Chapter fifty-seven, go home

The soaring eagle is galloping on the country road, and the roar of the engine is particularly sweet.

It is also due to the strength of the country that the country roads are now flat and smooth, without the bumps and hardships of the past.

Looking at the farmland and hills outside the window, the three of them were in a particularly good mood. They were chatting and laughing without the difficulty of walking.

Gan Yuan's home is about two hundred kilometers away from Jiangcheng. In just over three hours, Gan Yuan had already arrived in the town.

"Let's take a rest and walk around the town. We'll just take a look at what to buy and take it back."

Although she had brought some gifts, she felt that there was not enough while driving on the road. Su Qingqing also shouted that she wanted to bring gifts, so she simply got out of the car to rest and collect herself before going home.

Although Gan Yuan goes home every New Year, he actually hasn't visited the town in many years.

After walking around for a while, although it was still quite lively, it seemed not as lively as when I went to the town market when I was a child.

Maybe it was because we were missing the market, or maybe people from the town were flocking to the city.

Watching the adults and mothers stacking tables and playing mahjong on the street, and watching the children jumping and playing on the street, it is not as tense as in the city at all, but full of a soothing rhythm.

This is the slow pace of life.

A life without so much tension and pressure.

Gan Yuan took a deep breath. Not sure if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the air here was sweeter than in the city.

"Here, when I was a kid, I came to the town to attend the fair, and my favorite place was to hang out here."

"Because that shop used to sell candy cakes. Sometimes my dad would buy me one if he saw that I wanted to eat them."

Gan Yuan introduced everything about the town to the two girls, and the two girls were also very interested.

"Let's go. There is a supermarket in the town. You can just buy something. I don't lack anything at home."

It didn't take long for the three of them to get into the car, carrying large and small bags.

When the car reached an intersection, Gan Yuan suddenly stopped.

This is the only way to Wuguang Village, Gan Yuan's hometown, and many people will wait for the shuttle bus here.

Gan Yuan stuck his head out of the window: "Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang, here!"

A short but strong man on the side of the road looked back and found Gan Yuan sitting in the car after a while: "Yo! Clam! You're back! And you're driving such a big car!"

Clam?

The eyes of the two girls looking at Gan Yuan changed.

Gan Yuan scratched his head: "My nickname is from the countryside."

Then he took the initiative to get out of the car and greeted Brother Qiang: "What, are you waiting for the bus to go home? Let's just go together!"

Brother Qiang’s name is Zhang Zhengqiang, and he is the son of the old man Zhang Yuhuai in the previous poverty alleviation video.

He was five or six years older than Gan Yuan, and he had taken Gan Yuan to fish and pick fruits since he was a child. However, he didn't study well and his family background was poor. He helped farm at home after graduating from junior high school.

"You're amazing! The video you shot for us last time had someone from the official family filming it! All the cherries were sold out!"

"Is this the car you bought? How grand! You have been a capable person since you were a child!"

He touched the car door and made a clicking sound.

"I won't go up. I'm covered in mud. Don't make your car dirty. Otherwise, the shuttle bus will be here soon."

Gan Yuan rolled his eyes at him and pushed him into the car.

"What are you talking about? When I was a kid and I broke my leg, you were carrying me on your back for more than a mile on a mountain road?"

He pushed Zhang Zhengqiang into the car without any explanation, and then he saw that there were two big girls in the car who were dressed like celebrities. Their white arms and legs made him not know where to put his eyes.

Fortunately, both Dong Yiyuan and Su Qingqing are very talkative people with good personalities, so they don't mean to look down on him.

Dong Yiyuan took the initiative to give up her seat.

"Hello, Brother Qiang, you can sit here. It'll be fine. It won't get dirty. Isn't the car just for people to sit in?"

Zhang Yuqiang smiled naively, and then sat down cautiously.

When Gan Yuan got in the car, he praised in a low voice: "You are really promising, you have found two such beautiful wives!"

Gan Yuan was choked up, while the two girls giggled.

"No, not my girlfriend, they are both my friends, they just came to the country to play together."

Su Qingqing's little eyes rolled and she said, "Brother Qiang, I just heard from Brother Gan that you used to climb trees when you were children. Is there anything embarrassing about him? Tell us about it!"

Before Gan Yuan could stop him, he heard Zhang Zhengqiang speak.

"Don't tell me, Lazi is the skinniest among our group of children, but he loves to follow me and makes a lot of jokes. I remember..."

As they chatted, Zhang Zhengqiang let go of the conversation and became less restrained.

Although Gan Yuan was a little dissatisfied with him for always exposing his old background, the laughter in the car also made him feel a lot happier.

After driving for nearly an hour, we finally saw patches of farmland and a small village in the distance.

Zhang Zhengqiang said with a smile: "We're here! The village is ahead! Look at the building over there where the foundation is being laid. That's Lazi's house."

As Gan Yuan drove closer, even Gan Yuan couldn't help but become nervous.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw my father sitting and chatting with several fellow villagers who were helping.

Gan Yuan shouted from a distance.

"Dad! I'm back!"

Gan Fang turned around and happened to see Gan Yuan driving a car.

"You kid! Why are you back at this time? And you're driving a car."

"Park the car in front of our house and I'll ask your mother to make something to eat!"

After speaking, Gan Yuan hurried back into the house without waiting for a response.

Gan Yuan parked the car and returned to the house with the two girls.

As soon as her mother Zhang Jiadi heard Gan Fang's voice, she hurried out and saw Gan Yuan walking over with two girls.

"Why are you back? It's so hot here!"

"Come inside and sit down, I'll ask your dad to pick a watermelon for you!"

Gan Yuan smiled and said, "I brought two friends to our house to play."

"Stop picking watermelons. We're not tired either. Let's go pick them ourselves!"

Gan Yuan didn't let his mother talk anymore.

"Mom, why are you thinking about repairing the house again? Didn't you just use the 20,000 yuan I gave you last time to repair the house?"

Zhang Jiadi rolled her eyes at him.

"Do you know how to spend money like you?"

"I'm thinking it's time for you to find a wife. We must build the new house, otherwise what can you say about your wife?"

Speaking of this, she glanced at the two girls behind Gan Yuan, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

Gan Yuan quickly said: "Don't think blindly, they are both my friends! They came to our house to play!"

Seeing that his mother's eyes were still shining, Gan Yuan quickly continued: "Qingqing, Yiyuan, take out the gifts you brought first. After a while, I will take you to pick melons!"

Su Qingqing and Dong Yiyuan couldn't stand Zhang Jiadi's look for a long time, so they quickly responded, said hello, and ran towards the car.

Gan Yuan couldn't help but complained.
