Chapter 7: Go Home!
At 4 p.m., the train arrived in W, the capital city of HB province.
Out of the train station, Zhou Fan got on the shuttle bus of Shenhe Airport, and he had to take a plane from W City to Shennongjia!
Since there is no highway to Shennongjia in W city, the reason is very simple, that is, Shennongjia is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is steep, and it costs a lot of money to build a highway, so the forest district government retreats to an airport in order to attract tourists.
Zhou Fan can actually take the road, but the price of the bus ticket is not much cheaper than the discounted plane ticket, and the time is greatly shortened, and now Zhou Fan doesn't care about dozens of dollars more, so he chose the plane.
…………
About 50 minutes later, the Boeing 737 landed at Shennongjia Airport, and Zhou Fan got off the plane and walked out of the terminal.
Zhou Fan stood outside the terminal, smelling the fresh air of Shennongjia and looking at the lush mountains around him, which was really refreshing!
Zhou Fan got on the transfer bus, listening to the extremely familiar local accent of the passengers on the bus, Zhou Fan smiled.
The car takes about 40 minutes to get to the home of the little uncle Liu Xiaowu in Baiyang Town, because of the call to the little uncle in advance, Zhou Fan estimates that now the little uncle and the little aunt have prepared a meal and are waiting for Zhou Fan's return!
Since the death of Zhou Fan's parents, the old mansion of Nuoda has always been uninhabited, and some daily necessities will break down if they are left for a long time!
Every time Zhou Fan, who works outside, goes home, he will stay at his uncle's house in the town for a day, and then buy some daily necessities at the market the next day and return to the old house in Zhoujiawan.
…………
After 40 minutes of driving, the shuttle bus drove into Baiyang Town Station, the station has no signs, just located at the intersection of several rural roads, due to the perennial shuttle bus stops, here is gradually formed the current small station!
The town of Baiyang is located at the foot of two large mountains, and there is only one main road in the town!
The town's secondary schools, primary schools, banks, town government, markets, vegetable farms, and hospitals are all on this main road.
Zhou Fan got out of the car, looked at the familiar street, and had an indescribable emotion in his heart, maybe this is the cowardice of homesickness!
Zhou Fan's uncle's family lives in the teacher's dormitory building of the town middle school, which is a seven-story old-fashioned residential building, and the uncle's house is on the third floor.
…………
Zhou Fan knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened, and Zhou Fan walked in.
"Auntie, where is my brother-in-law, why didn't you see him!" Zhou Fan smiled at his aunt as he put down his luggage.
"He went to make up for the students, and he will be back soon, you go to the sofa and cook for a while, drink some water, and I have two dishes that will be fried immediately!"
The little aunt looked at Zhou Fan and said happily.
"Fanfan, I heard from your uncle that you won't leave when you come back this time, and you're looking for something to do at home, right?"
"Yes, aunt! The consumption in the city is too high, and my monthly salary is not enough to support myself!"
Saying that, Zhou Fan walked to the door of the kitchen, looked at the little aunt who was busy in the kitchen and said.
The little aunt turned her head and said with a smile at Zhou Fan: "That's a good thing, you can still come to see us if you are okay at home, what is good in the city, earn more, spend more!"
"Look at you! you've lost a lot of weight!" he said and continued to bust himself with the trivial tasks on the stove.
Zhou Fan replied with a shy smile: "I will definitely come more in the future, so much so that you will annoy me and drive me away!"
"Aunt I wish you lived here! After your sister got married, your uncle and I were at home, and I knew what life would be like after retirement!"
"Just let me say, you just don't go back to your Zhoujiawan, there is no water or electricity, and there is no popularity at home!"
"It's better to live here!" Aunt Wang Ping said while looking at the pot.
……
When Zhou Fan was chatting with his aunt Wang Ping, his uncle Liu Xiaowu came back, and Zhou Fan hurriedly went over to take the teaching bag in his uncle's hand.
"Do you know you're back?" Liu Xiaowu said expressionlessly.
"Hmm" Zhou Fan touched the bridge of his nose and lowered his head and replied.
"Go to the cupboard in my room, get a bottle of wine, and take whatever you like. Liu Xiaowu looked at Zhou Fan and said.
Zhou Fan immediately turned his head and went to the room to get wine, Liu Xiaowu is a Chinese teacher who teaches junior high school students, and during the New Year's holidays, there are piles of cigarettes and alcohol at home!
Liu Xiaowu also drank some wine, all the cigarettes and alcohol went into Zhou Fan's pocket, and the cigarettes that Zhou Fan smoked in his hometown were all of a very high grade, but they went to the city......
Zhou Fan was both respectful and afraid of this little uncle, he was his homeroom teacher when he was in junior high school! After the death of his parents in high school, every time he went home from school vacation, he would eat, live and study at Liu Xiaowu's house!
In high school, Zhou Fan didn't study well, and it was his uncle who went out to beg for help, so Zhou Fan was able to go back to school!
After the death of Zhou Fan's parents, this little uncle has actually been assuming the role of Zhou Fan's father, and he is annoyed and resentful!
My aunt and uncle were coming out of the kitchen with the dishes, ready to be put on the table.
"You go fry some peanuts again, I'll have some wine with Fanfan," Liu Xiaowu said to his aunt while pulling the plate.
"Okay, I'll fry some peanuts again. Wang Ping said and walked into the kitchen. ”
"Auntie, don't listen to your uncle, don't fry it, you can't put the dishes on this table, and 3 people can't eat so much!"
Zhou Fan put down the opened wine, grabbed the little aunt and said.
Pulled the little aunt to sit on the chair, and said to the little aunt: "Don't be busy, I don't stay for a day like before and leave, I will grow up in the future, there will be many opportunities!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to Liu Xiaowu and said, "Uncle, let's eat!"
……
Zhou Fan first poured Liu Xiaowu a glass of wine, and then filled his own cup, as for her aunt, she didn't drink, she had already added rice......
Liu Xiaowu took a sip of his wine glass and said to Zhou Fan: "I found you a job at school, as a physical education teacher, no establishment, about 3,000 a month, if you want to come, you can come to work when the school opens." ”
In Liu Xiaowu's heart, Zhou Fan works in the city, one has no education, two doesn't matter, and three has no funds!
It's too difficult to get ahead on his own, so it's better to find a stable job in the town, work hard, save some money, and find a daughter-in-law in the future to live a stable life.
Liu Xiaowu continued: "You are also not a small one, you can't have a mess like this today and tomorrow, and you don't have any money in your hands, how can you marry a daughter-in-law in the future?"
Zhou Fan listened to Liu Xiaowu's words, thought of his ignorance, apologized, looked at Liu Xiaowu and said firmly: "Uncle, I came back with money this time, almost 170,000, I want to start my own business at home!"
"Where did you get all that money? You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"
Liu Xiaowu put down the chopsticks that were about to pick up the dishes and asked hurriedly. Her aunt Wang Ping also put down her chopsticks and turned her head to look at Zhou Fan.
"No, where do you want to go, am I that kind of person, this money is from the lottery!"
"I watched the live broadcast on a very popular live broadcast platform, and then those anchors would hold a lottery in order to attract people to watch, just like a welfare lottery, and finally I won the prize!" Zhou Fan hurriedly denied.
"You're not that kind of person yet? After your parents died, if you hadn't woken up early, you would have been a labor prisoner now, in prison! I told you, don't coax me!" Liu Xiaowu looked at Zhou Fan with a look of disbelief and said.
"Yes, Fanfan, if something really happens, let's go and turn ourselves in!"
"I have discussed with your uncle and your sister Xinxin, when your sister Xinxin got married, we gave your sister a lot of dowry, and after your uncle and I died, the house we lived in in the future, the deposit will be yours!"
"Your sister has agreed, you can't do illegal things for money!" Aunt Wang Ping said with a worried face.
Zhou Fan took out his mobile phone, opened the album and handed it to them, and then said: "Look, this is a screenshot of my winning, and this is a screenshot of the anchor giving me money!"
Zhou Fan was afraid that his uncle and aunt would not believe what he said, so he had already prepared evidence!
Then Zhou Fan picked up his wine glass and said to Liu Xiaowu and Wang Ping: "Uncle, aunt, since my parents died, you have always been taking care of me!
After speaking, he drank the liquor in the glass in one sip, and then poured himself another glass and continued:
"I'm back this time, I won't go out, I want to use this money to start a business at home, I hope you two elders can support me, I was ignorant before, so I worried you!
After saying that, he drank the wine from the wine glass again.
"You know what you're going to do with this money, tell me, I can also work with you!"
Liu Xiaowu looked up at Zhou Fan after reading the screenshot on his phone and said.
"Fanfan eats some food first, presses the wine, it's still early, say slowly!" Wang Ping reminded on the side.
Zhou Fan looked at Liu Xiaowu and Wang Ping and said:
"Uncle, aunt, I think so, the old house in Zhoujiawan is so big, and there is a history, I want to ask someone to redecorate the old house and make it a farmhouse, I have learned to cook before......"
…………
Zhou Fan told Liu Xiaowu all his thoughts a few days ago!
Liu Xiaowu was silent for a while and said, "Have you done some other well-developed scenic spots in Shennongjia?
"Even if tourists come, you can't just eat, our wild vegetables here, Tujia banquet is really good, but you have to have other projects to attract tourists to you, not to those well-developed scenic spots!"
Zhou Fan thought about the question asked by Liu Xiaowu, and he really thought about the question simply!
Zhou Fan thought hard about how to answer Liu Xiaowu, if he didn't answer well, I was afraid that he would have to listen to Liu Xiaowu's words and become a physical education teacher!
"We have those scenic spots here, such as the Fairy Lake, the Yandi Valley, the Savage Mountain and the golden monkey breeding base!"
"These scenery is not available in the scenic spots over there, I will take those tourists into the mountain to see these!" Zhou Fan thought for a while and said.
"The scenery in those places is indeed quite beautiful, and it can attract people from the city! If you plan a good route, you will indeed have a lot to do! But it is very dangerous to enter the mountains, what should you do if something happens? Are you responsible?" Liu Xiaowu asked again.
Zhou Fan said confidently: "Uncle, I have been to those places since I was a child, I don't know how many times I have been to those places, I am confident! As long as I sign an agreement with those tourists, some people are willing to see the most primitive scenery!"
Zhou Fan grew up in the mountains, climbed mountains and trees, and caught shrimp and fished for him, it was a hand-to-hand catch!
But these are useless in S City, urban children are learning piano, dancing and playing computers, while rural children are digging birds, fishing, and playing marbles! This is the difference, and it cannot be changed!
But in the mountains, Zhou Fan will be able to show his skills!
Liu Xiaowu and Wang Ping asked a few more questions, and Zhou Fan answered them one by one, which slowly dispelled their concerns.
…………
The bottle of wine on the table also slowly bottomed out, and Zhou Fan and Liu Xiaowu were gradually drunk.
This is one of the few times that Zhou Fan has drunk with Liu Xiaowu! Today, both of them look quite happy!
……
After eating, Zhou Fan washed up and fell asleep.
Zhou Fan didn't know that Liu Xiaowu and Wang Ping next door were still discussing his affairs.
"Pingping, how much money do you have at home?" Liu Xiaowu said while lying on the bed with his eyes closed, rubbing his brows.
"More than 120,000, what's wrong?" Wang Ping said as he looked at Liu Xiaowu.
"Tomorrow, you go to the bank to withdraw 100,000 yuan, and then send it to Fanfan, right?" Liu Xiaowu opened his eyes and looked at Liu Ping and said.
"Didn't Fanfan say he had 170,000?" Liu Ping replied.
Liu Xiaowu sighed and said: "His old mansion of the Zhou family, a house with 3 into 5 rooms! I want to completely renovate it, Fanfan's little money, after the renovation, it is estimated that there is no money for anything else, do you think he is embarrassed to ask us?"
