Of course, all of this is just Lieutenant Colonel Gu's rough speculation, from the inexplicable familiarity of his companions born in his own military camp from his years of professional instinct. borrowed a certain advertising line, and it is still that familiar taste.

The car that Lieutenant Colonel Gu specially borrowed was not used, and Xiao Chen drove a Land Rover directly from the airport parking lot. The reason why the car is parked at the airport is also a coincidence. Song Youcheng, who is not worrying about being unusual, and can barely be called a piece of fresh meat, happened to be filming a Republic of China drama here in Suzhou City, and the car was his.

Although there was already a car rental in 04, it was far less convenient than it was more than ten years later. Since there are ready-made ones, Song Youcheng returned to Yanjing for the New Year and did not drive his car back during the New Year, which is naturally the best.

The car borrowed by Lieutenant Colonel Gu is just an ordinary car, the chassis is a bit low, and the earthquake resistance is poor, if you drive in the city, there is no big problem, and if you change it to a yellow mud road in the countryside, you have to have a close contact with the rugged road.

Speaking of which, it was the first time that I had returned to the countryside, and everything was quite fresh at first, but with the bumpy road and bumpy roads, I slowly felt uncomfortable.

"Also, how long will it take?" Xiao Yi covered his mouth, suppressed the feeling of regurgitation, and asked Lieutenant Colonel Gu, who was sitting in the passenger seat leading the way.

Xiao Chen, who was in charge of driving, glanced at Xiao Yi in the back seat through the rearview mirror in the car, and without waiting for Lieutenant Colonel Gu to speak, he said, "Yi, there are sugar ginger slices in the cabinet under the seat." ”

"Oh. Xiao Yi looked down and rummaged, and after a while, he found the sugar ginger slices. In addition to this, there is also the wind oil essence. Xiao Yi, who never knew that he would get motion sickness because of this, quickly grabbed two pieces of sugar ginger and put them in his mouth. As for the small bottle of wind oil essence, it was put in the pocket of the jeans.

At the airport, Lieutenant Colonel Gu felt uncomfortable for a moment when Xiao Yi did not choose to take the car he specially borrowed. But at this time, seeing that Xiao Yi had symptoms of motion sickness, his originally white and red face was a little pale, and he was somewhat distressed. The idea was uncomfortable, so naturally I didn't care too much about it.

The airport is located on the outskirts of the city, one east and one southwest of the town, in two directions. When the plane landed safely, it was close to noon. Originally, according to Xiaoyi's consistent temperament, he naturally went to the city to find the most distinctive local delicacies and rub them first.

Because there is a mother who is not bad for money, although she will not deliberately pursue any brand-name luxury goods, most of the time she spends money quite generously. Especially in terms of food, I have enjoyed precious ingredients worth tens of thousands of dollars, such as black truffles and top-quality Wagyu beef, and more than once. The spicy crayfish in the food stalls of the roadside night market are spicy and hot, and the donkey meat is burned...... Also a big fan. As long as it is delicious, as long as it is genuine, there are no messy things that should not be added, Zhao Qingru has never minded the price.

This habit has also affected many people. As Zhao Qingru's only daughter-in-law, Xiao Yi naturally has the same example, and together with his younger brother Xiao An, he successfully lit up the attribute of "foodie".

So this time I came to Lieutenant Colonel Gu's hometown, passed through S City, and it happened to be noon, and I was very accustomed to thinking of finding a local authentic restaurant first and rubbing it first. Who would have thought that Lieutenant Colonel Gu, who was used to being diligent and thrifty, would never think about eating out at all. In his opinion, there was no need to turn into the city, drive back to town, and then back to the countryside. At home, he asked his mother to prepare lunch early in the morning.

"That's it, let's go straight home. My mother has already prepared the meal. Lieutenant Colonel Gu obviously also noticed that Xiao Yi didn't seem to be very happy, so he added an additional sentence, "That is usually the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and most of those well-known characteristic hotels have not yet opened at this time...... I'll bring you back in two days. ”

"It's okay, I'm not that hungry. ”

The city is also a tourist city in the south of the Yangtze River, and this kind of New Year's Day has not officially opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to fool children. Xiao Chen was not a mouthy-tongued master, and this idea of ridicule turned in his heart, and then he couldn't help but remember what the chief had specially told her before leaving.

This time, only ears and hands and feet are brought, and the others are not seen as long as they do not involve the personal safety of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Chen thought of the villain surnamed Yu, although he always sneered at himself, but this time he came over and secretly put a lot of high-calorie chocolates and compressed biscuits in her small backpack, for fear that she would be hungry.

Now look, perhaps...... Chocolate and compressed biscuit belts are missing.

Looking back on the way home, although Xiaoyi was a little motion sick, she didn't vomit, of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that there is basically not much food in her stomach.

After driving for more than an hour from the airport and driving for more than 20 minutes on the rugged mountain roads, you can be regarded as entering the village. Lieutenant Colonel Gu's hometown is located in the middle of the village, with three half-room low-rise bungalows side by side. Afterwards, Xiao Yi learned that even the low bungalow did not belong to the Gu family, and the property rights belonged to the village collective. The Gu family just rented the warehouse of the village collective's rice drying field.

Poor. Although Lieutenant Colonel Gu had been vaccinated with Xiaoyi earlier, he vaguely mentioned that his family's conditions were not very good. Xiaoyi didn't pay much attention to it, after all, she was not the kind of girl who hated the poor and loved the rich.

In the past ten or twenty years in primary one, the boys of the same age from good families around them can't be counted with a pair of hands, and there are many powerful and rich people who rival the country, and I don't feel that these boys are much different from ordinary people's families, although sometimes they are really arrogant. can be beaten, and in the end, it won't be wow-wow-wow crying.

Moreover, Xiao Yi's father, Zhou Wentao's Zhou family, don't look at the development of Pudong, the magic capital, is quite prosperous now. At that time, on the other side of the Huangpu River, there was a well-known poor shantytown. A two-story house with an attic, where four or five families live, it is difficult to turn around. It was raining heavily, it was raining lightly inside, and the pots and pans were jingling.

So, being poor is not terrible. Through their own labor, the family can work together to improve their lives.

It's just that......

"Why don't you build a house?" Xiao Yi couldn't help it, so he was secretly curious.

"My father and mother have worked hard all their lives, and as the only son, they should be responsible for providing for the elderly. "I remember that at that time, Lieutenant Colonel Gu told Xiao Yi like this.

After that, in fact, it didn't take long for Xiao Yi to hear a more complete set of rhetoric from the old lady of the Gu family.

"Our family Yongzi is a dignified master, and now he is stationed at the end of the magic capital, and he is from the city. Go back and marry a girl in the city, if this girl wants to marry our family's Yongzi, she must at least marry a house and a car. When the time comes, my old man and I will be able to move in with ......."

At that time, Xiao Yi still learned about the situation of Lieutenant Colonel Gu's family from his mother Zhao Qingru.

Although the village where the Gu family is located is not too wealthy, because the geographical location is not too far from the town, in recent years, most of the families have built two-story small buildings. The Gu family, on the other hand, is one of the poorest families in the village, with neither homesteads nor responsible fields.

Of course, when the initial reform and opening up was divided into households, the village also gave the Gu family responsibility fields according to the head, and the old man of the Gu family, that is, the deceased grandfather of Lieutenant Colonel Gu, had quite good gestures, and when he drew lots, he caught high-yield paddy fields. As for the homestead or something, it is impossible for the village to deliberately deduct it.

Whether it is the responsible field, or the homestead and the house, it all makes Lieutenant Colonel Gu's father, the old man Gu who is addicted to gambling, lose. Old man Gu has three hobbies, one is drinking, he can't move and comes to drink two glasses of wine every morning, noon and evening, and the other is gambling and rubbing mahjong.

Don't look at it every time, it's a few dollars a piece, and it's quite scary to add up to a few laps. Especially to catch up with Old Man Gu's stinky hands that have been like a day for decades, he will almost lose every gamble. lost money and drank alcohol, so the third hobby of beating the old (female) mother-in-law (person) was successfully opened.

After the old man Gu lost all his family resources, the family who did not have a piece of tile to cover their heads had to move to live in the warehouse of the collective grain drying field in the village under the village head's Zhang Luo. That is, from that moment on, Old Man Gu could be regarded as having a conscience that discovered it, and he no longer gambled on large amounts, at most a few cents a piece. The problem of beating the old (female) mother-in-law (people) has also been reduced because of age.

Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Gu has known since he was a child that he can only hope to become a man of man if he studies and leaves his life. Lieutenant Colonel Gu, who graduated from high school and failed the college entrance examination and failed to be admitted to a first-class university, decisively chose to enlist in the army because it coincided with conscription.

Lieutenant Colonel Gu has always been very clear about what he wants.

Or maybe the clock should go back a few days.

The car stopped steadily on the flat ground in front of the barnyard, and Lieutenant Colonel Gu took the lead in getting out of the car, helping to open the rear door, and his face was still a little pale and got out of the car. Hearing the movement, the old man Gu didn't come out, but the old lady of the Gu family stood by the threshold at the door of the house, looking up and down Xiao Yi and Xiao Chen who walked down from the car with critical eyes.

Xiao Chen's movements were one step faster than Xiao Yi's, because of the parking angle, the old lady of the Gu family was naturally the first to see Xiao Chen. To say that Xiao Chen is at that age, he is not much older than a year younger. As soon as they met, the old lady of the Gu family was not very happy.

Hey, isn't it a good-looking city girl, what's ...... This is also ordinary, it is not as beautiful as the lotus flower of the village chief's house. My Yongzi is a dignified teacher, and he is an official master. Even if it's the niece of the old man's family...... Ay~

Before the old lady of the Gu family could sigh, she saw her baby son get out of the passenger seat, then go around the rear of the car and open the door in the back row.

What? Who did my Yongzi open the door to? This, isn't this the work done by those servants in the play?

However, in the blink of an eye, the old lady of the Gu family had a slight impression that Xiao Yi, who came to the door for the first time, might become her daughter-in-law in the city in the future, and her favorability plummeted by several percentage points.

"Mother, this is the daughter-in-law that Yongzi found for you, she looks ...... It's pretty good. Just as the old lady of the Gu family was standing near the threshold, looking Xiao Yi up and down, and behind her, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family, the sister of Lieutenant Colonel Gu, also walked out of the house because she heard the movement.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family took her son and returned to her parents' house according to the custom, because she heard that her younger brother would bring his girlfriend to meet her father and mother on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so she has been staying at her parents' house for the past few days. Because the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family is the first child of the Gu family, she has been more favored than her only son, Lieutenant Colonel Gu, since she was a child, and the one with the least status is naturally the second aunt of the Gu family.

Because she has been favored since she was a child, the aunt of the Gu family has inherited the Gu family's laziness well, and she is not allowed to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, and she is not busy in her in-law's house. The aunt of the Gu family naturally prefers to stay in her parents' house and be lazy. The aunt of the Gu family has always been "good at talking", and she is even more reluctant to jump during the Chinese New Year, so she does not stop her mother-in-law from staying at her mother's house.

Although the aunt of the Gu family has always lived in the town, because now that life is rich, you can often see some valuable cars in the town, and the aunt of the Gu family is a car fan, always thinking that it would be good if she could get an off-road vehicle with good performance in this life.

After going back and forth, the aunt of the Gu family also gained some knowledge, and quickly recognized the black car parked on the flat ground of the barn floor at this time, which turned out to be a Land Rover worth millions. The aunt of the Gu family suddenly brightened up, and even looked at Xiao Yi's gaze more and more hot.

People are indeed one of the best beauties, but their faces are not very good, and they look sick.

"Mother, sister, this is the girl I mentioned to you before, Zhao Yi, this distant cousin Xiao Chen who came with Yi. Lieutenant Colonel Gu briefly introduced the two sides for the first time, "Yi, this is my mother and eldest sister." ”

"Hello aunt, hello eldest sister. I'm Zhao Yi. Xiao Yiluo smiled generously.

"Well, let's go inside, it's cold outside. The old lady of the Gu family, who came back to her senses, nodded at Xiao Yi, and then turned around and entered the house. The aunt of the Gu family was more enthusiastic than her own old lady, especially when she saw that Xiao Chen opened the trunk behind the car and took out the greeting gift, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

Lieutenant Colonel Gu wanted to step forward to help move the box of wine out of the trunk, but Xiao Chen refused without a trace, so he had to help carry the tropical fruit gift box. Xiao Yi immediately carried a few light gift boxes in his hands.

When he came, the car was on the air conditioner, and Xiao Yi took off his cashmere coat. I got out of the car at this time, and as soon as the little cold wind blew like this, I put it on again. I thought that when I got inside, it wouldn't get cold. Who would have thought that after entering the house, they would find that the temperature in this house was not a few degrees higher than outside.

When it was terrible, because the windows were closed and not breathable, there was a strange smell in the room. The smell was a combination of inferior smoke, carbonic acid, garlic, leek, musty, and fermented feces and urine.

However, the breakfast I ate in the morning in my stomach has long been digested, and only sour water remains.

The old man of the Gu family, who was sitting in the main seat and didn't move, saw that Xiao Yi vomited inexplicably, and after looking at each other, they immediately realized something.

No, I don't mean it......

Isn't our Yongzi a master or capable......

Okay, it's good to have it, turn around and enter our Gu family with a big belly, and it depends on whether our Gu family is willing to enter the door of the girl in this city. This belly is getting bigger day by day, and it should be this girl's family that should be anxious.

This girl's parents have to buy a house with at least three bedrooms in the center of the magic city, and they have to have a car. Looking back, I can live with Yongzi and his father, and Reiko and his grandson can also live in. Just in case, this house has to write the name of our family......

Xiao Yi, who was lying on the threshold and was busy spitting sour water, didn't know that with such a little effort, Lieutenant Colonel Gu's father-in-law had already calculated most of the things back and forth.

It's also a shame that I can't read minds, otherwise I'll be happy. The old man of the Zhao family, the father of Zhao, and the old man of the Xu family, who had already received the box lunch, had to jump out of the urn.

The daughter of our Zhao/Xu family can't take the turn of not knowing the so-called Gu family to be so bad!
