Druid's Country Retirement

"Wang Zha, one three."

"I can't afford it!"

"The dog got in. You couldn't have had three in your hand, right?"

Li Hongbing stared at the second brother-in-law with wide eyes, which made the second brother-in-law feel guilty. He turned over his trump card, and it was really Zhang San.

"Then I'll give you a spanking. Surrender and stop fighting!"

He threw the cards in his hand into the card pool and threw the few remaining coins in front of him to his eldest brother-in-law.

After playing for less than an hour, I was held back by this scammer, my second brother-in-law, and I couldn't win a single game. Although I didn't play much, I always felt aggrieved when I didn't win.

The eldest brother-in-law collected the scattered dimes in front of him with a smile.

It's not easy to get money out of my brother-in-law's mouth.

"You must have not washed your hands when you went to the toilet." The second brother-in-law muttered with a broken face, angry that his brother-in-law doubted his poker skills.

"You can pull him down!" Li Hongbing rolled his eyes and took out his phone to check the time. It was after 8 o'clock, and Li Ming probably hadn't rested yet. By the way, he wanted to ask about the outcome of the poisoning incident.

Make the call.

After a few rings, the call came through and Li Ming's slightly tired voice came.

"boss."

"How's the situation going?" Li Hongbing asked softly.

"For now, it's okay. All four of Li Daquan have been jailed. The police also attended the company's press conference to explain that the poisoning incident was purely caused by personal grudges and had nothing to do with Oak Tree."

"Have you comforted the poisoned member? Do you have any other requirements for compensation?"

"It has been properly appeased. It is very different from the last compensation plan. There are still a few people left who are communicating and it will be resolved soon."

"Thank you for your hard work. Once this matter is settled, I will give you a few days off and come to Caogou Village to relax."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hongbing raised his eyebrows when he saw his two brothers-in-law looking at him with envy.

"What do you mean?"

"Li Ming has asked you to practice now, how about lending it to me for two days?" The second brother-in-law asked, licking his face.

The eldest brother-in-law was anxious and quickly interrupted, "What's the use of taking it? You still need Li Ming to open a supermarket, and you need to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. You might as well lend it to me. I plan to develop in the province, and we need this kind of elite soldiers." Will."

"You two should give up as soon as possible. What can I use for you after hard training?" Li Hongbing directly cut off the two people's thoughts and changed the topic, "Boss, if you are not ready to stop, why are you thinking about developing in the provincial capital? .”

"I'm not forced by you." The eldest brother-in-law looked at the two of them with a resentful expression and deliberately laughed at himself, "One opens supermarkets and stores all over the place, and the other sells vegetables and is in the news. If I don't make progress, how can I still have the face to compete with the two big bosses? Sit together.”

On the news?

Are oak vegetables in the news?

Li Hongbing was stunned for a moment, why didn't he hear Li Ming mention it.

"Did you see, it's this face that makes people want to beat him, it's so cool to throw away the shopkeeper." The second brother-in-law raised his fist bitterly, if he couldn't beat him, he would have done it long ago.

The eldest brother-in-law nodded in agreement.

"A few days ago, seven national TV stations made a special report on oak vegetables, which was also broadcast during prime time. What about oak vegetables, the soft gold among vegetables? Now the door of your company is crowded with people waving. Buyer of banknotes.”

"Why, Li Ming didn't tell you?"

Li Hongbing shook his head indifferently, "You don't need to tell me about such trivial matters, I don't care."

"Did you see that he's pretending to be shameless again?" The second brother-in-law raised his finger and pointed at his brother-in-law.

The eldest brother-in-law couldn't hold back the jealousy in his heart. He just ignored the interview on a national TV station. Could it be that the brother-in-law didn't know what it meant.

"Can we still have a pleasant chat?"

Talking means talking, laughing means laughing.

It just so happens that we have time today so that everyone can sit together and chat, each talking about future development.

The eldest brother-in-law's idea is very simple, because Li Hongbing's sudden rise has once again triggered his ambition, and he plans to try again.

Li Hongbing expressed support for this.

After all, I have connections. Xing'er's godfather is the big boss of Northern Province. He doesn't need to use it in vain. It's not that he uses it to bully the market and do evil. He only needs to reduce some unnecessary troubles at critical moments.

This is enough.

As for the second brother-in-law, it's relatively simple.

The development of the Yonghong supermarket chain has reached saturation, and it does not make much sense to continue to develop, as long as it can maintain the basic market of Northern Province.

Originally, I wanted to borrow my brother-in-law's big boat, but who knew that this big boat was equipped with rocket thrusters, so it could fly into the sky if I wasn't careful, and I couldn't see its tail.

After settling for a while, Cui Yong also figured it out.

There is endless money to be made. At present, the company has more than 100 supermarkets of various sizes, which are running well. Basically, there is no need to put too much thought into it. When my wife gives birth to the second child, she will take the child back to live in the village, just like my brother-in-law. Retire early and enjoy the slow pace of rural life.

After hearing his second brother-in-law's thoughts, Li Hongbing naturally raised his hands to support him.

The eldest brother-in-law despised the second son's hedonistic behavior, "Third son, I heard from Li Ming that the Oak Company has contracted a lot of land in the forest area and is planning to do a big job next year."

Li Hongbing nodded, feeling helpless.

"I have this plan, and you all know that I am lazy and don't want to move. I just need enough money, but I can't stand up to the people below who are very motivated. If I have to expand the industry, I have no choice but to bite the bullet."

"Okay, you can stand and talk without pain in your back." The second brother-in-law looked contemptuous.

at this time.

The cell phone on the table rang.

Li Hongbing glanced at the caller number and hurriedly answered the phone with a humble expression, "Sister Cui, calling so late, did something happen to the school? It's fine if it doesn't happen. Yanxue, Anna didn't say. Is it tomorrow? OK, OK, No problem, all right, I’ll get the animals ready.”

When I put down the phone, I saw two gossipy old men whose heads were almost touching the phone.

Li Hongbing shrugged helplessly, "I got a call from the school, saying that a student study activity will be organized tomorrow and they will come to the old house to visit the animals."

Hi!

That’s it!

Not interesting.

The two brothers-in-law curled their lips, thinking that their brother-in-law had a little secret, but after working on it for a long time, it turned out that this was the case, and they suddenly lost interest.

"Wang Hai and Sun Qiang are coming to the village to look at houses tomorrow, so they don't have time to help."

"Me too, I don't have time."

Li Hongbing had seen through the ugly faces of the two brothers-in-law. They would take advantage if there was any advantage and run away if there was no advantage. The eldest sister and the second sister had no idea how they fell in love with these two lazy guys.

"Go, go, go, I'm so angry just looking at you. You can't do anything, and you won't have anything left to eat."

The two brothers-in-law smiled at each other and walked out of the office arm-in-arm.

Study activities! !

Li Hongbing looked at the roof and felt a headache.

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the curtain of darkness and shone on every corner of the small mountain village, this quiet village began to slowly wake up.

Li Hongbing got up early and started working before dawn. The budgerigars were chirping in the yard and flying in and out from time to time, waking up the whole family. The father walked out of the house angrily and complained when he saw his younger son cleaning up the rice field.

"There was a clanging sound early in the morning, the house was being demolished, and people were not allowed to sleep."

"It's not the holiday or the New Year, and I don't see you working hard at ordinary times." The mother also expressed her dissatisfaction as she hugged the sleepy Anna. There were three pregnant women in the family, and poor sleep would affect the development of the children in the belly.

Li Hongbing wiped the sweat from his forehead, spread his hands helplessly, and looked at Anna who was yawning in his mother's arms with an unkind look.

"The school in the village is holding some kind of research activity. They want to come to our house to visit the animals. They asked Anna to notify me several days in advance."

brush!

Anna's drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and she looked at her father with wide eyes.

It seems, it seems, Teacher Cui asked herself to tell her father, but she forgot.

"Nier, are all your classmates coming?" My mother cheered up her granddaughter in her arms.

Anna nodded guiltily, trying not to look at her father who was about to go crazy, and whispered, "My classmates know they are coming to visit our house, so they all want to come."

After saying that, I remembered that I also had to participate in research activities, and informed me to meet at school at 8 o'clock.

I quickly changed my clothes, took the freshly baked steamed buns, and skipped to school.

"Anna, make a call before you come, I'll prepare a meal!" Looking at his daughter's back, Li Hongbing thought of something and quickly reminded her loudly.

Anna raised her little arms to show that she knew.

My mother dotes on her little granddaughter and doesn’t understand what study activities are. She takes it for granted that it’s just a group of children coming to play at home, just like a normal visit.

"Come here, as long as we have a few kids, our family can't even afford a meal!"

hehe! !

have a meal.

Mom, you think too simply!

Li Hongbing shook his head and smiled bitterly, and continued his busy preparations.

But fortunately, the family worked together, boiling water, washing vegetables, and there were some fruits in the orchards outside, and they were all picked, washed, and put on plates.

Woohoo! !

Dahua received the message from the budgerigar and ran home from the meadow with her brothers and sisters.

When the honey dogs heard the barking of the wolf dogs, they rushed out of the dog kennel. As little friends who grew up together, it was full of joy to meet again.

After a while, Jin Zi also received the news. He returned to the old house from the infirmary. When he entered the house, he found October and the two beast kings stuck together.

Wow!

A flock of black crows flew from the sky and landed on the old oak tree. The most handsome one among them was naturally the one with the white beak.

quack! !

The white lips fell on Li Hongbing's shoulders, shouting affectionately.

"Go to Myolie's mother, she has prepared food for you!" Li Hongbing scratched Bai Zui's chin, raised his head and scanned around. He only saw crows but not goshawks. It is estimated that the family conflict between the couple has not been resolved yet. It’s not convenient to ask at this time.

Baizui quacked twice and flapped its wings to look for Mountain Apricot.

Thumping! !

Four black spots appeared again in the sky, spreading their wide wings and hovering over the old house. There was some commotion among the budgies and crows, but the commotion soon subsided after the white beaks flew into the sky.

Four black dots circled and slowly landed.

The two Eagle Owl brothers arrived with their wives. Since they settled in the vegetable field, they have had plenty of food. The feathers that the four Eagle Owls eat are shiny and shiny, each one shining with a metallic luster, and their body size has increased several times as if they were inflated.

Especially the two owl brothers, both standing almost one meter tall, look very majestic.

The mouth is curved and sharp like a sickle, and the cute appearance no longer exists. The big, round eyes are like burning torches, sharp and hot. Even the eight-character step that was once ridiculed is full of majesty and power.

Gu Gu Gu Gu! !

The two owl brothers walked up to Li Hongbing and screamed happily.

"If I don't call you, and I won't go home to see if it's okay, you all have no conscience!" Li Hongbing was very happy with the changes in the two eagle owl brothers. He recalled that when he picked them up, they were still chicks with neither feathers fully grown. Baby, time goes by and we are all grown up.

Gu Gu! !

The Eagle Owl brothers shook their heads and explained eagerly, saying that they had to protect the vegetable plot every day and could not leave.

"You're just kidding. I know you are sensible and obedient, so go find Xing'er's mother." Li Hongbing remembered the task he had given the Eagle Owl brothers to protect the vegetable fields from being destroyed by wild animals. Uncle Fu also mentioned that the two brothers fulfilled their responsibilities and worked hard every day. You can see them in vegetable patches.

at this time.

The sun shines on the old oak tree, and the mountain apricot is tightly surrounded by happiness, and is crowded with animals returning from the outside.

Wolf dog, honey dog, white beak, walking owl, gold, meerkat group, little golden monkey, bear cub, little leopard

They had many misfortunes, including being abandoned, having their parents killed, being injured, and being imprisoned. They came to the old house in panic and confusion, and were reborn under Shan Xing's motherly care.

When he grew up, he left home and found his own way, but when he returned to Shanxing, he was still the same little baby waiting to be fed.

Li Hongbing saw this warm and harmonious picture.

There is a feeling that Shanxing is more like a druid than herself. She always treats animals with love.

"Tsk tsk, San'er, you have so many animals at home, they have everything!" The second brother-in-law appeared out of nowhere and came close to him with an envious look on his face.

Is this called too much?

If there wasn't enough space to stay in the rice field, there would still be a group of big guys in the meadow who hadn't been called.

Black Horn, Black Wind, Bull Demon King, Calf, Dogs and animals adopted from the zoo.

Li Hongbing squinted his eyes, "Why haven't you left yet? Didn't you say you were going to the new yard?"

"Leave now, thank you for your hard work!" The second brother-in-law chuckled. The old house must be very busy today. If you don't leave, your mother will catch you.

"Get out!" Li Hongbing raised the broom in his hand angrily.

The Li family's old house is in full swing.

The playground of Caogou Village Primary School.

The children participating in the study activities arrived one after another. Sister Cui and three supporting teachers organized the students according to their classes and called them to line up.

Research is an unfamiliar word to the children in Caogou Village.

At that time, the children's faces were full of excitement and excitement for the group activities.

The little one sucked back the snot flowing out of his nostrils and asked curiously, "Little aunt, what is studying? Are you going to Master Tiezhu's house to learn grinding?"

Anna looked like a little adult, holding her hands behind her back.

"Research is research and study. When I came out from home, Lao Li had already called all the animals back, including the white mouths. I will open your eyes later."

"What, Bai Zui is back too!" There was a blood feud between Tiedan and Bai Zui. Although Li Hongbing resolved it, the tragedy of Bai Zui making trouble for him every day during those days is still vivid in his mind.

"Yes, not only Baizui, but also Migouzi and Da Mao Ermao are all back!" Anna nodded.

As soon as I heard that all the animals raised by my grandfather went home.

The children on the playground cheered, eager to start now.

The supporting teacher who organized the team shouted towards Anna.

"You guys, please stop talking and get ready to take pictures. We are about to set off."
