Luoqiu's hometown was not a place that could be reached by plane. When he was very young, he followed his parents back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. They took the bus from the airport, and then the minibus in the town.
But now the high-speed railway had been built here, but the minibus between the town and the town was still there.
They set off in the early morning. When they got off the bus, it was already four o 'clock in the afternoon. Although buying directly from the club could save them from the fatigue of the journey, Boss Luo still went there in the normal way.
It was his cousin who came to pick up Luoqiu at the town's bus station. Because they had been living separately and rarely visited each other, Luoqiu had little impression of this cousin. He remembered that he should be born three years earlier than him, and his name was Luo Zheng.
His uncle also had an eldest daughter, who should be about 35 years old.
"Oh, speaking of which, we really haven't seen each other for several years! I remember the last time I saw you was three years ago … four years ago? At that time, you were not as tall as my shoulder. Now you are so big. Are you in college? "
Luo Zheng was a capable young man who had some small wholesale business. The minibus that picked up Luoqiu this time was the tool he usually used to transport goods.
He was quite enthusiastic, perhaps because they were both young people.
"A lot has changed here." Luoqiu looked at the road outside. Luo Zheng's speed was almost the same as Ren Ziling's. The wind that came in always smelled of soil and fertilizer.
"The country has developed here." Luo Zheng smiled, which was a smile of satisfaction with his current life.
He was also one of the beneficiaries of the country's development.
"By the way, do you want to eat something? I have some spicy sticks, do you want to eat? "Luo Zheng showed his big yellow teeth and became more enthusiastic.
"I just got off the bus. I don't want to eat now." Luoqiu shook his head.
Luo Zheng was stunned, and then said, "Luoqiu, are you carsick? Do you want to take a break first? There's a small shop in front. I'll get you a bottle of water. Wait for me! "
With that said, Luo Zheng stopped the van and hurriedly ran into the small shop on the roadside. After a while, he came back with a box of mineral water.
Luoqiu had no choice but to help open the van door.
"Wait, there are three more boxes."
"You bought so many at once?" Luoqiu asked curiously.
Luo Zheng chuckled and said, "It's a discount. Since it's cheap, I bought more. It's also convenient to leave it for the workers to drink. I'll save as much as I can. Just wait, it'll be done soon! "
"Let me help you."
"No need, no need. It's nothing." Luo Zheng was still smiling, looking a little silly. His curved eyes looked like the eyes of a guppy looking up from a clear river. "Students are not used to this kind of rough work."
"I'm not that weak." Luoqiu only smiled.
However, he was still polite … Regardless of whether it was Luo Zheng or him, he was still polite. This was probably how it felt when a distant relative returned.
However, Boss Luo liked Luo Zheng's guppy-like eyes.
After setting off again, Luo Zheng began to talk about some daily topics. Luoqiu had some general impression of the people in his hometown.
"This isn't the way to the hospital, right?" Luoqiu looked at the road signs on the road and asked curiously.
Luo Zheng sighed and said, "The old lady didn't want to stay in the hospital. She said it was expensive. She argued and went home. In fact, it's really not that difficult. The policy has been passed. There's already public medical care. But she didn't believe it. She argued and had no choice but to come back … Wait, I need to answer the phone. "
Luoqiu nodded.
"… Brother-in-law, I need to pick someone up. This … Well, you wait, I'll take a detour." Luo Zheng looked at Luoqiu after hanging up the phone, "Brother, I'll take a detour."
"Who's the brother-in-law you just mentioned?" Luoqiu suddenly asked.
"It's my sister's husband. Oh, it's normal that you don't remember because they divorced long ago … "Luo Zheng said casually," … Right, if you are tired, you can sleep for a while. There are pillows in the back seat. It's very comfortable! "
"Well, I'll take a break."
…
Luoqiu closed his eyes in the back seat. After a while, Luo Zheng's car stopped on the side of the road. Luo Zheng glanced at Luoqiu from the rearview mirror. He didn't open his eyes, so he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
There was a man in his thirties waiting here on the side of the road, carrying a lot of things in his hands.
"Luo Zheng!" The man saw Luo Zheng get out of the car and called out.
However, Luo Zheng quickly walked over and pulled the man away. The man glanced at the van thoughtfully and asked, "Is there someone in the van?"
"There's a guest. He fell asleep. It's not good to wake him up." Luo Zheng nodded, "Why don't you stop buying things? I know your environment. Don't waste the money. Keep some for yourself. "
"It's okay. It's just some nutrition. It's for the elderly. Just accept it." The man tried hard, "Zheng, just say it's from your friend."
"Ai, brother-in-law, I really don't want it. How much have you brought these days? I can't finish it."
"The things … I'll leave the things here. I have to work. I'll go first! "The man quickly put the things on the road and ran away.
"Sister …" Luo Zheng watched the man go away and finally shook his head. He looked at the pile of things on the ground and helplessly carried them to the car.
But when he opened the door, he saw that Luoqiu had woken up. Luo Zheng was stunned and smiled awkwardly. He lowered his head and stuffed the things into the back seat.
On the way home, Luo Zheng talked about the man.
The man's name was Wei Taisetsu. He was a troublemaker. When he was young, he didn't learn good things. He mixed with a group of people and lived a muddle-headed life.
"How do I put it? I don't know why my sister fell in love with Taisetsu." Luo Zheng shook his head, "When they were together, there was a big fight at home. She thought that after getting married, she would be more mature. But in the end, troublesome things happened again and again. "
"Troublesome?"
"Well …" Luo Zheng shook his head, "I'll tell you directly. My ex-brother-in-law is a regular in prison. Over the years, he had been in prison five times. Prison was like home to him. He just got out the year before last. I heard that he committed some crime recently and was locked up for a few days. Do you understand now? "
Boss Luo nodded.
Luo Zheng was still driving, "Actually, it's good to get divorced early. Otherwise, my sister will probably have to live a hard life."
"How is my cousin now?"
"Oh, she remarried." Luo Zheng chuckled, "Her current husband is a junior high school teacher. He's very nice. Oh, by the way, you should be able to meet him in a few days. I'll introduce you then. "
"Let's go back and see Grandma first." Luoqiu whispered, "I have time later. I have to go back to the old house to tidy it up. I'll stay there for a few days."
"How many years has that house been empty?" Luo Zheng shook his head and said, "How long will it take you to tidy it up? Why don't you stay at my place tonight? Your brother built a new house a few years ago. There's a place for you to live. "
Luoqiu said, "I can't just come back and ignore my old house."
"You're right. Okay then, I won't force you. "
Luo Zheng was still smiling, "Go home, go home. The old lady will be happy to see you. You don't know, but she's been talking about the past more and more recently. Something about when she was young … "
…
…
A lot of capital began to pour into the town. The rapid development was not in harmony with the town's ability to bear. However, it was undeniable that the capital had brought a lot of business opportunities to the town. Naturally, there were more jobs.
For example, there was clearly a lot of demand for construction workers.
Wei Taisetsu climbed over the wall and tied his jacket to his body. He put on a safety hat and hurriedly picked up two buckets of water.
"Wei Taisetsu!"
Someone suddenly shouted behind Wei Taisetsu. It was one of the foremen of the construction site.
"Foreman, what's the matter?" Wei Taisetsu turned around and put down the buckets in his hands.
The foreman said angrily, "Wei Taisetsu, do you still want to work or not? Where did you die just now? "
Wei Taisetsu said, "My stomach wasn't feeling well. I went to relieve myself."
The foreman sneered, "Relieve yourself? I think you're slacking off. Wei Taisetsu, someone saw you sneaking out! I also clearly saw you climb over the wall. You actually dare to lie to me? You've always been so dishonest, haven't you? You only know how to talk nonsense, right? "
Wei Taisetsu panicked, "Foreman, I'm sorry. I had an emergency here. Really! I promise I won't do it again. "
The foreman shook his head and pointed with his finger, "Wei Taisetsu, I'm telling you. I know what you are. If not for the lack of manpower here, I would rather move bricks myself than hire a casual worker like you! Listen up. Know your place. Don't do anything sneaky. Otherwise, don't expect anyone to hire you in the nearby construction sites! You're slacking off today. Eighty points deducted! "
"Foreman, I, I just went out for a while …"
"Do you still want to work here?"
"Yes, yes … Foreman." Wei Taisetsu nodded, "I know. I won't do it again. I won't."
"Get to work!" the foreman shouted.
Wei Taisetsu silently picked up the buckets and turned to leave.
