It is easy to find Zhang Chun and Lizhi in the crowd, among a group of adults and children who are tanned by the sun, Wang Zili and Zhou Xin are relatively special people, because the chemical industry is in the laboratory most of the time, so they are quite white.

But compared with Zhang Chun and Lizhen, the two little dolls with pink makeup, it is far behind.

The figures of the two people are actually not much different from their peers, but their skin is as immature as a little doll, which directly lowers the age impression given by the two people. Zhang Chun's appearance is not outstanding, but Si Swenwen, especially when he laughs, is very infectious. His gaze is always neither humble nor arrogant, kind, giving people a natural sense of closeness. Lizhi is a delicate girl with a very bookish atmosphere, and the child is just beginning to develop, even if it is beautiful, it will be a matter of the future. But now at least there are no obvious drawbacks to be seen.

On the dock, Li Wengui was very affectionate with the children, and he felt even more like his own children and nephews for Zhang Chun and Lizhen.

But he deliberately ignored Gu Ming, who obviously had a military temperament on the side.

There is no doubt that although Li Wengui is an old literati, he has been an official for many years and has a keen feeling, which Xin Baojiu behind him also has to admire.

Even among the people who greeted Li Wengui, there were no members of the escort team, and even most of them were still in their research posts. If it weren't for Wang Zili being the vice principal, he wouldn't have appeared in the crowd that greeted him. Even if it was only elementary school students who greeted Li Wengui, the breath of long-term militarized training still made Li Wengui feel uncomfortable.

Everything here is different from the outside world, neat, orderly, and the confidence and fearlessness that everyone naturally exudes, let Li Wengui, who is accustomed to people whispering and being humble and polite, know that if this group of people really wants to do something, I am afraid that nothing can stop it.

It's no wonder that a child can call his name directly, to put it nicely, he is young and ignorant, but if he doesn't say it well, he has no respect for his elders. This is not to say that there is no respect for people among these children, but it is a respect for each other as equals. When are teachers and students equal? When are masters and slaves equal? When were landlords and mud legs equal? But in Zhangjialing, you can see it everywhere. People may have done it unintentionally, but Li Wengui saw it in his eyes one by one.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony of Meng Xuetang was decent, and Li Wengui kept smiling and obeying Xin Baojiu and Gu Ming's arrangement.

But in the end, he refused to eat with the children in the school cafeteria. He wanted to go to Zhang Chun's new home to have a look.

The road down the hill is very smooth, but the road was built with great care, and there was almost no damage to the trees on either side. Some of the destroyed mountains were also planted with trees and grasses. The ditches on both sides of the road are made of stones, and the water flows continuously.

The whole forest is full of water vapor and the plant community is well developed. There are felled trees at the forestry station on the side of the road, but there is no visible effect on the forest.

Workers at the furniture processing plant at the forestry station were working, but there was no sawdust sawdust in sight. It turned out that these were collected, squeezed and fermented into a ball, and used as a medium for shiitake mushrooms. Next to the forestry station, there are trees on both sides of the road, in the bushes, and everywhere.

The drying field of the forestry station is also full of these mountain goods. Some workers are picking and packing.

Half of these people are seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls and young men, and there are also villagers who are not young, with obvious Henan accents.

Li Wengui looked at the past all the way, and the novelty continued, but the evil feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. It's not that the development here is bad, but that this kind of change is in line with the theory of the chaotic party. Li Wengui is a native of Hunan, and he is half of Jiangnan, so he has to go back to his hometown to retire, so he pays more attention to the affairs of Jiangnan. Economic development is a good thing, but if there is an ulterior motive behind it, it is a different matter.

Li Wengui didn't understand the tone, and there was no surprise on his face, as if everything was taken for granted. But as an elder, he preached to Zhang Chun.

"Japan and Russia negotiated peace in the United States, the Russo-Japanese War finally stopped, and Japan and Russia were at war, but the places of war were in Arthur and Mukden. The Qing Empire was so weak. ”

Li Wengui said these words with a smile on his face, as if he was just talking about ancient times.

Xin Baojiu and Gu Ming both followed silently, without saying a word.

Zhang Chun couldn't say anything, so he could only listen.

"The Qing Empire was founded on agriculture and was a ceremonial state. Have friends come from afar, are you happy? But it wasn't friends, it was all robbers. What was brought was **, and what was taken away was gold and silver, silk and porcelain. Lord Lin Zexu was in the smoke of Humen, but he failed to defend the country. The gates of the country are open, there are churches everywhere, concessions everywhere, and countries within a country everywhere. A few days ago, a lesson case occurred in Hunan, and it was the Chinese people who were arrested. Promoting foreign religion, destroying etiquette, abolishing the imperial examination, and the difference between the north and the south. The imperial court is no longer the imperial court of the past, so the queen mother can only use the Boxers to fight the foreigners, but unfortunately she was defeated. ”

Xin Baojiu couldn't help but shout: "My lord." ”

Li Wengui waved his hand: "The old decay is already old, and it is nothing more than disarming and returning to the field." Don't let you say that? ”

Xin Baojiu had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Li Wengui held Zhang Chun with one hand and Lizhi with the other.

Zhang Chun felt a chill in his heart, but he couldn't help but say that Li Wengui's point of view may not be correct, but his heart of worrying about the country is the same.

"You're good here, why hasn't the road up the mountain been repaired yet?" The group had already walked to the bottom of the mountain, and the road up the mountain did not make a big move, but more than a dozen villagers picked a lot of stones on the side of the road, preparing to build steps one by one.

"It'll be fine after a while, it's not too manpowered." Zhang Chun didn't want to explain either.

"yes, it will be fine in a while. There was a rebellious party in the south, saying that they would drive out the Tatars and restore China. However, they colluded with the East and turned a blind eye to the fact that the Easterners and Russians were fighting on the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Recently, there has been a talk about the Three People's Principles, and the people's newspaper of the chaotic party and Mr. Liang's Xinmin newspaper have quarreled inseparably, which makes foreigners laugh. Instead of making a noise, it's better to come back and run a few schools. Zhang Chun, you did a good job, just don't forget that the ancestors are watching from the sky. The things of foreigners should be learned, but they should also be used for foreign purposes, not for foreign use. ”

Li Wengui doesn't care what everyone's face is, he just says his own.

"Zhizhi told me that he wants you to go to the new army for a few days and come back to be an officer of the garrison. That's right, a man should guard one side and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. After a few days, you will settle down here, and you will report to the Cao Wu New Army training camp, you are young, and it is not in the way to endure some hardships, and the country is still behind when you use you. ”

Zhang Chun glanced back at Gu Ming.

Gu Ming just walked with his head down.

Xin Baojiu's face was embarrassed.

Li Wengui obviously sensed Zhang Chun's small movements.

"You'll be sixteen next year, sixteen, what was I doing back then?" Li Wengui seemed to fall into the memory, but he smiled for a moment.

"At the age of sixteen, I won the show, and the family gave me a daughter-in-law. Sixteen years old, an age worth remembering. My next generation will read books, but your generation will not be able to read, it is not enough to just read, it is good to read in prosperous times, and it is good to be a soldier in troubled times. To be a soldier is to be a good soldier, to be Yue Fei, not to be Wu Sangui. ”

Li Wengui sighed: "You are stronger than me back then, and you know how to do things in a down-to-earth manner." I think I was just a young man back then. ”

The atmosphere has been awkward, which makes it unimportant to go up the hill to see something.

The garden on the mountain is very simple, and Zhang Chun named it Xinyuan, a very simple name. Li Wengui wrote the name of the garden with great interest. The old guy has a round and atmospheric face, and he can definitely be called a calligrapher. In this era, those who can be admitted to the Jinshi are not weak in calligraphy, but they are so strong as Li Wengui that there are really not many. It's just that why haven't later generations heard of such a character?

Li Wengui's intentions are true or false, but he really can't find fault with what he says.

But the warning is strong. And it's not to Zhang Chun, because he is kind and pleasant when he faces Zhang Chun. But he has never looked at Gu Ming, who should be half a master.

The food on the mountain is a little light, but it is absolutely exquisite, and the girls of Chunya are probably thinking about eating in addition to practicing martial arts.

As soon as Li Wengui looked at these girls, he knew that these children were probably part of Zhang Chun's hole cards. Soldiers, still very powerful soldiers. Zhangjialing is definitely not as simple as it seems. But does it matter? The world of the Qing Dynasty has changed, as long as the country and the species do not die.

Li Wengui ate well. Then he was satisfied and took Xin Baojiu and his attaché away.

When Xin Baojiu was leaving, he could only smile bitterly and signal that he would talk about it later.

Zhang Chunmu sent the group onto the boat. Then he turned his head and smiled at Gu Ming: "Look, the county magistrate clearly treats you as a chaotic party." ”

Gu Ming said with a gloomy face: "The old guy is still pretending to be crazy at his age. ”

After speaking, he smiled again: "But he's quite powerful." ”
