92 Warm Welcome (2/2)
Zhang Xiaohua smiled helplessly and was about to say something. But at this moment, a white-haired old lady suddenly rushed out of the crowd, holding Zhang Xiaohua's hand tightly and holding a basket of corn on her arm. In the turbid eyes, tears were swaying, gratefully staring at Zhang Xiaohua as she trembled: ”You're a great man, this old lady isn't good with words but I thank you from the bottom of my heart, thanks to you my grandson will be able to go to school. We haven't got much but please take this corn from our farm!”
Zhang Xiaohua was really flattered this time. He quickly returned a basket of corn to the grandmother. He smiled and said: ”Grandma, I just did what I had to do. It's really no big deal. You should never be so polite. Keep the corns for yourself.”
The old lady was even more anxious, seeing Zhang Xiaohua rejecting the corn she explained in a hurry: ”The corn is supper fresh straight of the stalk, not even peeled yet, you can take it home rest a.s.sured.”
”...”
Zhang Xiaohua was helpless.
Zhang Xiaohua took the basket full of corn, and used the sleeves of his s.h.i.+rt to gently help the old lady to wipe away the tears in her eyes. She smiled and said: ”Well, I have said my piece. I need to hurry back and cook lunch.”
But she still held onto Zhang Xiaohua's hand tightly. It was as if she had just reunited with her long lost grandson. Her line of sight unwilling to move away from Zhang Xiaohua's face for a moment.
Zhang Xiaohua also continued to hold on to the grandmother, always smiling, looking innocent.
Here, Zhang Xiaohua saw the simplicity and honesty of these people and felt inexplicable warmth. It was as if these folks were his relatives. Zhang Xiaohua always felt a sense of security from his heart when he was here.
At this time, the villagers flocked and Zhang Xiaohua was surrounded in a moment. Everyone had a basket in their hands, filled with eggs, flour, rice, fruits and other foods, and pleaded with Zhang Xiaohua to accept it. For these villagers, this was the only way they could express their grat.i.tude to Zhang Xiaohua.
Since it was the mind of the villagers, Zhang Xiaohua could only greet them one by one. Zhou Yi and several villagers helped Zhang Xiaohua put the things on a big truck and finally, when it became full, their car was brought up, ready to help Zhang Xiaohua transport back all the items.
Looking at the cars full of food, Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly.
”Children, come give Boss Zhang a hug.”
It was unknown who shouted it out, but suddenly the children rushed forward and hugged Zhang Xiaohua, swarming him.
Zhang Xiaohua was freed after a while, he then took a long breath and raised his voice:
”You really don't have to be so polite. In fact, it should be me saying thank you,
I'll be counting on everyone's help in the future to help develop the company. Building the school is only the first step. I hope to continue investing in the villages and expanding the scale of the company. If you really want to thank me, then work hard. I can't guarantee that everyone will become extremely wealthy. But I'm still confident that ten years from now you'll all be enjoying life comfortably!”
