Meng Huo soon confirmed the new comic, but after confirmation, he did not take action immediately.

During the period before the Chinese New Year, he and several assistants focused on their work and completed all the serialized comics for the next few weeks, with too many original manuscripts available for one month. Several assistants received a long vacation, and they could enjoy the holidays this month, and Meng Huo was also liberated. While breathing a sigh of relief, on New Year's Eve, he took the high-speed rail back to Qingcheng.

I haven't returned to this small county town for two years. After getting off the bus, Meng Huo breathed the fresh air with some nostalgia. There were also many passengers walking down from him. There were dozens of people. Although Qingcheng was just a small city with hundreds of thousands of people, on New Year's Eve, people from all over China were busy going home.

Walking out of the station, there were many cars parked in the small square in front. When Meng Huo walked towards the bus, a young man wearing glasses suddenly walked to him.

"That, sorry... May I ask, are you Teacher He Xi?"

The young man asked abruptly, Meng Huo was surprised. He now put on a hat and scarf, only half of his face was exposed, but he didn't expect to be recognized.

"Who are you?"

He frowned slightly, but unexpectedly his whereabouts were leaked.

"Ah, it's really you..." The young man's face burst out with joy, then he bent down slightly and handed over a business card: "I am Yang Long from the County Government Secretariat, Teacher He Xi, I'm here to pick you up."

County Government Secretariat - Meng Huo understood in his heart that this guy was waiting for him. However, the car he was riding in could be known in advance by the county government, and someone must have told them. But that person would not be Li Qin, most of his grandparents, or his grandparents told a few uncles, and then it was heard from the county government.

The county government would send someone to pick him up on New Year's Eve. Meng Huo was a little confused. Why did the government look for him? After confirming the authenticity of the business card, Meng Huo pondered for a while, and finally got on the government's public vehicle with Yang Long. Although he wanted to refuse, it was obviously too stupid to offend others directly. Since the county government was looking for him, he would better take a look first.

"Did Teacher He Xi go back to Li Village directly?"

After getting on the bus, Yang Long said this unexpectedly.

"Didn't you ask me for something?" Meng Huo said in surprise.

"That's right, Teacher He Xi is the pride of our Qingcheng. Our county magistrate wants to see you." Yang Long smiled and said, "But today's day is special. The county magistrate said don't disturb you and your family's New Year. I will pick you up and meet him tomorrow, so... Now Teacher He Xi just needs to just say wherever he wants to go."

"Then go back to Li Village first!"

Meng Huo nodded, and his attitude towards the county government showed some good feelings.

Li Village is Li Qin's hometown, not far away, Meng Huo and Yang Long were chatting in the car. When he was passing a section of the road, he found a little surprise. In the past, he had to pass a bumpy dirt road, but this time Meng Huo found that the road leading to the countryside was actually all cement roads.

"This road has finally been repaired and has been used for many years."

Meng Huo sighed that Li Village said that it had been said to build roads for many years, but the government only paid a portion of the money, and the rest had to be collected by the villagers. The village was not rich. Moreover, the original dirt roads were still useful. Some people felt that there was no need to build cement roads, and the cost of building roads was not smoothly collected.

He remembered that it would take a few years in his previous life, and the new road could not be repaired when the road was dilapidated. Unexpectedly, the world was ahead of schedule.

"This road was ordered by the county government last year." Yang Long looked at the flat road and smiled: "We thought Teacher He Xi would come back last year, and I want to give you a surprise."

Surprise? This sentence surprised Meng Huo. This road was repaired by the government! And it was to create surprise for him!? He frowned slightly. He had to make a decision. The Qingcheng County Government's actions were obviously to make a good decision with him, and I don't know what requests would be made in the end.

"There shouldn't be any big attempt?"

Meng Huo secretly thought about the government's purpose, and Yang Long was also observing Meng Huo, nodding in his heart.

"I am worthy of being Teacher He Xi, mature and steady, and I don't look like a high school student at all."

He knew that Meng Huo had discovered the government's intention. However, he was not worried. The Qingcheng County Government attached great importance to Meng Huo, but he did not mean to him.

This matter starts with the positioning of Qingcheng County itself, which is a small county town in the mainland. It has a low reputation and is relatively backward in economic development. However, now the high-speed rail has achieved full coverage in China. From the perspective of transportation, each county town has the potential to make the economy take off rapidly. Now that the competition in cities is fierce and the proportion of transportation factors has decreased, the key development factor is now - advertising.

Let others pay attention to you and let others know about this place. As long as you make your reputation and have convenient transportation, Qingcheng County can attract the investment and development of merchants. In the eyes of the Qingcheng County government, "Cartoonist He Xi" is a golden signboard and a key target for excavation.

He Xi is an idol of young people. He himself and comics have a great influence. If he can advertise for Qingcheng, or even describe the city in the comics, millions of people will see it, which is more effective than the county government spending huge amounts of money on advertising investment. Moreover, He Xi has strong financial resources. If he invests in and builds a factory in Qingcheng County, he can also create many jobs.

"This opportunity is rare. You must serve this little ancestor well..." Yang Long thought, if Meng Huo was happy these two days and he asked him to agree to the county magistrate's request, Yang Long would have made a political contribution. Even if he did nothing, the leaders would look at him with admiration.

"If Teacher He Xi makes more requests, I will show my abilities. If he can still praise me in front of the county magistrate... My promotion is not a dream..."

Yang Long felt hot, but unfortunately Meng Huo didn't know what the young man was thinking. After arriving in Li Village, he immediately said 'goodbye' to Yang Long, who was emitting light with his eyes, "Give me something to help me." Then he walked into the village in a somewhat stunned look.

On New Year's Eve, the village was very lively, and every household was full of people, and some women bathed their children in the sun. They all saw Meng Huo and were a little stunned when they saw him carrying two bags of things.

"Who is that?"

"Wearing a hat and scarf, I can't tell, but I'm very young, I probably am not from the village..."

"Whose relatives of the family come to visit during the New Year?"

These women were talking in a low voice. Meng Huo's ears were very sharp. He heard it, but he was not familiar with these people, so he didn't say anything and soon walked to his grandmother's house. But when he walked, he suspected that he was dazzled. The house of his grandmother's house had been renovated. The floor was covered with cement and the walls were painted again and turned white.

"Does the county government even help with this?"

Meng Huo thought a little ache, but soon shook his head. How could the county government take such an obvious biased action? Most of the money was paid by Li Qin.

"Mom is really..."

Meng Huo was a little helpless. He asked Li Qin to give gifts and money to his grandparents during the Chinese New Year and holidays, and each time he had 1,000 Chinese coins. The amount was not large, but it should be very amazing in the entire village of Qingcheng County. The old couple had several sons who respected him, and Meng Huo couldn't give too much to make his uncles lose face.

However, he gave Li Qin a lot of money, and Li Qin always saved money. He said that he wanted to save the money for Meng Huocheng's family. Meng Huo wanted her to learn to live a better life, so he set her the obligation to spend at least 60,000 yuan a year. The concept of 60,000 yuan is considered an ordinary consumption in Ninghai. Li Qin did it. Meng Huo was a little happy at first, but when he went home, it seemed something was wrong...

"She took all the money back to her hometown!"

Meng Huo was so funny that no wonder he found that nothing had changed when he returned to Ninghai. The furniture was the same, and it had not increased. Li Qin didn't spend money in Ninghai at all. Apart from buying vegetables and eating, she occasionally went out with other neighbors to buy clothes and go shopping, and never did anything else. Moreover, over the years, Li Qin's clothes have not increased to ten pieces, and she went out shopping without buying them. Vegetables were also grown in the yard...

Ah, by the way, she would be generous when she was with Shen Jie. However, Shen Jie also has income now, so she consumed very little - think about it carefully. Li Qin basically has no place to spend money every month except for the water and electricity bills. She gave all the money to her relatives in her hometown?

"It's so simple, mom..."

Meng Huo felt a little distressed, but he still took off his scarf, smiled and walked in.

"Grandpa and grandma, mom, I'm back!"

His voice caused a sensation in the room. When Meng Huo walked in, he saw people crowded with them, several uncles, aunts, and children, all here. When he saw him back, the group of people was so excited. He poured tea and water, just like Meng Huo was the master.

"Menghuo, we're waiting for you!"

"Sit here quickly. I haven't seen you for several years. Let my aunt see how much you have grown up..."

"Last time my uncle went to your house to see it, why are you not at home?"

"Old man, Meng Huo is a big shot now. He is very busy. How can you be as free as you!"

"Yes, Meng Huo, I heard that you became the president of a company in the Far East District? Is it true..."

People in the room were lying around Meng Huo for concern. Meng Huo was not in such a situation when he came home the previous year. He was a little flattered. However, in the past two years, he is now better at dealing with others, so he quickly became a group of relatives with a smile.

However, what he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. After knowing that he had returned, the whole village was sensational, and people kept coming to join in the fun. In the end, the old house could not be squeezed out, so Meng Huo had to sit outside and talk nonsense with the elders who had seen him but had almost never met.

He felt that this was a more tiring thing than work. He had known it, so he would have followed Xu Jing's advice and brought his assistant over.

Because sometimes, it's really hard for him to deal with, for example...

"Menghuo, do you still remember my stupid son? The one I often played with when I was a child. This child didn't go to junior high school anymore. Now he works in a factory in Xiangjiang. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and is hard and tired. He doesn't have much money... Hey, is it okay to bring this child in? He has no other things, so he must have a lot of strength!"

An elder wanted Meng Huo to find a job for his son. Meng Huo glanced at the boy who was dressed up in a casual manner. He was indeed his childhood playmate, but he was not a good playmate.

"Auntie, we are a comic company and we don't have to work hard."

Meng Huo said tactfully.

"Comics companies, comics don't need physical strength? Security guards, security guards must do this!"

The elders were pestering each other, and there were many other people who wanted to find a job. Many people came out to ask about this, and the younger generation stared at him with their eyes. Meng Huo had no choice but to be helpless. When he was almost unable to hold on, Li Qin came out to help him in the end. She turned against all requests for job search with a slight face.

For a whole day, Li Qin protected Meng Huo like an eagle, and persuaded all the people who made things difficult for him to leave. She was so touched. Meng Huo was very moved. Li Qin had a much deeper relationship with the village than him, but she would rather be swearing bad things behind the scenes than protect herself. This feeling has not been felt by Meng Huo for a long time.

"Mom..." After dinner, when the guests left one after another and calmed down again, Meng Huo walked to the kitchen and bent down to Li Qin who was squatting on the ground washing dishes: "Thank you today."

"What did you say!" Li Qin's face turned slightly red: "I am your mother, these things should be done, and... you should hate those children very much."

Her eyes were dim and she would go out to help Meng Huo today because she knew that Meng Huo didn't like those peers.

This matter starts from a long time ago. After giving birth to Meng Huo, Li Qin wanted to raise him in the countryside. Although there would inevitably be a lot of gossip, the pressure of raising children in the countryside would not be too great. But to Li Qin's surprise, the whole village's surname was Li, and Meng Huo was the only one with Meng. All the children did not play with him, and even isolated him and bullied him.

"Wild Child" - this is the nickname that Li Qin often hears. When Meng Huo was born, he was a cheerful and optimistic child, but when he learned about the matter, he was discriminated against and became taciturn.

Li Qin always thought it was her fault, so she took her son to the county town, doing all kinds of odd jobs and raising him after all kinds of hardships, but she didn't want him to be bullied by other children.

"That's all very small things, I don't hate them anymore."

Meng Huo let go of his hand, squatted on the ground and smiled, "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been like this."

From the previous life, Meng Huo was thinking that he was so introverted and cowardly, perhaps because he had heard too much gossip around him when he was young, but he didn't hate those people at all now. It was because of these experiences that Meng Huo understood Li Qin's love for him. He wanted to return this love to Li Qin, and she might not be successful in any way, but she was undoubtedly the best in her mother's responsibility.

"Okay, mom, go and rest, I'll just wash it!"

"No! Don't make trouble, you kid, get out of the way. Your hands have to be drawn. What if you get hurt!"

"Just wash dishes, not that exaggerated..."
