The official way of rebirth

There are several rooms built in the backyard of the small supermarket. The courtyard is paved with cement floors, which is quite clean and tidy.

Tang Feng led Tang Yi and others into a wing room. It was very warm with an earth-heated radiator. There were not many furnishings, a simple double bed, an old-style writing desk from the early days of reform, and two wooden chairs.

Tang Feng greeted everyone to "sit on the Kang", then took a set of orchid glasses from the iron plate on the desk, poured hot water for Tang Yi and others, and said, "You guys, are you from Yanshan?"

Tang Yi looked at the room silently and asked: "This is it?"

"Ah, this is my brother's room." Tangyi said sheepishly, Xiaoxiao, with white teeth and a beautiful smile, "He is very clean and lives with his parents-in-law.

Tang Yi nodded and asked: "Your mother-in-law?"

Tang Feng immediately said: "Actually, she is quite nice. It's not what you think, it's because I'm ignorant. Look, how warm is the heater in my brother's room? Coal prices are high now, and there are no people in town who use heaters during the day.

Some of them, my brother is not at home during the day, isn't it?

Don’t you have the courage to ask my brother to turn off the heating?”

After a pause, he added: "My brother eats here and pays 80 yuan for food every month. He also lives here and doesn't have to pay for gas. How can any mother-in-law tolerate it if it were in another house?

You said, right?"

Tang Yi smiled and said: "You are so kind to your brother." Looking at Tang Feng who said Tang Xiong had an unusually soft and beautiful smile, Tang Yi suddenly felt warm in his heart. This is his sister, an amiable and respectable sister.

Tang Feng said: "Yeah, I can't find my brother. If I don't treat him well, who can I treat him well? My parents have passed away again, and if I don't treat him well, who can treat him well?" Tang Feng's eyes gradually faded as he talked about his younger brother and parents.

Tang Yi was silent for a while and asked: "You, how did your parents pass away?"

Tang Feng sighed, his eyes a little confused, as if he remembered the most difficult time again, "Father, my father was hit by a car and died. Mother, after my father passed away, my mother seemed to be in trouble. She was diagnosed with the disease the next year.

cancer......"

Tang Yi nodded and lit another cigarette.

The room fell silent. Qi Jie just sat next to Tang Yi and gently held his hand. Shi San and Zhao Shan did not interrupt.

"Tell me, tell me about him."

Tang Feng looked at Tang Yi with a complicated expression. He wanted to hear the news about his brother, but was afraid that it would make him sadder.

Tang Yi was silent, his voice a little dry, "He, he was very happy, and there was no pain when he left..."

"Well..." Tang Feng was stunned. He suddenly covered his mouth with his hands and choked up sadly. His crying became louder and louder. Qi Jie glanced at Tang Yi, then came to Tang Feng's side and gently

Hug her gently to comfort her.

Seeing Tang Feng heartbroken, Tang Yi was in unbearable pain. He wanted to sit next to Tang Feng and comfort her, but he couldn't...

"Thank you, thank you..." Tang Feng burst into tears, "He, as long as he didn't feel any pain when he left..."

After finishing one cigarette, Tang Yi lit another one.

Tang Feng's crying gradually became quieter, and Qi Jie asked her in a low voice: "How about you sleep for a while?"

Tang Feng shook his head, slowly wiped away the tears on his face, lowered his head and whispered: "I, I'm fine."

After a while, Tang Feng finally raised his head and looked at Tang Yi: "You, I want to visit his grave."

Qi Jie said: "Let's wait until we have time. It will definitely not work in these two days."

Tomorrow morning Tang Yi will rush back to the provincial capital to attend the Provisional Standing Committee meeting. It is Tang Yi's initiative. He will naturally implement the appointment of Yanqing Municipal Party Committee Secretary before going to Africa. Tomorrow afternoon, Tang Yi will lead a government delegation to Africa.

.

Tang Feng grumbled and said, "I'll go out for a while. You guys sit down, don't, don't leave." Finally, he looked at Tang Yi and Qi Jie anxiously."

Tang Yi knew that she was very sad. After calming down for a while, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I also want to meet your brother. Can I be considered your mother's family?"

Tang Feng was slightly startled, and then said happily: "Of course, Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi also hopes that we can be a family, right?"

Tang Yi forced a smile: "We are a family."

Tang Feng was a little surprised, but she didn't know why she felt close to Sugarcoat. It was like, she didn't know what she thought of, and her eye circles suddenly turned red again. She nodded and said: "You guys sit down, you guys sit down first."

!" He quickly walked out of the compartment.

house.

Looking at Tang Yi who was looking out the window silently, Qi Jie shook his hand hard and said softly: "Don't be too sad." Although she was a little puzzled by Tang Yi's abnormal behavior, Ailang seemed cold and even cold.

To say that it is becoming colder is just old age.

The mask of a person in a high position. In his heart, Ai Lang is actually very emotional. Perhaps, he had a really deep relationship with the little Tang Yi who passed away!

Tang Yi nodded slightly without saying a word.

It was already more than half an hour later when Tang Feng came back again. Her eye circles were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried again, but she was in much better spirits than before. She raised the cotton curtain and came in and said embarrassedly: "You've been waiting for a long time.

,I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong.”

Tang Yi stood up and asked: "Do you have time? I want to visit your parents' graves."

Tang Feng was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, I should go and see it."

The music on his mobile phone suddenly started playing. Tang Feng took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his down jacket. Nowadays, as long as they are not in remote mountainous areas, most rural people have mobile phones. At least the heads of households basically have them. Tang Feng has a mobile phone.

What is rare

Strange things.

After answering the phone and saying a few words, Tang Feng's expression changed. He hung up the phone and said urgently: "I have to go out. Please wait a moment. I'll be back soon?"

Seeing her panic, Qi Jie asked with concern: "What's wrong? Can you tell us?"

Tang Feng hesitated for a moment and said: "It's my brother. He was fighting with someone. He is at the police station. The police station asked me to pick him up!"

Tang Yi frowned, why does Tang Xiong always have his sister to worry about? He just lives in his sister's house, how old is he, but he still has to fight and cause trouble.

It was not convenient to say much at this time, so I just said: "Take them together, our car is outside."

Tang Feng hesitated and finally nodded.

When they were passing through the small supermarket, Tang Feng's mother-in-law spoke very rudely, "Tang Feng, are you done with your older brother? How long has your younger brother been dead? You are asking for random kisses, and you don't even know how to fight.

What idea do you have! Call a taxi even if you drive a broken van..." The following words seemed to be muttered by oneself, but Tang Yi and others heard clearly. The mother-in-law glanced sideways at Tang Yi and others, looking extremely wary.

Naturally, Tang Feng told his mother-in-law about his younger brother on the way and begged her mother-in-law to forgive her and give him some time. As her mother-in-law was from a wealthy family and was a well-known person in the town, she naturally had learned from past mistakes and was afraid of her daughter-in-law's kiss coming to eat at a wealthy family.

When rural people see a van, they

It is normal to be a low-end product, not to mention that these days, well-dressed city people come to the countryside to cheat money and sell things. There are too many people who are deceiving people and engaging in pyramid schemes. Especially the two-year pilot program in Kuancheng has greatly increased rural incomes.

Scammers from the city are like crucian carp crossing the river.

At this time, Tang Feng naturally did not dare to say that his brother was at the police station. He lowered his head and said, "I, I'm going to do something." He rushed out of the supermarket. As for being scolded by his mother-in-law when he came back, he didn't care.

After getting into the Citroën, Tang Yi frowned and asked, "Tang Xiong often goes to the police station?"

Tang Feng said anxiously: "No, that's why I'm worried. My brother, Teacher Ke, has never caused any trouble. You'll know it when you see him. Why did you go to the police station today? It's not like something big happened, right?"

Tang Yi nodded.

As if aware that Tang Yi and others might have a bad impression of Tang Xiong, she hurriedly defended: "Don't think that my brother is ignorant. He has always said that he is moving out. I want him to save more money. I want him to

I begged him to endure it, so he endured it at my mother-in-law's house. If I endure it for another year or two and borrow some money, my brother can build three new houses and marry Xiaoling."

At this point, Tang Feng just smiled and said, "My brother is twenty-eight, and Xiaoling is only twenty. She is several years younger than me, but he just likes my brother."

Xiaoling is also beautiful. She works in a garment factory in the town. If my brother is not a good person, can Xiaoling follow him wholeheartedly? Xiaoling said that she likes that my brother is down-to-earth and can endure hardships." Speaking of Xiaoling,

Tang Feng was obviously happy. It was obvious that in her depressing life, her brother's romance and marriage with Xiaoling was the most exciting thing for her.

Seeing that Tang Feng was gradually regaining his energy, Tang Yi smiled with relief and stopped saying anything.

In front of the majestic compound of the police station, stood a young girl wearing a yellow down jacket. She was quite beautiful. When she saw Tang Feng getting out of the car, the girl hurriedly ran over. Before she even got there, her eye circles were red, and she grabbed her

Tang Feng raised his hand and said with some fear: "Sister, Tang Xiong is still inside, it's all my fault. Sister, I, I'm afraid..." After saying that, he lowered his head, blah blah blah

shed tears.

Tang Feng was stunned. He hugged her to comfort her and asked her what was wrong.

Xiaoling just said "I", when she saw Tang Yi and others beside Tang Feng, her face turned red and she stopped talking.

Tang Feng said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what's going on? There are no outsiders here!"

Xiaoling then started talking intermittently. It turned out that Tang Xiong was fighting because of Xiaoling. A small foreman in Xiaoling's factory had an affair with Xiaoling before. Later, Xiaoling felt that this man was unreliable.

So I broke up with him. Today, for some reason, that worker was sitting at the same table as Tang Xiong in the restaurant, talking about Xiaoling, and even drank.

Somewhat tall, the foreman began to show off that Xiaoling had kissed him, and vividly described how sweet Xiaoling's tongue was. When Tang Xiong heard this, he became angry and started fighting with the foreman on the spot. Everyone pulled away and the two of them

They started fighting again, and finally someone from the police station came to mediate. The two still fought fiercely, and finally the police from the police station got angry and took them away in handcuffs.

Xiaoling blushed, grabbed Tang Feng's hand in fear, and said, "Sister, he, he doesn't want me anymore, right?"

Tang Feng laughed, thinking it was a big deal. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Xiaoling to comfort him, "How could it be? If he dares to abandon you because of this matter, I will be the first to not spare him!"

Tang Yi and Qi Jie looked at each other and smiled. Even in rural areas, simple girls like Xiaoling are rare nowadays.

Tang Yi even felt that it seemed that Tang Feng and Tang Xiong had a difficult life, but in fact Tang Feng's cousins ​​all had their own happiness, which was not something outsiders could judge.

Tang Feng entered the police station by himself. Xiaoling greeted Tang Yi and others shyly, but Qi Jie took her hand and whispered a few words. Soon the two of them started scolding each other and whispering something.

After a while, a tall and strong man followed Tang Feng out of the courtyard. The man was tall and upright, with his head drooped, following Tang Feng. Tang Feng didn't know what he was saying to him.

He nodded repeatedly.

Tang Yi also saw that in this family, Tang Feng was the backbone, the one who took care of the entire family and made the decisions.

"Tang Xiong!" Xiaoling took two steps and flinched again.

Tang Xiong grinned: "I scared you, it's all my fault." Xiaoling immediately smiled. She ran over quickly, looked at Tang Xiong up and down, and said, "They, they didn't beat you in there, right?"

Tang Xiong laughed: "How can we not get punished when we come here? That kid and I got kicked a few times each! It's okay!"

Tang Yi looked at this scene with a smile, and even envied them a little. Happiness is often that simple.

"Brother, come here quickly. I'll introduce you to Xiao Yi's godfather." Tang Feng pulled Tang Xiong to Tang Yi and asked Tang Yi: "What, how do I call you?"

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Just ask me to come."

Tang Xiong sighed deeply, took out a cigarette, lit one, and handed the cigarette case to Tang Yi. A pack of Kuancheng cigarettes cost 50 cents. Tang Yi took it and lit one. The cigarette was a little choking, but it was not difficult.

smoke.

"Tsk tsk, Xiaoling, come to see your brother when you want to kiss me!" A high-pitched voice from the side broke the dull atmosphere here. A thin man walked out from the police station yard. His eyes were a little bruised. He might have been talking to him.

The tall and powerful cousin suffered a loss during the attack, so he was very angry and started looking for trouble again.

Tang Xiong was a drifter with difficult conditions and a simple and honest man. He was often bullied and assigned dirty and tiring tasks when working. Suddenly he got angry and beat the little foreman. The little foreman had lost face and was a little reluctant.

Rao.

Tang Xiong stared, and Tang Feng pulled the corner of his clothes. He saw several policemen coming out of the courtyard gate, and then turned his head and ignored the little foreman.

The little foreman chuckled, deliberately walked this way, walked up to a few people, and looked at Xiaoling with a playful smile: "Sister, your little mouth smells so good!"

Just after I finished speaking, my lower abdomen suddenly felt numb, and then it flew up like a cloud, like a scene in a movie, flying upside down, and then fell heavily to the ground. I clutched my lower abdomen, and then the severe pain rushed to my head like an overwhelming sea.

The little foreman screamed, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't scream, and he lay there panting like a dead dog.

It was a very powerful kick from Zhao Shan, which probably killed half of this kid's life on the spot.

The policemen who came out of the police station were startled. They took a few steps towards this side and immediately saw Citroën. Seeing Tang Yi and Qi Jie's dress and demeanor, seeing Thirteen's indifference and Zhao Shan's coldness, the policemen still

They looked at each other a few times, then got back into the police car, as if they hadn't seen this scene.

Tang Feng, Tang Xiong and Xiao Ling all looked at Zhao Shan with wide eyes in surprise. Tang Yi smiled, "This girl is quite strong." Then he looked at his watch and said, "Let's go to eat. We have to be there too."

It’s time to eat.”

So he came to the two-story hotel at the crossroads of the town and asked for a private room on the second floor. After sitting down, Tang Yi smiled and said to Tang Feng, "Don't be afraid of being scolded by your mother-in-law today. I'll talk to you in the worst case."

"

Although Tang Feng felt a little uneasy, "Lao San" and his family had come from afar, so he had to welcome them both emotionally and logically. At the very least, the way to treat guests was to treat them to a meal, not to mention Tang Feng's affection for "Lao San"

Such an indescribable attachment, and I can’t bear to leave it like this

Let the "third child" go. He said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I told you that my mother-in-law is very nice. You can do whatever you want. I'll treat you today." I felt happy in my heart. Fortunately, I didn't know whether Tang Xiong needed to pay a fine when he came out from the police station.

I loaded it with two hundred dollars.

While everyone was busy ordering food, Qi Jie's cell phone music suddenly rang. She was slightly startled, answered the call, walked to the window and said a few words, then walked back and sat down as if nothing had happened.

Tang Yi knew that only important people and important matters would call in the phone Qi Jie carried, so he asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay." Qi Jie smiled.

Tang Yi smiled and said: "Go ahead and do your business. It's not too late now. You can take a taxi from the town and go to Kuancheng to exchange for the sports car back to Spring City. You can catch the evening flight. I have eaten in Kuancheng

Have a night's rest, and you'll be back at three or four o'clock tomorrow, so don't follow me around and delay your business."

Qi Jie thought for a while, then smiled sweetly and said, "Okay." She stood up and said goodbye. Tang Feng left a few words, but seeing that Qi Jie was really occupied, he said, "Then I will definitely come, I haven't talked to you enough yet."

Already."

Qi Jie smiled and said, "Definitely!"

Not long after Qi Jie and Shi San left, a large bowl of steaming braised rabbit meat was brought up. Tang Feng smiled at Guang Yi and said, "You and Tang Xiong have a drink."

Tang Yi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Tang Xiong smiled honestly: "Third brother, I am taking advantage of you. Normally my sister is so tight on her lips, how could she take the initiative to let me drink!"

Tang Yi laughed, and Tang Feng said angrily: "You really called me "Lao San"? Mr. Tang can tell at a glance that he is a man who has seen the big world, "Lao San Lao San", you can really say it out loud."

Tang Yi smiled and said it didn't matter.

Tang Xiong chuckled: "That's right, the third child said we are a family." He asked Tang Yi again: "Are you from Yanshan?"

Tang Yi said: "I'm in Kuancheng now, doing some small business."

"It's quite close, third child. I'll come here often from now on. I'll give you a letter when I get married, so you can't miss it." Tang Xiong had a bit of a carefree personality, and Xiaoling blushed with embarrassment.

Tang Yi smiled and said: "I will definitely come."

"What kind of wine do you drink?" Tang Feng asked Tang Yi, holding the wine list, "You like to drink strong drinks, right?"

Just when Zhao Shan wanted to speak, Tang Yi smiled and said, "It's okay."

Tang Xiong chuckled, "Then let's adjust the height, let's use Erguotou."

Tang Feng frowned and said: "That's okay." He ordered a bottle of 65-degree Linhe Daqu worth more than thirty yuan. For banquets in rural areas, it is a high-end wine.

Tang Xiong was a little surprised. His sister was known to be very careful with money, but she was really willing to spend money today.

When Tang Feng smiled and helped Tang Yi pour the wine, Tang Yi felt warm in his heart. Whether it was his sister or his sister, it was the first time that Tang Yi was taken care of by relatives of the same generation. In the Tang Jianing family, the younger generation all looked up to Tang Yi.

Even those who are about the same age as Tang Yi regard Tang Yi as an elder. Unless they are crazy, who would care for him like a sister?

So it's not surprising that Tang Yi drank that big, hot cup in one breath.

With his stomach churning, Tang Yi hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom, and Zhao Shan quickly followed.

It was a very simple bathroom. When Tang Yi vomited in the pool, Zhao Shan also came in, knocked Tang Yi on the back, and said: "Boss, if you want Tang Feng and Tang Xiong to go to the county town, they will have a house now." She said.

When he got there, he was able to observe people's words and expressions, and realized that Tang Yi was very unusual about the two siblings.

Tang Yi drank in a hurry, but his mind was clear. After vomiting, Zhao Shan brought boiling water. Tang Yi took out a tissue and wiped his mouth before asking: "Why do you have a house?"

Zhao Shan said: "704, I bought Xiao He's house. I can move there, or Tang Feng and Tang Xiong can live in it directly."

Tang Yi asked curiously: "Xiao He? Who is it?" He had long forgotten about this.

Zhao Shan said: "The person who borrowed 10,000 yuan from you, I urged him to repay the money, but he never paid back. In the end, he transferred his house to me for 400,000 yuan. Now they are renting, and they can be asked to move at any time.

.Ah, I will return the ten thousand yuan to you later, or I will ask Mr. Qi to deduct it from my salary."

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You will make money."

Fairy, housing prices in Kuancheng are in their infancy. A house with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters costs 400,000 yuan, which is less than 2,100 square meters. Tang Yi estimates that in two or three years, with Kuancheng's economic development speed, housing prices should exceed

Four thousand mark, he said these words during the chat, but Zhao Shan actually remembered them.

Zhao Shan said: "He came to me himself. I asked him for money, and he also found a few gangsters to scare me. I knocked him down on the spot. Immediately he was scared like a grandson. He said he had no money and asked

Should I buy his house? It’s 400,000 yuan. Of course I’ll sell it. You said the house price will rise to 4,000 yuan!”

Zhao Shan and Tang Yi were chatting, but it was actually quite uncomfortable. They felt that they were rude, and the people around the boss were all so talkative. However, their cultural level was low, and some of them were disgraced by the boss. The boss was the governor of Liaodong Province!

But the less she likes to talk, Tang Yi sometimes just likes to chat with her. Zhao Shan has no choice but to try to be civilized and not appear too rude.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "You also like money!" He threw the tissue into the trash can and said, "Let's talk about it later."

I just had a relationship with Tang Feng and Tang Xiong. Do you want them to move to the county town to change jobs? Even if it scares them, they might think that I have a mental problem. I have to take my time and get familiar with it before talking.

Zhao Shan nodded: "Oh, wait a minute. Also, a few hours ago, Xiao He also gave me a small factory owned by him and his wife for two hundred thousand. It's fair. That Xiao He is a

Gambler."

Tang Yi couldn't laugh or cry. Xiao He knew Zhao Shan, the evil star, so he was unlucky.
