Shiao Brigade is located at the foot of Qingyang Mountain, opposite the Baishuitan, with an area of ​​five square kilometers. The entire brigade has more than 1,200 people, composed of Changjia Village and several surrounding small villages. Most of them have surnames Chang, which used to be called Changjia Village. It is said that a leader from above came to inspect and saw that Changjia Village was surrounded by mountains and water, with two stone walls embracing each other. The terrain was dangerous and was a must for the three communes to lead to the county town. So on a whim, Changjia Village was changed to Shiao Village. People in the Chang family have been resentful for decades.

There is a stream ditch that has been dry for a long time at the entrance of Changjia Village, which is the dividing line between Shuiyang Commune and Baishui Commune. There is a stone arch bridge two meters wide on the stream ditch, called Lianshui Bridge. Not far from the bridge is Baishui Pond. Because of the high terrain, you can see Baishui Pond at the entrance of the village. Of course, due to the severe drought, the water level has dropped, and now you can only see the pool but no water.

There is a Dashigang on both sides of the entrance of the village, which is significantly higher than other parts of the village. On one side is the brigade headquarters, the Chang Family Ancestral Hall and a small temple called Qingliang Temple. On the other side, there are two families of Changning and the old district mayor on Shigang.

At the door of Chang Ning's house, there were a large crowd of people. There were almost all of them, with more than a hundred people carrying them on their backs. In addition to hoes, shoulder poles, and other hoes, there were also hunting guns and muskets. The order was not messy, but it was quite terrifying. Chang Ning's uncle Chang Xuejun stood at the door with a submachine gun on his back and explained something. Someone had a sharp eye. When he saw the ox cart under Shigang, he started to shout, "Brother Chang is back", "Uncle Ning is back", Chang Ning is of high age, and some children in the village called him uncle when they saw him.

Chang Ning hurriedly jumped off the ox cart, nimblely crossed dozens of stone steps, and soon came to the crowd. He looked back and forth. Seeing Wang Qunqing and Huang Xiaodong standing there with iron chisels, the troublemaker's cousin Chang Weiguo next to him, his face suddenly sank.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? Are you looking for death?" Chang Ning roared, "Get home, have dinner, and go to the primary school playground to watch a movie."

Chang Weiguo held a hammer and raised his arms and shouted: "Avenge, brother, we are going to kill to Caijiazhuang to avenge you."

"Yes, Caijiazhuang is so bullying, we can't swallow this." Someone was echoing.

"Plant Caijiazhuang."

"Kill Cai Laohu."

Chang Ning blinked at Chang Xuejun beside him. Chang Xuejun understood and took off the submachine gun from his shoulder. He turned on the bullet with a "wow" sound. Chang Ning took it with one hand and pulled the trigger into the sky. "Ba Pa Pa Pa Pa" means a round of bullets flew out.

The scene was silent immediately, and Chang Ning scolded viciously: "Damn, who else can say the word "revenge"? I have ruined his legs. Are you worthy of revenge? I tell you that now I am a cadre of the commune after all. If you want to take revenge, you guys will help. A joke. I have fought with people since I was a child. When did I ask you for help? Get out of here. Whoever doesn't listen to me will stop coming to my house again."

The crowd gradually dissipated, and Chang Ning handed the gun back to Chang Xuejun and glared at Wang Junqing and Huang Xiaodong. They saw that the situation was not good and they quickly left. Chang Weiguo on the side was about to pluck his legs, but Chang Ning stepped forward and grabbed his long hair.

Chang Weiguo was so scared that he threw away the hammer and stammered in his arms, "Brother, I was wrong. I, I don't dare to do it next time. Second uncle, please persuade my brother, Uncle Yu, Doctor Yu, say something, aunt, come out quickly, help, oh."

Chang Ning didn't say anything, grabbed Chang Weiguo with one hand, lifted his legs and greeted him quickly.

Yu Jin and Du Qiulan were stunned. Yu Tinghua wanted to come forward to persuade him, but was stopped by Chang Xuejun beside him.

Chang Weiguo howled for a while, and Chang Ning finally kicked him out. Chang Weiguo rolled a few times on the stone road, got up and ran away without looking.

"Oh," Chang Xuejun sighed to Chang Ning and Yu Tinghua, "This kid, since my elder brother passed away, it has become more and more messy."

Chang Ning said: "Uncle, don't worry too much. Minister Luo and I will discuss the recruitment of troops in the second half of the year and bring him into the army."

Yu Tinghua also said: "I think it's OK. Wei Guo is a piece of information for joining the army at first glance."

At this time, a pretty woman appeared at the door of Chang Ning's house. She was wearing a blue khaki shirt, with long hair shawls and a hoe in the other hand, but her face was filled with smiles. Chang Ning was happy when she saw it. I was so majestic.

Chang Xuejun looked at it and wanted to leave, "Xiao Chang, your mother is still angry, I dare not take the initiative, so I left."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Uncle, stay here to have a few drinks with Lao Yu."

"Ah, another day, another day, I can't communicate with my sister today." Chang Xuejun greeted Yu Tinghua and the other two, and quickly plucked her legs.

"Comrade Chang Xiujuan, my dear mother, which song are you singing today? Oh," Chang Ning shouted intimately while walking to the door.

Chang Xiujuan threw away the hoe and grabbed Chang Ning's ear with a smile, only to see her mouth moving without hearing it.

Chang Ning held his head and shouted, "My mother, there are guests, and there are female guests."

Chang Xiujuan pushed Chang Ning away, nodded to Yu Tinghua and Yu Jin, opened her mouth, but stopped her eyes on Du Qiulan.

Yu Jin pulled Du Qiulan and introduced: "Sister Xiujuan, this is the little Du that I mentioned to you, Comrade Du Qiulan."

Chang Xiujuan smiled and said something, even telling her.

Yu Jin smiled and helped the translator, "Qiulan, Sister Xiujuan treats you as Chang Ning's girlfriend."

Du Qiulan's face turned red and she was busy coming forward to say hello, but her heart felt inexplicably sweet. Looking at Chang Ning again, she had already pulled Yu Tinghua into the yard.

Five stone bungalows, the yard is spacious and clean, with more than ten jujube and peach trees planted. A couplet is posted on the stone door of the main house in the middle, and the letter is written: If you can't stop, don't be greedy for the environment, don't hate others if your fate is the same, but you're missing the banner. Chang Ning went into the house and walked out and shouted, "Mom, where are the two old magpies?"

Chang Xiujuan gestured a few times, and Yu Tinghua said, "Oh, Secretary Xiao Chang, I forgot to tell you that a opera troupe was established in Daqingshan, which was led by your master. It was training and performances there. Your grandmother was once a famous flower actress in all corners of the countryside, and now she is a consultant of the theater troupe. So, your master sent someone to take your grandparents into the mountains."

"Haha, good thing," Chang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the stone bench of a jujube tree and smiled, "Two old magpies chattering, one of them cannot walk without walking, and the other ones cannot walk without walking. Haha, it finally flew up, it flew well, my ears can finally be quiet."

Chang Xiujuan ignored Chang Ning and pulled Yu Jin and Du Qiulan into the house. In this hot and dry season, there was a big water kiln behind Chang Ning's house. It was the highest standard hospitality.

Yu Tinghua came over and squatted down. The two of them lit cigarettes and smoked. Yu Tinghua asked with a smile: "Secretary Xiao Chang, do you think you can be quiet?"

"Oh, Lao Yu, you are obsessed with the city. You are so obsessed with it. You can't help yourself by diving into this vast world. I have no choice. I love my hometown, but I want to stay away from my hometown. You are right. From the day I embarked on the road back to my hometown, I will never be quiet anymore."

"Faced reality bravely," Yu Tinghua patted Chang Ning's shoulder and said, "If you can be a good cadre, I believe you can handle family affairs well. Don't you often say that you are normal and that family affairs are nothing small, and you can't escape it."

"Hehe," Chang Ning smiled, "I can't go to the mountains for the time being. The two old guys' jokes held me firmly. We can't afford to offend, we can be adults and villains. In short, we firmly oppose arranged marriages against me."

Yu Tinghua pointed his hand next door, "But, yours is now married."

"Oh, you all misunderstood. Changchang and I have only been getting along since childhood. We went to and from school to play together. It is not as complicated as you think. It is all that old guy looks down on my family's poverty. I was so angry that I simply admit that. Haha, the country people are not civilized and don't understand that."

Yu Tinghua asked with a smile: "I don't believe it, you don't have that meaning at all?"

Chang Ning smiled embarrassedly, "What do you think? I felt a little sad when I heard the news of her marriage, hehe, just a little bit."

"That's right, I realized that it's like that after losing it."

"Oh, I don't think about it anymore, I'll work hard for the future first."

"But some people don't think so."

Chang Ning looked at Yu Tinghua. Yu Tinghua smiled slightly, then pointed at the next door and said, "Someone cares about you very much and wants to talk to you."

Chang Ning turned his head and looked, and a little girl's pink face suddenly appeared on the side of the low wall, which really scared him.
