This scene, no matter how you look at it, feels... a bit incongruous, yet strangely harmonious.
Yes!
Anyone who knows Lin Huowang knows that his house... seems to be quite large, and he has a lot of children.
Therefore, quite a few jokes have been made about this.
Some leaders who were unaware of the truth came to visit Lin Huowang's home to offer New Year's greetings. They thought that preparing five or six red envelopes would be enough, but when they arrived at Lin Huowang's home and saw the large number of Lin's children, they immediately felt embarrassed. They hadn't brought enough red envelopes at all!
Come on, folks!
Lin Huowang raised his wine glass and shouted in a loud voice:
"This first cup of wine is a toast to our black soil! A toast to our ancestors!"
"Dry!"
Thousands of people raised their glasses at the same time, their voices shaking the heavens.
"This second glass of wine,"
Lin Huowang looked at Zhao Daniu and Lin Shuisheng beside him, "A salute to our hard work over the years! A salute to how we turned poverty into prosperity!"
"Dry!!"
"This third cup..."
Lin Huowang turned around again, looking at his large family and his grown children, his eyes softening with tenderness as he said:
"Salute to our home! Salute to our country! Salute to this coming...new century!"
"Dry!!!"
That night, the fireworks in Linjiagou lit up the entire night sky, making it more lively than any other year's Spring Festival.
After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Huowang was also slightly tipsy.
He then quietly left the noisy banquet alone and went to the small hill behind the village.
Here, a dilapidated courtyard remains.
That was the place where he lived with his mother and sister when they were first kicked out, and it was also the place where he was reborn.
Lin Huowang stood in front of the dilapidated wooden door, gently stroking the mottled door frame.
The cold wind blew by, as if it had brought him back to that night when he was hungry and cold.
Liu Rumeng, who was driven to suicide for just two pounds of cornmeal; the sick mother; the younger sister kneeling at the Zhang family's door begging for food...
Everything felt like a fleeting dream.
“Awang.”
A gentle voice sounded behind him.
Lin Huowang turned around and saw Liu Rumeng standing in the snow, wearing a bright red down jacket, smiling at him.
Time seems to have left few traces on her face; she remains as beautiful and ethereal as ever.
"Mengmeng, why did you come out? It's cold outside."
Lin Huowang walked over with a smile and wrapped her coat tighter around himself.
"I was worried you might have fallen because you were drunk and ran out alone."
Liu Rumeng also reached out to adjust the scarf around his neck.
"Mengmeng".
Lin Huowang looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you regret it? You followed such a... womanizer of mine and caused so much trouble."
Liu Rumeng rolled her eyes at him, then gently leaned into his arms, looking down at the brightly lit village and the prosperous scene in the distance.
"regret?"
She smiled, then said very seriously:
"If it weren't for your appearance, I might not have survived the night I was forced by Lin Jianguo."
"But thanks to your appearance, I feel that I am now... the happiest woman in the world."
"Awang, thank you."
"Thank you... for giving me, for giving all of us, such a... dreamlike life."
Lin Huowang held her tightly, watching the first rays of dawn about to rise in the distance, and said softly:
"No, this is more than just a dream."
"This is... the land we built together with our own hands."
