Shi Dazhuang failed to convince Yu Meiren to return to Wuzhong after all. The little girl's stubbornness was the same as his father's, and he had already made the decision that eight cows would not be able to pull it back.

When the news was transmitted back to Wuzhong, the most intense reaction was actually in the summer. The little boy who spoke milkily and was afraid of his brother's revenge was already a bit manly, so he packed his bags and prepared to go south to persuade the girl to come back.

Stepmother Zhang Juan didn't dare to object when she saw him going out, and she didn't even dare to ask. After the incident three years ago, her status in the Xia family has plummeted, and even the servants don't have to fake her. The servant was still busy every day, but she had nothing to do, and no one cared about her, sitting alone in the empty room all day long, grooming in the mirror, and turning the pages of a book that would never turn the title page, like a walking corpse. The reason why she didn't get divorced was that she could leave if she wanted to, and secondly, she could save some face for her mother's family by staying here, and her brother was still in business, and with the dignity of the Xia family, she wouldn't embarrass them.

She still decided to call Xia Changzheng and tell him that he was going out in the summer. After receiving the news, Xia Changzheng rushed to the airport immediately, but he was still one step late, carrying Xia to Spring City and the flight had already flown away. He wondered how a minor bought a ticket and boarded the plane by himself, cursed in his heart to help the people and airlines who helped Summer board the plane, and when he went to check the surveillance, he saw Hu Xing and Summer together, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly bought a ticket for the next flight to Spring City.

Summer did not persuade the poppies to return, but they were attracted by the beautiful scenery of Mangdian and Yuziba, and decided to stay here as well.

"It's as beautiful as the place my grandfather went to when he was young!" He said.

Xia Changzheng asked in wonder, "How do you know what the places your grandfather visited when he was young?" ”

"I saw it in his dreams."

"Then you can't stay here because of this!"

"I'm going to stay here!"

"Impossible!" Xia Changzheng roared impatiently.

Summer stopped talking and countered her father's domineering with a silence that had been common since childhood. Xia Changzheng sighed, thinking of his past negligence to his son and the damage caused by it, his heart softened. But he couldn't figure it out, although a child had never traveled far to see the world, but he wouldn't have to take a look at the mountains of southern Yunnan and even his home.

Hu Xing said with a smile: "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, I am afraid that what I like every day is not only the beautiful scenery in the mountains." ”

Xia Changzheng remembered the poppy beauty he had just seen, and said in amazement: "How old is he?" ”

Hu Xing said: "This is not necessarily not inherited from your genes. ”

Xia Changzheng was silent, his heart seemed to be blocked by dirt, sake lees and honey, a little bitter, a little sour, and a little sweet. He glanced at Summer and said unexpectedly, "If you want to stay, stay." ”

Xia and Hu Xing didn't expect him to agree like this. Hu Xing said: "I just came with me every day to persuade the beauty to go back, but I don't approve of him staying here." ”

Xia Changzheng said: "The scenery here is indeed good, and the people are also good. ”

Hu Xing said: "But there is no good school here, and I still have to go to school every day!" ”

Xia Changzheng said: "Schools can be built. ”

Hu Xing was surprised: "You donate? ”

Xia Changzheng said: "I thought about it, I came to Mangdian to invest, set up a tourism group, develop hotels and real estate, and build a school by the way." So that every day there will be a place to live and a book to read. I can also come over and stay with him, and we're still together as a family. ”

Hu Xing said: "That's not a small amount of money. ”

Xia Changzheng said: "I have also saved some money over the years, and this investment is all my own, and I don't need to use the resources of the Xia family." Of course, I'll talk to my uncle. ”

Summer said, "You don't have to do it for me. ”

Xia Changzheng said: "Don't be happy too early, your grandfather and Grandma Xia may not be able to pass the pass, if they don't agree, you still have to go back to Wuzhong for me." ”

As soon as he talked about Grandpa and Grandma Xia, the stubbornness on Summer's face immediately disappeared, and he took Hu Xing's hand and said, "Sister Xing, you have to help me speak." ”

Hu Xing said: "I won't help you with this." ”

Summer had no choice but to go to see the poppy. The two teenagers sat together on the big bluestone at the mouth of the dam and watched the stars.

"If my grandfather doesn't agree, I'll have to go back." Summer said.

The poppy looked at the starry sky and said "um".

The night suddenly became quiet, and the crickets and frogs were crowing endlessly.

Summer waited for a while before saying, "If that's the case, why don't you go back with me?" ”

"Nope." Poppy said.

Summer's heart is like a stone falling into the water, sinking and sinking, sinking into a piece of coldness.

Knowing this, the cricket and the frog suddenly stopped calling together as if they had made an appointment, but the night became irritable, and the mosquitoes buzzed and flew around in front of them, and they could not get rid of them.

"Then I'll stay, even if my grandfather asks me to go back, I don't care!" Summer bowed her head and said firmly.

"No, I don't want you to stay." The poppy still looked at the starry sky and said.

The heart that had just been fished out of the ice water fell into it again. Summer opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, as if the blood had clotted, and even her lungs were frozen and she couldn't breathe.

The poppy suddenly turned her face and looked at him and said, "You should go back, it's your home." If you miss the beauty of Yuzi Dam, you can always come and see it. ”

"And what if I don't want to do it all the time?" Summer said.

"Then I want to!" The poppy said, "She will be more beautiful because you miss her!" ”

"Will she leave her beauty to me, then? Wait for me to come and see her! ”

"Yes. When the canopy grows taller than the mountain, the green velvet will open for him. My mother said that the green velvet grows on the highest and highest mountains, and it only blooms once in its life, and only the canopy tree that can grow higher than the mountain can see her blooming. ”

Summer imagines the appearance of canopy wood and green velvet artemisia.

"I see." He turned his face to look at the beauty, and their faces were so close that even in the dark, they could see the light of each other's eyes.

The buzzing mosquitoes flew away, and the crickets, crickets, and frogs crowed endlessly, and the bright starlight shone on the faces of the boys and girls, quiet and serene, like a layer of white powder.

"You can wear this when you want me." The poppy took out the space box as if she was juggling a trick and laughed slyly.

Summer finally followed Xia Changzheng back to Wuzhong.

Xia Wenyuan and Wu Lixia really did not agree to him to live in the distant town of Mangdian, but Xia Wenyuan approved Xia Changzheng's investment plan. He said:

"If you have this heart, it means that you have completely repented, then do what you want, and don't use your private money at the bottom of the box, just treat it as the Xia family's industrial investment, set up a tourism group in southern Yunnan, you are already familiar with the real estate and hotel industry, I believe you can do a good job, the key is to run a school, you have to put more thought into it, don't be afraid to spend money."

So Xia continued to go to school in Wuzhong, while Xia Changzheng went to Ruihekou to take charge of the investment there. With the Xia family's funds, the tourism development of Ruihekou has become more and more rapid, and within a few years, Mangdian has become one of the most well-known tourist towns in southern Yunnan.

A few years later, I traveled to southern Yunnan in the summer. On a flowstone beach at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, for the first time, I really saw the towering canopy wood and the tender green velvet artemisia.
