Sun Yong drove the car on the spacious road.
He looked at Yang Xiao sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror.
Yang Zhennan is now a legend in Longshan County.
A big-headed soldier came down from the battlefield and climbed step by step to the position of commander of the provincial military region and member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee.
Yang Xiaoling often talks about her second brother at home and how outstanding her two children are.
Never had a chance to meet.
Sun Yong is very curious about Yang Zhennan's family.
Today I saw a real person.
Sun Yong turned his head slightly and asked:
"Your name is Yang Xiao, right?
Have you graduated from college? Where are you working now? "
Yang Xiao replied:
“It’s been more than two years since I graduated.
Now I work in the Public Security Bureau of a small county in Xichuan.
The development there is slow and cannot compare with Longshan. "
"Police, that's good!" Sun Yong wanted to talk to Yang Xiao, but Yang Xiaoling, who was sitting next to him, stopped him with her eyes.
An Yi, who was also sitting in the back row, was always looking at her cousin Yang Xiao.
Anyi doesn't like her two cousins.
Even a little afraid of them.
This cousin in front of me is different.
His words and deeds are very decent. Although he is also tall, he is not rude. He always has a smile on his face that makes people like him.
Not long after the car with several people passed through Anren Town, it turned into a sidewalk that was barely big enough for two cars to pass.
The car slowed down.
Yang Xiao looked out the window at the unfamiliar environment.
He doesn't have much impression of this place anymore.
I only vaguely remember that my hometown house is on the edge of a stone road, with a knee-deep creek in front of it.
Yang Ning took him down to the river to catch crabs, but his father Yang Zhennan dragged him up from the water and gave him a good beating. From then on, the two siblings never dared to go into the river privately again.
This beating was one of Yang Xiao's few memories of his hometown.
At this time, there were more vehicles on the narrow sidewalk.
There are several excavators parked on the wasteland on the roadside.
After driving a few dozen meters, the sidewalk was completely blocked.
Sun Yong had to park the car on the side of the road.
Several people got out of the car and walked forward. The further they walked, the more people gathered on the sidewalk.
After turning a corner, there is a large building with four or five floors standing next to the sidewalk.
The building is beautifully built.
The spacious courtyard is surrounded by high walls.
The courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and dozens of banquet tables were set up.
The big Chinese character "Shou" in the middle is particularly conspicuous.
This should be my uncle's house.
However, it was already approaching twelve o'clock, and no guests were seated at the banquet. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.
Several tall and sturdy men stood in front of the door holding poles.
In front of them appeared to be government workers, including police officers and some workers wearing hard hats.
A fierce quarrel was taking place between the two sides.
"Yang Zhendong, your building occupies cultivated land and was built without approval. It seriously violates the national regulations on the renovation of rural homesteads. We demolish illegal buildings in accordance with the law. You are violently resisting the law!" The person who spoke looked upright and scolded those who blocked the way. People in front of the building get out of the way.
There was a Taishi chair in the crowd in front of the door. Yang Zhendong sat on the chair with a golden sword and said with disdain:
"Mayor Qiu, don't talk to me about the law!
I know the law better than you!
Without even looking at whose house this is, if I give you ten courages, do you dare to demolish it? "
Mayor Qiu scolded him righteously:
"Why don't you dare!
No one is too big to deal with the law!
I have demolished this building today!
Step aside! "
"You dare to move and try it!" Several strong men gathered around Yang Zhendong jumped out, and someone shouted loudly:
"Whoever wants to demolish the building today should step over my body!"
In order to avoid conflicts, government staff came forward to persuade the young and energetic mayor, and the crowd gathered in front of the courtyard took a few steps back.
Yang Zhendong looked even more proud when he saw the government people giving in.
When Yang Xiao returned to his hometown, he saw a big show and asked:
"Sister-in-law, what on earth is going on?"
"We're finally making trouble!" Yang Xiaoling stamped her feet anxiously, walked forward faster, and said:
"Your uncle will only turn fifty-nine next month. Where is the sixtieth birthday party? This is all a cover-up for him!"
Yang Xiaoling pointed to the magnificent building in front of her and said breathlessly:
“In the past few years, your uncle’s two sons have made some money taking on government projects in the county in your father’s name.
I went back to my hometown and built a building like this.
However, due to illegal land use, the town issued a penalty notice for illegal construction from the day construction started.
Your uncle built the building even though he knew it was against the law. "
Sun Yong also knew about this. He took Yang Xiaoling's arm and took over the words:
“A month ago, the town posted a notice to demolish the building, and your uncle kept delaying it under the pretext of holding a birthday party.
Your sister-in-law didn't expect that he would actually send the invitation to your home.
It seems that your uncle wants to use your father's name to put pressure on the town, so that the town will be wary of demolition.
Yang Xiao, in this situation... why don't you go back to Chengdu.
Things got serious and it affected your father. "
Things have become big!
Yang Xiao knew very well how bad the impact would be on his father, who had just been promoted to commander of the provincial military region, if things were not handled properly.
There was a commotion again in front of the courtyard gate.
Yang Zhendong and his two sons took the initiative to provoke and shouted to the mayor who was leading the demolition team:
"Mayor Qiu, I have invited General Yang to my birthday party. He is my brother and he is coming back soon. Are you blocking him here to make him laugh?
Let me tell you, the building has already been renovated, why don't we just accept the punishment?
How much is it, you make a price!
You are not here in vain.
We've agreed to invite you in for a glass of wedding wine, how about that? "
Mayor Qiu turned red with anger and scolded:
“Is this a problem that can only be solved by imposing a fine?
I don't care about General Yang, he is standing in front of me today and this building has been demolished! "
"Hey!" Yang Zhendong sneered, put his hands on his hips and shouted:
"Mayor Qiu, what a powerful official!
Believe it or not, I will ask you to pack up and get out tomorrow! "
"Brother!"
Yang Xiaoling finally arrived at the scene of the conflict. She squeezed through the crowd in front of her, rushed to Yang Zhendong and persuaded her hard:
“Brother, please stop making trouble!
You will harm your second brother if you do this! "
Yang Zhendong glanced at his sister Yang Xiaoling, threw her hand away and cursed contemptuously:
"Get away!
You have nothing to do here!
Am I building this building for myself?
Not just to save face for my younger brother who is an official!
A dignified general doesn't even have a decent building at home. I can't afford to lose that man! "
Yang Xiao followed Yang Xiaoling to the courtyard gate.
When I looked at it from a distance just now, I felt that this building was very majestic.
Now that I got closer, I realized that it was more than just grandeur, it was simply exaggerated!
The courtyard is as big as two basketball courts.
There are thirty or forty tables and it’s not crowded at all.
Yang Xiao pushed aside the few strong men blocking the courtyard gate and rushed in.
The eyes of everyone present were focused on Yang Xiao.
"CNM, who are you!"
Yang Zhendong's eldest son, Yang Tao, rushed towards Yang Xiao with a pole and curses.
