Chapter 68

This kid Qi Delong is quite interesting. Because of him, his father Seeing Qi Kexiu changed from a Yanjing person to a rural person.

The educated youth Seeing Qi Kexiu originally had the chance to return to the city, but was kidnapped from the train by Fan Chunhua, who was three months pregnant, in collusion with her cousin Wei Jiefang and others. Marry or be charged with hooliganism, choose one.

Seeing Qi Kexiu was sensible, chose to marry, then had a son, and lost his household registration.

Later, in order to obtain Yanjing household registration, Qi Delong worked like a horse in Yanjing for several years, and finally became a Yanjing person again by marrying an old Yanjing woman ten years his senior.

Of course, ten years older is an old woman, eight or nine years older can only be considered a good sister.

Life under someone else's roof is not easy. Later, Wei Ming let Qi Delong work as a field manager in his film and television company. He is steady and much more reliable than Seeing Qi Kexiu.

The donkey cart is slow, the motorcycle is fast. Even with three people on the bike, even if the road is not flat, the efficiency of the machine is still terrifying.

So Wei Ming stopped to wait for Lao Lao Lao Wei after riding for a while. Once on the main road, the donkey cart could barely keep pace with the slowed-down motorcycle.

Lao Lao Lao Wei said to his son: "Wouldn't it be bad if we went to Old Man Yang's house empty-handed? Should we buy some eggs at the market?"

Wei Ming said: "That bottle of Maotai was originally two bottles. I left one for the elder yesterday."

Hiss!

Wei Jiefang felt a bit of heartache, but still forced a smile, "It should be. You didn't trouble Yang Laoshi and Old Yang less during the four years you were in high school. It's just a bottle of wine."

Speaking of Yang Laoshi Shutin, Wei Hong also started gossiping. She is the head of the high school English teaching and research group, a high-achieving student who graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University. Although she is already forty, she is elegant and beautiful, and can be considered unique among the female teachers in the school.

"Now many middle-aged single men in the county organs want to pursue Yang Laoshi, but she doesn't like any of them."

Wei Ming smiled: "They have no chance. Although she is divorced, her feelings haven't been broken."

And every winter and summer vacation, Yang Laoshi takes Liu Rulong to Guangzhou, and Long's father has already obtained formal Hong Kong status, so it's relatively convenient to enter and exit Guangdong.

Wei Jiefang asked curiously: "How is Liu Rulong's father doing in Hong Kong?"

"Although I don't know exactly what he does, judging by the income in Hong Kong, it shouldn't be bad. What Long wears and uses daily are all famous brands, and he often enters and exits places like overseas Chinese stores."

Wei Jiefang sighed: "The times are really different. Before, people were afraid of having overseas relations; now, they wish they had overseas relations."

Hearing him say this, Wei Ming suddenly asked: "Dad, if one day, overseas relations come to you, do you want this relationship or not?"

Wei Hong was surprised: "Ah? Does our family have overseas relations?"

Wei Jiefang said firmly: "Don't want it, definitely don't want it. If your great-uncle or your great-aunt writes to me, I won't even look at it, I'll burn it directly!"

"Great-uncle? Great-aunt? Who are they?" Wei Hong was even more confused.

Wei Jiefang: "Your grandfather's brother and sister. I've never seen them, don't even know if they are alive or dead."

In front of this kid Qi Delong, Wei Jiefang didn't want to say too much, because their family had suffered a lot because of these two people he had never met. At that time, Wei Hong was still young and had no impression, but Wei Ming remembered it clearly.

Wei Ming hurriedly urged: "Dad, if there really is a letter from overseas, you must not rush to burn it. Let me take a look first."

Lao Lao Lao Wei waved his hand: "Got it, got it. You are the backbone of our family now, I will definitely discuss big things with you."

Wei Ming smiled, that's right.

Because the livestock market closed early, they went to buy a pig first. The market in Chengguan Town was on the edge of the county town, not far from Yang Songqiao's house.

Because there were only four months left before the New Year, buying a pig that was too small wouldn't grow up by the New Year, so Lao Lao Lao Wei, a professional, bought a half-grown pig that was three months old, healthy, and strong, and asked for a pig cage from the seller.

Then he took the three little ones to drink tofu brain and eat deep-fried dough sticks. Qi Delong, who had run away from home, also mixed in a delicious meal.

As for running away from home, it had long been forgotten. It was estimated that he would go back after wandering around the city with them.

Going back would definitely involve a beating, so he had to eat something good to make up for it.

"I'll buy another chick," Lao Lao Lao Wei looked at the old man selling chickens next to him, "The one that died laid eggs the most diligently, so I have to replace it."

Wei Ming said: "Why don't you buy a few more? The policy has relaxed now."

In fact, another trouble with raising chickens these days was the feed problem. After all, people didn't have enough to eat.

However, this wasn't a problem for their family. Because they lived on the edge of the village, they usually let the chickens out, letting them catch insects and eat grass in the fields, and they wouldn't starve to death. They all knew how to come home at night.

"Okay, then buy three!"

Wei Hong poked Qi Delong: "Long, three chickens, one pig, how many legs are there in total?" Qi Delong calculated with his fingers and finally reached the conclusion of nine.

Wei Jiefang laughed: "It's not wrong for your father to beat you."

"Is it wrong?" Qi Delong ran to the donkey cart and looked at the piglet, then squatted for a while at the old man selling chickens. He seemed to have really made a mistake.

"It's ten legs," and then he asked back, "Sister Hong, then add a donkey, how many legs are there in total?"

"Fourteen legs."

Qi Delong said proudly: "Wrong, it's fifteen legs. If you don't believe me, go count."

Wei Hong really went, and after coming back, she gave Qi Delong a beating.

However, the simple and honest Long didn't know what he had done wrong again. Why was everyone beating him? It was clearly fifteen legs!

Thirteen-year-old Wei Hong already understood some things, while nine-year-old Qi Delong knew nothing about people.

After leaving the market, Wei Jiefang let Wei Ming return the bike himself, and they would wait for him here. With chickens, pigs, and a donkey, it wasn't convenient to visit.

"Brother, I'll go with you." Wei Hong said, getting on the back seat of the motorcycle.

!

"Aren't you most afraid of going to the teacher's house?"

Wei Hong: "I want to ask you something."

"What?"

"What's going on with our great-uncle and great-aunt?"

Wei Ming: "Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. It's all in the past, but it has to start from our great-grandfather."

Great-grandfather was the great-grandfather.

"When great-grandfather was young, he traveled to Cangzhou to learn martial arts and acquired superb martial arts skills. However, he had good skills but the country was crumbling, so he heard that a military academy had opened in Baoding, so he left his wife and young children and ran to go to school. It was the first cohort!"

"Ah! The Baoding Military Academy in the history books?"

"That's right. Later, after graduation, he served as a fist and foot instructor there for several years, but in the end, he became a professional soldier and died in the First Northern Expedition."

Wei Hong still understood some history. She asked: "Then which side was great-grandfather on?"

The First Northern Expedition was the three forces of the National Revolutionary Army during the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation to crusade against the Northern Warlords, namely Wu Peifu of the Zhili clique, Zhang Zuolin of the Fengtian clique, and Sun Chuanfang of the Zhili clique.

Wei Ming said: "He was on the side of the National Revolutionary Army."

Wei Hong breathed a sigh of relief. After all, according to the history textbooks, the National Revolutionary Army was the side of justice. Great-grandfather was on the side of justice!

Wei Ming added: "Before the Northern Expedition, great-grandfather sent his eldest son, our great-uncle, to the Whampoa Military Academy. He was a student in the sixth cohort of Whampoa."

This was even more famous. Wei Hong suddenly felt that she, a rural girl, was suddenly related to modern history.

And the relationship was very deep, "Do you know who was in the sixth cohort of Whampoa?" Wei Ming asked.

Wei Hong shook her head; she didn't know very well.

So Wei Ming told her about it, and she was stunned. There were many big figures in history books.

"So grandfather was on our side, great-uncle was on the opposite shore, and great-aunt was abroad?"

"You summarized it very accurately."

"Ah, oh my!" Wei Hong's face flushed red, "Then our family's composition is too complicated!"

She had always thought that her family was a poor peasant family for eight generations and had a red root.

Wei Ming: "Who says it isn't."

As they talked, they arrived at Old Man Yang Songqiao's house, a quiet, independent courtyard.

And at the same time, the Dog Village brigade leader Zhao Chunlai temporarily convened a meeting, wanting to talk about Wei Jiefang's problem...
