Rural Dad

"My dear granddaughter, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Hearing the crying, Zhao Jiang hurriedly ran out with his cigarette, his face full of concern and anxiety.

"Woo woo~ Grandpa, Dad wants to eat rats, please don't eat, let Guoguo raise rats." Guoguo rushed over and hugged Zhao Jiang's legs, choking.

"No, no, I'll listen to Guoguo." Zhao Jiang coaxed a few words, then glared at Zhao Han: "How old are you, and you still make your daughter cry, is there anyone who raises children like you?"

"Dad, you are a little biased." Zhao Han felt a little wronged and became jealous of his daughter.

Zhao Jiang said confidently: "Bullshit, I already have grandchildren, why do I care about you?"

Then he picked up Guoguo and walked into the house.

Zhao Han: "…………"

"Dad, can you understand my feelings now?" Xingxing looked gloating.

Zhao Han touched his head and said gently, "Good son, do 50 push-ups."

The smile on Xingxing's face gradually solidified.

"Dad, I just want to ask you, is it interesting? Is it interesting?" Xingxing asked with gritted teeth.

Zhao Han was in a much better mood and showed a harmless smile: "Isn't giving birth to a child just for fun? Son, you have to play a role."

If I can't deal with my dad, can I deal with you?

"Dad, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Xingxing's little face was full of seriousness.

Hearing the threat like a play here, Zhao Han smiled even more brightly: "Why, do you still want to bite me?"

"Grandpa!" Zhao Xing took a breath, shouted, and then ran into the house crying hypocritically.

The smile on Zhao Han's face froze: "Oh my god, Zhao Xing, you little bastard..."

"I think you are the little bastard! Zhao Han! You just made my granddaughter cry, and now you made my grandson cry again. You are itching for trouble, right?" Zhao Jiang's voice full of fatherly pressure came from the house.

Zhao Han smiled: "Dad, if I am a little bastard, what are you? It's okay to scold me, but don't scold yourself."

"Dad, hehe, I want to say this to you too." Xingxing stuck out her tongue at Zhao Han.

"Stinky boy." Zhao Han pointed at him as a warning, and then went to treat the bamboo rat with heatstroke.

I'm going to eat the bamboo rat.

Even Jesus can't save it!

I said it!

……………

At night, the sky was full of stars, the full moon was like a jade plate hanging in the sky, and the sound of insects was like music.

In the yard, the family was having dinner.

Da Huang and the two puppies circled around the table.

Looking forward to the bones thrown down by the owner.

"Dad, where is Shu Shu?" Guo Guo asked with her pink bowl, holding the spoon horizontally in her little hand, with rice grains on her mouth, blinking her big eyes.

Zhao Jiang glared at Zhao Han again. He was the one who made dinner, so of course he knew that the bamboo rat was dealt with by Zhao Han.

Under the glare of his old father, Zhao Han smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Guo Guo: "Come on, Guo Guo, try this and see if it tastes good. Dad will tell you after you taste it."

Guo Guo scooped up the meat with a spoon, blew it twice with her little mouth, and then put it into her mouth: "Wow, it's delicious, Dad, what kind of dish is this? Grandpa's dishes are really delicious."

"This is Shu Shu." Zhao Han said.

Guoguo was stunned, her eyes instantly turned red, and she burst into tears: "Wow, Shushu is dead, Shushu is so cute, Dad is so cruel."

A woman's face is like the weather, changing at any time.

"Yeah, yes, it's so tempting, really so tempting!" Xingxing nodded repeatedly, eating bamboo rat meat, her mouth full of oil.

Zhao Jiang was so angry that he pointed at Zhao Han, and had nothing to say to him, and hurried to coax his granddaughter: "Guoguo, be good, don't cry, grandpa will catch a shushu for you tomorrow."

"Dad, it's okay, watch me." Zhao Han smiled and picked up another piece of meat for Guoguo.

Guoguo choked and stared at the meat in the bowl, sniffling and sobbing, her little face full of entanglement.

She didn't want to eat, but Shushu was really delicious.

Then she cried while eating.

She ate three bowls with tears.

After eating, she wiped her mouth, looked at Zhao Jiang with tears in her eyes and said: "Grandpa, will you catch rats for Guoguo tomorrow? Rat is really delicious."

Zhao Jiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, Grandpa will catch them for you tomorrow, so that Guoguo can eat enough."

"Yeah, yeah, Grandpa is so nice."

"Is Dad not nice? This bamboo rat was caught by Dad." Zhao Han showed his presence.

Guoguo flattened her mouth: "Humph! Guoguo ignored Dad, Dad is bad, so he bullied Guoguo."

"Hahaha..." Zhao Han laughed.

Eating, sleeping and teasing children are also the joys of life.

After the two children finished eating,Watch TV.

It was still the old-fashioned big-head TV that relied on installing a pot cover to receive TV programs, with a small and bulky screen.

After all, although the outside world is changing with each passing day, this small mountain village is always lagging behind the new era.

It seems to be two different worlds from the outside world.

After the child left, Zhao Jiang lit the leaf tobacco in the pipe and smoked it. After a long silence, he said: "You should take the child away."

"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhao Han was stunned.

Zhao Jiang sighed: "After all, the village is not conducive to the growth of children. It is not convenient for children to go to school or have a headache or fever. Now it is not like when you were a child."

Although he was reluctant, he had to make this decision for the sake of his child's future.

"Dad, you are just worrying about nothing. When the time comes, I will repair the abandoned village school and let the children in the village and nearby villages go to school there. The village clinic will also be repaired, and the village road will also be opened to connect to the highway." Zhao Han had already thought about it, he wanted to develop the village.

As long as the village develops, people working outside will be willing to come back. After all, if the family can make money, who would be willing to leave their hometown?

The village will be lively then.

Zhao Jiang asked: "It's easy to say. Whether it's building a school or a clinic, these all cost money. Where do you get so much money?"

"Don't worry about it. I will definitely make money with the village." Zhao Han was full of confidence.

Even if there is no space, with his vision and connections, the village can be developed.

What's more, there is still space now?

Zhao Jiang took a few more puffs of cigarettes: "Okay, you are not young anymore, just know it yourself."

"Woof! Woof woof--"

Suddenly, Da Huang barked wildly outside the yard.

The two little puppies followed suit.

A beam of flashlight light shot in.

"Brother, why are you here so late." After seeing who was coming, Zhao Jiang hurried to open the yard door.

Zhao Hai waved his hand: "Don't bother, I'll just say a few words and leave, I won't go in."

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Zhao Han asked.

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "I've been running around all day today, and everyone in the village agrees that you can be the village chief. I went to the town government again and told them that this is the village seal and account book. From now on, you will be the village chief of the hundreds of households in our Taoyuan Village."

Just like that, Zhao Han, who was 25 years old and had just retired from the army, officially became the village chief of Taoyuan Village.
