Since Yang Jun developed, the entire Hutong house has basically been bought by him.

In addition to the largest courtyard house where he lives now, most of the other houses are two-entry or one-entry, and Yang Jun picked a two-entry courtyard house for Yang Chengwu as a wedding room.

On the tenth day of the new year, Yang Jun was unable to attend Xiao Wu's wedding, and he went to the north to inspect the docks and shipyards.

It wasn't until half a month later that he returned to Sijiu City.

As soon as he got home, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After so many days outside, I didn't wash properly, and my whole body was sour.

Half an hour later, out of the bathroom.

I saw everyone looking at him with a heavy face.

"What's wrong? A sad face? ”

Yang Jun lit a cigarette and took two puffs.

"Husband......"

Yi Qiushui's lips opened and closed several times, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing this, Yang Jun suddenly had a bad thought.

"What's going on at home?" Yang Jun asked again.

"Grandpa, he'......"

Yi Qiushui didn't finish speaking, and he choked up and couldn't speak.

Yang Jun was stunned, although my eyes were red.

"When?"

"The night before yesterday."

Yi Qiushui wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Second sister, second brother-in-law, third sister and third brother-in-law, and An Guo They have already rushed over first, I don't know when you will come back, and I don't dare to call you, so ......"

"Alright, stop crying."

Yang Jun comforted: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, don't be overly sad, life still has to go on." ”

Grandpa didn't survive in the end, and his life was forever stuck at the age of eighty-eight.

Some time ago, I thought I was cured, but I didn't expect it to be just a return to the light.

Human life is like grass and trees, stubble for stubble, Yang Jun does not understand the significance of people coming to this world for decades.

Just like flowers and trees, does it mean to tell the world that it has come?

"Hey, clean up and go back tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Yang Jun went out.

A person of his status needs to report no matter where he goes.

Yang Jun went to the red wall once, and after coming out, he returned to the unit.

He first held a meeting to set a tone for the affairs in the unit, and then implemented it according to this plan, and after the meeting ended, he explained some things to Wang Erwa, and then continued to deal with official business.

"Minister, everything has been arranged, and a special car has been arranged for the plane at nine o'clock tonight."

Jiang Haitao reported to him.

As the head of a department, he has a special plane, but he rarely uses it.

There have been a lot of things going on in the ministry recently, and he can't spare too much time to waste on the road, so he has to use the special plane.

"Is the house ready?" Yang Jun asked.

"Madame said that everything is ready to go."

"Well, I'll work overtime, so I won't go home, and when it's time, you pick up your wife, and we'll go directly to a few sessions."

"Okay, leader, I'll arrange it."

He had just returned from a business trip, and there was too much backlog at hand, so he had to deal with the important things first, and wait for him to come back to talk about the rest.

In the afternoon, the secretary brought dinner, and Yang Jun simply ate it and continued to deal with the work at hand.

At eight o'clock, Jiang Haitao came over to inform him that he could leave.

Yang Jun looked at the time, and nodded to indicate that he was ready to go.

When he got out of the office, he saw Yi Qiushui with the fourth Yang Yu and the fifth Yang Huai, sitting in the outer office waiting for him.

"Husband......"

As soon as Yi Qiushui saw Yang Jun, he immediately stood up.

"Waited, huh?"

Yang Jun walked over and stroked her face.

"No, I just arrived." Iqiu waterway.

Yang Jun smiled, and then said, "Let's go, let's go a few." ”

Subsequently, the group drove towards several fields.

This time, the whole family returned to their hometown, including several of Yang Jun's goddaughters and godsons.

A family of dozens was crammed into one plane.

Except for Yang Jun, the people here are basically on a plane for the first time, and as soon as they get on the plane, they lie down in the window and chatter.

Yang Jun often went on business trips and was accustomed to flying, so he sat in a special seat and continued to deal with the official business that was not completed during the day.

Next to him sat Jiang Haitao, exchanging things at work from time to time.

When he returned to his hometown this time, it was indispensable to deal with local people, and he didn't like that kind of socializing that didn't hurt or itch, so he took Jiang Haitao with him.

The plane flew for two hours before arriving at a makeshift airfield in his hometown in Shanxi.

After getting off the plane, Yang Jun asked another secretary to take the processed documents back with the special plane, and then he got on the special car back to his hometown in the countryside.

In addition to her own family, there were also her secretary, driver, and guard, and there were about fifty people who came with Yang Jun this time.

The local department sent two minibuses and a car to pick them up, and Yang Jun got into the car and then motioned for the driver to drive.

The leader was the local secretary Tang Hezhang, who personally came to the airport to pick up Yang Jun.

"Big leader, it's already early in the morning, why don't you rest in the county seat for one night and go back early tomorrow morning?" Tang Hezhang said.

Tang Hezhang sat in the passenger seat, turned his head and talked to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun rubbed his temples with his hands, closed his eyes and said, "It was because it was dark that there was no one, so I rushed back overnight." ”

Yang Jun doesn't like to swagger through the market during the day, he just wants to go home quietly while it's dark.

"Yes, yes, the style of the big leadership is excellent, and it is worth learning from."

Tang Hezhang said: "This time, the big leader went home for the funeral, I don't know what I can do for you?" ”

"You don't have to do anything."

Yang Jun suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with a solemn expression.

"Take care of your people, and don't let people harass me."

"Yes, I will definitely restrain the people below and will never cause trouble to the big leader." Tang Hezhang assured.

"Well, you're good, I remember you, your name is Tang ......"

"Tang Hezhang."

Tang Hezhang hurriedly said.

At this time, there was a scorching light in his eyes.

In fact, Yang Jun knew that his name was Tang Hezhang, but he just pretended to forget it deliberately, in order to give Tang Hezhang hope, of course, whether this hope can be realized, only Yang Jun knows in his heart.

After all, his hometown is here, and he will inevitably be used in the future, so even if he doesn't like this person, he won't show it.

"Well, good job."

"Thank you for your appreciation."

The car drove for more than an hour before arriving at my hometown.

When I arrived, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it would be dawn in less than two hours.

It was already June, and the weather was very hot, and even in the early hours of the morning, I felt a hint of heat hitting me.

After the car stopped, Yang Jun asked Tang Hezhang to go back.

Before leaving, he repeatedly told him to restrain the people below and not let people harass him.

After sending Tang Hezhang away, Yang Jun had the time to look at the old mansion.

There are two white flags erected in front of the door, and two felt cloth sheds are supported on both sides of the door, and there are many shadows inside.

The gate of the wooden fence was open, and the lights in the middle of the cave were on, and the sound of quarrels could be faintly heard.

"Let's go inside."

Yang Jun walked in front and walked straight to the middle cave.

The closer you get to the cave, the louder the quarrel becomes, as if there is an argument about the funeral.

In the cave was a black coffin with the lid leaning next to it.

The coffin was filled with people on both sides, their faces red and their ears red as they argued about the funeral.

"Grandpa!"

Yang Jun shouted.

After taking two quick steps, Pouton knelt down.

There is no imaginary grief, and there is no false performance of crying and grabbing the ground, only the mourning of the younger generation for the elders.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Kowtowed.

Yi Qiushui and the others knelt behind Yang Jun, called grandpa, and then kowtowed three times.

The people who were arguing in the mourning hall suddenly saw Yang Jun coming and got up one after another.

"Jun'er, why did you arrive in the middle of the night, Anguo and them?"

Second Uncle Yang Dong looked behind him and didn't find Yang Anguo and his brothers.

It stands to reason that when the grandfather died of illness, the children and grandchildren of the Yang family had to come back to mourn, only to see the people in the big house, and none of the sons and grandsons were seen.

"Second uncle, we came by plane, and they estimate that they will arrive the day after tomorrow." Yang Jun explained.

From Sijiu City back to his hometown in Shanxi, it takes four days and four nights to drive, even if he takes turns, it will take at least four days and three nights to arrive, don't look at Yang Anguo, they set off a day in advance, but they are two full days later than Yang Jun.

"Oh, I see."

Yang Dong was stunned and said, "Why didn't An Guo Anbang come back by plane with you?" ”

The second uncle bit the word 'airplane' very hard.

It could be seen from his expression that he was a little lost.

Yang Jun didn't say anything, but greeted the people in the mourning hall.

"Uncle Big Eyes......"

"Uncle Ma......"

All the people in the village with a little prestige are here, along with Yang Jun's own cousins, about a dozen people.

"The army is coming."

The crowd greeted him one after another.

I'm afraid it's because of Yang Jun's identity, they don't feel comfortable when they speak.

Wang Yuying, who heard the movement, came out of the cave next door, first hugged Yang Chengdao in his arms and kissed him, and then led Yi Qiushui and them to the next door.

Yang Jun was tired and sleepy, and he wanted to rest early, but as the eldest son of the Yang family, he couldn't leave the guests behind and go to sleep alone, so he could only guard in the mourning hall.

After each of them scattered a cigarette, the second uncle Yang Dong and the others continued the topic just now.

"Junzi, you are a big leader, you have seen the world, tell me, what about the old man's funeral?"

Uncle Big Eyes, as the village party secretary and an elder, spoke first.

"Your second uncle has to get some kind of funeral committee, my opinion is not to do it, Junzi, what is your opinion?"

Yang Jun pondered for a moment and only said two words: "Simple." ”

"That's right, I'll just say that it should be done simply, your second uncle and your cousin will do it."

"Let me explain to your second uncle, don't think about yourself, but also think about the army, he is a leading cadre, and he must take the lead."

Yang Jun said: "Uncle Big Eyes is right, everyone's life has not been easy these days, and it is not appropriate to do a big job. ”

Yang Dong: "But Jun'er, our Yang family is a big family, how can your grandfather's funeral be simple, isn't this a joke for the neighboring villages?" ”

When Yang Jun heard this, his face sank like water.

He knew it was going to be like this.

The second uncle Yang Dong began to float, and the sesame mung bean official began to know the height of the sky.

Also a big family?

Where's the big one?

"Second uncle, you are also a cadre now, you also have to take the lead, besides, grandpa has been low-key all his life, if he knows everything, he will definitely not be willing to do a big job." Yang Jun patiently explained.

If it weren't for the fact that he was an elder, Yang Jun would have lost his face a long time ago.

Why don't you make a big deal of it, you don't have any points in your heart?

"Jun'er, your grandfather is gone, I am the biggest in this family, listen to me in this matter, first set up a funeral committee......"

"Second uncle, you are wrong."

Yang Jun suddenly interrupted: "According to the rules of the older generation, it should also be the master of the long house, right?" ”

"It's all a new society now...... Yang Dong muttered.

"Okay, just follow the rules of the new society, grandpa is gone, that's my mother's biggest, and it's not your turn to be the master, right?"

This second uncle didn't have any eyesight, and after being an official for a few days, he didn't know how many buns he ate.

"This ......"

The second uncle Yang Dong was speechless.

"Jun'er, the second uncle didn't want to be the master of the house, the reason why I did this was not for the face of our old Yang family?"

"Second uncle, you are right, if it is really for the good of the old Yang family, then you shouldn't do that."

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he turned back to those cousins and uncles in his family and said, "Brothers, uncles, do you think I am right?" ”

At this time, a cousin of the family said: "Jun'er is right, the old man's funeral should be handled simply." ”

With this cousin taking the lead, several other clansmen instructed them to express their stance and do it simply.

"Third child, have you forgotten how your eldest baby became a teacher in the town?" Yang Dong suddenly snapped.

The cousin's face turned red, but he immediately retorted: "Second brother, why are you mentioning this, let's talk about it, I keep your kindness in mind, but we can't just think about ourselves, we have to think about the army, right?" ”

Uncle Tang's hint is obvious, and it also gives the second uncle Yang Dong face, let him think about the overall situation, not just think about himself, Junzi is much more important than him.

"Second uncle, don't blame Uncle Cousin, he is also for the good of our old Yang family, you just listen to me, grandpa's funeral is simple."

"No, Junzi, you are also a dignified leader, and I am also a commune cadre, your grandfather's funeral can't be handled simply, this is related to the face of our grandfather."

"That's enough."

Yang Jun shouted.

However, I suddenly felt that it was a little bad to speak like this, so my face softened and said,

"Second uncle, let's do it, I'm tired, go back and rest first."

Even the guard was gone, and Yang Jun went back to Wang Yuying directly.

Since the second uncle and two aunts went to work in the commune, the cave at home has been vacant, and in order to take care of her grandfather, Wang Yuying moved to the cave where Yang Anbang lived.

The cave is not big, and there is a kang inside, and there is a single-pot stove inside, which is convenient for heating in winter.

Yang Jun's family of more than a dozen people was crammed into this cave, the women and children lived on the kang, and the men all lived in tents in the courtyard.

After Yang Jun entered, he climbed directly onto the kang, kicked Yang Laosi to the side, and sat down with one ass.

Yang Laosi just wanted to get angry, but when he turned around and found that it was Yang Jun, he suddenly didn't speak, and sat next to him and rolled his eyes.

"I'm."

Yang Jun complained while pouring herbal tea into his mouth.

When Wang Yuying heard this, she sighed and said, "Don't be like your second uncle, he is obsessed with officials." ”

Yang Jun slammed the tea bowl on the table.

"The bullshit official dares to put on a score in front of me, believe it or not, I'll give him a word?"

The second uncle couldn't tell the difference between the big and the small kings, and Yang Jun held back the fire in his stomach tonight.

"Don't, don't do this, or your second uncle will hate you for the rest of your life." Wang Yuying persuaded.

"Hate is hate, anyway, grandpa is gone, and the two families are getting farther and farther apart."

"You don't have any relationship with your second uncle, what about Anguo and Anbang, you don't plan to deal with each other either?"

"He ......"

Yang Jun was stunned and didn't speak.

"You can't write two Yang characters in one stroke, break the bones and connect the tendons, your second uncle has changed over the years, but his two children are still good, for the sake of Anguo and Anbang, you and your second uncle are generally knowledgeable." Wang Yuying persuaded.

"Okay, listen to you, don't meet him for the time being, if he doesn't know anything more, he's the director, don't do it."

"Okay, well, when the time comes, your second uncle will blow up with you again, and I won't be the first one."

Wang Yuying coaxed him like a child.

"Hehe, Mom, talking to you is thorough, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's hug one."

Yang Jun opened his arms and waited for Wang Yuying to hug him.

"Stinky boy, your daughter-in-law and son and daughter are here, how old are you, and let your mother hug you?"

Wang Yuying said as she spoke, and suddenly her face sank and said, "I heard that I am not here during this time, and you have been bullying the fourth and fifth children?" ”

"Hey, you picked up the feelings on the side of the road?"

Yang Jun was speechless, his mother was too eccentric, and he actually came to protect the calf.

"Hmph, it was one morning thirty-four years ago......"

Wang Yuying suddenly looked at the sky at 45 degrees with her face and spoke eloquently.

"Gotta get it, you stop, can you change a new trick."

When everyone saw that the two of them were joking when they met, they all burst out laughing.

They were not only envious of the mother-son relationship between them, but also moved by this unrestrained way of getting along.

"Mom, you don't know, during your absence, your son bullied me every day." Yi Qiushui said coquettishly.

"It's against him, mom is in charge of you, this husband can't ask for it, and kick him out of the house another day." Wang Yuying exaggerated.

"Mom, that's not enough, just take a beating."

The two sang and harmonized, and everyone was stunned.

After the family chatted for a while, Wang Yuying began to pick people out.

"Tomorrow's day's business, let's rest early tonight."

Yi Qiushui and Yang Laosi, Yang Laowu and Wang Yuying stayed in the cave, while Yang Jun and the others went to live in the courtyard.

Luo Xiaojun and Sun Zhaocai had already set up four tents in the courtyard, and Yang Jun was alone, and when he drilled into the tent, he put his clothes together and lay down.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by a burst of suona.

Yang Jun rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked out of the tent and saw that the suona class invited by the funeral had arrived, and he was now auditioning outside the hospital.

"Uncle Shi, are you still sleeping?"

Luo Xiaojun leaned in and whispered.

Yang Jun looked back, and the other three tents had been put away, and he was the only one left.

"Don't sleep, go to the mourning hall for a while."

He came back all the way, not to enjoy the blessings, his grandfather's funeral has not been completed, he must stay in the mourning hall to guard the spirit.

He washed his face, then found a filial piety shirt, and knelt in front of the mourning hall in place of his second uncle, as long as someone came to mourn, he burned paper.

After a while, Yang Jun's younger brothers and sisters and several godsons and daughters also came in dressed filial piety, and they knelt on both sides of the coffin very sensibly.

At this time, the second uncle Yang Dong came in from outside, knelt beside Yang Jun, and the two lowered their heads and whispered.

"Jun'er, I thought about it for a while, your grandfather's funeral still can't be done simply, it's related to the face of our old Yang family, we don't do it much, the scale is a little larger, mention the grade of the meal, and then invite some people to cry, what do you think?"

"I don't think so?"

Yang Jun rolled his eyes and said, "Don't tell me about this, you can do my mother's ideological work first, and then come and tell me." ”

After all, Yang Jun is a junior, and he can't tear his face with me Yang Dong, but Wang Yuying is different, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and now she is the biggest in the family, and everything is up to her.

Wang Yuying will definitely not agree, as long as it has an impact on Yang Jun, she will definitely be the first to object.

Yang Dong wants to give most of his grandfather's funeral, but it will definitely not work with her.

"Jun'er, you have already started a family, you can't listen to women's ...... for everything"

"Second uncle."

Yang Jun let out a low roar, his face sank like water, and he stared at him with unkind eyes.

"That's my mom and your sister-in-law, I hope you respect her."

"And the matter of grandpa's funeral, I have said that it will be done simply, can you not talk about it cliché, if you force me to be anxious, you are the director......"

The rest of the words did not continue, presumably Yang Dong had already understood.

"Jun'er, you ...... You've changed. ”

Yang Jun rolled his eyes.

It seems that that person is you, who became a mung bean sesame official, and I don't know how many buns I have eaten.

Yang Dong was stunned.

In the face of the iron-hearted Yang Jun, he really had no choice.

Everything he did today was given by Yang Jun, so naturally he didn't have the confidence to confront him.

In the face of such a tough Yang Jun, he could only give up.

"Second uncle, it's okay to go and kneel opposite, this is the position of the eldest son of the long house." Yang Jun said in a low voice.

Yang Dong rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Jun'er, you've changed."

Then, seeing that no one was paying attention, he crawled to the other side.

Today is the third day of my grandfather's death.

According to the rules handed down by the elders, coupled with the hot weather, the old man can only stay at home for five days, so he can stay for another day tomorrow and go to the ground the day after tomorrow.

Due to the hot weather, the corpse gradually decomposed, and a faint smell came from the coffin.

Some people can't help it, sneaking out from time to time, and don't come back for half a day.

Yang Jun had no choice but to discuss it with his second uncle, so he sent all those juniors out, leaving only him and his second uncle Yang Dong to guard the mourning hall.

The second mother, Qin Xiuzhi and Wang Yuying, are in charge of the outside affairs, they don't have to suffer this crime, but they suffer Yang Jun and Yang Dong.

Yang Jun covered his nose and didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would spit it out with one mouth.

The coffin lid didn't dare to close, first, the decay accelerated after the lid was closed, and on the other hand, Yang Anguo and they hadn't seen the last side yet.
