When Xu Yishan sent Sun Wu to Hongshan Town, it was dusk.

After the last snow, the weather became extremely sunny.

The bright sunshine for several consecutive days makes people feel as if summer has entered early.

Hongshan Town is not prohibited from setting off fireworks and firecrackers. Fireworks bloomed over the town in a festive atmosphere.

Sun Wu was so excited to return home that when he got out of the car, he didn't even bother to take his luggage and ran home in a crawl.

Xu Yishan was not in a hurry to follow him. He sat alone in the car, watching people coming and going on the street, feeling as calm as water.

He was very familiar with this scene. At this time of the New Year's Eve every year, people had already had the New Year's Eve dinner. Maoshan is a typical small place in the south, and the New Year's rules are very different from those in the north.

For example, the New Year's Eve dinner in the north must be eaten in the evening. In Maoshan, the New Year's Eve dinner is usually eaten at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

During the Chinese New Year in the north, dumplings are the main dish. In Maoshan, no matter how poor the family is, fish, meat and chicken cannot be left out on the dinner table on this day. And regardless of adults or children, this meal must be eaten, even if it is just a small bite.

After all, Maoshan people call this meal "Geng rice".

It means that after this period, a new beginning is ushered in.

There were more and more children on the street. They were wearing new clothes, holding firecrackers in their hands, chasing and laughing. The happy mood affected Xu Yishan who was sitting in the car, and he couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a figure.

Judging from the rear view, this man is undoubtedly the young cobbler Wang Meng.

He held the child in his hand and looked up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky, motionless.

Xu Yishan's heart moved, when did he come out?

Wang Meng was sentenced to six months' detention by the court for domestic violence, and his sentence expired two years ago.

He didn't want to alarm him, he just looked at the father and son from a distance.

After the cobbler was imprisoned, Ali filed for divorce, but Wang Meng rejected it. Ali sued the court, but the court considered the marriage to be in a trial period and did not rule for divorce.

Now that he is back, is Ali back?

Just when Xu Yishan closed his eyes and meditated, a burst of noise came over.

Xu Yishan opened his eyes and saw that Wang Meng had been stepped on the ground by two people.

People watching the excitement immediately blocked the road. Xu Yishan didn't want to get out of the car, but he thought about how noisy it would be during the Chinese New Year, so he got out of the car and squeezed into the crowd.

It turned out that when a child was playing with a sky cannon, he hit Wang Meng's child with the sky cannon.

After the cannon exploded, a small piece of Wang Meng's child's clothes was scorched.

Wang Meng was so angry that he caught the child and slapped him in the face.

The slap was not good, so the child went home crying and called an adult. Without saying a word, he knocked Wang Meng to the ground and put a foot on his head.

When Xu Yishan squeezed in, he saw his parents beating and scolding Wang Meng, "You reform-through-labor prisoner, you are so arrogant. If you dare to beat my son, I will beat you and make you scream."

Wang Meng, who was lying on the ground, closed his eyes tightly and remained silent.

No one who was watching the excitement stood up and spoke. They all seemed to be expecting things to escalate and there would be greater excitement.

Wang Meng's child squatted beside him, crying hoarsely.

Xu Yishan went over, patted the person who slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, forget it, it's all a misunderstanding for the Chinese New Year."

The parent glanced at him, obviously not recognizing him, and said angrily: "Whose crotch is torn, exposing you? You want to be a good person, fine, come on, I'll slap you, and the matter will be settled."

Xu Yishan felt angry when he heard that. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and said with a smile: "If you can calm down with a slap, just hit me."

The man was stunned for a moment and muttered: "Who are you? Why don't you join in the fun if you have nothing to do."

Xu Yishan smiled lightly and said, "I saw you were beaten and scolded just now, what else do you want? You have to be merciful and merciful."

The man snorted and said: "My son was beaten by this damn cobbler when he was a new year old. Within three years, if my son makes any mistakes, the little cobbler will have to bear the responsibility."

Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Those are all superstitious statements and cannot be taken seriously."

Before he finished speaking, the little cobbler Wang Meng took over and said: "Xu Yishan, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me."

Hearing Wang Meng call out Xu Yishan's name, the onlookers seemed to remember that there used to be a deputy mayor in Hongshan Town named Xu Yishan. They looked at him and started talking in low voices.

Hearing this, the man smiled happily and said, "You heard it, he said you don't have to worry about it, so stop pretending to be a good person."

Xu Yishan said: "I really have control over this matter. If you move your feet immediately, you should apologize."

The man was startled and said: "What did you say? You want me to apologize? You don't have a fever, right? You Xu Yishan is not a cadre of our Hongshan Town now, can you control me?"

Xu Yishan said sternly: "The road is uneven and there are people stepping on it. Brother, you are already out of line."

"Oh, it seems you still want to be a knight!" The man laughed wildly, looked at him contemptuously and said: "Xu Yishan, don't think that we don't know that you are not a good person either. Otherwise, what about your deputy mayor?

Will it be withdrawn?”

The onlookers all laughed. For a cadre who could not directly control them, their unscrupulousness was clearly demonstrated.

Xu Yishan didn't say anything. He bent down to pick up Wang Meng's child, pushed away the man's foot on Wang Meng's head, and pulled Wang Meng up.

Wang Meng's face turned red from suppressing his emotions, his eyes were moist, and there seemed to be some tears.

He was originally a disadvantaged person in Hongshan Town. He was born with a disability and was bullied by his neighbors since he was a child.

Wang Meng later married Ali, and he did earn some face. But he was soon bullied even more severely. In the eyes of the neighbors, how could he, a disabled person, marry such a beautiful girl like Ali?

Xu Yishan handed the child into Wang Meng's arms and whispered: "Go back."

Wang Meng didn't appreciate it. He glared at him and said, "Xu Yishan, don't do this. Whether I come back or not is none of your business."

The onlookers burst into laughter again.

Xu Yishan ignored it and turned around to get back to the car.

The man grabbed Xu Yishan and said, "Why, you just left like this?"

Xu Yishan frowned and said, "What else do you want?"

The man said solemnly: "Since you stand up for the dwarf, you must be responsible to the end. I still say what I said, if my child has any problems within three years, you must be responsible."

Xu Yishan couldn't bear it any longer. He gently pushed the man's hand away and said, "If you still want to spend a peaceful New Year at home, you will disappear in front of me immediately."

The man sneered: "What if I don't disappear?"

Xu Yishan snorted, "Believe it or not, I will let you into the cell within three minutes."

Xu Yishan really wasn't trying to scare him, he said while dialing Meng Liang's number directly.

Seeing that he was serious about it, the man said dejectedly, "Xu Yishan, we'll see."

There was no excitement to be seen, and the onlookers dispersed in a hurry.

Xu Yishan turned around and saw Sun Wu and Sister-in-law Chunhua standing beside the car.

Sun Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, you still haven't changed. With your character, you will suffer a loss sooner or later."

Xu Yishan said with a smile: "Suffering a loss is a blessing, don't you know this saying?"

Sun Wu invited Xu Yishan to his home, but Xu Yishan politely declined.

He took Sun Wu's luggage out of the car, got into the car, and drove away.
