Chapter 931: The Medicine of Blue Earth

o family courtyard, they had a few drinks. Two tiny cups clinked together, and with one gulp, both of them let out a "hiss." 。Drinking high-proof alcohol, what you get is just that first sip's refresh...The Siberian cold snap came on suddenly and unexpectedly, catching people off guard, making it feel like winter had already arrived. 。Fortunately, at the last standing committee meeting, Xiao Zheng also deployed work on cold, frost, and snow prevention, and preparations have been made throughout the county. In addition, over the past year, the problem of housing for impoverished households has been resolved, and all caves that needed reinforcement have been reinforced, dangerous houses have been rebuilt, and necessities like quilts and stoves have been sent through civil affairs, so the people of Baoyuan County are beginning to smoothly enter a wintering mode. 。In Behai Lake of Beijing, the sparkling lake surface just a couple of days ago has turned into icy land. Young people and children are happily skating on it. 。On a private pavilion overlooking the surface of Beihai Lake, with a warm fire and steaming tea, Sima Zhongtian gazed westward at the frozen expanse of Beihai, northward at the foothills of Jingshan. He peeled a hot roasted lychee and swallowed a slightly warm tangerine segment, chuckling as he praised, "Old Leader, this is what life is all about!"Cao Gao-peng, the old leader, smiled faintly, pouring Sima Zhongtian a cup of thick Pu'er tea. "You know me well - decades of border patrol for this peaceful retirement! You too, even if your current post in the frontiers is challenging, you can also enjoy a life like mine one day!"A smile lit up Sima Zhongtian's face, "Whether I have that good fortune remains to be seen!" But in his heart, he thought, if it were just this level of ease with the old leader, I could just lie down and do nothing now!However, enjoying a peaceful retirement was not Sima Zhongtian's ultimate goal. His "ideal" was undoubtedly far grander... 。Of course, on this path, Sima Zhongtian still needs to clear obstacles, and the biggest obstacle is the Xiao family in Huating!

The old leader Cao Gaopeng smiled and said, "How could there be no such luck Zhongtian, in my personal experience, as long as you grasp two things, you will definitely be able to follow me here to enjoy the lake, see the mountains, drink tea, and have a peaceful heart! The first one is to walk the right path. As long as you follow the direction Huating points us in, you won't go down the wrong path; the second one is not to be greedy. Money and wealth are external things, you don't bring them when you are born and you don't take them when you die. You have no bottom! Your son, Sima Yue, is already the Minister of Organization in Jiangzhong. Father and son are both officials. To put it simply, even if you want to 'bring glory to your ancestors', it's enough! As long as these two points are grasped, I believe that when you return from the border to Huating, you will definitely be able to live a life of contentment like me!"

"Thank you for your teachings, old leader!" Sima Zhongtian picked up the teapot and poured tea for Cao Gaopeng. "I will keep the old leader's words in mind!" Cao Gaopeng nodded slightly and said, "Now, people like us are satisfied, the only thing is that life goes by too quickly>>> 。ared to return to the hotel. 。However, at this moment, a streak of red drifted in from the open doorway of the hotel's courtyard. 。This is a car. 。Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu walked aside to make way f...
