The changes on Li Fengnian's face did not escape Zhou Yang's eyes. With just one glance, he knew that his father-in-law must have recognized the person inside.
At that moment, Zhou Yang handed the son in his arms to his uncle's arms!
At the same time, he said to Li Youwei: "Dabao and Xiaobao have just fallen asleep. You and eldest brother should send them to the next room, so as not to wake them up soon!"
Li Youwei nodded and immediately took her eldest brother to the next room.
Zhou Yang followed his father-in-law closely and walked into the main room.
In the room, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang and Mr. Zhang were drinking tea and chatting.
They had all forgotten how many years it had been since they sat on the earthen kang in the countryside, leaning against the quilt, drinking tea leisurely and comfortably like this.
While they were chatting, the door of the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with gray hair wearing a cadre uniform walked in.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhang didn't react at all, but Mr. Yang subconsciously put down the bowl in his hand. The man in front of him looked so familiar!
"Old chief...do you still remember me?" Li Fengnian said with a trembling voice.
"Are you...are you Li Dayue Cake?" Mr. Yang's voice was also a little excited.
"It's me...it's me...after all these years, old chief, you still remember me!"
"Why don't you remember, you little bastard, you just left without saying a word? You have to wait until I come back to deal with such big things!"
"I'm sorry, old chief, we can't implicate you..."
Before Li Fengnian could finish speaking, Mr. Yang said angrily: "What the hell, what did I tell you back then and you learned it all?"
Seeing that Mr. Yang was a little excited, Mr. Jiang immediately said: "Old Yang, don't be excited, speak slowly if you have anything to say!"
Mr. Zhang also echoed: "That's right, don't forget your blood pressure, you can't be too excited!"
Zhou Yang, who was behind Li Fengnian, also stood up and said, "Dad, you are really Mr. Yang's subordinate. No wonder Xiaowei said that she had seen Mr. Yang in the photo!"
"There is indeed a photo of me and the old leader at home. We had just finished the war. The old leader came to inspect our reconnaissance company and took that photo!" Li Fengnian said.
"I remembered that that time I sent you a lot of mooncakes, and you ate 8 of them in one go, so you got the nickname Li Da Mooncake!" Mr. Yang said with a smile.
"I was young at that time and had a heavy appetite!" Li Fengnian said with some embarrassment.
Li Da moon cake?
Zhou Yang couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard that his father-in-law had such a nickname.
But considering his father-in-law's face, he endured it.
"Dad, please go sit on the kang. It's easy to meet Mr. Yang again. I'll prepare some food and drinks for you, and have a few drinks!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK!"
Afterwards, Zhou Yang first came to the main room, took out two bottles of Maotai from the big red cabinet, and sent them to the main room.
This wine was given by Li Changqing to thank Zhou Yang for helping to connect his daughter and son-in-law. There were six bottles in total.
Zhou Yang himself doesn’t usually drink, so he saved it!
After delivering the wine, Zhou Yang returned to the kitchen, planning to cook two side dishes for the people in the room.
After Zhou Yang went out, Mr. Yang looked at Li Fengnian's clothes and said, "What's your position?"
"Director of the Commune!"
"When you left the army, you were already the deputy regiment commander. Why did you become the commune director now?" Mr. Yang frowned.
"Old chief, I was actually retired from injury. After I came back, I did not take up a local position. Instead, I returned to the village and became a brigade secretary. I was transferred to the commune last year!" Li Fengnian said truthfully.
"No wonder!"
Then, Mr. Yang stared at Li Fengnian again, and then said: "There is something that I have never been able to figure out. That matter back then had nothing to do with you, kid. Even if the superiors had to deal with it, they would have to deal with Dashanzi." , why did you kid retreat in such a hurry?"
Li Fengnian smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I became a deserter because I was afraid of being implicated?"
"That's not true. How could there be deserters among the soldiers I brought out?"
Later, Mr. Yang said again: "I don't know what your boy's character is. You don't risk your life in a battle, and you don't even get out of the firing line if you are seriously injured. You can cut off your head and bleed. Others may do such things as desertion, which is a disgrace to the honor of the military, but you, boy I will never do it!”
What Mr. Yang said was categorical!
Li Fengnian said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, old chief, for your trust!"
"I know there must be something I don't know about here. I originally planned to investigate it, but that boy Ye Zhenshan knelt down and begged me not to get involved in this matter, so..."
"Captain...is he okay?"
"Do you think he's okay? He's made such a big mistake!" Mr. Yang said with some hatred for iron.
"Then now he..."
"I can only tell you that the person is still alive. You should not ask any more questions about other things!" Mr. Yang sighed and said.
"It's good to be alive!" Li Fengnang breathed out.
"You guys haven't told me why you left the army without saying a word. When I accepted and returned to the army, the entire Tiger Regiment fell apart. I was so angry that I almost vomited blood!"
There was a trace of struggle in Li Fengnian's eyes, and he opened his mouth to say something, but after looking at Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhang next to him, he finally became silent again.
Mr. Yang was also a man who had seen strong winds and waves. He saw through his concerns at a glance and said immediately: "Lao Jiang and Lao Zhang are both my old comrades in arms. Your slick son-in-law was promoted by Lao Jiang. You You can totally trust them!”
Li Fengnian nodded, then looked outside the window to make sure there was no one before he said, "Because of the child!"
"What child?"
"Brother Ye's child!"
"That's not right. I have several of Ye Zhenshan's daughters taken care of. Where did the child you mentioned run away?" Mr. Yang said with a shocked look on his face.
"He is Brother Ye's youngest son. It's just that before the child was born, the old leader was taken to the capital without knowing about it!" Li Fengnian said.
"So, you suddenly retired from injury because of that child?"
"Well, Brother Ye was already aware of the danger at that time, so he announced to the public that he had given birth to a dead baby as soon as the child was born. Then he asked me to urgently apply for medical treatment, and then returned to his hometown with the newly born child!" Li Fengnian said .
Yang Lao really didn't expect that this matter would have such a complicated inner story.
But it’s understandable if you think about it. Judging from the situation at the time, so many people were affected, and it’s understandable that Ye Zhenshan made such an arrangement.
After all, such a young child couldn't survive in such an environment.
Thinking that Li Fengnian could give up his future and all the benefits in the army for Ye Zhenshan and return to the village for so many years, Mr. Yang and others couldn't help but admire him.
"Then...where is that child now? Is he okay?"
"Very good, I'm staying at Xiao Yang's house!"
Mr. Yang suddenly remembered the little boy he saw when he entered the door just now. Zhou Yang introduced that he was the child of a friend's family and was temporarily fostered with him.
At that time, he felt that the little doll looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
I didn’t expect him to be Ye Zhenshan’s youngest son, no wonder!
"I've wronged you!" Mr. Yang said looking at Li Fengnian.
"What's wrong with this? In fact, it's good to be back. I've been in the army for so many years and I owe so much to my family!" Li Fengnian said.
At this time, Mr. Jiang, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, "Who knows about this matter so far?"
"Apart from me and my family, only the Yan family knows about this!" Li Fengnian said.
"I'm relieved now. This matter is over now. No one should discuss it anymore, so as not to cause further trouble!" Mr. Jiang said in a deep voice.
Mr. Yang also echoed this and said: "Yes, neither the Yan family nor Zhou Yang can withstand the trouble now. We must keep it secret!"
"good..."
.........
(It’s done!)
