Chapter 76 The Legend of the Mountain God
Wang Guifen naturally doesn’t know what happened here in Xu Bo’an.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Bigfoot, Wang Guifen, who was homesick, walked quickly for a while and rushed to the home where she grew up.
Wang Guifen’s natal family is also an ordinary earth-stone cave dwelling. Grass and mud are then mixed to make mud blocks, which are stacked up to surround a courtyard wall, which is a local characteristic farmyard.
In order to save trouble, some people cut wood and build fences to build yards, but the privacy is relatively poor.
Happily, he pushed open the wooden door of his home. As soon as he entered the yard, Wang Guifen saw his brother who was chopping firewood putting down his ax and limping over to greet him.
My younger brother Wang Shun broke his leg when he was a child and suffered from lameness. Later, he finally arranged to get married.
Not only was the other party in good health, he was also a good hand in the crop fields. Later, he and Wang Guifen and his wife learned the bamboo craftsmanship, and the stall business in the market town was also well managed.
So Wang Guifen's family members are naturally a little short of breath in front of this daughter-in-law.
“Sister, you are back!”
The sister who had not seen him for many days came back, and the younger brother was also very happy.
My hand subconsciously reached over, trying to help my sister unload the packages and baskets on her body.
Wang Guifen handed over her things and smiled happily: "Hey, I'm back, Shunzi, everyone in our family is okay."
Wang Shun took his sister's basket At the same time, he said: "Okay, my mother is cooking in Dongyao, and my father and others are still in the market town and have not come back."
While speaking, Wang Shun glanced behind Wang Guifen: "Sister, why are you back? My brother-in-law is not here."
In the past, Wang Guifen usually came back with her husband.
When conditions are good, I can bring more things with my husband and provide some support to my mother's family.
Later, when the conditions got worse, it was good to bring my husband over for a meal.
Generally speaking, the relationship between this family is pretty good, which is already very difficult.
"Your brother-in-law has something to do in the village. I'll come back to see our mother and children." Wang Guifen smiled and shook her arm.
I didn't feel tired all the way. When I saw my brother, I really felt that my arms were a little tired.
Wang Shun glanced into the basket, thinking about the baggage in his hand, and asked curiously: "Hey, sister, what is in this bag? It's so heavy!"
"Oh, those are some refined wheat noodles and rice." Wang Guifen looked on as if nothing had happened and tucks her hair away from her temples.
"What? Wheat noodles? Rice?" Wang Shun's eyes widened when he heard this.
That’s something only the rich in the city can afford!
Wang Guifen nodded: "Well, yes, oh, there is also a little sweetness. But not much, I guess it is only half a pound."
Wang Guifen felt a little bit proud of returning home. Feeling happy, try your best to hide your inner excitement.
"Ah? There are also sweet candies? Where did they come from? Why are you willing to buy such good things!" Wang Shun's eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine how his sister could bring back such expensive and delicate things.
Seeing the shock in his brother's eyes, Wang Guifen became even more satisfied.
Being looked upon favorably by my own family makes me feel happier than even ten compliments from outsiders!
Moreover, Wang Guifen had always relied on her natal family for financial support in the past. Now that she finally had some good things, she naturally wanted to share them with her natal family.
By the way, I can feel proud.
Wang Guifen rolled her eyes at her younger brother: "Look at you, how old you are. What are you making all this fuss about? It's just a little sweet sugar and rice noodles."
"That's ordinary rice noodles." "Are you kidding me?" Wang Shun still didn't dare to accept such a thing.
After all, these are things that ordinary people might not dare to eat during the Chinese New Year.
Wang Guifen lifted up a straw mat covering the basket and said, "Here, you can see for yourself. Why am I joking with you, sister?" She followed the mat that her sister had lifted up. , Wang Shun looked down and saw a jar of crystal white particles lying quietly in the basket.
He couldn't wait to reach in and pinch a few bits, then stuck out his tongue and carefully placed the little bit of sweet candy on the tip of his tongue.
Suddenly, the sweet feeling spread from the tip of the tongue to the whole body, as if there were a group of live elves dancing on his tongue.
This is the taste.
Sweet and refreshing!
“Hey, sister, such a good sweet candy tastes great. It’s not sold in the market town, right? You went to the city to buy it? Why are you willing to spend all this money.”
Wang Guifen's brother reluctantly swallowed the last mouthful of sweet saliva and asked with some distress.
"What city are you going to? This is divided among our village." Wang Guifen said with a proud smile.
Wang Shun was even more surprised: "What? Divided? Who gave it to you? Where did you get all those sweet candies in Kaoshan Village? Didn't they say that the food harvest there was all over?"
Wang Guifen chuckled and said, "Okay, let's stop talking now. I'll help our mother cook. We'll chat while we eat at lunch."
Wang Guifen came home feeling very proud. It is played out in front of every woman who returns to her parents' home from the mountain village.
All the family members were surprised.
How did a mountain village that was so poor that the villagers had to leave their homes and flee their homes turn into a paradise with no worries about food and clothing in a short period of time?
In an instant, the news that these women who had returned to their natal families had returned home in fine clothes spread throughout several surrounding villages.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Soon, the news that the mountain god appeared in the mountain village spread out.
Moreover, this news is becoming more and more evil as it spreads.
At first it was just that the mountain god gave food and drink to the villagers in the mountain village to survive.
Later, it was said that the mountain god grandfather sent down nectar, which brought human flesh and white bones to life, and saved all the people who died of starvation in the mountain village.
Then, the gossip evolved into the story that the mountain god Grandpa felt the hardships of the world and the creatures, condensed his energy into clouds, and dropped heavy rain, saving countless creatures in the entire mountain forest of Yushan Mountain. Now the prey in the forest of Yushan Mountain is very rich. .
......
As the protagonist of the legend, Xu Bo'an still doesn't know about such bizarre and tortuous rumors.
He was sitting in the office in a daze looking at the mountain in his hand, and the landline phone on the desk rang.
Seeing that it was the company's internal call, Xu Bo'an answered it.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Lao Guo from the Wanshan County Project Department Laboratory of the Dongjiang Section of the Jingfeng Expressway. Is it convenient for you now? I have something to report to you!"
Jingfeng Expressway Dongjiang Section Wanshan County Project!
That is one of the more difficult mountain forest projects among the projects under Dongjiang Second Construction.
The project department is located deep in the mountains and old forests. It takes an hour and a half to drive to the nearest town.
The only road is a sidewalk dug out for construction. It is a dirt road dug out of the mountain. The kind that makes your buttocks bump and swell when you sit down in a car.
Xu Boan sighed with emotion. He almost got this project from He Qiang not long ago.
Speaking of which, I almost became colleagues on the same project with Director Guo of the laboratory!
"Lao Guo, tell me, what's the matter!"
A helpless voice came from the other end of the phone, saying: "Mr. Xu, the coarse aggregate on the project is now The delivery is getting more and more exorbitant. The mud content and mud lump content are very high, and some people ignore our test results and sign orders for construction as usual. I have responded many times, but no one cares about it. If this continues , I, the director of the laboratory, should take the blame and resign!"
Hearing this, Xu Boan sneered, and a disgusting face appeared in his heart.
“Okay, I understand. I will solve this matter!”
