The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chi Le Chuan Commune.

In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed.

Seeing the familiar buildings, even though they were covered in snow, Li Feng could still remember them clearly, for example, the road the jeep was currently running on.

I remember that Uncle Hadanbaatar waved the whip in his hand, drove the carriage, and took himself to the veterinary station to see his lame leg.

"The commune is in the yard in front where you turn into it~!"

When the driver didn't know where to park, Li Feng pointed his finger at a building not far away. That yard was the place where they were attacked by wolves at night.

Wisps of green smoke were rising from the nearby yurts. Those were the girls from the grassland, burning horse manure to make hot lunches for the young and old at home in the winter.

The sound of the jeep's engine made the people in the yurt curious and push open the door. The children in their small cotton coats came out from under the adults' armpits through the cracks in the door.

When they saw the jeep, they looked around curiously. Children of this age had never even been out of the grassland, so they simply chased after the incoming vehicle and joined in the fun.

Four years ago, the driver drove here in person, and today, he is here again.

It was time for dinner in the commune, but when they heard the sound of vehicle horns outside, the commune cadres curiously put down their bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the room.

Over the years, the commune has not changed much. No matter how turbulent the outside world is, it seems that it has no impact on the stability and unity of the grassland people.

"Is it the leader of the Left Banner who has come down?"

"That shouldn't be the case. It's snowing and you're still here~!"

Looking at the small jeep driving in from the gate, the cadres pointed and talked, and the leader of the commune also had a look of confusion on his face.

After all, I didn’t call in advance to inform them, so I was a little confused for a moment.

As soon as the car stopped, Li Feng couldn't wait to get out, mainly because he saw the familiar uncle.

Hadanbaatar.

Li Feng, who got off the car, was the first to look at him. The uncle might not have recognized him, but the young man who got off the car kept his eyes on him with a frown. After a slight delay of a few seconds, he raised his finger in disbelief.

"Uncle Hadanbaatar~!"

"You, you are the one from Beijing, Li Feng~!"

The change in expression from contemplation to recollection and finally to recognition is obvious.

When the truck driver came to his mind, the uncle immediately strode forward, stretched out his right hand, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Ah, it's you. I, I, I'm so sorry, I almost didn't recognize you. May God bless you, Eagle of the grassland, I'm glad you're back again~!"

After a handshake and a warm hug, Uncle Hadanbaatar was so happy that he held Li Feng's hand tightly and would not let go. After not seeing him for several years, the wrinkles on his face had become deeper.

"It's okay, uncle. I haven't seen you for years. I hope everyone in the commune is doing well~!"

Maybe many people have forgotten that dangerous night four years ago, but Li Feng has not forgotten it. To be honest, he fought side by side with the uncle.

"Okay, okay, everyone is fine, the children are fine too, thank goodness for the food that was delivered~!"

The enthusiastic uncle invited Li Feng into the commune's house and introduced Li Feng to colleagues in the commune whom he did not know.

"Gacha, this is Li Feng who came from the capital. It was he who brought us the much-needed food so that our calves could survive. I really didn't expect that we would see each other again today~!" In the stove in the commune, dried animal manure was burning. The cold wind was howling outside, but the house was warm and not smelly at all. There was even a hint of grass.

Li Feng shook hands with those people one by one, and finally, he shook hands with the first secretary of the Chi Lechuan Commune, who was also the gacha.

"Are you the truck driver and the young man who saved the pregnant woman with Hadanbaatar?"

Compared to the thick Mongolian robes worn by others, Gacha's attire looked more like that of a formal cadre. His cheekbones had the dark red color unique to grassland people, and he hadn't shaved his beard for a long time.

"Yes, and thank you Caoyuan for sending the meat to our factory. Even though four years have passed, many of our comrades in the factory still remember it clearly!"

During the three difficult years, people had to pinch their teeth to get food coupons, not to mention meat. The meat that was taken back during that meal is still fresh in the memory of many people in the factory.

"Sit down, sit down, you're welcome. Coming back to our grassland is like returning home. We are all family and friends~!"

The Gacha, who was in his forties, looked a little sloppy, but like the uncle, he was very warm and enthusiastic. He pulled Li Feng to the stove, the warmest place, and asked him to sit down.

Li Feng has experienced the enthusiasm of the grassland people. The kumis is just like the homemade rice wine in the countryside. It has a low alcohol content and can make even a donkey drunk, let alone a person.

"Uncle, you don't have to be polite. We are all friends. I am on a business trip to the neighboring city of Wulan this time, so I took the time to come and see you all. To be honest, I miss you all so much~!"

Putting his hands by the stove, Li Feng warmed himself by the fire while greeting everyone jovially. Although the grassland people's Mandarin had a somewhat strange tone, communication was still no problem.

"Oh~, Jining, right? That's not close to us. It's snowing, and it's very tiring to come here~!"

Uncle Hadanbaatar sat next to Li Feng, listening to Li Feng talking and nodding happily, just like an elder looking at a younger person. The two people met because of fate and trust.

People in the grassland are still accustomed to calling Wulan Jining. Li Feng made a special trip of more than 200 kilometers to come here, which touched the uncle very much.

"It's not hard. It's someone else's car. It has nothing to do with me~!"

Li Feng smiled and waved his hand. When he first came here, there was no snow on the grassland, so it was much easier to walk on than it is now. He drove all the way here and remembered that he even took a nap in the car on the way.

"You're not driving in the factory now?"

The uncle was also a little confused. Li Feng was indeed not driving the car. The one driving was another young man, a soldier. The uncle could still tell this clearly. As for Li Feng, now that he was wearing a military uniform, he was a little confused.

"It's rarely opened. Now I'm a cadre in the factory. Our factory has been transformed into an arsenal for the army~!"

Seeing the confusion in the uncle's eyes when he looked at his clothes, Li Feng gave a brief explanation but did not go into too much detail.

"Good people will be rewarded. You are a kind-hearted person and will be a good cadre~!"

The young man in front of him had a promising future. The uncle was very happy for him and patted Li Feng on the shoulder with his big hand. He had no idea that the young man in front of him had already become a factory director.

"Thank you for the compliment, uncle. The truth is, I came here for another good thing. I have a deep relationship with the grassland, so I'm going to do this good thing while I'm here~!"

Rubbing the shoulder that the uncle had patted, Li Feng did not intend to keep the secret. His fellow countrymen from the grassland had raised so many children from the inland areas without asking for anything in return, so he was not reluctant to build the first school here.

"Good thing, you can just say it directly, as long as we can do it~!"

"Haha, uncle, don't worry. This is what happened. I have a neighbor in Beijing who has no children. Now she is in poor health and wants to do something good. She gave me the money she saved and wanted me to help her build a school."

"It's about 4,000 yuan. She gave it to me personally. It was her last wish. I came here this time to discuss with you whether this school can be built in Chi Le Chuan, so that the young eagles on the grassland can have a warm classroom~!" (End of this chapter)
