The car home drove very fast, and after 2 hours, he entered the territory of Huazun, Liu Zhao looked at the fleeting scenery outside the window and rarely spoke, his mind was not here.

Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Master Li said, "Relatively, go home directly?" ”

Liu Zhao came back to his senses, looked at the big billboard of 'Hua Zun welcomes you', and said in silence: "Please ask Uncle Li to turn around in Sigong Town and go to a friend's house." ”

Uncle Li didn't speak, the steering wheel turned off the asphalt road, and drove directly to Sigong Town.

Sigong Town is in the westernmost part of Huazun, close to Jinmen City, composed of 12 natural villages, and the village is in the middle of the town, and the car drove for more than 20 minutes to the entrance of the village.

The road in the village was very narrow, and the stacks of wheat on the side of the road made the narrow road even more congested, so Liu asked Uncle Li to park the car there, and pushed the door and walked down by himself.

It was almost dusk, the sun had not yet set, the golden sunlight sprinkled the whole street, there were very thick willow trees on the side of the road with the wind swaying their branches, some people under the tree sat on the bluestone at the door with rice bowls, it seemed that dinner was very early, a few yellow dogs chased each other and ran on the road, they were not afraid to see strangers coming, they stood there and stared closely at the willows, there were a few bare-ass dolls crying and being held in the arms of the women, and at this time the women patted them while casting their curious eyes on the willows.

Ryu smiled and nodded at them, walking slowly.

He was matching these faces that were not yet old with their appearance in his memory, and the smile was on his face and flowing in his heart.

Yes, this village is familiar to him, very familiar, his daughter in the previous life grew up here, and these people on the side of the road have all hugged it.

This is Xia Mei's hometown.

During the trip to Kyoto, he asked Master Li to go to the small courtyard he had rented in his previous life, but Liu relatively did not find a trace of his memory there, he was very sad, because none of the things he was familiar with had not yet appeared, and he even doubted that those things he was once familiar with would not appear again because of his variable.

That was where he and Xia Mei first stayed in Kyoto for a long time, and it was also the most difficult period of difficulty in the early days of Liu Relative's graduation, in that hut of only a dozen square meters, he and Xia Mei suffered a lot together, and also enjoyed the simplest happiness, he wanted to go back to see, but in the end he didn't go in, because he knew that the current place was not where it used to be.

The moment he withdrew his hand, he missed Xia Mei like never before.

So he suddenly wanted to see the new home that Xia Mei moved to later, although she may not be there now, but who knows?

Xia Mei's mother is an educated youth, in the previous life, I heard Xia Mei talk about the past when she and her parents kept moving, before the second year of high school, they always had no fixed place, with the change of their father's career and the transfer of their mother's work, they kept migrating like migratory birds, until they finally moved to the clutch village, and their mother went to teach in the middle school in the town, and they were stable.

Now at this moment, Xia Mei, Liu Zhao didn't know where it was, and he didn't ask them about their past.

At the end of the main street, turn right into an alley, there is a small courtyard on the left, and the willow stop in front of the wooden gate.

Two years later, this should be Xia Mei's home.

The door was unlocked, and with a gentle push, the door opened, and he hesitated and walked in.

The yard is not too big, both sides are full of vegetables, near the door of the house is a pressurized water well, a young man is squatting there from the pressurized water well to scoop water out, saw Liu Xiang stood up, puzzled asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Eh, may I ask if this family is surnamed Xia?"

He didn't know the young man, but Liu asked with a glimmer of hope.

"You're looking for the wrong one, my surname is Zhang."

The young man shook his head, then he scratched his head and said with a smile: "There doesn't seem to be a family surnamed Xia in our village, are you mistaken?" ”

His face is honest and simple from the inside out.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

Liu was relatively disappointed, his Xia Mei had not yet come.

"What's the name of the person you're looking for? The neighbors know each other well, and maybe someone will know about it. ”

The young man saw the disappointment on Liu Relative's face, he put the scoop down, shook the water in his hand casually, and said enthusiastically.

"No, thanks, I'll look elsewhere." Ryu declined the young man's kindness, and he turned around.

The toon tree in the south corner was now very red and green, and the call of the magpie above attracted Liu Xiang's eyes, and then he paused and stopped where he was.

The toon tree is very short, the main trunk grows to less than a meter and then splits off, and stands there like a large slingshot, and there is no vegetable growing under the tree, it is a small depression.

It's still like this here, until Xia Mei's family bought it, and it remained unchanged until 2014, when he left.

This place is Liu Han's childhood play paradise, the depression of the ground is her castle, the muddy years are her three years old, the forked toon tree is her Trojan horse, and her dream of traveling the world is her six years old, which is sprinkled with the laughter of her daughter's pinched clay figure and the tears that almost fell under the tree, when Liu Zhao looks over, she seems to be still there.

"What's wrong?" The young man behind him looked at the stunned Liu and asked suspiciously.

"Oh. It's okay. Ryu turned around and replied, he hesitated, and then asked, "Is your house ready to be sold?" ”

The young man was stunned, and he hurriedly shook his head, "No, I haven't heard my mother mention it." ”

Liu didn't stop there, he walked out of the courtyard quickly, leaving behind the stunned young man.

But he didn't think much about it, shook his head helplessly and returned to the pressurized water well.

At that time, there was unguarded trust and affection between people.

Looking back at the wooden door that was not closed, thinking about the iron door that was later replaced, the words that had been written on it crookedly, thinking of Xia Mei standing there like that, holding her daughter in her arms, and talking to him in a calm voice, Liu Zhi's heart was full of warmth.

"Now we are very unhappy, but we are happy, no matter how difficult you are, don't forget that there is still us."

"You just have to go and break in, I have me at home."

"When you're tired and bored, you come home."

Xia Mei liked to speak calmly and express quietly, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

The sunset is also shining in the west as it is now, sprinkled with gold.

But it was still in the same sky, in this old place, the old man, but not there.

Xia Mei, no matter where you are in this world, in this life, I will definitely find you back and let you live the happiest life

After returning from Kyoto, Yanagi began to get busy, and while helping out in the store, he had an extra job, which was to chat with customers, whether they were new customers or old customers, whenever there was a gap between them.

The delicate Deng Wei noticed this change in Liu Relative, and she still discovered the main content of his conversation through careful listening, mainly asking some questions about the degree of discrimination of rice quality by end consumers, the degree of price acceptance, and the acceptance of new varieties by these customers.

Deng Wei knew that Liu was preparing for the launch of southern rice.

After the grain store closed, Liu was not idle, and he began to visit the customers with whom he had a strong relationship one by one according to the address left by his father, hoping to work out the best price of southern grain through their feedback.

My father finally called home three days after he left, and it was in the evening.

The phone was answered by Liu Zhuang, his mother was watching TV in the living room, and Liu Relative happened to be by the phone, counting the date, he felt that his father's call should have arrived.

At the beginning of the phone, there was some noise, it seemed that my father was really calling from the public phone booth outside, and after feeding for a long time, my father's voice came clearly: "Relatively, how is your mother's leg?" ”

In the first sentence at the beginning, Liu Rushan was still thinking about his wife's body.

"It's much better, don't worry about it, there's me." Hearing Liu Rushan's voice, Liu Zhao was also very happy, and he asked, "Dad, where are you now?" ”

"In Hui'an, relatively, I really came out right this time, the grain here is really good in terms of price and quality!"

The father's voice revealed excitement, and the tone was very high: "The rice looks very good, I also ate a few meals of rice, the taste is very good, the key is that the price is too different from the rice in the northern east." ”

Ryu had expected this result relatively early, so he didn't seem too surprised, and he was now concerned about whether the rice samples that Ryu Rushan had taken from Kyoto could find something similar.

"Dad, is there any similar rice quality, and what is the price?"

"On the whole, the level is good, because the rice sales here are limited, so the processing plant only collects relatively high-quality rice, and the quality of the rice produced is better than the best we get."

"What about the price?"

Liu Zhi's heart was slightly in his stomach, to be honest, he was still a little apprehensive about giving his father the suggestion of transferring grain from the south to the north, because he hadn't really seen southern rice in this life, and all the impressions came from memory.

"The price is more than a third lower than that of the North East." Liu Rushan replied, he then lowered his voice slightly, suppressed his excitement and said: "Relatively, we have to do a good job this time, I feel that the rice in the south is promising." ”

Liu Zhao could also imagine his father's smiling but suppressed expression on the other end of the phone, so he joked with a smile: "Dad, it seems that you won't stop if you don't send ten cars and eight cars." ”

"With this idea, hehe, this time I will stay a little longer, send a car to test the water, and the response is good, and I will send several cars in a row."

Liu Relative, who left the phone, couldn't help but be happy when he returned to his room, his first step was right, but this was only the first step, the purpose of transporting southern grain was not just to make more money, he had bigger ideas and more far-reaching purposes in the future.
