Bottom line

Zhao Yongli looked at Zhao Xiaohu, the grandson who was accompanying the big yellow dog Huahua, and said to Liu Jun worriedly: "Ah Jun, you also know that this mountain valley is poor, and it is difficult to go to school nearby. Little Huzi is eight years old. I have never studied, how can I live without a culture in this society? With your company supporting the village to run industries and the good policies of the party, I believe the villagers will become rich. I have lived my whole life at my age, and I don’t have many years Now, the only thing I'm worried about is my grandson, Little Huzi."

"Old Man, Little Huzi is very smart. He is only eight years old and can lift a big wild boar weighing hundreds of catties. It's amazing." Liu Jun also looked back at Zhao Xiaohu. Little Huzi was stroking the big yellow dog with Mengting. Big Yellow Dog and Meng Ting also play very close.

Zhao Yongli sat down first, pressed it with his hand, motioned Liu Jun and the mute to sit down, sighed and said: "Little tiger is born with supernatural power, and it is true that people are smart, but good jade has to be carved. What about the finished product?"

Liu Jun understood Zhao Yongli's meaning. Village Chief Zhao wanted to entrust his grandson Zhao Xiaohu to him, but he was too embarrassed to speak, but Liu Jun spoke first: "Old man, do you want Xiao Huzi to accompany me down the mountain into the city tomorrow?" ?”

Zhao Yongli nodded, with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Huzi is strong and well-behaved, let him stay by your side, do whatever you want, carry bags, do odd jobs, let him see you in big cities since he was a child." Seeing the world, learning culture, is better than nesting in a ravine. I wonder if Ah Jun is willing?"

Liu Jun said frankly: "Old man, as long as Huzi is willing to go down the mountain, I have no opinion. I will definitely let Huzi study and receive the best education in the city. However, I have to say two points. One is to see if Huzi is willing I am willing to go out of the mountain, and the second is that you are over 70 years old, and it is better to have your grandson by your side to take care of you."

Zhao Yongli nodded, then shook his head again, with infinite vicissitudes: "Ah Jun, I am in good health, there is no major problem, and there is no problem with self-care. It is very common for people in the mountains to live over 91, so I don't need you to worry about it. As for the tiger Well, if he wants to go out of the mountain, he can get out of the mountain, and if he doesn't want to go out of the mountain, he can get out of the mountain. If he lives in a ravine all his life, he's wasting a good piece of wood."

"Huzi, come here." Zhao Yongli spoke forcefully. For the sake of his grandson's future and destiny, he made an important decision, which is to let Zhao Xiaohu accompany Liu Jun into the city. His idea has two meanings. One is that what Liu Jun can think of is Let Huzi go to the city to meet the world and receive cultural education; another meaning is beyond Liu Jun's imagination, that is, to "bet" his grandson by Liu Jun's side, so that Liu Jun can rest assured to invest in the establishment of Tujiashan Branch Company, and serve the villagers. benefit.

"Grandpa." Zhao Xiaohu has already played with Mengting very well, and walked over happily holding Mengting's hand. The big yellow dog ate a very rich bone meal for the first time, wagging its tail and followed Mengting for a long time. Docile, completely lost the ferocity of attacking the big wild boar in the dense forest on the top of the mountain.

Zhao Xiaohu came to Zhao Yongli's side, Zhao Yongli lovingly stroked Zhao Xiaohu's head, and asked softly: "Huzi, do you like Brother Jun, Brother Li and Sister Tingting?"

"Yes, I like it." Zhao Xiaohu nodded vigorously.

Zhao Yongli asked again: "Then do you like being with your brother and sister?"

"Yes, I like it." Zhao Xiaohu still nodded vigorously.

Zhao Yongli looked down at Liu Jun, showing joy, he patted Zhao Xiaohu's head, then patted Zhao Xiaohu's shoulder, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Huzi, you just said that you like to be with your brother and sister. Grandpa also made a decision just now, you must support grandpa."

Zhao Yongli blinked his big eyes, feeling that his grandfather spoke a little strangely today, and asked, "Grandpa, what decision?"

Zhao Yongli said: "Huzi, tomorrow you will go down the mountain with your brother and sister to go to school in the city. You must listen to your brother and sister, you understand?"

Zhao Xiaohu understood, and immediately shook his head, his voice was immature but firm: "No, Grandpa, I want to be with you, I won't leave you, I won't go down the mountain."

"Presumptuous." Zhao Yongli suddenly felt that he was so embarrassing that he couldn't even handle a grandson. Of course, he knew that his grandson didn't want to leave him because he was old and needed someone to take care of him.

Now is not the time for kindness. If Zhao Xiaohu doesn't go to the city, he might be useless for the rest of his life. The impatient Zhao Yongli scolded his beloved grandson for the first time, took a deep breath of hookah, coughed a few times, and put on a straight face: "Huzi, didn't you listen to what Grandpa said?"

Zhao Xiaohu lowered his head, patted Zhao Yongli who was coughing non-stop, tears flowed down, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, I am obedient. How about we go down the mountain together?"

Zhao Yongli stroked Zhao Xiaohu's head again, his voice softened, and he said softly: "Grandpa can't go down the mountain, the folks need me, you just need to be obedient with your brother and sister, grandpa is fine, don't worry about it, okay? "

Zhao Xiaohu snuggled up to Zhao Yongli, his grandfather and grandson loved each other deeply, and his tears kept flowing. He was reluctant to leave his grandfather, but he didn't want to disobey his grandfather's decision. He had to make difficult and important choices in life at a young age. Brother Jun, Brother Li, and Sister Ting went down the mountain together to make grandpa happy.He also knew that what grandpa had decided would not change even if the sky fell.

"Grandpa, then you have to take care of yourself." Zhao Xiaohu choked up.

"Why are you crying? Grandpa isn't dead yet. Well, Huzi, go and pack your things, and go down the mountain with brother Jun tomorrow morning." Zhao Yongli gently pushed Zhao Xiaohu, turned around and secretly wiped away his tears.

Zhao Xiaohu reluctantly entered the small room where he lived, and he had nothing to clean up, a few tattered clothes, some strange small stones he picked up in the mountains, and some stones he picked up when he was hunting in the dense forest on the top of the mountain with his grandfather. Some of the strong or sharp animal teeth and bones that I got were filled with a big cloth bag. The little boy was going to leave his dependent grandfather tomorrow morning. The little boy was very sad. Packing up things, he kept comforting the amazing little tiger.

That night, after Liu Jun and Zhao Yongli drank, they proposed to go down the mountain and sleep in the car, but Zhao Yongli stopped him, saying that he had sent several villagers to guard Liu Jun's car all night to prevent damage, so don't worry. The car under the mountain is safe.

Zhao Yongli said: "Ah Jun, if you don't think the people in the mountains are poor or my thatched hut is broken, you can sleep here overnight, otherwise I won't be able to keep a single guest, and I will feel uneasy."

Village Chief Zhao's words were very sincere and emotional, and Liu Jun could not refuse, so he agreed. The sleeping conditions in the thatched hut in the mountains can be imagined, it is not shabby, but Zhao Yongli gave up his bed to Mengting to sleep in, Liu Jun Jun, Dumb, and the grandfather and grandson of Village Chief Zhao all slept on the floor. Liu Jun couldn't bear to think about how they slept until dawn that night.

Many years later, Liu Jun realized that the village head Zhao, knowing that there were no conditions for staying guests at home, insisted on staying overnight with him, the mute, and Meng Ting. After going down, that night, Liu Jun's soul was baptized, and the strong feeling of living in the thatched cottage and caring about the common people began from that night.

After Meng Ting also stayed overnight in the thatched hut of Village Chief Zhao's house, she was greatly shocked psychologically. When she returned to the city the next day, she submitted her resignation letter to Director Han Hongtao without hesitation, but she was almost sexually assaulted by the perverted Director Han Hongtao. Threats, that's another story.
