Early the next morning, Ye Chen's father got up after six o'clock in the morning.

"Ye Chen, I'll go back. You take care of yourself in the city, contact your Uncle Zhao's daughter more, and make an appointment to come out for dinner and watch a movie when you have time. Ye Chen's father knocked on the door twice, and when he saw that there was no response inside, he pushed harder: "Did you hear it?" ”

"I hear you. Ye Chen hurriedly got up and opened the door and said, "I'll go back to the countryside, and the fourth father has done what I told the fourth father before." ”

Ye Chen opened the door and said, went back to the house, put on his clothes and pants, washed up in twos and threes, and went out with his father.

He knew that his father had always risen early.

Deliver to people, pick up goods from the warehouse. Basically, in the summer, my father would get up at dawn, go to the shop and the warehouse, and run around until dark.

Go past the second bridge and leave the city.

In the morning, the air in the mountains is cool, blow and shake the spirit of the day.

Dad Ye opened the window and told Ye Chen to drive slowly and not in a hurry.

"Dad, consider not doing wholesale anymore. Ye Chen took out a box of cigarettes, smoked one for himself, handed it to his father, and continued: "I still have more than eight million cash in my hand. Yesterday, my mother asked me to open a transportation company with my third uncle. I'll pay for it, how about you do the shipping company's business. I found out about it, and the transportation company asked someone to drive it for four or five big trucks. All you do is look at the accounts, usually very leisurely. ”

"You have so much money?"

"I made a fortune before I returned home. I used to like to collect foreign gold coins, but this time I came back and took them out for appraisal by a coin grading company, but I didn't expect to collect two out-of-print coins. Sold for more than a million dollars ......"

"Your mother and I, if you work hard, I want you to have the capital to please your wife. Dad Ye looked back at Ye Chen: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your mother." There is also the matter of the wholesale department, and it is time to hire two or three employees. Or just let your third aunt run the ......"

Back to town.

The town is just starting a day of liveliness.

A small noodle restaurant on the side of the road, with an endless stream of customers.

Ye Chen parked the car on the side of the road not far away, attracting the attention of many people. In Qingshan Town, the Wrangler is still a very eye-catching car......

"Master Mao, three or two rib noodles, enlarged ribs, two bowls. Dad Ye took Ye Chen into the noodle restaurant and found a place to sit down.

Mao Ji noodle restaurant, open for more than 13 hours a day, business is called a good, if you are late for more than ten minutes, there is no place in the noodle restaurant, you can only squat on the side of the road to eat.

Here are Ye Chen's memories when he was a child, and in foreign countries, the most greedy thing is also the taste of Mao Ji Noodle Restaurant. But I can't make that taste by myself......

I waited for a while.

Master Mao came over with his face: "Chen Wazi, when did you come back?"

This sentence, people who know themselves will ask when they see themselves. Ye Chen replied with a smile: "It's only been a few days since I came back." ”

Master Mao didn't put down the noodles he was holding, and added two large ribs when he brought it back: "Uncle Mao invited you to eat today, as if it was for you to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Mao. ”

"By the way, Qingfang is home, you have time to gather. ”

"Good. Ye Chen nodded and ate the noodles.

Eat a piece of pork ribs first to eat noodles, this is Ye Chen's habit. Pork ribs, crispy bones and rotten meat, taste into the bones, and then have a strong aroma of bone oil......

Delicious to the point of pore dilation.

This Mao Ji noodle restaurant is said to have been passed down for several generations and has been written into the list of local cuisines in Mengshan City.

"Mao Qingfang is divorced, you have to grasp the proportions yourself. I still think the daughter of the Zhao family is good, you work hard yourself. Dad Ye whispered.

Ye Chen ate pork ribs and looked up at his father: "Mao Qingfang and I are friends, very ordinary friends." I also think Geesun is good, and I will work hard. ”

"Hey, the first time I've heard you say which girl is good. Ye Chen's father laughed: "Be active in chasing girls." I want to chase your mother back then, then ......"

"Alright. You've been chasing your mom more than a hundred times. Sprinkle a handful of dog food early in the morning, and we can still be happy fathers and sons. ”

Ye Chen's father had a smug smile on his face: "Say it again, man, you have to be thick-skinned." You're just too thin-skinned, and you still don't have a girlfriend. ”

"Dad, can't you find another topic?"

"Okay, eat noodles. ”

A good day, the mood is a little depressed.

After breakfast, Ye Chen sent his father to the wholesale department, and then went back to the village.

Qingshan Town is a large town with an area of 160 square kilometers, 16 administrative villages and one sub-district community, and a total population of nearly 60,000.

Qingshui Village, where Ye Chen is located, is the most remote village in Qingshan Town, with a population of less than 500. From Qingshan Town to Qingshui Village, the first half of the journey is a two-lane road, and the latter part is a single-lane road.

In Mengshan Mountain in July, there is still fog in the mountains. The cool air, if you drive, open the window, blow on the body is still a little cool.

However, the acquaintance in the mountain woods has already called.

The cool air is blowing in the face, and the cement country road that was only repaired the year before last, goes deep into the mountains, Qingshuigou. That is, Shimizu Village......

The village was built in the middle of the valley, the houses were built along the banks of the river, and the whole village was concentrated and not grouped like other villages. Although it is a valley, the terrain is uneven, with ups and downs...... On both sides of the village, there are tall mountains and neat terraced rice fields......

The village is remote and has a small population, and there is a saying that it is the last village in Mengshan. Here, too, each family receives much more land than in other villages. It is the result of the hard work of the older generation, who have opened up barren mountains, opened up more, and received more land. After an hour, the old man loved Ye Chen very much, so he often told Ye Chen the story of opening up the barren mountain......

"Fourth uncle. Ye Chen parked the car in front of the fourth uncle's house and shouted.

"Brother. "The one who opened the door was Ye Xing, the son of the fourth uncle, who is twenty-four years old this year, and it seems that he went to work before graduating from junior high school. A few years ago, Ye Xing also asked him to take him to the United States, and Ye Chen agreed, provided that Ye Xing learned English. Then, the matter dragged on until now, and Ye Xing's English never passed Ye Chen's assessment.

"Ye Xing, when did you come back? ”

"It's up to me to ask you. Ye Xing said and handed a cigarette to Ye Chen, took out a lighter and helped him light it: "I came back yesterday." ”

"I've been back for a few days. Ye Chen smiled and took a puff of cigarette: "I heard that you are going to get married, did your daughter-in-law bring it back?"

"In the house. ”

"What about my sister-in-law, I came back yesterday afternoon, and I saw my aunt in the shop in the town, and said that you went on a blind date. Ye Xing said with a grin.

"At work. Introduce you to another day. Ye Chen already had an idea in his heart, he must chase Zhao Jiyang.

Ye Xing looked at Ye Chen's car: "Wrangler, five or six hundred thousand cars." I knew that I had made up my mind to sign up for an English class...... Ye Xing looked envious.

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders, not knowing what to say. In fact, Ye Xing can take him with him if he doesn't learn English. But if he wants to learn English, it is an assessment, to see his heart. After all, the work you do is not as beautiful and easy as others think. There are thick calluses on the hands, which is the most direct proof of this.

Entering the gate, next to the eaves water tank, a good-looking girl was brushing her teeth.

"My girlfriend, Chen Hui. Ye Xing introduced: "This is my eldest brother, Ye Chen." ”

"Big brother is good. Chen Hui hurriedly rinsed her mouth and shouted.

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "What about the fourth uncle?"

"Feeding the fish outside, should be coming back soon. Ye Xing carried a stool for Ye Chen.
