442. Old House

After checking here, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Xiaoling's life experience is going to Zhaojiagou or not, but the Jiang family's father and son still want to go to Zhaojiagou to see where Zhao Xiaoling has lived since she was a child.

From the commune to Zhaojiagou, there is no car road, only a narrow mountain road that twists and turns, so you can only walk.

Fortunately, they are all soldiers except Jiang Guo, and Jiang Guo has often been carried to the barracks by his father for exercise since he was a child, so there is no problem in walking more than 30 kilometers of mountain roads.

While walking, Luo Daqing introduced the situation of Zhaojiagou, Zhao Xiaoling went to primary school and got to go to a big village more than ten kilometers away, so she had to run more than 20 kilometers back and forth every morning and evening, and junior high school had to go to school in the commune, and a round trip was more than 60 kilometers.

High school has to go to the county seat, and it is more than 60 kilometers on one side.

All this distance is on foot, so a girl has to walk more to go to school from an early age than other children who live near the commune and near the county seat.

Just thinking about this, the Jiang family's father and son felt heavy in their hearts.

When they arrived at Zhaojiagou, this village deep in the mountains, was more remote and lonely than they imagined.

Here, like a forgotten corner of the world, dozens of families are crammed into a hollow, surrounded by towering mountains on all sides, living in such a village, just looking up at these black and oppressive mountains makes people feel oppressive.

The roads in the village are paved with uneven stones, and some houses have straight stone walls. This can be regarded as local materials! Because there are many stones here, the land is barren, and the harvest is not good.

It's rare for an outsider to come to this remote and closed village all year round, and finally one comes, and everyone in the village looks around like a gorilla.

As soon as Luo Daqing and his party entered the village, they were chased by a group of children, and there were more and more children, and even later, even adults followed them and looked at them curiously.

In front of a dilapidated house, Luo Daqing said: "This is Zhao Xiaoling's house, but they sold the house to someone else two years ago."

Now that you're here, let's go in and have a look!

Luo Daqing knocked on the door, someone came out to open the door, it was a man in his forties, but he looked like he was in his sixties, the mountain people got married early, and his three sons were in their twenties, because the previous house was small, so they bought Zhao Xiaoling's house, the original house was divided between the eldest son and the second son, and this house was lived by their old couple and younger son.

Luo Daqing said what he meant, and said that he wanted to take a look at the house where Zhao Xiaoling used to live.

The current homeowners readily agreed and let them in.

When a group of people entered, the house seemed crowded.

When the Jiang family and his son looked at this dilapidated, old, small, dirty, and dark house, they couldn't imagine that person with a bright smile, a bright and elegant person, who had a bright smile and a bright and elegant body, had lived in such an environment for sixteen years.

This has to have a strong vitality to live like this.

Such living conditions made Jiang Xiaodong so guilty that he couldn't breathe.

Why couldn't he have checked it well before making a conclusion!

Because of his negligence, he lost his beloved wife and missed seventeen happy years with his daughter.

Let her daughter suffer for so many years in this backward small mountain village.

Luo Daqing handed the owner a cigarette and asked him about Zhao Xiaoling's situation since she was a child.
