During the period before the Chinese New Year, he and a few assistants focused on their work, finishing all the serialized comics for the next few weeks, and the manuscripts lasted more than a month. Several assistants got a long vacation. They can enjoy the vacation as much as possible this month. Menghuo was also liberated. At the same time, he was relieved. On New Year's Eve, he took the high-speed rail back to Qingcheng.

After two years of not returning to this small county town, Meng Huo breathed fresh air with some nostalgia after getting off the bus, and there were many passengers walking down from him. There are dozens of people. Although Qingcheng is only a small city with hundreds of thousands of people, people from all over China are busy returning home on New Year's Eve.

Walking out of the station, there were many cars parked in the small square in front of him. When Meng Huo walked to the bus, a young man with glasses suddenly walked up to him.

"Um, sorry...Excuse me, are you Teacher He Xi?"

The young man asked abruptly, and Meng Huo was taken aback. Now he was wearing a hat and scarf, only half of his face was exposed, but he didn't expect to be recognized.

"who are you?"

He frowned slightly, unexpectedly leaking his whereabouts.

"Ah, it's really you..." The young man's face was filled with joy, then he bent slightly and handed a business card: "I'm Yang Long from the county government secretariat, Mr. He Xi, I'm here to pick you up. ."

The county government secretariat-Meng Huo understood in his heart that this guy was waiting for him deliberately. However, the car he was riding in could be known in advance by the county government, and someone must have told them. But that person would not be Li Qin, most of it was his grandpa and grandmother, or the grandpa and grandmother told a few uncles, and then it was passed to the county government.

The county government would send someone to pick him up on New Year's Eve, and Meng Huo was a little confused. Why is the government looking for him? After confirming the authenticity of the business card, Meng Huo pondered for a while, and finally got into the government's public car with Yang Long. Although he wanted to refuse, he was obviously too stupid to offend others directly. Since the county government is looking for him. He had better take a look first.

"Ms. He Xi directly go back to Li Village?"

After getting in the car, it was unexpected. Yang Long said this sentence.

"Aren't you looking for something to do with me?" Meng Huo said in surprise.

"Yes, Teacher He Xi is the pride of our Qingcheng. Our county magistrate wants to see you." Yang Long smiled: "But today is a special day. The county magistrate said not to disturb you and your family during the New Year. I will go back tomorrow. I will pick you up and meet him, so...now Teacher He Xi can just say where he wants to go."

"Then go back to Li Village first!"

Meng Huo nodded. He had some good feelings about the county government's attitude.

Li Cun is Li Qin's hometown. It is not far away. Meng Huo and Yang Long were chatting in the car. When passing a section of road, he found a little surprise. There used to be a bumpy dirt road here. However, this time Meng Huo discovered that the roads leading to the countryside were all cement roads.

"This road has finally been repaired. It has been used for many years."

Meng Huo sighed. Li Cun said that he had been talking about building roads for many years, but the government only paid part of it. The rest will be gathered by the villagers. The village is not rich, and the original dirt road can still be used. Some people feel that there is no need to build a concrete road, and the cost of road repair has never been able to collect smoothly.

He remembered a few years in his previous life, and the new road could only be repaired when the original road was dilapidated. He didn't expect the world to advance.

"This road was repaired by the county government last year." Yang Long looked at the smooth road and said with a smile: "We thought that Teacher Why would be back last year and wanted to give you a surprise."

Surprise? This sentence gave Meng Huo a stunned, this road was repaired by the government! ? And it was to surprise him! ? He frowned slightly. Whatever you pay, you must have a plan. The Qingcheng County government's actions are clearly trying to match him. He doesn't know what demands he will make in the end.

"There shouldn't be any big attempts, right?"

Meng Huo secretly thought about the purpose of the government, while Yang Long was also observing Meng Huo, nodding secretly in his heart.

"It's a teacher He Xi, mature and stable, not like a high school student at all."

He knew that Meng Huo had discovered the government's intentions, but he was not very worried. The Qingcheng County government valued Meng Huo very much, but he didn't mean to embarrass him.

This matter starts with the positioning of Qingcheng County itself. Qingcheng is a small county in the interior, with a low reputation and relatively backward economic development. However, the high-speed rail is now fully covered in China. In terms of transportation, each county has the potential to make the economy take off quickly. Nowadays, after the city's competition is fierce and the proportion of transportation factors has declined, the key development element is now advertising.

Let others notice you, let others know about this place. As long as the reputation and transportation are convenient, Qingcheng County will be able to attract investment and development from businesses. In the eyes of the Qingcheng County Government, ‘cartoonist, what cherish’ is a golden sign and a key target for mining.

He Xi is the idol of young people. He and the comics are both very influential. If he can make an advertisement for Qingcheng, or even just describe the city in comics, millions of people will see it. It is more effective than the county government spending huge sums of money on advertising investment. Moreover, He Xi has strong financial resources. If he invests and builds a factory in Qingcheng County, he can also create a lot of jobs.

"This opportunity is rare. We must take care of this little ancestor..." Yang Long thought, if these two days make Meng Huo happy, let him agree to the county governor's request. Then Yang Long will also have a political credit, even if he does nothing, the leaders will look at him with admiration.

"He Xi, if you ask me more, let me show my abilities. If he can compliment me in front of the county magistrate... my promotion is not a dream..."

Yang Long was hot in his heart, but unfortunately Meng Huo didn’t know the young man’s thoughts. After arriving in Li Village, he immediately exuded his eyes, and said, ‘Goodbye’ to the shining Yang Long who had something to do with me. Then he walked into the village in the stunned eyes of the other party.

On New Year's Eve, the village is very lively, every household is full of people, and some women bathe their children in the sun. They all saw Meng Huo, and they were a little stunned when they saw him carrying two bags.

"Who is that?"

"Wearing a hat and a scarf. I don't see it, but I'm very young. I shouldn't be from the village..."

"Whose relatives come to visit for the New Year's Eve?"

These women talked quietly. Meng Huo's ears are very good. He heard it, but he was not familiar with these people. So he didn't say anything, and soon walked to his grandmother's house. But when he arrived, he suspected that he was dazzled, and the grandmother's house had been renovated. The ground is concrete, and the walls have been repainted and become snow white.

"Does the county government even want to help this matter?"

Meng Huo thought a little bit painful, but soon shook his head. How could the county government make such an obvious biased action? Most of the money came from Li Qin.

"Mom is really..."

Meng Huo was a little helpless. He asked Li Qin to give gifts and money to his grandparents every Chinese New Year. One thousand Chinese currency each time. The number is not large, but in the entire village of Qingcheng County, it should be very against the sky. The old couple has a few sons to respect, and Meng Huo is not good to give too much to lose face to the uncles.

But he gave Li Qin a lot of money. Li Qin always saves money, saying that he wants to save the money for Meng Huo's family. Meng Huo wants her to learn to live a better life and imposes an obligation to spend at least 60,000 yuan a year. The concept of 60,000 yuan is considered an extremely ordinary consumption in Ninghai. Li Qin did it. Meng Huo was a little happy at first, but when he went home, it seemed that something was wrong...

"She has taken the money back to her hometown!"

Meng Huo couldn't laugh or cry, no wonder when he returned to Ninghai, he found that nothing had changed in his home, and the furniture was the same as before, and no increase. Li Qin didn't spend money at all in Ninghai. Apart from buying vegetables and eating, she occasionally went out to buy clothes and go shopping with other neighbors, and she had never done anything else. And over the years, Li Qin's clothes haven't increased to ten. She just can't buy them when she goes shopping. Vegetables are grown in the yard...

Ah, by the way, when she and Shen Jie are together, she will be more generous in shopping. However, Shen Jie now has income, so the consumption is very small. Thinking carefully, Li Qin basically has nothing to spend every month except for utility bills. Does she give the money to relatives in her hometown?

"It's too simple, Mom..."

Meng Huo felt distressed, but he took off his scarf and walked in with a smile.

"Grandpa and grandma, Mom, I'm back!"

His voice caused a sensation in the room. When Meng Huo walked in, he saw people crowded in the room. Several uncles and aunts, including children, were all here. Seeing him coming back, a group of people was very excited. Now, serving tea and pouring water is like Meng Huo is the master.

"Meng Huo, we are waiting for you!"

"Sit down here. I haven't seen you for several years. Let auntie see how old you are..."

"The last time Uncle visited your house, why were you not at home?"

"Old man, Meng Huo is a big man now, he is very busy, how can you be so free!"

"Yes, Meng Huo, I heard that you became the president of a company in the Far East? Is it true..."

People in a room surrounded Meng Huo and asked for warmth. When Meng Huo went home the year before, he was a little flattered. However, he is more adept at dealing with others in the past two years. Now he is better at dealing with others, so he soon With a smile and these relatives become one.

However, what he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. Knowing that after he came back, the whole village was a sensation, and people kept coming to join in the fun. In the end, the old house couldn't be crowded with people, and Meng Huo had to sit outside, and Those elder relatives who came to see him but barely had any contact with him smashed.

He felt that this was a more tiring task than work-he had already followed Xu Jing's advice and brought his assistant over.

Because sometimes, he is really difficult to deal with, such as this...

"Meng Huo, do you remember my stupid son? The one you used to play with when you was a child, this kid didn't go to junior high school. Now he works in a factory on the other side of Xiangjiang. He wakes up early and is greedy, bitter and tired. Not much money yet... Oh, is your company recruiting people? Can you bring this kid in? He doesn't have anything else, he must have a lot of strength!"

An elder wanted Meng Huo to find a job for his son. Meng Huo glanced at the well-dressed boy. He was indeed his childhood playmate, but not a good playmate.

"Auntie, we are a comic company, so we don't have to work hard."

Meng Huo said softly.

"Manga company, comics don't require physical strength? Security, security is sure to do!"

The elders are stalking, and there are many other people looking for jobs. Many people come out to ask about this, and the younger generation stares at him shiningly. Meng Huo was the most inconsistent with these people. When he was almost unable to hold on, Li Qin came out to help in the end, and she refused all requests for work with a stern face.

For a whole day, Li Qin guarded Meng Huo like an eagle, and persuaded everyone who was embarrassed by him. Meng Huo was very moved. Li Qin's feelings for the village were much deeper than him, but she would rather be ill-spoken behind the scenes to protect herself. This feeling has not been realized by Meng Huo for a long time.

"Mom..." After dinner, when the guests left one after another and calmed down again, Meng Huo walked to the kitchen and bent over Li Qin, who was squatting on the floor to wash the dishes: "Thank you today."

"What are you talking about!" Li Qin's face was reddened: "I am your mother, these things should be done, and...you should hate those kids very much."

Her eye game is dim, and she will go out to help Meng Huo today because she knows that Meng Huo doesn't like those of her age.

This matter should start from a long time ago. After the birth of Menghuo, Li Qin wanted to raise him in the country. Although there will inevitably be a lot of gossip, the pressure of raising children in the country will not be too great. But to Li Qin's surprise, everyone in the whole village had the surname Li, and only Meng Huo had the surname Meng. All the children did not play with him, and even isolated him and bullied him.

"Wild Child"-this is the nickname Li Qin often hears. When Meng Huo was just born, he was a very cheerful and optimistic child, but when he learned about things, he was discriminated against and he became reticent. .

Li Qin always felt that it was her fault~www.NovelMTL.com~ So she took her son to the county town, doing odd jobs, and raising him up after all kinds of hardships, but she didn’t want him to be another one. Child bullying.

"It's all small things, I don't hate them anymore."

Meng Huo let go and squatted on the ground with a smile: "Without them, I wouldn't be what I am now."

Since his last life, Meng Huo has been thinking that he is so introverted and cowardly, perhaps because he heard too many gossips around him when he was young, but he does not hate those people at all. It is precisely because of these experiences that Meng Huo understands Li. Qin's love for him. He wants to return this love to Li Qin. She may not be successful in any aspect, but she is undoubtedly the best in the role of mother.

"Okay, Mom, you go and rest, I can wash it!"

"No! Don't mess with you kid, get out of the way, you still have to paint, what if you hurt it!"

"It's just washing the dishes, how can it be so exaggerated..."

On New Year's Eve in 2017, Meng Huo also had a very happy time in the countryside.
