After a few days, Daning was ready to set off.
She let two large trucks loaded with supplies go ahead and said goodbye to her grandfather.
Grandpa Ji touched his granddaughter's soft curly hair, reluctant to let her go: "That's right, our Ningning is so pretty, don't learn from those bad students, this is very cute."
When the little girl was young, she was so adorable that she was deadly cute. Compared with her skinny brother Ji Mojue, she was so pretty that after all these years, the old man still treats Dai Ning the best.
Dai Ning felt a little sad. She wanted to spend more time with her grandfather. No matter how powerful the plot was, her grandfather was the only person who did not hate or give up on her.
But time waits for no one, and to escape the tragic death of her grandfather, she had to leave.
Dai Ning waved her hand and said sweetly: "I'll be back soon!"
The old man stood at the door and watched his granddaughter's car drive away.
Dai Ning was sitting in the car chewing bubble gum when Uncle Qian, who was driving, suddenly said, "Miss, your friend is waving."
It took too long for Daning to think about it for a while, and it took her a long time to remember who the "good friend" was.
When she was seventeen, she did have a good friend, a girl from a well-off family, slightly plump but sweet-spoken, named Chen Xiaoli. Although Dai Ning was not nice to others, she had nothing to say about Chen Xiaoli.
But this guy is actually an ungrateful person. A few years later, he went around slandering her reputation, saying how mean and vicious she was. He even seemed to have become good friends with the heroine, and no one knows what his fate was.
There was a hint of amusement in Daning's eyes.
"Stop the car." See what Chen Xiaoli is going to do.
The car had driven a short distance, and seeing that Dai Ning had no intention of getting off, Chen Xiaoli had no choice but to catch up with her, panting.
She opened the car door and complained as usual: "Daning, didn't we agree to watch it together yesterday..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiaoli froze and looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief.
The pretty girl in front of him, who looked like a doll, curled her eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Xiaoli was so confused that she couldn't believe it was Ji Daining! How did she become so beautiful
She suppressed her sour thoughts and became even more dissatisfied: "Go to the exhibition!"
Originally, Dai Ning had made an appointment with her to go to the exhibition, but Dai Ning didn't go. Usually, these activities were paid for by the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Since Dai Ning didn't go, Chen Xiaoli was reluctant to spend the money, so naturally she didn't go either.
Dai Ning propped up her chin: "Oh, I forgot."
Chen Xiaoli subconsciously wanted to get angry, but looking at the pair of bright eyes in front of her, she couldn't say anything. She had a premonition that if she fell out with Dai Ning, her "friendship" with Dai Ning would be over.
"where are you going?"
Dai Ning looked at her and found her quite interesting. She said, "We are going on vacation in Xinghua Village."
Chen Xiaoli had an idea. Although she didn't know where Xinghua Village was, wherever the young lady went, it must be a good place.
She rolled her eyes and said, "I know you've been in a bad mood recently. I'll go with you and take care of you."
Daning almost laughed.
"You want to come and take care of me?" After a few years of experience, I realized that Chen Xiaoli's shallow mind was not enough to look at, and everything was written on her face.
"yes."
Dai Ning said, "Okay, but won't your parents be worried?"
Chen Xiaoli: "I'll call back."
Dai Ning did not stop her, she watched Chen Xiaoli climb into the car, looking very excited. Chen's parents also loved to take advantage of others, Chen Xiaoli got hundreds of thousands of benefits from Dai Ning, they were eager for their daughter to be on good terms with the eldest daughter, and praised Chen Xiaoli for being smart.
Dai Ning suppressed her laughter and said, "Let's go."
We drove for a day and a half and then stopped at a hotel to rest for one night.
As they were getting further and further off the track, they switched to a tricycle and continued on their way. Chen Xiaoli finally felt something was wrong.
"Where exactly are we going?"
Dai Ning took out a bag of melon seeds and cracked them. She was stingy, so she shared some with Uncle Qian, Xiao Zhang and the others, but not with Chen Xiaoli: "Xinghua Village."
Chen Xiaoli was restless, but she tried her best to hold it in. She comforted herself that the eldest lady would not seek hardship for herself, and there must be a paradise waiting for them.
Until the afternoon, a rain suddenly came, the ground was slippery and muddy, and they were about to go into the mountains.
Chen Xiaoli was a little scared, but since she was here, she couldn't just go back without getting any benefits!
Several people were sitting on the tricycle, and only Dai Ning had a cushion.
Uncle Qian got out of the car first: "Wait a minute, Miss. I'll be right back."
Dai Ning was humming a song, in a good mood, swinging her legs in the air. The rain fell on her tender legs, and the young man Xiao Zhang said, "Miss, don't do that, you'll catch a cold."
Dai Ning responded, touched Xiao Zhang's head, and took his legs back. Xiao Zhang's face suddenly turned red.
Chen Xiaoli was very anxious and looked around, but this place looked like a remote mountain. She took out her cell phone and saw that there was no signal!
"We are going into the mountains?"
"yes."
Chen Xiaoli was very suspicious. How could she get in? She would slip even when walking!
Uncle Qian came back soon after, and brought with him two mountain people who had been waiting there in advance. They were carrying a small, exquisitely crafted chair with a canopy on top that could provide shade and keep out the rain.
"Sit down, miss."
Chen Xiaoli watched Dai Ning sit on the chair and couldn't help asking, "What about me?"
Dai Ning chuckled. She was sweet and her voice was as crisp as a bell: "Walk."
Uncle Qian said, "I'm sorry, we only prepared the one for the eldest lady. Miss Chen can choose to go back."
To be honest, Uncle Qian has never liked Chen Xiaoli. Although this girl is young, she is quite thoughtful. She looks domineering, but she has suffered a lot in front of Chen Xiaoli.
Xiao Zhang's name is Zhang Yongfeng. He is an honest and loyal man with a muscular body.
He jumped down and picked up the young lady's spare shoes. He didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Chen Xiaoli walk. He was walking too. Besides, only a pretty and delicate person like the young lady would be unable to walk at first glance.
Chen Xiaoli gritted her teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved, and followed them.
After walking for more than an hour, Chen Xiaoli's pants were covered with mud. She regretted her decision and wanted to go back, but when she saw the steep cliffs and winding mountain roads, she felt desperate and could only grit her teeth and move forward.
On the other hand, Dai Ning was sitting on a small chair, eating snacks, and Zhang Yongfeng would talk to her from time to time to make her happy.
She was so happy that she stuffed a candy into Zhang Yongfeng's mouth. In Chen Xiaoli's eyes, it was clearly like teasing a dog, but Zhang Yongfeng was completely unaware and his ears were red.
Chen Xiaoli looked at the road ahead in despair, which seemed to have no end.
This is not a paradise on earth at all, it's just poverty and bad water. Is there such a poor and terrible place in the country
The Xinghua Village in the book is indeed bad and backward. How bad is it? Suppose there is no money to buy a wife.
Therefore, the only way to continue the offspring is for a girl of marriageable age in one family in the village to marry a son of marriageable age in another family.
The villagers have been farming for generations, but because of its remote location, their life is not even as good as the rural life in the 1960s.
As a male-oriented novel, perhaps the setting is for the pleasure of counterattack and upgrade. Such a backward place, with no government subsidies, seems isolated from the world and depends on the future male protagonist to save it.
Until a few days ago, several men in shirtsleeves came to the village. Their clothes were so white and neat. They carried countless sealed boxes into the village chief's house to discuss something.
The villagers looked around and guessed that something big was about to happen.
It was the busy farming season, but unexpectedly the village chief's family stopped harvesting rice. The whole family went to clean up the newly built bungalow, and all the beautiful boxes were carried into the bungalow.
The village chief's family was the first to build a bungalow. The other families all built tiled houses. They haven't had time to live in the bungalows yet, but now it seems that they have to give them up.
The villagers were very curious and caught the second daughter of the village chief.
"Erniu, what does your father do? Your house is so nice, who wants to live in it?"
Erniu sniffed, "My dad said a young lady is coming to live with us, and my brother and sister will go move her things later."
Erniu's cheeks were tanned red. She said, "Dad said the eldest daughter's family is very rich. We should put a blanket on the cement floor. I have seen her blanket. It feels very comfortable."
But such a good thing was actually stepped on by the young lady.
There were only a few dozen families in Xinghua Village, and the gossip spread that day. A precious young lady from the city was coming to their village! It was said that everyone who helped her move things would get at least 200 yuan!
Two hundred!
They sell 100 kilograms of rice in Xinghua Village for less than 200 yuan. No matter whether it is real or fake, men, women, young and old all compete to move things for the eldest lady in the afternoon.
A villager passed by Widow Du's door and kindly called out, "Your daughter Tian can go too. You can get extra money if you move more."
Du Yuexiang shook her head: "Tiantian is weak, forget it."
Ji Tian, who was sewing clothes in the room, couldn't help but frown. She had been in this book for half a month. She was desperate about the poverty and backwardness of this village. Who would have thought that in this shabby place, there would be a great figure a few years later -
Eighteen-year-old Zhao Yu.
In the later part of this book, anyone who meets Zhao Yu has to respectfully call him Master Zhao.
Ji Tian has never been a self-pitying person. She thinks it is destiny to be with the future boss, and she is immediately full of fighting spirit. With Zhao Yu's support, is there still a worry about not having a good life in the future
She didn't know that her identity was Ji Tian, the illegitimate daughter of the Ji family. After all, she now took her mother's surname and was called Du Tian.
Du Tian put down the clothes in her hand and couldn't help thinking, did Zhao Yu have such a precious young lady when he was young in the book? Is it related to Zhao Yu's future history of making a fortune
After all, it was a male-oriented novel, so the explanation of the events in the early period of the rise was not very clear. Du Tian calmed down and decided to go and see what happened.
She deliberately changed into her best outfit, a light pink dress.
Du Tian had long discovered that she was different from other girls in the village. She had a pretty face and her mother was also very elegant. However, it was not easy for both mother and daughter to live in the countryside because they were both elegant.
As she passed by the ridge of a field, she saw a figure harvesting rice in the field.
The boy's trouser legs were rolled up high, he was barefoot, and his forehead was covered with sweat. It had just rained, and now the sun was shining brightly.
The boy's skin was tanned, and his exposed arms and legs were very strong. He was young and hardworking, and his movements were sharp. Wherever he walked, rice piled up.
Everyone went to help the eldest lady move things, but he didn't go.
Du Tian breathed a sigh of relief and called out softly, "Brother Zhao Yu."
The boy looked up.
He had clear eyebrows and eyes, a shallow wound on his cheek from the rice, and he looked tired. The boy wiped his sweat and said, "Tian Niu'er, what's the matter?"
Du Tian said: "Just call me Du Tian."
She was really not used to the people in Xinghua Village calling her by such rustic names, calling the boy "xxwa" and the girl "xniu".
Seeing that he had no intention of moving things, Du Tian handed him the bottle of water.
"Nothing, I'll bring you some water, drink it."
"Thank you." Zhao Yu did not refuse. He was really thirsty. The mountains were like a silent cage, locking him in. There were five people in his family. His father was a paraplegic, his mother was ill from overwork, and his younger brother was twelve years old and was in junior high school in the village. He had to go home to take care of his parents and his younger sister, who was only six years old.
The burden of the family fell on the young man. Even though he was smart and had ideals, in such a fragile family, if he left, he didn't know if the others could survive for half a month.
Zhao Yu had been cutting rice for the whole morning and finally had some water to drink.
Du Tian looked at his rolling Adam's apple and simply sat on the ridge of the field: "Let me talk to you."
Zhao Yu lowered his eyes and said nothing. He continued to work hard. He had heard that he could get money by helping the young lady move things, but two hundred yuan was not a long-term solution. In addition to the people who moved things, other families also had other strong laborers. He was the only one in his family. It would be better to harvest the rice and dry the millet. When the family had enough food, he would feel more at ease to go out and find a job.
He didn't listen to what Du Tian said.
For a hungry person, a pretty girl is not as good as a fragrant steamed bun. It will be hotter in the afternoon, so we have to work quickly.
Zhao Yu didn't say anything. The noise could be heard from afar. The people who were harvesting rice around him straightened up and looked towards the road.
"It's so lively, that must be the little girl from the big city!"
Du Tian was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Yu also raised his head to look over.
