On the occasion of Gao Hongfei and Liu Dazhu's daughter-in-law, Liu Dazhu came over with a few bowls of water.

The bowl was also a little worn, and there were some black things on it, as if it hadn't been washed, which made Fan Xiaoli want to gag.

Gao Hongfei smiled and thanked him, picked up the bowl and drank it in one go, and at the end he wiped his mouth and said with a smile that the water of the mountain spring is delicious.

After all, Fan Xiaoli is a child in the city, and all she has seen before are glamorous city people, even if she came to Hongshan Town to teach, knowing that the people here are poor, she didn't expect that poverty would be so much, and for the first time she felt that her mission was so heavy.

Look at Gao Hongfei again, he doesn't dislike the unwashed dishes at all, he behaves approachably, and shares weal and woe with these people, this is what an official should look like.

Liu Dazhu rummaged through the cabinets and took out two plates of melon seeds and peanuts and put them on the kang, all of which they planted last year.

Gao Hongfei praised it as a good thing while eating, but in fact, Fan Xiaoli saw that some peanuts were already moldy.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that she had reacquainted herself with Gao Hongfei, and she had seen many officials, but no one was like Gao Hongfei, who went deep into the lives of ordinary people and observed the people's feelings.

Even Fan Xiaoli didn't know that somewhere in her heart was touched.

"Dazhu, Director Gao and Teacher Fan are here this time for the sake of Mao Ye's child. Liu Fugui said straight to the point.

Liu Dazhu didn't seem to be surprised at all, just smoking a dry cigarette with a snap, and his brows were furrowed.

"It's not that I said you, Dazhu, Mao Ye, this child I watched grow up, smart and well-behaved, filial and hardworking, such a good child, you can't delay the child's life because of your own selfishness, let's hurry up and let her come back to continue school. Liu Fugui said earnestly.

Liu Dazhu didn't say a word, just smoked a dry cigarette.

"Yes, Uncle Dazhu, Mao Ye's academic performance is very good, as long as she keeps studying, she will definitely be able to be admitted to a good university in the future and get out of the poor ravine, I don't think you want her to stay in the poor ravine for the rest of her life, get married in her teens, and work hard for her livelihood all her life." Gao Hongfei also persuaded him.

Hearing Gao Hongfei speak, Liu Dazhu knocked the cigarette pot on the shabby dirty cloth shoes, knocked off the cigarette ash, and then probed and said: " Director Gao, I understand your intentions, and I also know that you are for the good of Mao Ye, but you also know the situation of our family, the wife is sick in bed, and she has to buy medicine every month, which is already a huge expense, if you let Mao Ye study, it is another expense, to be honest, I also know that it will delay the child, but what can I do, I can only blame her for her bad life, she was not reincarnated into a big family to enjoy happiness, and she can't afford it. ”

As he spoke, Liu Dazhu's tears fell down with a snap, Liu Dazhu wiped a handful of tears, and took out a pot of tobacco in the tobacco bag and smoked it, the helplessness of poverty made this seven-foot man stiffen his body, looking so small, the helplessness of poverty made him cry like rain, even if he broke his leg back then, he didn't say a word.

Liu Dazhu's wife, who was lying on the kang, also sobbed in a low voice when she heard this.

Fan Xiaoli looked at the family, her heart was heavy, she was also infected, and wiped her tears.

Gao Hongfei's throat was dry, as if a stone was blocking his throat, and his eyes were also hot.

The room was silent, no one spoke, and no one could refute Liu Dazhu's words, only the sound of smoking and sobbing.

Fan Xiaoli was still determined before she came, and she must bring Liu Maoye back to school, but when she really saw such a family and such a living situation, she was shaken, she suddenly remembered a sentence she had heard, she had heard a lot of truths, and she still couldn't live a good life, and she understood all the truths, but in the face of reality, those big truths can't be eaten.

Maslow said that physiological needs are the first needs of people, and educational needs are only the third needs of the well-off stage.

"Uncle Dazhu, I think so, Mao Ye, this child studies well, smart and well-behaved, I also like it very much, I really don't want her to give up her studies, she will live like this for the rest of her life, I will pay Mao Ye's tuition in the future, and I will provide her with school, not only to go to middle school, but also to college, until she joins the work, so do you think it will work?" After a long silence, Gao Hongfei said.

Gao Hongfei didn't say this on a whim, in fact, he had this idea before he came.

"I can't help it, how can I let Director Gao provide for her, Director Gao is a good person, our family is very grateful to you, but we must not let you provide for her to go to school, Mao Ye's life is not good, she was not born in a good family. ”

When Liu Dazhu heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and he resolutely disagreed, Gao Hongfei is not related to himself, although he is a good person, but to provide a person from primary school to college graduation, it is also a huge expense to accumulate for more than ten years, and no one's money falls from the sky, not to mention what a great kindness this is, he can't pay it back in his life.

"Why can't this work, Mao Ye, this child, I like it very much, I have always treated her as a sister, how can I watch her ruin her good years, you don't want to go, besides, I am also contributing to the country and cultivating talents, which should be the case in public and private. Gao Hongfei said.

No matter what Gao Hongfei says, Liu Dazhu just doesn't agree, although he is poor, he has backbone, how can his children let outsiders come to school, and he really doesn't want to owe others such a big favor and increase the burden on Gao Hongfei.

"Dazhu, don't be ignorant, Director Gao is a good official, he really wants to help you, wants to help our poor people, you should thank Director Gao, why are you still pushing back like a girl. Liu Fugui couldn't stand it anymore and scolded.

"Liu Fugui, you don't have to worry about our family's affairs. Liu Dazhu said impatiently.

"Hey, you dead lame, you have no interest in your life and can only suffer in this poor ravine, and you want to harm the child, it is rare to meet a good person like Director Gao, I think this matter is settled, no matter how bitter you are, you can't suffer the child. ”

Liu Fugui was very angry with Liu Dazhu's attitude, and directly exposed the stubborn nature of the soldiers.

"Anyway, I don't agree with this......"

"Old man, don't be stubborn, it's me who dragged down this family, it would be good if I died earlier, the senior cadre is a good person, he is the great benefactor of our family, and when Maoye will have a future in the future, he must repay the senior cadres for a lifetime as a cow and a horse, you will agree, if you don't agree, I will die now, the province will drag you and our poor Maoye, Maoye, this child has a hard life, why was he born in our family." ”

Liu Dazhu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Dazhu's wife.

"You stinky mother-in-law, what are you talking about......" When Liu Dazhu heard his wife say this, he lost his temper and could only smoke without saying a word.

"Gao cadre, I agreed to this for our family Lao Liu, Mao Ye will be entrusted to you, your great kindness, our family will never forget, Mao Ye's life is hard, but also lucky, to meet such a good person as Gao Cadre, let her be a cow and a horse for the rest of her life to repay you." Liu Dazhu's wife said with a handful of snot and tears.
