Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 342 Realism

The arrival of new educated youth added a lot of new excitement to the construction team.

During the period before the land thawed, the ladies would come to the educated youth site from time to time under the pretext of taking a stroll after dinner.

Because of these aunts, He Chongwen could only suppress his anxiety and wait patiently for the right opportunity.

But he could wait, but the people on the mountain were not willing to wait. They had finally tricked them here, and at such a critical moment, He Chongwen never took the initiative to go up the mountain to visit them. Not only was Cheng Zitao extremely anxious, but his grandfather was also extremely worried.

Grandpa Cheng took advantage of the fact that it was still early and took his grandson out for a walk.

The grandfather and grandson walked forward aimlessly, and only spoke after they were sure that there was no one around.

"You've read the newspaper. Those two old guys have been rehabilitated. Taotao, you have to hurry up. Grandpa is old, and I don't know when he can return to work. How much time I have left to pave the way for you..." Grandpa Cheng spoke earnestly. His tone was steady and seemingly unhurried, but who could not fail to see the urgency revealed in his words.

Cheng Zitao was also worried about this. Why did he have to endure so much hardship to accompany his grandfather to the countryside? Wasn't it just for the things in the old man's hands?

Old Master Cheng was once a professor of language Y at the university, and he was also the one with the best and most glorious job in the entire Cheng family. Although he was demoted, he still had a sense of luck in his heart. After all, the development of a country can never be separated from scholars. He regarded himself as temporarily dormant, waiting for the future.

Cheng Zitao also believed that his grandfather would be able to return to school. As the most filial grandson to his grandfather, even if his grades were not good, he would definitely achieve something.

As for why these two people were so sure that they could be rehabilitated and return to the city, it was because of He Chongwen.

When Cheng Zitao first discovered that He Chongwen had that kind of feeling for him, he felt disgusted and wanted to break off relations with him. But the unexpected happened even faster. The university was closed, the professors were demoted, and his home was ransacked by those damned little hooligans.

Before Cheng Zitao had the chance to vent his anger towards He Chongwen, he decided to take a gamble based on his father's advice and followed his grandfather to the construction team.

But Cheng Zitao is uneducated and unskilled. Apart from having a good-looking appearance, he is really the kind of person who can't do anything.

The grandfather was very angry. He was angry that his grandson was not doing well, and he was also angry that his son was so opinionated that he actually left the eldest grandson to him, leaving him in a dilemma now.

What else could Cheng Zitao do? He could only study hard, learning how to farm, how to fetch water, and how to reclaim wasteland. He was so tired every day that he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down, but he still did not get the recognition of his grandfather.

Cheng Zitao was filled with hatred in his heart. He had never suffered so much before, but the current situation was not something he could change, so he could only accept it.

Days passed one by one, and suddenly one day, he received a letter with money inside.

Grandpa Cheng's attitude changed from that moment on.

He didn't expect that his useless grandson actually knew a friend with such a powerful background, He Chongwen. He remembered that the son of Director He of the Education Bureau was named He Chongwen. He had the honor of meeting that weak little boy who could write well once.

How could such a smart child have anything to do with his grandson? But it didn't matter. What mattered was that he saw hope! A hope that could allow him to return to the city early.

"Grandpa, I will find a way to meet him as soon as possible." He really needed to meet him. He had no money left. He Chongwen had never sent him money since he signed up to go to the countryside. This resulted in him being penniless before the New Year. He didn't even have money to buy more food. He and his grandfather struggled to get by with the subsidies from other elderly people.

Grandpa Cheng nodded, "Taotao, although we need to borrow the power of the He family boy, you should not feel inferior to others. You are equal, and the mentality is very important when interacting with others. Or, you can find a chance to have a good talk with him in the future. I believe he will understand you. After all, our current situation is also worthy of sympathy, isn't it?"

Grandpa Cheng originally did not fully understand the relationship between He Chongwen and his grandson. He thought they were very good friends, so he did not want his grandson to be at a disadvantage when dealing with the other party just because he needed help from the other party. This would not be conducive to long-term development.

However, He Chongwen made the decision to go to the countryside for Cheng Zitao, which made Grandpa Cheng feel uneasy.

What kind of relationship could make people disregard their own interests and travel thousands of miles to the border to suffer in the countryside?

Cheng Zitao was disdainful in his heart, inferior? Who should be inferior? Of course it's that pervert! He Chongwen, that psychopath, is the one who should be despised and laughed at! If he hadn't known what was good for him and sent me money, and his family background was strong and he could help me a little, I wouldn't care about him! It's so disgusting!

Seeing Cheng Zitao silent, Grandpa Cheng frowned slightly and sighed in his heart. He originally thought that his grandson was a talented person. After all, he was able to become friends with such a promising child. As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. There must be some truth in that, doesn't it?

But after so many years together, he finally gave up this ridiculous idea. His grandson is nothing like him. He is shallow and ignorant, a complete idiot. Grandpa Cheng doesn't understand why his own son can't do it, and his grandson can't do it either. Why?

"Taotao, we can't afford to offend the He family." Since you can't get along well with the other party, then be a little respectful and don't irritate He Chongwen, otherwise in the end, not only you will suffer, but also your family. Grandpa Cheng can only say this, after all, this grandson can no longer be taught well.

Cheng Zitao's face suddenly turned dark, and after a long time he responded in a muffled voice, indicating that he had heard it.

Of course, the He family is not easy to mess with. There are countless people in the family working in government agencies. Although they may not be high-ranking officials, it is easy for them to deal with a small black five categories like him.

After the grandfather and grandson finished talking, they slowly walked back to the cowshed.

The cabin outside the cowshed had been demolished, and the wooden boards were divided up among the villagers. If they hadn't remembered that someone had lived there before, perhaps no one would have noticed any difference.

Cheng Zitao looked at the little grasses that had already sprouted out, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Although Lin Zhiqing's personality was a bit hard to describe, he was indeed good at applying fertilizer.
