【207】Conversation

"Where is the village chief?" Wu Daguang asked in confusion if he couldn't find the village chief.

A villager started to cheer: "Miss Chief, let us Director Wu take a look."

After saying this, the fat man who was cooking poked out a head: "Say it again, believe it or not, I will open your head for you."

These are all jokes.

After waiting for about half an hour, the table started. Before the table started, Zhang Baosun, the head of the village, held a bowl.

"Today, I'm just to thank Wu Daguang for helping us. If it weren't for Wu Daguang, the money we made would have been 30% less. I wouldn't say anything thankful, but I'm all in the wine anyway." The village chief raised his head and drank the big bowl of wine.

What you should do next is just like going to your own home.

There are not so many dishes in rural areas. Just to make it comfortable to eat, big fish and meat are put together, and small wine is one after another. As a guest, Wu Daguang will never give up until he is poured down.

So, in the end, Wu Daguang was unconscious and didn't know what he said or did.

When Wu Daguang woke up, he was awakened by a severe headache. There was a stubborn mind that seemed to be breaking down, and there was a sequelae of drinking.

The place where he is should be at the village chief's house. Looking at the moonlight, there is Xiao Liu next to him. There is another person next to Xiao Liu. He is sleeping on the head of the kang, and the kang under him is burning hot.

Wu Daguang didn't want to move, so he leaned up and looked at him. Looking into the air from the open window, the crescent moon hung obliquely in the air, and there were a few stars scattered around him.

The cicadas and frogs outside the house didn't feel noisy, but instead felt quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, a few willows of light winds blowing in from the window, making Wu Daguang feel very comfortable.

Looking out the window for a long time, Wu Daguang closed his eyes and continued to sleep. It took him a year to make the villagers look at him with admiration. Not only the villagers, but also in the town, he became the first to chat. It can be said that as long as he left the doorstep of his house in the town, he knew that Wu Daguang had lived as what others wanted. A sense of accomplishment satisfies his vanity.

The next morning, Wu Daguang slept until he woke up naturally, and there was no one around him. He picked up his brother and looked at the time. There was no electricity yet.

Look at the sun outside, it’s already noon.

I got up and charged my elder brother. After walking out of the house, only the village chief’s youngest son Zhang Manfu sat on the threshold playing with marbles.

"Manfu, where are the people in the family?" Wu Daguang asked.

Xiaomanfu turned his head to look at Wu Daguang: "They went down the river to fish. My mother said she would make fish soup at noon. Uncle Daguang, breakfast was in the pot."

Wu Daguang walked to the stove and took the lid of the pot. Yesterday's leftovers, Wu Daguang pulled the rice steaks into a basin, stirring them, and followed Zhang Manfu on the threshold to watch him play with marbles.

"Manfu, yes, the marbles are very good."

Zhang Manfu smiled shyly and leaked two little tiger teeth: "I'm not having a good time."

Wu Daguang pulled a mouthful of rice into his mouth: "How old is it?"

"Eight years old."

"Why don't you go to school when you are eight years old?" Wu Daguang asked.

"My father said that when I get older, I can go to school by myself, and then I will go to school."

"Do you want to go to school?"

"I think, my father said that I would study hard. In the future, I wouldn't have to dig food and eat in the yellow soil like him."

These words were said by Zhang Manfu with a smile, and they didn't seem to be said from his mouth, but they were probably heard from his parents. Although the child still didn't know what the future he said, these words made Wu Daguang feel inexplicably sad. This county is a poor county and this village is a poor village. Not to mention making money, the food every year depends on God's temper.

Zhang Manfu's clothes were a size bigger than his figure, with patches on his clothes, and his little face was darkened.

Wu Daguang took out five dollars from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Manfu: "Buy some ham sausages for uncle."

Zhang Manfu put away the marbles, took the money, and ran out of his yard.

After a while, Zhang Manfu came back, carrying a plastic bag containing ham sausage in his hand.

Just like that, one big and one small sitting on the threshold of the Zhang family, biting the ham sausage. For children, eating is the best bridge to get in touch with each other, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many traffickers who would use candy to fool the children.

Ten minutes later...

"Uncle Daguang, tell me what it looks like outside the mountain." Zhang Manfu blinked, his eyelashes were very long.

"Outside the mountains, people live in small high-rise buildings, and go out to ride in small cars. There are many people, and there are many people selling things, including marshmallows, ham sausages, and toys..."

"Where is the kindergarten of Xinghua?"

"There are many children in Xinghua's kindergarten. They teach and play games together. Xinghua has made many friends."

"It's so good outside, I want to go out and have a look." Xiao Manfu's eyes were full of hope.

Wu Daguang touched Zhang Manfu's head: "What about you, you must study hard so that you can walk out of the mountains and see the outside world in the future."

Zhang Manfu nodded heavily: "I will definitely go and see it."

"You can definitely." Wu Daguang said affirmatively, the child needs encouragement.

"Well... Uncle Daguang, can I go and see the apricot blossoms during the Chinese New Year? I want to see what the county town looks like now."

"Yes, I'll wait until the Chinese New Year, I'll pick you up to go to the county town for a few days."

During the chat between big and small, a few people who caught fish came back. Zhang Baoshuan heard Wu Daguang's last words: "Don't take what the child says seriously. This child still wants to eat swan meat, so he has to eat it."

Wu Daguang stood up and said, "Why don't you call me when you catch fish?"

"Brother Guang, you slept so hard, how could we wake up?" Xiao Liu said with a smile.

The village chief is a good person, otherwise Wu Daguang would not have handed over the village chief's position to Zhang Baosun at the beginning. Zhang Baosun and Wang Kun are the same type of people. Without a person, they will do their own things in detail. Such people have to put them on the fire and know that they are hot, so they will be forced to do something.

While my sister-in-law was cooking lunch, Wu Daguang pulled the village chief to sit in the yard and chatted, and chatted about Zhang Manfu's schooling.

"I don't want him to go to school, Daguang, you know how long it will take for our village to go to the town. I'm not at ease to leave such a big child by myself. Several children in the village who are older than him. They can go out to play together and can still play. How can I feel at ease? I'll let my child go to school after two years. When I become sensible, I know that I'll learn."

"No matter how you can't delay your child's future. I'm asking me to tell you that parents who have children go to school will join together and discuss one day to send their children to school. No matter how old the child is, it will be a child. In recent years, there have been many rumors that children have been kidnapped by human traffickers. I'm not afraid of 10,000, but I'm afraid of what if." Wu Daguang said.
