Gradually, Lu Shi adapted to his current job. Although he couldn't find anything valuable every day, he still enjoyed it.
This year was a turning point. Wei Boying's struggle was victorious and he was promoted to the top leader of Le'an County. Zhang Weiren also left the army and returned to his familiar secretary position.
When Wei Boying came to power, the first thing he did was to provide electricity to all the villages in Lizhuang Commune. Shuanglong Village was fortunate to be the first village to receive electricity.
Although many families are still reluctant to use electricity, having electricity and not having electricity are two completely different concepts. In addition, Shuanglong Village has installed telephones. If there is anything in the future, you can just make a phone call to the village.
When Zhang Qiaona and Zhang Jiuyun saw the bright and dazzling lights in their home for the first time, they felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.
After looking at each other, the two of them grinned at the same time, their smiles as bright as blooming spring flowers.
They were so excited that they were at a loss, as if they were in a dream world, with excitement shining in their eyes and happiness on their faces.
It feels like groping in the dark for a long time and finally finding a bright exit, or like finally realizing your wish after going through untold hardships.
Zhang Weiren also bought a little gray donkey for his family. With the donkey, they no longer have to walk when they go to work, and the donkey cart can also help pull things, which saves a lot of trouble during the autumn harvest.
However, there is one more task at home. Every day, the little donkey has to be mowed, cut fodder, and fed with slop. These are all done by Zhang Weibao. He also combs the little donkey's hair.
Zhang Qiao Na was the happiest. With the little donkey, she no longer needed anyone to push the flour mill at home, which saved a lot of effort.
An An is very curious. This is the first time he has seen a donkey in his life. Every day he follows his uncle's instructions and makes blind calls.
An An lives a very good life in his hometown. He doesn't mind the dirt or the tiredness. He runs around with the little dog every day, chasing chickens and dogs. He is very happy.
Sometimes, he would follow his grandparents to play in the fields. While others were working, he was busy picking flowers or catching frogs in the pond.
Whenever sweat dripped down his cheeks, An An would always walk towards the clear pond without hesitation.
He bent down gently and put his hands into the water, feeling the cool touch. Then he would scoop the water onto his face and rub it hard, trying to wash away the heat and fatigue.
However, due to the mud and impurities deposited at the bottom of the pond, An An's face would be covered with mud every time after washing.
His originally fair skin became dirty, even stained with some grass leaves and small insects, but An An didn't care at all and continued to repeat this action tirelessly.
It seemed as if at this moment, he had forgotten all the troubles and worries in the world and was only focused on the small world in front of him.
Every day when he came home, An An was covered in mud. Zhang Qiao Na told him several times but he refused to change. Finally, Zhang Qiao Na made him sleep in his dirty clothes.
An An loves cleanliness very much and he has to change his clothes every day. So when he saw the muddy clothes, he couldn't stand it and begged his uncle to help him change into another set.
Zhang Weibao changed his clothes and helped him take a bath, but also told him not to get his clothes dirty when playing in the future, otherwise he would wash them himself.
Of course An An didn't know how to wash clothes, so he had to agree to his uncle's request. Later, when he played, he would try his best to keep his clothes clean.
Recently, An An has been particularly interested in the well. Every day when his uncle fetches water, he follows behind him. When his uncle draws water, he will quietly look into the well. The clear water in the well will produce circles of ripples under the swing of the bucket.
"An An, be careful, put your head back, you're doomed if you fall."
"I understand, second uncle." An An agreed but did not take any action.
He deliberately shouted towards the wellhead, which produced a strong echo, and An An instantly found a new toy.
He left reluctantly only after Zhang Weibao covered the wellhead.
The weather has been bad these days and it has been raining all the time. An An can't go out to play and he is going crazy staying at home.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and there were still water droplets on the grass by the roadside. As you walked along, you could smell the sweet fragrance of the soil.
Suddenly, there was a "quack quack" sound, and several frogs came out from under a big tree, some big, some small, and the smallest was only as big as a grape.
An An found a new toy and instantly became excited:
"Uncle, quack, frog."
Zhang Weibao saw that it was a toad, and when he saw An An was about to catch it, he quickly hugged the person back:
"An An, this is a toad, you can't catch it."
An An didn't understand, but he still obeyed and didn't attack again. The toad was frightened when it saw humans and quickly disappeared into the grass.
At this time, An An has found a new toy, which is a big snail crawling in the grass with its shell on its back.
An An grabbed it and touched the snail's two tentacles with his hands. The snail "whoosh" and retracted into its shell.
"Uncle, the snail has gone back."
"It's okay, I'll be out soon."
An An waited and waited, but the snail didn't come out. He had no patience to begin with, so he just threw it away.
At this time, the dog Xiao who hadn't been seen for three days came:
"An An, look at my puppy."
Behind Gou Xiao were two puppies, one brown and the other black. They were born to the big dog in Zhang Weishuang's family. They are only two months old now and are very cute. An An fell in love with them at first sight.
"Brother, I like it. I want one."
Gou Xiao nodded and said seriously:
"Well, these two dogs are originally for each of us, one for each of us. Which one do you want to choose?"
"Brother, I want Xiao Hei."
"Okay, then I want rhubarb."
Both dogs are male and they are siblings from the same mother, so they have a very good relationship and cannot be separated at all. In the end, Gou Xiao had no choice but to take them both home and promised An An that he could bring Xiao Hei to see him every day.
With the company of the two puppies, the two little guys are finally less naughty. Now, the happiest thing for them every day is playing with the puppies.
Time passed exceptionally quickly this year. An An had fun, Hu Zi studied hard, and Lu Shi and Zhang Weifang also had a good time together.
Lu Shi's mood has improved a lot since An An returned to his hometown. At the beginning, he was worried that An An was not living well, but later, he became more and more regretful for not sending him back earlier.
With An An not at home, Lu Shi felt much more relaxed, and his relationship with Zhang Weifang also warmed up a lot, as if the two of them had returned to the time when they first got married.
