Back home, Zhao Ziyi took Gu Fulan's hand and asked her kindly how she had been in the past few years.
Gu Fulan grinned, "I'm doing well. The children at home are all grown up and we have a lot of leisure time. The third child has married a daughter-in-law again. I can wake up laughing at night."
Seeing that Gu Fulan was really happy, Zhao Ziyi felt relieved. He looked around and asked, "Is the second wife not at home?"
Hearing this, Gu Fulan forced a smile and said, "The couple can't survive and are getting divorced."
Zhao Ziyi was speechless, and Gu Fulan laughed dryly, "I'm telling you a joke."
Zhao Ziyi waved his hand, "It's okay."
Lu Yao brought tea, "County Magistrate, drink tea. This is the Xinyang Maojian I brought from my hometown. How do you like it?"
Zhao Ziyi quickly took it, took a sip from the teacup, and nodded approvingly, "Not bad, not bad, delicious."
Lu Yao: "Then you and my mother have a nice chat, and I'll cook for you. Is there anything you particularly like?"
"I can do it all. I can eat steamed buns and sweet potatoes. You don't have to make them specially for me."
Lu Yao did not really let the county magistrate eat steamed buns and sweet potatoes, but instead made simple home-cooked dishes, twice-cooked pork and boiled beef.
Seeing the plates of dishes being served, Zhao Ziyi said with a straight face and an unhappy expression, "What are you doing? Life is so difficult and you have cooked so many good dishes. You are sincerely making my conscience uneasy!"
Lu Yao smiled, "County Magistrate, these are leftovers from the New Year. If you don't eat them, they will go bad. Besides, you have helped us a lot today. It would be wrong if I didn't serve you some good food." I’ll feel sorry for myself.”
Gu Fulan also helped, "Yes, Lao San killed the pig to share the meat with others. It doesn't cost anything. Even if you don't come today, we still have to eat it."
After the two of them said this, Zhao Ziyi sat down.
Others also sat down, Gu Fulan and Duan Mingjie sat on either side of Zhao Ziyi, Lu Yao sat next to Duan Mingjie, and the two children followed Duan Mingcheng.
Zhao Ziyi was reluctant to eat meat, so he soaked the steamed buns in the beef soup and ate them. It turned out to be surprisingly delicious.
He looked at Lu Yao and said, "Lu Zhiqing, how did you make this dish? It's very delicious."
Lu Yao curled her lips, "This is boiled beef. The preparation is very simple..."
Lu Yao told him how to make it, and then took a pair of serving chopsticks and gave him a piece of beef. "County magistrate, just eat it. Don't make the buns all the time. This beef is particularly delicious. Try it."
In the end, Zhao Ziyi couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and ate a piece of beef.
Taste buds are instantly satisfied.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll tell my mother-in-law when I get home and let her do it."
Lu Yao continued, "Then I will write down the steps for you later."
"Okay, okay."
During the meal, Zhao Ziyi looked at Duan Zhiwei and Duan Yanyan lovingly, "This is Minghua's child, right? She has grown so big in the blink of an eye. When I came here a few years ago, my little niece couldn't walk yet."
With that said, Zhao Ziyi looked at Gu Fulan, "Aunt, how are the two children doing with their studies? Have you sent them to school?"
Gu Fulan grinned proudly, "I got in and studied very well. Both of them ranked first in their grade."
Zhao Ziyi nodded happily and said to the brother and sister Duan Zhiwei, "Children, your father and grandfather are heroes. You must study hard and become the pillars of the country in the future and contribute to the great rejuvenation of our country. Your father is watching in the sky. When you arrive, you will feel relieved.”
The word father has always been in other people's mouths, but the two children have never seen him.
But they all know that their father is a beloved hero.
Duan Zhiwei clenched his fists and nodded heavily, "I want to study hard. My aunt said that as long as I study well, I can go to heaven in the future! I want to contribute to our country's aerospace industry and become the greatest person." , I will never embarrass my father!"
Zhao Ziyi was shocked by Duan Zhiwei's heroic words, "Okay, Zhiwei, I believe you!"
As he said that, Zhao Ziyi looked at Lu Yao with appreciative eyes, "It seems that having an educated city dweller in the family is different, and the children will also be affected."
Lu Yao was a little embarrassed, "I just teach casually. The main thing is to compete with the two children."
The county magistrate shook his head in disapproval, "If you hadn't said that, the whole village wouldn't be able to pick anyone who knows aerospace. Moreover, it's really good that you can guide children to have their own goals. Auntie, these two children are friends." To my third daughter-in-law, you can rest assured that you will have a great future!"
Gu Fulan's face was proud, but he still said modestly, "The children are still young and can't tell much. If they can really make a difference and contribute to the country, it will be thanks to the county magistrate's golden words. I can be considered worthy of their parents." ”
As he said this, Gu Fulan's eyes became sore and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at anyone.
Zhao Ziyi felt uncomfortable, and Lu Yao blinked, knowing that this was not the time to be sensational, so she said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate, I will treat my eldest brother's children as my own biological children, take good care of them, and raise them." Become a talented person."
Gu Fulan choked and said, "Okay, okay!"
Gu Fulan also knew that he had lost his composure, so he forced a smile and started talking and laughing again.
After eating, Zhao Ziyi talked to the two children for a while, and then called Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao into the yard.
"Tell me, what's going on with your family and the branch secretary?"
Duan Rong would not wear small shoes for them for no reason, there must be a reason.
Lu Yao looked at Duan Mingjie and wondered whether to tell the truth.
"If you don't tell me, I will go door to door and ask." Zhao Ziyi frowned. He had been in a high position for many years, so why couldn't he see the couple's concerns.
"Your eldest brother asked me to take care of you before he died. After retiring, I worked hard in the county and finally took office two years ago. I have been really busy in the past few years. I have been too busy to take care of you. I am sorry for you. Brother, now that you have been wronged, you are unwilling to tell me."
The last time I came here was the year Duan Minghua died. Duan Mingjie was eighteen or nineteen years old at that time. He proposed to assign his brothers a job in the county or let Duan Mingjie be the party secretary of Duanjia Village, but neither brother was willing and said they were unwilling. Step on the bones of my father and eldest brother for my own benefit, otherwise I will be uneasy for the rest of my life.
This family is very particular about people. Although he felt sorry for them, he also respected them. Before leaving, he told Duan Rong that he would take good care of their family. He was afraid that Duan Rong felt that he had no power and did not take his words to heart. superior.
Zhao Ziyi had already said this, and if he concealed it any further, it would be wrong of them.
Duan Mingjie frowned and told the whole story.
