Chapter 614: The Way Home
Liu Lang's parents have already gone home early, after all, Liu Lang has too many things, and Liu Donglai and his wife are also like arrows, besides, there is not much trouble with Wang Zhendong's special car.
Wang Zhendong deliberately asked the army to send a truck to send Liu Donglai and his wife back to Fucheng, the reason why it was a truck was to pull the "goods" that the two of them had purchased from the United States and in the capital, these things were too many, basically accounting for one body of the truck, and the weight was almost a ton.
Of course, Liu Lang went back to Fucheng with Sun Hu, and the two set off from the capital in the morning and arrived in Shencheng at noon.
"Liu Lang, now another road has been built between Shencheng and Fucheng, how about we try this road?"
Sun Hu pointed to the road in front of him and said to Liu Lang, who was sitting in the co-pilot.
"Another road?"
Liu Lang was a little surprised.
"Well, now the country is vigorously developing the economy, and the steel and coal needed are much more than before, you have a lot of coal in Fucheng, there was only one railway and highway in Fucheng before, and the transportation volume was not enough, and last year I simply built a road from Fucheng to Shencheng, which was just completed a month ago, and the length is one hundred and seventy kilometers, which is nearly thirty kilometers more than the previous road, and I haven't walked it yet!"
Sun Hu has been a soldier and fought, such people have feelings for the road that ordinary people can't compare, only when a new road appears in front of them, they want to take a walk, and figure out the "terrain".
"Okay, let's go, let's take a shortcut!"
Liu Lang immediately said that he was also interested, because this road should not have appeared in his previous life.
"Alright, let's go!"
Sun Hu stepped on the accelerator and got off the car!
The car drove on a flat road, lined with large fields of farmland, but it was winter, and the fields were bare, and in summer and autumn, there were endless crops everywhere as far as the eye could see.
Looking into the distance through the window of the car, you can vaguely see mud houses, and occasionally a figure flashes in the courtyard.
The vast land, the distant courtyard, and the expectation of returning home made Liu Lang involuntarily hum the American folk song "Country Road"
West Virginia, Lanling Mountain, Xenadoa River.
Life there is old, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, and grows slowly like the wind.
Country Road, take me home, to where I grew up—West Virginia, Mountain Mom, Country Road, take me home .......
This song is a country song written and sung by the famous American country singer John Denver in 1971, the song has a light melody, depicting a beautiful American western scenery and chic cowboys, Denver has also become one of the top three country singers in American history because of this song, and this song also perfectly expresses Liu Lang's state of mind.
Liu Lang is humming in English, with crisp children's voices and cheerful melodies, even if Sun Hu can't understand what he sings, but the music has no limits, Sun Hu can't help but be infected by the tune and hum.
The car is speeding on the road, the fastest speed is close to 100 kilometers per hour, the only advantage of this era is that the green mountains and green waters are sparsely populated, not that there is no one, but people rarely travel, the car drove for half an hour before occasionally seeing a few trucks carrying coal, at this time it is almost the New Year, twenty years later in the era that is the Spring Festival, the road is basically full of vehicles, more than 100 kilometers of distance without a five or six hours do not have to think, where will be like Sun Hu now without scruples "running"? He was still worried that Liu Lang was afraid, if he drove by himself, he would directly step on the accelerator to the end.
The car drove forward, and a village appeared not far away, and the road passed through the middle of the village.
The car slowed down and drove into the village.
The villages are all low earthen houses, and Liu Lang's grandmother's house is in the countryside, but that place can only be regarded as a suburban junction, but the hukou is all rural hukou, and some people are also working in the city, for example, Liu Lang's grandfather works in the railway department and is a person who eats public food.
And this is the pure countryside, the common people are completely dependent on farming to eat, if you catch up with the drought and flood solar terms, the crops in the field are not harvested, it is troublesome, it is likely that there will be a situation of not having enough to eat, but the climate in the north is not bad, generally there are few extreme climate years, generally speaking, there will be two good years and one bad year every five years, and the grain produced by the two good years is enough to deal with the bad years in addition to the rations of the year, unlike many places in the south, there must be two or three bad years in five years, even if there will be a bumper harvest in one year, the surplus grain is not enough to cope with the bad years。
Sun Hu's car drove hundreds of meters into the village and suddenly stood up, then looked ahead, and involuntarily touched his waist, where a pistol was pinned.
"What's going on?"
Liu Lang was also taken aback when he saw that Sun Hu was about to pull out his gun, could it be that he had encountered a car bandit and a road rage? Shouldn't it? The peasants in the 80s were very simple, where were there any underworld and evil forces?
"Liu Lang, look there!"
Sun Hu pointed ahead, Liu Lang followed and looked over, and saw three jeeps.
In the 80s, it was impossible to see a jeep in China's big countryside, and there was a Toyota jeep produced in an island country, and the price of such a car was nearly one million yuan, and no one in the whole country could afford it.
The car was one thing, and Liu Lang saw a cloth strip pasted on the back of the car, which read: Eight Thousand Miles of Luyun and Moon Film Crew.
"Eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, what is this?"
Liu Lang is very curious, these characters are still traditional characters, you must know that the mainland has long used simplified characters, and only Chinese people on Hong Kong Island, Wanwan and overseas use traditional characters.
"Liu Lang, those words are traditional characters, I'm afraid it's Wanwan's spies who came to collect intelligence, don't get out of the car, I'll take a look!"
Sun Hu also found a problem, and was about to open the door after speaking.
"Wait a minute!
Liu Lang pulled Sun Hu.
"What do you remember?"
Sun Hu was stunned.
Liu Lang remembered an incident in his previous life, in the 80s, an artist from Wanwan filmed a documentary called "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon", he led his team to travel through the mountains and rivers of the motherland for several months, from the city to the countryside, from the mainland to the coast, from the plateau to the valley, from the desert to the mountain, this documentary is very rich in content, covering people, culture, historical sites, landscapes, music and dance, acrobatics and martial arts, The folk customs, the clothing, food, housing and transportation in daily life, the magnificent mountains and rivers and customs of the mainland of the motherland, under the humorous narration of this artist, are flexible and vivid, touching and infecting countless audiences in Wanwan.
This documentary should have been released in the mainland in the early nineties, and it caused a sensation immediately after its release, and the second artist is also well-known to the mainlanders, and his fame is no less than that of the singer who sang "A Fire", Liu Lang seems to have watched an episode, the reason why it seems to have been seen is because the age is too long, and the plot of the year has been forgotten, Liu Lang can only search out that memory by entering the depths of his memory through consciousness, but of course it is not the time now.
