Early the next morning, I called Jiang Tao and told him that I had returned to Dongshan County.
Today happened to be Saturday and Jiang Tao didn't have to go to work, so we made an appointment to meet.
After An Lan got up, I took her to see Jiang Tao.
We were in a steamed bun shop having breakfast, and Jiang Tao had already ordered steamed buns waiting for us.
After meeting, I introduced them both.
After the two met, Jiang Tao started chatting with An Lan about my identity.
"I really didn't expect Dashan's true identity to be so powerful, but the achievements he has made in our county are obvious to all."
I said with a sneer: "County Magistrate Jiang, please don't praise me. If it weren't for your help, these things I do would not be possible at all!"
Jiang Tao sighed again: "I can't help you find your true identity, but I can't bear to let you go."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Jiang, I won't go anywhere until things here are stable."
Jiang Tao also said with a smile: "I am satisfied with your words, but Dashan, you have your own life, and I can't force others to do anything."
"How can this be forced on others? The things I do here must have a beginning and an end. This is my decision."
An Lan said at this time: "This is good. When you do something, you have to have a beginning and an end. You don't have to worry about the company. It's stable now, and I'm here."
We just ate and chatted. After breakfast, Jiang Tao followed us to the town.
After two hours of driving, we finally arrived at the village.
I asked An Lan to park the car at the entrance of the village. My cabin was in the field in front of me.
As soon as I got off the car, my little yellow dog ran towards me wagging its tail, spinning back and forth in front of me, wagging its tail non-stop.
I knelt down and touched Da Huang’s head, and said, “Da Huang, do you miss me?”
Rhubarb growled at me twice. An Lan asked me very confused when he saw this: "What did you call it?"
"Rhubarb! That's what local dogs call." I answered An Lan while teasing Rhubarb.
An Lan smiled and said, "This is obviously a puppy, why is it called Dahuang?"
Yes, Rhubarb is indeed just a puppy. I picked it up at the garbage station in the countryside some time ago.
I said to An Lan again: "Don't look at him now, he will grow up in the future. If he is called Xiao Huang, he will not sound domineering."
An Lan smiled again and stopped arguing with me.
On the side, Jiang Tao pointed to the vast orchards and introduced them to An Lan: "Mr. An, did you see them all along the way when we came here? The grape seedlings planted on these lands are all the work of Dashan."
I stood up and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Jiang, what you said is wrong. This is obviously the credit of all our villagers, how can it be the credit of just me?"
Jiang Tao smiled and said: "If it weren't for you, would this place be like this?"
Jiang Tao said, and then hurriedly said to An Lan: "Mr. An, let me tell you, Brother Dashan is amazing. We used to be very backward here and still retained many old habits, but Brother Dashan just changed these old habits.
It also broke down the boundaries of the land and allowed the villagers to start orchards together."
An Lan glanced at the surrounding orchards, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I heard him say it before, and he also said that tourism projects are being developed here."
"Yes, this was also proposed by Dashan, and now it has been decided by the city."
As Jiang Tao spoke, he suddenly sighed again: "Da Shan! He is really an amazing person. He has made such a poor place slowly become rich. This is a great achievement!"
An Lan looked at me, his eyes full of joy.
Actually, I don't really think I'm that great, I just did what I should do.
At the same time, it’s Jiang Tao’s spirit that keeps encouraging me, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do it.
At this time, several villagers passed by and saw us, and they greeted County Magistrate Jiang and me enthusiastically.
However, they didn't recognize An Lan and were all talking about him.
I continued to take Jiang Tao and An Lan to the fields for a while. Jiang Tao suddenly received a call and told us that we had to go back to the county for something.
After we saw off Jiang Tao, I also planned to take An Lan to meet the Cheng Xiaohu brothers.
When I was about to tell her, she took the initiative and said to me: "By the way, please take me to meet the people who saved you. I have to thank them properly."
I smiled and said, "I was just about to say I would take you to see them, but you just said it."
An Lan also laughed and said, "This is called telepathy."
On the way to take An Lan to Cheng Xiaohu's house, we happened to pass by my cabin again, so I immediately took An Lan to the cabin.
I said to her: "Have you seen this little house? This is where I live now."
She looked into the cabin and said with a surprised look on her face: "You live here?"
"That's right! This cabin was built for me by the villagers, isn't it good?"
An Lan was not as happy as I imagined, and even looked a little disappointed. She said to me in a deep voice: "I have wronged you. I should have found you earlier."
"Why are you aggrieved? No, I chose to live here by myself, and it's really good. If you don't believe me, why don't you go and feel it on my bed?"
She hesitated for a moment, then actually walked into the cabin and sat on my little bed covered with withered grass.
Her clothes and her temperament really didn't match this cabin at all. She looked very out of place, as if a princess had come to a slum.
But An Lan didn't look so noble. She even moved a few times on the bed.
"How are you? Are you comfortable?" I asked her with a smile.
She suddenly sighed and said, "I didn't expect that your conditions would be so difficult. How can anyone live in a place like this? It's true."
"Why can't people live in it? Don't look down on my small wooden house. It can shelter from the wind and rain. It's also quite warm to sleep at night."
An Lan didn't speak anymore. Her mood didn't look particularly good, and I didn't know what was wrong with her.
After standing there stunned for a while, I said to her: "Let's go, I will take you to meet my brother and sister."
She stood up from the little bed, but stood there and looked at my little wooden house again, and said with a hint of distress: "I can't imagine how you have spent the past six months. I really should have gone earlier."
find you."
I waved my hand and said to her: "Why are you blaming yourself? No one blames you. I told you that I live a good life here. You may not think this cabin is good, but to me, this is
my darling."
An Lan finally said nothing more and followed me towards the village.
After taking An Lan into the village, some villagers asked me: "Da Shan, who is the sister with you?"
