Chapter Forty-Six: The Visit of the Ma Family

Seeing off the visiting classmates, Wu Dao and his family began to get busy for tomorrow's sales. This is the first income of the Wu family this year, so the whole family mobilized and began to prepare for tomorrow in a cardboard box containing fruits.

After breakfast the next day, Wu Dao received a call from Ma Gongcheng, they had arrived at the intersection of Sandaogou Road, and asked Wu Dao to pick them up by car. Hearing that Ma Gongcheng was hospitalized, and there were a little more people coming this time, Wu Dao could only hurriedly ask the second uncle and the third uncle to drive a three-wheeled motorcycle and follow him to the intersection to pick up Ma Gongcheng and his party.

When Wu Dao accompanied the two cousins to the crossing on a motorcycle, he was also a little surprised when he saw several cars parked in the gravel road. After parking the motorcycle and saying a few words of New Year's greetings to Ma Gongcheng, he organized nearly 20 people, young and old, to get on the car.

Fortunately, when I went out, there were a few benches on the motorcycles, so these people didn't have to pull a second trip when they squeezed down on the three cars. After seeing the two uncles pulling two carts of people back to the village first, the remaining few old men standing with Lao Tan also attracted Wu Dao's attention.

Among these old men, in addition to the horse experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who came here last time, there are two old men who seem to have an obvious temperament. Although these two old men looked no different from the old men in the village, Wu Dao, who was a cultivator, could feel it at a glance.

Among these two old men, one should have worked in the army all year round, and the standing posture and the image of the soldier presented can be seen with a little care. The other one looks a little older, but his bearing seems to be much more majestic than that of this old man from a military background, and he should have been a big political axe official.

Regarding the introduction of two old men with obvious identities, Ma Gongcheng only introduced that it was his uncle who was in politics, and the old man who was in the army was his uncle. What surprised Wu Dao very much was that this uncle of Ma Gongcheng still had the aura fluctuations of a martial artist.

Looking at this aura fluctuation, it should be higher than that of his uncle. This made Wu Dao very curious, did the Ma family have any special purpose for coming here at this time.

It's just speculation, since Ma Gongcheng doesn't want to say more, Wu Dao won't be stupid to ask. Soon beckoned the old horse expert and the two old men, as well as Ma Gongcheng and two young people who looked like tigers on their backs, to sit on their newly bought high-power three-wheeled motorcycles.

Seeing that his motorcycle was pressed and trembling, Wu Dao smiled bitterly in his heart that the 'weight' of these people was really not light, and asked the other party to sit down. Wu Daocai began to start the motorcycle and drove towards Sandaogou Village.

For safety reasons, Wu Dao drove very slowly this time, so that these newcomers also had the time to enjoy the scenery of these three ditches.

Feeling the ups and downs of the motorcycle on the mountain road, and the green mountains and green trees that can be seen everywhere on the side of the road, the old man who has not spoken suddenly said: "This place is good, it seems that only in such a traffic jam can you grow that kind of original and good ingredients." ”

Seeing the old man speak, Ma Gongcheng, who was also a little uncomfortable all the way, said with a smile: "Uncle, what you said is good, but after these ditches, you should be more shocked." You know, when I first came here, I didn't know that there would be such a shocking scenery in this big mountain. ”

Just as the people behind the car seat were chatting, the motorcycle that turned a corner and drove out of the crossing, which suddenly made everyone feel that their line of sight was open. The old man, who felt that Ma Gongcheng was a little exaggerated just now, also opened his eyes wide at this time and said: "It's really a good place, if you don't walk into it, I'm afraid no one would have thought that there is such a good place in this ravine." Not bad, not bad! ”

I couldn't figure out the intentions of these people, and Wu Dao, who was in charge of driving, didn't interject, but his ears still listened carefully to everyone's exclamations and praises. From the conversation between these people, Wu Daocai probably realized that among the people who came to Sandaogou this time. Except for the boss who came before, most of them were members of the Ma family.

I had been listening to Ma Gongcheng boast about how good the scenery of Sandaogou Village was, but this time I took advantage of the rare time that everyone had free time. The old and young families who were tired of staying in the provincial capital decided to come to these three ditches to relax and look at the scenery.

When Wu Dao arrived at home with the last group of people, the Wu family, which had just been lively yesterday, once again welcomed a courtyard full of guests. Seeing so many people coming, Wu Dao's mother, who had originally prepared two tables of meals, could only quickly ask the two aunts to come over to help.

These nearly twenty guests, plus Wu Dao's family, have to prepare at least three or four tables of meals. Therefore, Wu Dao's mother can't do it alone.

Seeing that everyone was resting in the yard for a while, and the children of the Ma family were clamoring to go to see the farm, Wu Dao also smiled and led everyone out of the yard to see the farm where he changed almost every day.

Although the Spring Festival had just passed at this time, most of the people in Sandaogou Village were idle at home, and they saw such a group of chattering outsiders entering the village. Many people sighed that this Wu Taoist family is really becoming more and more prosperous. Yesterday I just entertained a group of guests, and today another batch is here.

If the villagers didn't know that Wu Dao's family seemed to have made a lot of money last year, it is estimated that they would all start to worry about Wu Dao, there are so many people who eat and drink for nothing every day, and the Wu family will not be able to afford to provide food!

Most of these children of the Ma family, who grew up in the city, may be the first time to come to the countryside and seem to feel new to everything, starting with a few and a half years old boys. As soon as I walked out of the village, when I saw the paddy fields that had dried up after harvesting the rice, I began to run around the fields with joy. The middle-aged people who were as old as Ma Gongcheng couldn't help but remind these children to be more restrained.

The two old men who were obviously the same age as their uncle were under the protection of two young people who should be bodyguards or something. Unhurriedly walked to the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village, and when they saw the two bamboo buildings by the stream, they couldn't help but want to go over and have a look with interest.

Because they are not good at dealing with these city people, the second and third uncles who picked up the guests all went to the farm to prepare to pick fruits. The matter of this hospitality was all handed over to Wu Dao. Fortunately, although these children of the Ma family seem to be a little arrogant, but with Ma Gongcheng and the two Ma family members, they are still more obedient and restrained.

A few boys who were still enjoying themselves in the rice fields were hailed, and everyone stepped into the bamboo forest from a small wooden bridge that had just been built. Seeing such a bamboo forest that could not be seen at a glance, the people who were a little sweating all the way just now also felt the slightest coolness blown by the breeze around them.

Seeing such a large bamboo forest, Uncle Ma Gongcheng, who had never said a few words along the way, suddenly asked, "Xiao Wu, do you have bamboo shoots in this forest?" ”

Belch! Wu Dao, who asked this, was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied: "Yes, but now that the winter bamboo shoots have passed the digging period, all that can be dug should be spring bamboo shoots." If you look carefully, there should be some spring shoots in this forest that have sprouted in advance. As for the winter bamboo shoots, our family stored a lot of them last year, so you should be able to eat them at lunchtime. ”

Just as Wu Dao was talking, a little girl who had been standing beside the two old men, a noble lady dressed as a woman, suddenly interjected curiously: "Uncle, how can you eat such a hard bamboo?" ”

The little girl obviously didn't understand the difference between bamboo and bamboo shoots. Seeing that Wu Dao seemed to be stunned by the question, the little girl's mother explained with some tears and laughter: "Xiaomei, what my uncle is talking about is bamboo shoots that grow into bamboo, not bamboo." ”

The little girl seemed to have a hard time understanding this explanation, and bit her finger and said, "Mommy, what is a bamboo shoot?" Why does it grow into bamboo? ”

If this kind of problem is replaced by rural children, it will definitely attract laughter from others. But in these years, many urban children can't even tell the difference between cabbage and cabbage, and it is normal to not know the difference between bamboo and bamboo shoots.

Seeing that the noble lady seemed to be stunned by the question, Wu Dao glanced at the bamboo woodland in front of him, and suddenly said with a smile: "Little friend, do you want to see what the bamboo shoots look like?" ”

Xiaomei really became interested, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes!" ”

Under the gaze of everyone, Wu Dao went to a small arched mound a few meters in front of him, and gently picked up the arched soil and bamboo leaves with bamboo branches, and soon a bamboo shoot with a yellow leaf head appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing that Wu Dao was so skilled in finding a bamboo shoot buried in the soil, the young men of the Ma family, who were still curious about where the bamboo shoot grew just now, were obviously interested. Start in this bamboo forest, searching for all suspicious targets. Not to mention, a few teenagers really found a lot of spring bamboo shoots that had not yet been unearthed, which immediately attracted a cheer from all the teenagers.

With the existence of this spring bamboo shoot, it is easy to explain the difference between bamboo and bamboo shoots to the little girl. Seeing that her daughter understood the difference between bamboo and bamboo shoots, the lady also nodded politely to Wu Dao to express her gratitude.

Because they didn't bring special tools for digging bamboo shoots, the spring bamboo shoots that were found by the teenagers also escaped for the time being. After all, for bamboo forests, spring bamboo shoots are not picked at will many times. Many people will choose to let these spring shoots grow smoothly to expand the bamboo forest area in the coming year.

Perhaps feeling Wu Dao's enthusiasm, this little girl, who was still holding her mother at first, suddenly likes to talk to Wu Dao. So much so that next, when Wu Dao walked out of the bamboo forest with her in his arms, the little girl was not afraid of life at all.

This made the noble lady who knew that her daughter would not be easily hugged by outsiders, and she was really a little surprised. The charm of this young man was able to gain the trust of his daughter so quickly!
