"Blue and White, what's wrong with you here? Go back!"

"I won't!" Blue and white looked at Ma Hongji angrily and said, "Why do they apologize to everyone? Isn't my share?"

"They apologized sincerely for the incident back then. You moved here only last year. What's wrong with you? Why should others apologize to you?"

"Hahaha……"

Ma Hongxin took the lead in laughing, which made everyone burst into laughter.

"Hmph! Lao Ma, you wait."

Blue and white face turned red, Ma Hongji turned white, and stomped his feet and turned around and left.

With Li Jing's eyes, he could see clearly at first glance: This woman named Blue and White must have something to do with Ma Hongji... Afterwards, he asked Ma Hongxin and found out that the blue and white are redeemed by Ma Hongji from the kiln. Somehow, Mr. Zhang disagreed and could not enter the Ma Mansion's door, so he had to be Ma Hongji's outer room. Even the three-year-old child in the village knew about this, just outsiders like Li Jing didn't know... Otherwise, if someone else would have dared to be so big or young as the clan leader, someone would have come forward to teach her a lesson.

"Old Li, you must have not eaten yet, are you? Let's go! I'll invite my brothers to have breakfast."

“We’ve eaten.”

Li Jing saw Ma Hongji's eyes and understood that Ma Hongji had something to say to him privately. He was about to respond, but he never thought that Ma Hongxin was indeed a straight temper and spoke first. Li Jing was so angry that he glared at him fiercely and said, "That's you, we haven't had breakfast yet."

Then he smiled at Ma Hongji and said, "Old Ma, don't you say that, I don't feel hungry if you don't raise breakfast. When I mentioned it, my stomach immediately roared and I just happened to taste the food in the village."

The two of them took the lead and talked and laughed, but Ma Hongxin muttered: "I've really eaten it! I looked at the bowls and chopsticks you put down... Damn, I really didn't have breakfast. Brother, wait for me."

Ma Hongxin thought that Li Jing and Ma Hongji must have to talk about some secrets, so he was ready to eavesdrop—always walking two or three meters behind the two. Unexpectedly, the two of them were just talking about: How did they sleep last night? There is no secret to talk about polite words like trouble.

After listening for a while, Ma Hongxin couldn't hold it in: You guys just talk about these useless things, and I'm just wasting my time. I still have a lot of anger and I have nowhere to vent my anger.

Thinking of this, Ma Hongxin took two steps quickly, caught up with the two of them, and directly interrupted and asked, "Brother, you lied to me again."

Of course, Ma Hongji knew exactly what this so-called "deception" was going on: he had already made plans and wanted to send a batch of grain to Li Jing and the others, with a quantity of 5,000 kilograms, which was also what he had agreed to during a secret talk with Li Jing.

There is also a purpose to force Ma Hongxin to get drunk: Yesterday, Ma Hongji's first reaction was to be prepared to kill him in secret. After all, Ma Hongxin was his own cousin and could not kill anyone to silence him. Therefore, he simply sent the old housekeeper to come forward and half-push him half-forcedly to get drunk. It can be regarded as taking care of his relatives and leaving a way out for himself, so as not to be called a ruthless person by the villagers, and not even letting his relatives go - this was very important in the atmosphere at that time and was also a necessary means to unite the tribe. Otherwise, in today's words, "if the people's hearts are dispersed, the team will be difficult to lead."

But after thinking about it, Ma Hongji felt that it was better not to violate the river water. After all, Majiapo Village is under the jurisdiction of Sanqiao County, and the current controller of Sanqiao County is the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment. If the battalion commander of the fifth battalion and his soldiers were killed and injured, the assault Regiment would never let him go afterwards.

So, after Mr. Zhang persuaded him, Ma Hongji knew how to choose.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. Since I decided to kill the death of the enemy, I got Ma Hongxin drunk. Now I am friends with Li Jing and others. Who can get it first? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

So, when I saw Ma Hongxin angrily pursuing it, Ma Hongji immediately threw the blame to the old housekeeper, and then, in a little guilt, it was normal to give some compensation.

What's more, this compensation is originally favorable without any expense. To put it bluntly, it is a batch of grain in the name of two. Anyway, they are given to the same house, without any loss. It can also make up for Ma Hongxin's mistakes last night, so why not do it?

It’s just a little joke between brothers, which is not hurtful, and can also change your mood. Anyway, it’s idle.

"Why did you talk to me? How could I lie to you?"

"You clearly promised to give me five thousand kilograms of food in the morning, but you played the trick of marrying a woman and marrying her husband, mixing the food given to Captain Li and the food given to me. What else can you do if you don't lie to me?"

"This is not called bad preference?" Ma Hongji smiled and looked at Li Jing who was smiling helplessly, and said to Ma Hongxin: "Hongxin, I ask you, are you from the assault regiment?"

"Of course."

"Then are you planning to give the five thousand kilograms of grain to Captain Li and the others?"

"certainly!"

"Well?"

Ma Hongxin was stunned, then reacted and said anxiously: "But, you didn't calculate the account like this..."

How could Ma Hongji ask him to finish his words, interrupt him directly, and said, "Why isn't that what's the case? I ask you, did I promise to give you five thousand kilograms of grain?"

"yes!"

"And did Captain Li and the others get five thousand kilograms of food?"

"But……"

Ma Hongxin's words were obviously not as clever as Ma Hongji, and because of his impatientness, he was already confused by Ma Hongji. Li Jing didn't want to watch Ma Hongxin be anxious, and he didn't want to offend Ma Hongji because of this matter, so he naturally had to interrupt.

"Okay, okay, Hongxin, there is no need to care about these details. Comrades all know that you got these five thousand kilograms of grain, and everyone is very grateful to you. Why do you have to pursue this little thing again... Forget it, forget it, let's go, take me to eat the food in the village, and let me feel how rich the breakfast at Lao Ma's house is."

Then, he whispered in Ma Hongxin's ear: "Big, you can call more people when you go back. Wouldn't it be enough to eat the interest of the 5,000 kilograms of grain back?"

After saying that, he blinked at Ma Hongxin who was stunned to see him.

Ma Hongxin immediately shouted "Okay!" and then ran out, forgetting that he was hungry. From this, it can be seen that Ma Hongxin is not only straightforward, but also has a bad temper and does it as soon as he says.

Looking at Ma Hongxin's back, Li Jing smiled bitterly at Ma Hongji helplessly and said, "Comrade Ma Hongxin's temper is really hot!"

"It's all that I haven't educated him well since I was a child." Ma Hongji nodded a little embarrassedly, but muttered in his heart: Is it because Hongxin beat him less after he was a child? Or is it because he didn't use his strength properly?

Then, the two began to chat while walking: Li Jing did not ask, and Ma Hongji did not speak on his own initiative, as if they had forgotten the look that Ma Hongji had given Li Jing before. It can be seen that these two people are not only deeply cunning, but also have a rich experience in talking to others.

When he arrived at the east entrance of the village, Li Jing felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the two-story wooden restaurant, and also sighed: After attacking Majiapo Village for the third time, the restaurant was the temporary command center of the bandit alliance, but it was forced to withdraw urgently after only taking over for less than two hours. Now, he has not only changed his mind, but has also been invited to this restaurant for breakfast... After savoring it carefully, Li Jing only has one sentence in his heart to describe: the past is unbearable to look back on!

However, Li Jing was a little surprised when he saw the restaurant sign of the 'Golden Dragon Hotel'.

He remembered very clearly that the restaurant's former brand was "Ma Family Restaurant", and it was a time-honored brand that has been passed down for nearly two hundred years. However, how can it become another brand now? This means that the owner of the restaurant has been replaced.

After carefully looking at the inscription on the signboard, it was written by Ma Hongji, which made Li Jing even more confused: This restaurant that has been passed down for nearly two hundred years can be said to be the ancestral belonging to your Ma Hongji, and you are not a person who is short of money, and it is even more impossible to sell this famous sign to others as a local signboard. Then, most of the time, it is because of the powerful and noble figure who likes this restaurant, forcing you to transfer it, and even writes inscriptions to others in a frustrating manner.

However, thinking about it again, Ma Hongji is definitely not a rude person. Even if the powerful and powerful figures were forced to compromise at that time, the Japanese first occupied this place, and now the assault team controlled this area. That is to say, the powerful figures at that time would either die or escape at this time, and would never pose a substantial threat to you again, at least temporarily impossible. Then, with your Ma Hongji's mind and means, you would be a knife that was inserted into the heart, a loud humiliation like a slap, and even a shame for the entire Ma family in Majiapo Village. You can still bear it and didn't take the opportunity to take back this restaurant. This is really rare!

The curiosity in his heart made Li Jing unable to help but stop. Looking at the restaurant's signboard, he asked implicitly: "Old Li, you are so beautiful."

I don’t know if Li Jing was deliberately pretending to be stupid or didn’t understand, but he smiled faintly and said, “The current owner of this restaurant is not only my life and death brother, but also my life-savior. How dare you not be careful when you write an inscription for him!”

Just so happened that, a middle-aged man with a little lame right foot walked out of the restaurant, stood at the door and smiled at Ma Hongji, "Brother, you haven't been here for a few days... Just so happened that I received a deer yesterday. I was thinking of asking you to come here for a few drinks tonight, but I didn't expect you to come."

Ma Hongji smiled and nodded, then said to Li Jing: "This is my brother Jin San. Now, this restaurant is his."

In response to this, Jin San quickly laughed and said, "Brother, you joked about me again. This restaurant is just because you asked me to help you watch, but I dare not say it is mine."

"Third brother, please tell me these things. You don't want to give the contract to you for a few times. You have to be so polite to me. Is it interesting?"
