The mountain road was quite dangerous, so Shi Zhen drove very carefully, lest an accident would happen.
Then, unsurprisingly, the tractor broke down again.
Shi Zhen now, once the car has a problem, he already knows where the problem is, so he quickly got off the car and started repairing it.
This place is very close to the countryside. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many people coming and going. Many people stopped to talk to Shi Zhen, and other tractors were blocked.
Fortunately, after a while, Shi Zhen repaired the tractor.
He got into the car, continued to drive, and spoke to another tractor driver who had been in someone else's car before.
Shi Zhen's tractor was unable to drive to their village.
In the next ten years, many roads will be built here, and later, there will be drifting nearby, glass ropeways, etc. There are a lot of miscellaneous things, and it is convenient to enter and exit the mountain.
But at that time, no one was farming anymore. Many people settled outside, and those who stayed behind opened farmhouses, inns, and canteens.
Shi Zhen parked the car next to the junior high school, and there was an open space here.
He got out of the car and moved his muscles a bit.
It took almost two and a half days to drive this way. Although he will rest in the middle, he is still quite tired. Now it is finally here!
After relaxing, Shi Zhen went to see Guan Baiyu: "Xiaoyu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Guan Baiyu smiled and said, "Brother, I'm fine." He got a little motion sickness, but after the car sat a lot, it slowly got better.
And all along, he has always had the car with the window open, so he wouldn't get too dizzy.
The tractor is particularly bumpy, but the ventilation will not make him motion sickness.
"How is it here?" Shi Zhen looked at Guan Baiyu curiously and expectantly.
When he was with Guan Baiyu in his last life, he already had some money, and his family also took it out.
In the first year, he and Guan Baiyu had just met not long ago. When he went back to celebrate the New Year, Guan Baiyu naturally didn't follow him.
After that... He didn't go back to celebrate the New Year.
On the one hand, he did not want to be separated from Guan Baiyu, on the other hand, his family did not go back.
Zhao Meiyun was inconvenient to go back, and Shi Dalin was required to take care of him. Zhao Dongjuan refused to go back, and Shi Ting and Zhao Qiujuan were both married... He went back alone, it was meaningless.
Therefore, it was the first time that Guan Baiyu had come to his side in two lifetimes.
"It's very beautiful." Guan Baiyu's eyes were sparkling.
There are no mountains in Changxi City, only plains. He has never left Changxi City since he was a child, and he has never seen mountains.
All the way here... He was on the road and saw the mountain for the first time.
Now in the mountains, I am more curious about everything around me.
This place is completely different from where he grew up.
"I should be a little busy these two days. When I'm done, I'll show you around. There are some places here that are really beautiful." Shi Zhen said.
He hasn't come back for many, many years.
After all, everything he was familiar with was completely gone after twenty years.
Probably because of this, he is in a good mood at the moment.
The last time he came back to pick up people, the time was tight, and he couldn't stay here for too long, so he didn't look around, but this time he planned to stay here until the seventh day of the first lunar month and then go back. White Feather strolling together.
After a few years, he can bring a camera over and take some pictures.
When Shi Zhen and the others arrived in the village, it was already noon, so they didn't rush to go back. Instead, they found a family here and offered some money to help them cook a few dishes.
This family is not open for business, but their local people know that they can go to their house to eat when they come to the village to eat.
There were six Shi Zhen and the others. They ordered four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and spent a total of five yuan. The prices here are much cheaper than those in Changxi City.
At this moment, it is the end of the year, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
There are many people coming and going in the village, and there are many people who set up stalls to sell things.
At this time, more and more people saw them and came to talk to them.
"Shi Dalin, you all went out to work!"
"It's only been half a year, right? You all have tractors?"
"How much do you earn a month when you are outside?"
…
Shi Dalin especially likes when others ask him, "Yeah, I've been out for half a year."
"The tractor belongs to my son. He bought it and it's not expensive."
"I can earn 1,000 in a month, but I can't save much money because I spend a lot outside."
…
Zhao Meiyun's side is the same. Zhao Meiyun also met a few people in the same village as them, so he was even more excited, and kept telling them everything about the outside: "There are many people driving cars outside, and the cars are beautiful. ."
"There are more than ten floors of high-rise buildings!"
"People outside make a lot of money, and many people wear big gold chains around their necks."
…
As she spoke, she began to praise Shi Zhen: "My family's A Zhen is really capable. If it wasn't for him thinking about going out, how would we know it's so good outside!"
"He didn't just buy a tractor, he bought a tricycle, brand new."
"If it wasn't for him giving Dalin the stall, how could Dalin make any money?"
"He also gave Qiujuan a stall."
"He, he just doesn't know how to save, so he makes us eat meat every day. I keep saying that the landlord doesn't eat this way, but he wants us to eat this way. Alas, I've gained a lot of weight all of a sudden, and I wear all the clothes I used to wear. No way!"
"Dalin made a little money, but he couldn't hold back. He wanted to buy a color TV, but Azhen didn't stop him... I said that this thing costs electricity, and I don't want to watch it. They still have to let it."
"You know that "Journey to the West"? I finished watching it in one episode!"
…
According to the habits of the people here, no matter how good their own children are, if they keep praising them in front of others, they are not very good and will be said by others.
However, Shi Zhen is not Zhao Meiyun's biological child, Zhao Meiyun can brag about it, it doesn't matter.
As she complimented, she told people how she usually eats, how much she wears, how much she wears, and the fact that she has a color TV at home.
Standing beside Zhao Meiyun, Zhao Qiujuan added a few words from time to time, and then asked people if they wanted to buy the various things they brought back - these are all the goods they bought in the big city, not here!
What Shi Zhen brought back is really not here.
When he bought the goods, he went to Changxi City and picked the rare ones. Later, after selling them in Guanjia Village, he chose some of the most popular products to supplement.
Those things are rare in Guanjia Village, let alone here.
Colorful candies, couplets, blessing characters, and various toys that children like...
The things that Shi Zhen brought are selling well.
At this time, parents usually bring their children with them. The children will want to buy food when they see the food at his booth. After that, the parents will buy more or less.
After the Chinese New Year, even if you are poor, you can buy snacks for a few dollars.
They were setting up a stall, and Shi Xingchao came out with half a bottle of water, "Uncle, Aunt! Ah Zhen!"
He said hello to Shi Zhen and the others, and said, "I just said you should be here, and you are! Ah Zhen, clean up and go back first. Let me help you watch the stalls here?"
"It's fine, we can do it ourselves," Shi Zhen said. "You have something to do, right?" He noticed that Shi Xingchao was wearing new clothes, that is... the bottle he was carrying was the one he took from Anshan Town. Coke bottle? Is he still holding it for drinking water
"I'm fine! I'm here to help you watch, you can go back! You haven't come back for half a year, you must go back to clean up, your house has been powered off, you go back late, there is no way to clean up." Shi Xingchao said , sat down directly beside Shi Zhen, and then asked these things, what price Shi Zhen planned to sell.
What Shi Xingchao said also made sense. Shi Zhen did not refuse. He explained what he should have explained, and cleaned it up briefly. He brought the bedding and half of the goods, and planned to go home first.
Zhao Meiyun is still a little unsteady when walking. He didn't carry anything on his back, and he even took a cane. Others have more or less on their backs.
Guan Baiyu carried two quilts on his back, and Shi Zhen was a little worried when he saw it: "Xiao Yu, can you carry it on your back?"
"I can, brother, I can get some more." Guan Baiyu said.
Shi Zhen said again: "You can just carry this... Be careful, the road is not easy to walk, don't fall."
Guan Baiyu smiled, feeling complicated, what his brother was carrying was much heavier than what he was carrying.
His brother was still concerned about him.
Shi Ting was a little unhappy: "Brother, you don't care about me..." She felt that she couldn't carry it!
"Practice more." Shi Zhen said.
Shi Ting: "..." Why is her brother like this!
However, thinking that Guan Baiyu was a guest, and her brother carried more, Shi Ting didn't say much, but started to tell Guan Baiyu about their side of the house.
She and Guan Baiyu got along pretty well. After all, when she first arrived in Anshan Town, Guan Baiyu kept giving her supplementary lessons.
Moreover, Guan Baiyu is very attentive, and she has supplemented her English well, and the basic knowledge of Chinese has also been completed.
In school, although her grades in science subjects such as mathematics were not very good, her grades in Chinese and English were all above the average level, and if she memorized politics or something, she was not far behind. There were fifty students in their class. The score is around thirty-five.
Their head teacher is a Chinese teacher. She is not criticized very much in school, and she doesn't care much when she is occasionally said a few words.
A few people were talking and walking out. While walking, there were several young women passing by, and one of them was complaining to someone: "That person has something wrong, he brought me to the village, he didn't buy anything for me, I bought some myself. They even told me that it wasn't worth it, don't buy it... Their family also said that he was earning money outside, is it a liar?"
"After noon, I told him about eating, and he actually took out a plastic bag with two rice balls in it!"
"He even brought his own water, a big bottle! He even asked me if I wanted to drink it."
"I've never seen anything like this before, but I'm still looking at each other... Go over there yourself!"
…
Shi Zhen listened, and felt that the person they were talking about was a bit familiar, very similar to... Shi Xingchao.
At this time, those women also saw them. The woman who was talking met Shi Zhen's gaze, and immediately blushed and stopped talking. Finally, the young girls walked away giggling.
From the village to Shi Zhen's village, there is a road, but it's hard to walk. The mountain road sometimes looks very close, but it takes a long time to walk... After more than two hours, they returned to the village.
Shi Zhen carried the most things on his back and was exhausted, as were the others.
Fortunately, after entering the village, someone came to help carry things, and Shi Dashan came out, and asked Shi Zhen and the others: "Have you seen Xingchao? he… "
Shi Zhen: "..." The person the girl said was definitely Shi Xingchao.
Shi Zhen didn't tell what the girl said, only said that they were setting up a stall, and then Shi Xingchao came to help, and they came back first.
"Then have you seen the girl who looked at him?" Shi Dashan asked.
"I didn't see it." Shi Zhen sighed secretly.
"This stinky boy!" Shi Dashan scolded a few words, and then began to complain about his two sons, saying that in the past few days, he arranged for the two sons to see each other several times. Son is too picky.
Shi Zhen didn't know what to say.
The older generation always thinks that if the conditions are right, it will be done after seeing each other, but now the times have changed a long time ago.
Shi Dashan chanted while helping them move things home.
When Shi Zhen and the others moved out, they entrusted the house to Shi Dashan.
Shi Xingchao asked them to come back to clean up, and said that the house was out of power, but in fact, their house, Shi Dashan and his wife had already helped to clean up, and they paid a little electricity, so they could turn on a light.
When Shi Zhen and the others left, they brought a lot of things with them, but it was summer, so they only took the good ones and left a lot.
Those quilts, Shi Dalin and his wife also helped them take out and dry them, and now they are folded and placed on the bed.
There are only two bedrooms in Shi Zhen's house. Shi Dalin tidied up briefly and said, "Azhen, you and Xiaoyu sleep in one room, Meiyun brings Tingting and Qiujuan to sleep in one, and I sleep outside."
Of the two bedrooms, one is bigger. Zhao Qiujuan, Zhao Dongjuan, and Shi Ting slept in the past, but now Shi Dalin asked Zhao Meiyun and the others to sleep.
The other one was smaller. Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun slept before, and there was only a small double bed inside. Shi Dalin let Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu go to sleep.
As for himself, he planned to sleep where Shi Zhen slept before the hall.
"Dad, let me sleep outside." Shi Zhen said.
"You can accompany Xiaoyu," Shi Dalin said. "You and Xiaoyu have a good relationship, and you can talk and live together."
There is no problem with Shi Dalin's arrangement like this. It would be strange for Shi Dalin and Guan Baiyu to live together...
Shi Zhen knew that if he kept pushing back, it would appear abnormal, and he didn't refuse in the end.
But... these days, is he going to sleep with Guan Baiyu at night
In fact, nothing, left and right they do not sleep a blanket.
Guan Baiyu couldn't help but struggle at this moment. He was afraid that he would do something or show something if he lived with Shi Zhen.
However, Guan Baiyu was very fast, and he was not in the mood to think too much.
People in the village swarmed, all came to the Shi family to talk to the Shi family, to inquire about things outside, and the most important thing was... They also wanted to go out to work.
