Li Hua drove the jeep and took the two of them to a small restaurant and ordered a few dishes. Halfway through the meal, Li Hua said apologetically, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." After that, he got up and walked out.

, Li Hua saw that Shi Dayong was going to pay for the treat. He had already said that he wanted to treat two people to dinner, and he was embarrassed to let others pay for it, so he excused himself to go to the bathroom and prepared to settle the bill first.

Li Hua's move coincided with Shi Dayong's thought. It wasn't that Shi Dayong also wanted to go to the bathroom, but that he wanted to take advantage of Li Hua's opportunity to go to the bathroom to settle the bill. When Li Hua's back was no longer visible, Shi Dayong said to Zhang Qiang

: "I'll go check out."

As expected, the two met at the bar. When Shi Dayong walked up to him, Li Hua had already started to put the change into his pocket.

"Comrade Li." He arrived a step late. Shi Dayong was anxious and walked over quickly, "How can I let you treat me? I'll do it."

"Master Shi, don't be polite. You came all the way here and let me do my best as a landlord." Li Hua smiled nonchalantly and pulled Shi Dayong back.

Shi Dayong didn't know how to express it, "How do you say this? It's my turn to ask you. You have helped us so much. It's not an exaggeration to say you are a benefactor. I don't know how to thank you."

Okay, I originally wanted to treat you to a meal to express my feelings, but look, you settled the bill again."

"Isn't it just a meal? I'll make you worried." Li Hua pushed Shi Dayong back to his seat, "Master Shi, don't say such things as a benefactor and not a benefactor. That's my job. If you really deserve it,

Those who are grateful should be Zhao Liangsheng’s family. They don’t say anything about their children. You will know when you meet them.”

"Of course, that's for sure." Shi Dayong nodded repeatedly.

After eating, the three of them sat and rested for a while. Shi Dayong really couldn't sit still anymore. He kept moving on the bench as if he had a nail in his butt.

Li Hua also noticed it and stood up while grabbing the key, "Master Shi, Master Zhang, let's go right now."

"Okay." Shi Dayong ran faster than a rabbit. Before he finished speaking, the man was already standing three steps away. Fortunately, despite his anxiety, there were still many people. "Comrade Li," he said, "This is the first time I'm here.

It’s not good to go empty-handed, please take me to a store and I’ll buy something.”

After Shi Ke entered the second grade, Teacher Wang directly appointed her as a student and also became a squadron leader.

The three children in the family, especially Shi Ke and Zhao Chen, are the pride of Zhao Liangsheng and his wife. Whenever they talk about it, their faces always light up.

After the children went to school, the couple prepared to tidy up the vegetable patch in the yard together. Summer vegetables were out of season, so it was the time to plant radishes and Chinese cabbage.

Zhao Liangsheng was responsible for turning up the ground with his head, while Yan Siqin used a rake to level the soil. Although the sun in early autumn was not as hot as in summer, after working for a while, he was exhausted and sweating all over.

The child was found, which was a great joy for Shi Dayong, but for Yan Siqin and his wife, it was a sad event of separation.

"Strong daddy." Yan Siqin wiped his sweat, "I always feel anxious today, as if something has happened. You must pay attention to safety when you go out..."

Zhao Liangsheng kept waving the bow in his hand, "You superstitious egg, what's the matter with you?"

As the target got closer, Shi Dayong became more and more excited. He pursed his lips tightly and stared at the passing scenery outside without saying a word. Li Hua introduced the surrounding environment to the two of them while driving.

, the car stopped in front of a courtyard, "Okay, we're here."

Li Hua turned off the car, turned half sideways and said to the two people in the back seat, "This is it."

This is the place where the child has lived for more than three years. Shi Dayong looked around. This small courtyard is at the outermost edge of the entire village. From the outside, the courtyard covers a large area. Not far from the courtyard, there is a small but green building.

The hill, because it is very close to the mountain, you can hear the clucking of hens coming from the mountain.

The door is ajar, and you can still faintly hear voices. There are people inside.

Shi Dayong had been looking forward to seeing the child as soon as possible, but when he arrived at the gate, he hesitated. He didn't know how to face the child's adoptive parents. He learned from Li Hua that Zhao Liangsheng and his wife were very upright and kind-hearted people.

Keke was treated with heartfelt love. For more than a thousand days and nights, the Zhao family's hard work could not be expressed with a simple thank you. Nor could he just say, "I am the biological father of the child."

He came to take the child away, he couldn't say it, he wanted to compensate the Zhao family.

Shi Dayong looked at Zhang Qiang with pleading eyes, "Brother Zhang, give me whatever money you have in your pocket. Lend it to me first, and I'll return it to you when you get home."

When Zhang Qiang saw that Shi Dayong was asking him to borrow money, he instantly understood what Shi Dayong meant. He dug out his money and said, "I estimate I have two hundred. When I was leaving, your sister-in-law forced me to pay one hundred, saying that she was from a poor family but was rich."

I'm worried that I won't have enough money. You said we'll take care of food and housing on the construction site, so where can I get the money?"

Zhang Qiang took out a wad of RMB from his underwear pocket and counted it, "There are really more than two hundred. I'll give you two hundred. We'll need the rest on the way back."

Shi Dayong took out his wallet and counted it, "I have more than a hundred dollars here." He muttered, "If I had known, I would have brought more with me when I went out." After saying that, he found three hundred yuan and put it in his pocket.

.

Calculating that there was nothing missing, Shi Dayong patted his pockets and looked at Li Hua, "Okay, let's go."

Li Hua had always noticed Shi Dayong's actions, but he didn't say much. In this matter, he could not give Shi Dayong any advice or make decisions for Zhao Liangsheng.

Li Hua got out of the car first. When Shi Dayong came down with his big and small bags, the three of them stood at the door together. Li Hua raised his index finger and knocked on the door a few times, "Bang bang bang."

When the door is ajar, neighbors in the village will know that there is someone in the yard when they come to visit. They will not knock on the door. When the door is opened, a loud voice will be heard at the same time. Such a polite knock on the door must not be from the village.

"Mom, we have a guest." Zhao Liangsheng held on to the handle and said, "Go and see who it is."

"Who is it?" Yan Siqin put the rake up on the fence, pulled a towel from the clothesline and beat the soil on his body as he walked.

Li Hua responded loudly: "Brother Zhao, I, Li Hua."

"Oh, Captain Li is here." Zhao Liangsheng stopped being dissatisfied and hurriedly came out to greet him.

Not only was today not a day off, it was also work time. Li Hua, a busy man, rarely came to her home at this time.

Yan Siqin opened the door with joy on his face, but some doubts in his eyes, "Captain Li, why are you free to come here at this time?" Then she looked at the stranger behind Li Hua, "These two are..."

"Sister-in-law, let's talk in the house."

"Oh, please come quickly." Yan Siqin hurriedly stepped aside and warmly invited the three people in.

When she passed Yan Siqin, Shi Dayong nodded gratefully to her, which made Yan Siqin even more confused. This tall and handsome man looked at her with something wrong, as if he had given him a lot of money.

Zhao Liangsheng had just finished washing his hands in the basin. When he saw the three people, he didn't have time to wipe his hands clean, so he wiped them on his body and said, "Captain Li." Then he looked at Shi Dayong and his two men, who were carrying large and small luggage.

I thought to myself: Could it be that Captain Li was taking someone to visit relatives and passing by my place?

Li Hua didn't see any children, so he asked casually, "Where are the children?"

"Go to school." Zhao Liangsheng replied: "Let's sit in the room." After saying that, he turned to Yan Siqin and said, "Mother Chen, hurry up and pour tea for the guests."

Li Hua nodded and followed Zhao Liangsheng into the house. From the yard to the door, Shi Dayong's complicated eyes kept staring at Zhao Liangsheng.

Sometimes people's sixth sense is still very keen. Zhao Liangsheng directly felt two burning eyes staring at him. He pretended to look over casually. Sure enough, the tall man looked away unnaturally for a moment when he couldn't see past him.

Out of sight.

"Brother Zhao, let me explain it to you." He first introduced Zhang Qiang, who was nearest to him, "This is Master Zhang."

Zhang Qiang took the initiative to hold Zhao Liangsheng's right hand and said, "My name is Zhang Qiang."

"My name is Zhao Liangsheng." The two of them gently clasped their hands.

Li Hua pointed to Shi Dayong standing next to him, "This is Master Shi."

Shi Dayong hurriedly put the things in his hands to his feet, took two steps forward, and held Zhao Liangsheng's right hand tightly with both hands, "Brother Zhao, my name is Shi Dayong."

When he heard the name Shi Dayong, Zhao Liangsheng didn't take it seriously at first. The main reason was that it had been too long and he had forgotten that Shi Ke had once said that his father's name was Shi Dayong. Moreover, for fear of Shi Ke being sad, Zhao Liangsheng never mentioned it.

Things of the past.

This man was too enthusiastic. This was Zhao Liangsheng's first impression of Shi Dayong, "Sit down, sit down. The house is simple, don't dislike it."

There was a brief silence in the atmosphere, and no one knew how to speak. At this moment, the return of Little Ba Bao broke the silence. He did not expect that there were so many people at home. Little Ba Bao, who had just returned home, was startled.

Some of them flew straight to Zhao Liangsheng's shoulders.

When Zhang Qiang saw this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at Xiao Ba Dao and said, "Oh, Brother Zhao, aren't the sparrows here afraid of people?"

Zhao Liangsheng raised his left arm and tapped twice on the back of his hand. Little Ba Dao immediately flew to the back of Zhao Liangsheng's hand and stood there. Zhao Liangsheng used his right index finger to gently follow Little Ba Dao's shiny gray hair and said with a smile:

"Raised by three children, he understands human nature."

"This bird is not easy to raise." Zhang Qiang smacked his lips, "I raised one when I was a child, but none of them survived more than three days."

"But it's not easy to raise. It came into the house as soon as it hatched. This one of the three birds survived, and it made my daughter cry." Zhao Liangsheng said about his daughter, his face full of doting.

"Ahem." Li Hua coughed twice and was about to tell Zhao Liangsheng the origins of these two people, "Um, um, Brother Zhao, we have something to discuss with you this time." It was really hard to say, but he didn't say it.
