Baitou Village is located in a hilly area about 1000 kilometers away from City A. Although it contains a large amount of natural minerals and rich land and forest resources, it has not been recognized by more people because of road limitations for many years.There are hundreds of families in this village, with a population of nearly [-], making it one of the larger villages around.

It was neither too late nor too early for He Zhenying to come here. It was just in time for the country to vigorously support the local economy, especially to build a modern new countryside. However, he went to Baitou Village, thousands of miles away, instead of choosing to be close to City A. , The village with relatively convenient transportation is because of a piece of news I got a few months ago-mineral deposits.

At that time, most people did not have such foresight as He Zhenying. When the economy was just starting, people all turned their attention to the manufacturing export industry, which had low risks, high profits, and short-term results.At this time, He Zhenying has not yet resigned from his public office, and he has several foreign trade processing contracts in hand, but compared to such small troubles, he always feels that he is being led by the nose by others, especially foreigners.

How can we get the initiative back?

After thinking for a long time, he finally found out that most of what they can produce is mainly light industrial products, and what really hinders the development of the country's economy is the contempt for heavy industry.And what is most needed for the development of heavy industry?

Following the information he received from the Geological Survey Bureau a few months ago, he came to this village hidden in the mountains alone.With his official title and wealth at this time, he will definitely be confessed by the village leaders as an immortal, but what he needs is not this, but to actually find out the mineral resources in the village, and then organize an expert group to investigate .

But what he never expected was that the car broke down halfway and he lost his way.

"Uncle, where did you come from? That big black box is a car, it's the first time I've seen it."

In front of him, a boy about [-] or [-] years old is trying to talk to him, but it can be seen that he is too inexperienced, a little shy when facing strangers, and can only keep looking at him. Come forward to hide your embarrassment.

"En." He Shichen simply responded. He is not interested in chatting. In contrast, he hopes that the young man can turn around and look at himself, so that he can experience the feeling of being struck by lightning all over his body. Feel.

Is it an illusion or some inexplicable emotion at work?

Nearly fifty years old, He Zhenying followed behind the young man in a daze, watching his slender body nimbly shuttle through the countryside.His skin is not as dark as ordinary rural children, but white with the luster of pearls, and his temperament, how can ordinary rural families raise such a child?

"what's your name?"

The young man stopped in his tracks, turned his face slightly and said, "My name is Ning He, Ning of An Ning, the crane of the crane."

Ning... Crane...

These two words were deeply seared into He Zhenying's heart from this moment until he walked into the grave.

....................................

"Uncle He, Uncle He, is it true that you said last time that I can also go to university?"

Time passed quickly, and a month passed in a flash, which meant that He Zhenying had stayed in this village for a long time, far exceeding the expected time.The address expert team has already been here, the mineral resources of Baitou Village have been proven, and the construction team is on their way.As usual, at this time, he should go back to City A or Baitou County to settle the matter of road construction and the establishment of an energy company.

But his legs seemed to be rooted in this village, and he couldn't move half a step.He knew why, because as soon as he walked out of the house every morning, he could see Ning He calling him "Uncle Li" with a shy smile.

If the heartbeat a month ago was just his illusion, then he has spent a full 30 days to confirm the boy's influence on himself.

At first he couldn't accept it at all, he was almost old enough to be his grandfather, and, this is a boy, he has lived for 47 years and never found out that he still has this problem?

He often looks at Ning He's young face in a daze, his mind has long been lost in the youth's unreserved smile.

This is too dangerous!

He reminded himself time and time again, but found that his heart was like a demon, as long as he didn't see this boy for a while, he would go crazy.

It is not until middle age that a person discovers that his heart can beat like a young man in love, and he can also worry about a person as written in the book.

But all this came too late.Although he and his wife have no feelings for each other, they have been together for so many years anyway. She gave birth to him three sons and a daughter, and his eldest grandson was just born two months ago. He named him He Shichen, which will be his successor. Man in mantle.

Successful career, full of children and grandchildren.How many people envy him for being able to achieve such an achievement half a hundred years ago.But he has never been satisfied, he doesn't know what he wants, money and power are just a bunch of props that he can chat with to pass the time, no matter how much they accumulate, they can't fill the void in his heart.

His wife often complains that he is a heartless man, no matter how nice he is to him, he always looks indifferent, as if anyone or anything doesn't matter to him.Even He Zhenying himself felt that he was probably born lacking something, unable to have rich emotions like ordinary people.

But from the moment he saw Ning He, a huge change took place in him.The passion that had been buried for nearly 50 years burst out violently, and he had to try his best to pretend and suppress it, otherwise even he himself would not know what would happen.

"Well, yes. Your grades are very good. You can go to city A to take the preparatory class first and then take the entrance exam." A month later, Ning He had completely regarded this foreigner who accidentally broke into the village as a loving elder, He has never seen such a knowledgeable and extraordinary person, even the most famous teacher in the county is not half as smart as him.

He admires and loves such a person, and he satisfies his thirst for knowledge and the unknown world.He Shichen's arrival was like opening a door for him, and there were countless new and strange things waiting for him to explore.

Ning He looks like old man Ning in the village. Old man Ning picked up this full-term child by the river at the entrance of the village when he was 50 years old. Because he put a crane-shaped wooden carving in his baby, he named him Ning He.

Ning He is different from all the children in this village. Although he also helps the family with farm work and housework, his favorite thing is to read the books collected by old man Ning.Old man Ning had stayed in the county earlier and worked as a helper in the bookstore. Later, the bookstore couldn't keep going, so the boss gave him a lot of books.

Ning He has to walk five kilometers every day to go to the high school jointly run by several villages. Although it is a high school, it is actually just a private school that gathers children from several nearby villages together, from elementary school to high school.The county sends teachers here every year, but every teacher leaves early because he can't bear the hardships here.Even so, Ning He still left a deep impression on them. This smart, studious and literature-loving child is as eye-catching as a beautiful jade among the piles of rocks.

His ambition is to go to university in the city, but how easy is it to get out of this village?

Just when Ning He was about to give up, He Zhenying appeared, and he brought him great news. He seemed to have seen the sacred door of the university open to him.

He respects and appreciates He Zhenying. The young man doesn't have too many thoughts in his heart. Even if He Zhenying won't really help him, just such a news is enough for him to be grateful for a lifetime.

"Uncle He, thank you very much. Without you, I am afraid that my wish will never come true." He knew that the road to study would not be as simple as He Zhenying said, but he would not give up, no matter how much time he spent. To fulfill his dream.

Looking at the boy's childish and innocent smile, He Zhenying shook his head and said, "You're welcome, I've already regarded you as my... child."

He couldn't express his dirty and nasty thoughts, the young man in front of him was so innocent, anything about sex would stain him.

Ning He will never know that in He Zhenying's mind, he looks like an angel during the day, but at night, he will take off his clothes, climb onto his kang obediently, and show him that he is different from women. His charming eyes, then gently twisted his waist, waiting for his...

In his heart, He Zhenying is an elder, a benefactor, and a teacher. He is even more like his father than old man Ning, so he can't help feeling close.

He would take him to sit on the stone dam at the entrance of the village, tell him the political and economic situation in the world, and analyze the conflicts of interests between countries.His words were far more exciting and in-depth than those on the radio, and they always fascinated him, and the whole afternoon passed before he knew it.

For the sake of this boy, He Zhenying almost went out of business. He forgot about his wife, children, and the eldest grandson who was born soon. He devoted all his heart and soul to this young man without reservation.

One evening, he leaned against the pear tree at the entrance of the village, and said to Ning He in a low and hoarse voice: "Ning He, my friend has a place, and he can directly participate in the preparatory class of A University. I will be able to take the entrance exam after the exam, I want to give you this spot, would you like it?"

"What, what, what!!!??? Really, really??" Ning He was stunned by the news, blinking and blinking, unable to believe it.

This kind of Ning He is no different from an ordinary 16-year-old boy. He Zhenying showed a slightly doting smile and said, "As long as you want."

"He, Uncle He, I, I..." Whenever he was nervous or excited, Ning He would stutter involuntarily. At this time, he was almost overwhelmed by the joy in his heart, his cheeks were flushed, and he was so excited. I don't know what to say.

He Zhenying showed a meaningful smile, in the eyes of pure Ning He, it was no different from He Zhenying's usual smile.But that represents the joy of seeing a fish take the bait.

After confirming the boy's strong possessiveness, He Zhenying started his plan.He has always been a person with a weak sense of morality. He will give his wife a better life than ordinary people, but he has never promised his own feelings.Now, he wants to dedicate it to the boy in front of him without leaving a single drop. He has to accept it if he is willing, and he has to accept it if he is not willing.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a sinister plan was formed in his mind.He knows what Ning He desires most, and he can easily do it for him.

The seemingly simple bait caught the fish quickly. As long as Ning He was brought to City A, he believed that he would have enough time and means to make him accept his love.

He didn't know what he liked about Ning He, maybe it was his inadvertently bewildered eyes, maybe it was his obsequious obsession, when he came back to his senses, he had already fallen hopelessly.He is so special, different from everyone he has ever met, sometimes innocent, sometimes wise, sometimes dancing, sometimes quiet.Such a multiple contradictory body has a fatal attraction to him, and his mind is full of how to tie him by his side.

But now, he finally took the first step.

"He, Uncle He, I don't know how to thank you, it's not relative, why do you help me like this?"

"I've said it before, I treat you as my own child." He Zhenying said the words against his will, without the slightest feeling of guilt in his heart, he just wanted to hold the young man's slender body in his arms, caress his smooth face, kiss him Kiss those bright red lips.

I don't know how long it will be until that day comes, and his patience is running out.

Half a month later, He Zhenying planned to leave the village. He wanted to take Ning He on the road together, but was obstructed by some people.

Old man Ning is the eldest son, and the relationship between him and his younger siblings is not very good even though he has never been married.They looked down on the elder brother who had done nothing, worked in the city but did not earn money, and was not good at doing farm work. At such an age, he did nothing and raised a picked child.Being relatives with such people is really embarrassing, so they don't usually walk around much, at most they say hello when they meet.

Teacher Ning didn't care either. He looked at his cornfield with puffy eyes and sat for a day. After Ning He was raised, his health was getting worse day by day, and he did less work. He usually relied on writing letters for others. Copy things to earn a little money.

But he knew that Ning He was different from him, such a smart and studious child could not be found in a village dozens of miles away, and he couldn't let him be buried in this village, so when He Zhenying proposed to take him to school in City A Immediately agreed.

But those younger brothers and sisters who haven't seen set foot in his house for more than half a year quit.In their eyes, He Zhenying is a golden Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth they can only meet in their lifetime, even a little gold hanging from his fingernails is enough for them to eat and drink for decades.

The relationship between Ning He and He Zhenying forced them to get close to their eldest brother. The sisters-in-law and brother-in-law rushed to deliver things to his house, and even brought their own children to him, asking him to ask Ning He to talk to He Zhenying, etc. After the mining area is built, find a good job for them.

Old man Ning never dared to flatter his horse, let alone let Ning He do it, so he never agreed. Because of this, his brothers and sisters complained a lot to him.And when they learned that Ning He was going to follow He Zhenying to City A, they immediately exploded.

They felt that the big brother didn't do things for their own family, but let the wild child he picked up get a big advantage and took up all the benefits. This is unreasonable!

From this day on, they took turns to go to old man Ning's house to make trouble, and even took away the package Ning He had packed, and called him a white-eyed wolf who didn't know what to do.

Ning He has a peaceful temperament and never argues with others. Facing the trumped-up charges, he chose to remain silent and did not tell He Zhenying.The only thing he worries about is his adoptive father. If he goes to city a thousands of miles away, who will take care of him?Once he broke his face with these relatives, he could pat his ass and leave, so what about his adoptive father?Stay in the village and not be made difficult by them to death?

The second uncle wanted his eldest son to be a small leader in the mining area in the future; the third uncle said that when the land was expropriated in the mining area, he would pay more for his family and at least pay for a building; Shi went to school with Ning He, even though he stopped studying after primary school.

Ning He had a difficult time. He didn't expect that the road to school would be so difficult and involved so many things.Facing the selfless and generous He Zhenying, how could he have the face to let him know these terrible things.

The greed of his relatives made him miserable, and he decided to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his adoptive father. Maybe he could go to school in the city with his own ability in the future, but it's not the time yet, and he can't rest assured that his adoptive father is alone.

He Zhenying absolutely does not allow any flaws in his plan, Ning He's refusal is something he never thought of, his face is calm and unwavering, but his heart is like anger.There must be someone or something that changed Ning He's mind, who was devoted to studying.

The village is not big, and Ning He's social circle is very narrow, so he can figure out the ins and outs after a little inquiry.Two days later, the uncles and aunts came to apologize with the whole family, which flattered Ning He.Any conditions were cancelled, and they also promised to take good care of his adoptive father when he went to city a.

Ning He didn't think much about it, thinking that the family affection moved them and made them finally wake up.Because from the beginning to the end, He Zhenying didn't seem to be involved in this incident, and didn't even know it happened.

Under the watchful eyes of his adoptive father and relatives, Ning He took a packed bag and got into He Zhenying's car.When the car drove to the entrance of the village, he looked back, through the transparent car window, he found that other people had already dispersed in twos and threes, only the adoptive father was left, looking at him intently on crutches.

At that moment, Ning He's eyes filled with tears. The only thing he can hardly repay in this life is this heavy kindness of nurturing.He made up his mind in his heart that when he returned from his studies, he would take his adoptive father out of here and live a good life in the city.

He Zhenying calmly hugged his trembling shoulders from crying, but the young man refused his comfort, and stubbornly leaned on the back of the chair to wipe away his tears.

The winding mountain road is inlaid in the dense mountains. For He Zhenying, it leads to a picturesque and beautiful road in spring, while for Ning He, it is a sacred road of seeking knowledge, which will lead him Explore the vast world of literature.

With two completely different thoughts, Ning He followed He Zhenying to City A.Only then did he truly understand what it means to be a frog at the bottom of a well.Facing the constant flow of people and cars, he stood at the intersection in a daze.The building in front of me was taller than several county governments combined, and the people were well dressed, more fashionable and refined than those in the picture album.

He was stunned by what he saw in front of him, and he didn't even dare to take a step.

"what happened?"

A big warm hand held his, and then pulled him into an antique house.

"Is this a park?" I don't know why, since he came to City A, Uncle He has often made some intimate gestures towards him. He is not used to this, and even his adoptive father seldom holds his hands when he is an adult. hand.

"No, it's your residence in city a."

"Here?" Ning He stared blankly at the exquisite courtyard. Small bridges, flowing water, flowers, birds, insects, and fish were delicately arranged in this elegant world, and the quiet and peaceful appearance seemed like a paradise.

"This is my yard. No one lives there. You can live here. There will be a nanny to cook and clean for you. I will come here when I have time. You can study here without worrying about anything. Tube."

His words not only caused Ning He to have doubts, but also a strange feeling.He and He Zhenying met by chance, even if he really treated him as his own child as he said, but this kind of treatment is too much, isn't it?Besides, being placed alone in a secluded courtyard made him uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain why.

But he knew that refusal was futile. After getting along for nearly two months, he knew how much He Zhenying was.He seems kind and tolerant, but in fact he is authoritarian and strong. He doesn't like people to refute or question his opinions, even if it is a gift, he does not allow others to refuse.

Sure enough, as soon as he said his refusal, He Zhenying interrupted him: "Ning He, I was the one who brought you out of the village. Naturally, I have to take good care of you. Otherwise, how can I explain to your father?"

He Zhenying has worked hard in the business and political circles for many years, and he has always been impeccable in his speech. How could a child of Ning He's level be able to subdue him.Just a few words made Ning He speechless, even if he refused in every possible way, it would only cause his displeasure.

Ning He finally obeyed his arrangement and settled down in this huge mansion.The scenery here is picturesque, but no matter how beautiful it is, if there is only one person living here, it will inevitably make him feel deserted and lonely.Especially at night, when he was lying on the large kang, watching the moonlight shining through the window, the soft chirping of insects reminded him, making the night even more serene.

At this time, he will miss the things in the village especially, his adoptive father, the rhubarb at home, and the pear tree at the entrance of the village. Everything is so kind but far away.

He didn't know what was waiting for him in this huge city, and started his unknown journey in anxiety.
