Rural Dad

There are green mountains behind the house and a vegetable garden in front of the house.

An old hen and a group of chicks are clucking in the vegetable garden looking for insects to eat. Several big geese are chasing two small fat dogs around in the yard with their necks raised.

The big yellow dog lazily lies under the eaves, panting with his tongue sticking out, and his tail sways behind him.

The fat orange cat lazily lies on the stone pier in front of the door, making a gurgling sound when sleeping.

From time to time, a few pig calls can be heard from the pigpen.

A cherry tree full of flowers in the yard has become the favorite of bees. As the wind blows, the treetops sway with thousands of flowers, and a rain of petals falls.

In the main room, the family sits around the table.

There are seven or eight dishes on the table.

All of them are common home-cooked dishes in the countryside, such as bamboo shoots fried with bacon, dried green beans stewed with pig feet, smoked sausage, potato stewed with chicken, smashed cucumbers, roasted peppers and eggplants, and scrambled eggs with green peppers.

Although the appearance is ordinary, the aroma is mouth-watering.

They are all pollution-free farm dishes, and the pigs are also prepared with pig grass by themselves, which makes them more delicious.

Guoguo and Xingxing stared at them with their eyes wide open. They were already hungry after sitting in the plane and car for a day.

"Grandpa will pick a quack for you." Zhao Jiang smiled and picked up a piece of pig's feet for each of them.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Xingxing grabbed it with her hand, but was burned and quickly took her hand back and blew it, which made everyone laugh.

"Slow down, wait for it to cool down before eating, or use chopsticks." Zhao Han said calmly.

Zhao Hai looked at Zhao Han: "Are you leaving after you come back?"

"No, I plan to run the orchard in the back mountain." Zhao Han expressed his thoughts.

After all, you can't just eat and wait to die after you come back.

You still have to find something to do.

Otherwise, you will be useless if you are idle for a long time.

Moreover, now that he has the Space Spirit Spring, he has the confidence to run the orchard well.

Zhao Hai nodded: "It's a business to build up the orchard. There is another thing. I am old, and I plan to let you be the village chief."

"Me?" Zhao Han was stunned.

Guoguo and Xingxing also looked at Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai said affirmatively: "It's you. There are not many young people in the village. They all go out to work. You are young and energetic. You have served in the army and have experience. If you become the village chief, the villagers will agree."

Rural areas are like this. Young people have gone out to work. The village is basically full of old, weak, women and children.

Taoyuan Village is relatively large, with nearly a hundred households, so at least there are a few young people left.

"This... Let me think about it." Zhao Han really didn't think about being a village chief. Although the village chief is small, it is also a responsibility on his shoulders. He has no experience in this area.

Zhao Hai frowned: "Why are you so hesitant, man? I'm not forcing you to lead the whole village to become rich, just take care of some things."

"Okay! Then I'll be the official." Zhao Han has made up his mind to lead the whole village to become rich.

He now has a new long-term goal.

Make Taoyuan Village the best village!

With the help of the space, he is very confident.

If the village develops well, it will also make Guoguo and Xingxing live more conveniently and happily in the village.

Zhao Hai's brows relaxed: "That's right, don't be afraid of taking responsibility, this is the seed of my Zhao family."

"Oh, congratulations, dad, for becoming an official." Xingxing smiled and took the juice to toast Zhao Han.

The juice was given to Zhao Jiang by Zhao Han's eldest brother and married second sister when they came back to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Han is the third child in the family.

Zhao Han patted his head: "What kind of official is the village chief? You are just an official fan."

"Why is the village chief not an official? Don't treat bean buns as dry food." Zhao Hai smiled and looked at Zhao Xingxing and said, "You will be the top second-generation official in our village in the future. How about it? Are you happy?"

"Yeah, yeah." Xingxing nodded repeatedly.

After dinner, around two o'clock in the afternoon, Guoguo and Xingxing, who were tired all day, went to bed because they were sleepy.

Zhao Han sent his uncle Zhao Hai out.

"Okay, don't send me off. Why are we so polite as a family?" Zhao Hai, who was drunk, waved his hand, burped and left without looking back.

Zhao Han walked towards the pigpen and saw that the collapsed place had been repaired almost completely. He smiled: "Wang Kui, you are very efficient."

"Of course, I have to be efficient when I work for you." Wang Kui forced a smile.

After seeing him finish the roofing, Zhao Han said nonchalantly: "Don't set your sights on my back mountain. I want to start my orchard again."

His orchard was on the back mountain, but Wang Kui was only willing to pay for the forest when he contracted it, and not for the orchard, so Zhao Jiang disagreed.

"Don't worry, Hanzi, I won't set my sights on your back mountain again." Wang Kui was telling the truth, because now that Zhao Han was back, he didn't dare to set his sights on it.

ZhaoHan waved his hand: "Get lost."

"Well, OK, I'm leaving. If you have anything to ask next time, just ask me." Wang Kui didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his face, and couldn't wait to run away with his people.

"Brother Kui, what's the matter? You said we were here to help you, but we didn't expect that after working hard for a whole morning, this matter is just going to be forgotten?"

After running a long way, one person complained.

"Forget it? How can it be forgotten? Now it's not a matter of the forest, it's about face! You guys wait and see, I will definitely get my face back."

"Then Brother Kui, this half-day's wages..."

"Wages are your uncle! Are you repairing the pigpen for my family? If you want wages, go to the Zhao family to pay you." Wang Kui left angrily.

The three people on the spot were confused, and after a long while they cursed in a low voice: "Next time I will repair your family's grave!"

……………

On the other side, Zhao Han walked towards the orchard.

He wanted to see how the orchard was.

After going out, I walked along the path to the orchard.

Because no one took care of it, the orchard had been abandoned long ago.

There were weeds everywhere, but the fruit trees were still alive and blooming. Peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, cherry blossoms, all in full bloom.

A mountain breeze blew, accompanied by bursts of flower fragrance that made people intoxicated, and the swaying fruit trees looked like a sea of ​​flowers.

Such a beautiful scenery was refreshing.

Zhao Han took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then posted it to his circle of friends: the most beautiful March in the world.

Soon someone commented.

"Fuck, where is this? Did the captain go traveling after retiring? Life is so comfortable!"

"What place is this? Which scenic spot? The sky is so blue, and there are flowers all over the mountain, it's amazing."

"Captain, is this your hometown? I'll come to see you when I'm on vacation."

"Do you want to see the captain? I'm embarrassed to expose you, you just want the scenery of the captain's hometown."

Looking at the comments of these familiar faces, Zhao Han smiled. Even if they have retired and are far apart, they are still a family.

There are beautiful scenery in front of them and brothers behind them.

They have also fought on the battlefield and made contributions to the country.

Now my father is still alive, and I have both sons and daughters.

Life is like this, how lucky is it?
