My Cold and Beautiful Wife - Chapter 642
[Chapter 0642 Clan]
0642
Two and a half hours later, the car drove from the main road into a rural section with rolling hills and some plantations.
A meandering river flows through, and most of the villages along the river are farmhouses and farmers who make a living by picking tea.
As the hills turned into mountains, the road became more and more tortuous, and gradually there were several sections of winding roads.
I thought I could get there in three hours, but it took nearly four hours to get there.
This is a village surrounded by mountains on three sides. The village looks very big, with a checkerboard pattern and houses are located in a neat way.
A small river at the entrance of the village flows to the terraced fields in the distance, which has a feeling of a paradise.
But compared to some of the villages passing by on the road, it is obviously more backward, and it seems that there is not much tourism. Except for a street in the middle, there are some shops for daily necessities and agricultural products, and there are only some village shops.
Most of the roads in the village are only big enough for one car to drive through. Su Qingxue’s Mercedes-Benz is particularly eye-catching in such a place. After all, the farmers here basically still use motorcycles as means of transportation, and there are also cars and some vans and small trucks.
“Zhou’s Village?” Su Qingxue was quite surprised when she saw a stone tablet at the entrance of the village: “Grandpa, are all people with the surname Zhou in this village?”
“Yes, they are all passed down by an old ancestor, and they are all surnamed Zhou. It’s a bit out of the way here. There are two minibuses every day at noon and at night, so don’t dislike it,” Zhou Xinjiang said with a smile.
“How could it be, grandpa, I think the scenery here is very beautiful, there are few places that are not polluted like this, and no one comes here for tourism. If it is really developed, with the conditions here, I think it will definitely become a popular tourism. Scenic Spot”, Su Qingxue was eager to try.
“Oh, Xiaoxue, don’t say this in the village, it can’t be said,” Zhou Xinjiang hurriedly advised.
After hearing this, even Ye Fan, who was driving, was puzzled and turned around and said, “Grandpa, is there something wrong with what my wife said?”
Su Qingxue was also surprised, “Is it bad to do tourism? The villagers here don’t want to get rich?”
Zhou Xinjiang sighed and pointed to the front, “Go to my house first, it’s too late, it’s too late, I I’ll make some dishes for you, sit down and talk slowly.”
The car arrived at the door of an old two-story house. The car could drive through the door, and there was a grain drying yard inside.
At this moment, the moon is on the branches, and the evening breeze is gentle.
As soon as I got out of the car, a dim light bulb was turned on at the door. A peasant woman in her 60s or 70s carrying a baby came over curiously from a house next door: “Brother Xinjiang, is there a guest at home?”
Zhou Xinjiang She quickly introduced with a smile, “Ami, this is Wenli’s daughter, Xiaoxue, and my grandson-in-law Ye Fan! They sent me back!” When
the peasant woman heard this, she happily said, “Oh, that’s what you said, Xiaoxue, who is now the president of a big company?
Brother Xinjiang, are you finally willing to meet your granddaughter? Congratulations, you can enjoy happiness in the future!
I said, such a beautiful car, it looks like a hundred thousand dollars. Too rich!”
Ye Fan and Su Qingxue looked at each other, and finally realized how backward the village was, even Mercedes-Benz didn’t know each other, and a car costing more than 3 million yuan actually thought it only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tens of thousands felt like an astronomical number…
However, although this peasant woman was envious, she didn’t feel much greed, she just wished Zhou Xinjiang, and after asking, she walked away with a smile.
Zhou Xinjiang said embarrassedly: “Don’t mind, in our village, many older women have never studied, so they have little culture and knowledge
. , your grandmother also said that you don’t need to go to school, and that a woman is virtuous if she has no talent. I think, just a daughter, she will finish high school. Who knows… Your mother has a culture and wants to go outside to see it. I left, but I didn’t come back…”
“Grandpa, it’s alright, I think that grandma is quite simple, so that’s fine, at least carefree,” Su Qingxue said.
“Then are the children here now studying?” Ye Fan asked.
Zhou Xinjiang nodded, “I have basically read it now, so many young people in the village have also gone out to work.”
The three said and walked into the house.
Zhou Xinjiang took off his coat and began to work inside and out. He went to the stove to make a pot of rice before feeding the livestock.
Seeing the stove, Ye Fan took the initiative to help Zhou Xinjiang start the fire.
Zhou Xinjiang thought that Ye Fan would not know and wanted to teach him, but Ye Fan skillfully lit the fire, took the fire shovel, and made the fire prosper.
Su Qingxue also wanted to help, but she could only do some cleaning and chopping. She didn’t know how to fix most of the things in the old kitchen.
With the help of two people, Zhou Xinjiang spent an hour cooking four dishes and one soup.
Because there is no meat, and there is no time to kill chickens and ducks, I can only scramble some eggs and make a bowl of egg and mustard soup. The rest are vegetarian dishes.
“Ye Fan, do you want to drink? I have some rice wine,” Zhou Xinjiang asked enthusiastically.
Ye Fan nodded and wanted to give it a try, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Thank you, thank you. It’s the first time you came here, so I treated you so shabby. You stay tonight. I’ll kill two chickens and ducks tomorrow, go to the market to buy a piece of meat, and have a good meal.” Zhou Xinjiang is very different taste.
“No need for grandpa, we don’t pay attention to this, we have to go back to work tomorrow,” Su Qingxue said.
“Oh… Also, you have such a big company to manage, how can you waste so much time here?” Zhou Xinjiang patted his forehead, “I’m so confused, then let’s eat quickly and send you off after eating.”
Although Su Qingxue really wanted to stay for a few days and accompany the old man, she just had something to deal with, so she could only say, “Grandpa, we can leave after having breakfast tomorrow.”
Hearing that the two were willing to stay for one night, Zhou Xinjiang nodded happily again, “Okay, I’ll spread the egg cake for you tomorrow morning.”
After pouring wine and eating vegetables, Ye Fan and Su Qingxue naturally asked about the village’s tourism development.
As a businessman, Su Qingxue still really wanted to do something for her mother’s hometown. If she could make this place a wealthy village, it would be a good thing.
“Grandpa, why can’t you mention tourism development?” Su Qingxue asked.
Zhou Xinjiang sighed, got up, went to close the door and window, sat down, and said in a low voice, “You are all your own, Ye Fan is also the grandson-in-law of our Zhou family, so I will tell you the truth. It
‘s not that people in our village don’t want to get rich, it’s just that our clan elders and clan chiefs do not allow outside developers to come in.
Moreover, the government does not dare to care about our village’s affairs. All decisions about the village must be approved by the clan elders. That’s fine.”
“Clan elder? Clan chief?” Su Qingxue was stunned, “What age is it, why is it still called such a name?”
