Chapter 456 Returning to Hometown
January 18, 2009.
Wang Shu returned to China.
January 25th is New Year’s Eve and January 26th is Spring Festival.
The Lunar New Year is only a week away.
After landing in the capital, Wang Shu returned to his villa to tidy up, then took a plane to Jiangcheng, then rented a car and drove back to his hometown of Anlu.
He could have brought the driver back to help him rent a car and drive, or he could have chartered a car to take him home.
In the end, he chose to rent a car and drive it himself.
The drive from Jiangcheng to Anlu takes about two hours, and it takes more than half an hour to get from the county seat to Wang Shu’s rural hometown.
Since the New Year is approaching, the traffic conditions on the road are complicated. Wang Shu estimates that it will take more than three hours to drive to his hometown.
After a long journey, we finally returned to the village before dark.
Wang Shu had a phone call with his family before. The second elder had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to come back for dinner.
"Yufang, there is a car driving towards us from the other side of the pond. Is Shuzi back?"
Wang Shu's father, Wang He, stood at the gate of the courtyard from time to time and said Looking at the large pond not far away, a dirt road along the pond is the only way to the Wanzi.
Wang He saw a car driving towards Wanzi in the dark from a distance, and couldn't help but turn around and shout.
Wang Shu's mother Tian Yufang came out after hearing this. When she saw that there was really a car driving this way, she couldn't help but nodded and said, "Maybe it's true."
The two elders have a basis for making this judgment. of.
Wang Shu’s hometown has implemented the village-to-village policy in the past two years, and the surrounding main roads have basically been built with cement roads.
It’s just that the Wanzi of Wang Shu’s hometown is the boundary of the township. Behind this Wanzi is the Wanzi of another township, and it is also a market.
Because it is "not a system", the cement road was only built to the first two bays of Wang Shu's hometown Wanzi and then broke off
Therefore, few vehicles use this road.
It’s not that Wanzi, Wang Shu’s hometown, doesn’t have the money to build a road, it’s that the market Wanzi in the neighboring town doesn’t have the money to build the road leading to Wang Shu’s hometown.
Because for this market Wanzi, the main road there has been built, and the road leading to Wang Shu's hometown Wanzi is just a branch road.
Not only is there no need to repair it, the people in Market Bay are not willing to pay for it.
As long as they don't repair it, this road will eventually be unreachable and they won't repair it at all.
Road construction in rural areas does not happen for free. Each household pays per head.
If you don’t pay, it won’t be repaired.
The second elder stood at the door and kept watching. When he saw the car driving towards his door, he immediately said loudly: "The tree is really back."
While speaking, they smiled in unison.
Wang Shu was sitting in the room, and the two elders had already prepared a large table of dishes.
It's just that he and his parents are not the only ones in Wang Shu's family at this moment, there are also many adults and children.
Wanzi, Wang Shu’s hometown, is a place where people live together. When he drove back from the road across the pond, not only his parents saw it, but also many people in Wanzi saw it.
Even though it was already dark, people in Wanzi did not go to bed so early, so they happened to see it.
Then come and visit us.
After all, he is a big director and star, and rarely goes home, so people from Wanzi came to join in the fun.
Fortunately, Wang Shu bought a lot of cigarettes, fruits, candies and other items before he came back, just to prepare for this occasion.
With so many people coming to visit, it was impossible for Wang Shu’s family to just eat at home. Everyone else sat around and watched, and then he politely took the people who came to visit to have something to eat and drink.
The people who came to visit were quite good at this kind of food. In addition, most of them had already had dinner, and they were just here to join in the fun, not just to have a meal, so they all declined. However, this matter depends on etiquette.
Even if they declined politely, as the head of the Wang Shu family, they could not eat by themselves and let others watch, so they forced themselves to sit down.
It doesn't matter if you have eaten, just sit down and have a drink. As the main family, Wang Shu's family doesn't neglect the guests who come to visit.
After all, it’s the New Year’s Day, so we really can’t let the guests who come to visit watch us eat.
Of course, if too many people come and the seats are full, there is nothing you can do but pour a glass of wine.
Wang Shu is the protagonist of this "party", and most of the topics are about him.
"Shuzi, are you planning to celebrate the New Year at home this time, or what?" an elder asked.
When the people around heard this, they all looked at Wang Shu, waiting for his answer.
The Spring Festival in rural areas in 2009 was not as deserted as it had been a few years later.
Now is a non-mainstream era. During the Chinese New Year, the village is still very lively.
People in Wanzi also thought that it would be even more lively if Wang Shu could stay in his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Relatives and friends come to visit us after the Spring Festival, and they can also take a look at Wang Shu, a big star and director.
Especially the young ones, who are now planning to bring little sisters from other villages to join in the fun.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "I won't be celebrating the New Year in my hometown. When I come back this time, I plan to take my parents to the capital to live for a while."
As soon as these words came out, there was a bit of a chill.
A big star and director finally appeared in Wanzi, and they expected Wang Shu to liven up his life as a panda in his hometown during the New Year.
Wouldn’t it be even less lively if this family went to the capital?
The young people were also secretly upset. When they saw Wang Shu return to his hometown, they planned to use this as a gimmick to attract little sisters from all over the country to come and play, and then seek opportunities to hook up with him.
Wang Shu turned around and wanted to take his family to the capital. Wouldn’t everything be in trouble?
The young people were very resentful. They were all from the same place, and Wang Shu didn't think about their lower bodies at all.
Wang Shu’s mother, Tian Yufang, understands the world and immediately spoke up to smooth things over. After a few words, the atmosphere became joyful again.
As they chatted, people in Wanzi also knew that Wang Shu would take Wang Yang and Tian Yufang to the capital tomorrow, so they did not stay long and left one after another when the time was almost up.
Wang Shu's family is also very particular. Before leaving, every adult male is given a cigarette, while the female and children are given melons and fruits.
As for distributing money, no.
Although we are all in the same bay, this hole cannot be opened.
If people in Wanzi have a big problem and need emergency help, then he will try his best to help.
But if you send money directly, there will be endless troubles.
Even if the village complains about being stingy, no money can be given.
Early the next morning, Wang Shu’s parents, Wang Yang and Tian Yufang, got up and packed up, then got into the car rented by Wang Shu and headed for the capital.
Wang Shu has told his elders many times about this matter, and it is not a sudden trip.
For example, they had already prepared the items that the two elders needed, and they just simply packed them away when they got up in the morning.
Tian Yufang sat in the car, looking back at the bay that was getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, everyone came to visit last night, otherwise such a large table of food would have been wasted."
Wang Yang heard this and answered: "It is indeed fortunate that so many people came and ate all the food, otherwise it would be a waste."
