While sleeping, Ma Defu suddenly felt someone patting his cheek. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was his father.
"Defu, come with me."
After leaving these words, Li Jie turned around and left the room.
Now there are a total of five underground houses and two houses with mud walls in the resettlement site. These two houses were built by Li Jie. Every villager present here is an out-and-out poor person. Only Li Jie can afford it.
Pay money to build a house.
Due to the short time, the entire house has not been completed. So far, only two houses and a kitchen have been built, and the rest are still being worked on.
However, even so, Li Jie is the only family with an independent house in the resettlement site. The other immigrants are still living in underground houses. After the initial construction period, they are thinking of going to nearby farms or towns to do odd jobs.
, earn some money to build a house.
After a while, Ma Defu walked out of the room with his coat on. The temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi Desert is huge, and the temperature difference between morning and night can reach dozens of degrees. As soon as he walked out of the door, Ma Defu was agitated. Stimulated by the cold air outside, his mind went crazy.
The sleepiness in my mind immediately dissipated.
Looking around, Ma Defu soon saw his father's figure. He saw his father standing with his hands behind his hands, as if he was looking up at the sky. Subconsciously, Ma Defu also looked up. The stars were shining brightly, and a Milky Way stretched across the night.
Ma Defu has seen this kind of scenery since he was a child, and he doesn't find it surprising.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and Ma Defu tightened the coat on his chest unconsciously.
At this moment, Li Jie turned his head and glanced at his cheap son, and whispered.
"Defu, are you confused about why you have so much money to marry a wife, buy a tractor, and build a house?"
Ma Defu hesitated for a while and hesitated.
"Well...it's a bit."
Li Jie did not answer his confusion directly, but changed the topic and said:
"So how do you feel about your life now?"
"good."
Ma Defu hesitated for a moment and nodded muffledly.
"Then do you think your father will do anything illegal?"
When Ma Defu heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Won't!"
"Well, I'm relieved then."
After saying this, Li Jie waved to his cheap son.
"come over."
Ma Defu walked up to his father in a few steps, and immediately saw Li Jie pointing at the newly cultivated farmland not far away.
"See there?"
Ma Defu said in a loud voice: "I saw it."
"Sooner or later this place will turn into a golden beach."
As he spoke, Li Jie paused and continued.
"Defu, you should go back to the village after a while and tell them about the situation here. The village is too poor. There is no hope and no future if you stay there. You have to remember that you are not just a national cadre.
, you are also a child of Yongquan Village."
"Do you know what the word Yongquan in Yongquan Village means?"
Ma Defu replied in an uncertain tone: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water?"
"Yes."
Next, Li Jie told Ma Defu the story of the Ma family's ancestors. During the Republic of China, the Ma family's ancestors traveled to many places to avoid war, and finally came to the Xihaigu area. At that time, the Xihaigu area was still very poor.
Being poor means there is no oil and water to squeeze out, and most of the areas here are mountainous areas. Although the location of Liupan Mountain is very important, if you control Guyuan, you can control Wuyuan on the left, Lanhui on the right, and Huangliu around the north.
Kongtong blocks the south, but Guyuan is a county town after all.
In the vast mountainous areas outside the county, except for the necessary passes, most of the remaining areas are a tasteless and useless area that is a pity to abandon.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Ma family fled all the way to the mountains. However, when no one had enough food and clothing, almost no village was willing to accept a group of people with foreign surnames.
The reasons for not accepting it are also very simple. Firstly, they cannot make a living, and secondly, they are afraid that people with foreign surnames will overwhelm them.
In the end, after wandering for many places, the ancestors of the Li family in Lijia Village accepted them, and Lijia Village became Yongquan Village.
When he heard this strange past event, Ma Defu couldn't help but remember the word "Yongquan" in Yongquan Village even more deeply.
Just when Ma Defu was about to express his emotion, his father's conversation changed again.
"Defu, have you thought about the future?"
Faced with this problem, Ma Defu was immediately confused and had no idea what kind of medicine his father was selling in his gourd.
"What's next?"
Looking at his confused son, Li Jie sighed secretly.
This kid is still too young, and all he can do now is immerse himself in hard work. Originally, Li Jie was going to mention Ma Defu, but seeing his silly look, he took back what he said.
‘That’s okay.’
‘Isn’t Ma Defu’s charm derived from his ‘foolishness’?’
'If we really train him to be a smooth and considerate person, I'm afraid he will lose his original intention.'
After thinking for a while, Li Jie finally gave up some of his ideas.
Perhaps, maintaining the status quo is also a good choice.
At work, he was transferred to the government as he wished and became the first cadre of the Ma family in generations, a serious one.
Emotionally, he and Shui Hua got engaged some time ago. In half a year, he and Shui Hua will get married. The two of them will no longer have to forget each other like in the original drama.
As for the family, the shortage has been eliminated, houses have been built, and life has improved visibly.
Anyway, as long as Ma Defu doesn't feel bitter, it doesn't count as bitter. Compared with the original work, today's Ma Defu can be said to be full of happiness.
"It's okay. You're lucky. You are the first cadre from our Ma family, so you have to work hard and don't embarrass Yongquan Village, and don't embarrass our ancestors of the Ma family."
Although he didn't know why the topic suddenly reached this point, Ma Defu still assured him seriously.
"Well first of all, do a good job!"
Although he saw the doubts in Cheap's son's heart, Li Jie did not give him a chance to answer. He waved his hand and gave instructions.
"Okay, it's getting late. You have to get up early and go back to the district tomorrow. Go to bed early."
"Uh, okay."
When Ma Defu heard this, he unconsciously started to walk back, but when he started taking steps, he paused and turned around to ask.
"Dad, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Um, I'll be there in a minute."
…
…
The next morning, Ma Defu didn't have time to have breakfast, so he grabbed two corn buns and left the resettlement site.
On the way back, Ma Defu always felt that there was something in his father's words last night, but he failed to understand anything. After thinking about it, Ma Defu felt that he was too stupid and failed to understand the profound meaning of his father's words.
'If Shui Hua was present, she would definitely understand it, right?'
