Chapter 256: Bridgehead
Rejecting Zhang Feng was just a small matter in Su Chen's heart, and he didn't take it to heart.
Chinese people pursue a golden mean in the world, thinking about a network and circle in everything, but for Su Chen, he is influenced by Old Man Tian and others, what he pursues is self, and what he seeks is to understand the idea of a self.
"Chenchen, I'll go to your grandmother's house for dinner later. ”
"Good. ”
Hearing his mother's words, Su Chen responded, his house and his grandmother's house are in the same town, but not in the same village, and it would take half an hour to walk, and now there is a car in ten minutes.
Near noon, Su Chen got up from the rattan chair, I don't know why, he found that with the improvement of the realm, he didn't like to move anymore, and always wanted to lie quietly.
"Could it be because of the cultivation of the Joy Divine Technique?"
Su Chen guessed in his heart that the Joy Divine Technique was actually transformed from the corpse control technique, and the cultivator would have some zombie characteristics, and the zombies would lie down most of the time to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and they should be affected by the characteristics of zombies.
When he went to his grandmother's house, Su Chen did not choose to ride a little donkey, but chose to walk, even if the scorching sun was shining in summer, if someone touched Su Chen's skin at this time, they would find that Su Chen's skin was a little cold, and not a drop of sweat flowed out.
There were a lot of cars driving on the road along the way, and when the people in the car saw Su Chen, their faces were surprised, and the young people nowadays have not suffered much, all of them have fine skin and tender meat, where can they withstand the exposure of the sun, and they are suffering from heat stroke at every turn.
Therefore, these passers-by were shocked that Su Chen was walking on the road under the scorching sun in this sunny weather.
Half an hour away, Su Chen walked in less than fifteen minutes to his grandmother's village, Qiaotou Village.
The origin of Qiaotou Village, Su Chen originally heard his grandmother tell him, saying that the village is close to the Xinjiang River, and it turns out that during the rainy season, the river will rush out of the embankment and flood the farmland, until later in the Qing Dynasty, the then county magistrate built a bridge here.
Strange to say, the bridge could not reasonably stop the river from flooding, but since the bridge was built, the village has not been flooded.
And the village happens to be leaning on the bridge, and it is still upstream of the bridge, so it is called Qiaotou Village.
Later, with the diversion of the river, the original river land was continuously reclaimed into farmland, and both ends of the bridge were filled with soil, from the original bridge of ten meters to a small bridge of three or four meters.
If you walk from the main road, you won't pass the bridge, but when Su Chen was about to walk to the village, he chose to go around the field path, and he passed this small bridge.
In recent years, as young people have gone to the big cities to work, most of the farmland in the village has been abandoned, and only some old people can still get some rice and vegetables, but the area is no longer comparable with before.
Su Chen looked at a lot of abandoned farmland, one acre of which was his grandmother's house, and his grandmother's house had a total of five or six acres of land, but not in one place, like now that his grandmother is old, these fields far away from home will not grow things, just plant some grain and vegetables on the one or two plots of land not far from the door of the house.
Su Chen did not stand at the head of the bridge, but stood a few meters away from the head of the bridge, and from this position he could see the situation under the bridge, and even some patterns engraved on the back of the bridge.
"So that's the case, no wonder after the bridge is built, there will be no more floods that will wipe out the fields. ”
Standing in front of the bridge, Su Chen had a look of realization in his eyes, the builder of this bridge is not simple, he also recalled this matter before deciding to come over and take a look, and it turned out that his guess was not wrong.
When Su Chen arrived at his grandmother's house, it happened to be noon, and when Su Chen arrived, he found that in addition to his aunt, second aunt and uncle, there were also two people from Qiaotou Village.
These two are probably in their forties, Su Chen often came to his grandmother's house to play when he was a child, so he also knew these two, they were neighbors at his grandmother's old house, and they were of the same generation as his uncle.
"Chenchen is here, drink some liquor?"
Zhang Guozheng was very happy to see Su Chen, and Su Chen's mother Zhang Qingxia on the side heard this and hurriedly said, "Chenchen is still studying, he is still a child, how can he drink?"
"Sister, I remember that when you were so old with Chenchen, you were already married to your brother-in-law. ”
Uncle Su Chen's third uncle smiled on the side, but Zhang Qingxia glared at her younger brother, eldest brother, she didn't dare to glare, but you are just a younger brother, I can't clean you up?
"Mom, I'll accompany my uncle to drink something. ”
Su Chen saw that his uncle was in a good mood, his face was a little red, he should have drunk a lot, his grandfather died early, and his grandmother's health was not very good.
"That's right, it's not that your Su family can't drink, when Grandpa Chenchen came to our side, my eldest brother and the fourth brother together couldn't drink Grandpa Chenchen alone, and my brother-in-law's alcohol consumption is also very good, Chenchen has a family inheritance. ”
Hearing his third uncle's words, Su Chen remembered the jokes that the elders often told when they sat together, because his eldest uncle was the third brother and only his mother was the younger sister, so the eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle loved their mother very much.
At the beginning, the matchmaker came to the door to say goodbye, and the uncle was all against it, but the mother couldn't stand the fact that the mother was attracted by the father, so she insisted on marrying her, and in the end, the uncle had no choice but to take revenge at the wine table.
When his father came to the door for the first time, the uncle and the three brothers wanted to get their father drunk, and their father also understood their thoughts, and it was not bad, so a wine table battle began.
The result of the wine table battle was that the eldest uncle and the third uncle all lay down, and the fourth uncle was still able to stand, and his father also collapsed after killing the eldest and third uncle, and the four big men drank porridge for two days in a row before they came to their senses.
This hatred, his father didn't write it down, but his grandfather did.
So when the uncle came to the door, the grandfather smiled and accompanied him personally, at first the uncle they were still underestimated, after all, the grandfather felt that he would not be their opponent when he was old, so in the face of the grandfather's pouring of wine, he did not refuse, and politely said that the elders took a sip, and they drank a big sip.
But when they drank about the same, the uncle and they found out that they were fooled, although this father-in-law was a sip, but in the end it was a one-on-three, so calculated, the wine they drank was similar to them, and they were already a little face-saving, but the father-in-law was still as stable as Mount Tai.
By the time they found out something was wrong, it was too late, because by then they had already drunk their heads, and they regretted that it was when they woke up the next day.
"Uncle, what are you so happy about?"
Su Chen sat down at the table, and Zhang Guozheng heard his nephew's words, and said with a smile: "It's not a good thing, this is your Uncle Jianhua, this is your Uncle Jianjun, you should have an impression." ”
"Yes, when I was a child, I went to Uncle Jianhua's house to steal green dates. ”
Su Chen smiled a little shyly, at that time, children in the countryside didn't have so many snacks to eat, and many children could only rely on themselves, going down to the river to catch fish and crabs, making fishing rods to catch knowledge, and stealing fruits from fruit trees planted by others.
"You naughty still remember, you caught that time, if it weren't for me, you would have been beaten. ”
Su Chen's third uncle took over with a smile, the countryside is not like the people in the city, and he is afraid that if he breaks the child, he will be approached by other parents to theorize.
Because in the simple minds of rural people, stealing is wrong, and it is right to be beaten, and they were beaten like this back then.
"Your Uncle Jianhua has developed very well outside, but now the fallen leaves are going back to their hometown to develop, and they are going to build a waterworks in our village, don't look at the village now there is only a small stream left, but there are abundant water resources underground. ”
Hearing his uncle's words, Su Chen nodded, the river was diverted, causing the big river at the head of the village to become a small stream, but after all, it is a river that has existed for hundreds of years, and the groundwater resources are not known to be rich, so it is a good choice to build a waterworks.
"Isn't there a lot of land on the other side of the bridge that is now deserted, and your Uncle Jianhua is going to buy that land. ”
"If you build a waterworks at the head of the bridge, will that move to that bridge?" asked Su Chen.
"Yes, when the time comes, the factory will directly cover the bridgehead. Liu Jianhua replied.
Su Chen's brows furrowed, if he hadn't gone to the bridge today, he wouldn't have felt anything, but after seeing the bridge, he understood that if he moved the bridge, it would be tantamount to making trouble for himself.
"Uncle Jianhua, can you only choose that piece?"
"This place is good, and the cost of land acquisition is too high now, and you know that many people in the village sit on the land and start the price, because that place is considered a public land, so the price is relatively low. ”
Liu Jianhua sighed, don't look at these lands are already deserted and no one wants them, but when they heard that they were going to build a waterworks, many people in the village just got all the land, and some even deliberately planted vegetables and fruits.
"If the cost difference is not particularly large, I suggest that you do not have the position at the head of the bridge. ”
Su Chen's words made the two Liu Jianhua brothers puzzled, and when they heard his nephew's words, Zhang Guozheng's expression also became serious, because the trip to the provincial capital not long ago made him know that his nephew was a person with special abilities.
"Chenchen, do you mean there's something wrong with that place?"
"Well, the bridge head is easy to move, and it is easy to have accidents. ”
Facing his uncle, Su Chen did not hide it, and he knew that his uncle and Liu Jianhua had a good relationship with each other, and they had played together since childhood.
