Lin Xiang rushed into the service area to buy three cans of Red Bull and gave Lin Dong and Liu Qiang one can each. There are so many people in the service area that the toilets are so crowded that they can't get in. Lin Dong and the three of them were not in a hurry, leaning on the car, drinking Red Bull and smoking.

Every New Year, there are many people who return to their hometowns from the south to the north for the New Year. Lin Dong drove all the way, and there were a lot of vehicles in the lanes from south to north on the highway, and the traffic flow on the lanes from north to south was much smaller. There are many buses parked in the service area, and from time to time there are buses coming here, and there are even more family cars. The passengers who got out of the car, some of them were in tattered clothes, carrying a snakeskin bag, unkempt, and some were well-dressed, and their hair was not messy, but no matter whether they were rich or poor, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles. The local voices from all over the world converged, and the villagers who knew each other gathered together to tell their own anecdotes about the past year.

Lin Dong and the three of them finished smoking a cigarette, and a can of Red Bull also bottomed out.

"Let's go to the toilet so that we don't have an urgent need to urinate on the way."

The three of them threw out the garbage, finally squeezed into the bathroom, put the waste liquid, and got into the car to continue the journey after coming out.

At eleven o'clock, Lin Dong saw that the road sign in front of him showed that there were still thirty kilometers away from Ningcheng. After Ningcheng, it will take more than two hours to reach Huaicheng.

Liu Qiang's phone rang, it was his wife calling.

Liu's mother had already started to prepare a sumptuous meal at home, and made a phone call to ask where her son was there.

"Hadron, where is it?"

Liu Qiang didn't know where he was either. Holding up the phone, he asked Lin Dong, who was driving. "Brother Dong, where are we now?"

"It's time to reach the boundary of Ningcheng." Lin Dongdao.

Liu Qiang told his mother, "Mom, we have arrived in Ningcheng, and it is estimated that we will be home in more than two hours." How are you doing? You can't do it! ”

Liu Qiang's mother just had surgery last year, although the tumor was removed, and the recovery after the operation was also very good, but it hurt the vitality of the body, and the heavy work in the field was no longer able to be done. The doctor also warned her not to work. But as a village woman. If you can't work in the fields, what can you do in this life? So although Liu's mother can no longer do heavy work, she still does some light things, and she can't let her husband carry everything at home. Men still have to work to earn money.

Mother Liu said with a smile: "Qiangzi, Mom's health is very good, you have sent money to the family every month for the past six months, and your father has bought me a lot of supplements, and my health is much better than before." ”

"Mom, then let's leave it at that, let's talk when we get home."

Lin Dong did not enter Ningcheng, and kept driving on the highway. Wherever the Mercedes-Benz S600 passes, it will attract a series of scorching eyes, and the passengers sitting in the bus. Some people even quarreled over how much the car was, and more people silently looked at the luxury cars in the distance, looking forward to the year and day when they could get one to drive.

As he spoke, he passed Ningcheng, and there was a service area fifteen kilometers ahead, Lin Dong looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and asked: "Erfeizi, Qiangzi, do you want to go to the service area for lunch and then continue to hurry?" ”

"Brother Dong, are you hungry?" Liu Qiang asked.

Lin Dong smiled: "I'm not hungry. ”

"Then let's stop eating, let's hurry up. We made lunch at home, and we're waiting for me to go back and eat. Liu Qiang said with a smile.

Lin Xiang followed and said: "Yes, no matter what time you get home, it's still comfortable to eat at home." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Then don't go to the service area, I estimate that we should be able to get home before three o'clock." ”

Lin Xiang asked, "Brother Dong." I've heard that driving for a long time is tiring, you are not tired. Do you want to take a break? ”

"Brother Dong, Er Feizi wants to touch your car and drive." Liu Qiang debunked Lin Xiang's thoughts. …,

Lin Dong asked, "Er Feizi, do you know how to drive?" ”

"No, but I can drive a walk-behind tractor, it's all a motor vehicle, I guess it's the same." Lin Xiang said, making Lin Dong and Liu Qiang laugh non-stop.

Liu Qiang touched Lin Xiang's head, "Erfeizi, you stick your head in front and take a look, see that this car is different from your walk-behind tractor!" ”

Lin Xiang really leaned his head over to look at it, and then said after a while: "Good guy, this thing is complicated, I can't play with it." ”

Lin Dong said: "Er Feizi, I said that you two should buy a car, it's not very useful to buy a car, it's good to buy a chartered car, and you can use it for delivery and delivery." ”

"How much does a van cost?" Lin Xiang asked.

Liu Qiang said: "That thing is cheap, you can get it for 30,000 yuan, and the most important thing is that we don't have a driver's license, so we have to learn it quickly." After returning to Sioux City after the New Year, we will take turns to learn to drive, and when we get a driver's license, we will buy one. Actually, I've been planning to do this for a long time. ”

Lin Xiang slapped his face, "Damn, just buy a van!" In the future, I, Lin Xiang, will also have a car! ”

The three of them laughed, the atmosphere in the car was harmonious, and there were talks and laughs along the way, but they didn't feel that time was difficult. At one o'clock, they saw the road sign to enter Surabaya City, entered the toll booth, paid the money, and entered Surabaya City.

For Surabaya City, Lin Dong and several people are familiar with it, it is next to their hometown of Shanyin City, and the group of Wu Boss who renovated Lin Dong's house is from Surabaya City. Surabaya City is very close to San'in City in terms of customs and accents.

After Surabaya City, it is San'in City. Huaicheng is a county in the north of San'in City, and when you enter the urban area of San'in City, it takes an hour to get to Huaicheng.

Lin Xiang and Liu Qiang were very excited when they knew that they had arrived in Surabaya City, looking at the vast farmland on the side of the road outside the window, they seemed to have smelled the fragrance of the fields in their hometown. Surabaya City and San'in City were next to each other, and in less than half an hour, Lin Dong drove into the boundary of San'in City.

As soon as they entered the boundaries of San'in City, the mobile phones of the three of them rang one after another, and when they scooped it out, they all had the same content, first expressing their welcome, and then introducing the history and places of interest of San'in City. When Lin Dong saw these words, it was like seeing his fathers and fellow villagers in his hometown, and his mood was indescribably excited.

"Brother Dong, I'm in a hurry to urinate, can you pull over in front of you?" Lin Xiang covered his lower abdomen.

Lin Dong asked, "Er Feizi, why didn't you say it when you passed by the service area just now?" ”

"Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, I'm holding it! My fertilizer must be sprinkled in the soil of my hometown! Lin Xiang was so choked that his bladder was about to explode, and he still clenched his fists and shouted righteously.

Lin Dong shook his head and smiled, slowed down the car, and pulled over. As soon as the car stopped, Lin Xiang pushed the car door, covered his stomach and ran towards a tree in front of him. There was no toilet in this wilderness, so he pulled down the zipper on the side of the road, whistled while excreting the waste liquid in his body, and shivered a few times before throwing out a few drops of residual liquid.

Lin Xiang ran into the car quickly, closed the door, it was very cold outside, and he rubbed his hands in the cold.

Liu stressed and smiled: "Er Feizi, it's a cold day, you let that baby thing see the wind, and it wasn't frozen, right?" ”

"Qiangzi, why are you so rogue! By the way, I forgot, you used to be a hooligan. Lin Xiang's mouth was unforgiving, Liu Qiang's mouth was clumsy, he couldn't say anything about him at all, and he quickly surrendered.

Since entering San'in City, Lin Dong has slowed down his car, and while driving along the way, he enjoys the scenery on both sides.

Half an hour later, they entered the downtown area of San'in City. San'in City is a small city in the middle of nowhere, and the total output value of a city in a year cannot keep up with several towns in Sioux City. There are no dozens of high-rise buildings here, and the tallest building is the Radio and Television Building, which is only fifteen floors. …,

When I entered the city, there were more and more cars. Cars are not yet widespread in this city, and on the roads that are not wide, rickshaws and motorized horses are automatically rampage, and the red dove lights are useless, which does not play a role at all, and pedestrians climb over the fence and run on the motorized road, as if entering a no-man's land.

Lin Dong didn't dare to drive fast, although the traffic in this small city was chaotic, but he was not irritable, but lowered the window, listened to the hustle and bustle of the small city, and the wind blowing with the fragrance of fried goods, a little unfamiliar, but soon became familiar.

After a year's absence, I returned to my hometown, and my heart was full of mixed tastes, like overturning a five-flavor bottle, and I couldn't tell the taste.

Lin Xiang and Liu Qiang each lay on the car window, looking at the shops on both sides of the road and the pedestrians coming and going, and they were very excited.

"Qiangzi, that old devil's little fried shop, remember, we ate in it." Liu Qiang pointed to a small restaurant on the side of the street.

Liu Qiang leaned over and took a look, "I remember, that time we ate stir-fried pork liver and what?" ”

Lin Xiang said: "Hey, it's vegetarian fried eggplant!" ”

"Yes, it's vegetarian fried eggplant, I ate three bowls of rice, and you also ate three bowls of rice." Liu Qiang said.

"The rice tube is full, you can add it as many times as you like, and of course you have to eat it until the belly is round." Lin Xiang said with a smile.

The urban area of San'in City is very small, and while speaking, it has gone out of the urban area and entered the county seat of Huaicheng. There are fewer vehicles in the county, and at noon, there are no cars on the road, so Lin Dong sped up a little, and when he passed by the county, he saw the familiar gate, which really didn't change at all.

He studied in high school for three years in that gate, and there are many good and poignant memories of him in it. He wanted to go in and have a look, but he thought of his parents, who were expecting him to go back soon, and it was already two o'clock, and they should still be hungry and waiting for him to go back and have lunch together.

"Erfeizi, don't lie on the car window, I'm going to close the window."

After Lin Dong finished speaking, Lin Xiang and Liu Qiang sat down, he closed the window, sped up, and drove north.

Liulinzhuang belongs to a village in Damiaozi Town, a small county town under Huaicheng, which is about seventy or eighty kilometers away from the county seat, and there is a road leading directly to the county seat. Lin Dong followed this highway and galloped all the way to Damiaozi Town. Out of the county seat, you can see one or two villages every few miles. (To be continued.)
