Chapter 882: Old friends meet, smile and let go of grudges
"Ah...ouch..."
Yang Jun finished beating Yang Huai early in the morning, stretched and came out of the villa.
"Hey, that's great. I've been so busy and sweaty, so I can exercise."
Yang Jun stretched, tied his belt, tidied his clothes and lazily went home with his hands behind his back.
"Beast, evil beast."
Second uncle Yang Dong's roar came from behind: "I am so old, can I withstand your torment like this?"
Yang Jun came to smoke Yang Huai every day, which made his second uncle Yang Dong tremble with fear. He had a bad heart. After each stroke, his old face became pale and his whole body trembled.
Yang Jun was so cruel that he was frightened when he saw it.
He was worried that if Yang Jun didn't like him one day, he would beat him with seven wolves.
It's not that Yang Jun can't do this kind of thing. This evil beast can put his own uncle under house arrest. Is there anything else that he doesn't dare to do?
"Second uncle, I will give you a box of Wuliang hydraulic pressure suppressor later."
Yang Jun waved his hand and left without looking back.
"Evil beast!"
"Unfilial son!"
There was the sound of bottles being smashed behind me.
After returning home, Yang Jun went upstairs to take a shower.
I changed into clean clothes and went downstairs to eat.
"Where's Zhaodi?"
Yang Jun asked.
"I was called to have dinner by Silly Zhu's mother early in the morning." Yi Qiushui replied.
Since the matter between Sun Zhaodi and Ding Erzhu was settled, the two did not hide their relationship and began to interact openly.
Today, you come to my house for dinner, and I will invite you tomorrow. We go back and forth, and our feelings continue to sublimate.
No, Si Zhu’s mother called her to dinner early in the morning.
"Hmph, is there anything delicious that our family doesn't have?"
Yang Jun said dissatisfied.
He always felt like his cabbage was being eaten by a pig.
In the past, I was worried that Sun Zhaodi would not be able to marry, but now that I have a partner, Yang Jun is reluctant to let her go.
Yang Jun became extremely angry when he thought about that stupid idiot.
"Hey, we really don't have one at home. Silly Zhu's mother caught cicada monkeys all night last night and left them for Zhaodi to eat this morning." Yi Qiushui rolled her eyes.
"You know the monkey?"
Yang Jun kept talking: "I can't have this girl anymore. With such delicious food, I don't even think about her godfather."
"Pfft!"
Yi Qiushui smiled and said, "Don't say it's you, even my godmother is so greedy."
Yang Jun slapped the table and said: "Let's go back and quickly discuss the date and marry her."
"No."
Yi Qiushui pouted and said, "It's great to recruit Di. I don't want her to get married early."
"Okay, go back and tell Si Zhu's mother that we don't agree with this marriage."
"Pfft, you are so funny."
Yi Qiushui said: "You really want Zhaodi to be unable to marry for the rest of her life."
Yang Jun rolled his eyes.
Didn't I just follow your wishes?
"Seriously, Lao Yang, Zhaodi is not young now, and it's time to prepare for their marriage," Yi Qiushui said.
"If you have anything to prepare, we have a house and a car. They can just go and get a certificate."
"That's not okay. After all, you are marrying your daughter, so why should it be a bit ceremonial?"
Yi Qiushui pondered for a moment and said, "Let's make an appointment for them first, and then hold the wedding after a while."
"You women are just hypocritical." Yang Jun rolled his eyes.
According to his wishes, as long as you and I are willing to live together, it will be no problem. It doesn't matter whether we have the piece of paper or not.
"You are not a woman, you don't understand."
Yi Qiushui rolled her eyes: "This is the only time in a woman's life that she can't be too content. Do you think that all the women in the world are like you..."
Speaking of this, Yi Qiushui suddenly stopped.
She wanted to say, do you think all women in the world are as shameless as you women?
But when I thought about it, it was inappropriate to say this in front of my family.
"Yeah, I've been chatting with you to death today."
Yang Jun pushed his rice bowl, smashed his mouth, stood up and walked out.
"The work unit is busy these days, so I won't be back."
Yi Qiushui: "..."
Yang Jun is in a mood.
Since you don't care about me, there are many women who do.
Yang Jun decided to show Yi Qiushui's color.
He drove out and went directly to Yang Qingxiang's place.
He hasn't been to her place since the last time he went shopping with the two of them.
Yang Qingxiang is the most obedient woman among his many women, and she also gave birth to a well-behaved son. This son has never let him worry about him since he was a child. Compared to Yang Chengdao, Yang Jun likes this son more.
Yang Jun did not bring any guards with him today and drove out alone.
When I walked halfway, I saw no one.
So, with a thought, he took out a cake from the space.
When visiting his son, he, as a father, cannot be empty-handed.
Looking at the big cake placed on the passenger seat, Yang Jun was extremely satisfied.
I turned the ignition back on and was about to start the car.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him, and someone staggered and fell to the ground.
"Bah, you stinky beggar, get away."
A man kicked the beggar and left with a look of disgust on his face.
The beggar was kicked to the side of the road motionless, his long hair covered with withered grass covering his face, and his whole body was shaking constantly.
Yang Jun put down the keys in his hand and sat quietly in the car.
After a long while, the beggar finally made some movement.
He curled up for a moment, then tried to get up with one hand on his hands.
But when he climbed halfway, he fell heavily to the ground again.
When Yang Jun saw this, he couldn't bear it, so he got out of the car and prepared to help him.
Before I even got to him, I smelled an unpleasant smell from afar.
In the dog days of summer, the beggar in front of me is still wearing a gray coat, and his body is covered with gray unknown objects.
Yang Jun covered his nose and said, "Are you okay?"
The beggar heard someone talking to him and looked back at Yang Jun.
Then he silently tried to sit up.
However, after turning around, he immediately looked at Yang Jun again.
"It's you?"
The two said at the same time.
Yang Jun recognized the beggar, and the beggar also recognized Yang Jun.
The moment they recognized each other, their faces changed.
The beggar smiled bitterly, then gave up and stood up, sitting directly on the roadside.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again."
Yang Jun smiled and then squatted on the curb on the side of the road.
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for about ten years."
"Thirteen years." The beggar smiled.
"Yes, it's been thirteen years."
Yang Jun smiled and said: "I remember that I changed careers in 1965. That year I entered the steel rolling mill, and you personally arranged for me."
This beggar is none other than Li Huaide, the former director of the steel rolling mill.
I remember that back then, he was caught stealing blueprints for espionage. Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang Jun remembered that he was the one who sent Li Huaide in at that time.
At that time, there was no personal enmity between the two, but a conflict of interest.
In the end, Li Huaide failed and went in.
He, Yang Jun, has risen through the ranks and has been sitting in his current position.
"Haha, who says it's not the case? I think back then..."
Thinking that he is just a beggar now and Yang Jun is a high-ranking official. How could they have the shame to mention what happened back then?
"That's all, that's all, don't mention the past."
Li Huaide waved his hands with a bitter look on his face.
"By the way, Lao Yang, which unit do you work in now?"
Yang Jun smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, pulled out one and gave it to him, and he lit it himself.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, he said calmly: "I'm just dawdling in the *** Committee."
"**Committee?"
Li Huaide was shocked when he heard this.
The hand holding the cigarette kept shaking.
I'm a good boy, I'm just dawdling around, you know, it's the ** Committee.
Li Huaide said that he also wanted to go in and hang out.
"Old Yang, I was so convinced when I lost to you back then."
Li Huaide sighed: "I have to thank you for not killing them all at that time."
If Yang Jun had killed everyone at that time, he would not have been released after being imprisoned for just over ten years.
"Old Li, what do you think after you come out?" Yang Jun asked with squinted eyes.
"Any other ideas?"
Li Huaide patted his right leg and said, "You saw it too. If you lose one leg, you can't do anything."
"Oh, Lao Yang, I have no intention of retaliating against you."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, as long as you have the strength." Yang Jun smiled.
"Old Yang, don't be joking. At my age, there's no need to talk about revenge. It's good if I can survive."
Yang Jun found that after Li Huaide came out, he became more timid and cautious. He had to think twice before speaking.
This is not because he is afraid of Yang Jun, but because he has developed a habit over the years.
Whoever goes in will be timid when they come out.
"Well, I'm not joking with you anymore. Tell me what you have in mind. I'll see if I can help." Yang Jun said.
Li Huaide was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"you help me?"
Yang Jun nodded.
"Does this make up for your apology to me?" Li Huaide asked cautiously.
Yang Jun's face turned: "Old Li, it would be boring if you said that..."
"Yes, yes, I'm just kidding you."
Li Huaide rubbed his belly and said sheepishly: "If it's convenient for you, take me to have a full meal first. I haven't eaten in three days."
After I finished speaking, I heard a growling sound from my stomach.
"Okay, no problem."
Yang Jun stood up and said, "Old Li, just tell me what you want to eat."
"A down-and-out person is not picky about food and can eat anything." Li Huaide slowly got up and said with a wry smile.
When Yang Jun heard this, he looked around.
Suddenly my eyes lit up and I saw a public toilet not far from the roadside.
"Hey, Lao Li..."
When Li Huaide saw this, he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Let me tell you, Lao Yang, you still have the same moral character after all these years, and your habit of joking has not changed at all."
"Ha ha."
Yang Jun laughed and said: "I'm just kidding you, don't take it seriously."
"Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant."
After saying that, Yang Jun opened the passenger door, moved the cake to the back seat, and then helped Li Huaide get into the car.
Yang Jun started the car and drove around the street, then stopped at a Sichuan restaurant.
"Go, go, we don't entertain beggars."
As soon as I entered the door, I was pushed out by the store owner.
Seeing this, Yang Jun quickly took out ten dollars and said: "Boss, it's convenient."
The boss did not take Yang Jun's money, but pointed to the five or six tables of customers in the store and said,
"Comrade, it's not that I can't make it easier. If I really let your friend in for dinner, I won't scare away the guests at other tables."
After saying that, he slapped his nose and said with a look of disgust: "If you smell his smell again, can I let him in?"
Hearing this, Yang Jun nodded and collected the ten dollars.
He can understand the boss's difficulties.
If Li Huaide is really allowed in, I'm afraid no customers will come to the door in the future.
"Okay, boss, we'll eat outside and not go inside, do you think that's okay?"
Yang Jun pointed to an empty table outside and said.
The shop owner frowned and frowned when he heard this.
"Then... okay, but you have to eat over at the curb."
As he spoke, he pointed to a location on the roadside, which was at least twenty meters away from his store.
"OK, no problem."
When Yang Jun saw this, he didn't care.
He is not a particular person to begin with.
If he has the right temper, he can be friends with a beggar. If he doesn't have the right temper, you are just a nobleman in a suit and leather shoes, and he doesn't even bother to associate with you.
When the store owner heard this, his frown deepened.
He originally wanted Yang Jun to retreat, but he didn't expect that Yang Jun didn't care at all.
"Hey, I see you are a decent person, why are you hanging out with a beggar?"
The shop owner shook his head and motioned to the waiter to move the table to the side of the road for Yang Jun.
Then, he went back to the store.
Yang Jun didn't care and followed the guy to help move the tables and stools.
It was placed in a shady place on the roadside. After Yang Jun sat down, the waiter handed him the menu.
Yang Jun didn't even look at it and said directly: "Specialize one copy."
Then he took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it directly to the guy.
The guy was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yang Jun with doubtful eyes.
Judging from Yang Jun's clothes, he should be a person of high status. It seemed that he was not the owner of money. What he couldn't understand was how such a person could sit and eat with beggars.

If people spend money to eat, what else can he say?
"Okay, you two wait a moment."
After saying that, he went back to the store.
After a while, the boy brought a box of beer, gave him two more glasses, dropped the screwdriver and went back.
After the guy left, Li Huaide smiled bitterly and said, "Old Yang, you haven't changed after all these years."
"I remember back then, you liked to squat on the roadside with the workers to eat. You seemed to enjoy this feeling."
Yang Jun heard this and said while opening a beer.
"Hey, life is only a few decades long, what do you care about?"
He filled a cup for Li Huaide and then said: "Whatever makes you feel better."
Li Huaide raised his hand and showed humility, then smiled bitterly and said, "Your life has not been in vain. I can't live up to your chicness."
"Why do you envy me?"
Yang Jun chuckled: "You, Li Huaide, are Li Huaide, and I, Yang Jun, am Yang Jun. Why do you want to live like someone else?"
This is Yang Jun, a free and uninhibited person.
The more Yang Jun said this, the more envious Li Huaide became.
"I can't help but be envious. We used to stir up the same pot. Look at you, then look at me, hey..."
Li Huaide took off his smelly gray coat and threw it aside, revealing his skinny body.
When Yang Jun saw his body, he was stunned for a moment.
If you didn't know better, you would have thought it was the body of an octogenarian.
There are only bones left in the whole body, as if a gust of wind could blow it over.
When Yang Jun saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Over the years, Li Huaide has endured many hardships.
Thinking about how he has ever suffered like that, he is also a proud and arrogant person, and sometimes he doesn't let go just because he says he can.
"When did it come out?"
Yang Jun lowered his head to drink, not daring to look into his eyes.
"It's been more than half a month since I came out."
Li Huaide smiled bitterly and said: "After returning home, everything changed. My wife remarried, and my children no longer recognize me as their father."
"I have no choice but to expose the bridge hole. I go to the trash can to pick up leftovers during the day, and huddle under the bridge hole at night. Those mosquitoes... well, I won't mention it."
Li Huaide rubbed his red eye circles and his nose twitched.
"If I remember correctly, you are less than fifty this year, right?"
"Forty-nine."
Yang Jun nodded and said: "You're not too old yet, it's the golden age of a man."
"Have you ever thought about making a comeback?"
Li Huaide chuckled: "Old Yang, don't look at the joke. With my appearance, I can't stand the fall of Xishan Mountain."
Li Huaide now has a crippled leg, is dragging his body with illness, has lost his home, his wife and children don't recognize him, and his previous connections have long been gone. It is not easy to make a comeback.
"I can help you."
After saying that, Yang Jun looked at him with a smile.
Li Huaide was stunned when he heard this.
Then, he shook his head.
"Lao Yang, I've fallen to this point, why bother making fun of me anymore?"
"In the past, we were mortal enemies. It was impossible, impossible."
Li Huaide shook his head.
He felt that Yang Jun must be really making fun of him and playing with him.
"It would be so lonely if there was no opponent in life." Yang Jun said quietly.
Li Huaide chuckled: "Old Yang, we have to make something clear. I lost to your father-in-law back then, not to you."
Yang Jun smiled and said: "What's the difference?"
Li Huaide was stunned and said nothing.
There's really no difference.
If you lose, you lose. It doesn't matter who you lose to.
"Lao Yang, are you really willing to help me?" Li Huaide's hand holding the wine glass kept shaking due to excitement.
"Yes, but..."
Speaking of this, Yang Jun paused for a moment, and then said quietly: "You must give me a kowtow."
After speaking, Yang Jun looked at him coldly.
Li Huaide was stunned for a moment, the muscles on his face kept shaking, and his lips turned white from exertion.
His eyes kept changing, and the sweat on his forehead rolled down his cheeks.
After a long while, I suddenly felt discouraged.
The whole person became old, hunched over, and shook his head.
"Lao Yang, I can't kowtow to this."
When he looked up again, there were already a few tears in the corners of Li Huaide's eyes.
"I, Li Huaide, only have this pride left in my life, and I don't want to lose it."
After saying that, tears fell like raindrops.
When Yang Jun heard this, instead of being angry, he smiled happily.
If Li Huaide had really kowtowed to him just now, then he should be worried.
If Li Huaide really kowtows to him, it means that this person is very sophisticated and very forbearing. The reason why he chose to lie dormant temporarily is to avenge this humiliation.
But now, he refuses to kneel down or bow down for five buckets of rice, which only shows that he has no desire for revenge.
You know, if it weren't for Yang Jun back then, he wouldn't have gone in, and he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state in his later years.
"Old Li, you are indeed the same Li Huaide I knew back then."
"You can't stand up to death, but you have shown your strength in life."
"Old Yang..."
Li Huaide looked at Yang Jun in shock.
"Yes, you guessed it right, I was testing you just now."
Yang Jun drank a glass of wine, put down the glass, and said solemnly: "If you had knelt down for me just now, I would have left immediately. This wealth will never have anything to do with you in this life."
"Ha...ha..."
When Li Huaide heard this, he didn't know whether it was because of excitement or joy after accepting the test. His nose and tears flowed down.
"Old Yang..."
Li Huaide covered his face with one hand and kept wiping away tears.
"The grievances between us have been settled in one fell swoop. From today on, I will sincerely make you my friend."
"Okay, let's have a drink and let go of the grudges with a smile. The past grudges will be cleared up with one stroke." Yang Jun raised his glass.
"Done."
Li Huaide drank it all without saying a word.
At this time, the dishes they ordered came out one after another.
Because Yang Jun was speculating for a book, the table could not be placed, so the shop owner brought in another table to join them together.
Yang Jun and Li Huaide drank one cup after another, drinking happily.
This was the first time he had a hearty drink with his opponent, and all the previous grudges were buried in the drink.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking back on all the past, it feels particularly childish now.
In the past, the two of them were intrigues, cliques, and wanted to put each other to death. But many years later, the two of them drank happily like old friends.
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your opponent.
Li Huaide didn't expect that the person who could help him in the end was his opponent. Thinking about his so-called friends in the past, hehe, they were worse than bullshit.
"Lao Li, do you want to continue to be an official or do you want to do business?"
Yang Jun patted his chest and said, "No matter what you choose, I will support you."
Li Huaide brushed the messy hair on his forehead with his hand, grinned and said,
"Of course I am an official."
"Both you and I have been in the officialdom. Of course we know that with power comes money."
"Haha, Lao Li, you really haven't changed at all."
Yang Jun smiled and said: "Okay, no problem, leave it to me, and I will make arrangements for you later."
"but……"
Li Huaide's face suddenly darkened, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Old Yang, it's better to forget about being an official."
"I have a criminal record, so I can't cause you any trouble. No matter how well I do, what kind of success can I do at my age?"
"Well, I still choose to do business."
"OK, no problem."
Yang Jun agreed without thinking.
He also knew that it would be inappropriate for Li Huaide to be an official at his age. Not to mention his age, it would be difficult for him with a criminal record. Yang Jun could promote him by issuing orders, but he couldn't control them.
The mouth of Youyou.
Fortunately, Li Huaide chose to do business in the end.
Yang Jun is good at this, and what he lacks most is money.
For a meal, I didn’t explain it until sunset.
Before leaving, Yang Jun took out a wad of money and handed it to him.
"Don't sleep under the bridge tonight. Look at the two ounces of flesh on your body. If you get bitten by mosquitoes, you won't look like a human being."
Li Huaide's nose twitched and he took the money with a wry smile.
"Thank you, Lao Yang. When I become famous, I'll ask you to take a sauna."
