Chapter 123: The young man left home and the eldest returned

Just as Wang Yong's family was worried about the increasing number of letters and packages, a shiny black Audi 100 sedan slowly drove north of the village.

This kind of high-end sedan that used to be distributed by government departments at least municipal or even provincial leaders, although it is not as good as the new Audi A6 in all aspects, but because it represents, or the class it once represented, it is still a high-profile existence wherever it goes.

What's more, the license plate of this car turned out to be Yan C00002, this license plate even people who don't understand the rules for the use of license plates know that the car with such a license plate can be hung up, and it is definitely not small.

The car drove slowly and lone on the road into Wangjiazhuang, because the road is now paved with concrete, most of all the roads are closed, and all the vehicles coming and going can only drive forward cautiously little by little.

When you encounter a car coming from the opposite side, you can only have one car that has nowhere to meet the car, and retreat to the place where the car can pass, and contact a driving school test subject - side parking.

"Hey! His third uncle, you see a four-lap car! ”

"Where? Where? Let me see? ”

"You see, isn't that? It's the same as Wang Hai's car, it's all four laps! It's just that it doesn't seem to be as good-looking and atmospheric as Wang Hai's car! It's not good to look square! ”

"Damn! No way? ”

"His third uncle, what's wrong?"

"yes, what's your nerves again?"

"You know! Take a good look at the license plate number of this car and see clearly! ”

"Swallow C00002? Such a small number? ”

"So awesome?"

"Whose car is this?"

"His third uncle? Do you know what's so particular about this license plate? ”

"Hey! Don't underestimate that people's cars are not as beautiful as Wang Hai's, don't you know who is sitting inside? ”

"Who?"

"Tell me quickly? Don't sell it, what's the smelly show? ”

"you! Why are you everywhere? You know what you say! ”

"His third uncle, okay, okay, don't be like his kid, you can tell everyone about it. What's the origin of this license plate? ”

"Let me tell you, this is the number two car in our city! It's the mayor's car! ”

"Huh?"

"The mayor is here?"

"Why is the mayor coming to our village again?"

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and inform the old secretary to go!"

The Audi 100, which had not heard the discussion of this group of people, still drove slowly towards the village, although it was slow but very determined, and drove in the direction of Wangjiazhuang into the village.

When the Audi with the Yan C00002 slowly drove into Wangjiazhuang, the speed became lower, and even a child could keep up with it while trotting.

However, compared with other villages of the same era, which do not necessarily see a car all year round, Wangjiazhuang is undoubtedly a very special exception.

Wang Hai's family alone has more than ten cars! Large trucks for transporting goods, passenger shuttles for passengers. There are also two high-end cars that Wang Hai just drove back from the capital.

This is not counting Liu Biao's car that has almost grown here for a day! What's more, after the village gradually became richer, several families had already bought cars.

Some people bought a large truck to run transportation or simply do their own business to transport goods, or bought a Dafa and Chang'an van, which were the most popular in the countryside during this period, to run a taxi.

There are also government officials and business people who come to visit and study all day and night, and many people who come to negotiate business by car.

In short, in Wangjiazhuang, cars are not rare at all. However, the passengers in this Audi face such a "weird" phenomenon. But it has already been discussed.

"Grandpa, it seems that the people here are very timid, huh? Don't you see anyone chasing our car to see the novelty? ”

A beautiful young girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, holding the arm of a gray-haired old man with both hands, said coquettishly. The sound is very crisp and pleasant.

"Hehe, Miss Li, the situation here is different from other places in the mainland. This place has changed a lot in recent years, if you had been here a few years ago. It's sure to be the kind of scene you imagine. But now, they're not timid as you would say, but they're not new to cars at all. ”

The driver of the car is looking ahead. drove seriously, while explaining, but I didn't expect to immediately attract the refutation of the beautiful little girl.

"How is that possible? Doesn't it mean that the rural areas of the mainland are very poor? There is not even electricity, let alone any household appliances! My classmates all say that mainlanders, especially in rural areas, now live in grass huts! ”

The driver didn't say anything more, just twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally. After that, he continued to pay full attention to the situation outside the car, and carefully drove the car towards the village and continued to move slowly.

He really had nothing to say about what the little girl said. As long as the eyes are not blind, the new houses built of red bricks and bluestone outside the car window stand on both sides of the road, how can there be a shadow of a thatched house? I'm Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, and I've never seen a grass hut like when I've grown so big.

"Light rain! Don't talk nonsense! ”

The white-haired old man frowned very displeasedly, turned his head and scolded. His reaction made the little girl very dissatisfied, and she shook the old man's arm a few times angrily, and when she saw that her grandfather was really angry, she began to be coquettish again.

"Xiaoyu, I told you a long time ago, don't listen to the nonsense of your classmates, you just don't listen. Do you look at these houses outside the car window, whether it is a new house or an old house, is there one of the thatched huts you are talking about? ”

A man sitting in the passenger seat with short hair, sunglasses, and words Ah, still wearing a black suit in such a hot summer, meticulously paying attention to the movement outside the car, said suddenly.

"Brother Qiang, you also laugh at me? I'm not going to be nice to you! Hum! ”

The little girl turned her head, looking very angry, and a hint of pity appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth. Seeing that the little granddaughter had a little temper, the old man did not comfort and persuade, but turned his head and carefully looked at everything outside the car through the window glass.

The little girl pretended to be angry and leaned on the window next to her to look at the scenery outside the window that made her very bored for a while, and then she couldn't bear to turn around.

"Grandpa, is this where you were born? It's so backward! ”

"Yes! This is the village where my grandfather was born. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he seemed to be caught in the middle of the meeting, his eyes fixed on the car window. I don't know what I'm thinking. Probably remembering the happy or painful or dull days in this village as a child?

"But why is this so broken? Even the small towns in Los Angeles are much more prosperous than here! The roads are all dirt roads, and the houses are all low bungalows, and there is not even a single building! Look at that kid! How dirty his hands are! Why don't you eat ice cream without washing your hands? ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A series of applause made it unaccustomed to seeing anything, and the little girl who was picking thorns everywhere turned her head curiously to look ahead. A large group of people are coming together, probably welcoming us! The little girl thought.

The car quickly came to a halt, and the driver got out of the car first and walked towards the welcoming crowd.

"Secretary Zhao, where did you get the news?"

"Hehe, I said Xiao Guo, don't you look at who I am? It's not me who blows. No matter who you are, as long as you enter the realm of our Wangjiazhuang, you won't be able to escape my eyes! By the way, what about the mayor? Why don't we come down yet? ”

Zhao, the secretary and village elder of Wangjiazhuang, enthusiastically held the hand of the driver Xiao Guo, but his eyes were secretly looking at the mayor's special car.

"Hehe, don't look at it, the mayor didn't come today! On the orders of the mayor, I came to send an old man who went out for your Wangjiazhuang to come and have a look. ”

"The people who went out of Wangjiazhuang? In the mayor's car? Still going to look around? Lao Zhao frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, a name appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Is it Li Minghua?"

Xiao Guo glanced at Secretary Zhao in surprise, and didn't understand how he knew about this. You must know that the old man asked the city to help him keep it secret, but how did Lao Zhao know?

"Oops!" Lao Zhao slapped his thigh. "I'm sorry, Xiao Guo, you see I just remembered, I still have an urgent matter to do, like this. I'll ask the accountant Lao Liu to accompany you to receive them, and I'll go to get busy first, sorry? ”

After speaking. didn't give Xiao Guo a chance to speak at all, turned around and got into the crowd that became silent, and soon disappeared, never to be seen again.

"This old Zhao, is this what is going on?"

Lao Zhao, who squeezed out of the crowd and hurriedly prepared to go home to call his superiors to ask what was going on, had just walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, stopped and looked around, and then whispered to two villagers who had nothing to do and were basking in the sun at the base of the wall ten meters away to his right:

"You two, come here, come here! yes, that means you two, get the hell out of here! ”

When the two came to Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao immediately whispered a few words in their ears, and then he slipped away in the crowd watching the excitement.

"Have you heard? The descendants of Mr. Li's family came back then. It is said that their family heirlooms were buried in their main house, and they just took advantage of this return to China to rebuild the yard of their ancestral house and dig up those things. ”

"Didn't you say that he was taken to the United States by his parents?"

"How is it possible, isn't it him? Didn't you say you died outside? ”

"Can this be wrong? Let me tell you, this guy's story is quite legendary. ”

"Okay, okay, don't sell it, hurry up, tell us about it."

"Yes, yes, tell us what you know."

"Ah, well, ahem, this throat is a little dry, if only I could eat popsicles!"

"It's really lazy and pee! Lao Gao, bring me some popsicle ice cream, press the head of the person, I'll have a treat! ”

Chewing on a cold popsicle in his mouth, the story of a legend's past slowly unfolds in everyone's minds.

The old man's name was Wang Li Minghua, and he was born in 1915 in an ordinary peasant family in this small village. Here he spent his carefree childhood, and then one day in 1931, his parents went out to tell him that he had gone to visit relatives, but never returned.

After he had no one to discipline him, he quickly lost his family's wealth, and then after eating a hundred family meals for half a year, not long after the 918 incident, Li Minghua quietly left the village where he was born and raised, and no one has seen him since. (To be continued......)
