Chapter 275: Uncle
Seeing Shen Xixue away, Lu Yao thought that he could be idle for a while, but Lu Mingyi, the village elder, came to the door.
"Xiaoyao, the tourism company is ready to expand new tourist routes, and the surrounding villages are linked, our village is responsible for dealing with the villages in the mountains, you can accompany me on a trip!"
Lu Yao was slightly stunned and said, "Uncle, aren't you very familiar with those mountain people, why do you still call me along?"
Lu Mingyi explained: "You are the majority shareholder of the company, and you have the right to agree to many things, otherwise what's the use of relying on me to play tricks? ”
"In addition, there is another advantage for you to go, your uncle has a high prestige in several villages around there, and if your uncle comes forward to match, our cooperation can be simpler. ”
"I see, uncle, I said why did you call me into the mountain for no reason, and there is a reason. Lu Yao smiled helplessly.
At this time, Lu's mother walked out of the backyard, and when she heard Lu Mingyi's words, she said happily: "Xiaoyao, you agreed to Mingyi's conditions, and went into the mountains to see your uncle together, you haven't seen your uncle for several years." ”
"Well, okay. Mom, do you have anything to bring to your uncle?" asked Lu Yao.
Lu Mu said: "There is nothing special, just bring some seafood and other gifts for your uncle to see." By the way, your uncle likes to drink tea, so bring your Yunwu tea to your uncle. ”
Lu Yao nodded, and asked Lu Mingyi again: "Uncle, when are we going to enter the mountain?" ”
Lu Mingyi said: "It should be, I need to bring some more things, I also have to prepare more, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and I can come back that night." ”
Lu Yao asked, "Uncle, should we still climb the mountain to go in? The country hasn't built a mountain road or anything? Can we drive in?"
Lu Yao remembered that when he was a child, he and Lu's mother would meet their mother's house, and the sun would not come out until the sun came out, and it would take three or four hours to enter the mountain road, so his scalp was a little numb.
Lu Mingyi said: "The mountain road is built, but it is relatively steep, and it is paved with gravel, and there is no cement road, even if you drive, you can only drive a tractor into the mountain, and your car is estimated to be enough." ”
Lu Yao said disapprerovantly: "It's okay, as long as there is a road to open to traffic, it's a big deal that I'll borrow an authentic off-road vehicle, otherwise it's too much time to walk alone." ”
"If you really can't get into the mountain, I don't think it's going to attract a lot of tourists to the mountain. After all, they are here to travel and relax, not to suffer hardships, who wants to walk on a three- or four-hour mountain road?"
Lu Mingyi snorted, "I haven't been in the mountain for a year or two, and I don't know what the specific situation is, this time it's not just to explore the road first, and then decide according to the actual situation." ”
Lu Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, your work attitude is wrong." What if I don't inquire about the situation in advance, what if I can't drive in halfway?"
Lu Mu interjected next to her: "Why don't you call your uncle first, and inform him that you are going over tomorrow, lest he be at home tomorrow, and it will be bad for you to pounce." ”
Although the road in the mountain is not easy to walk, it still belongs to the outer mountain of Longshou Mountain, and has not yet entered the inner mountain.
Therefore, ten years ago, the state has connected several villages in the mountains to electricity, and communication base stations have also been built, so that mobile phones will not have no signal.
Uncle Xu Dunru is sixty-three years old this year, ten years older than Lu's mother Xu Jinhua, but his body is still quite healthy.
Lu Yao took out his mobile phone, found his uncle's phone number, dialed Lu's mother, and said, "Mom, you come and talk to your uncle." ”
"Hey!" Lu Mu happily took the phone, and when the phone was connected, a slightly old male voice came: "Who?"
Uncle Xu Dunru used the kind of elderly machine, the screen is relatively small, and in order to save phone bills, the uncle did not open the caller ID, and every time he called, he had to ask who was on the other side to know.
"Big brother, I'm Jinhua!" Lu Mu shouted excitedly, she hadn't seen her eldest brother for a long time.
In the past few years, I have not been at home, and I have taken my grandchildren in the county seat, so I can't find time to go into the mountains to visit my eldest brother.
Xu Dunru is old, and he rarely goes out of the mountain, basically lacks something, and whoever wants to go out of the mountain in the same village or nearby villages will also help him bring some back, plus he has his own farming, and his basic life is worry-free.
"Hehe, it's you Jinhua, why did you think of calling your eldest brother today?" Xu Dunru asked with a smile, looking very happy.
Xu Dunru's father was a talented prince of the previous dynasty, because of the war in the north for many years, and it coincided with the invasion of China by the Japanese invaders, Xu Xiucai fled to the south with his family.
Xu Xiucai's wife and children died in the war, and he was the only one who fled to the mountain village of Longshou Mountain and was rescued by the mountain people in the mountains.
Because Xu Xiucai was literate and hyphenated, he won the respect of the mountain people, and at the same time, he also stayed in the cottage in frustration because his wife and children died in the war.
Relying on the enlightenment and teaching of children in nearby villages, he also knows some herbal medicine, and some simple diseases can still be treated, and life is worry-free for a while.
Later, a respected clan elder in the village appreciated Xu Xiucai very much, and gave his granddaughter to Xu Xiucai as his wife, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, the eldest being Xu Dunru and the younger being Xu Jinhua.
So the relationship between these two brothers and sisters has been very good since they were young, and when they grew up, Xu Dunru stayed in the village and married a girl from the village, while Xu Jinhua married to Xiasha Village, and slowly the contacts became less.
There are few contacts, but the feelings have not decreased, and there is no bullshit in other people's homes, which is actually what Xu Xiucai taught them well when they were young.
Lu's mother held her mobile phone and told her eldest brother that Lu Yao was going to the mountain to see him tomorrow.
Xu Dunru laughed and said: "Okay, I haven't seen Xiaoyao for several years, I remember that when he didn't go out to study before, he would come to live with me every summer vacation for a period of time, and then he came to live every New Year's holiday." ”
Lu's mother asked, "Big brother, Xiao Yao asked me to ask you, is the village open to traffic now?" ”
Xu Dunru said: "The mountain road has been repaired once in the past few years, and it can be barely opened to traffic, but the road is not very smooth, and if it is a small car, it will be more troublesome." ”
Lu Mu nodded, chatted about some family things again, and asked the eldest brother if he wanted to bring something over?
Xu Dunru said that there is everything at home, as long as people come, nothing else is needed.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mu briefly recounted the situation to Lu Yao, and when she heard that it could be opened to traffic, Lu Yao said that she would ask Duan Haifeng to borrow an off-road vehicle later.
