"You have to learn from Grandpa Qi, and I'll buy you meat buns when you come back." Huo Jinzhi flatly refused, but his tone was soft, and he promised to bring good food, compared to the previous indifference, now Huo Jinzhi is much kinder.

Tang Xiaonan pouted unhappily, she didn't want to eat meat buns, she wanted to go to the city to play, but she didn't dare to resist the future boss, and she finally got a good impression, but she couldn't make the boss angry.

Sighing in a low voice, Tang Xiaonan reluctantly agreed, her face was full of unhappiness, but she had to be obedient, the appearance of the little adult amused Huo Jinzhi, this fat girl seemed to have grown up overnight, not only would she not be unreasonable, but she was also very intimate, which was completely different from the previous brutal Tang Xiaopang.

It is said that the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and this fat girl has changed before she reaches the eighteenth, and it seems that she is more precocious.

"Study obediently, I'll buy a white rabbit." Huo Jinzhi added another benefit.

Old Man Qi and Su Wanrou both love to eat sugar, and the taste is tricky, ordinary fruit candy is not eye-catching, Yuecheng is a small county, the highest level of sugar is the white rabbit, Huo Jinzhi has made money, and he is more and more stingy in eating, and the pastries and candies at home have never been broken.

Tang Xiaonan is not interested in the White Rabbit, she is a person who wants to lose weight, but she can take it back to Chai Yuxiang to eat, this eight-year-old cousin has not had a good life since she was a child, and she can't eat well if she lives in Zhang Manyue, Tang Xiaonan feels sorry for this little girl, so she saves her snacks for Chai Yuxiang to eat.

Huo Jinzhi sent Tang Xiaonan to the old man Qi, the old man drove four or five cows to graze on the hillside, his spirit was obviously much better, and there was meat on his face.

"This egg will be eaten by the cow in a moment."

Huo Jinzhi put the basket of eggs next to the old man, and after a while, the people of the brigade will come to plough the fields, a few cattle will be changed to plough, and the cattle who are coolies will have to supplement their nutrition, Huo Jinzhi likes these cows very much, and would rather eat less by himself, but also let the hard-working cattle eat well.

"You know, you go into the city, don't forget to buy sugar." What the old man never forgets is sugar, and after eating a few white rabbits every day, his mood is much better.

If it weren't for missing his wife and children, the old man even thought it would be good to live in a mountain village like this, but he was going out after all, and he believed that this day would come soon.

"I can't forget it."

Huo Jinzhi pulled Tang Xiaonan's pigtails and walked briskly, with a bicycle he can do a lot of things, go to the scrap yard to see if he can get some more old books, I have finished reading all the books I got last time.

"Little girl, sit here, I will recite to you a poem, my favorite, Pushkin's "If Life Deceives You."

The old man let Tang Xiaonan sit beside him, his deep voice was full of emotion, and he was frustrated, although his voice was hoarse and his middle breath was insufficient, but it was the most emotional recitation Tang Xiaonan had ever heard.

“If by life you were deceived，

Don't be dismal， don't be wild!

In the day of grief， be mild

Merry days will come， believe.

……”

"That's nice, grandpa, what does this poem say?"

"Teach us not to despair in adversity, not to be discouraged, to believe that a better future will come, Xiaonan, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can't compromise on life, think more about the good, and the difficulties will be defeated."

The old man seemed to be talking to Tang Xiaonan, but in fact, he was telling himself that whenever he couldn't hold on to it over the years, the old man would recite this poem to motivate himself, he must live and wait until the day of family reunion comes.
