to the township civil affairs office as the director.

At first glance, Jiang Dashan's brain was dizzy in surprise, and his eyes turned black for a while, and he almost fainted with joy.

Just looked at the other one, his face was not good-looking, and Jiang Erhe was appointed as the captain, in charge of the government affairs and armed work of the three brigades, and the post was temporarily replaced, and at the end of the year, the selection of the three brigades was passed as an important successor.

The second child took his place and became the captain?

For a while, Jiang Dashan lost his initial joy, and his heart was irritable.
