Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Son, you're back." Old Lady Li was overjoyed to see her son whom she hadn't seen for many days.

"Qinghong." Li Juhua looked at him with great grievance.

Li Qinghong took off her heavy military coat, and Li Qi immediately stepped forward to take it obediently and sensibly, shook off the snowflakes and water droplets on it, and hung it up.

A plain face, thrown into the crowd without any recognition. Looking closely, you can still see that there is a slight disharmony between his facial features.

"Dad, what grandma said is right. If it weren't for her today, how could my brother be injured? And I was beaten into a pig's head by Yang Qingdai."

Li Qi grumbled in dissatisfaction, saying that she didn't get anything and she was scared.

Li Qinghong patted her head lovingly, "Dad knows, you go cook first. Dad has brought back meat and vegetables."

"Dad is so nice!" Li Qi ran out happily.

They only had sweet potato porridge for lunch, not even vegetables. In the past, in Guangzhou, during festivals, we had fish and meat, and what we couldn’t finish was thrown away.

She didn't understand why she had to come to a place like this to suffer when she was living well in Guangzhou, and she felt so wronged that she cried.

He resented the useless stepmother even more. If she had not severed ties with Yang Qingdai, they would still be living a wealthy upper-class life.

Just look at the house that Yang Qingdai bought after coming to Qingshan Brigade. It is much more luxurious than the one they live in now. Unlike the one they live in now, it is small and old, and she doesn't even have her own bedroom.

The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became, and she wished her father would replace her with a rich stepmother right away.

"Mom, I've told you so many times that I will never divorce Ah Hua. Don't say such things in front of the children anymore."

Li Qinghong twisted a handkerchief and wiped Li Juhua's face, saying softly, "Go back to your room first. I'll find some medicine to wipe it on you."

Li Juhua nodded shyly. Her obedient appearance was completely different from how she appeared in front of Yang Qingdai and others.

When only Li Qinghong and his wife were left in the room, Li Qinghong frowned and said, "Mom, please stop talking nonsense. Without her, there would be no Li Qinghong today."

"Son, that Li Juhua, is really..."

Old Mrs. Li didn’t know what to say. She only knew that she had been taken to the police station because of Li Juhua and had been beaten several times. Now she was “driven” to this shabby place.

No matter how I thought about it, I felt uncomfortable.

Li Qinghong sighed, "Mom, don't you think about it, our family's good life and all those things were all obtained because of Ah Hua.

Right now, the situation forces us to avoid the spotlight for now. It has nothing to do with her. Don't blame her for everything."

After being told this by her own son, Mrs. Li could only shut up. But when she thought of her eldest grandson's death, she felt unwilling to accept it.

"I just feel sorry for my unfortunate grandson."

Li Qinghong was helpless, "Mom, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God. We are all responsible for the death of our eldest son, and the second son also cut off all ties with us because of you.

Mother, do you want to tear our family apart?"

Only if you speak more seriously will his mother take it to heart.

The tasks assigned by the higher-ups have not been completed yet, and they still have to rely on Li Juhua to get close to Yang Qingdai. They have just found some clues, and they cannot make things complicated because of his mother.

"Mom, I'm going to go see Ah Hua first. You can see if there's anything our family needs. I'll find a way to get it back tomorrow."

It turned out that Li Laoer also went to chop wood, but who knew he would just go out for a while.

His mother confiscated all of Lao Er's winter food and cash, and wanted to take away all his savings, forcing him to break off relations with Li Lao Er.

His youngest son grew up in Xiaoyangcheng and doesn't know anything yet. Now he is needed to take care of everything in the family.

Even his mother can't make him quiet down.

Li Qinghong dug out a bottle of anti-swelling plaster from the messy, unpacked luggage and went into the house to find Li Juhua.

Carefully apply medicine to her swollen face.

"I'm sorry for wronging you." Li Qinghong's expression was so gentle that water could almost drip out of it. "Thanks to you taking care of the family these years, I can work outside with peace of mind.

Now I am back, I will accompany you and make up for what I owe you over the years."

Li Juhua believed Li Qinghong's words 200%.

"Brother Qing, I believe you." Li Juhua leaned on Li Qinghong's chest, like a little bird. "But Yang Qingdai, that damn girl, is now stubborn and always hits people. I'm afraid I..."

"It's okay, I'm back." Li Qinghong said calmly, "If anything happens in the future, I'll take care of it."

"Brother Qing, you are so nice."

……

"Uncle, have you met Li Qinghong?"

While every household was busy preparing for dinner, Yang Qingdai strolled to Secretary Yang's house, hoping to ask him for help.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed.

"Li Qinghong? The second spring of your estranged mother? I don't know her. I only heard Lao Zhang mention her a few times."

Yang Qingdai handed over a cigarette like a servile person, "What did Uncle Zhang say?"

"According to his description, Li Qinghong is so ordinary that you can't even find him if you throw him into a crowd.

Lao Zhang said that he first met him at your house. He was there to give you something, but you were not at home, so he received Lao Zhang. It was during that encounter that Lao Zhang felt that although Li Qinghong was smiling, he always gave him an indescribable sense of weirdness.

I haven't seen him since. The last time we talked on the phone, he said he was really lucky. Because his eldest son was seriously ill, the whole family went back to their hometown and avoided jail time."

"What? Can he predict the future?"

Yang Qingdai was eating the small cakes that Xie Qiyun specially made for her, and asked Yang Youping with a smile.

"Someone above should have given him some information, asking him to stay out of the spotlight for the time being."

Yang Youping smoked leisurely, "Don't underestimate him. This most inconspicuous person is often the one who stabs you at the most critical moment."

Yang Qingdai has experienced this personally.

Isn't the reason she came here just because she was surrounded by that person who looked honest and inconspicuous?

"Yang Qingshan also said that he had not seen Li Qinghong many times. After hearing what you said, I feel that this person is so elusive. Aren't you curious?"

Yang Youping glanced at her and said, "What's the point of me being curious? He can't leave Qingshan Brigade, so what can I do to him? However, now that he has come to Qingshan Brigade, he is under the jurisdiction of Wang Kangkang and me.

What do you want to know? We can turn a blind eye to "favoritism", just don't make things difficult for the captain."

The three words "captain" were also emphasized.

Yang Qingdai was not convinced, "I didn't make it difficult for him. Do you want to count? Since I came to Qingshan Brigade, he has received many commendations.

If Li Qinghong is the same type of person as them, the captain should thank me."
