Chapter 332

Meng Huo soon decided on the new cartoon, but he didn't do it immediately.

During the period before the Chinese new year, he and several assistants focused on their work, finishing all the serial comics in the next few weeks, and the manuscript could last for one month. Several assistants got a long holiday, they can enjoy the holiday in this month, and Meng Huo was also liberated. At the same time, on New Year's Eve, he returned to Qingcheng by high-speed rail.

After two years of not returning to this small county, Meng Huo got off the bus to breathe fresh air, and many passengers walked down from him. There are dozens of people. Although Qingcheng is only a small city with hundreds of thousands of people, on New Year's Eve, people all over China are busy going home.

Out of the station, a lot of cars were parked in the small square in front of him. When Meng Huo walked to the bus, a young man with glasses suddenly came to him.

"Excuse me, are you teacher He Xi?"

The young man asked abruptly. Meng Huo was surprised. Now he put on his hat and scarf and only showed half his face. He didn't expect to be recognized.

"Who are you?"

He frowned slightly, but his whereabouts were leaked.

"Ah, it's really you..." the young man's face beamed with joy. Then he bent slightly and handed over a business card: "I'm Yang long from the County Government Secretariat. Mr. He Xi, I'm here to meet you."

Meng Huo, the County Government Secretariat, understood that this guy was waiting for himself. However, the car he took was known in advance by the county government, and someone must have told them. But that person would not be Li Qin. Most of them were his grandparents, or they told several uncles, and then they spread it to the county government.

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

"Teacher He Xi, go back to Li village directly?"

After getting on the bus, unexpectedly, Yang long said this.

"Are you looking for me?" Meng Huo said in surprise.

"Yes, teacher He Xi is the pride of Qingcheng. Our county magistrate wants to meet you." Yang long said with a smile: "but today's Day is special. The county magistrate said don't disturb you and your family for the new year. Tomorrow I'll pick you up and meet him again, so... Now teacher He Xi just says where he wants to go."

"Then go back to Li village first!"

Meng Huo nodded, and his attitude toward the county government gushed out some favor.

Li village is Li Qin's hometown. It's not far away. Meng Huo and Yang long are chatting in the car. When they pass a section of the road, they find a little surprise. It used to be a bumpy dirt road here, but this time Meng Huo found that the roads leading to the countryside were all concrete roads.

"This road has been built at last. It has been used for many years."

Meng Huo sighed that Li Cun had been talking about road construction for many years, but the government only paid part of the money, and the rest had to be collected by the villagers. This village is not rich, and the original dirt road can also be used. Some people feel that there is no need to build concrete roads, and the cost of road construction has not been able to be collected smoothly.

He remembers that it will be several years in his last life until the original road is dilapidated before the new road can be built. He did not expect that the world would be ahead of time.

"The road was ordered to be built by the county government last year." Yang long took a look at the smooth road and said with a smile, "we thought teacher He Xi would come back last year. We wanted to give you a surprise."

pleasantly surprised? This sentence made Meng Huo stunned. The road was built by the government!? And to surprise him!? He frowned slightly. He had to pay for something. The Qingcheng county government obviously wanted to get along with him. He didn't know what he would ask for in the end.

"I don't think it's a big attempt, is it?"

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

"It's worthy of Teacher He Xi. He is mature and steady. He doesn't look like a high school student at all."

He knew that Meng Huo had found out the intention of the government, but he didn't worry much. Qingcheng county government attached great importance to Meng Huo, but he didn't mean it was difficult for him.

Qingcheng is a small county in the mainland. It is not well-known and its economic development is relatively backward. However, now the high-speed railway has achieved full coverage in China. From the aspect of transportation, every county has the potential to make the economy take off rapidly. Now the competition in the city is fierce, and the proportion of transportation factors has declined, the key development factor is advertising.Let others pay attention to you and let others know about this place. As long as the reputation is known and the transportation is convenient, Qingcheng county can attract businessmen to invest and develop. In the eyes of Qingcheng county government, "cartoonist He Xi" is a gold lettered signboard and a key mining object.

He Xi is the idol of young people. He Xi and the cartoon have great influence. If he can make an advertisement for Qingcheng, or even just describe the city in the cartoon, millions of people will see it, which is more effective than the county government's huge investment in advertising. If He Xi invests in Qingcheng county to build a factory, he will create many jobs.

"This opportunity is rare, we must serve the little ancestor well..." Yang long thought, if these two days let Meng Huo happy, let him agree to the county magistrate's request. Yang long will also make a political contribution. Even if he doesn't do anything, the leaders will look at him with new eyes.

"Teacher He Xi, if only he could raise more requirements. Let me show my ability. If he could praise me in front of the county magistrate, my promotion would not be a dream..."

Yang Long's heart was very hot. Unfortunately, Meng Huo didn't know what the young man thought. When he arrived at Li village, He immediately said "goodbye" to Yang long, whose eyes were shining with the light of "give me something to help me." then he walked into the village in the other party's astonished eyes.

On New Year's Eve, the village is very busy. Every family is full of people. Some women bathe their children in the sun. They all saw Meng Huo and looked at him carrying two bags of things. They were a little surprised.

"Who is that?"

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

"Who's relatives coming to visit for the Spring Festival?"

Meng Huo had a good ear for these women's whispered comments. He heard them, but he didn't know these people at all, so he didn't say anything and soon went to his grandmother's house. But when he arrived, he once suspected that he was dazzled. His grandmother's house had been renovated. The ground was concrete, and the walls had been repainted and turned white.

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

Meng Huo thought bitterly, but soon shook his head. How could the county government make such an obvious biased action? Most of the money was paid by Li Qin.

"Mom is really..."

Meng Huo was a little helpless. He asked Li Qin to give gifts and money to his grandparents every Spring Festival. Each time, he paid 1000 Chinese dollars. The number is not large, but it should be very bad for the whole village of Qingcheng county. The old couple have several sons who are filial to each other, and Meng Huo is not good at giving too many, which makes his uncles lose face.

However, he gave Li Qin a lot of money. Li Qin always lived frugally, saying that he wanted to save money for Meng Huocheng's family. Meng Huo wanted her to learn to live a better life, and set an obligation for her to spend at least 60000 yuan a year. In Ninghai, the concept of 60000 yuan is regarded as the most common consumption. Li Qin did it. Meng Huo was a little happy, but when he went home, it seemed that something was wrong

"She took all the money back to her hometown."

No wonder when he returned to Ninghai, he found that nothing had changed in his home, the furniture was the same, and there was no increase. In Ninghai, Li Qin doesn't spend money at all. Apart from buying vegetables and eating, she occasionally goes out with other neighbors to buy clothes and go shopping. She never does anything else. Moreover, over the years, Li Qin's clothes have not increased to ten. When she goes shopping, she just doesn't buy them. She also grows vegetables in the yard

Ah, by the way, when she and Shen Jie are together, she will be more generous in shopping. However, Shen Jie also has income now, so her consumption is very small. If you think about it carefully, Li Qin has little money to spend every month except for water and electricity. Does she give all her money to her relatives in her hometown?

"It's so simple, mom..."

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

"Grandparents, mom, I'm back!"

His voice caused a sensation in the room. When Meng Huo walked in, he saw a room full of people, including several uncles and aunts, including the children. When he came back, a group of people were very excited. They served tea and poured water, just like Meng Huo was the master.

"Meng Huo, we are waiting for you!"

"Sit here, I haven't seen you for several years. Let my aunt see how much you have grown up..."

"Last time my uncle went to see you, why didn't you be 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 District? Is it true... "

Meng Huo was surrounded by a roomful of people. When Meng Huo came home the year before last, he didn't get this kind of battle. He was a little flattered. However, in the past two years, he was more good at dealing with others, so he soon became friends with these relatives with a smile.However, what he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. After he came back, the whole village was in a stir. People kept coming to join in the fun. In the end, the old house couldn't be crowded. Meng Huo had to sit outside and make a fool of the elders and relatives who came to see him but hardly contacted him.

He felt that it was more tiring than work. He had listened to Xu Jing's advice and brought his assistant.

Because sometimes, it's really hard for him to deal with, such as

"Meng Huo, do you remember my stupid son? When I was a child, I used to play with you. This kid didn't go on studying in junior high school. Now he works in Xiangjiang's factory. He gets up early every day and is greedy for the dark. He's hard and tired. He doesn't have much money... Ah, does your company recruit people? Will you take the child in? He has nothing else. He must have a lot of strength! "

An elder wants Meng Huo to find a job for his son. Meng Huo takes a look at the well-dressed boy. He is indeed his childhood playmate, but he is not a playmate.

"Auntie, we're a cartoon company. We don't need strength."

Meng Huo said euphemistically.

"Comic company, comic does not need physical strength? Security guard, security guard must be OK! "

There are many other people who want to find a job. Many people come out to ask about it, and the young generation are staring at him. Meng Huo has no way to deal with these people. When he can't hold on, Li Qin finally comes out to help. She turns down all the requests for a job with a black face.

All day long, Li Qin, like an eagle, stood by Meng Huo's side, persuading all the people who were in trouble for him to go away. It can be said that he had a black face. Meng Huo is very moved. Li Qin's feelings for the village are much deeper than him, but she would rather be spoken ill behind the scenes than protect herself. Meng Huo hasn't realized this feeling for a long time.

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

"What are you talking about?" Li Qin blushed: "I'm your mother, these things should be done, and... You should hate those children."

Her eyes are dim. Today, she will go out to help Meng Huo because she knows that Meng Huo doesn't like her peers.

This matter began a long time ago. When Meng Huo was born, Li Qin wanted to raise him in the countryside. Although there would inevitably be a lot of gossip, the pressure of raising children in the countryside would not be too great. But to Li Qin's surprise, all the people in the village are surnamed Li, only Meng Huo is surnamed Meng. All the children don't play with him, and even isolate and bully him.

"Wild child" - this is the nickname that Li Qin often hears. When Meng Huo was born, he was a very optimistic child, but when he knew something, he was discriminated against and became silent.

Li Qin always felt that it was her fault, so she took her son to the county. She took all kinds of odd jobs and brought him up. She just didn't want him to be bullied by other children.

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

Meng Huo loosened his hand, squatted on the ground and said with a smile, "without them, I couldn't have become what I am now."

Since his last life, Meng Huo has been thinking that he was so introverted and cowardly, maybe because he listened to the gossip around him when he was young, but now he doesn't hate those people at all. It is 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 succeed in any way, but she is undoubtedly the best in her duty as a mother.

"Well, Ma, you go to have a rest. I'll do it!"

"No! Don't make trouble, you child. Get out of the way. Your hand still has to draw. What if you hurt it? "

"It's just a bowl washing. How can it be so exaggerated..."

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