The van was driving very fast on the Xizhong Highway! The Xizhong Highway, which I didn’t usually think of as much, now felt in Mu Yi’s heart, it was simply a “highway”. Although there were sharp bends, steep slopes and high hills,

But compared with the "highway" in Zhongguozhuang, it is really much better!

Today went very smoothly. Because the seven people pulled by the van driver were all colleagues, they were not as restrained as the other stranger passengers. The mood was not as tense as when we came down from Zhongguozhuang, and became extremely relaxed and happy. The journey was also pleasant.

There is no need to pick up or drop off passengers.

As the van turned the last big bend, the meandering West Turtle River appeared in Mu Yi's sight again.

Mu Yi couldn't help but said excitedly: "Ah! Datang! I'm back!"

Pan Jianguo: "Mu Yi, you should shout, 'I, Hu Hansan, am back again'."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Soon the van stopped on the roadside on the north slope. Ma Buqi and Kang Hongtai got out of the car and paid the fare. Everyone said goodbye to each other. The van continued to go downhill quickly along the road and flew towards Datang.

When we arrived at Datang Street, we parked the car. Mu Yi got off the bus immediately, paid the fare, said goodbye to Zhang Gang, Wen Gengzhi, Pan Jianguo and Wang Dal, and prepared to go home.

By this time, it was already afternoon. I had a "huge sum" of about 800 pieces of Muyi in my pocket, and I felt that my waist had become a lot stronger. I walked to the pork stall and cut a large piece of pork. Then I left.

I went to the tofu stall and planned to buy a piece of tofu, but when I smelled it, I found that the tofu was already a bit sour. I didn't buy it. I bought cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes instead.

After buying the vegetables, I felt that something was missing. I went to the fruit stand across the street and bought a large banana. After buying the bananas, I went to the grocery store and bought two cans of luncheon meat, three bottles of Coke, and two bottles of beer.

Carrying these big and small bags of things in my hands felt quite heavy.

Mu Yi carried his things and walked swaggeringly from Xinshi Street to his home. He met acquaintances on the road and everyone greeted each other warmly. In normal times, Mu Yi would not take the initiative to say hello to others. But it was different now.

Work makes people confident, and money makes people confident.

Mu Yi is no longer the unemployed young man who is melancholy and confused in order to survive. He has been working for more than a month and is a serious township cadre. He doesn't even say hello to people he usually meets, but now he meets him

They all smiled and said hello.

This feeling of being "respected" by others is so good. It instantly lifted Mu Yi's energy.

When he walked to the door of his house, Mu Yi saw that the courtyard door was unlocked. Since both hands were carrying things, he could only push the door open with his shoulders. As soon as he walked in, it had been more than a month since he saw Mu Yi's black face.

Tiger, very excited, rushed over, hugged Mu Yi's legs tightly with his two front paws, and kept rubbing his head on Mu Yi's legs...

Hearing the noise, Xiaojie and Brother Jun immediately ran out of the main room and took a look. The eldest brother was standing in front of the kennel, carrying many things, teasing Black Tiger.

Brother Jun ran to the entrance of the courtyard as fast as the wind. "Brother, you are back."

Xiaojie also walked over quickly. The two took the things from the eldest brother's hand, and the three brothers entered the room with smiles.

Mu Yiyi saw that the fingers and palms of his hands had been pinched blue and white by the pocket handles.

Mu Yi looked around the room. It was still the same. Seeing that his mother was not at home, he asked, "Are you two the only ones at home?"

Xiaojie: "Yes. Big brother. Mom came back, took the food back and left again."

Brother Jun: "Brother, this banana is so yellow and so big."

Mu Yi: "Break it and eat it. I bought it just for you to eat."

Brother Jun quickly broke one off, quickly tore off the peel of the banana, took a big bite and held it in his mouth, which made his cheeks on both sides bulge. He chewed and swallowed, and it was solved by three times five times divided by two.

Got a banana.

Mu Yi looked at Brother Jun eating bananas and felt a little funny and sad at the same time. He walked to the table and broke off two bananas and handed them to Xiaojie and Brother Jun.

Brother Jun took the banana and broke another one and handed it to Mu Yi. The three brothers laughed while eating the banana.

Xiaojie: "Brother, you've cut so much meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it all."

Mu Yi: "Not too much, not too much, only two pounds and eighty taels. Brother Jun, open the fire door. First boil some water and wash the meat. Then I will cut it into lumps and cook it for eating."

Xiaojie: "Brother, why don't you fry it and eat it?"

Mu Yi: "I won't fry it anymore, it's rare to cook it. I'm going to eat meat today. Boil it into lumps and eat it. When you dry it, it's just like a lump. It's so satisfying."

Brother Jun smiled and said: "Second brother, you see how my eldest brother has changed in just one month. He has become like a 'barbarian'. He no longer eats fried meat, but eats lump meat."

As soon as Mu heard what Brother Jun said, he said to Brother Jun very seriously: "Brother Jun, don't say 'barbarian' anymore. Do you know what 'barbarian' is? Only unreasonable people are called 'barbarians'."

Barbarians. The folks in Zhongguozhuang are from the Yi ethnic group, not ‘barbarians’. Whether they are Han or Yi people, those who are unreasonable are ‘barbarians’. Do you understand?”

Brother Jun made a face quietly, thinking that Mu Yi didn't see it. Mu Yi kept staring at him, and then he said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I will remember it."

Mu Yi: "That's right. From now on, we must remember that our Chinese nation is a big family composed of fifty-six ethnic groups. Hans, Yis, Tibetans, and Hui people are all brothers and sisters. We cannot say that those who are not

It’s conducive to national unity.”

Xiaojie: "Brother, you are right. We remember it. Are you used to it up there? Has anyone bullied you?"

Mu Yi: "I'm used to it. No one bullies my elder brother. My elder brother is a township cadre. The fellow villagers in the mountains respect us very much. There are no local gangsters who dare to go to the township government to cause trouble."

Brother Jun: "Is Zhongguozhuang fun? I heard from the old people in the village that the conditions there are very difficult, right?"

Mu Yi: "How can I tell you whether Zhongguozhuang is good or not? If we are talking about the natural environment simply, Zhongguozhuang does not have any towering trees. It can be said that most of the places are bare mountains, and some trees have grown too much.

Weeds. It’s very cold when it rains. When it doesn’t rain, if it’s sunny, it’s blue sky and white clouds. If it’s cloudy, it’s basically a gray house with mist. There is a big temperature difference between morning and night.”

Brother Jun: "Brother, your water is boiling."

Mu Yi: "Oh. Go get a ladle of cold water to warm it and wash the meat."

After a lot of work, the Tuo Tuo meat is cooked. Simply get some chili powder, minced garlic, pepper powder, salt, and wood ginger seeds, and mix it well.

Mu Yi: "Go and wash your hands quickly. There is still Coke and beer in your pocket. You two drink Coke, and I drink beer."

The three brothers were like this, holding drinks and beer in their left hands, and meat in their right hands. One sip of drink, one sip of wine, and one sip of meat. They opened their bellies and ate all the meat.

Mu Yi: "Are you full?"

Brother Jun: "Brother, I thought I saw some cans in my pocket just now."

Muyi: "Want to eat?"

Brother Jun: "Of course I want to eat it. I don't know what it tastes like yet. It must be delicious, right?"

The three brothers found scissors and pried open the can with great effort. Brother Jun quickly took a bite with a spoon and ate it.

Xiaojie: "What does it smell like?"

Brother Jun: “It’s delicious!”

Xiaojie took the spoon and took a mouthful to eat.

Mu Yi: "Is it delicious?"

Xiaojie: "It's delicious." After saying that, he handed the spoon to Muyi.

Mu Yi also took a bite and ate it. He also thought it was delicious because the taste of canned meat was different from that of Tuo Tuo meat. However, to be honest, it didn’t feel as delicious as Tuo Tuo meat. Maybe it was because the can was cold.

Right? Or maybe it’s because you’re almost full from the meat you just ate?

Xiaojie and Brother Jun each took a few more bites to eat, but they didn't finish the can. They didn't want to eat it.
