The old man held a torch and looked at Kong Xiaohong in the car with dancing eyes. Seeing this scene, Kong Xiaohong quickly opened the car door and walked quickly towards the old man.
Her voice was trembling: "Grandma Jiang, it's so late, what are you doing?"
The heart skipped a beat without warning.
Grandma Jiang handed the torch to Shazhu aside and held Kong Xiaohong's hand with both hands.
"Child, why did you leave without saying goodbye? It's not safe to leave so late at night!"
When Kong Xiaohong heard this, tears streamed down his eyes, and his eyes turned red: "Grandma Jiang, I, I am afraid of this kind of parting scene!"
Like a child.
Grandma Jiang smiled: "Grandma knows that you have been promoted, and also knows that you can't make the decision in this matter, so I won't make it difficult for you. However, if you are allowed to leave hungry like this, the villagers will be uneasy!"
Kong Xiaohong quickly said, "Grandma Jiang, I'm not hungry!"
But his head has been lowered a lot.
Grandma Jiang looked at Kong Xiaohong kindly and shook her head slightly: "Let's go, we are not stopping you from leaving. Go to eat and leave after you are full."
People on both sides also persuaded: "Yes, County Magistrate, let's eat before we leave!"
The voice was pleading.
Kong Xiaohong knew that he could not leave at this time.
He knew that the villagers couldn't bear to leave him!
Nodding with tears in his eyes: "Okay, I'm obedient!" ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ
After speaking, he looked at the simple faces of the villagers on both sides holding torches as street lights. The torches illuminated the dim streets brightly, and Kong Xiaohong was deeply moved by each individual figure.
"Let's go eat."
The driver, Xiao Liu, got out of the car silently and followed Kong Xiaohong.
The torch in front led to a house.
This was the first house that everyone built together after the disaster in Songping County, and Kong Xiaohong was deeply impressed.
Grandma Jiang held Kong Xiaohong's hand, fearing that Kong Xiaohong would leave.
Silly Zhu opened the door and the room was brightly lit.
When Kong Xiaohong saw the scene in front of him, the tears that had just stopped flowed down again uncontrollably.
He thought he was already a tough guy, no longer the student kid living under the wings of his brother-in-law and sister. However, after seeing this scene, he realized that he was not a tough guy.
He couldn't help but use force with his hands.
Grandma Jiang took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away Kong Xiaohong's tears as if she were treating her own child.
Yes, Kong Xiaohong is their relative.
During this period of time, this young county magistrate had already conquered all the people in Songping County.
They all regard Kong Xiaohong as their relative.
The common people are the most simple people, and they will be grateful to anyone who treats them well.
A girl on the side handed Kong Xiaohong a pair of chopsticks and looked at Kong Xiaohong with a smile: "County Magistrate, don't cry! It's time to eat."
The gentle voice is refreshing.
Kong Xiaohong took the chopsticks with red eyes and walked towards the table step by step.
A table, not a table.
Instead, there are tables one after another, formed into a rectangle, and the dishes are not one dish.
But a whole hundred dishes.
Even after Kong Xiaohong stayed in Songping for a long time, he knew that these hundred dishes were not cooked by one person.
It was done by the villagers together.
The raw materials are also provided by each company.
In the past, only people who were loved by people, or people who were respected by everyone in Songping, would be treated like this.
On paper, this ceremony should not have happened for decades.
Kong Xiaohong knows that this is not a dish, but a portion of love.
A respect that is ingrained in one’s bones.
This is also the greatest recognition of his past work.
Picking up the bowl with his left hand, Kong Xiaohong tasted each dish from beginning to end. His heart was moved every time he ate each dish.
Walk step by step.
There was meat and vegetables, and the craftsmanship couldn't be better, but the taste was indeed the most delicious meal Kong Xiaohong had ever eaten in his life.
Halfway through, the girl walked behind Kong Xiaohong again.
"County Magistrate, this is our Songping wine. It has been hidden for twenty years. Even the flood has not touched it. Please try it."
Kong Xiaohong said with red eyes: "Okay, let me try it!"
The voice was a bit harsh.
He had tried his best to control it. He knew that he couldn't cry because Songping had a rule and he couldn't cry while eating.
Kong Xiaohong drank it all in one gulp. It was very soft in his mouth. This was the best wine he had ever drunk in his life.
Every time Kong Xiaohong ate a dish, the girl would follow him and whisper how the dish was made.
Who made it, and who used it.
The chirping is as clear as a lark.
The eyes of the villagers followed Kong Xiaohong step by step.
However, all feasts in the world come to an end. Kong Xiaohong drank the last bowl of wine and finished the last bite of food!
He said in a hard voice: "Thank you, folks!"
Bow to the end!
"me......"
I wanted to say goodbye, but then I left. I couldn't say anything.
He even had an urge not to leave.
But, that's not realistic.
Grandma Jiang smiled and walked to Kong Xiaohong's side: "Child, let's go, otherwise it will be really late!"
"It's dark and the roads are slippery. Pay attention to safety and remember... to go home often!"
Kong Xiaohong's nose felt sour.
He nodded fiercely: "Yes, Songping is my home too! It's a home we built together brick by brick!"
Gone, really gone this time.
Kong Xiaohong got into the car without hesitation. It wasn't that he was heartless, but that his patience was about to reach its limit. If he didn't leave, his tear ducts would explode.
The roar of the car was so loud in the silent night. Xiao Liu asked: "County Magistrate, are you leaving?"
The scene just now shocked him.
This is an unforgettable scene.
Kong Xiaohong nodded fiercely: "Let's go!"
The car moved slowly, and the torch behind it was also moving.
Kong Xiaohong looked back from time to time, knowing that it was the villagers who were sending him off on his last journey.
But then Kong Xiaohong cruelly stopped looking, but the bright torch kept burning. There was only a crackling sound of burning in the entire night sky, and red lights lit up.
Although Kong Xiaohong stopped watching, he felt extremely at ease. He had fulfilled his promise to his brother-in-law by serving as an official and benefiting the whole country.
It also suits my own conscience.
However, those bright candlelights, whether Kong Xiaohong looks at them or not, are there, those bright lights that guide people home!
It is also the most sincere thing that the impoverished Songping County can come up with.
The driver, Xiao Liu, also heard the crying, which was getting louder and louder. He did not laugh at it, but only expressed deep admiration!
.....The section about the disaster has finally come to an end, and a new book has been released. My father forced me to be a bandit. If you are interested, you can read it. The story before and after the disaster is very frightening. It is precisely because of this section that the book It’s almost gone and has been closed for more than a month. Don't worry, it won't end badly. Update slowly and there will be a perfect ending!
