Rural Dad

"Dad." Zhao Han stopped scratching the dog's belly, raised his head, and grinned at the visitor.

The old man smiled first, and wanted to say something but couldn't. He was holding the bowl, a little at a loss, and asked dryly for a long time: "What time did you arrive?"

"I arrived in town at 8 o'clock. I happened to meet Liangzi and asked him to drive a part of the way." Zhao Han stood up.

Looking at his father who had gray hair, he felt a little sour in his nose and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

"Dad, is he grandpa?" Guoguo bit her finger and pulled the corner of Zhao Han's clothes, looking at the old man timidly, curiously and expectantly.

Zhao Jiang looked at the two children with familiar eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes became excited and suspicious: "These two children..."

"Your grandson and granddaughter." Zhao Han touched the heads of the two little guys: "Why don't you call grandpa quickly."

"Grandpa!"

The two little guys shouted together, and they were not afraid of strangers, and ran directly to their grandfather.

“诶，哎哟，慢点，慢点，我的乖孙可别摔着了。”一声爷爷喊得赵江笑得合不拢嘴，看着两人跑过来，直接把碗丢了，伸手扶住两个孩子。

大黄狗瞬间就冲了过去，掉到地上的都是它的，感谢大自然的馈赠。

“爷爷爷爷，爸爸说你家里有小猫小狗，你能把小狗给果果养吗？”

“你叫果果啊，好好好，我家大黄狗刚生了两个小崽子，都给我乖孙女养。”赵江眼神里满是慈爱之色。

大黄狗埋头干饭，丝毫不知道它的孩子被人贩子交易了出去。

星星连忙抱着他的胳膊跳着又摇又晃：“爷爷爷爷我叫星星，我也要养小狗，可是爸爸说不给我养。”

“养养养，都养，你爸不让你养我就揍他。”赵江微微弯腰揽住他。

"Yeah! Long live Grandpa!" Xingxing jumped up with joy, and then said: "Grandpa, why don't you beat him now? Dad only beats me."

Zhao Han: "..."

What a filial son!

You are so filial to your father.

"Did you hear me? You are not allowed to beat my grandson in the future!" Zhao Jiang obeyed his grandson's words.

Xingxing made a face at Zhao Han.

Zhao Han was a little helpless: "Dad, Zhao Xing is a naughty boy. Don't spoil him."

Zhao Jiang ignored him and rubbed Xingxing's face with his stubble with a smile.

"Ah~Ah~"

Two fat puppies, one black and one spotted, cried and ran out with their short legs.

They fell a few times on the way.

"Wow! There are really puppies!"

Guoguo's eyes lit up, and he broke free from his grandfather's arms and ran towards the two puppies.

"I want the black one."

Xingxing also hurriedly chased after him.

Then the brother and sister squatted on the ground with excitement and began to tease the two staggering little fat dogs.

Zhao Jiang watched this scene from a distance with a smile on his face. When he turned his head and saw the bowl licked clean by the big yellow dog, his smile disappeared instantly: "Dead beast."

In the countryside, this is a very taboo behavior.

He pretended to hit the dog. Seeing this, the big yellow dog clamped its tail and ran quickly to Zhao Han.

"This beast, when I was a child, you insisted on raising it. As soon as I brought it back from your uncle's house, it stole meat to eat. I was so angry that I wanted to hit it, but you stopped me. Since then, every time I wanted to hit it, it hid behind you. It has been like this for many years." Zhao Jiang said with some emotion.

Zhao Han also remembered it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He rubbed the dog's head. In the blink of an eye, people have grown up, and dogs have grown old. Time flies.

Zhao Jiang suddenly thought of something, looked at Guoguo and Xingxing, walked to Zhao Han and lowered his voice: "Is it your child with Yaoyao? Why didn't Yaoyao come back with you? Did something happen?"

Yaoyao's full name is Xu Qingyao. When Zhao Han was dating her, he called Zhao Jiang to mention it.

"It's hers, but we're divorced," Zhao Han's face was calm and his tone was also very calm.

He and Xu Qingyao didn't owe each other anything, but they were separated for a long time. In addition, Xu Qingyao was devoted to her career and didn't care about him and the child at all. After all the small conflicts accumulated, they broke out and the two divorced.

Zhao Jiang opened his mouth and hesitated to ask, but he didn't ask in the end. He just sighed and ended the topic, and asked: "When are you leaving again?"

"No, I'm retired. I'll stay at home to take care of the children and accompany you in the future." Zhao Han smiled slightly.

Zhao Jiang nodded: "Okay, I'll save all the money you've sent me over the years. You're tired in the army, so it's good to take a good rest for a while."

"Dad, Liangzi said that Wang Kui has taken a fancy to our Shanlin?" Zhao Han asked.

Zhao Jiang's face changed., he knew his son too well: "Don't mess around, Wang Kui is just like his father, a rogue, just ignore him..."

"Uncle Zhao, who are you scolding? I am a well-known entrepreneur in our village now, how can I become a rogue? I will sue you for defamation, believe it or not!"

A sloppy voice interrupted Zhao Jiang's words. It was the rogue himself.

Zhao Han turned around and looked.

Wang Kui was wearing a black suit in the hot weather, with a big back hair, a big belly, and a greasy face, like a toad that has become a spirit.

There were three young people following behind him.

When Wang Kui saw Zhao Han, the expression on his face froze, and the shadow of his childhood floated to his heart. He stumbled and said: "Han... Hanzi, when did you come back?"

"I heard that you bullied my dad, I retired from the army overnight and beat you up." Zhao Han had no expression on his face.

Wang Kui said with a smirk: "Hanzi, what are you talking about? What's the relationship between us two brothers? Can I do this? Who is wronging me?"

"Wronging you? Then why did you bring so many people here today? Aren't you here to force my dad to contract the back mountain to you?" Zhao Han asked casually.

Wang Kui laughed awkwardly: "Hanzi, look at what you said, how can I do that? Didn't I hear that your pigpen collapsed? You are not at home, so I brought people to help Uncle Zhao fix it. Since you are back, I will leave and meet another day."

After that, he turned around and was about to walk.

"Stop!" Zhao Han shouted.

Wang Kui's body stiffened, and he turned around mechanically, with beads of sweat on his forehead: "Hanzi, is there anything else?"

"Since you are here, I can't let you make a wasted trip to fix the pigpen." Zhao Han said.

Wang Kui was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Then he reacted and shouted to the three people behind him: "What are you all standing there for? Come with me to fix the pigsty, you have no eyesight!"

The three followed Wang Kui in a daze.

"Brother Kui, there are four of us, why should we be afraid of him alone? Go and beat him, just beat him!"

One of them rubbed Wang Kui.

"Shut up! You know shit! That guy is an animal. He can beat a group of people by himself. Hasn't Zhao Han from No. 3 Middle School heard of it?" Wang Kui said angrily.

"Ahem, it's okay, let's fix the pigsty. Fighting is not good. We must abide by the law."
