Looking up at the stars in 1946

But he said that since Wang Yuandao said that he wanted to elect a village chief in the village, everyone didn't care at first.I thought it was just changing the previous Chen Dibao to Chen Village Chief, just changing the name.But not long after, there was another rumor that Fourth Master Qi also wanted to be the village chief, and he was competing with Chen Dibao.This was beyond everyone's expectations.The Qi family and the Chen family are both members of Yuanmao Village. Compared with the young and strong Qi Si, Chen Dibao, who has half his foot in the coffin, really has no chance of winning.

When Han Yan came home from the festival, Han Yanniang secretly called her to ask him if it was true.

Han Yan hesitated for a while, before saying: "There is such a thing. A while ago, Wang Yuandao often came to the courtyard to talk about this matter with Fourth Master, saying that a Japanese official recommended Fourth Master."

Han Yanniang was taken aback, and said, "Qi Si has something to do with the Japanese?"

Han Yan shook his head and said, "No, didn't a few Japanese soldiers pass by our village a few years ago? They happened to live in the compound."

Han Yanniang said angrily: "Isn't that related? The Japanese are so bad! Have you counted how many girls in our village have been ruined? Do you know how much food has been robbed from our village! Then Qisi can receive them?!"

Han Yan sighed, and said: "Mother, this is not what you think. The fourth master had a child who happened to be an interpreter for the Japanese. When passing through our village, the car broke down, so he rested at Qi's house. "

Han Yanniang said unhappily: "That's the same, it's a nest of snakes and rats!"

Han Yan frowned when he heard it, and just wanted to explain a few words, but then thought of his current situation, he estimated that if he stayed in the Qi family compound for a day, his mother would not want to see Qi Si for a day, and it was useless to persuade him too much, so he had to bury his head in kneading the face .

Speaking of which, Qi Si was able to reach the position of village chief because of Feng Xin's line.At first, Qi Si was unwilling to take on this job. He was used to being arrogant since he was a child, and he couldn't do low-key jobs. If he accidentally angered the Japanese, he might die.What's more, he naturally likes to do business, and he still wants to continue to open his winery. Unfortunately, the Japanese demanded too much tax. Qi Si reckoned that he couldn't make much money in a year, so he had to give up in the end.Although the gambling houses in the county are still operating, the world is in chaos, and the business has become quite deserted.Fortunately, the opium business is still going on, so the Qi family compound has not run out of food.However, the servants and long-term workers have resigned several times, which means that the past is different from the past.

Qi Si carried the family on his shoulders, so he was naturally the first to feel the family's defeat. Although it hadn't reached the point where the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, compared with the previous few years, it was still a bit depressed.When sitting idle with nothing to do, Leng Ding felt a little sad.Standing at thirty is the age to work hard, but Qi Si feels a little powerless from time to time.

Troubled times are beyond our control.Qi Si recalled the scene when Master Qi asked him to marry Lu Fengniang.

"You go to divorce now, I will take care of it for three years, and you can take your mother to beg for food."

"I originally thought that if your brother went to the army, he would become an officer, and the family would be able to borrow money. Who knows that once the beast went to the pass, he would not even have any news, so it would be useless. Now he has been bullied. At the end of the day, you can bear it if you want, I will help you get rid of the kiss today."

"How capable is Boss Lu?"

"It's not Boss Lu, it's her wife. His wife is the younger sister of Erhuzi, the bandit leader in the northern mountains."

"This is not a long-term one. One day, just like Chen Sanshun, it will be gone if it is gone."

"Before they are gone, they will kill you first."

The past is vivid.Qi Si let out a long sigh. He finally understood that this village chief was trying to drive ducks to the shelves, and he deserved it if he wasn't right.

Ever since Chen Dibao heard the news that Qi Si was going to compete with him, he couldn't stop for a moment, and thinking of Wang Yuandao's enthusiasm for the Qi family, Chen Dibao's heart suddenly became cold.When old man Qi was still there, he didn't dare to compete with him, Chen Yiping, but he, Qi Si, was a big hand, and he rushed to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

Sitting still and waiting for death is not an option, Chen Di kept good wine and good food, rolled up a heavy bundle of coins, and reported to the village palace early in the morning.

Wang Yuandao was full of wine and food, picked his teeth, spit out a little meat, and said to Chen Dibao who was over sixty years old: "Old Chen, this matter is really difficult, our Manchukuo values ​​democracy, everyone I can choose whoever I want, and I don't dare to meddle in it."

Chen Dibao chuckled, his face wrinkled into a rotten chrysanthemum, pushed the bulging bundle of coins into Wang Yuandao's hand, and said, "Director Wang, what are you talking about? If you say one, who dares to say the other? As long as you can help me say..."

"This is where you want to go!" Wang Yuandao interrupted him, put the money into his hand, and gestured to the cigarettes on the table with his eyes. Chen Dibao understood, nodded and bowed quickly, packed the tobacco and lit it, and sent it to Wang Yuandao .

Wang Yuandao took a puff of cigarette, exhaled, and finally assured Chen Di: "It's not that I won't help you, it's that there are people in the Qi family."

Chen Dibao was confused, thinking that Qi Yishan had joined the Kwantung Army in his early years, but he had already retreated to the Kwantung Army. Apart from Qi Si, who else is there in the Qi family compound now?

Wang Yuandao glanced at Chen Dibao, and said, "Do you know Feng Xin? Now he is the translator of the general staff of the army stationed in the county, and he is the thread for Qi Si." Chen Dibao immediately heard Feng Xin's name. It sounded familiar, and it took me a while to realize that it was the prodigal son of Boss Feng's family in Feng Ji Liangxing.Qi Biao and Boss Feng are sworn brothers, so it makes sense for him to come forward to pull Qi Si.

Chen Dibao smiled a little stiffly, and said: "It turns out that he was recommended by Young Master Feng, so it must be right! This person loves to worry about things at a young age!"

Wang Yuandao patted Chen Dibao on the shoulder and said, "Old Chen, you can just open your mind. I heard that you are already hugging your great-grandson, right? Go home and hug your grandson more!"

"Director Wang is right, hey, my good grandson wants to eat candied haws today, so what, Director Wang, I have nothing to do and I'll go first."

"Go, go." Wang Yuandao waved his hand, hiccupped, and smoke came out.

As soon as Chen Dibao came home, let alone hugging his grandson, he scolded the remaining two sons first.The two sons were overwhelmed with anger, so they retorted a few words, and Chen Dibao smashed all the things on the table with his backhand.Seeing that something was wrong, the daughter-in-law quickly called her mother-in-law Chen Qinshi out.Before Chen Qin entered the door, he heard the sound of "cracking" and falling things from the room, and immediately got angry, and said sharply: "Which prodigal thing is throwing things?!"

She was ten years younger than Chen Dibao, over half a century old, with a loud voice that could be heard through ten floors of walls.Chen Dibao is not afraid of anyone, but the ones in his house.Chen Qinshi was about to curse when she was angry, and the curse was endless, coupled with that penetrating voice, it only made people want to hit the wall.

As soon as Chen Qinshi arrived, Chen Dibao fell silent.

"You can, my surname is Chen! If you have the guts, go outside and scold your son by throwing things in the house in broad daylight? Half of your body buried in the soil and you still have a donkey temper? Are you full again today?" You have to find something to do when you have nothing to do!"

Chen Qinshi put her back on her hips, stared at her, finished cursing in one breath, turned around and sat on the top of the kang, panting for breath.

The son and daughter-in-law have all slipped away since Chen Qinshi entered the house, and if they stay any longer, it will inevitably bring disaster to Chi Yu.Chen Dibao was scolded by the scolding in his room so that his heart beat faster and he sweated profusely. It took him a while to recover, and he slowly sat down on the kang.

Chen Qinshi snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, okay, why are you throwing things in the room and scolding your son?" After chasing and cursing, but usually they don't go away after cursing, but ask the reason carefully. Many times, Chen Dibao can't see through things that he can't understand, but Chen Qinshi can understand them at a glance.This is also one of the reasons why Chen Dibao didn't even dare to give a fart when Chen Qinshi has been domineering at home for so many years, and Chen Qinshi gave birth to three strong sons in one go. Daring backing.

Chen Dibao said with a sad face, "You know that Qisi kid wants to be the village chief, right?"

"Have you heard something? But it's better to be familiar with it than to be a stranger. Doesn't Wang Yuandao know that you have more advantages?" Chen Qinshi broke open and smashed.

"Don't mention it, Wang Yuandao can't be the master either. Qi Si's youngest son is Feng Ji Liangxing's son. He works as an interpreter for the Japanese and sets up a thread for Qi Si. Everything I do here is useless! "

Chen Qinshi frowned when she heard this, and said, "If this is the case, it's really difficult..."

"Oh! If only Chen Gen was here..." Chen Dibao said with a sigh.His eldest son, who was a bandit, was beaten to death two years ago when he robbed Taoist priests. Otherwise, he could have recruited an official and a half-job in Manchuria!

Chen Qinshi mentioned that her eldest son's eyes were also a little wet, and she said after a while: "Don't mention it, it's Chen Gen's fate. Fortunately, there are Chen Zhi and Chen Hua. If you want me to tell you, don't keep judging them. Comparing with the boss, they all have resentment in their hearts!"

"Can it be compared? The four boys of the Qi family can carry a whole family by themselves, and then look at our house. There are so many things inside and outside the house, and you and I, two people over fifty years old, are responsible. You say, If it wasn't for the sake of these two bastards, I wouldn't be able to hold on to the position of village chief!"

At the end of Chen Dibao's speech, he slapped his thigh angrily.Chen Qinshi also felt uncomfortable hearing it, patted Chen Dibao's hand, and said: "You said, I also know that my son is always in debt, what else can I do except suffer?" Don't be angry, people in their 60s, be careful not to get angry. There are hundreds of farmland around our house, and people will not die of hunger."

Chen Dibao said: "It's not that you don't know where the hundreds of dams of our family's land came from. Didn't you take advantage of the land insurance to search it bit by bit? The idea of ​​those places?"

"That's true." Chen Qinshi said slowly, "We can't make him so cheap!"

"That's why I got angry! Can you tell me what you can do?"

Chen Qinshi lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "I remember that Qi Yishan was a very high-ranking official in the Kwantung Army, right? Didn't he return to the Qijia compound four years ago in a car and follow him?" How many soldiers?"

Chen Dibao nodded and said, "That's right, but after the Japanese came, he retreated to the customs, and there has been no news in the past few years."

Chen Qin asked again: "Tell me, how much did Qiyishan help Qisi's factory?"

"That's probably too much, but the factory has long been bombed by the Japanese, so it's useless, right?"

Chen Qinshi laughed like a poisoned blade, and said, "Didn't Qi Si take advantage of Qi Yishan's momentum to suppress you back then? Let's retaliate today and give him the title of Qi Yishan." Send it back."

As he spoke, he explained to Chen Dibao in detail, and Chen Dibao was delighted to hear that, and he praised him for being lucky enough to marry such a good wife in three lifetimes.
