Wolong Village is in a ravine, surrounded by mountains, and there used to be only one dirt road, barely passing a car.

Now, unlike in the past, an avenue leads to the village, but it has become potholed due to the large number of large vehicles.

Obviously, Shi Lei often walks this road, and he dodges those pits very skillfully, but his speed has not decreased much.

The closer he got to Wolong Village, Zhang Xiaobai became more and more silent, lit a cigarette and rolled out the window, looking at the place where it once grew.

The road is wider, the surrounding trees are gone, and there are more small shops, mostly car repair shops, as well as small restaurants and shops.

Mining has driven the transportation industry, and the transportation industry has driven other industries, gradually forming an industrial chain.

Walking to a hillside, he finally saw the outline of Wolong Village, Zhang Xiaobai stretched out his hand to the window, and did not take a puff until the cigarette slowly burned out.

Wolong Village has changed dramatically.

Three years ago, there were only two brick houses in the village, one was the village chief Liu Zhong's family, and the other was Shi Lei's family.

Now at a glance, the village is full of shiny brick houses, and the enviable new houses in the past have become ordinary and can no longer be ordinary, and a few small buildings have actually been erected

Zhang Xiaobai looked at it intently, and kept sighing and sighing in his mouth.

Shi Lei said: "Xiaobai, our village is rich, and people have money to live a good life, a good life that they never dreamed of before!" ”

Wolong Village, which has not changed much for decades, has changed in the past few years.

In the past, I just bought a TV and burned incense, but now it is a computer; In the past, only rich people could ride motorcycles, but now rich people drive on four wheels; In the past, if you wanted to contact someone, you had to write a letter to the town to mail it, but now you can do it with a phone call.

This is the progress of science and technology, this is the change of the times, however, without money, these changes will not happen in Wolong Village.

So, it's a change from no money to money.

Zhang Xiaobai asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Shi Lei smiled slightly, did not answer, stepped on the accelerator a few times and forced himself out of the courtyard.

Zhang Xiaobai is familiar with this location, but he is not familiar with the building in front of him.

This is Shi Lei's house, and the original brick house has become a two-story building.

Two people walked out of the house, Shi Lei's father and a young man.

Zhang Xiaobai got out of the car and called Uncle Sheng affectionately, and then his eyes fell on the young man and called Big Brother.

The young man's name is Ishikawa, Shi Lei's brother.

Shi Youfu patted Zhang Xiaobai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good guy, you're taller than me!" ”

Ishikawa said, "Xiaobai, welcome home!" ”

Only Cheng Jianhui, Zhao Tianhao and Niu Er entered the courtyard, and the rest drove away.

The meal had been prepared a long time ago, and I thought it was just breakfast, but at a glance, I realized that the hearty could not be more abundant.

There must be food and wine, so how can friends reunite without drinking?

Zhang Xiaobai said apologetically: "I won't drink this meal, I'll go to the grave in a while!" ”

There was no one in the house, only a few graves.

The crowd said nothing more.

After eating, Zhang Xiaobai washed his face and hands, changed into brand new clothes and put on the cloth shoes sewn by his grandmother, and walked out of Shi Lei's house, followed by the brothers.

The former home is halfway up the West Mountain, and the grave is in the grove in the east of the village.

Walking through the village, there are no more women knitting sweaters or men holding cigarette bags and pots to watch the excitement.

are very busy, busy making money, how can there be that leisure to watch the excitement of others.

However, I still met many people in the village, who just hesitated for a moment, and then recognized Zhang Xiaobai.

It was only then that people remembered that there was such a person in Wolong Village, who was a former mourning star and a great college student.

When they met, it was just a greeting, Zhang Xiaobai greeted him with a smile, and people responded politely.

Walking through the village, walking through the ridges, and then a bluestone path appeared, the path was lined with pines and cypresses, and the strength of the path was the forest.

It was no longer the poplar forest, but a pine and cypress tree, and the three graves were very conspicuously surrounded by it, and there was no change, just not a single weed.

Three graves, mother, grandfather, grandfather.

Placing fruit snacks in front of his mother's grave, Zhang Xiaobai knelt down slowly, and the brothers behind him knelt behind him.

Clicking on the paper money, Zhang Xiaobai's eyes were already blurred with tears, "Mom! Unfilial son sees you coming! ”

For the first time in three years, Zhang Xiaobai choked softly.

knelt down in front of the second grave again, in addition to snacks and fruits, Zhang Xiaobai poured a pot of wine, "Grandpa, this is Moutai, and Xiaobai will use good wine to honor you every year in the future!" ”

Then came to the third grave, Zhang Xiaobai slowly knelt down, tears in his eyes.

I haven't met my mother, and my feelings are not very deep, I think about it, but I don't think about it, and the only impression is the past things that my grandmother said.

When he was a child, his grandfather died because of collecting medicine, Zhang Xiaobai was impressed, but he couldn't talk about it very profoundly, he only remembered that his grandfather was an old man who loved to drink and sang the Qin dialect after drinking.

As for grandma, she is the person closest to Zhang Xiaobai.

He buried the old man with his own hands.

Putting on the fruit snacks, Zhang Xiaobai lit a cigarette and put it in front of the grave, and he grinned with tears on his face: "Grandma, it's soft, haven't you smoked it?" Dozens of boxes, how many tobacco leaves are enough to buy? Taste it! ”

"Grandma, I still haven't graduated from college! But I know you won't be disappointed, since I was a child, you taught me to be a man who stands up to the sky, his head can be broken and bleeding can flow, and his backbone can't be bent. Xiaobai has been listening to you! ”

"Although I didn't graduate, I have finished all the knowledge of the university, and now I am a regional manager in Yuanda Group, which is a well-known enterprise in the country, and the career of a regional manager is not low! Grandma, Xiaobai didn't embarrass you, Xiaobai is very competitive! ”

Zhang Xiaobai twitched, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally said a vague word.

"Grandma, Xiaobai really misses you very much!"

Shi Lei behind him cried, Cheng Jianhui's tears swirled in his eyes, Zhao Tianhao looked up to the sky and sighed, and Niu Er couldn't bear to look at Zhang Xiaobai.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaobai kowtowed three times on the ground, and then stood up.

On the way back, Zhang Xiaobai stopped, turned his head and said: "Brother Hao, Brother Hui, Shishi, a good brother in this life, I Zhang Xiaobai will always remember it in my heart!" ”

The road was built by the brothers, the pines and cypresses were planted by the brothers, and the weeds on the grave were removed by the brothers.

Shi Lei said: "Xiaobai, this is our grandma!" What are you talking about? ”

Cheng Jianhui said: "That's it, it's all my brother's business!" ”

Zhao Tianhao said unhappily: "Xiaobai, it's really far away to say this!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai smiled: "Don't say it again!" ”

What do you mean by internal affairs? Zhang Xiaobai never felt that this was what the two brothers should take, except for gratitude or gratitude.

Zhao Tianhao squeezed his eyes and said, "Xiaobai, if you really want to repay me, why don't you come to work in the company!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai pursed his lips, turned his head and continued to walk forward, "Brother Hao, I didn't say it!" ”

A luxury car suddenly drove by, slowed down slightly as it passed by, and then sped by.

Inside the car, Liu Zhi frowned tightly, "This mourning star is back!" ”
