Chapter 81: Return to Lijiagou
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the car began to enter the mountain, here is the remnant of Erlong Mountain, the slope is not steep, but because it belongs to the township-level road, the road condition is obviously much worse than the provincial road, and there are potholes on the cement pavement in many places.
But Li Youran didn't care about these, the dense mountain forest, the mountain breeze with the fragrance of pine trees, everything made people feel familiar and intimate. The car continues to move forward, there is the Xiaoqing River in front, and it is estimated that it will be home in another half an hour to go upstream along the Xiaoqing River.
As he got closer and closer to home, his mood began to get excited, and he began to imagine what the second uncle, second aunt and Fang Cheng should be like now, and what they were doing at home?
The car turned a corner and entered the fork in the road, which was a gravel road, and the body began to bump, but fortunately, it was a four-wheel drive Yue Chapter 81 back to Lijiagou wild car, with excellent shock absorption performance and can withstand it.
At this moment, an unpleasant stench poured into the carriage, and the smoke made people's minds feel stuffy.
Li Youran frowned, what kind of smell is this? Where did it come from?
Then drove forward for a while, and the Xiaoqing River in his memory finally appeared in his field of vision. But—
"Damn!" Li leisurely parked the car by the river, opened the door and got off.
Is this still Xiaoqinghe? Is this still the crystal clear, reed-covered river with fish and shrimp frolicking on the colorful pebbles?
I saw the small river in front of me, flowing with brown water, and white foam on the riverside, emitting a disgusting stench.
"Malegobi's!" He couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. Stoop down to pick up a stone and throw it into the river.
"Plop!" There was a brown splash on the surface of the river, which quickly disappeared.
After standing by the river for a while, the nose could no longer stand it. Li leisurely opened the car door, returned to the driver's seat, raised the window, and unscrewed the air conditioning switch at the same time.
The filtered air was blown in through the air supply outlet, and he felt better.
I don't know which bastard did this good thing, forget it, let's go back first.
Chapter 81 Back to Lijiagou, Li leisurely drove up the Xiaoqing River, and his happy mood along the way was affected.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the car entered an open field, and Lijiagou Village was in front.
At this time, the fields are already full of early rice seedlings, as well as strong corn seedlings, and there is a lot of greenery everywhere, which is very eye-catching. From time to time, people walk by on the ridge, what a familiar and nostalgic rural scene.
The car bumped on the gravel road, and finally, the iconic old locust tree at the entrance of the village came into view, and the strings of white locust flowers were in full bloom. This is a legendary 100-year-old tree, with a huge canopy that shades the sky and the sun, and it is best described as a "forest of trees". It has always been a good place for Lijiagou villagers to play and play with children in the summer shade.
Li leisurely drove the car to the tree, stepped on the brakes, and turned off the engine. Open the door and walk down, look up at the old locust tree, the fragrance of the locust flowers in the tree comes to the nose, heh, this is the best material for making locust cake, the food in memory.
This is also his childhood amusement park, I don't know how many times he has climbed, the old locust tree is like a kind old man, let a group of wild boys toss and turn on it, and even pluck its hair and beard, but never angry.
I have become an adult, but the old locust tree is still the same, almost unchanged, and it will become a paradise for a new generation of wild boys, and it will continue from generation to generation. Li leisurely stepped forward and patted the rough bark of the old locust tree with his hand.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Ranzi?" A voice came from beside him.
Li Youran turned his head, and in front of him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, staring at him with two big eyes. Wearing an old camouflage uniform, a pair of rubber shoes on his feet, and his trouser legs rolled up. Pushing a bicycle in his hand.
"This is a tiger, they have grown so tall, hehe." Li said with a smile.
"Brother Ranzi, come back and take a look. Wow, is that your car? That's great, Brother Ranzi, have you made a fortune? Huzi looked at the Audi Q5 with his eyes shining.
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of fortune can I make, this is a car borrowed from the company." Li Youran explained that it is better to keep a low profile.
Huzi pushed the bicycle around the Q5 for half a circle, and his mouth was full of admiration.
"By the way, why can't you change your mouth, call Uncle Ranzi." Li Youran suddenly remembered that Huzi was ranked one generation lower than him in terms of seniority, but this guy was reluctant to call him uncle since he was a child.
"You are not a few years older than me, why should you call you Uncle Ranzi, no." Huzi craned his neck and said.
"You stinky boy, you don't know how to be inferior when you are young, I have to teach you a lesson today." Li Youran made a gesture to take him down.
Huzi took a quick step back, flew on the bicycle, and shouted:
"Brother Ranzi, you bullied people as soon as you came back, I'll sue your second uncle."
After that, he pedaled in the direction of the outside of the village, and then Li Youran found that a wicker basket was tied to the back rack of his bicycle, and a strange-looking rooster was poking its head out.
"Hehe, this stinky boy, run outside, and tell my second uncle, it's not good to tell a lie."
Li Youran smiled and shook his head, got back into the driver's seat, started, and the car drove towards the village. The village has not changed much, only a few villagers have built new houses, and most of the families are still the same as they remember.
There are not many people on the roads in the village, and there are very few people who work and go to school during this time.
There are more than 100 households in Lijiagou Village, with a population of four or five hundred, and although it is not the poorest among the dozens of natural villages in Erlong Township, it is not rich. This is mainly due to the single variety of crops and transportation problems.
Not long after entering the village, there was a fork in the road, Li Youran turned the steering wheel to the left, and the car drove into a dirt road, due to the uneven road surface, the body bumped even more.
The destination was finally reached, and just in front of me, the small courtyard surrounded by earthen walls, the gate nailed to pine planks with bark, everything was the same.
He parked the car by the courtyard gate, slowly got out of the car, and stepped on the pavement paved with a few blue stripes of stone in front of the door, and finally came back.
He gently pushed the courtyard door, but it was unlocked, and slid inward with a creak. Stepping over the threshold, he stood in the middle of the courtyard, the layout of the courtyard did not change much, except that the three tiled houses seemed to be more old, the pomegranate tree in the corner of the courtyard had grown, and there were a few hens foraging next to the stone mill.
"Who?" A woman's voice came from the main room, followed by footsteps. A middle-aged woman appeared at the door, although she was only in her forties, her hair was already a little gray, the corners of her eyes were exposed, and her cheekbones were slightly convex.
"Ranzi, is it really you?" The middle-aged woman couldn't believe her eyes, and she looked up and down at the sturdy young man in a leather jacket in the center of the courtyard.
"Second aunt, it's me." Li Youran's eyes were moist, and he took another step forward to let the second aunt see clearly.
"It's really you, you dead boy, I thought you weren't coming back!" The second aunt walked over quickly and slapped Li Youran's arm twice.
Then he turned his back to his face and wiped it from the corner of his eye with the back of his hand!!
