As the sky brightened, he entered the courtyard, just about to go out, but saw an old man with a youthful face and white hair, wearing a white shirt, with a long beard fluttering, standing in front of the flower stand.
"Grandpa." Xiang Tianliang hastily stepped forward, supporting the old man's arm and calling out warmly.
This old man is Zhen Tian's grandfather, Xiang Liang.
Xiang Zhen Tian nodded and patted Xiang Tian Liang's head, a faint smile on his face.
"How did you get back?"
Zhen Tian had specifically instructed Zhen Liang that after going to work, he should focus on his job and try not to run back home frequently, so as not to be distracted by the various trivial matters at home.
Hurriedly put on a smiling face towards Tian Liang.
"Look what you said, my dad and sixth uncle were caught, I as a son and nephew didn't come back, is that acceptable?"
"Hum, your sixth uncle had it coming."
"Hey, what about my dad?"
"He had it coming."
"Grandfather, this thing you said is not right, is it?"
"Hum, who let him interfere with other people's business? He should just focus on farming and raising pigs, would the police be able to find him?"
Xiang Zhen Tian's face was unhappy.
After some thought, these words also make sense. Tian Liang said to himself, his father has never been in charge of anything for his whole life, and whenever something happens at the Tian's house, he doesn't need to take the lead. This time is different though, as soon as he takes the lead, he gets into trouble.
He glanced at the west wing of the house and said, "Grandpa, you look so unhappy, Grandma must not be home, right?"
"Shut up, kid! Don't mention that old witch to me again."
Xiang Tianliang couldn't help but smile secretly. If his mother were at home, the two sons would have been caught and she would have cried out loud long ago.
Grandpa and grandma can be said to be a pair of happy enemies, the two quarreled for a lifetime, until now the outcome is still undecided.
One is a martial artist, with high moral character and prestige, but likes to be quiet and meditates like a monk. The other is a spiritual medium, summoning wind and rain, befriending ghosts and gods, often going out, with a pair of small feet, traveling all over Qinghe's seven counties and three districts. When they are together, they quarrel as soon as they meet, but after the argument, they get along even better.
In career, the two old men were also competing with each other, not giving in to each other. You took in a certain number of apprentices, I would take in the same number of sons and daughters. When you celebrated your 70th birthday with 32 tables, when my 70th birthday came around, I had to set up 33 tables.
After all, grandma still wins more often.
Xiang Tianliang said to Xiang Xin, this "wife-dominated" habit of the Xiang family must have been passed down from grandfather.
"Grandpa, don't look so stern, okay? I came back in a hurry this time and didn't bring you anything. If others saw it, they'd think you're angry about that."
Xiang Zhen Tian finally smiled slightly.
"Go on, there's someone waiting for you outside... Think of a way to get your dad out first."
As Tian Liang arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he indeed saw a person, plump and round, with his back to him, sitting on the steps, enjoying mantou in one hand and soy milk in the other.
"Hey, wooden spoon." He walked up to Tian Liang and gently kicked him.
"Brother, I knew you were back."
Mugunghwa's real name is Lee Jaehwan, a middle school classmate of Hwang Taehee, and he is currently the land administrator of Jincheon Town Hall.
Xiang Tian Liang had almost never called Li Zi Hua by his real name, because the nickname "Mu Shao" was given by him, and their language teacher even praised him for being very creative.
Because of his short and sturdy build, Mu Sheng also has a nickname called Potato. It's unknown who started calling him that first, which somewhat tarnishes the image of good friends. Xiang Tian Liang had never called him that before.
"Curious about the sky brightening, he asked: 'We've arrived at the gate, why don't we go in?'"
"Heh heh, I've been to your house at least a dozen times or so. I still remember the rules of your household - walking around with food will get you scolded by your grandfather."
He burst out laughing and plopped down on the steps, snatching half a bun from Li Zixiao's hand and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Mu Sheng, this time brother's family is in trouble, it's up to... it's up to you guys to lend a hand."
"Whatever you say, Brother Xiang, your business is my business, your father is my father."
In the third year of junior high school, Li Zihao, who was short and had an ordinary appearance, often suffered from bullying. Xiang Tianliang, the best fighter in the school, always rushed out to avenge him first. This kind of "fighting" friendship is as strong as iron.
"First of all, how did you get into the town government?" Xiang Tianliang asked with a smile. He remembered that Li Muzhang's family was in the tofu business and he had only attended high school for one year before following his father out to do tofu business.
Li Zi Xun habitually touched the back of his head, smiling and saying: "To say it, I'm just lucky. My uncle is the village branch secretary, last year the town recruited contract staff, gave my uncle a quota, but he didn't have any children, couldn't bear to give it to others, and wouldn't dare not take it either. So among us cousins, he chose one, guess what? Among 7 or 8 people, only I had attended high school, haha! Just like that, with just one phone call, I was summoned back from a thousand miles away, before I even figured out what was going on, I suddenly became an official!"
Xiang Tianliang also burst out laughing, "Damn it, you don't even have a high school diploma, you must have taken some detour!"
"Haha, spent 3,000 yuan and got a diploma from school."
"I'm telling you, without a high school diploma or above, it's impossible to get into government offices."
"Money can make a ghost grind a mill."
Tian Liang said, "According to you, if my brother-in-law wants to expand production by buying more factories, he'll have to spend money on roads too." In his heart, he thought, with your little virtue, it's not like the wool comes from the sheep itself. If you throw out 3,000, you're afraid of getting back 30,000 early.
"Anyway, it's just like that." Li Muzhang replied casually.
"How dare you, you little brat, also collecting?"
"Dare not dare, Brother Xiang, can I accept brother-in-law's money?" Li Muzhang hastily shook his head and said, "We're family, friendship comes first, friendship comes first."
"Your brother-in-law's matter, I'll leave it to you to handle. You pave the way and he pays the bill. The overall principle is to be fast, efficient and cost-effective. Nothing can be done without spending money, but try to achieve big things with small expenses."
"Don't worry, I've got it covered." Li Zishu patted his chest, guaranteeing it with utmost confidence.
Xiang Tianliang put away his smile, "Then tell me, how is the matter between my dad and Sixth Uncle going to be resolved?"
He scratched the back of his head and said with difficulty: "Xiang Ge, I really can't help much with this matter. I'm a contract worker and I'm still hoping that my leader will show mercy and convert me to a regular employee. Now the secretary and the mayor are fighting fiercely on both sides, I don't dare to get involved. If I slightly lean towards one side, I'll be finished."
Toward Tian Liang Mo Ran, this kid, after a year and a half in the government agency, is much smarter than before, thinking of himself more than others, he naturally understands his good friend's difficulties.
Li Zi Xuan leaned in, speaking softly: "Xiang Ge, aren't you usually full of ideas? I think for this matter, you should come up with a plan to take down Chen Zhen Zhang quickly, the sooner the better, lest things get complicated."
"Damn it, I don't even know him, what can I use to control him?" Tian Liang scolded.
"Find someone who knows Chen Zhenlang well." Li Zihao blinked his small eyes.
"Quickly, who is he?"
