Li Baye and others had never seen this battle before. Just the sound of boots clashing made them tremble! When he raised his hand, he thought he was going to hit someone, but everyone shrank their necks! The movements are quite neat!
However, Li Baye reacted quickly. Although he didn't know what the other party's action meant, he could guess that it was etiquette! But when he was so old, he had only seen the policeman whip him. How could any policeman salute him first? So he waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Master, you must do it, you must do it!"
But then I heard the man put down his hand and said loudly: "Eighth uncle, take a good look at me. I am Yaozong! Li Yaozong!"
Li Baye and other villagers always feel familiar when they hear the name Li Yaozong, but they can't remember who it is! Li Yaozong saw that everyone looked confused, so he had no choice but to say loudly: "I'm a bitch for the second time!"
When everyone heard this, they started shouting with a "boom"! Someone said: "It turns out to be Goudan'er!"
"Yes, Goudan's real name is Yaozong! It's just that there are so many Goudan names that I can't remember at the moment!"
At this time, everyone was no longer afraid. Instead, they stepped forward and surrounded Li Yaozong, tugging at the military uniform on him to look fresh! At this time, Mr. Li Ba was relieved. If the other party was Li Goudan, there would be nothing to say! Immediately he straightened his back and said, "You bitch, it's you! What kind of clothes are you wearing? Why do you look weird?"
Li Yaozong patted the armed belt around his waist, then raised his leg and patted the leather boots on his calf, and said proudly: "Eighth uncle, this is the military uniform of our navy! How do you like it? Does it look good?"
Li Baye looked up and down and then twirled his beard and said, "It's not bad, he looks quite majestic!"
At this time, another officer who had been outside the crowd said loudly: "Li Goudan, stop talking nonsense and unload the truck quickly. I'm in a hurry to get back to the village!"
Only then did Li Baye remember that there was someone else there, so he whispered, "Who is this person?"
Li Yaozong said: "This is my colleague Ma Pingchuan! He is the youngest son of Uncle Ma's family in Yanhe Village!"
The two villages are so close that they are familiar with each other. When they heard that it turned out to be Ma Laoer's son, everyone was no longer afraid, and simply joined him in the crowd and started asking questions.
At this time, Li Yaozong said loudly: "Eighth uncle, uncles, please listen to me first!"
When everyone calmed down, he said loudly: "Ma Pingchuan came back with me for vacation, and he is also anxious to go home to see his parents! Did you see that car? Half of the things in the car belong to me. Let's unload all the things first. , and then let Ma Pingchuan go home first! Then today I will treat everyone to dinner and set up a banquet in the middle of the village!"
When everyone heard it, there was a burst of noise, and then they rushed to the car excitedly, moving things from top to bottom in a hurry. Sure enough, there was everything in the car, including bacon, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, especially jars of wine and bundles of cloth. Moreover, they are loaded separately when loading the truck. Two batches of the same items are clearly arranged so that the wrong items are not unloaded!
By the time everyone finished unloading the truck, a lot of people had arrived in the village, almost fifty or sixty people in total, and there was a tendency for more and more people to gather. So Ma Pingchuan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly took the driver and drove the ox cart away in a hurry!
At this time, Li Yaozong was being pulled back and forth among the crowd, and the villagers asked him questions here and there, so that he didn't know what to say. Just when everyone was in a mess, someone outside the crowd shouted: "Uncle Goudan is here, make way!"
Hearing this shout, people immediately made a gap on both sides, and then an old man hurriedly walked in. He first nodded to Li Baye, and then looked at Li Yaozong. He looked at it carefully and then patted his thigh and said, "This is my dog egg!"
Everyone laughed when they heard his words, and everyone was happy to see their relatives reunited after a long separation! When Li Yaozong saw his uncle also had tears in his eyes, he stepped forward and saluted! His uncle was stunned!
But as soon as he put down his hand, Mr. Li Ba's face darkened! He said loudly: "Goudan, how come you haven't learned any etiquette in the past few years? You were so anxious to answer just now
, forget it if you don’t kowtow to me. Now that your uncle is here, how can you not kowtow? "
People at this time were still very particular about etiquette. It is a common thing for nephews and nephews who have been away from home all year round to see their elders kowtow one by one when they return home. Especially for wealthy families with a large population, the knees of new pants may be torn if you knock your head down if you are a junior!
Hearing Li Baye's reprimand, Li Yaozong explained awkwardly: "Eighth uncle, uncle, it's not that I don't kowtow, but according to the rules of our navy, when wearing this military uniform, no one can kneel except for my immediate parents! I Didn’t you salute your uncle just now? When you go back and change into civilian clothes, you can kowtow to everyone one by one!"
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously. They had never heard of such a rule. Even Mr. Li Ba and his uncle stared at him with suspicion and anger!
Seeing this, Li Yaozong hurriedly explained: "Eighth uncle, uncle, what I said is true! Our army is a newly established army, called the navy. It is different from the previous navy, and the rules are also different!"
Hearing this explanation, Li Baye squinted his eyes and twirled his beard and said: "I seem to have heard that some kind of navy was recently established, and it was said that it was a grand marshal or an earl! So if Goudan said that, maybe there is something wrong It makes sense! Everyone, please stop crowding around and let Goudan go home and change his clothes, and then go to the ancestral hall to kowtow! You can’t let people say that our Li family has no manners!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone shouting from outside the crowd: "Uncle Li and Aunt Li are here, make way quickly!"
The crowd roared and flashed faster than before, probably just to see whether Li Yaozong was kowtowing or not! At this time, a middle-aged man and woman came in from the crowd, and everyone squinted to see what Li Yaozong was doing.
At this time, Li Yaozong didn't care about the opinions of others. He took two steps forward and knelt on the ground. He took off his big-brimmed hat and put it on the ground and said loudly: "Dad, mother, the baby is back!".
After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground. Just as he was about to kowtow a second time, his mother hugged him! I heard his mother crying loudly: "You bastard, how come you haven't heard from me for five or six years since you left? I thought you died outside!"
As soon as he cried twice, Mr. Li Ba spoke: "What are you talking about? Yaozong is serving as a soldier outside, aren't you cursing him by saying this! And you didn't see that he was still wearing a military uniform, hurry up Let him go home and change into casual clothes before offering incense to his ancestors!"
