Chapter 173: Provence of the East

……

When his mother went to the kitchen, Wang Zheng also came to the living room, "Dad, haven't you slept yet?"

"No, it's still early!Xiao Zheng, how is today's blind date?"

"Yes, yes, how was today's blind date?" After Huo Lanxiang came out with half a bowl of vinegar, she picked up her husband's words. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It's not bad, let's watch it everywhere!" Wang Zheng dealt with it casually, and after taking the vinegar bowl in Huo Lanxiang's hand, "Mom, I'm a little tired, go back to sleep first!

After the words fell, Wang Zheng pushed the door and entered his room.

"Hey, you kid...... Remember to drink the vinegar before going to sleep!"

"Got it!"

After giving an instruction, Huo Lanxiang turned back to the sofa and sat down beside her husband, her brows furrowed.

"What do you think? Didn't my son say it? The blind date is not bad!"

"I'm not worried about this!"

"So what are you worried about?"

"Jianguo, I always think my son is very strange today! Think about it, when did he drink so much!"

"Didn't you say that you met Lijun? The two of them have been playing together since they were children, and they haven't seen each other for a few years, so drink some wine and be happy, what's so strange about this!"

"No, I always feel that things are not that simple!"

"You're just thinking all day!"

……

The faint sound of speech in the living room, Wang Zheng didn't care. Lying flat on the bed, because of his free conversation with Xu Lijun, he recalled those memories in his mind that he originally wanted to deliberately forget.

After four years of college and two and a half years of social grinding, he originally thought that he could look at his past calmly, but after he really learned the news of that person, Wang Zheng found that he still couldn't let go of everything.

That slim back was so stubbornly deep in his heart.

Recalling the scenes of three years of high school life, although he was a little dizzy in his mind because of drunkenness, Wang Zheng felt that his heart was never sober.

Time passed little by little, and Wang Zheng didn't know when he fell asleep. By the time he woke up the next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Because of the hangover, there was inevitably some pain in the head.

"Sizzle......!"

Frowning tightly, Wang Zheng pressed his temples on both sides, and glanced at the untouched half bowl of vinegar on the desk next to him. Everything that happened yesterday is vivid.

However, in the end, Wang Zheng now is different from Wang Zheng six years ago. He has been through so much that he has matured and has learned how to deal with his emotions.

After getting up and changing his clothes again, and burying all his memories into the corner of his heart, Wang Zheng pushed the door and walked out.

Outside, Huo Lanxiang was cleaning the room.

"Mom, where's my dad?"

"Go out and play chess!"

"Oh!"

Wang Zheng nodded.

"By the way, son, I've put breakfast in the pot for you. If it's cold, warm it yourself!"

"Got it!" Wang Zheng said yes, Wang Zheng walked into the kitchen, there was a large plate of dumplings on the grate in the aluminum pot on the stove, and the dumpling soup below was still releasing the unfinished heat, faint fragrance, so that Wang Zheng, who was already hungry in his stomach, directly took a dumpling and put it in his mouth.

Leek pork filling, one of his favorites.

Therefore, even if the dumplings were a little cold, Wang Zheng, who didn't care about it, poured some vinegar directly, and then dipped it and ate it.

"Son, are the dumplings still hot?"

Huo Lanxiang's voice came from the living room.

"It's hot!"

"That's good, don't eat cold in winter, it's not good for your stomach!"

A mother's concern was always direct and sincere.

"Got it!"

"By the way, I called this morning to ask. The matchmaker reported that other girls have a good impression of you. …… Son, you have to seize this opportunity! Make more phone calls and text more when you are fine. Also, buy a small gift every time you meet, girls love this!"

"Got it, Mom, I'm not a three-year-old child, I know how to fall in love!" Wang Zheng casually finished breakfast.

"Mom, I'll go back to the villa and come back in the afternoon!"

"Isn't the villa on holiday, are you going back to do it?"

"There are few people during the Chinese New Year, I'll go back to check the safety of the villa, don't lose anything!" Wang Zheng casually made up a reason.

Accustomed to the freedom and ease of life in the cottage, he was really not used to his mother's discipline, especially personal problems.

"When you're done, remember to come back early!" Huo Lanxiang nodded and instructed.

"Got it!"

After answering the sentence, Wang Zheng opened the door and went downstairs. first went to the community where Xu Lijun's grandfather lived to drive the car out, and then returned to the villa with a familiar car.

Along the way, almost every village is filled with the smell of the New Year. Especially in Wangjiawan, because of the existence of the villa, every family has made a lot of money this year, so it is particularly lively.

Wang Zheng just glanced at the hillside and didn't go in.

Although this was once the place where he spent his childhood, more than ten years have passed, and his former friends have long become strange existences. As Qian Zhongshu wrote in "The Siege of the City", 'Although staying away is not the same as temporarily dying, at least it has become strange'. Now Wangjiawan is already a strange place with memories for him.

Shaking his head, Wang Zheng started the car, turned down the hillside, came to the outside of Zaohua Valley, waited until the gate opened, drove all the way in, and stopped in front of the villa.

"Woo......!"

Seeing Wang Zheng coming, Simba, who was lying on the side and taking a nap, immediately roared, shook his head and tail, and stepped over with small steps with an affectionate face.

As the New Year approached, the tourists in the villa were almost cut off, and Wang Zheng also temporarily relaxed the control of these giant beasts in the villa.

Affectionately touched Simba's head, Wang Zheng jumped on its broad back. Compared to Goku, who spends most of his time in the Monkey Valley as the king of the mountain, Simba is more dependent and loyal to him.

Not surprisingly, when Wang Zheng rode Simba to Qinglin Valley, he met Uncle Zhong who was spraying diluted Shennong's animal-type nutrient solution in the fish pond.

Now Uncle Zhong is taking care of several fish ponds where tropical fish are farmed, such as Jiuxiang Valley, Three Valleys, Qinglin Valley, and Blueberry Valley.

"Young Master!"

"This pool has red and white koi fish and vermilion-crowned purple robes, right?" asked Wang Zheng as he jumped down from the lion's back and looked at the water.

Uncle Zhong nodded, "The two kinds of fish have a mild temperament and are suitable for polyculture, but it's a pity that the Vermilion Purple Luo robe is missing!"

By the way, what about Wang Qian and Zhao Kun?"

"Zhao Kun and they are on the construction site of the hotel expansion, Wang Lei and Wang Qian took Hua Kun and them to the village!"

"In the village, Wangjiawan?"

"Yes!" Uncle Zhong nodded.

"What are they doing there?"

"Didn't we buy the homestead in Wangjiawan, Wang Lei plans to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to redecorate those vacant old houses, and wait until next year to open to interested tourists. ”

"Wang Lei is quite positive!" Wang Zheng nodded with a smile.

He had mentioned to Wang Lei once before the idea of turning Wangjiawan into a 'farmhouse' tourism project in Taoyuan Villa. Originally, this matter was implemented after the completion of the second expansion project of the Villa Hotel, but I didn't expect Wang Lei to start now.

"Uncle Zhong, you get busy first, I'll go over and take a look!"

"Yes, young master!"

It was obvious that he could no longer ride Simba when he went to Wangjiawan, and after leaving it in the valley, Wang Zheng walked to Wangjiawan alone.

Compared with the desertion of the past, Wangjiawan now looks much more lively than in the past. Because of the Chinese New Year, young people who worked or studied outside have returned here, adding a bit of vitality to this small village in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, which is dying.

Wang Zheng walked among them, and almost no one knew him except for people he knew very well. In more than ten years, everything has changed too much.

Along the narrow dirt road, Wang Zheng came to the mountainside, where he had lived in an old house for more than a month.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Wang Lei, who was holding the drawings to explain to several police hygienists who were in charge of construction and transformation, and next to him was Wang Gan, who was standing with his arms crossed.

Seeing Wang Zheng come in, everyone stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to greet them. After nodding his head, Wang Zheng took the drawings in Wang Lei's hand and looked at them twice.

As something in his college major, although Wang Zheng has been thrown away for a long time, he can still understand the decoration drawings at a glance.

"Is this your renovation plan?"

"Yes! In order to maintain the mountain village style of Wangjiawan itself, we do not plan to make too many changes to the external stone walls and tile roofs throughout the renovation project, mainly to repair. The focus of the project is on the interior, and there are two main points, one is the garden design of the courtyard, and the other is the modern renovation of the house, including smooth and beautifully pasted wallpaper walls, solid wood floors, completely modern furniture, etc.! To sum up, the purpose of the whole renovation project is to change the dilapidated and aesthetically pleasing farmhouse into a farmhouse with the appearance of a farmhouse!

“…… In addition, we have a plan to renovate the entire village of Wangjiawan, including replacing dirt roads with stone roads, replacing old and dilapidated wooden bridges with stone bridges, cleaning and beautifying drainage ditches, and replanting farmland with lavender and roses, and so on......!"

As he spoke, Wang Lei took out a tablet computer from his bag, and after opening it, more than a dozen renderings of the farmhouse and Wangjiawan after the renovation was completed were presented in front of Wang Zheng.

There is no doubt that the scenery of Wangjiawan after the completion of the renovation shown on the picture will definitely attract anyone's eye. If everything can be built according to the renderings, then Wang Zheng has every reason to believe that Wangjiawan will become the 'Provence' of the East!

But beautiful is beautiful, and beautiful things come down to 'money' in the end.
