Qiming 1158

Chapter 1317 Fool
"Yes, I will fully advance this aspect, and it will be on the agenda in the future."

Tian Guizi put down his job and wiped his mouth: "Since I took over this matter, I won't let it go until all the problems are over."

"Then you should also pay more attention to rest. You have worked hard for the past five years. It is indeed too hard. After that, I will give you a period of vacation, so you can rest more."

Su Yonglin took a bowl of broth for Tian Guizi.

Tian Guizi thanked and took it, and then smiled: "Vacation... I haven't rested for a long time. I've been too busy with many things, and I'm getting used to this kind of life. If I'm on vacation suddenly, I may not know how to rest."

"To accompany your family, to accompany your children, your daughter is only two years old, and it is time for you, a father, to accompany you well."

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "No matter how busy you are at work, don't forget to go home. By the way, the Yellow River Project is over, and our financial pressure has been greatly reduced, so I plan to resolve the Jiangnan War within this year and complete it. Unite.

When I went south with the army, you stayed in Zhongdu. When I came back, I would give you two or three months of long vacation. You could go back to your hometown to live for a while, look at the mountains and rivers of your hometown, and look for the villagers in your hometown, and also bring your children back once. , by the way, sweep the grave of your parents and sister. "

Speaking of this, Tian Guizi put away the smile on his face, and put down the soup bowl he was holding.

"So many years have passed, what will my hometown look like, whether there are still living villagers or even living people in my hometown, that is something I dare not think about. I can't imagine going back to my hometown, if a familiar house I can't see it, even a familiar person can't see it, what kind of mood would it be..."

Su Yonglin also fell silent.

Tian Guizi was born in Songyang, Chuzhou. His ancestors were three generations of poor peasants and two generations of tenant farmers. Five generations of people did not talk about great wealth and wealth. At least he was a generation of cattle and horses. A snow disaster, even the tenant farmers have to do.

Back then, it wasn't just his hometown that suffered snowstorms, but many surrounding areas were hit by snowstorms. The situation in his hometown was a little better, so many refugees poured in and desperately needed job opportunities, so he started a tragic introspection with local tenants.

Tian Guizi's parents wanted to raise two children, but they couldn't get enough of those single high-quality refugees who were hungry and eager to accept the [-]-year contract. They lost their tenant status and were driven away.

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, with heavy snowfall, Tian Guizi's family of four, his parents and sister died of freezing and starvation one after another on the way to escape. He was the only one left alive, struggling to travel.

It was also a coincidence of fate. In the winter when Su Yonglin was nine years old, he followed his father to Chuzhou to open up a new market for the sale of Su's family salt. On the way, he met a group of refugees who had fled. He saw Tian Guizi, who was nine years old like him at the time, fall down. I couldn't get up from the ground, and I felt sympathy.

So he got off the warm donkey cart, took Tian Guizi into the cart, wrapped him in a blanket, and did it himself, spoonful by spoonful of warm gruel to save him.

After that, Tian Guizi never returned to his hometown. Even if the Su family smuggled salt to Chuzhou, Tian Guizi deliberately avoided it and did not want to return to that sad place.

It was not until Su Yonglin decided to take the big guy north to Shandong to start a revolution and anti-golden revolution, and he only returned to Chuzhou once, in order to build graves for his parents and sister.

It's a pity that a long time has passed, and the bodies of his parents and sister are estimated to have long since returned to dust. When they got into the soil, they set up tombs for them.

What he thought at the time was that he would probably never come back, and he would most likely die in Shandong, most likely on a certain battlefield and become the nourishment of the earth, so this was the first and last time to pay homage to his parents and sister.

It doesn't matter if you're a ghost or a ghost, your parents and sister always have a grave, even if it's a lonely one, it's better than nothing.

From then until now, Tian Guizi has not died, and has become one of the most powerful figures in the world's most powerful country. However, he has never returned to Chuzhou, and he does not know whether the tomb is still there.

Like Su Yonglin, he devoted almost all of his energy to his work and dedicated it to the Ming Dynasty, and at a stall where the country was about to be unified, Su Yonglin gave him advice.

"Go back and have a look, you always have to go back. Although the past is unbearable to look back on, it is precisely because of this that you must face the past bravely. It is your past, an inseparable part of you, and your journey along the way. Up to now, the original intention should not and should not be forgotten.”

Su Yonglin sat beside Tian Guizi and hugged Tian Guizi.

Tian Guizi rubbed his eyes and nodded slowly.

"I see, I'll go back."

Su Yonglin smiled.

"This time, you are no longer alone. You have a wife and a daughter. You are a man with a family. Take it back to show your parents and sister, and tell them that the Tian family has a successor. It must be very pleasing.”

"Ah."

Tian Guizi pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Together, Su Yonglin and Tian Guizi started from Kaifeng and finally arrived at the estuary of the Yellow River in Binzhou. Standing on the water monitoring station not far from the estuary of the Yellow River, they looked at the boundless sea and couldn't help themselves.

The sinners forced the Central Plains and the Ming Kingdom to overcome the fateful opening with absolute will, courage and tenacity. The biggest threat and biggest obstacle have been solved by their "foolishness" like the Foolish Old Man.

If "folly" is effective, if it benefits the country and the people, then Su Yonglin will not hesitate to complete it, no matter it is five years, ten years, or 20 or 30 years.

Whenever possible, he must persevere and must do it.

"I have waited for this day for five years. During the five years, I kept telling myself that I must persevere and believe that our people can create miracles and complete the projects that are not favored by others. Humans will conquer the sky!
But I also had doubts, I also doubted whether this thing could be done, whether such a terrifying river could be successfully guided into the river all the way to the east, if not, if it failed, what should we do..."

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi and said with a smile: "Guzi, thank you, thank you all, you convinced me that we can even successfully complete the diversion of the Yellow River, so what else can we do?"

"From the very beginning, you and Daming were invincible in the world."

Tian Guizi pointed to the depths of the sea: "Whether it is a known enemy or an unknown enemy, no one can shake our Ming Kingdom!"

"That's a must."

Su Yonglin held Tian Guizi's hand and smiled happily.
