Rural Dad

"Oh-oh-oh-oh--"

In the early morning, the rooster crowed and the sky became bright. Taoyuan Village, which had been silent all night, seemed to come alive in an instant.

In the misty haze, some people carried hoes or sickles to the fields, some led cows up the mountain, and some rode broken motorcycles to pull goods to the town to set up stalls...

Breakfast in the countryside is not eaten until nine or ten o'clock.

Because most people get up at five or six o'clock to work in the fields, and come back to eat breakfast after finishing a certain amount of work, so the morning meal is similar to lunch.

Lunch is eaten at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner is naturally eaten at eight or nine o'clock in the evening after work.

So basically all three meals are regular meals, because if you have to do physical work, you can't hold on if you don't eat well.

Zhao Jiang used to be like this, but now it's not possible, he has to take care of the work and rest habits of his grandchildren.

So he gets up at six o'clock to make breakfast.

"Dad, let me do it." Zhao Han also got up early, and he was used to this kind of work and rest in the army.

While cutting vegetables, Zhao Jiang turned his head and glanced at him: "Xingxing said that you can even fry noodles now. If I let you cook, how can I still eat?"

"Dad, just listen to his nonsense. I only fry it that time." Zhao Han was a little embarrassed. As a child from the countryside, how could he not know how to cook? It was that time when I accidentally fry it, and Xingxing, that brat, kept nagging him about it.

"Once, it was also frying."

Xingxing came out of the bedroom dressed neatly.

Zhao Jiang was startled: "My dear grandson, why are you getting up so early? Go back to sleep quickly. Breakfast will be ready in a while, and grandpa will call you up."

"Dad, it's okay. Xingxing's work and rest are the same as mine. I have to get up and exercise in the morning." Zhao Han said.

Zhao Jiang was immediately anxious: "Little kid, what kind of exercise is this? He is only five years old, and it is the time for him to grow up. He must get enough sleep!"

"Dad, when I was a kid, I slept late, but you beat me with a broom to get me up to cook. The difference in treatment is too obvious." Zhao Han said in a faint tone.

Xingxing's tone was faint, and even her expression was the same as Zhao Han: "Dad, you treat me the same way."

"Hey! This is called inheritance." Zhao Han said.

Zhao Jiang saw that Xingxing looked good, so he waved his hand to drive him away: "Okay, okay, you two should go wash your faces quickly, especially you, Zhao Han, don't get in the way here, and delay my cooking for my grandson."

After a while, Zhao Han and Xingxing squatted on the stone steps outside the yard to brush their teeth.

Brush left, brush right, brush up, brush down, drink water and rinse your mouth, gurgle, lower your head, spit water, puff.

Every movement of the two was perfectly synchronized.

"Are you ready?" Zhao Han asked.

Xingxing stood at attention: "Always be prepared."

"Then start running, and I'll take you to get familiar with the village." Zhao Han ran out as soon as he finished speaking.

Xingxing followed him in the same posture.

Taoyuan Village is a rare piece of flat land deep in the mountains, so although the road is not wide, it is very flat.

On both sides of the road are houses, vegetable gardens, green rice fields, and various fruit trees.

"Xiaohan, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Take my son to exercise and let him get familiar with the village. Xingxing, this is Granny Wang."

"Hello Granny Wang."

"Oh, this little guy is so sensible."

"Hanzi, I heard that you are the village chief..."

The villagers he met along the way all greeted Zhao Han, and Zhao Han also took Xingxing to recognize people.

He stopped when he ran to the abandoned village school at the head of the village.

"Dad, why don't you run anymore? What is this place?" Xingxing looked around curiously.

This is a flat land with several green-tiled earthen houses with cracked walls and an old basketball hoop with a white and broken wooden backboard.

Zhao Han's eyes were full of memories: "This is where your father and I went to school for the first time in our lives."

Taoyuan Village School was once glorious. At that time, children from several nearby villages came here to attend elementary school.

Until later, no teachers were willing to come, and students naturally had to go to the town, and the village school was abandoned.

"Oh, it turns out to be a school, but it looks so shabby." Xingxing curled her lips with disgust.

Zhao Han chuckled: "Wait, it won't be broken soon, and then you and your sister will also go to the school where your father went."

He must develop the village and make Taoyuan Village the world's number one village.

Invite the best teachers to teach, even if it is this village school, he will turn it into a popular school!

He will lead the whole village to become rich!

Zhao Han can make money, but he will not give money directly to the villagers, but let them earn their own living.

At most, he will create conditions for them to make money.

So he currently has a general idea.

Now people in the city like to go to the countryside.In the future, he will build a picking ecological base with his orchard as the core to attract foreign tourists.

If the spiritual spring is effective for fruit trees, it can be imagined that the fruits in his orchard will definitely cause a sensation.

At that time, there will be no need to worry about not being able to attract people.

As long as there is traffic, the villagers can open farmhouses or supermarkets to make money.

When he has more money, he can completely turn Taoyuan Village into a top tourist destination.

Because Taoyuan Village has mountains, water and beautiful scenery.

Engaging in tourism, breeding and planting can not only avoid polluting the environment, but also make money and get rich.

With money, you can build schools and hospitals and attract talents with high salaries. Why not do it?

Moreover, his years in the army have accumulated deep personal connections for him, and he can win a series of policy support, which is greatly beneficial to the development of Taoyuan Village.

Of course, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel, and everything must be done step by step.

If you take a big step, you will get into trouble.

For example, let's set a small goal first:

Finish the village road, renovate the village school before the fall semester, and hire a few teachers.

Before that, Xingxing and Guoguo have to go to the town kindergarten like other children in the village.

Guoguo is in the senior class, Xingxing is in the preschool class.

The two children don't have to go to school, and he can teach them, but going to kindergarten is not for learning knowledge, but for learning to get along with other children.

Otherwise, they will be too lonely without playmates.

After the two siblings go to the town to study for half a year, they can go to elementary school in the village after the village school is repaired.

So he has to buy a motorcycle to pick up the two children every day for the past six months.

"Dad, look! There are fish in the river!"

Xingxing suddenly interrupted Zhao Han's thoughts.

Zhao Han looked into the river and saw a carp swinging on the water, swimming gracefully.

This behavior is simply a provocation to Zhao Han, a veteran fisherman. How can it be tolerated!

"After breakfast, Dad will take you fishing."

Zhao Han picked up Xingxing, put him on his neck and rode him, running home quickly.

"Oh~ Go! Ride a big horse! Go!"

Xingxing laughed and shouted, and the child's crisp laughter drifted far away with the morning breeze.
