"Mother, I see two figures at the gate of the courtyard."

inside the house.

Zhao Jianguo sat in the main seat. In front of him was the delicious dish that Li Ping and Lin Jingshu had worked hard on for more than two hours to prepare. Next to him was a wine cup that Lin Jingshu had just filled.

During the meal, as long as Zhao Jianguo and his son's wine glasses were empty.

Lin Jingshu would then put down her chopsticks and fill their glasses, and would not forget to use her soft voice to remind the father and son to drink less.

Is this what it feels like to be controlled by a "little cotton-padded jacket"?

You know what, it’s better than giving birth to a stupid boy!

Zhao Jianguo happily sipped his wine, stretched his neck, and glanced out the window a few times to make sure that there were indeed two figures outside the yard and it was not just an illusion caused by his excessive drinking.

"Mother, go out and have a look, maybe someone from the village is here to find you for something."

"You saw it wrong!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Ping, who was still sitting next to Lin Jingshu with a smile on her face, said it in a decisive tone without even looking at him.

"It's New Year's Day and it's snowing, who can find someone?"

"Besides, if someone has something to do, why doesn't he come inside? Why would he just stand there like an idiot at the door?"

"I'm telling you, even if someone comes to you for some trivial matter, you should wait until after the New Year!"

"This girl Jingshu comes to our house for the first time. No one should disturb our family of three and enjoy a happy New Year together!"

"."

After a moment, Zhao Weihong slowly raised his hand and spoke weakly.

"Shouldn't it be a family of four?"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's none of your business!"

"profound"

Zhao Weihong took a big gulp of wine in disappointment and felt that something was wrong.

I was picked up from outside!

But when he looked at his parents who were all smiling, and then at Lin Jingshu who was no longer embarrassed, and was also smiling, with his head slightly tilted, looking at him silently.

Zhao Weihong suddenly felt a long-lost sense of security in her heart.

This is not only the warmth brought by family affection, but also a rare relaxation after unloading the burden.

Although she didn't drink much, Zhao Weihong felt like she was a little drunk.

But he still raised his glass and gestured to Zhao Jianguo.

"Dad, let's have another drink!"

Maybe because he drank too quickly, Zhao Weihong suddenly started coughing violently after drinking the wine.

Before Zhao Jianguo and his wife could react, Lin Jingshu rushed forward with an anxious look on his face, patting them on the back and handing them water. The worry in his heart turned into tightly furrowed wrinkles between his brows, which Zhao Jianguo and his wife saw clearly.

The couple looked at each other, their eyes full of joy and recognition that Lin Jingshu was not just their daughter-in-law, but their "own daughter".

In the eyes of the couple, Zhao Weihong was not the rising star in the army who was already capable of standing on his own, but the foolish son who was reckless and had a little cleverness but was prone to impulsiveness and getting into trouble.

Now that they have such a thoughtful girl who can take care of Zhao Weihong, they can spend the rest of their lives together in the future.

Zhao Jianguo and his wife can now rest assured.

As for the figure outside the door.
who cares!
Zhao Jianguo thought that what his wife said was right.

It's so cold today. If something really happened, why wouldn't you go inside?
I must have seen it wrong!

With a flash of thought in his mind, Zhao Jianguo raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp towards his son, a man who was far better than himself and the pride of his life.

After a brief interlude, the family of four and the family of three began to clink glasses again, mixed with laughter that occasionally spread outside the house and floated into the clouds, it was a scene of happy reunion.

But Zhao Jianguo probably would never have thought of this in his dreams.

Outside the gate of his house which had just been renovated, there really were people standing in the snow, performing a modern version of "Standing in the Snow Outside Master Cheng's Door", and there was more than one person!

"County Magistrate, we have been waiting for almost half an hour."

"I arrived later than you. How about we go up and knock on the door and go in to rest?"

The village head looked at the snowflakes in the sky that were getting bigger and bigger and flying faster and faster, and felt that his feet had lost all feeling. He shuddered uncontrollably and hurriedly gave a few words of advice to the county head who was standing next to him like a wooden sculpture.

In the past, seeing such heavy snow, this village chief, who was originally a farmer, would have laughed out loud.

Auspicious snow means a good harvest.

It’s a rare occasion for Longxi to experience such a heavy snowfall, so there will definitely be a bumper harvest next year!

But if it were him who was suffering from the cold in the snow, the village chief would not be able to laugh!
After standing at the door for so long, the village chief also heard some noises coming from the house. He could be sure that Zhao Weihong, the "legend" who walked out of Zhaojia Village, had returned home.

The county magistrate standing by also knew this.

But this did not end the fate of the township head freezing in the snow, because the county head, who had been waiting at the door for nearly an hour, insisted on waiting until Zhao Weihong and her family finished their meal before entering to disturb them. This really put the township head in a terrible situation!
He, the county magistrate, refused to go in, so how could the township headman possibly bypass him and get in?
As for turning around and leaving, that is even more impossible!
The county magistrate is still freezing here, what will happen if you leave?

For a moment, the village head, who had been trudging in the snow for a long time, fell into an awkward situation where he could neither advance nor retreat. In the end, he could only close his eyes, accept his fate, and accompany the county head in the cold at the door of Zhao Weihong's house.

"Do not."

Under the increasingly desperate gaze of the township head, the county head, whose head and shoulders were covered with a layer of snow, shook his head slightly, causing countless snowflakes to fall from the brim of his hat.

"Comrade Zhao Weihong finally came back, we can't disturb his reunion with his family."

"We've been waiting for so long, it won't hurt to wait a little longer."

"This is a rare opportunity. We must let Comrade Zhao Weihong feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of his hometown!"

After saying this, the county magistrate stopped talking, curled up slightly, and turned into a mute sculpture in the wind and snow again.

Seeing this scene, the angry village chief cursed in his heart, but he could only stand at the door and freeze.

The doubts that had been bothering the village head for a long time became more and more intense in his mind with the county head's statement.

True.

Zhao Weihong is the most accomplished figure in Zhaojia Village and even in Lantian County over the past decade or even decades.

It is no exaggeration to describe him as the "local pride" and no matter how courteous the locals treat him, it is not excessive.

But this kind of courtesy should not be reflected in things like "enduring the cold"!
After all, he is a county magistrate, a person that Zhao Weihong, as an ordinary student, could only look up to.

No matter how much you recognize Zhao Weihong's current achievements, you shouldn't let her stand outside in the cold weather, right?
But what the village chief didn't know was that Zhao Weihong treated him with courtesy.

As long as he could get a chance to communicate normally with Zhao Weihong, the county magistrate would be willing to stand outside for a few more hours!
After personally presenting Zhao Weihong with a plaque of "Family of First-Class Meritorious Contributors" last time, the former acting county magistrate, now the county magistrate, felt that Zhao Weihong should be "silent" for a while.

After all, Zhao Weihong has already obtained the plaques of "First Class Meritorious Family" and "Second Class Meritorious Family", which are considered the highest achievements of ordinary soldiers.

In the future, even if Zhao Weihong wins first-class merit or second-class merit, he will not receive more plaques.

The county magistrate believed that he would not have any dealings with Zhao Weihong in the short term.

Besides, first-class merit and second-class merit are not cabbages grown in the fields. How can Zhao Weihong just take them?
But the county magistrate never expected this!
A little over a year later, not long after the word "acting" in front of his position was removed, Zhao Weihong unexpectedly transformed himself into the military games champion!
Although the Military Games do not have as great an international influence as the Olympics.

But this was the first international sports event held in Yan Country, and Zhao Weihong also broke the world record for five kilometers in track and field, so it was naturally of extraordinary significance.

Compared with the first-class merit, it can be said that it is even better!

Not to mention that Zhao Weihong has become the "athlete image ambassador" of the Military World Games.

What exactly does this mean? The county magistrate, who has been in the political arena for half his life, knows it all too well!

At this moment, he was very glad that he had stuck to his principles and not gotten involved in Director Wang's mess.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to stand here and endure the cold!
However, this county magistrate has nothing to do with Director Wang.

But he also knew that after experiencing this kind of thing, Zhao Weihong had no sense of identity with anything in her hometown except her relatives.

The county magistrate, who was then the "acting county magistrate", had already felt this when Zhao Weihong came back last time.

If a figure like Zhao Weihong appeared in other places, he would not only become the pride of the local area, but also bring a series of benefits to the development of his hometown.

Needless to say, the policy and financial support will be great, and it may even attract a lot of investment!
But when it came to Zhao Weihong, the county magistrate suddenly realized that no matter whether it was policy or investment, they could not avoid Zhao Weihong, the person involved.

Based on Zhao Weihong's impression of the local area, Lantian County may not get a penny from these preferential policies that are standard in other regions!

For my own future, and also for the vision I had when I was young to work for the welfare of the people.

After learning the news that Zhao Weihong had returned home, the county magistrate braved the heavy snow and drove to Zhaojia Village himself. He has been guarding at the door of Zhao Weihong's house until now.

He did not seek to establish a deep friendship with Zhao Weihong.

He only hoped that Zhao Weihong would consider his "sincerity" today and allow Zhaojia Village and Lantian County to receive the preferential treatment that Zhao Weihong had personally fought for.

And he will take practical actions to make up for the mistakes that have disappointed Zhao Weihong.

The snowstorm will stop.

The laughter in the house gradually disappeared.

The county magistrate stretched his numb limbs and was about to take a look inside the yard when he heard a creak. Li Ping, with a beaming face, walked out of the house and headed towards the back of the yard.

Seeing this, the county magistrate felt that the time was almost right and quickly called out.

"sister in law!"

The words fell.

Li Ping's footsteps suddenly stopped, obviously she heard the county magistrate's call.

But Li Ping did not turn around to look towards the gate of the courtyard. Instead, after a brief pause, she continued to walk towards the back of the courtyard, muttering to herself.

"It's strange. Why do I feel like someone is calling me?"

County head, township head: "."

Why don’t you look back?
