Dong Xin drove around the road and walked forward.

From one dirt road you can turn into another, pass through several other villages, bypass the road that is being repaired, and return to the road leading to your hometown. The roads between villages are accessible in all directions, like a woven net. If one of them doesn't work, you can find another way, just a long detour.

Zheng Fei and Wang Tian stayed in the cockpit to chat with Wang Xiao.

When passing through the potholed dirt road, Zheng Fei saw that the houses on both sides of the street were very dilapidated, and in her concept, they were almost uninhabitable. She was very shocked by this situation, and felt that the gap between the rich and the poor was really big, which was a rare personal experience for her, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy in her heart.

"Wang Xiao, don't you often say that you want to do charity? Let's make more efforts in charity after we go back this time! It suddenly occurred to me that there were so many people in this world who needed help. Maybe we can help them a lot with a little bit of effort. If you have the ability to do it, why not? ”

After seeing a few villagers enjoying the shade under the trees, Zheng Fei couldn't help but say.

Just now she saw a child squatting on the ground eating, there was only somen noodles with clear soup and little water in the rice bowl, and she couldn't see any dishes, no oil and water, and there was really no nutrition. The child also looked yellow and thin, and was obviously malnourished for a long time. This made her feel very painful in her heart, it was really pitiful, and she deserved sympathy.

She even thought that she had always thought that she had encountered hardships in her life, but compared to these poor families, she was nothing at all. Her difficulties are only occasional, but these poor families are always living in dire straits. Compared to poor people like you, she is really living a heavenly happy life.

Wang Xiao sighed lightly and said, "Fei Fei, after seeing such a dilapidated place, is it particularly touching?" Compared with these people, our living conditions are really good, and we should live happily with gratitude. ”

Zheng Stubble nodded, his eyes were a little moist, and said, "Well, it's too much beyond my imagination." ”

Wang Tian interjected puzzled: "Brother and sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?" What are you talking about? This place isn't too shabby! Although the new houses along the road are not beautifully built, they are still okay to see. ”

Wang Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "Silly girl, what do you know?" You get used to it, and of course you don't think there's anything. But Fei Fei ...... Your sister-in-law, I'm afraid it's the first time I've seen such a dilapidated place. She was, of course, surprised. ”

Zheng Fei sighed: "I think the houses on both sides of the highway are okay, although the floors are a little shorter, although the decoration is a little worse, but they can always shelter from the wind and rain." However, I was really worried about whether there would be any people living in some of the houses I had just seen. Obviously, it is a dilapidated house, which is windy in winter and leaks rain in summer, so how much you have to suffer! ”

Wang Tian smiled: "Sister-in-law, you have such a good heart." Actually, it's okay, the countryside is like this, life is much better than before. But there are rich and poor everywhere, even in the countryside. The rich eat fragrant and spicy food every day, and the poor have problems with three meals a day. Especially when you meet people who are lazy and lazy, and they are infected with smoking, alcohol and gambling, then the situation must be very bad.

Or if there is a disabled patient in the family, the situation will not be too easy. But there are not many people who are too poor, and there are generally some extremely poor people in every village, and most of them still have no problem having enough to eat. Even if you go to school, build a house, and marry a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid these are still stressful. Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry too much about how much better our side is. Because under the contact of my brother, we have built an enterprise for the deep processing of agricultural products, and people's living standards are generally relatively high! The condition of my house is better. ”…,

"Hmm." Zheng Fei hugged Wang Tian and didn't say much.

Wang Xiao glanced at Zheng Fei embarrassedly, shook his head and belittled Wang Tian and said, "Country girl, I haven't seen the world, and my realm is very low. Don't laugh at her, she has been to the county as far as she goes, and she doesn't understand anything. ”

Wang Tian was unconvinced: "I'm not stupid!" I was the smartest in school, I was in the top three in my grade in every exam, and I was expected to be a talented girl close to the highest universities, much better than when you were in high school. ”

Wang smiled and said, "Yes, you are better than me." But your sister-in-law is from a big city, and her realm is beyond your comprehension. You're just staring at your own money, but your sister-in-law is very compassionate. ”

Wang Tian flashed her eyes, she seemed to understand something, and she seemed to be a little unintelligible, but she didn't delve into it, but hugged Zheng Fei and said with a smile: "I know, my sister-in-law has a good heart." Sister-in-law is the best. ”

The three of them laughed, and the atmosphere gradually improved again.

After passing through the dilapidated village and coming to the fields with lush crops, Zheng Fei's heart became clearer.

Seeing the vibrant crops, she also felt the joy of a good harvest, even though it was still early before the harvest.

She didn't know many crops, so Wang Tian helped her introduce them.

From planting to harvesting to use, Wang Tian said in detail, which really opened her eyes.

She didn't expect Wang Tian to know so many things at such a young age.

But in fact, Wang Tian is also an experienced farmer, which is naturally different from her, who grew up in the city.

Distant villages are getting closer.

When entering the next village, Zheng Fei was surprised to find a steel pipe horizontal at the entrance of the village.

The steel pipe was about more than a meter but less than two meters above the ground, one end fixed to a rotating iron pillar, and the other end locked to an iron pillar on the other side of the road. Judging by the height of the steel pipe, a luxury RV cannot be passed.

"What does that mean?" Zheng Fei asked.

Wang Tian said depressedly: "This is not to let us pass." ”

Zheng Fei was curious: "How did they know that we were going to pass from here?" ”

Wang Tian burst out laughing and said, "Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, they didn't know that we were going to pass through here, nor did they deliberately use them to stop us." It's used to stop big vehicles like the one we're in. For example, large buses, large trucks, etc. As long as there are vehicles that should not pass through their village, do not leave. ”

Zheng Fei was puzzled: "Why? ”

Wang Tian sighed and said, "For the road maintenance fee 1"

"Road maintenance fees?" Zheng Fei was still puzzled.

"Hmm." Wang Tian nodded, and explained in detail: "The village in front of you is building a road and can't pass through the car, and many vehicles will have to detour through this village, so the road in this village may be damaged." So, if you want to pass by them, you have to pay some tolls. It is said that it is used to maintain roads, but in fact, it was greedy by the village officials. Because this kind of account is unclear, the villagers don't know how much toll they have collected, and it is all the village officials who have the final say. Of course, you can be as greedy as you can. However, logically speaking, this kind of road maintenance fee makes sense. After all, the road in the village was built by the villagers with raised funds, and some vehicles that should not pass through here pass through here, of course they are unwilling. They charge some road maintenance fees, which also makes sense. ”

Zheng Fei then understood, there were some novelties and some surprises. She thought that the villagers were very simple, but from this point of view, they were not particularly simple, they were also very selfish, and they did not have the sentiments of selflessness.

"So what now? Are we going to take a detour to pass somewhere else? Zheng Fei asked again.

Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "No." This kind of thing just needs to be paid for. If you take a detour, you will burn more fuel than tolls. There is no need to be so troublesome, the general vehicle will give. Do you see the height of the pipe? The height of the steel pipe can pass through tractors, tricycles, cars, etc., and the villagers will not be affected by driving tractors and other vehicles to the fields, but they will not be able to pass through large buses like ours. Therefore, such roadblocks are mainly aimed at large buses transporting people and large trucks transporting goods. These two types of vehicles are made to make money, and in order not to ask for trouble, they will give what they can. It doesn't cost much, fifty or a hundred. ”…,

"Oh." Zheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's only fifty or a hundred, it's not much money, and it's not enough for her to have a cup of coffee

When she first saw this scene, she thought she was going to be robbed.

It wasn't a big deal, but she was also a little frightened, and her heart was greatly touched.

In her impression, the villagers are not so beautiful and simple existences, but have a human flavor for self-interest. And judging by the means taken by the villagers, it was quite clever and effective.

Wang Xiao drove the luxury RV to the roadblock and stopped.

"You guys wait in the car, I'll go down and have a look." Wang Xiao opened the car door and got out of the car.

Zheng Fei looked around and asked puzzledly: "There is no one next to this barricade, who will you pay for?" ”

Wang Tian laughed and said, "There is a phone next to it, as long as you call, someone will come." ”

"Oh." Zheng Fei thought for a while, and said, "How troublesome this is!" People who come and go have to make phone calls. ”

Wang Tian smiled again and said, "No." What's so troublesome? If it's a lot of traffic, such as a passenger truck, those people will give them a key after paying the money. Then the next time they come, they just need to open the lock with the key. Only once in a while, like us, will they call someone to come and pick the lock. There are also some vehicles that know that there is a roadblock here, and they will not pass by this place next time, and they will find another road in the future. But if you don't know that there are roadblocks here, it is still more cost-effective to pay for it since you have come here. If you take a detour, it may consume more fuel money and delay time. ”

Zheng Jiao understood now and said with a smile: "It's quite smart." In addition to retail sales, there are also packages. ”

Zheng Fei chatted with Wang Tian while paying attention to Wang Xiao's movements.

I saw Wang Xiao make a call according to a phone number on the barricade sign. Soon after, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears arrived on a bicycle. The middle-aged man was holding the handlebar with one hand and a chicken leg in the other, and he was very chic and happy. This is in stark contrast to the yellow and thin muscles of the children I saw before who ate noodles with clear soup and little water. It's really a gap between the rich and the poor, everywhere.

Wang Xiao didn't seem to have any intention of entangling too much with the middle-aged man with fat head and big ears, and after chatting with the middle-aged man with fat head and big ears, he saw that he took out a hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the middle-aged man with fat head and big ears. Then, the middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears threw away the chicken bones and went to open the big lock on the barricade.

"Wow, my brother is generous, and he gave a hundred yuan without pity." Wang Tian couldn't help but admire. "I've seen some drivers bargain with others in order to be able to pay three or five dollars less."

Zheng Fei smiled understandingly: "It is more difficult for others to earn money than your brother, so it is normal to be stingy." ”

Wang Tian exclaimed: "Yes, my brother is so talented, and making money is a matter of minutes." ”

Zheng Fei laughed happily.

How big Wang Xiao's ability is is probably unimaginable to Wang Tian, and it is impossible to know in this life.

Because Wang Xiao didn't want his family to worry about him.

A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears turned the barricade away from the middle of the road.

Wang Xiao walked back reflexively, closed the door after entering the cockpit, and started driving forward.

"Brother, why do you give him a hundred, give him fifty is a lot. You gave him more, and he ate it. ”

Wang Tian was a little dissatisfied with Wang Xiao's extravagant spending.

Wang smiled and said, "Do you know how much he asked me for it?" ”

Wang Tian asked, "How much does he want?" ”

Wang smiled and said, "He wants two hundred and five." I said give him a hundred at most, and take it if he wants. If he doesn't want it, then I'll go back and find another way. It is better to go farther than to be blackmailed by him. ”…,

Wang Tian cut it and said, "You just blow it, I believe you are strange." ”

Zheng Jian couldn't help but giggle happily when he heard their brother and sister arguing.

Zheng Fei is the only daughter in the family, and the amusing emotions between brother and sister are something she has never experienced.

Wang Xiao drove past a roadblock.

Zheng Fei saw from the mirror that the middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears had locked the barricade again.

I guess I'm waiting for the next person to be slaughtered!

Fake public and private, fill private pockets, there is no shortage anywhere!

The rest of the road was smoother.

Zheng Fei saw in the cockpit that the roads in the countryside are actually not very smooth, and there are always some potholes and broken places. But the good thing is that their luxury motorhome has a very good damping system, which can stay smooth even off-road, and it is not affected by such small potholes. They were always comfortable in the car.

After passing through a few villages, Wang Xiao's hometown can be seen from afar.

Wang Tian excitedly pointed to Zheng Fei and shouted, "Sister-in-law, look at the rows of new houses, they were all newly built by the people of our village in order to marry their daughters-in-law." What do you think? Looks pretty right? The exterior may not be as good as the city, but the inside is all built according to the layout of the city, bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and toilets, what the houses in the city have, we have here, and the division is very clear. Moreover, the usable area is much larger. ”

Wang Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Silly girl, no matter how large the usable area in the village is, can it be compared with the city?" The living environment is not just a good one-third of an acre of land, it is necessary to pay attention to the surrounding supporting facilities, such as schools, hospitals, nurseries, supermarkets, shopping malls, and so on. You don't understand, don't talk nonsense and make your sister-in-law laugh. ”

"Hmph, my sister-in-law won't laugh at me, I'm right. Each has its own benefits. Isn't that right, sister-in-law? Zheng Fei shook Zheng Fei's shoulder coquettishly, striving to get Zheng Fei's support.

Zheng Fei smiled: "Well, you're right. Each has its own benefits. ”

Wang smiled and didn't say anything more, he was very happy that Zheng Fei and Wang Tian were on the same front.

Wang Tian snorted triumphantly, and said with a cheerful smile: "Sister-in-law, have you seen the tallest small building facing the highway?" That is, our family has built a new house, which is the best new house in the village. Other families in the village have built houses based on my house and used my house as a model. But none of them are as well built as my house, and my house is villa-level. I called my parents and said we were back, so they could be happy in advance. ”

Wang Tian took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone out.

Her mom answered the phone.

"Mom, we're back, we're already at the edge of the village. Well, my sister-in-law is sitting right next to me. Well, my brother drove back. Don't come to the edge of the village to pick you up, just wait at the door of your house. We'll be home in a minute, and we'll be there in a few minutes. I won't talk to you more, I'll see you later

Zheng Fei was beside Wang Tian and heard some voices on the phone, but she didn't understand what was said. Because Wang Xiao's mother speaks in dialects, not Mandarin like Wang Tian, she can't understand what Wang Xiao's mother said. It's just that from the tone of Wang Xiao's mother's voice, she can hear that Wang Xiao's mother is enthusiastic and happy. This contains the longing for her son who has returned to his homeland after a long absence, and also contains the extreme joy of her future daughter-in-law's visit.

Therefore, although Zheng Fei didn't understand what she said, she was really happy in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, I'll be home soon, and my parents have cooked a delicious meal for us. Ah, I'm so happy. I'm sure my parents will be happy to see you. You're so beautiful and so good, it's really a blessing to my brother. ”

Wang Tian couldn't sit still with excitement, and couldn't wait to fly home.

After a few more minutes, the luxury RV gradually approached the small building that Wang Tian said.

Zheng Fei saw through the windshield that the small building was quite foreign. Among the surrounding buildings, it really stands out from the crowd. In addition to the more chic and eye-catching shape, even the materials used are obviously better. As Wang Tian said, this is a villa-level small bungalow. Except for the greenery facilities almost perfect.

The small building is facing the road, and the gate has been opened on the west side of the compound, waiting for vehicles to enter

There were a few villagers standing at the door, among which there were two elderly people dressed relatively fresh and formal, and they looked carefully dressed for formal occasions. It looks simple, neat, generous, and full of joy.

Zheng Fei has never seen Wang Xiao's parents, but she has seen photos of Wang Xiao's parents, and at this time, looking at the dresses of the two old people, she judged that this was Wang Xiao's parents. She looked older than she thought, probably because of the hard work. Clear
