Chapter 201: Collecting Tolls When You Go Home
Two or twenty miles to the south of Suicheng, the mountains surround Xiaoyan Village, which is the place where Yan Zhen was born, and it is also a famous scenic spot in Wangshan.
Xiao Yu seemed to be very interested, this time when she went back to her hometown to climb Phoenix Mountain, there were only two people like her and the master, it might take two or three days, and the thought of being alone with the master for such a long time, the little girl's face was flushed, her heart was beating faster, and she sat in the car and covered her face and giggled, which made Duan Chen inexplicable.
But as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the village, her face darkened, and there was actually a highway toll booth here! It's just that the toll collectors were not wearing special toll collector uniforms, but ordinary clothes, and these people were simply a group of village girls who set up their own toll booths and forcibly charged foreign vehicles entering the village!
Xiaoyan Village is the only way to enter the Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area, as a national tourist attraction, there is an endless stream of people who come here every year, and a toll station is set up at the intersection of the village, just this fee is a huge income!
The key is that no one cares, who gives them the right to collect fees? He said to the toll collector in a small voice: "I am from Xiaoyan Village, my name is Yan Xiaoyu, and you still ask me for money?"
Duan Chen didn't care much about the toll of one hundred yuan, but Xiao Yu pressed his arm and didn't let him pay, for Xiao Yu, going back to Xiaoyan Village is going back to his hometown, who has ever seen that he has to pay a toll at the door of his hometown when he goes back to his hometown?
The toll collector gave a blank look, snorted and said, "I'm from the village, I don't know you!" Every month, a group of people pretend to be relatives in our village, my aunt, or something, and they want to get in, but as long as I'm here, I don't think about it! I said that you people are really good, driving such a good car, wearing such good clothes, looking like a rich person, and even reluctant to pay a hundred yuan for the toll?
This time I came to Xiaoyan Village, which can be regarded as letting Xiaoyu go back to her hometown, after all, she has never been back since she was eight years old, so Duan Chen deliberately drove a Mercedes from Hongyun Building, which is not a luxury car, but it is also a good car, and it is definitely not shabby to return to the village.
As soon as she heard the toll collector speak, she was anxious and glared at her: "Is this a matter of 100 yuan? I have a lot of money to spend on sightseeing and scenic spots, and you need money to build a house here, and I have to charge for going back to my hometown, so why should I give it to you? Why do you charge this fee? Who gave you the right?"
"The village chief gave it, you have the ability to talk to the village chief to go! This road was saved up by our village for a penny to repair, and all of you who went in to play were crushed, and it wasn't we who paid for it ourselves? Why don't you pay for it?" The toll collector also said with a smile, glaring at him and reprimanding in a small voice.
Xiao Yu wanted to say something, Duan Chen had already taken out a hundred yuan and handed it to the toll collector, the toll collector pouted with disdain, didn't even give the invoice, raised the railing, and said: "Grinding and chirping for a long time is not giving? The more you seem to be rich, the more you pick the door, take out a hundred yuan and grind for a long time, and the relatives are here to grind with us for a long time, just to save the hundred yuan, I said that you don't have money, don't come to charge a big amount of money, okay? I don't know how to be ashamed!"
"I said you ......" The small tone turned pale, and he was about to argue with the toll collector, but Duan Chen had already stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove past the toll booth and drove into the village.
"Master, why do you want to pay the money? Don't say it's you, even if I go up and slap her twice, she still dares to ask me for money? The point is, this is not right at all, they shouldn't have set up a card here to charge fees in the first place, and you still give them the money, isn't this encouraging their unhealthy tendencies!"
Xiao Yu complained to Duan Chen indignantly, this was the first time she was dissatisfied with what her master had done since she followed Duan Chen.
Duan Chen didn't speak, just smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, this intimate act made the little girl's stomach full of complaints all come to naught, pouted and said, "Master, stop rubbing people's heads like this, people are not children anymore!"
On both sides are vegetable fields, all of which are covered with rape flowers, and vegetable farmers can be seen working everywhere. To be honest, the road is really good, spacious and flat, looking from afar, the car seems to be walking through the sea of flowers, with the morning sun overhead, the scenery is very beautiful.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, it's still like this here, it hasn't changed at all!" Xiao Yu leaned her head against the car window, looked outside and said, "I sometimes dream of going back to my hometown, just running in such a flower field, exactly like the scene now." ”
Xiao Yu looked at the bungalows that were approaching quickly, shook his head and said, "Even those houses haven't changed! Everything here is the same, but there is an extra toll booth!"
Seeing that the little girl looked indignant again, Duan Chen was a little funny, and when the car entered the village, he could already see a big mountain not far away, which was Phoenix Mountain.
When you enter the village, you can see that there are still a lot of changes here, a side street cuts the village in half, the houses on both sides form a sharp contrast, those houses on the left are trendy and stylish, although the number is not as much as the one on the right, but it is very modern, there are small western-style buildings, there are also small supermarkets and small restaurant frontage rooms.
The house on the right is old and dilapidated, many of which have been repaired in various ways, and the combination of adobe bricks looks nondescript.
The car stopped at the entrance of a supermarket on the left, and before going up the mountain, I had to go to Xiaoyu's old house to go around and buy more candy for the children.
"Hey, the two of you are here to play in Phoenix Mountain, right? Come in and have a look, pick and choose, I have everything!" The supermarket shopping guide is a young man with yellow hair, dressed as if he wants to show the trend, but he looks a little nondescript, but a bit like a ruffian.
The kid glanced at Duan Chen, and then didn't look again, as soon as his eyes fell on Xiao Yu's face, he couldn't move his steps anymore, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, a pair of eyes stared at Xiao Yu, almost without blinking.
In order to facilitate mountain climbing, today Xiaoyu is the same as Duan Chen, wearing a loose sportswear and hiking shoes, Duan Chen is wearing black, Xiaoyu is wearing red, and they are all the same brand of clothes and shoes, which looks like a couple's outfit.
This is a little girl bought, they are all famous brands, and they look very spiritual when worn on the body, especially Xiaoyu, with the more and more delicate little face, it looks even more youthful, like the little girl next door, and it is liked.
You can't raise such a watery girl in the village, that face, white in powder, seems to be able to pinch out the water with a little force!
"Girl, what do you want to buy? I'll take you over! Oh, be careful to meet!" Xiao Huangmao was about to drool when he looked at Xiao Yu, reached out and pretended to tidy up the shelves, and directly touched Xiao Yu's face!
Now Xiaoyu, I have been practicing "Zhengxuan Kaishan Gong" for a while, and my physical fitness and agility are much surpassing before, so naturally I will not let this kid succeed, his body leaned back to avoid his hand, his eyes were sharp and vigilant, and he shouted: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Huangmao didn't expect this chick to hide so quickly, but there was no embarrassed look on her face, but said in a flirtatious tone: "Sister, I'm afraid that things here will touch you, seeing that you have such fine skin and tender meat, once you scratch me, I will feel distressed!"
"Be respectful, I'm not your sister!Don't come near me, I'll find out what I buy!" Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Huang Mao with a bored face, took Duan Chen's arm and walked straight to the candy area, filling a bag of gummies.
Xiao Huangmao wanted to follow, but Duan Chen blocked him intentionally or unintentionally, and when he was angry and wanted to bypass Duan Chen, Xiao Yu had already packed the candy and took it to the cash register to pass the scale.
Don't look at the supermarket is not small, but there are not many customers, Xiao Huangmao looks at the store alone, so the shopping guide and cashier are all him.
Almost didn't look at the electronic scale, Xiao Huangmao's eyes kept on Xiao Yu's body, and he didn't hide the coveting in his heart at all, and said to Duan Chen: "Two hundred yuan!"
"Are you mistaken? You want two hundred yuan for eight catties of sugar, and your sugar is made of gold?" Xiao Yu became angry when he heard it, and shouted at Xiao Huangmao.
Xiao Huangmao grinned, raised his eyebrows and said to Xiaoyu: "Look at what the girl said, if it's really made of gold, two hundred yuan is not enough, right? Twenty-five yuan a pound of sugar, eight pounds and two hundred, that's right!"
"You're cheating people, aren't you? This kind of candy is at most ten yuan a pound even in the big shopping malls in the city, and you want twenty-five? Why don't you go and grab it? You are slandering!" Xiao Yu said angrily glaring at Xiao Huangmao.
Xiao Huangmao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Sister, you yourself said that it is a big shopping mall in the city, and this is not a city, I am more troublesome than a big shopping mall to pick up the goods, and how much money is not too much!"
"Then why don't you tell the customer in advance without knowing the price?" Xiao Yu said angrily.
"You didn't ask, we are in the countryside here, and we can bargain if we don't like the price marking, but you buy it without cutting it, and I can't help it!"
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I don't want it!" As he spoke, he took Duan Chen's hand and said, "Master, let's go!"
"If the thing is packaged and weighed, it is already yours, I'm sorry, I don't accept returns!" Xiao Huangmao looked at Xiao Yu with a smile on his face and said.
Xiao Yu looked at him coldly and said, "What, you still want to sell it? Believe it or not, I will call the police to deal with it?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huangmao looked fearless, looked at Xiao Yu with a wicked smile and said: "It's up to you!" It's just that the money still has to be paid, otherwise I guarantee that you can't leave Xiaoyan Village, believe it or not?"
"Why have you all become like this, you're just a robber!" Xiao Yu looked sad and angry, took out his mobile phone, and was about to call the police, but Duan Chen had already taken out two hundred yuan and threw it on the cash register, and then carried the candy and pulled Xiao Yu out of the supermarket.
"Master!" sat in the car, shouting to Duan Chen in a small voice, what's wrong with Master today? It seems that he has no temper at all, and he is at the mercy of others!
The trip to his hometown, which he was looking forward to very much, has now been completely destroyed, and Xiao Yu feels that there is only a bunch of resentment left in his stomach!
Duan Chen just smiled slightly, and said to her, "Where is the old mansion? Let's go over now, and we can go up the mountain in the afternoon!"
Xiao Yu pointed to the side angrily and said: "I can only remember the approximate location, whether I can find it or not, it is not certain! In fact, the meaning that my grandmother and my father explained to me was to go to the old house to see Mrs. Yan, I don't know anyone else, it doesn't matter if I see it or not!"
Fortunately, the old mansion is still there, and there are still people living there, full of a large family, it is really Mrs. Yan and his children and grandchildren.
Mrs. Yan is Xiaoyu's grandfather, her grandfather's eldest brother. This year is eighty years old, no teeth, old dragon clock, but the body bones are very tough, when the car arrived at the door, the old man was sitting on the horse, leaning against the wall to bask in the sun, was recognized by Xiao Yu, and shouted: "Grandpa!"
The old man didn't know each other for a long time, and then whispered: "My father is Yan Zhen!"
"It's the girl of the Three Dogs!" the old man realized who Xiao Yu was, got up and walked over, grinning toothlessly.
Seven or eight children poured out of the gate of the old house, and a middle-aged woman, after hearing Xiaoyu's introduction, immediately greeted her, and said to Xiaoyu: "I'm your aunt, hurry up and enter the house! Is this your boyfriend?"
Xiaoyu blushed, and said to the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, this is my master, I am still in high school, where do I have a boyfriend!"
