It's now past one in the afternoon. After riding in the car all morning, Zhang Lei is somewhat tired. However, when he saw the road sign in front of him, he immediately became energetic.
"Madman... Ji Feng, the boundary of Mangshi County is ahead!"
Zhang Lei's voice came from the walkie-talkie. This guy was used to calling him crazy when he opened his mouth. As soon as he said the words, he remembered that Ji Feng's mother Xiao Sumei was still in Ji Feng's car. He couldn't say this randomly. Call.
Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said with a smile: "Cheer up, we'll be home in half an hour, so be careful when driving!"
You could tell from Zhang Lei's voice that this guy was a little tired. Ji Feng couldn't help but remind him that driving while tired would definitely be dangerous. Especially after arriving in Manshi County, you must drive even more carefully.
Small counties like Mangshi County are different from big cities like Jiangzhou. People in small counties rarely have traffic rules in their minds. Anyway, as long as there is space on the road, they dare to walk even if they are going against traffic. Moreover, many small merchants and hawkers set up stalls directly on the roadside, occupying most of the road.
There are also wheat harvested by some farmers, and the straw is piled directly on the roadside, allowing the passing vehicles to help crush the wheat grains, so there are many more unstable factors on the road!
In this situation, if you drive carelessly, problems may occur at any time, and Ji Feng had to remind Zhang Lei.
"Hehe, don't worry, I will always be very careful when driving!" Zhang Lei laughed and said: "Ji Feng, go to my house first. Anyway, you have to arrange a place to live first. Come to my house to have a rest until the arrangements are made. Where you live, you can go back to work, okay?!"
Ji Feng smiled and said, "I have to ask my mother about this..."
Before he finished speaking, his mother in the back row said: "This is a good arrangement!"
Ji Feng immediately laughed: "Leizi, did you hear that? My mother said yes, let's arrange it like this!"
"okay!"
Zhang Lei suddenly became energetic again, "Hey, darling, there are four guards here. Although they are guards protecting Xiao Sumei, it is more honorable to follow him."
Of course, Zhang Lei also wanted to take this opportunity to let those in the County Party Committee's Family Court see what kind of background his family had!
He knows very well that his father, Tong Kaide, is a low-key person and usually does not reveal his background. More importantly, the situation in all aspects is somewhat complicated. If you let others know your family's background easily, you may become a pawn for others to use, and you will often be used as a weapon by some people who play games.
Therefore, since arriving in Mangshi County, Tong Kaide has relied solely on his own ability to do things and has not mentioned his background to anyone at all.
However, if they went directly to the family home now, the effect would be greatly different.
Xiao Sumei and Ji Feng are both from the Ji family. If they go, there may not be anything wrong, but Xiao Sumei has guards around him, so everyone will know that this is a person with a good background.
But unfortunately, others don't know who these people are. They only know that they are related to the Tong family. In this case, everyone will know that Tong Kaide has a huge background, or at least has a relationship with someone with a background.
So, even if Tong Kaide is transferred after the New Year, the people in Manshi County will not leave so quickly. Even if there is a situation of one emperor and one courtier, for Tong Kaide, These cadres left behind in Mangshi County will definitely be in awe of him. If anything happens to him, it will be convenient for him to reach out.
In addition, Zhang Lei also has another meaning in it. Ji Feng's hometown is in Manshi County. If Tong Kaide makes it known that the remaining cadres will take care of the people in Ji Feng's hometown, I believe those people will do the same. Work harder!
So a trip to Tong Kaide's house first can be said to be a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Ji Feng didn't care what Zhang Lei thought, he just knew that this brother would not cheat him, let alone harm him, and that was enough. In fact, even if Ji Feng really knew Zhang Lei's plan, he would only smile slightly. Friends should help each other, this is normal.
Although the car slowed down a lot when it arrived in Manshi County, it still entered Manshi County in less than twenty minutes.
Looking at the bustling crowds on the road, the chaotic traffic and the playing children, Ji Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy. This is the place where he was born and grew up. Even though it has his most painful memories, it is still a memory after all, better than the place where he was born and grew up. It's much better to be in a strange place and not know what to do.
"Huh!" Ji Feng sighed softly, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said: "Xiaoying, slow down the car and let me lead the way. You don't know the road ahead!"
Although navigators are easy to use, in a small county like Manshi County, many roads are not marked with road names. When people talk about a certain road, most of the time they will mention a more famous building near that road.
For example, the name of the road behind No. 2 Middle School is Renmin Road, but if you ask people in Manshi County, few people know about it. But if you ask about the main road behind No. 2 Middle School, almost everyone who has been to the county knows it.
"OK!"
Xiaoying replied, then slowed down and let Ji Feng's car pass.
"Leilei, are you happy to go home now?!" Xiao Sumei asked while sitting in the back seat of the car, holding Tong Lei's hand.
"It's okay. I came back once on November, so I don't miss it that much!" Tong Lei said crisply.
Xiao Sumei suddenly chuckled. She was satisfied with this future daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart. This girl was as beautiful as a spotless fairy. His son was really lucky to have such a girlfriend. .
In the past, the most Xiao Sumei could hope for was that her son would be admitted to a good university, find a virtuous daughter-in-law after graduation, and live a stable life, and she would be satisfied.
But now, everything has changed from what he imagined, and he finally wants to go back to the home he left for more than ten years.
Not only that, even his son, who had suffered so much humiliation, now had to be dragged over by him, and was about to once again step into the hometown that gave him endless painful memories... No, that is not his son's hometown!
Xiao Sumei defended her son in her heart. It was definitely not her son's home. If it was his home, how could the family treat her son like that
Thinking back to the time when my son was so young, he was stubborn and determined not to step foot in that village again. Even in the next ten years or so, he never mentioned that village again, as if he had forgotten all the previous things. of.
Xiao Sumei knew that her son had not forgotten it, but had kept it deeply in his heart.
The apparent forgetfulness actually represents the deep remembrance in the heart!
Xiao Sumei couldn't help but shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart. Although she had always hoped that her son could let go of the past grudges, it seemed that even she couldn't identify with the people in that family and didn't want her son to be wronged. So with his son's character , I will not be wronged for no reason, even if it is for my own sake, my son will never do it!
"I just hope those people don't go too far, otherwise, even if my son doesn't get angry, I will be unable to help but walk away!" Xiao Sumei said secretly.
What she fears most is that the family member is ignorant and will say something that will make everyone unable to step down. In that case, it will be the old man's life that will be delayed in the end!
"Mom, Uncle Tong's home is just ahead!" Ji Feng's voice brought Xiao Sumei back to her senses, and she subconsciously raised her hair.
"Stop in front. We were in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare any gifts. I want to go to the front to buy something!" Xiao Sumei said.
Ji Feng said with a smile: "Mom, I'll just go. If you go down, Xiaoying and the guards will follow. The formation is a bit big and attracts too much attention!"
Xiao Sumei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, remember to buy some suitable things, but don't buy them randomly!"
Ji Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know what to buy!"
Although Manshi County is small in area, it has a large population, and with such a strong consumption power, there will naturally be a large supermarket located at the most prosperous intersection in Manshi County.
Ji Feng thought about it and realized that he didn't actually need to take anything when he went to Tong Kaide's house. As long as he went there, it would be the best gift. But due to etiquette, gifts must be brought.
So he chose a few bottles of slightly more expensive wine and two packs of famous cigarettes, paid and walked out of the supermarket.
Later, Ji Feng and Xiao Sumei came to Tong Kaide's house with gifts.
Tong Kaide was naturally very happy to see the two of them arriving, but Ji Feng just said hello to the two of them, and then went to book a hotel with Ji Feng.
Ever since he decided to follow his mother to Mangshi County, Ji Feng had never thought about living in that home. If he really lived there, he was afraid that he would strangle those people to death when he woke up in the middle of the night and sleepwalked!
After booking a hotel and returning to Tong Kaide's house, Xiao Sumei was already standing at the door of the family home. Tong Kaide and his wife were personally accompanying her, and her mother was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Tong in a low voice.
"Uncle Tong, see you later!" Ji Feng sat in the driver's seat, smiling and waving.
"You kid, are you being polite to me? Slow down on the road. Your mother must be a little tired after riding for such a long time!" Tong Kaide said with a smile. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that his daughter and Ji Feng were like each other. The affection between a pair of children, and the parents of both parties had already met, so Ji Feng was his prospective son-in-law, so he was naturally extremely enthusiastic.
Ji Feng smiled and nodded. After his mother greeted them, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the village that he would never forget—Xiaojiazhuang!
