Iron Bull Legend

At times like this, he was really grateful for the friendship between him and Tie Niu for so many years, and he was even more grateful that his precious daughter, whom he could not even control, was following in his footsteps.

"Haha, Grandpa, about this matter I..." Before Tie Niu could finish his words, Grandpa Chu waved his hand and glared at him, shutting him up.

"It's settled. Also, Comrade Changhe, you report this matter to the higher-ups and say that I will retire at the People's Congress. I'm old and useless." Old Man Chu was sending a signal to the outside world, retreating to advance and standing up for Tie Niu.

"Mr. Chu, I can report this matter to the higher-ups on your behalf. Aren't you planning to attend the two sessions after the new year?" Secretary Xue Changhe has already seen Mr. Chu's determination.

"Yes, I'm old, and it's time for me to give way to young people. I don't want to worry about anything anymore, and it's time for me to go home and enjoy my retirement." When Mr. Chu said this, there was a trace of reluctance on his face. After all, he had worked in the government for decades, and his health was better than that of his colleagues who were a dozen years younger. He was really unwilling, but this was the only way for Tie Niu.

"I really want to work with you. I will try my best to make this happen." Secretary Xue Changhe came to Tie Niu today, actually with a mission. The old man meant to ask him to come and persuade Mr. Chu that the higher up the cadre team goes, the fewer positions there are.

The top of the pyramid is a very small space, and everyone wants to sit on the top to enjoy the scenery. However, although the scenery at the top of the pyramid is beautiful and picturesque, the wind is also very strong, and if you are not careful you will be blown away by a hurricane.

Now, Mr. Chu has grasped the opportunity very well and precisely. He has not only obtained what he wanted, but also supported Tie Niu, a younger generation. He has not stepped down yet, and even if he does, he still has the right to speak.

In the beginning, he had stood up for the old man, and charged forward, raising the flag and shouting slogans. It has only been less than a year, and the higher-ups want him to make a sacrifice. He really feels a bit like the death of a rabbit and the grief of the fox, and he is even more heartbroken by the bloody cruelty without the smoke of gunpowder in officialdom.

At this time, Tie Niu seemed to understand something. He looked at Tai Gong with a puzzled look, but he saw a kind of love in Tai Gong's eyes that he had never seen before, a feeling of being a family member.

He has always regarded his aunt Chu Miaomiao as the only person closest to him. Today, he saw the kindness and affection in the old man's eyes again. This is family love.

"Grandpa, I don't understand why you want to retire so early. Is it for me?" When Tie Niu said this, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Silly child, I'm old, and I also want to stay with you for a few years and have a few years of leisure time. Your aunt came back and told me that you built a villa by yourself in Yangcheng. I heard that you designed it yourself. I want to live in our little Tieniu's house, and your aunt will also go over." Old Master Chu said it calmly, as if he had let go of everything at once.

“Grandfather…” Tie Niu was speechless for a moment. He felt his eyes were sore and his nose was a little blocked. He just watched his grandfather sacrifice many things for him.

"Silly boy, I've wanted to go home and rest for a long time. I'm really tired after so many years. Let you young people handle some things. This is already your world."

After Secretary Xue Changhe and Director He left, Tie Niu still loaded the family's good wine, cigarettes and some gifts into their cars. After all, it was the first day of the new year. In the Chinese concept, this was to wish them a happy new year, and courtesy must be observed.

The yangko team at the main gate did not end until after four in the afternoon, and the whole family welcomed the glory of previous years again. After all, the honor of the Tie family was a thing of the past. However, such a custom of New Year greetings has been formed, and the yangko team formed by any unit in the capital is as enthusiastic as ever.

Tie Niu was very touched by these. Besides, this was an honor, an honor belonging to the Tie family, which would never change. Tie Niu was now the mayor, which was another manifestation and continuation of this honor.

Jack, Royce, Doron, Barbara, and Li Xihua, the second generation rich, have been living in their own country or other countries all these years and have never experienced such a scene. So, they had a great time today.

By dinner time, everyone was tired as a dog, but their enthusiasm was still unabated. Even eating did not stop them from talking about their performance that day.

Tie Niu sat quietly on the side listening to them eating and drinking to their heart's content and bragging to each other. Even Jin Lan, who was always nicknamed the loud speaker in the family, could not get a word in and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

After dinner, everyone was still in high spirits, but the fatigue from a day of jumping around couldn't dampen their enthusiasm.

After finishing his meal, Tie Niu sat on a stool at the gate. Although Li Xiaocao's face was red from the cold, he still stayed with Tie Niu.

"Tie Niu, I saw you sitting in the room chatting with them as soon as you came back today. I was embarrassed to go over and disturb you. What did you talk about?"

"Ah, after the New Year I may leave Yangcheng to work somewhere else due to some reasons." Tie Niu turned his head slightly, looking happily at the girl who had been with him for nearly a year, looking at her who was red from the cold and still hadn't come out of the excitement of today.

"Ah, why? You are doing well there. I heard that you still have many ideas and concepts that have not been implemented. Why are the higher-ups so irresponsible?"

"This is a matter for the higher-ups. I am just a staff member assigned by the state. Haha, I am just a brick in the construction of the country. I will be moved wherever I am needed."

"It's really infuriating. Don't do this anymore. Our family is not short of money. Why don't you come back to the United States with me? Grandpa will support you in whatever you want to do. Even if you want to run for president of the United States, dad and our Li family will fully support you. Go ahead and do it."

"Xiao Cao, I am Chinese. I will not do those things. Moreover, I will not leave my motherland, and I will not give up my nationality just to run for a president. If that were the case, what would be the difference between me and a traitor?"

"But I don't want to see you unhappy. I want you to be a happy little boy with a smile on your face every day. Otherwise, let's go to Eagle Country. The Proud Son of Heaven was founded by you alone. It contains all your hard work."

"Xiao Cao, you have been living in the beautiful country, so you don't have any feelings for your country. China will always be my roots and my inseparable feelings."

"Forget it, it's up to you. From now on, I'll be wherever you are, and we'll never be apart." Li Xiaocao bent down, lay on Tie Niu's back, and put her face against Tie Niu's.

"Xiao Cao, after the New Year you will go to school in Beijing and try to complete your studies within a few years. When you graduate, we will..." Before Tie Niu could finish his words, the old man pushed open the door and took out the purple clay teapot he never left behind, and saw the two young people whispering here.

"Grandpa Hanako..." Xiaocao's face turned even redder, because his appearance made the little girl shy, and she couldn't help but punch Tieniu's shoulder a few times with her little fist.

"Haha, aren't you cold sitting here, Xiao Tieniu? Look, the little girl's face is all red from the cold. You have a lot of kung fu to rely on, but the little girl Xiaocao can't. Go back to the house, it's warm there, and no one will disturb you. I'll let the big cat stand guard for you."

"Grandpa...what are you talking about? I just have nothing to do after dinner so I want to stay here for a while with Tieniu. Later I want to play games with other people." Li Xiaocao's face became even more shy.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go talk to those old guys. It's too early to go to bed. You guys chat. Haha, it's good to be young, it's really good." The old man smiled and walked away.

"It's all your fault. Grandpa Hanako made a fool of himself."

"It's okay, Grandpa Huazi is a good man. You don't know, when I was a child, we fought while eating. My aunt and my two sisters Jinlan and Jinzhu all held their bowls and walked away from the table." Tie Niu recalled the interesting things that happened when he was a child.

"It's true. Why would you fight while eating? That's your grandpa. Have you been naughty since you were a child?" Li Xiaocao suddenly became interested.

"At that time, Grandpa Guo tricked Grandpa Huazi into going to a small mountain village, hoping that he would teach me his unique skills. Grandpa Huazi refused to do so, so Grandpa Guo deliberately provoked him. While they were drinking, Grandpa Huazi was encouraged by Grandpa Guo. Hehe, I really miss that time."

"You are a little rascal. You are so cunning even at such a young age."

"In fact, Grandpa Huazi is teaching me on purpose, mainly to see my talent. You don't know, Grandpa Huazi is very capable."

"Really? What did they teach you? Tell me quickly. It can't be some unique martial arts, right?" Li Xiaocao suddenly became interested. After all, their Li family also had a great master.

"His stealing skills are unmatched in the world. Before you know it, your things have been taken away by him. Isn't that amazing?"

"You didn't lie to me? There are stealing techniques in this world, but they are not as magical as you said." Li Xiaocao puffed out her lips to express her disbelief.

"How could I lie to you? Look, are the keys in your pocket still there? Oh, and the watch on your wrist." Tie Niu stretched out his palm with a wicked grin, and two items were clearly lying on his palm.

"Ah, when did you take it? How did you do it? I didn't feel anything at all. Show it to me again." Li Xiaocao was immediately overjoyed and wanted to learn this unique skill.

"Xiao Cao, do you know how much we had to learn and how much we suffered when we were young to learn these things? Also, how much psychological harm we did to so many little loaches and how much psychological trauma we left on them?" Tie Niu smiled like a little fox, and finally, a happy smile appeared on his face.

It was after the conversation in the afternoon that Tie Niu finally smiled. His smile in front of his beloved girl was so sunny and bright, and all the previous haze was swept away.

"What are you saying? Do loaches have any intentions? How could they have psychological trauma? Are you kidding me? You are plotting something. Call me quickly." Li Xiaocao kept slapping Tie Niu's chest, and her two little fists seemed to be tickling Tie Niu.

"Do you really want to learn?" Tie Niu looked at the smiling girl in front of him with loving eyes.

"I'm not kidding you. Didn't you tell me before that having many skills is always a burden? With this magical skill, I won't have to worry about having food to eat in the future, hehe."
