Autumn 1985.

Everything is bleak.

The original verdant natural green was replaced by a golden canopy, and there was a gray atmosphere in the sky and the earth all day long.

It's getting colder, and the coats are already on.

But even so, when a gust of wind blew, I couldn't help but wrap my clothes tightly.

Morning.

Yang Jun ran around the street in front of his house twice as usual, a habit he couldn't shake for so many years.

Although he has been sure that he is immortal, even so, he still insists on exercising every day.

Run in from the entrance of the street, stop slowly not far from Pengyuan, and walk to a breakfast shop not far away.

"The old rules?"

A waiter walked over and said to Yang Jun with a smile.

Yang Jun didn't speak, smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, the waiter quickly left.

In a short time, breakfast was served.

A basket of xiaolongbao, a bowl of mutton soup, and two pickles.

Yang Jun picked up the chopsticks and took a bun while it was hot, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it a few times, and swallowed it directly.

He is very fond of eating this kind of bun.

Since this bun was spread out to this day, he can't help but come here for breakfast.

"Brother, this is a new fried bun from my store, you can try it."

Yang Jun was eating, and the owner of the steamed bun shop came over with a plate of fried buns with a smile.

"Yo, fried buns."

Yang Jun looked at the fried buns with a look of surprise, and then said, "Then I have to taste it, I haven't eaten this thing for a long time."

After speaking, he took a bite of a yellow and tender bun.

"Well, it's delicious."

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was immediately covered with a smile.

"Brother, if you like to eat, eat more."

Hearing this, Yang Jun lit the table with chopsticks.

"Is business going well lately, is there anyone who is causing trouble?"

The owner of the shop is Yuan Erni.

Since Yang Huai entered, she has lived alone with her two children.

However, the long waiting days were boring and boring, so just after the confinement, Yuan Erni used the money Yang Jun gave her to open this steamed bun shop.

The steamed bun shop is very large and can accommodate 200 people at the same time.

The store employs seven or eight clerks, and the breakfast in the store is also diversified, and it does not sell local snacks in Sijiucheng, Yang Jun specially invited famous snack chefs from all over the world to sell local delicacies.

Since the reform and opening up, the policy is getting better and better, more and more people come to Peking to go to school, travel, and do business, they can no longer meet the local food, and pursue the diversification of food, such as fried buns, beef pot falls, flasks, meat buns, etc., all of them.

Moreover, this shop is located in the second ring road, and there is a large flow of people, and there is an endless stream of people who come to eat and dine every day, and the business is very good.

Yang Jun also very supportively supported Yuan Erni to start a business.

Staying at home all day alone is easy to be cranky, so it is better to keep her busy all day and forget the big troubles in her heart for a while.

"Brother, you can bring some fried buns back and give your sister-in-law a taste." Yuan Erni said.

Yang Jun waved his hand: "Don't."

"You don't have more than one sister-in-law, you don't have enough buns to eat."

When Yuan Erni heard this, her face turned red.

"Then bring more and let every sister-in-law taste it."

As the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, she naturally knew that Yang Jun was more than just Yi Qiushui.

In her cognition, she doesn't think it's disrespectful to women, but on the contrary, she thinks it's the standard for capable men.

She was curious about how Yang Jun managed to get so many women to live in harmony.

You must know that women are selfish, their hearts and eyes are not much bigger than the tip of a needle, and they can't tolerate other women except themselves.

Looking at Yang Jun, not only let so many women

People can get along with each other, and they get along like a family.

When Yang Jun heard this, he just smiled.

"Alright, go get busy, don't stay with me."

"Cheng, then big brother, you eat slowly, I'll go to the back kitchen to get busy."

Yuan Erni smiled, then turned around and went to the back kitchen.

Looking at the back of Yuan Erni leaving, Yang Junchang sighed.

He always had a feeling of being sorry for Yuan Erni.

If he hadn't stood by and watched, she wouldn't have had to endure the separation of husband and wife.

However, Yang Jun knew that there were some things he had to do.

Compared with these, the education of the crooked little tree of Yang Huai is the top priority.

As long as Yang Huai can change his ways, he feels that it is worth it.

After breakfast, Yang Jun wiped his mouth and left.

He didn't have to pay the bills, so naturally someone helped him keep the accounts.

Back at Pengyuan, he instructed the driver to go to the unit first.

I spent the morning in the unit, and after lunch, I went straight to the suburbs.

Two months have passed since Yang Huai's incident, and during this period, Yang Jun has never come to see Wang Yuying once.

Come to the ancestral hall.

Yang Jun asked the guards to wait outside, and he went in alone with gifts.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw a person walking out from the inside.

If it weren't for Yang Jun's quick eyes and quick hands, he would have made a move to the left, otherwise he would have collided with someone and died.

"Cousin?"

"Cousin?"

Yang Jun fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came was not Wang Huizhen, his cousin of his uncle's family.

Wang Suzhen was carrying a handbag in her hand, and the bag was full of things, which should be something like a lunch box.

"What are you?" Yang Jun asked.

When Wang Huizhen heard this, she looked at the cloth bag in her hand, and said a little shyly,

"Cousin, I'm going to work, you're here to visit your aunt?"

"Well, I can't talk about visiting, I'm here to beg for scolding." Yang Jun teased.

"Poof!"

Wang Huizhen smiled: "I didn't expect my cousin to be such a big leader and love to joke so much."

After speaking, he said seriously: "Aunt loves you the most, how can I scold you."

When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

Wang Suzhen shook her head.

Yang Jun said, "Let's go, come in with me, and I'll let you see it."

Hearing this, Wang Suzhen looked at the cloth bag in her hand, and then hesitated.

Still, she quickly followed.

"Cousin, you live here too?"

On the way, Yang Jun asked.

When Wang Huizhen heard this, her face turned red.

"yes, yes."

After speaking, he explained: "That happened some time ago, in order to fill the hole for him, all the valuable things in the family were sold, including the house, and now there is no money to rent a house, so I can only temporarily borrow it to live in the ancestral hall."

"Brother Don't, I didn't say hello to you, I moved in, you wouldn't mind, right?"

Before, he just said that his uncle wanted to move in, but Yang Jun didn't say anything, so he agreed.

Now it seems that not only my uncle and aunt have moved in, but even Cousin Huizhen's family has also moved in.

Fortunately, there are many rooms in the ancestral hall, and I don't care about how many more people there are.

Now in the ancestral hall, except for the people who Yang Jun cleans up and guards and takes care of, there is only his uncle's family.

"Hey, it's all a family, what are you talking about?"

Somehow, Yang Jun always felt guilty about Cousin Huizhen.

It's not that I owe her anything, or do something sorry for her, I always feel that I didn't help her home when I helped her before, and I feel a faint sense of guilt.

Yang Jun doesn't know how this can be, maybe this is the trace of conscience hidden in the deepest part of people's hearts.

"Cousin, thank you for the past."

Wang Huizhen said with a red face.

Yang Jun waved his hand: "You're welcome, you've said thank you."

After speaking, he stopped and said to Wang Huizhen, "Actually, there are some things that I don't want to do, but my uncle...... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

After speaking, Yang Jun continued to walk forward.

"Cousin, it's my parents who are not good enough, if they don't do something thoughtful, I'll compensate you for them."

Yang Jun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to take it to heart.

Wang Yuying lives in the east wing, and is sitting on the bench at the door basking in the sun at the moment.

Next to her sat her aunt Bao Suna.

The two chatted while squinting at Yang Jun.

"Jun'er, here?"

Aunt Bao Suna hurriedly got up to greet Yang Jun.

She lowered her posture very low, and faintly looked flattering.

If Yang Jun hadn't taken her in, I'm afraid her family would have slept on the streets, and if Yang Jun hadn't helped, her son-in-law would have gone in.

All in all, she now recognizes the facts and begins to take the initiative to curry favor with Yang Jun.

"Yes, aunt."

Yang Jun nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

After speaking, he came to Wang Yuying's side and put the things in his hand on the ground.

"Yo, who is this?"

"Tsk, such a big leader, how can you have time to see my old woman?"

Wang Yuying sneered.

When Yang Jun heard this, he looked at Wang Suzhen with a wry smile.

"What am I talking about?"

When Wang Huizhen heard this, she sneered.

"Giggles, I believe it now, you're here to scold."

Wang Huizhen's words made Wang Yuying and Bao Suna and the second monk puzzled.

However, Wang Yuying can hear it, and the two juniors are a little funny about her.

"Huizhen, you are usually very well-behaved, don't learn badly from your brother Junzi."

Wang Huizhen smiled: "Auntie, no, my cousin is very good."

"People have the ability not to say anything, but also kind, witty and humorous, everyone likes such people."

When Wang Yuying heard this, she pursed her lips: "Hmph, I didn't see it, but I saw him weather me."

When Wang Huizhen heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled.

In front of Yang Jun, she didn't dare to speak wantonly as a cousin.

I know, they are cousins and cousins, I don't know, I thought Yang Jun was her top boss, she felt that she was under a lot of pressure with Yang Jun.

Since their family moved back from the mountain city, she found that this cousin didn't like her parents very much, and as a cousin, she didn't dare to take the initiative to come forward to associate with Yang Jun.

If it weren't for Wang Yuying, I'm afraid Yang Jun wouldn't have to take care of their family.

She knew that once Wang Yuying was gone, Yang Jun would definitely break off her family with her.

Thinking about the prosperity of my cousin's family, and then looking at my own family, hey, it's heaven and earth.

Her brow furrowed, but she still had a smile on her face.

Although this way of interacting is not to her liking, she has to do it.

"Mom, aunt, cousin, you talk, I'm going to work." Wang Huizhen said.

After speaking, he just wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by his aunt Bao Suna.

Bao Suna scolded with a straight face: "You girl, why are you so ignorant, your cousin finally came to visit, how can you let him go back on an empty stomach, you go to the back vegetable field to pull some vegetables, no matter what, you have to let your cousin eat and go back."

The aunt thought that the family was now staying at Yang Jun's house, and he also realized that he could no longer feel that Yang Jun's kindness to her should be shared as before, and he had to change his tactics.

Moreover, if a cadre as big as Yang Jun is hooked, the benefits will be great.

During this time, she got along with Wang Yuying

is very good, coaxing Wang Yuying every day, just hoping that Yang Jun will take care of one or two for the sake of the two families.

This time, Yang Jun came over, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could she miss it.

After Bao Suna finished speaking, she kept giving Wang Huizhen a look.

"But I...... I'm going to be late."

Wang Huizhen hesitated.

At this time, Wang Yuying spoke: "Silly girl, listen to your aunt, hurry up and cook, let your cousin eat before leaving."

Wang Yuying naturally hopes that Yang Jun and her brother's family will live in peace, and she doesn't want to see her two closest people like enemies.

Wang Huizhen hesitated and glanced at Yang Jun secretly.

She is a person in the mixed workplace, and she is the best at observing words and feelings, a big man like Yang Jun, she doesn't dare to make assertions, and she must get Yang Jun's approval.

At this time, Yang Jun squatted on the threshold of the door of the wing room, took out a cigarette, lit the fire, and smoked leisurely.

Seeing that Yang Jun did not object, Wang Yuying immediately smiled and said, "Okay...... Okay, I'll go right away."

After speaking, he stuffed the cloth bag containing the lunch box in his hand to Bao Suna, and then turned around and went to the back of the ancestral hall.

Behind the ancestral hall is the cemetery.

It was a cemetery of nearly ten acres.

Except for the burial of Yang Gui alone, all other places are empty.

When he has nothing to do, his uncle Wang Yuxian grows crops and vegetables here, which are enough for the family to use, and there is no need to go to the market to buy them.

After Wang Yuzhen left, Wang Yuying turned back to Yang Jun and said,

"Jun'er, it's not easy for your cousin Huizhen, if you can, can you help her?"

At this time, Aunt Bao Suna looked at Yang Jun nervously.

She naturally hoped that Yang Jun would help her daughter.

Since what happened to her son-in-law, the family has returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, and all the valuable things in the family have been sold, the house, savings, and jewelry have all been sold to fill in the holes, and even the pension of her old couple has been pasted inside.

Now he is so depressed that he can only borrow the Yang family ancestral hall.

She also knew Yang Jun's energy, if Yang Jun was willing to help, how could their family's life be like this.

Hearing this, Yang Jun spit out the smoke in his mouth and said lightly, "Didn't I already help?"

Wang Yuying: "Mom doesn't mean that, I mean, can you help again, such as doing a business or something."

"Does she have the money?"

Wang Yuying's face darkened: "She doesn't, we can borrow it, our family is not bad for those three melons and two dates."

When Yang Jun heard this, he gave her a vague look.

That look means, whether you are your own mother or not, even if you cut your own flesh to subsidize others.

"In that case, I might as well do my own business."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Jun received a slap on the shoulder.

Wang Yuying said with a straight face: "Don't you even give your mother's face now?"

Yang Jun smacked his mouth and said, "Mom, without you like this, the money of our family is blown by the wind."

"I'll just ask you, does this help in the end?"

Seeing that Wang Yuying was really angry, Yang Jun hurriedly smiled and said, "Mom, you see what you are anxious about, I didn't say that I wasn't busy, but ......

Yang Jun pondered for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this attitude to begging people."

When Wang Yuying heard this, her chest bulged with anger.

"Okay, you have to have an attitude, huh?"

As he spoke, he said to Bao Suna, "Go and call your man and ask his uncle to beg him personally."

Wang Yuying also knew that Yang Jun had been angry with his uncle.

If Yang Jun hadn't been allowed to take this breath, he wouldn't let go.

"Okay, I'll call it."

After speaking, he hurriedly ran to the back of the ancestral hall.

After she left, only Yang Jun and Wang Yuying were left at the scene.

"Jun'er, Mom won't live for a few years, me

There's only one relative like your uncle left, and you can't let me die without closing my eyes, right?"

"Later, when your uncle comes and pays you compensation, you can go down the steps."

"Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you should be filial to your mother and me, can you see it?"

Wang Yuying knew what Yang Jun was thinking, so she did not use her identity as a parent to order him, but forgave him.

Hearing this, Yang Jun lowered his head and sighed.

"Mom, don't talk about it."

"My son knows how to do it, don't worry, he won't embarrass you."

To be honest, if it weren't for Wang Yuying, Yang Jun would not have taken care of his uncle's family.

However, he also understands the mind of an old man.

The older a person lives, the more lonely he feels.

Watching the relatives and familiar people around him leave one by one, the feeling of loneliness and loneliness is unavoidable, especially Wang Yuying has experienced the pain of losing her father, pulling her five children to grow up alone, and the central sourness and pain are not something that ordinary people can understand.

Therefore, she longs for family affection in her heart, and longs for the family to get together peacefully.

"Okay, okay...... Mom, thank you." Wang Yuying's eyes were filled with a layer of crystal tears.

When Yang Jun heard this, his heart hurt inexplicably.

He didn't say anything, but held his mother's hand tightly.

After a while, I saw my uncle Wang Yuxian and my aunt Bao Suna trotting towards this side.

My uncle was dressed as a peasant, with a straw hat on his head and a black rag in his hand.

"Yo, the army is here."

Uncle greeted him with a smile on his face.

It looked a little humble.

Although he had a smile on his face, his brows were furrowed deeply, and it seemed that he was very entangled in his heart.

According to the seniority, he is an elder, and there is no rule for elders to take the initiative to greet juniors.

However, according to his position, he had to bow his head.

The so-called dignity and face are nothing in the face of status.

"Uncle, I'm busy."

Wang Yuying touched Yang Jun, and Yang Jun immediately stood up and greeted his uncle.

Seeing this, his uncle Wang Yuxian's face softened a lot.

Seeing that Yang Jun gave him face, he was not as entangled as before.

Wang Yuxian held a rag in his hand and gestured to Yang Jun.

"Hey, what are you busy with, you're busy."

"Didn't you just wipe your father's tombstone in the back, if I knew that you were coming, my uncle would go to the restaurant to fry a few dishes and have a drink."

When Yang Jun heard this, he said that he didn't know if it was okay.

The uncle deliberately said that he was wiping the tombstone for his father, but in fact, he wanted Yang Jun to remember his goodness.

There are so many people in the ancestral hall, so there is no one to take care of the cemetery.

However, he didn't say anything.

"Hey, why do you still have to do it yourself, there are so many people below, just let them do it." Yang Jundao.

"That's not good, my uncle is different from them, we are our own people, and they don't work as carefully as I do." Wang Yuxian flattered.

"Okay, then you ...... Don't get too tired."

What else can Yang Jun say?

My uncle lives here, and he also gives him a salary, and it is his job to wipe the tombstones.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, how can I be tired of doing my own work." Wang Yuxian said with a smile.

"Yes, your uncle is right, we are all family." Wang Yuying played a round on the side.

"It's just that we're all family, so why bother seeing each other like this." My aunt chimed in.

"What, your cousin Huizhen is cooking, it's going to be fine right away, let's wait a little longer."

Yang Jun smiled and didn't say anything.

Subsequently, Yang Jun and his uncle chatted with each other.

Basically, it was the uncle who was talking, Yang Jun was listening, and sometimes, Yang Jun would respond for the sake of face.

Uncle has completely put down his face, and he has tried his best to please him, and that appearance really refreshed Yang Jun's three views.

Yang Jun found that his uncle really had a talent for mixed workplaces, if it was like this in the early years, why did the relationship between the two families develop to this point.

Uncle here flattered all kinds of flattery, and Wang Yuying tried his best to promote peace, under the double offensive, Yang Jun had to make a statement.

"Uncle, it's very difficult for my cousin here, your whole family is guarding my father's grave, I'm very grateful, so ......

Yang Jun groaned slightly, and then said, "My cousin, my cousin-in-law and her two children, one of them counts as one, how about I give a salary?" 、

When Wang Yuxian heard this, he and Bao Suna glanced at each other, and their faces were happy.

You know, he can now get 200 yuan a month, and if he has four more salaries, that is an additional 800 yuan a month, and if he continues like this, they will be able to pay off their debts in less than a year.

"This ...... Is this appropriate?"

Wang Yuxian said a little excitedly.

"It's just that it's not suitable, our family gets all paid...... I'm so embarrassed." Aunt Bao Suna smiled.

The corners of Yang Jun's mouth twitched: "Or, forget it?"

"No, no, no, I think it's a good fit."

Uncle and aunt hurriedly said.

Yang Jun rolled his eyes when he heard this.

It's really deserving and standing.

If you give it to you, who will you pretend to show it?

"Not reluctantly?"

Yang Jun looked at them with a smile.

"Not reluctantly, not at all."

Uncle Wang Yuxian smiled and said, "Jun'er, that ...... Uncle on behalf of your sister's family, thank you."

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "I don't want you to thank anything, as long as you don't complain behind your back, I'll be satisfied."

"How is that possible? My uncle isn't that kind of person."

Hearing this, Yang Jun silently rolled his eyes.

If you weren't that kind of person, there wouldn't be that kind of person in this world.

However, he didn't say anything.

Uncle can not give face, but mother Wang Yuying's face must be taken care of.

"Cousin, the meal is ready, come and eat."

At this time, my cousin Wang Huizhen came over and asked them to eat.

"Let's go eat."

The uncle greeted warmly, "You go first, I'll go to the room and bring my good wine that has been treasured for more than ten years, and I want to have a good drink with the two soldiers."
