Rural Dad

"One, two, three!"

Liu Hai and two other young men hung the shaved wild boar on the wooden ladder with an iron hook.

Then Liu Hai began to cut open its belly.

"Eh——"

Xingxing and Guoguo were both scared and wanted to watch.

"Xingxing and Guoguo are cowards. They don't even dare to watch the killing of pigs!" The other children in the village made a noise.

Xingxing said angrily: "I'm not."

"That's right! That's right! Lululu!"

Children are all innocent, and they are related to each other in the village, so they quickly got to know each other. They chased and played in the yard, making bursts of laughter.

The women who were washing and cutting vegetables were all smiling and chatting at the same time.

The old people gathered under a walnut tree outside the yard, smoking leaf tobacco and talking about national affairs.

The temporary stove in the yard had been built with yellow mud and stones, and Zhao Han was making a fire.

"Meow~"

A fat orange cat rubbed his calf.

"You still remember to go home." Zhao Han grabbed the orange cat's neck and lifted it onto his lap.

He saw this orange cat only when he first got home, and it disappeared in the next few days.

Cats in the countryside are like this. It is a basic operation for them to disappear for several days without any reason.

This orange cat didn't even get the spiritual spring water.

Zhao Han planned to take some time to feed it.

The orange cat lay on Zhao Han's legs, enjoying his touch and making gurgling sounds.

"Hanzi, you smoke." Wang Kui came over with a smile and took out a cigarette and handed it over.

He also lived in the village. Uncle Chen knew about the conflict between him and the Zhao family, so he didn't call him, but he ran over with a big pot of wine.

Zhao Han glanced at him and said, "No."

"It's better not to smoke, it's better not to smoke, smoking is harmful to health." Wang Kui took it back embarrassedly.

Zhao Han asked, "What's the matter?"

"Han Zi, some time ago... we had some misunderstandings. I won't mention it in the past. You can just watch me perform in the future." Wang Kui weighed his tone.

Zhao Han nodded in denial.

"Han Zi, I know you don't believe me, but just watch me. I really want to make peace with you." Wang Kui expressed his position again.

Zhao Han stood up and said, "Then you can start the fire."

"Okay, okay." Wang Kui smiled and took over Zhao Han's position to start the fire. He was wearing a suit and soon became sweaty. He couldn't even wipe it off.

More than two hours later, more than a dozen tables and chairs moved from various families were placed in and outside the yard.

The main dish made from the wild boar was placed on the table, as well as other dishes brought by each household.

There were steamed pork with rice flour, fried crispy pork, stir-fried pork intestines, braised pork with preserved vegetables, longan meat, pork with sand, and so on...

The appearance was average, but it smelled so good that the children sitting alone at a table like Guoguo had already been salivating.

Originally, Zhao Han wanted to sit at the table of children.

But he thought that the old men only drank wine and did not eat food, so he squeezed to the table of the old men.

"Well, let me say a few words before the meal begins." Zhao Han stood up, holding a small half-cup of white wine in his hand.

The white wine was brought by Wang Kui, and he filled a large plastic bottle with a good wine costing one hundred yuan per pound.

In an instant, everyone looked at Zhao Han.

Zhao Han said: "Everyone here is my uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, and cousin. This is the first time I have come back to gather with you. You trust me to be the village chief, so I will not let you down."

"I have already negotiated with the county. The county will allocate funds to our village to build roads. The funds will be available soon, so everyone should finish the work in advance and help build the road together. The sooner it is built, the more convenient it will be."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

"Xiao Han is so capable. He got the road construction money as soon as he came back. It will be convenient when our Taoyuan Village has a highway. Xiao Han is so amazing."

"Yes, it is really right to choose Xiao Han as the village chief. Let's toast to Xiao Han."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Han is now the savior of our village. Let's toast him together."

Zhao Han drank a glass with everyone, motioned everyone to be quiet, and then talked about the plan to reopen the village school.

But the village school needs to be funded by the whole village.

Although he could definitely afford to do this, it would be better to raise funds for such public projects in the village.

Let everyone participate.

Otherwise, people would take it for granted that he alone should pay for any repairs in the village.

He would at most pay the most, but he did not want to be the one who got sucked in.

"I will donate 50,000 to build the village school!" Wang Kui was the first to take the lead, which made Zhao Han look at him with new eyes.

This guy really needs to reform himself.

And this guy made a lot of money from the farm.

With Wang Kui taking the lead, other villagers also donated money.100 yuan donation, all contributed one.

After all, their children need to go to school, and it will undoubtedly be more convenient for the village to have its own school.

Zhao Han finally said: "I am the village chief. No matter how poor we are, we cannot be poor in education. I will personally contribute 300,000 yuan!"

Wow!

Everyone was shocked by Zhao Han's generosity, but also admired him.

From this incident, Zhao Han gained the respect of all villagers and began to have the final say in Taoyuan Village.

After nine o'clock in the evening, the banquet was over, and the villagers left after helping to clean up.

The Zhao family yard returned to peace.

"Where did you get 300,000 yuan? Can you spend so much money to build a primary school?" Zhao Jiang's face was full of worry.

Zhao Han calmly said: "Dad, didn't you notice that the basket was empty when I came back today?"

Zhao Jiang was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Han in disbelief: "Sold... out?"

"In short supply." Zhao Han smiled.

Zhao Jiang was so excited that he trembled all over and swallowed his saliva: "Sold... How much did you sell it for?"

That's one hundred yuan a piece!

"Thirty-two thousand." Zhao Han said an integer.

Zhao Jiang's pupils suddenly dilated, and he felt dry mouth and heartbeat, muttering to himself and repeating this number: "Thirty-two thousand, thirty-two thousand..."

"Dad, this is nothing, you can't stand it at only thirty-two thousand, what will you do when it's three million or thirty million in the future?" Zhao Han joked.

Zhao Jiang almost fainted: "Oh my God, how can I spend so much money."

He had never seen how thick a hundred thousand yuan stacked together was in his life, let alone three million or thirty million. He didn't even dare to think about it, it felt like a dream.

"There are many places to spend money. I want to make our Taoyuan Village the best village in the world." Zhao Han stood up, looked at the moon, and said with high spirits.

At this moment, Zhao Jiang admitted that he was old.

He looked at Zhao Han's tall back, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride, but also a little lonely.

His son is really promising and capable.

And he can no longer help his son.

Parents' hearts are always so contradictory.

But they are full of love for their children.
