When Li Mazi and I returned to boss Guo's house again, it was more than 2 o'clock in the late night - originally, we both tried our best to refuse, so late to visit again, and harassing their family to have a rest was a little too much.

But boss Guo said, "we have come all the way to Shanxi. Shuimi has been busy until now. If we don't even have a meal, he will be even more upset.". Moreover, he has asked his wife to take his daughter back to his mother's house, and his son and Xiao Xu to live in the company, leaving the house empty so as to entertain us well.

Let's have a look. It's really a disappointment to boss Guo!

Besides, this man has no shelf like a rich man. He is kind and easy-going just like an old friend he has known for a long time. So we had to be more deferential than obedient.

As soon as he entered the door, boss Guo pulled the apron beside the shoe rack and told us, "just sit for a moment, I'll be ready right away." Then head into the kitchen.

Although Li Mazi also knew that boss Guo was very simple, he was surprised when he saw the house.

But whether it's Xu Guangsheng's antique palace, Lin Feng's European style villa, or Liu Yang's Riverside villa, compared with this ordinary and amazing house, they all lack a kind of homelike feeling.

In the kitchen, the dishes and spoons collided and tinkled, and a smell of vegetables came out from time to time.

As soon as Pockmarked Li smelt the fragrance, he immediately swallowed.

"Well, I'll help you if you have a rest." Pockmarked Li said and rushed into the kitchen.

I know that this guy is Mingli's help. In fact, he steals two mouthfuls in order to satisfy his appetite.

But I can't run in too - it's not proper to spend the first time in the kitchen before waiting for the table.

However, I've been hungry for a long time, and I smell such a strong fragrance. Where can I sit? So I put my hands on my back and looked around to distract myself.

Boss Guo's home is very common and simple.

A set of slightly old leather sofa, black walnut pressed glass tea table, and a sundry shelf beside the opposite TV wall.

There are several books and other interesting gadgets on the top.

I had a rough look at it last time, especially the lettering on that small tea cup. Turning around, I was attracted by a picture again.

This is the most common family photo!

In the middle of the picture, sitting a fat old man and a slightly younger boss Guo and his wife, Guo Xiaguo Fang is only six or seven years old, one left and one right leaning on the old man.

The whole family is smiling, showing a full sense of happiness.

It can be seen from his face that the old man must be boss Guo's father.

What attracted me was the pendant on his father's neck.

is as like as two peas in Huang Dawang's hands.

It seems that there is nothing special about it. There is a crystal like a tear on a copper chain.

But I've seen it with my own eyes. It's not a common thing, but a thing of ten great virtues.

What is shishidade?

It's the good people who have done good deeds for generations and generations.

It's a strange thing that a person only does good things and doesn't do bad things in his whole life, but it's like this for ten generations in succession. It's really not easy!

Such people will bring their own blessings. They are like walking Maitreya Buddha.

If you have helped such a person, the accumulated Yin virtue is even more amazing. Otherwise, I have violated the rules of Yin merchants several times before, and all the Yin debts I owe will be written off!

"Dinner!" At this time, boss Guo came out of the kitchen with two dishes.

"Boss Guo, excuse me, is this my father?" I asked, pointing to the picture.

"Yes." Boss Guo nodded and said, "I passed away a few years ago."

"Then this chain..."

"He has been carrying it with him since I can remember it, until he passed it to me on his deathbed and said that he would pass it to Guo Fang later. Why, it's still a treasure that can't be made? " Boss Guo smiled, then said regretfully, "there was an accident in the construction site the year before last. When I went to the site to deal with it, I lost it in a mess."

Speaking of this, he shook his head helplessly and said with a long sigh: "Hey, don't mention this, Master Zhang, come and sit down. Try my craft! " Said, and returned to the kitchen.

Lost it in the construction site? It seems to be right.

Zhao honestly said that the chain was what he found in the construction site?

That is to say, boss Guo is the great man who has accumulated ten generations of merits and virtues!

After a while, boss Guo went in and out several times. The delicious food filled a large table.

Pockmarked Li came out of the kitchen rubbing his greasy hand, and said to me: "come and have a taste, boss Guo's skill is really good! I think this mouth has grown white before. ""Ha ha..." "Master Li can really talk," said boss Guo, laughing as he drank a beer! Come on, I don't want to say any thanks and nonsense today. Let's just get drunk. "

The food is very common, there is no rare game, no precious ingredients, and even the dishes are not very eye-catching. But just like boss Guo, he is ordinary, simple and plain, with a refreshing fragrance that makes people feel comfortable.

Soon, under the three of us pushing cups for a change, the whole table of food was wiped out by more than half, and Pockmarked Li was only burping and said: "nice! With this meal, Shanxi is not in vain! If only I could eat more. "

"Ha ha..." Boss Guo laughed: "Master Li, if you like, you may as well live a few more days, just as my recent projects are all in downtime, there is time."

Hearing this, I immediately thought of the first phase of the project he mentioned when I met him for the first time.

"Lao Guo, we all know that the reason why the new residential area has to be shut down is that we need to dig ancient tombs first. But what about the first phase of tunnel project? Why can't we start. " I asked.

"Oh, don't mention it!" As soon as boss Guo heard about this, he couldn't help but pour another cup of spirits: "in order to get through this tunnel, I have been fully prepared for more than ten years, and then earlier said that when I went to school, I wanted to make a hole in this mountain and pave a road out..."

"Why is it so poor here? Isn't it just because the path is blocked and too remote?"

"We are close to Hebei Province, not far from Beijing. But all the highways and railways go around here. In the early years, large quantities of vegetables and fruits could not be transported even if they rotted to the ground. After a long year's hard work, the farmers could only sit in the ground and cry! Although it's better now, it's also because of the relationship between transportation cost and time. Going out to work, study and see a doctor have all become difficult problems. This mountain is dead to block the lifeblood of the whole county! If we don't get through this tunnel, the whole county will be poor forever! A lifetime of pain. "

"This is my dream for many years! The reason why I do this is not to earn how much money and become a millionaire, but to find a way for the whole county! But Ah. " With that, boss Guo sighed again.
