Chapter 98 Return to Daxia! You agreed to study abroad, and you brought your daughter-in-law back?
The next morning.
On the mountain road outside a poor village in the northwest of Daxia Province, which is biased towards the south, a beeping tractor was pulling two people and some luggage on the haystack behind the vehicle.
After almost a whole day of traveling, the two finally arrived at their destination.
"We actually still use this kind of transportation to enter this mountain?"
Lucy was leaning on Lu Ze's shoulder, her originally sluggish face glowed with energy, and she looked extremely surprised: "Lu Ze, have you always taken this ride to school before?"
The two of them transferred in Yanjing to the capital of Northwest Province, and then took a long-distance bus for five or six hours to arrive at a county town.
Lucy thought that this was after arriving at Lu Ze's hometown.
Then she was pulled onto a passenger shuttle bus, which was crowded with various elderly people going to the market as well as some workers and students who needed to rush back to the countryside.
After finally grabbing a seat, when Lu Ze protected her with his arms, Lucy felt that no matter how bad the situation was, she just needed to take the bus to a rural place.
Unexpectedly, she ended up riding this old-fashioned tractor into the mountains?
This is a fantastic adventure, and this experience alone makes Lucy feel that the trip is worthwhile.
But, isn’t this place too remote?
Hear this.
Lu Ze smiled: "How is that possible? This is because it is rare for me to come back so that I can enjoy the VIP treatment in our village."
"In the past, I could only walk to school step by step using my feet."
As the only person in Lujia Village who can study abroad, he can also enjoy the treatment of the village personally sending a tractor to pick him up
On weekdays, ordinary villagers do not have such good benefits and can only walk out of the mountains on their own legs.
However, Lu Ze looked at the cement road in front of him: "At least the tractor can enter and exit without any problem."
This road must have been built in the past year. He remembered that before he went to study abroad, the main road in the village was still a mud road filled with loess.
If the road is dry on a sunny day, it will be fine, but if it rains, snows, etc., even tractors will not be able to move, so donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages will have to carry people.
With this one-way cement road, the daily commuting of villagers will not be so difficult.
This should be the 'village-to-village' policy implemented by Daxia. However, in the previous life, the road in Lujiacun was only completed in about 11 years, but now it has been advanced by more than two years.
Lu Ze guessed: 'Is it because of my repeated large-scale 'aid' to the Northwest Province that the highway was built ahead of schedule? ’
The sound of the tractor lasted for more than 20 minutes, passing through the mountains and fields.
Finally, we stopped in front of a village.
"Uncle, this is the gift I brought you."
Lu Ze handed over a beautifully wrapped gift box, and then said: "And I really trouble you to take me into the village."
This is the best tobacco he bought in the county town before. After all, for farmers in the mountainous areas of northwest province, smoking cigarettes is too boring and too expensive. They always like to smoke strong and cheap hand-rolled cigarettes.
His uncle from the same village only smoked cigarettes on weekdays, and Lu Ze did what he wanted.
"Look at you, you buy these things every time you come back." A trace of anger flashed across the old man's weathered face: "Don't bring them with you next time."
After saying that, he put the box of tobacco in his hand and the old man couldn't help but smacking his lips secretly.
This box cost three to four hundred yuan, how could he be willing to smoke it? I usually only smoke tobacco that costs a few dollars a pound.
Beside the village entrance.
"Lu Ze, is this your hometown?"
Lucy looked at the scenery around her, it was beyond her imagination.
The mountains and plains are covered with deserted loess. Even in this spring and summer, there is very little greenery.
Did Lu Ze come from a place like this? Can people really live on this barren land? What kind of perseverance is needed to survive here for generations?
"Yes, this is where I have lived since I was a child."
Looking at the village in front of him, Lu Ze's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
If you include his past life, he has not been back to his hometown for many years, and the blur in his memory became clear again at this moment.
And that side.
Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, a group of middle-aged aunts were sitting around, holding some melon seeds or snacks in their hands.
They seemed to be discussing something, like sparrows chattering.
The content contained in it ranged from heaven to earth, from the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village to the situation of bachelors outside the village, there was nothing that they did not talk about.
Even the dogs passing by were told something like, "How many litters has it had?" "Who raised this?" "I see it usually hangs out with other dogs," and so on.
After all, for the vast majority of rural women, after doing farm work and housework, there seems to be no other way to relieve loneliness except for all kinds of gossip.
That's when.
An aunt glanced at the entrance of the village, as if she had discovered something strange.
She pointed in the direction where Lu Ze was standing: "Look, isn't that the guy from Lu Jianguo?"
Everyone immediately turned their heads and turned to this topic.
"Didn't you say that he went abroad to study? Why did he come back suddenly?"
"Yes, I think you are going to a famous university over there to study for a master's degree, right? Last year the village chief shouted from the loudspeaker for three days in a row."
"It must be a holiday, right? I see he has luggage with him."
"It's only June, and Yingjiang's school is on vacation so early? Foreign students really don't learn well at all."
suddenly.
Lucy's figure also followed Lu Ze, dragging her luggage, and appeared in their field of vision, which increased the firepower in the mouths of several aunts.
"That kid Lu Ze, why did he bring back a woman?"
"She's so beautiful. This girl is so handsome. She's much prettier than the stars on TV."
"Didn't he study abroad? Didn't he bring all the girls into the village?"
"Why are you studying abroad? I think the girl is pregnant and can't hide it, so she brought her home to recognize her!"
"Are you married and having children outside? Isn't Lao Lu going to be a grandfather?"
A group of women chatting and discussing directly characterized the matter as. [Lu Ze married his wife outside under the pretext of studying abroad. Because she was pregnant, the woman's family members came after her, so she had no choice but to return to her hometown. 】
And the speed of the evolution of the situation is becoming more and more outrageous.
They obviously didn't notice that the expressions on the faces of the two people who had been standing behind them changed from confusion to shock.
"What? Is there such a thing?"
A middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Lu Ze's eyes widened in disbelief.
When my son went abroad, why did he bring his daughter-in-law back? Even the grandson is coming out?
Is this the surprise he said he wanted to give him on the phone last week?
This wasn't a surprise, it was almost a shock.
"What are you guessing here? Why don't you hurry up and pick up your son?" A person next to him patted Lu Jianguo's shoulder hard and said quietly.
This middle-aged woman is in her forties. Although she has been exposed to wind and sun, it can still be vaguely seen from the traces of time that she must have been very delicate when she was young.
It was Lu Ze's mother, Lin Xiaqin.
Father Lu and Mother Lu walked quickly to the entrance of the village. They couldn't help but feel a little distressed when they looked at the dusty Lu Ze.
They spent this year studying abroad, thousands of miles away in a foreign country, how could they not be frightened?
However, after taking over the luggage.
Looking at the ridiculously beautiful girl next to his son, she was looking at him with curious eyes.
At this time.
Lu Jianguo quickly pulled Lu Ze over: "Tell me honestly, what's going on with this girl? Is she really your wife?"
"If someone else is really pregnant, you have to be responsible for their girl." Lin Xiaqin, who was next to her, helped: "You can't forget your duty as a human being just because you study abroad."
"We, the old Lu family, have never produced a 'Chen Shimei' for a hundred years."
"Mom, Dad, what are you thinking about?" Lu Ze's face was filled with black lines.
Why is Lucy pregnant? With her appetite, if she were pregnant, wouldn't she be able to perform "three mouths and one roast suckling pig"?
"This is a friend I met while studying abroad in Yingjiang. She was very curious about our Northwest Province, so she came with me to travel for two weeks."
Lu Ze introduced, and also asked Lucy to say hello to Lu's father and mother.
"The mud howls." Lucy raised a bright smile: "My name is Lucy, Su Lu's friend, please excuse me and take care of me."
Listening to her weird accent, every Chinese character seems to fall into the wrong tone.
Father Lu and Mother Lu:? ? ?
Why does her accent sound like a foreigner?
The aunts at the entrance of the village were all shocked: "Oh my goodness, Lu Ze is a very capable guy. Why are you bringing back a foreign wife?"
Tens of minutes later.
In Lu Ze's house, there are several farmyards built with blue bricks and stone tiles.
"Your name is Lucy, right?" Mother Lu was asking kindly over there.
She looked at Lucy with still strong surprise and curiosity.
Who can compare to the fact that a girl who looks so similar, even her hair and eyes are black, is actually a native of Yingjiang?
Moreover, she is so beautiful, and her body looks like she is in good health.
‘You have to urge that boy Aze to stop doing anything serious. ’ Mother Lu thought to herself.
Not your girlfriend now? She thinks it can be the case in the future.
heard this question.
"Yes, vegetarian." Lucy nodded as if she was pounding garlic.
She didn't understand it, so she could only roughly guess that Lu Ze's mother was calling her name.
Those beautiful eyes looked left and right at the small room.
It seemed like every place here was a very new experience for her.
Looking at the conversation between the two, Lu Ze helplessly shook his head.
He stood at the door and stared at the scenery in the distance, and sighed: "The environment here in my hometown has changed a lot. I think even the roads have been opened."
The hometown he remembered seemed to have changed a lot in this life.
"More than that."
Lu Jianguo put his luggage in the house and explained: "It is said that in the future, roads will be built to the door of every household, and even the village will be paved with a main road."
"The remote villages in the back mountains will also build a cement road."
"Also, an engineering team came last month."
"It is said that a primary school will be built in the village, and even a few teachers have been arranged to serve as a collective public school for several surrounding villages."
"Even the students in the village have eggs and milk to eat every day. What they eat every day is called a good thing."
The series of major events that have happened in the past two months can be said to be the first time this happened in the remote mountainous area of Lujiacun in decades.
Often the last news spreads throughout the northwest mountainous area, and then the next news comes again.
"Who is this 'enthusiastic citizen' you said? Who is this kind person who is helping us mountain people?"
Lu Jianguo, an old farmer who had never read any books, was full of doubts in his words.
After all, in these plans, donations were made in the name of "enthusiastic citizens". He thought this was a good deed done by some kind person to their "Lujia Village".
"Dad, this should be just a name."
Even though Lu Ze said this, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
All of what he did was not in vain, which is worth gratifying.
But this is far from enough. Daxia's economic scale has not expanded much, and even Lujiacun is not enough to truly become wealthy.
‘It seems that the smartphone technology should be submitted to Daxia. ’ Lu Ze secretly said.
The scale of this future industry is measured in trillions of US dollars, and it is called the most prosperous industry in the world. Daxia should take advantage of the richest piece of meat in advance.
