After leaving Zhang's house, the two brothers walked slowly together, pushing their bicycles.

Tonight's wild vegetable steamed buns made Zhang Guoqing happy.

Although it is still coarse grain, it is much better than corn bran steamed bread. My parents can swallow it and fill their stomachs, and they can live the life they want.

He asks nothing more of his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and that's all he needs.

"Xiaowu, did you see that? Now my sister-in-law listens to my brother. My parents won't be wronged. In a few days, my sister-in-law will go to work, and they will have more freedom."

"Who told you that my sister-in-law goes to work?"

"Didn't Jiaojiao tell you? Isn't the textile factory hiring a lot of people now? Big sister told her, and she went."

I really haven't heard her mention it. It would be strange if his wife would talk about Huang Cuilan. "Jiaojiao should have told me, but I've been busy lately and didn't pay attention."

"Uncle Zuo asked about you today, asking what you were busy with and why he hadn't seen you for a month. Did he want to talk to you about something?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head. "I don't know. I'll go over there in the next two days."

"Remember to go there. He inexplicably said today that our county is still the best, and he even looked at me deliberately. I always feel that he has something else in his words. I almost forgot to tell you."

Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly when he heard this. Zuo Sen is in the south, so should he be preparing to return to Beijing now?

"Of course the county town is good. If it weren't, would our ancestors have fled here? We have mountains and rivers here, so we won't starve to death in any year."

Yes, I won’t starve to death, but who knows what will happen in the unknown future?

Zhang Guoqing wanted to remind him, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

"Brother, let's go. I miss my son."

Zhang Laoer laughed at him, "Are you sure you miss your son and not your wife? Don't run away, wait for your second brother, you little brat..."

The next day after get off work at noon, Zhang Guoqing found the door open and thought that a guest had come.

He knew his wife too well, and if it was necessary to invite a male guest in, she would definitely open the door to avoid suspicion.

"...When Auntie came over, I realized that this kid had been bullying others again. I was so heartbroken when my wife beat him. Sigh... I only have this one child, and I don't know how to educate him. This kid has his grandparents protecting him, and he's extremely naughty...."

Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows and entered the yard.

A couple was sitting in the living room with their son - it was Fatty Li.

"Hey, Secretary Zhang, you're finally back. I just came from the old man's place, and he said you usually come back after get off work. I'm so sorry, the child is making trouble again this time."

Zhang Guoqing laughed and said, "Come on, Secretary Zhang? It's better to call him Xiaowu. How big a fuss can a child cause? Who wasn't naughty when they were young? They become sensible when they grow up. You've been waiting here for a long time, haven't you? Stay home and have a drink with me. This is my sister-in-law, right? You better be careful. What if the child gets hurt?"

Fatty Li quickly stood up again, "Don't say that, I should be ashamed."

"Haha... This is not like you. Sit down quickly, sister-in-law, you sit down too..."

"Uncle, are you really Zhang Mingyuan's uncle?"

Zhang Guoqing really liked the child. He looked lucky and smart. "I really am Zhang Mingyuan's uncle. Little boy, when your mother beat you, did you resist?"

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of candy from the basket and stuffed it into his pocket. Looking at his smiling face, he really looked like his son.

"Thank you, uncle, and thank you, aunt."

Zhang Guoqing was delighted when he heard this. "Jiaojiao, look at this little fellow. He's really smart. He even knows to call you aunt. Tell me quickly, have you taken revenge on your mother?"

Li Daguang glanced at him sideways, "That's my mother, the one who gave birth to me and raised me. Uncle, you are Li Daguang, not a little guy. I have grown up."

"Fat brother and sister-in-law are so lucky!" Zhang Guoqing touched Li Daguang's head, "You have grown up and become a Young Pioneer. You must study hard and don't be naughty."

Li Daguang said unconvincedly: "I get 100 points every time."

Zhang Guoqing looked at him in surprise and realized the child was telling the truth. He gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Great! Amazing! You can play and study at the same time."

Fatty Li smiled bitterly beside him, how could he praise her any more? "Xiao Wu, stop praising her. This kid always gangs up on other kids in the village and fights with them. If it weren't for my wife's bad temper, my house would have been torn down."

"Li Daguang, you said you've grown up, but your father said this to you, how do you feel?"

"Uncle, I was being righteous. Those were my brothers. They were bullied, so of course I helped fight back. I heard from the uncles that you are the most righteous. If it were you, would you help fight?"

Zhang Guoqing gestured for the fat Li couple to sit down. "You asked a very good question. I'll tell you a secret. When I was a kid, I definitely would have gone up to help fight, but as I grew up, I stopped doing that. Why? Because as people grow up, they learn to distinguish between right and wrong.

What else is righteousness? You have to think clearly and ask the elders in your family. They will tell you the truth. Outsiders can't do that! If you know what righteousness means and how to be righteous, then you have truly grown up.

After saying this, Zhang Guoqing sighed secretly, seeing that the child was already deep in thought. Xizi was no match for this child. A person's wisdom is truly innate.

"Uncle, can I come over to play with you often in the future?"

Zhang Guoqing nodded. "Of course. Next time we meet, remember to tell me what righteousness is. This is homework."

Li Daguang raised his hands, which were rubbing his buttocks, above his head and said, "It's a deal between us! I'll go home and ask my grandfather first."

Seeing him running out again, rubbing his butt, Zhang Guoqing said to the couple who stood up, "Fat brother, sister-in-law, the child is smarter than anyone else, please don't hurt him."

Zhou Jiao quickly said, "Let's eat here."

"Normally it's okay, but I've been out for quite some time today, Xiaowu knows, so I can't leave for too long. Brother, you and your sister-in-law should remember to come to my house."

Zhang Guoqing saw that the child was already outside shouting to leave. Nowadays, inviting someone to dinner is a close relationship, so he didn't try to keep them.

After taking the gifts packed by Zhou Jiao, Zhang Guoqing sent them out and refused them several times before letting them take them back.

After Fatty Li and his family walked for a while, his wife said, "I didn't expect Zhang Guoqing and his wife to be so easy to talk to and so polite."

Fatty Li smiled and said, "The young couple are kindhearted people, not those who get carried away by success. Look at the return gift in your hand, it is definitely more valuable than what we gave them. Zhangjia Village relies on Zhang Guoqing, and no one dares to offend him. I wish our Lijiatun would produce a capable person someday."

"Dad, don't worry! The capable one is definitely your son. When I think my uncle is as old as him, he will definitely be as capable as him!"

"Haha...you're really good at blowing! Blow harder!"

At this moment, the fat couple could never have imagined the glory that their son would bring to them and Lijiatun in the future.

As their child grew older and more successful, the couple never forgot this day and remained grateful to Zhang Guoqing. It was also from this day that their son turned over a new leaf, becoming the pride of their lives.

Similarly, at this moment, Zhang Guoqing could never have imagined that this child would become another legendary figure in the county.
