The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 121 Liu Jianguo Returns to the Village IV
In my impression, Li Fumin is strong and strong, with a burly figure, black hair, and a straight back in everything he does.

But the back of the person fetching water just now really looks like Grandpa.

Time is really unforgiving.

Really old in a blink of an eye.

"dad……"

Liu Jianguo shouted two words tremblingly.

Li Fumin looked at him steadfastly, without any reaction.

Liu Jianguo shouted again: "Dad...Dad..."

The bucket in Li Fumin's hand fell to the ground... his body was shaking.

Liu Jianguo threw away his luggage and ran over to help him.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"Jianguo, you're here..."

"coming…"

"Come on, hurry up, go sit at home."

He took Liu Jianguo's hand and pulled him into the house.

Liu Jianguo obediently followed him into the main room.

Li Fumin: "Old lady, here is a distinguished guest, hurry up and boil the water..."

Uncle guest is of course a distinguished guest.

Aunt Li in the yard picked up Liu Jianguo's luggage and quietly wiped away tears of joy.

Been waiting for this moment for almost 20 years.

Take your luggage into the house and put it away,

He loudly agreed, "If you want, sit down first, and the boiling water will be ready immediately."

Liu Jianguo stood up: "Mom, don't bother me."

Aunt Li: "No trouble, no trouble, using electricity, convenient and fast."

Li Fumin: "Jianguo, come, let's talk, let your mother boil the water."

Liu Jianguo had no choice but to sit down again.

Liu Jianguo: "Dad, are you and Mom okay?"

Li Fumin: "Fortunately, it's tough, don't worry."

"Okay, that's fine."

Li Fumin: "I heard that you are here to help the poor in Qingfeng Village?"

Liu Jianguo: "Yes. I also want to visit you. I heard from Zhu Xia that you are back, so I applied to come to Qingfeng Village."

"Jianguo, you have a heart."

Li Fumin patted Liu Jianguo's hand.

Liu Jianguo: "Dad, I actually wanted to see you a long time ago, but..."

"I understand. I understand. We are sorry for you, Jianguo."

"Dad, don't say that, none of us is sorry for anyone...don't mention the past."

"Okay, don't mention it."

Liu Jianguo changed the subject: "How is Li Qiang?"

"It's pretty good, I've made a name for myself when I go out, my family is safe there, and my grandson is in school... Hehe..."

Speaking of grandson Li Fumin, I couldn't help laughing.

"If you could see him a few days earlier, but you can't do without him there, you'll go back."

He lowered his voice again and said, "A lake has been hired to raise fish over there, and several workers have been hired, and they are very busy..."

"That's not bad, it must have been posted long ago!"

"No worries about food and clothing, it's just that you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Hehe... Don't be disappointed, I will let them come back for the Spring Festival, and then you two will have a good talk."

Liu Jianguo: "Okay."

"Come on, here comes the boiling water."

Aunt Li came in with a large bowl of poached eggs in sugar water.

"Come, Jianguo, drink some boiled water."

Liu Jianguo: "Mom, why are there still six..."

Aunt Li: "Liu Liushun..."

Liu Jianguo: "Dad also eat some, we all go along..."

Can't help but go to the kitchen to get a bowl and share half with Li Fumin.

"Dad, you eat too."

Li Fumin: "Okay."

Aunt Li: "Put your stomachs first, there is still a while before lunch, I will go and prepare first, and when Liu Li comes back, we will have dinner together.

After the two finished eating the sugar-watered eggs, Liu Jianguo put away the bowl.

Li Fumin: "Let it go, let it go, and wait for your mother to clean it up."

Liu Jianguo: "It's okay, I also do these things at home, I can cook and wash dishes."

Li Fumin...

How do you live without a woman in charge?Everything has to be done by yourself.

Liu Jianguo carried the bowl into the kitchen.

"Mom, do you want me to help light the fire?"

"No, it's very convenient to use rice cooker and induction cooker now. Look at these kitchen appliances, they are all bought by this kid Liu Li. You said how careful this kid is, and he can make them at a young age. Housework, otherwise how would I know about this... My poor grandson, a child without a mother will be in charge of the house long ago..."

"Mom, stop talking..."

Li Fumin: "Old woman, what are you talking about...Liu Li is a sensible child, but he has never suffered from hardships. His family and Jianguo take good care of him, what a sturdy young man you see..."

"Yes, yes... let's not talk about it, I'll go to the vegetable garden of Deshun's house to pick up garlic sprouts..."

"Old sister-in-law, it's not enough to have garlic sprouts without meat. Did I come in time..."

Uncle Zhu came in with two pig's trotters and a piece of pork belly in one hand, and a bottle of wine in the other.

Aunt Li: "Oh, I forgot about it."

She asked Wang Xiaochun to help with the pig's trotters and pork belly she bought from the market, and she forgot when she got busy.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to make a living, are you welcome?"

Aunt Li took the pig's trotters and pork belly, "Welcome, welcome... accompany Jianguo and two cups at noon. The pig's trotter soup is too late, there is still some twice-cooked pork."

Uncle Zhu: "OK."

Liu Jianguo: "Second Uncle Zhu, hurry up and sit in the room..."

"Hehe, don't call me, I know you better than you here. Let's go, let's make a good arrangement."

The three sat in the main room and started chatting.

Uncle Zhu talked about what the village is doing and what it will do...

Liu Jianguo kept nodding.

Said: "Secretary Xiao's thinking is correct, adapt measures to local conditions, and make rational use of local resources...It is not a dream for Qingfeng Village to get rid of poverty."

Uncle Zhu: "I don't understand these principles either. Anyway, if you all say yes, then I'll follow along. I've given up my old bones... Now Jianguo has come to work in our village. It's more solid."

Li Fumin took a puff of cigarette and said: "You, don't pretend, when did you feel uneasy, with your family Zhu Xia here, you have already had a reassurance in your heart, you Zhu's second son, I don't know A person who has crossed the river by feeling the stones all his life, suddenly dared to jump out and take over the job of raising fish, it was not your Zhu Xia who did ideological work with you and gave you a guarantee, I will take your surname."

"Ah, Mr. Li, you still know me well, and you have seen through me a long time ago... It is indeed the eldest daughter who cheered me up, but you don't want to see everyone, I want to fight myself.

In the past, it was you who were progressive or activists, so if you don’t like it, I will also be advanced for a while.Cousin Li, you didn't beat me this time, did you?Hahaha……

But then again, if you hadn't refused to take the lead, I wouldn't have had a chance.Do you feel a little regretful now?Haha, sorry, it's late.I will be the leader of the farming cooperation team. "

Li Fumin: "Who regrets it, Zhu Er Er, I just remind you that it's too early to be proud, and the truth is the last laugh."

"Old Cousin Li, I will definitely have the last laugh. My family Zhu Xia said that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as this step is taken, good days will come later... Look, the superior leader sent us again , are all technical backbones, and I feel more relaxed in my heart. With their guidance, I don’t have to worry about raising fish.”

Liu Jianguo didn't interrupt, it was also a pleasure to watch the two old men bickering.
