Iron Bull Legend

"That's what I thought. However, this wine is really good. I drank so much and I didn't feel drunk at all. Can I bring some for grandpa and the others when I go back?" Li Xiaocao tilted her little face.

"Why not? When we go back, we should stop at the bar in the market and buy some more and ask them to send them back by car. We can't bring them on the plane, otherwise, something bad will happen. It's no different from a time bomb." Tie Niu laughed, knowing that the grandfather Li Xiaocao was talking about was Mr. Guo and Lao Huazi.

He also felt sorry for this silly daughter-in-law who drank so hard. It would surely not take long before the news of her first time drinking would spread throughout the small mountain village. She would also integrate with the people in the small mountain village and be accepted by everyone. This was what Tie Niu was very willing to see. This was what people in the mountains were like.

There are not many entertainment activities in the small mountain village. If something happens in one family, it will spread quickly within eight or ten minutes. This is the tradition of the small mountain village and a way for the small mountain village to entertain itself. Everyone is used to it. The gossips of the Zhang and Li families are the things that the old ladies talk about most.

People would comment on whose child wet the kang, whose child got into trouble and was beaten, whose cow gave birth to a calf, whose puppy bit someone else for fun. If Li Xiaocao, the daughter-in-law who had not yet married, had such a terrible thing happen to her, it would be described by everyone.

I don't know what kind of expression Li Xiaocao would have if he knew that this matter was passed on by word of mouth. However, none of this mattered, because Li Xiaocao had already become interested. After knowing the benefits of the Northeastern pure sorghum liquor, he frequently raised his glass with everyone, and his generous nature was revealed.

Tie Niu slapped his forehead helplessly, he estimated that this silly wife would fall down in no time, but he would not stop her. After all, she was very happy. Even Irina and Anfei were happily drinking with everyone, which made the villagers look at them differently.

Commander Zhang and Old Man Xu were not much better off. Several prestigious villagers accompanied them in drinking and eating meat, which made them very happy and made them feel like they were young again. Tie Niu was not afraid that anything would happen to them. Although the old men looked very old, they were in good health and stronger than the average young men.

The meal lasted until nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and then everyone went home to sleep with the help of their families. The small mountain village today was no different from the wedding of a daughter-in-law at home. Other families in the small mountain village were also so lively and happy.

Li Xiaocao, Irina and An Fei'er were sent back to the kang in the east room by Tie Niu and fell asleep before the banquet was over. The aunt looked at the girls and could only shake her head and smile bitterly, because even if they were sold now, they would be unconscious.

Charles Long was not much better off. He slipped out from under the table earlier than the other three and was sent to Aunt Jin's big house to sleep. This was the first time Tie Niu saw Charles Long being killed without any defense.

If such delicious food and wine did not have such an effect, it would be a real shame for the sincerity of all the villagers in the small mountain village, and even more so, the villagers' sincerity in welcoming Tie Niu's return.

Tie Niu was thinking about how to give a big gift to his fellow villagers. After all, he was not the kind of ungrateful person, nor was he the kind of person who would demolish the bridge after crossing it or smash the pot after having a full stomach. So, Tie Niu began to think.

Tie Niu returned to the room and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw the girls sleeping in indecent positions. However, he did not stay for long and walked out of the room and came to Aunt Jin's yard. The courtyard wall had been demolished long ago in order to facilitate more interactions between the two families.

"Aunt, the village spent a lot of money on today's lunch arrangement. I wanted to compensate our village. What do you think is the best way to do it? Should we give money directly or do something for the village?" At this time, Tie Niu still wanted his aunt to solve this matter with the local people's thinking.

"Tie Niu, you know your aunt well. This is what I think about our village. It's not that I look down on the people in our mountain village just because I have moved to the city in recent years. They still lack long-term vision on some things. You should think more about the villagers in this regard, and let them embark on a path of sustainable development. Let the future generations of the village remember that today's prosperity is hard-won, and let everyone rely on their own hands to do things. Now, the greenhouse is no longer suitable here. It's okay to grow some vegetables for our own use. You should realize this, right?" Aunt Jin didn't say what to do specifically.

"Well, what Auntie said is very correct. We have made a lot of money by growing herbs in recent years. However, this cannot be a long-term solution. Also, this is where I was born and raised, and I don't want to destroy the environment here. So, I want to build this place into a factory that can feed all the people, and directly process the grown herbs into medicine. I wonder if Auntie agrees?"

"You have a good idea. As long as your funds allow, you can build a pharmaceutical factory. The men and women will have a livelihood. Even children who don't want to leave the mountains can have a way to survive. Auntie agrees."

"Since Aunt has no objection, I will start working on this matter. I will have a good night's sleep and go to pay my respects early tomorrow morning. Do you have any objection?" Tie Niu asked Aunt Jin for her opinion. He came back and realized that some old principles are only known by older people, who are familiar with the procedures for handling certain matters.

Going up the mountain to pay homage is a big deal. For the mountain people living in a small mountain village, it is like whether a child returning from a long journey should visit his grandfather or father first. There must be a sequence of respect for the elderly and the young. This is the rule, and it has been the rule for the mountain people for hundreds of years. Otherwise, it would be immature.

What's more, the main reason why Tie Niu came back this time is that if he wants to come back in the future, it's not impossible. However, coming back is not something he can do. He has to bring his family with him. Now, it's better if he doesn't have children. It will be more inconvenient if he has children in the future.

"I see, you speak more logically than I do. You just take charge of the arrangements for this matter. As for Commander Zhang and the others, I will discuss with the villagers in the afternoon and arrange a few places for them to rest. How come they all followed us here?" Aunt Jin was thinking about arranging these things, and Tie Niu didn't even think about it.

"Well, auntie, let me go with you and see whose house is suitable for us to stay at?"

"Okay, go talk to those old men. Do you still need to take care of such a small matter? Go and serve those old men. In the future, they will be able to take care of you. It's really a shame for them to come back to pay their respects this time." Aunt Jin didn't know their true intentions.

"Okay then, Auntie, you just have to pay more attention. By the way, take this money and discuss with Uncle Jianhua. We have a helicopter here to buy some things outside the mountain. When you come back, you must invite everyone and make everyone happy." Tie Niu put a stack of cash in Aunt Jin's hand.

"How can we use so much? You can take it back first. I have some here too. Spend it first. I'll ask you for more when it's gone. You're making such a big fuss, as if we were having a three-day and three-night feast."

"Aunt, it is true that I have returned home in glory, so I thought of holding a big banquet for a few days so that all the villagers can gather together and have a good meal. This will also help me get rid of a worry. In the future, I will not be able to come back often. Once school starts, I will be so busy that I will have no chance to get away."

"Okay, let's do as you think. You are a kind-hearted child. Everyone will be happy to hear it."

Tie Niu put a stack of money in a bag for Aunt Jin to hold, and then he walked into the house. These people were indeed the old elites in the alcohol battle, and they were gathered together chatting. In fact, to be clear about it made them feel uneasy until now, and they had not received Tie Niu's definite answer.

"Why don't you old men go to bed early while there is still time? You still have a big battle tonight. You don't know the customs of our small mountain village. Guests from afar must drink some wine. How can you not be in good condition? Isn't this weakening the rules of our small mountain village?" Tie Niu chuckled evilly.

"You have married a good wife. She is protecting you even before the wedding. If you are really married, she will definitely spoil you like a treasure. Are you okay, little girl?" Commander Zhang smiled, his nature as an old fox was expressed vividly. Who asked him to ask for help?

"Haha, this is the secret of love for us young people. By the way, I'm going to tell you some serious business first. Otherwise, I believe that you won't be able to sleep well, and I won't be at peace either, right?"

"You kid, hehe, I just like your energy, you do things quickly and efficiently without any drag. Okay, then I'll take a nap first." Commander Zhang was happy this time, he had taken a reassurance pill, and just like Tie Niu said, he could sleep well without having to think about anything.

"Starting this year, I will give each military region 500 million. I will not be responsible if you spend too much. If you spend too little, the rest is yours and I will not interfere. But, I have a condition that you must agree to." Tie Niu stopped here, deliberately keeping the question in suspense.

"You little brat, if you have something to say, just say it now. We have all drunk so much liquor, and we are just forcing ourselves to do it. We just want to ask you for your definite answer. It's really like you said, we are feeling uneasy."

"Yes, Chief of Staff Tie, just speak frankly. As long as it does not violate discipline, we will definitely not fight back. We are all family. Why are you hiding something from us?" Commander Liang Yunfei also echoed anxiously.

The other old men were also staring at Tie Niu's eyes, as if Tie Niu, a piece of Tang Monk's flesh, had suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. They were eagerly waiting for Tie Niu's definite answer. Now, if anyone had the courage to come and make trouble, these old men would probably pull out their guns and shoot him.

"It's like this. I just need some people. No matter if they have skills or special talents, just arrange some for me. I can even pay for your training in advance. I think it won't be a problem for you all, right?" After Tie Niu finished speaking, he saw that even Grandpa Xu had tears in his eyes.

This is not a condition at all; this is clearly giving them money, and 500 million at a time, without any bias, without any distinction based on closeness or distance. Also, this is the condition, not a condition; this is helping them solve their problems.
