I don’t know how Xu Jinghong conquered Erniu during this period, no, it was Xu Zhiyuan.
The relationship between father and son is visibly getting better day by day.
After eating, living and sleeping together these days, Xu Jinghong gradually got to know his son better.
He learned about the tragic past from his son.
I feel really bad and it hurts.
He wanted to do something to make amends, but he felt like he could do nothing.
Especially at this time, Xu Zhiyuan's uncle and his family dared to come and cause trouble.
They knew that the biological father of this bastard had come to their house and wanted to claim his son back, and he was trying to extort money from them.
"Are you Erniu's biological father? Do you know how much money our family spent raising your son?
My brother worked himself to death just to support your son.
You want to take Erniu away like this? That's impossible." Uncle Gu regarded himself as a benefactor and acted in a domineering manner.
In fact, in the past two or three years, as Erniu grew up, his family could no longer control him.
Xu Jinghong is a modest gentleman and rarely gets angry with others.
This was the first time he was so angry that he wanted to kill Uncle Gu.
Most of Zhiyuan's pain in the past was caused by this family.
He thought about it in his heart and said it out loud.
"Beat him!"
The two people who were protecting him obeyed his command completely and beat Uncle Gu into a pig's head.
There were howling sounds coming from the yard.
"Shut his mouth." Xu Jinghong said with disgust.
Uncle Gu's wife, who came with him, saw this and immediately called for help: "Help! Someone is going to be beaten to death."
A plainclothes officer directly covered her mouth.
What these two people did to the child was simply outrageous. Even if Xu Jinghong didn't say it, they wanted to secretly put a bag on them and beat them up.
Until the two were beaten so badly that they didn't even have the strength to scream.
Xu Jinghong then walked up to them and said, "You will never feel pain unless the fist lands on you. You are not human beings to abuse a child like this.
Today's beating is a reward for the torture you have inflicted on my son over the years. It's a bargain for you.
Don't be so unconvinced as to report it to the police. I believe the villagers are very discerning. You know who they are on the side of, and I don't need to tell you. You definitely know better than me."
Uncle Gu was gagged and mumbled, "I won't do it again. I was wrong. Please let me go!"
Xu Zhiyuan watched all this with an expressionless face and said nothing.
He thought he could remain calm.
But when he heard the man calling him "my son" all the time, he was secretly happy.
He finally had a relative in this world, someone who would protect him wholeheartedly.
This deep love diluted his obsession with the past and made him begin to be full of hope for the future.
The father and son agreed to leave here on the fifth day of the New Year.
Before leaving, Xu Zhiyuan needed to deal with his household items and say goodbye to Gu Tingzhou's family.
If Uncle Gu's family was the one who brought him pain, then Gu Tingzhou's family was the one who warmed him with their hearts.
Most of the things in the house are old and worn out, and can hardly be taken away. Xu Zhiyuan is used to being frugal, and he is reluctant to throw them away.
He sold most of the daily necessities and food to the villagers at a low price. Those that he could not sell were given to the poorer families in the village.
Finally got everything done.
Only the house remains.
This house has been there for many years and it is probably impossible to sell it.
Xu Jinghong decided to give it to the village.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Xu Zhiyuan cooked a simple family dinner at home and invited Gu Tingzhou and his wife to attend.
Knowing that he was leaving with his father and they didn't know when they would see each other again, Gu Tingzhou and Li Qingyun felt a little sad, but they were more happy for him.
In order to prevent the three children from ruining the atmosphere, Li Qingyun sent them to the old house to be looked after by Gu's father and mother.
The couple attended the dinner alone.
During the meal, Xu Zhiyuan burst into tears. He stood up and bowed to the two of them.
"Uncle Gu, Auntie, Erniu thanks you for your help and care over the years. Uncle Gu taught me skills, and it was your teachings and the books you gave me that kept me going until now.
Without you, I might not have made it this far, wouldn’t have waited for my dad, and wouldn’t have the good life I have now.”
Li Qingyun hurried to pull it.
Xu Jinghong raised his hand to stop him.
"Comrade Li, please accept this gift from the child! You deserve it.
As a father, I should also bow to you and thank you for taking care of Zhiyuan when he was young and helping him grow into a young man who stands tall and proud.
I, Xu Jinghong, will always be in your debt. From now on, I will be happy to assist you whenever you are asked to do so."
After saying that, Xu Jinghong also stood up solemnly and bowed to them.
The couple hurriedly stopped them.
"No, no, Engineer Xu, you are a learned man and have benefited our entire country and nation. We should be grateful for your selfless dedication." Li Qingyun supported him.
"Please let me complete this gift! Otherwise, I will feel uneasy in the future."
Li Qingyun had no choice but to let go and let him finish his bow.
The couple also returned the greeting.
Thousands of words can be expressed in just this one gesture.
Finally, Gu Tingzhou asked Xu Jinghong about his future plans for Xu Zhiyuan.
The two of them had a very interesting conversation about this issue.
After much deliberation, Xu Jinghong decided to let his son take an unconventional approach.
First follow the professionals and learn some real skills. With Xu Jinghong's background, it will not be a problem to find him a job in the national security department in the future.
Xu Zhiyuan's cultural level is too far behind, and it cannot be made up in a day or two.
Taking the cultural route will definitely not work.
The son of a great scientist was almost illiterate, and Xu Jinghong had no choice but to accept this result.
Try your best to find a way out for your son.
If Xu Zhiyuan wants to be a parasite for the rest of his life, Xu Jinghong can support him.
But Xu Zhiyuan himself said that he wanted to learn martial arts.
In the future, it would be great if he could be like the plainclothes officers around Xu Jinghong, who could fight ten people at once.
He has been hunting frequently in the past two years and has developed a strong body.
Gu Tingzhou and Li Qingyun expressed their support.
And I wish him to shine in his own track in the future.
Early the next morning.
Li Qingyun prepared some dry food for the journey and gave it to Xu Jinghong and Xu Zhiyuan.
Xu Jinghong wrote down his office phone number and address and gave it to Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun also wrote down the address of the unit for them.
It will be convenient for us to contact you later.
"I'm currently based in Beijing, which isn't too far away, so I'll definitely keep in touch when I have time.
If there's anything I can do to help, feel free to ask."
"Okay, I wish you a safe trip."
"Uncle Gu, Auntie, I'm leaving. Thank you. Don't forget me in the future." Xu Zhiyuan got on the ox cart with both anticipation and anxiety about the future.
"Go, Zhiyuan. I hope you can ride on the wind and have a bright future."
