Chapter 761: Returning Home (Part II)
The two Mercedes-Benz got off the highway one after the other, passed the toll station and entered the provincial highway 307, and then soon arrived at Xihe County.
The car did not stop in the county, and drove along the main road for half a kilometer and turned into a fork in the road, driving deep into the rolling mountains.
Luo Kai drove his normally open GLK350i with a faint smile on his face.
He, Mo Lan, Da Lei and an assistant set off from the capital at noon yesterday and stayed in the provincial capital more than 400 kilometers away from Xihe County for one night, and then continued the trip this morning, arriving at their hometown at noon.
Now on the way from the county seat to Luojia Village, he thinks that he will be able to see his long-lost relatives soon, and his mood is as sunny as the weather outside.
"Hungry?"
Luo Kai turned his head and asked Mo Lan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said, "There are snacks in the back seat to fill your stomach." ”
"I had a lot of food in the morning..."
Mo Lan touched his stomach, puffed up and said, "I've gained a few pounds recently, and I'm just losing weight!"
Luo Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
For a creature like a woman, he can't understand it in two lifetimes, obviously his figure is very standard, and he shouts to lose weight after eating a few more bites, which makes people speechless.
"Huh..."
Mo Lan suddenly let out an exclamation, as if he had discovered something: "Has this mountain road been repaired?"
Luo Kai suddenly smiled: "You just found out?"
Originally, the county seat to Luojia Village more than a dozen kilometers of mountain road was built a long time ago, due to the lack of adequate maintenance, so the road conditions are quite bad, drive past the high chassis SUV is better, ordinary vehicles have to slow down to avoid potholes, otherwise it is easy to scrape to the bottom of the car.
Therefore, it takes more than half an hour to complete the road of more than ten kilometers, which is undoubtedly a kind of torture for the driver.
But now this bad road has changed a lot, the original one-lane gravel road has become a two-lane concrete road, the roadside guardrails have been replaced by simple cement stone pillars with metal guardrails, and the new street signs standing on the roadside have raised the grade more than one level.
For the drivers and passengers driving on this new road, the more than ten kilometers of distance is no longer a torment, but a pleasant enjoyment, and there is no need to worry about enjoying the beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters.
Mo Lan couldn't help but ask, "What was repaired?"
Luo Kai replied: "At the beginning of last month, my sister also took a photo to show me. ”
In order to help Luojia Village embark on the road to prosperity, Luo Kai and the Xihe county government reached an agreement to donate 15 million yuan for the renovation and construction of the mountain road, which was completed just last month.
Xihe County has also invested a considerable amount of money, so the construction standard of this new road is quite high, and the Xihe County Government also wants to invite Luo Kai to participate in the opening ceremony of the new road, but Luo Kai did not have time to come over, so that his sister and brother-in-law attended as his own representatives.
After the completion of the new road, the distance from Luojia Village to the county seat has not changed, but the time of passage has been greatly shortened, and it will take more than ten minutes to drive through it for half an hour at most, and the safety is far from being comparable to the previous slag road.
"You didn't even tell me..."
Mo Lanjiao glanced at him with disgust, and then when the car turned a corner, she seemed to have discovered a new continent: "Ah, there is drifting!"
A few dozen meters down the left side of the trail is a long stream, the water is murmuring and crystal clear, and an apparently groomed rafting channel leads from the top to the downstream, and a dozen kayaks float in a long line on it, and tourists in life jackets can be seen playing in the water.
"This is a new tourist project in the village..."
Luo Kai explained: "The village has set up a Luojia Village Tourism Company, there are several recreational projects, stream rafting is the only one in Xihe County at present, I heard that the business is very good. ”
Luojia Village has good mountains and rivers, which is very suitable for suburban tourism development, and it is limited to funds and road conditions that cannot be used before, but now it finally has a wealth project.
This tourism company was set up by all the villagers and is owned by the collective, and Luo Kai did not donate much money, but gave a lot of guidance.
Like this rafting project is from his suggestion, the investment is not very large, but the income is very good, it is said that the summer vacation has opened until now, the income has been as high as hundreds of thousands.
Mo Lan sighed: "It's really different..."
Luo Kai smiled, and it was at this time that his mobile phone rang.
Luo Kai pressed the button on the steering wheel to answer: "Hey?"
"Xiao Kai, where are you?"
Luo Hui's voice came from the car horn: "Is it almost there?"
"It's almost there..."
Luo Kai hurriedly replied, "It will take ten minutes at most." ”
When he set off from the provincial capital in the morning, he talked to his family on the phone and estimated the arrival time.
Luo Hui said: "Don't worry, drive slowly, and pay attention to safety." ”
Luo Kai smiled: "Don't worry." ”
After ending the call with Luo Hui, Luo Kai continued to drive with full attention, and arrived at the entrance of the village road in Luojia Village in less than 10 minutes.
The last time I went home was during the Chinese New Year, and in about half a year, this village, hidden deep in the mountains, has changed a lot.
A huge signboard was erected at the entrance of the village, with slogans welcoming tourists, and a large stone several meters high stood next to it, and the three big red characters of "Luojia Village" were particularly eye-catching.
In the past, the roadside wasteland was turned into a parking lot, and several large colorful balloons with banners were displayed in the wind, and dozens of cars, commercial vehicles, and even a tourist bus were parked inside.
A few months ago, it would have been impossible for a wide-body bus to reach Luojia Village.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The black pressure station at the village crossing was full of people, and when they saw the Mercedes-Benz driven by Luo Kai appear, the crowd immediately burst into cheers, and some people raised their cameras to take pictures.
The next moment, the crackling sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out, making the mountain village suddenly become very lively.
Such a welcome scene made Luo Kai a little embarrassed, he quickly slowed down the car and stopped steadily, quickly unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door to get down.
Familiar faces are close in front of you, Daddy Luo, Luo Kainiang, uncle, third uncle, Luo Hui, brother-in-law, cousin, cousin... and the blind date of the father and elder in the village.
And tourists?
Those men and women holding cameras and mobile phones, with excited and excited faces are obviously not from Luojia Village, but there are more people than the villagers, and they are undoubtedly tourists who come to Luojia Village to play.
"Dad!"
Luo Kai stepped forward and beckoned, "Why are there so many people? ”
Luo Kainiang smiled: "I know that when you come back, everyone will come to pick you up, I can't persuade you, and these..."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over her son and fell on Mo Lan, who had just gotten out of the car.
Her fairy daughter-in-law is also here!
