In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

He took a deep breath, trying to adjust his emotions and calm his excited heart.

After a while, Secretary Dong looked at Zhao Shuzhuo again, his eyes full of love and emotion. He said slowly:

"I have been to the battlefield in my life. Those were years of hail of bullets and smoke of gunpowder."

"My comrades and I sacrificed our lives and shed our blood to defend our country, and we never backed down."

"Later, I was lucky enough to return from the battlefield and started a new life. I also married the person I loved."

"She is kind and gentle, and has spent countless days and nights with me. We also have a son and a daughter."

"Watching the children grow up day by day, my heart is filled with joy and pride."

"However, in this long life, I have only one regret, and that is that I have not repaid the kindness of Brother Zhao Wanjie."

Secretary Dong's eyes became distant, as if he was immersed in memories.

"I had thought that once I was settled, I would invite Brother Wanjie and his wife to come to the city to spend my old age with me."

"I wanted them to live a good life and repay them for their help. But I didn't expect that Brother Wanjie would pass away so early."

"When I heard the news, I was devastated and felt like I owed him so much."

"Later, I went to invite Wanjie's sister-in-law, but she refused to come and said she didn't want to cause me any trouble."

"This couple is such a rare good person. They always think of others and never ask for anything in return."

"Their kindness and simplicity have always been deeply imprinted in my heart."

Secretary Dong's voice was low and slow, and every word was filled with respect and remembrance for Zhao Wanjie and his wife.

After listening to Secretary Dong's words, Zhao Shuzhuo's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He bit his lips tightly, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out. His eyes were slightly red, revealing deep emotion and feeling.

After a long while, Zhao Shuzhuo slowly opened his mouth and said to Secretary Dong:

"Grandpa Dong, I don't have a very deep impression of Grandpa. In my memory, Grandpa's appearance is always a little vague."

"It's as if there's a thin veil between us. I only remember that when I was a child, I would occasionally hear some stories about my grandfather from my grandmother."

Zhao Shuzhuo lowered his head slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"I've always heard my grandma say that in this life, we should do more good deeds. Do more good deeds, and even if blessings have not yet arrived, disasters will be far away."

"I was still young at that time and didn't quite understand the profound meaning of this sentence. One time, I asked my grandmother out of curiosity, "

"You have never been to school and you can't read. How do you know this?"

"Grandma smiled tenderly, stroked my head gently, and said slowly: 'Your grandfather told me.'"

"He said this and did this his whole life. Since then, this sentence has been deeply engraved in my heart."

Secretary Dong listened quietly to Zhao Shuzhuo's story, his eyes full of kindness and emotion.

He patted Zhao Shuzhuo's shoulder gently, and that hand seemed to carry an invisible power, giving Zhao Shuzhuo comfort and encouragement.

Secretary Dong nodded firmly, as if expressing his deep admiration for Zhao Wanjie's character.

Afterwards, Secretary Dong fell into deep thought. His eyes became somewhat distant, as if he was recalling the past years.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the air around became exceptionally quiet.

Secretary Dong sat there quietly, motionless, like a statue in deep thought. After a while, Secretary Dong slowly raised his head and asked Zhao Shuzhuo:

"Shuzhuo, what's the matter with you this time? Are you having any difficulties at home?"

Secretary Dong's voice was full of concern, and the worry in his eyes made people feel particularly warm.

His eyes were fixed on Zhao Shuzhuo, as if waiting for an important answer.

Zhao Shuzhuo had just been immersed in the grief of his relatives, and the deep sorrow enveloped his soul like a thick cloud.

His thoughts were immersed in memories of his grandfather and in regrets about the past years. He seemed to be lost in the long river of time.

However, when he heard Secretary Dong's question, he was suddenly awakened and returned to reality in an instant.

He then remembered the purpose of his visit, and quickly adjusted his mood, saying to Secretary Dong:

"No, Secretary Dong, there's not much else in my family. I'm the only one left."

"I have lived alone these years. Although my life has been dull, I have not had any difficulties. This time I came here for something else."

As Zhao Shuzhuo spoke, he introduced to Secretary Dong:

"Secretary Dong, these are my friends, Wang Jianguo and He Yushui. They came to our Great Northern Wilderness from Sijiu City."

"Comrade Wang Jianguo has a burning heart and is determined to build our Great Northern Wilderness."

"After careful consideration, he wanted to build a supply and marketing cooperative on our farm. However, to achieve this goal, a series of procedures are required."

"While we were running around, the director learned about our situation and brought us to you."

"Secretary Dong, we really hope you can help us."

Zhao Shuzhuo's eyes were full of expectation and earnestness; his words were like the gurgling of water, expressing their desires and demands.

Secretary Dong listened to Zhao Shuzhuo's story quietly, but his brows gradually furrowed.

His eyes became serious and solemn. After a moment of silence, he said to Zhao Shuzhuo:

"I can't promise you that. Under the current circumstances, individuals are not allowed to set up supply and marketing cooperatives."

"This is an act of speculation and profiteering, which is of a very bad nature. We must strictly abide by the country's policies and regulations and cannot violate them at will."

"Supply and marketing cooperatives are important institutions related to the country's economic lifeline and people's lives, and must be managed and operated by the state."

"I understand your passion and ideas, but we cannot make the wrong decision because of the impulse of the moment."

Secretary Dong's words are firm and powerful, and his attitude is clear and resolute, which makes people feel his adherence to principles and respect for national policies.

When Zhao Shuzhuo heard what Secretary Dong said, he suddenly became anxious and said to Secretary Dong:

"Secretary Dong, I didn't explain it clearly just now, so you misunderstood. Comrade Jianguo did not run the supply and marketing cooperative alone."

"Instead, he invested money to build a supply and marketing cooperative for our production team. Comrade Jianguo made it clear."

"This supply and marketing cooperative belongs to the public, and there will absolutely be no private ownership."

Zhao Shuzhuo's eyes were full of sincerity, and he was eager to make Secretary Dong understand their true intentions.

After listening to Zhao Shuzhuo's explanation, the confusion on Secretary Dong's face not only did not decrease, but became even more intense.
