Chapter 367: Zhao Zhuang, Old Mountain Village

With one more Xiaolan, Tianming wanted to send Lan Luo home, so he couldn't drive a fighter jet to send it, so he bought three long-distance bus tickets to Tongshan City online, and left Suyun on January 8.

Before leaving, because there were only Liu Lu and Li Yuhan left in the villa, Tianming specially told them to take care of the family, pay attention to personal hygiene, and go to Meng Xinyi's house to eat when they were hungry, and call him if they have something.

"Got it, we'll take care of ourselves." Liu Lu stuck out her tongue, her cousin was too long-winded.

……

The straight-line distance between Tongshan City and Suyun is about 600 kilometers, and it takes 6 hours to reach Tongshan by bus and high-speed.

After finding a restaurant in Tongshan City, after having lunch, in the afternoon, for convenience, the three of them chartered a private van, which is the so-called black car, and drove for three hours on the rugged mountain road to Zhaozhuang.

Zhaozhuang is indeed a big village.

There are more than 1,000 households in the village, which looks like a medium-sized town.

However, there are relatively few brightly decorated houses in this village, most of them are two- or three-story rough houses, and even some dilapidated adobe tile houses.

From these houses, it can be seen that this Zhuangzi should have more poor people.

Xiaolan's home, in the area on the ridge in Zhaozhuang, is on higher ground, and it can be seen from a distance, and her house is a three-story small building, covered with white blue tiles, and the decoration is bright.

Xiao Lan dragged a box and trotted all the way up the ridge, Tianming was carrying a big bag on his shoulder, and Lan Luo was carrying a few bags of things in his hand, and he also walked briskly with Xiao Lan.

Walking to the door of the house, the first thing is a half-acre yard, the yard is poured with concrete floor, and there is a toilet. Pigsty, wells, and a few low trees with clothes poles on them.

The three-story building in the courtyard is a hardcover building with interior and exterior decoration that is rarely seen in Zhaozhuang.

Is this your own home?

Xiaolan is a little unconvinced, when she just left five years ago, the conditions at home were not so good, and she didn't return for five years, and the family has changed a lot?

But she only hesitated for a moment, because in the courtyard, several people were chatting. These voices are all familiar to me.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back!"

Xiaolan pushed open the half-covered courtyard door and said excitedly to a few adults in the courtyard who were talking.

Several people were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Xiaolanhou, who was dressed in clean clothes, dressed freshly, and had a familiar smile, and was very surprised.

"Xiaolan, my daughter. You're back?! ”

A thin woman hurriedly rushed over and hugged Xiaolan with tears in her eyes. also gently slapped Xiaolan's back with his hand: "You are finally willing to come back, my mother is about to kill you!" ”

"Mom, I'm back, I miss you too!"

Large teardrops flowed from Xiaolan's eyes. The mother and daughter hugged and cried for a while.

An old man sitting in a chair, in his fifties. White temples, thick eyebrows, black skin, and a lot of wrinkles on his face, but he didn't look happy at all, and he still looked stern.

"Drink, do you know you're back?" The old man snorted coldly.

"Zhao Datie, your daughter has been away from home for five years, and you still want to drive her away!" The woman turned her head and scolded the old man hatefully.

Seeing his wife's angry look, Zhao Datie stopped talking, just twisted his head to the side and smoked a dry cigarette.

Tianming put the bag of things on her shoulder on the ground, and Lan Luo also put the bags she was carrying on the living room table of Xiaolan's house - these things were bought by Xiaolan, and she couldn't carry them alone, so Tianming and Lan Luo helped her carry them home.

After Xiaolan thanked Tianming, her mother brought two cups of tea and handed them to Tianming and Lan Luo, saying thank you and hard work.

Xiaolan opened the bag and took out the gifts inside one by one.

"Mom, this is a down jacket bought for you, goose down, you can wear it and try it."

"Dad, this is the jacket I bought for you, you can also wear it and try it, I don't know if it fits?"

"These are pants for my sister, clothes and shoes for my brother, a mobile phone for him, and some pork jerky, pastries, and cakes for him...... It tastes good. ”

Xiaolan's mother was a little overwhelmed, her daughter bought too many things, and everything looked very expensive, asked her about the price, and said that this dress was 800, that dress was 1800, anyway, they were all famous brands, very expensive famous brands.

"Daughter, you must have spent a lot of money, it's not easy for you to be a nanny for others outside, you have to save some money to spend, just buy two or three hundred yuan as a gift."

As she spoke, Xiaolan's mother burst into tears again.

The daughter has suffered a lot outside, and she knows it. Nanny, a profession of serving people, can't make a lot of money, not to mention, sending people under the fence, and suffering a lot of anger, but as soon as her daughter comes home, she buys so many things, often hundreds or thousands, thinking about it, she is sad and crying.

"Mom, it didn't cost much, except for those things that cost a little money, most of the things were given to me by the boss, and the boss was kind to me." Xiaolan looked at Tianming Dao.

Most of the clothes and shoes that Xiaolan brought home were taken from those stores during Tianming's wealth dispersal action, because Tianming took all the things in the store and took them casually, Xiaolan took the most things, but she knew how to be measured, and the things she took were mostly clothes, shoes and other things, and after taking them, she would say that this was for her mother and that was for her father - this avoided others from gossiping about her.

Xiaolan's mother's eyes widened: "Boss, why did your boss give you so many things?" Daughter, are you ......" She began to think in a bad way.

"Mom~! Where do you want to go, my boss is just a good person, nothing else, don't think crooked! Xiaolan explained with a red face.

After Xiaolan basically took out all the gifts, several of them were given to her father. In particular, Xiaolan handed a pair of special gloves to her father and said, "Dad, this glove is for you, it is very strong, after you put it on, you will not be so tired from working, I don't believe you can try it." ”

Zhao is a blacksmith who runs an ironsmith shop. Relying on things like kitchen knives and hoes to support the family is very hard, and the money earned is okay, but now everyone loves to buy knives and farm tools produced by the factory, not to mention that they are easy to use, and they are very cheap.

The daughter gave herself a pair of gloves, Zhao Datie couldn't help but be a little moved, and her daughter also knew that she had a problem with hand pain, but she didn't know. Now he no longer strikes iron, his family's iron shop has closed, and he is now in the business of aluminum alloy doors and windows, and has made a lot of money in recent years.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, although my daughter doesn't know what has happened at home over the years, but her heart is enough to melt part of his stubborn heart.

The daughter ran away from home, mostly for the part. Is he too greedy, for 100,000 yuan, he married his own daughter to a disabled person with inconvenient legs and feet, is there such a father in the world?

Look at five years no see. But she is still as sensible as before, Zhao hit the bottom of her heart, and a trace of guilt welled up, and her previous cold face. couldn't hold it at the moment, so he put away the gloves that his daughter handed him and stood up. Back in his room - he wanted to be alone and calm down.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the time was not early, Tianming and Lan Luo sat in Xiaolan's house for a while, and saw that there were no quarrels and abnormalities, so they said hello and got up to say goodbye.

"Young man, let's finish eating at our house before leaving, I haven't thanked you yet." Xiaolan's mother said.

"yes, let's leave after eating." Xiaolan is also the way.

"No need, I still have to send her home, I have to climb two mountains, and if I don't leave, I may not be able to go home after dark, goodbye."

……

Outside Zhaozhuang, a van was parked on the side of the road.

This car is the one they were riding in Tianming, and the reason why they haven't left yet is because Lan Luo's things are still on it, so Tianming asked the van driver to wait a little longer and add two hundred.

"Driver, this is 1,000 yuan, and the excess is for you."

The fare was originally four hundred yuan, and after making the driver wait for a while, he should give six hundred, Tianming saw that the driver did not turn over Lan Luo's things, and he was a very honest person, so he gave him an extra four hundred.

"Thank you boss, thank you boss!" The driver was pleasantly surprised, smiling toothlessly, he made a lot of money this trip, this boss is bold!

Lan Luo didn't express any opinions, and muttered softly "loser".

There were many people in Zhao Zhuang, and Tianming helped Lan Luo, and after dragging her things for a certain distance, she threw everything into the ability space in a place where no one was paying attention.

The two of them, empty-handed, quickly advanced towards Lan Luo's hometown.

There are two mountains in front of you, with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, and there are many pine and cypress trees on the mountain, which are lush and green.

The mountains are steep and most places do not have direct access to guò. The only way to enter the mountain is a mountain path less than half a meter wide, with many twists and turns, and many stone steps. Some sections of the road, right on the edge of the cliffs, are very dangerous.

"This mountain road, our old mountain village people have opened up for hundreds of years and walked for hundreds of years to form a safe road, and I stepped on this road to learn." Looking at the mountain road in front of him, Lan Luo sighed with emotion.

"Alright, don't be Wenqing, come in." Seeing that the sky was a little dark, Tianming opened the ability space and urged Lan Luodao.

The old mountain village separated by two mountains, only 6,7 kilometers away from the road in a straight line, but there are more than 30 miles of winding mountain roads, in order to save time, Tianming took Lan Luo a teleportation, originally had to walk for four or five hours on the mountain road, less than half a minute to "walk" to finish.

……

In the middle of the mountain pass, a village with curling smoke appeared in front of the two of them.

It may be that the location is too remote, a small village in the mountains, most of the houses are built of stones, the walls are low, there are many gaps, the roof is made of tiles, or thatch, the windows are mostly old wooden windows that are black and full of cobwebs, and then paste a layer of plastic film with holes, although it can transmit light, but it is during the day, if the lights are not turned on in the house, it is absolutely dark.

What can be seen in the village is mostly the old man sitting at the door, three or five-year-old children with dirty faces running around, and after seeing Tianming Lan Luo and the two of them entering the village, they all stared at them with wide eyes and looked at them very curiously.

In one word, poor.

This is Tianming's first sense.

It was getting late, and Tianming didn't have the heart to pay attention to the other people in the village, carrying his things, and trotting all the way with Lan Luo, he finally saw a two-story small building.

The building is a brick house made of cement red bricks, with large mahogany doors, aluminum-framed glass windows, and a pitched roof - this is a house that is in line with modern architecture, and probably the only house in the village that looks like a modern building.

This is Lan Luo's home.
