Chapter 119 Yi Liu The Lost Alliance

The third uncle Yan Bugui looked so glorious. He was like a big boss, sitting there drinking tea and cracking melon seeds, hosting the group party for everyone.

"The Golden Rat bids farewell to the old year with joy, and welcomes the new year with prosperity and auspiciousness. Recalling the past, we saw the glorious years; looking at the present, we are full of vigor and vitality; looking at the future, we have a bright future. Let us be full of hope, work together, and persevere to build..."

"With the ringing of the New Year's bell in 1960, we ushered in a new decade of building a socialist country in an all-round way. Our great people and great party are riding the wind and waves, forging ahead bravely, and striving to complete the socialist country..."

The third uncle's words are all mixed up.

Liu Haizhong wished he could take its place. His eyes were as envious as a rabbit's, so red and particularly scary.

Yi Zhonghai was also silent, staring at Yan Bugui with no joy or sadness, but thinking in his heart: "Old Yan, Old Yan, don't be so proud. This compound is not your turn yet, the future head of the family. Humph! Let's wait and see."

Yan Bugui paused for a moment, said a few words, then looked at Liu Zhiye and said politely: "Director Liu! You are a leading cadre, can you say a few words to us?"

Liu Zhiye smiled and waved his hands to show his refusal. But he still stood up, bowed deeply to everyone, and said sincerely: "On behalf of me and my wife, I wish you all a happy new year and send you our most sincere blessings!"

"I wish you all a happy new year, happiness to your family, good luck and may all your wishes come true!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng, as the leader, immediately shouted, "Good!" and then led the applause.

The second henchman, Sha Zhu, followed closely behind.

Xu Damao, the third reserve, was a step late and thought to himself, "Next time, next time, I will definitely be the first."

"Okay!" "Okay!" "Okay!"

"Good! This word is good, easy to understand, and much better than what the Third Master said."

"That's a very good point! As expected of a leader, what you said is very professional."

"What's the fuss? Do you usually have the opportunity to sit with such a senior leader?"

Yi Zhonghai listened to these people's words, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He glanced at their flattering faces and felt that they were extremely piercing, like the strings of a guitar being cut by a bayonet.

If this had happened two years ago, it should have been a moment for him to enjoy glory, but now it has become glory in the eyes of others.

He silently lamented the ruthless passage of time and the ever-changing world.

Life is really impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine.

Liu Haizhong secretly glanced at Yi Zhonghai, the man he once regarded as his strongest opponent. He sensed the same deep loss in the other's eyes.

His eyes rolled around a few times, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, and a new plan quietly emerged.

He tiptoed to Yi Zhonghai and sat down silently.

Then, he patted Yi Zhonghai's shoulder gently, and this pat was like a thunderclap, waking Yi Zhonghai from his deep thought.

He glanced around and said in a low voice: "Old Yi, shall we talk?"

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked at the deep eyes in Liu Hai's eyes, and his heart moved. It seems that this person is also unwilling to give up.

So he nodded and responded softly: "Let's talk."

The two of them came quietly to the corridor in the yard. There was no one around, which was very suitable for a secret conversation.

"Old Yi, we really can't go on like this. Looking at the situation in this yard, as a highly respected person, we need to step out and take charge of the situation." Liu Haizhong could no longer contain his inner thoughts and eagerly expressed his views.

"Look at how Old Yan became the head of this compound?" he continued. "He is completely shameless and has no dignity at all. In order to curry favor with Liu Zhiye, he has almost become someone's lackey."

"Liu is not a good person. This reminds me of how he treated people like us before. He had no respect at all. This makes me very sad."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh and said in a pretended helpless tone, "So what can I do?"

"We are not the boss anymore, our words don't count."

"I think! Let's just forget it! It's better to be quiet and not worry about it!"

Liu Haizhong felt a little annoyed when he heard that. It's already this time and you're still pretending in front of me.

"Old Yi! What you said is wrong. How can you be so negative? We must be brave enough to fight against such bad practices!"

"Now we have only one manager in our compound, which is not acceptable. Doesn't this mean he has the final say?" "This is not in line with the principle of democratic centralism! Do you think we should propose to elect another manager for the compound?"

Yi Zhonghai instantly looked at the man with bangs with new eyes. Why didn't he notice it before? There were such lines in the man's bangs, and the little mouth was really white.

"Can this be accomplished?"

"We can do it! If we brothers work together, we can accomplish anything..." At this moment, all the brothers called out.

……

This year, the number of people returning home has grown again, and they can only leave their mother Deng Ru at home.

However, Deng Ru was worried about her daughter-in-law Gan Ning and her old maid, so she wrapped them in layer upon layer of coats.

"Zhi Ye! Drive slowly on the road..."

"Mom! Don't worry, I can drive the car safely to Grandpa's house even if I close my eyes."

After getting off the main road, the family members were once again "killed" on this rugged mountain road.

Gan Ning already had a severe reaction to the Renchen syndrome, and he could no longer hold on after the bumpy mountain road.

So Liu Zhiye could only stop the car on the side of the road and choose to rest for a while.

A few days ago, the snow fell, but due to the recent cold weather, there was no sign of melting at all.

After getting off the bus, everyone looked at the rolling white mountains, which was really refreshing.

The mountains after the snow are like a static painting, pure and quiet. The air is cool and fresh, with a faint scent of pine.

The winding road was covered with thick snow, like a white ribbon, decorating the mountains and rivers in a poetic and picturesque way.

The forest after the snow is covered in silver, which is particularly charming. The branches are covered with crystal frost, like fairies wearing colorful clothes.

The air is filled with freshness and tranquility, as if it is nature's gift to those who work hard in winter.

"Xiao Ning! Are you feeling better?" Liu Zhiye asked with concern.

"Much better. The scenery here is so beautiful, and the air is very good and fresh, unlike the smell of coal smoke in the city."

At this time, the younger sister suddenly shouted: "Brother, look, there is a pheasant, it's so beautiful..."

Liu Zhiye immediately pulled out a pistol from his waist upon hearing this. These were all pieces of meat, and he couldn't miss them.

"where is it?"

Just now he neglected to observe the environment as he was only concerned about Gan Ning. Now he looked in the direction of his little sister's gesture.

Wow! This is not just one, this could be a nest. His eyesight was surprisingly good, he could see clearly that in the bushes a hundred meters away, he could vaguely see a few of them happily digging for food. They were lively and lovely, full of vitality, like the most beautiful scenery in nature.

"Xiao Ning! Wait here for a while, I will be back soon. If you feel scared, please cover your ears..." After Liu Zhiye gave them a few instructions, he left in a hurry.

He moved forward cautiously and stealthily, as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the surroundings. He tried to get as close to the pheasants as possible, putting them within the range of his pistol. He counted them and found that there were seven of them, big and small.

With his excellent marksmanship, he was confident that he could capture all the prey.

Another reason is the cold weather, which greatly reduces the activity of pheasants and improves the efficiency of hunting.

During the winter, pheasants become easier to hunt due to lack of food and cold weather.

Food is relatively scarce in winter, so pheasants have a larger range of activities. The scientific name of pheasant is Phasianus colchicus, and they mostly live in farmland, edges of fields, and bushes and grasses on both sides of roads. They have strong legs and are good at running and hiding.

Liu Zhiye gently opened the safety, pushed and pulled the slide to load the gun, and aimed at a large pheasant.

When his breathing became steady, he gently pulled the trigger. Instantly, with a "bang", the pheasant fell to the ground, and bright red blood splattered everywhere, against the background of blue sky and white clouds, like a beautiful painting.

Following a series of rapid gunshots, his magazine was emptied. He quickly replaced the ammunition, loaded the gun, and looked in front of him. Except for a few pheasants that had been killed, there was nothing else.
