Nie Sichao watched the cars drive over from a distance, and said to Ning Ye: "County Magistrate Ning, it should be that the workers are here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Ning Ye nodded, watching Nie Sichao walk away, and couldn't help but sigh with his eighth uncle: "This Yundong has a big family like your Wang family, if you want talents, you need money, how can it not develop?" ”

Wang Yizhang shook his head and smiled: "The borrowed chicken can't lay eggs, besides, my Wang family's chicken is not just anyone's chicken." ”

Ning Ye understood at the moment that if he went here and didn't bring back something that met Wang Yizhang's psychological expectations, the Wang family was afraid that they would not reveal these bottoms.

Ning Ye thought about it in turn, if it weren't for Zhang Shuqiu leading him into the Wang family's mansion and changing him to any other person, he wouldn't have a mind to mess around in this place, no matter how high his ability was, he wouldn't be able to figure out the details of this without two or three years.

Ning Ye had a lot of thoughts in his heart for a while, and watching the workers unload the materials in an orderly manner, Wang Yizhang answered the phone and greeted Nie Sichao and said, "The guide is down, you are here to show off, I will take the county magistrate Ning to the Wang family's mansion, you will come over by yourself later." ”

Along the way, Wang Yizhang briefly introduced the origin of the guide, who turned out to be hunters on the mountain, and later was not allowed to hunt, so he became a forest ranger.

Ning Ye followed Wang Yizhang into the courtyard of the Wang family's mansion three times, and was dumbfounded, there were more than a dozen men sitting in Qi Brush, all of them stood up, and an old man with white hair sat in the middle, he saw Wang Yizhang come in and said: "Xiaoba, I brought you all the people, if you are like those cowards in the past, you won't come to me in the future." ”

Wang Yizhang hurriedly nodded and stepped forward to smoke a circle, and said to the old man with a smile: "Uncle Nine, just this time, if I can't do it, I will die, in the future, I should fish and fish, I should hug my grandson and my grandson, and when I am old, I will not do those hopes." ”

Ning Ye was just regretting that he should bring some cigarettes with him, Nie Sichao came in from behind, handed a black plastic bag to Ning Ye and said, "County Magistrate Ning, I will send you the things you asked me to take." ”

Ning Ye twisted it lightly, and he had a number in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Thank you!" As he spoke, he opened the bag, took out two cigarettes from it, handed them to the old man, and said, "Hello Uncle Jiu, I am the new county magistrate Ning Ye." This survey, you have to work hard, these two cigarettes, first give you a point, and when it is done, I will invite you to drink. ”

Wang Yizhang looked at Uncle Jiu's face, he didn't move, smiled and put the two cigarettes on the table and said: "County Magistrate Ning is kind, everyone understands it, and the brothers share it by themselves." As he spoke, he put his hand on the old man, half-led him out, and said softly: "Uncle Jiu, if you don't give other people's face, forget it, wait for Xiaoqiu to cry when you cry, I can't stop it." ”

When the ninth uncle heard this, he looked back at Ning Ye, who was standing in the courtyard awkwardly, turned his head again, and asked meaningfully, "Is this the one that Xiaoqiu brought back?" ”

Wang Yizhang nodded and hummed with a smile, and Uncle Nine blinked and said, "I'll measure it, if it doesn't work, don't blame me for hitting the big broom." ”

Saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Yizhang, and went into the courtyard and said: "You put away the cigarettes, everyone go back and pack their luggage, and go down the mountain the morning after tomorrow and bring the dog down." When the time comes, I don't care if others are embarrassed, and we can't embarrass ourselves, hum......"

The men who sat up straight around the table heard this, their faces turned grim, and the man at the head took apart the cigarettes on the table, and then he got up and said, "I know, Uncle Jiu, I promise not to embarrass you." ”

When the group of men left hulala, Uncle Jiu didn't know who he was asking: "Xiaoqiu, how long has it been since you came back, and you haven't shown your face, do you think my old bones have lived long?" ”

Nie Sichao winked at Ning Ye, and Ning Ye hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Uncle Nine, wait a minute, I'll go and call Xiaoqiu to come down." ”

Before the words fell, I smelled the fragrance of braised meat. The ninth uncle sniffed, and the anger on his face just now was completely dissipated, and even a slight smile appeared.

"Uncle Nine, I heard my uncle say that Uncle Nine is coming down today, just marinated pork head meat, you can taste it while it's hot." Zhang Shuqiu took a bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and a bottle of liquor, and stepped into the courtyard. Seeing the eighth uncle, Ning Ye and Nie Sichao, the corners of his curved mouth curled a little more.

Zhang Shuqiu said and turned his head and shouted: "Uncle, come and have a drink with Uncle Nine, Eighth Uncle, cousin, Ning Ye, you can't drink, drink some tea and accompany Uncle Nine." ”

The ninth uncle entered the courtyard since he beat Zhang Shuqiu, and he didn't move a glance, and looked at Zhang Shuqiu carefully for a long time before he said in an urn voice: "Autumn girl's complexion is good this time, Uncle Nine is happy, just drink some." ”

Zhang Shuqiu put down the things in his hand, helped the old man to sit down and said: "Uncle Jiu, I also fried peanuts, boiled bamboo shoots and beans, and fried small dried fish, you wait, I'll get it, I'll accompany you to have a drink when I go back, I haven't seen you for a long time, I remember it very much." ”

Hearing Zhang Shuqiu's words, Uncle Nine said publicly: "Okay, okay, just have your words, go and get it." ”

Zhang Shuqiu looked at Uncle Jiu and laughed, both sides of his cheeks were sunken, the wrinkles on his face were deeper than the other, his heart suddenly began to sour, and he hurriedly lowered his head and walked out with a smile.

Ning Ye kept looking at Zhang Shuqiu, took advantage of the fact that everyone was seated, and went out after Zhang Shuqiu, seeing that she was silent and hurriedly walked forward, while raising her hand to wipe her face, he knew that she was shedding tears, caught up in two steps, pulled her into the courtyard, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "What's wrong?" How good, just cried. ”

Zhang Shuqiu raised his head, his eyes were already blurred with tears, he sniffed hard, and replied softly: "Ninth uncle, you are old, and your teeth are gone......"

Ning Ye was about to comfort a few words, when he suddenly heard the sound of the corner door next to him, and before he could react, he saw Wang Ertam push the door and walk in, seeing the appearance of the two of them, Wang Ertam smiled and said: "Zhang Sanni, you have the ability to cry, are you going to bring it into the coffin?" Why did the county magistrate of Ningda provoke you? ”

Ning Ye was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know where to start, but Zhang Shuqiu turned around, wiped his tears on Ning Ye's shoulder, and said, "As far as your voice is loud, you go to see Uncle Jiu, I feel very sad anyway." ”

Wang Ertam was silent, nodded and said, "I'll go first, what Uncle Jiu wants to see the most is you, you come quickly, don't wait for him to lose his temper, I can't take it." ”

Zhang Shuqiu nodded, and pulled Ning Ye to the podium of the fourth entrance. Ning Ye said hello to his aunt who was busy in the kitchen, Zhang Shuqiu took the prepared food, and asked Ning Ye to move a steaming pot, and wiped his face carefully before going out, before leading the way to the courtyard......

Ning Ye looked at Zhang Shuqiu and didn't say anything, but silently remembered that when he went back to see his grandfather this time, although he was still in good spirits, it seemed that there were more age spots on his face......

When they entered, the people in the courtyard had already taken their seats, the eldest uncle sat on the left hand side of the ninth uncle, and then next to the eighth uncle, Wang Ertam and Nie Sichao, and there were two empty seats on the right side of the ninth uncle, which were obviously reserved for Zhang Shuqiu and Ning Ye.

Zhang Shuqiu and Ning Ye put down the dishes they brought over, Ning Ye looked at Zhang Shuqiu without a trace, and put the plate of peanuts and bamboo shoots boiled beans behind the pot, and the corner where Uncle Nine couldn't see, and then sat down with a smile in the midst of everyone's jokes.

Zhang Shuqiu opened the lid of the hot pot, it was a beef brisket stewed with radish, and said to Uncle Nine with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, you taste it, this is also what I just made, the beef brisket is stewed very deliciously, and the radish is soft and glutinous." ”

Uncle Jiu, like all the old people who can't see their grandchildren all year round, couldn't take his eyes off Zhang Shuqiu when he looked at him, and nodded with a smile: "You sit down, you have to eat more, you are still so thin, if you want me to say, the foreign devil's food does not support people......"

Zhang Shuqiu hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I am in this mountain, living with your old man." ”

"You don't even come back to see me, I'm angry." Uncle Nine shouted angry in his mouth, but he didn't look angry at all.

Zhang Shuqiu hurriedly said: "I just came back, and a few more friends came. I heard that my uncle said that you are on the mountain, and I was about to go to the mountain to look for you in a few days, but I didn't know that the eighth uncle would invite your old man down the mountain. ”

The ninth uncle cocked his beard and said, "Hmph, your eighth uncle didn't say that you came back, so I didn't bother to come down." ”

Wang Yizhang hurriedly said: "If you don't come down, you can't do it, you have to stay here for a while and help sit for a while, otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be another moth at that time." ”

Ning Ye watched Zhang Shuqiu take care of Uncle Jiu, slowly drank a little wine, ate the stewed radish brisket, and pork head meat, and slowly chatted with a few people from the Wang family. Only then did I know that although the ninth uncle is not surnamed Wang, he has a deep relationship with the Wang family, and his ancestors have been together since they moved here with the Wang family. It turned out that in the earliest days, Uncle Jiu also helped fight guerrilla warfare, but he didn't want to leave this mountain, so he didn't follow the troops, and when the disaster occurred, he became a hunter in the mountains.

Uncle Jiu can be said to be the person who knows this mountain best, and he also led the way to the survey team in the past, but people thought he was straight and angry, and he fell out before he entered the deep mountains. Later, he came to the survey team again, but he still went patiently, the terrain of Dayun Mountain was complex and changeable, and the academics didn't believe the wild roads he pointed out, so they quarreled again.

While drinking a little wine, Uncle Jiu talked about hunting in the mountains in the past, running all over the mountains, and often passing through primeval forests and canyons to Luzhou.

Everyone accompanied the old man to have fun, and took turns to toast the old man, and when it was Ning Ye's turn to raise a glass, he said with a smile: "Uncle Nine, when I was a child, my grandfather liked to tell me the story of the war back then. I heard that I arrived in Yundong, and said that I would come over to see when I wanted to, and this Dayun Mountain was also the place where he fought. I must be very happy to see your old man, and I will ask you to accompany him and show him around......"

Uncle Nine was extremely excited, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect to be alive to see my comrades-in-arms back then, so I said this to you, as long as the rabbit cubs who came back like a little talk, I promise to help you get this done." ”

Ning Ye was slightly stunned in his heart, he said that people are old and fine, and talking to such a wise old man is completely uncomfortable for himself. The eldest uncle pulled the ninth uncle, and the eighth uncle smiled and said: "Ninth uncle, the old leader of the family wants to go around our place, and it is really impossible to have a smooth road." ”

Uncle Jiu said indifferently: "I know, I know, I'm not old and confused, the sooner this road is passed, the sooner I can see my old comrades-in-arms." ”

Ning Ye smiled and nodded in response, and he was very clear about this old man's frank thoughts. He has lived to this age, he has long had no desires, people leave and people stay, and the road is impassable, for him, there is no meaning, just a good idea.

While drinking a little wine, Uncle Nine looked at Zhang Shuqiu, then at Ning Ye, and then at the two of them, and finally got drunk unconsciously.

Ning Ye held a cup of tea, sat next to Zhang Shuqiu, and didn't say much, just made fun at the right time, observing a few people at this table.

Uncle Jiu was unmarried all his life, had no children and no daughters, and was frank and unrestrained, but he taught all his skills to those men in the mountains, and the men respected him very much. Uncle Nine respects Zhang Shuqiu's grandmother the most, and has the best relationship with Xiaoqiu.

The eldest uncle doesn't talk much, but he is a very clear patriarch, and the eighth uncle is like the spokesperson of the Wang family's mansion, but sometimes he still has to look at his eldest brother's eyes.

The third generation of the Wang family, Wang Shuyan, is a big star who is in the limelight outside, but he speaks appropriately in front of his elders and does not dare to be disrespectful.

That Nie Sichao is even more interesting, he has never taken the initiative to show favor to himself, but he is extremely thoughtful in the details, such as the two cigarettes he prepared for himself. The interaction at the wine table is obvious, although he is not conspicuous, he has an extremely tacit understanding with Wang Shuyan and Zhang Shuqiu, and he adjusts the atmosphere on the table very well, and takes care of everyone in all aspects, not like a rich second generation at all.

Wang Ertam and Nie Sichao lightly sent Uncle Jiu to sleep before they came out again, the table was already clean, and tea was also placed.

Wang Ertong looked at Ning Ye, who had just sat down with tea, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Ning's speed is incredible." ”

Ning Ye laughed and said, "The blessing of the second brother is really lucky, and the harvest is great." ”

Wang Ertam thought for a moment, and then asked, "In this way, there are other gains. ”

Ning Ye looked at everyone, nodded with a smile, and briefly explained the process of going to the capital.

The rest of the people were okay, although Nie Sichao knew that Ning Ye had invited the survey team, but he didn't expect it to be such a big thing, so he took a sip of tea and said, "County Magistrate Ning, do other leaders in the county know about this?" ”

Ning Ye shook his head and said, "Not yet, it's not convenient to say for the time being." ”

Generally speaking, the construction of a large road network like this is from top to bottom, with a line designed above, and there are a variety of plans for the line, and then a team is sent down to conduct a survey, and finally a feasible plan is determined according to the survey results and the design line. However, the survey line is very small from the bottom up, especially the well-known primeval forest of Dayun Mountain, which may have been excluded at the beginning of the design.

Nie Sichao immediately understood that Ning Ye was worried that he would say it early, and when the time came, things would not work out, so he was afraid that he would be smiling and generous.
