In about an hour and a half, He Yong drove Zhang Ran and the others to a village. As soon as they arrived at the village, He Yong couldn't help but slow down.
He Yong looked at the village that had changed so much, and for a moment it seemed that he could not find his way home.
Just like this, slowly driving to the last row, Zhang Ran saw some people gathered around the roadside, including two old men and women in their seventies who were staring at the road expectantly.
Their clenched palms and anxious and expectant eyes have already revealed their identities.
When He Yong saw the second elder, he couldn't bear it any longer. He stopped the car and turned off the engine, got out of the car and ran over.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, my son is unfilial!" He Yong plopped down and knelt in front of the two elders, his cheeks already soaked with tears.
When they saw He Yong, the old man and the old lady were also extremely surprised, feeling both distressed and emotional.
"Quickly, get up quickly. It'll be good to come back. It'll be good to come back." The old lady quickly pulled He Yong up while wiping her tears. Although the old man didn't speak, his eyes were staring at He Yong closely.
When He Yong got up, a burst of firecrackers rang out. This was prepared for He Yong to get rid of bad luck.
"Where is Xiaoqing?" The old lady didn't see her granddaughter and was a little confused.
At this time, Zhang Ran and He Qing got out of the car. When they saw Zhang Ran, the old man and the old lady were also stunned.
Of course they knew Zhang Ran. Their family had made a fortune because of Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran had also been here twice. They were also particularly impressed by Zhang Ran.
Seeing this face, which has not changed much since then, and the long smile on the corner of the mouth, my memory seems to be back to that time.
"You...are you Boss Zhang?" the old man asked with some uncertainty.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I am Zhang Ran, uncle and aunt, long time no see."
"Oh, is it really Boss Zhang? Come on, come in and do it. I'm sorry, I didn't clean up and let you see the joke." The old lady was a little incoherent.
Some of the other people around me were not very familiar, but some people in their fifties and sixties felt familiar and slightly familiar.
Someone soon remembered, "Isn't this the noble boss of Dayong back then? Hasn't changed at all in all these years?"
"Yes, yes, I also remembered it, but didn't I hear that something happened to him? Is this it?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like he's doing well, and the car doesn't seem to be worth much, either."
"Hey, you don't care what kind of life he has, as long as he can pick up Dayong, that's enough."
"How do you think he takes care of himself? How come he doesn't seem to have changed at all after so many years."
"Who knows, but people in the city just look younger."
"Is there anyone who looks so young?"
"Who is this Boss Zhang? Why haven't I seen him before?" A young man asked curiously.
"Let me tell you, the boss in this picture was not a simple person back then. Have you seen the small bungalow of Dayong's family? It was built by Boss Zhang back then. You know, it was only 80 years ago. If nothing else, Boss Zhang was really good to Dayong, who was the richest man in our village back then."
... ... ... ... ..
Zhang Ran looked at this small bungalow built more than thirty years ago and was a little lost. Although the exterior wall was dilapidated, some of the style of that year could already be seen.
"Boss Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Please take a seat." The old lady started to pack up in a hurry.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Auntie, there's no need to go to such trouble. Please help Dayong get it done first. I'll be fine."
"Boss Zhang, I'm really sorry, I..." the old lady said a little embarrassed.
After Zhang Ran's repeated persuasion, the old lady went over to get busy. There was also a set of procedures here, all to remove He Yong's bad luck.
He Qing was standing by the side. Some older people saw that she was fine, so they quietly pulled her to ask about Zhang Ran.
"Xiao Qing, what's going on with Boss Zhang? Didn't you hear that something happened back then?" In fact, no one really expected He Qing to know anything, it was just curiosity.
"That's right, Xiaoqing, back then this Boss Zhang was a noble person in your family. No, our village has benefited from Boss Zhang. Please tell us."
Zhang Ran did not treat He Yong badly back then, and He Yong was a very emotional person. When he became rich, he did not forget his hometown. He helped the people in his hometown a lot in those years.
Even if something happened to Zhang Ran, He Yong returned to his hometown and did his best until something happened to He Yong.
He Qing looked at these uncles and uncles. These uncles and uncles had also helped their family a lot over the years. Otherwise, their family, old and young, would have been more difficult to live without their help.
"I just heard on the road that Uncle Zhang was traveling on the Goddess of Destiny. You all know this, right?" He Qing thought about it for a moment and then explained the matter.
In fact, He Qing felt that in the past, although everyone would help their family because of He Yong's previous affairs, in general, there was still some avoidance, or a kind of alienation.
This is especially true as time goes by and she grows up. Favors are used once and less. As time goes by, there will be fewer people who care about them.
He Qing could tell that the attitudes of these people had changed somewhat since they recognized Zhang Ran.
When He Qing said this, some people didn't understand it, while others figured it out in an instant.
"Oh, it turns out that's what happened. Let me tell you, boss Zhang was such a big man back then. How could something happen when he said something?"
"Yes, yes, Xiaoqing, looking at Boss Zhang's attitude, good times are coming for your family." Some older people said one after another.
"Tch, uncle, you are exaggerating. I see in this picture that the boss only drives a car worth more than 200,000 yuan. How can he be so prosperous?" A young man seemed to be laughing at the elders for their lack of knowledge.
"You know what the heck, capable people are always capable. Just rely on Boss Zhang's ability, will he still be bad in the future?" This is a relatively simple idea of rural people.
In the eyes of many people who have seen the world, a large part of success is due to the right time and place, followed by harmony.
But in the eyes of rural people, those who have the ability can do it anywhere.
"Gong Wazi, think about it carefully. Boss Zhang was so powerful back then, and he still had some connections. With these connections, I believe that Boss Zhang will definitely make a comeback."
Zhang Ran had a strong impression on the people in their village, letting them know for the first time that someone could be so rich, so these people seemed to have a blind confidence in Zhang Ran.
It can also be said that Zhang Ran was the idol of these people back then. They used to dream of being like Zhang Ran, so they tried their best to speak for Zhang Ran at this time.
