dream village

Zhang Tao's parents are in complicated moods, like overturning a five-flavored bottle, with guilt, remorse, sadness, pain, anger and other emotions.

Mengxue dropped out of school is a last resort.Although she is the smartest and most sensible in the family, she is also the most practical and hardworking in her studies.But the village was hit by a disaster the year before last, and the family couldn't even eat enough. Even if they sold blood and meat, they couldn't support three people's education at the same time.Their son Zhang Tao is the family's hope for college entrance examinations, and Mengfang is too weak to drop out of school, so they can't help much. They think twice and have no choice but to let Mengxue drop out of school.

This kind of thing is quite common in rural areas.However, this still became a secret pain in their hearts, and it can also be said to be a secret pain for the whole family.Everyone felt very guilty and felt that they owed her too much.When the whole family gets together, they always avoid topics related to it like landmines.

But Zhang Tao, a dead boy, still picks up the pot without opening it, wants to expose their faults, poke their scars, can they not be sad, can they not be angry?

What is the family situation, they know best. Although the family situation has improved slightly this year, it is also made up of various aspects. The lack of a spender in the family and the addition of a earning laborer can be said to be the main factors. [

If Mengxue is allowed to continue studying next year, how will the tuition fees of the three be paid?And how does the family keep functioning?However, Zhang Tao's self-assessment is unrealistic and irresponsible, and his reckless statement that can cause an earthquake in the family is simply throwing them into the fire pit, and then implicating the rest of the family to fall into the fire pit one by one.

Besides, even if the family situation really improved, and three people could study at the same time, it was they who announced it, not Zhang Tao's rash yelling, as if it was Zhang Tao's decision and his credit.If Zhang Tao did this, where would they put their faces?

Another point is that they also had endless worries, did this dead boy have other ideas?Don't want to repeat?Are you really planning to set up a farm in Nanchong?Isn't it a waste of work to save food and clothing for him to study for more than ten years?Isn't the hope in Zhang's house to rely on him to honor his ancestors to be shattered?

Their anger, their hatred, and their worries really overwhelmed them. They were rolled up high, and then fell hard to the ground.

However, it is not easy for them to vent their anger immediately. First, Zhang Tao has just returned home, so he has to save some face for his son; second, it is not good to vent his anger in front of Mengxue.

But this kind of emotion still reacted quickly on them. The father was coughing loudly due to the smoke, and the mother's cooking shovel fell to the bottom of the pot, making a crisp sound.

Under the impact of these two voices, the frozen air began to flow.

The little girl was the first to break the silence, and she shouted excitedly, "Brother, is it true? Then I can go to school with my sister."

Zhang Tao touched the little girl's head, and said slowly and firmly: "It's true, Mengxue will go to study with you in the second half of the year, you have to listen to your sister!"

After a pause, Zhang Tao turned his attention to his parents again and said, "Baby, Mom, you don't need to worry about the money for me and Mengxue to study next year, I have a solution."

"Do you have a solution? What can you do?" Renlong asked angrily.

"I said there is a way, there is a way, I..."

Zhang Tao was about to tell him about his company and farm, when Renlong stood up and interrupted him, scolding, "You have a way? It's not your business that Xuemeizi wants to study, it's our responsibility as parents. You If you don’t study well, what are you doing thinking about such things? If you failed this time..." He probably also thought that he couldn't bring up this sensitive topic again, so he hurriedly shut up and didn't continue.

Chunhua glanced at her son worriedly, then knocked the spatula on the edge of the pot, and shouted angrily at Renlong, "Can you talk, you old man? Tu Nai's casual words like this are also his kindness." , can you be serious?"

Renlong also became angry. The dignity of the head of the family and the man made him unable to bear such contempt. He yelled loudly, "I just said it, so what? Who is the master of this family? Nanchong development is such a big deal." Who did you discuss with?"

He snorted coldly and then asked sharply, "You have no money, but you are so hot-headed that you want to encourage the villagers to join you in building a mountain villa. Are you playing the villagers like monkeys, or are you waiting for them to come and see our jokes?"

"Brother, wash up!" Mengxue put a basin of water in front of Zhang Tao, tugged at his hand, and said in relief, "Brother, you can repeat your studies at ease, and when you are admitted to university next year, our family will be fine. I Don’t worry about it, there are so many girls in the village like this, it’s impossible for all of them to be famous in school. Really, brother, don’t worry about it, I’m fine now.”

Zhang Tao splashed a few handfuls of water on his face, then walked up to his father with a firm expression, and said sincerely, "Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't speak clearly and made you angry."

He looked back at his mother and two younger sisters, and said calmly: "I didn't tell you about the development of Nanchong because I was afraid that you would be worried. At present, I have raised about 400 million yuan in development funds, and Motianma Mine Long invested 100 million yuan, obtained about 100 million yuan in support from the government, borrowed about 100 million yuan from friends, and 100 million yuan in bank loans.”[

Zhang Tao's family opened their mouths wide and listened to him continue to say: "This project has been listed as a key construction project in the city. The mayor is also very concerned about this matter, and will come to inspect it in person in the future."

Having said that, he stopped for a while, looked at his father and said, "Dad, it's thanks to you that this matter can go so smoothly."

"My face?" Renlong was a little puzzled. "Zhang Weiquan, director of the municipal government office, is your classmate. He has contributed a lot to this matter."

"Zhang Weiquan?" Renlong exclaimed unexpectedly.However, a trace of contempt soon flashed across his face, "He actually became the director of the municipal government office?"

"Yes! Director Zhang is now the mayor's favorite, and he may be the deputy mayor in the next term!"

Zhang Tao was a little amused by his father's expression. He had been staying in the Chongli aloofly and aloofly, ignoring the outside affairs.Now that he hears that his classmate has become a high-ranking official, he may have turned up his old calendar again, thinking that he is better than others, so he feels dissatisfied and disdainful.

"Unexpectedly, this guy can climb very fast." Renlong said sourly.

"Dad, you have a good relationship with him, right! When he heard that I was the son of Principal Xia Chong Zhang, he treated me very affectionately, as if he were his own nephew."

"He! He's not good at reading, but he's good at bragging." Renlong said proudly, "I feel sorry for him, but he's been running in front of me and behind me all the time!"

"I'm flattering you! What kind of onion are you?" Chunhua said without losing face, "I'm going to be the mayor now, and you're still a private teacher. You really don't blush with bragging!"

"In the past few days, I have opened a company in the city." Although Zhang Tao pretended to be plain, his expression and tone could not conceal his pride and excitement.
