The rainy day is finally over.

ushered in the warm winter sun.

Li Xiang was also in a cheerful mood.

"Mom, in 1 hour, you come down, I'll take you for a ride...."

Li Xiang said that he went downstairs to the property management to go through the parking procedures.

"Okay..."

Mom and Dad had already figured out where they were going, but Chen Mo was there before, so I was embarrassed to delay him.

She sat in the car, looking at the manual to check the various functions of the car one by one.

I checked the fuel tank, the yellow one, it's over, I'll be sure to go to the nearest place to refuel later.

......

"What are you doing here?"

My parents and parents changed their shoes into sneakers, and one of them carried a box to the basement, brought a large insulated water to drink, and took two large umbrellas.

"This box is yours."

The old mother was carrying a black travel bag and actually packed her luggage for Li Xiang.

"your ancestral home..."

Li Xiang's grandfather's hometown was in Hedong Province, and in 1942, the national famine was all over the country, and many people fell down while walking, and never got up again.

Great-grandfather and great-grandmother fled with their grandfather's three brothers and sisters, and when they arrived in their hometown, only their great-grandfather, great-grandmother and grandfather were left, starving to the bone, and one of my grandfather's brothers and sister died on the way to escape.

When grandpa was dying, he kept old tears and told his father to go back to see it in this life.

Grandma is old and can't travel long distances.

Dad and Mom also feel old now, saying that if they can't move, they will be unable to move one day, he heard Li Xiang say last night that he will start taking annual leave today and buy a car, so he took this opportunity to fulfill his great-grandfather's last wish.

"How did they get here..."

Li Xiang stared at the mobile phone navigation in surprise according to the address given by his father, and under normal circumstances, he would drive the highway for two days and then drive the mountain road for another day.

She couldn't imagine how her great-grandfather and great-grandmother had moved here on their feet and dragged their three young children with a severe shortage of food.

The drive she said in the morning turned into a "ride" for half of China.

Li Xiang also wanted to see the place where his grandfather was born, although the car condition was not very familiar, as long as he was concentrated, he should be fine.

This time, a family of three can also enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

"As long as it's non-toxic, eat it."

Although what my father said was a bit exaggerated, according to my grandfather, they had eaten tree bark back then, even the little trees, and it was delicious to have wild vegetables to eat.

The fish and shrimp in the river are also endangered.

Those who fly in the sky, those who are afraid of the ground, and those who swim in the water, as long as they can import to fill their stomachs, those who come will not refuse.

Grandpa's brother and sister were starved to death, so they found a random place to dig up some soil and buried them.

"Let's rest here."

Four hours later, the family went to the bathroom at the service station, and the father saw that Li Xiang was a little tired, and it was time for lunch, so he proposed to rest here, eat lunch and then hurry.

Li Xiang went to the convenience store in the service area and bought a case of Red Bull and Green Tea drinks.

......

"It's finally almost here...."

On the third day, they passed through two provinces and arrived in Hedong Province, where Li Xiang twisted his neck and kicked his legs outside the car.

It's a hard way to find your roots, and it's much easier if someone changes to a car.

With such a long drive, Li Xiang had to concentrate, but he didn't have time to think about Chen Mo's troubles, and he was so tired at night that he fell asleep.

Although my parents were tired in the car, they all took turns to rest, and always left one to chat with Li Xiang to help her lift her spirits.

They looked at the scenery outside the car window, the natural landscape and the crops planted were completely different from their hometown, sometimes surrounded by green mountains, sometimes through the loess, sometimes across the bridge, and their excited conversations could be heard from time to time in the car.
