Chapter 363

Wolong Village is in a ravine, surrounded by mountains. In the past, there was only one dirt road, which barely passed a car.

Now it is different from the past, a road leads to the village, but due to the large number of carts, it has become potholed.

It was obvious that Shi Lei often took this path, avoiding those pits very skillfully, but his speed didn't slow down much.

As he got closer to Wolong Village, Zhang Xiaobai became more silent. He lit a cigarette and rolled the window, looking at the place where he had grown.

The road is wider, the surrounding trees are gone, and there are more small shops, most of which are car repair shops, as well as small restaurants and small shops.

Mining drives the transportation industry, and the transportation industry drives other industries, gradually forming an industrial chain.

Walking to a hillside, Zhang Xiaobai finally saw the outline of Wolong Village. Zhang Xiaobai stretched out his hand out of the window, and did not take a puff until the cigarette burned out slowly.

Wolong Village has undergone tremendous changes.

Three years ago, there were only two brick and tile houses in the village, one was the village head Liu Zhong's house, and the other was Shi Lei's house.

Looking at it now, the village is full of brightly painted brick houses. The enviable big new houses in the past have become so ordinary that they can no longer be ordinary, and there are actually several small buildings standing upright.

Zhang Xiaobai watched intently, sighing and sighing constantly in his mouth.

Shi Lei said: "Xiaobai, our village is rich, people have money to live a good life, a good life that they never dreamed of before!"

Wolong Village, which has not changed much for decades, has changed its appearance in the past few years.

In the past, it was just a TV set, but now it is a computer; before, only the rich could ride a motorcycle, but now the rich drive all four-wheeled vehicles; Post it in the town, and now it can be done with a phone call.

This is the advancement of science and technology, and this is the change of the times, but these changes will not happen in Wolong Village without money.

So, this is the change from having no money to having money.

Zhang Xiaobai asked, "Where are we going?"

Shi Lei smiled slightly, but didn't answer, stepped on the gas pedal a few times and walked out of the courtyard.

Zhang Xiaobai is familiar with this location, but not the building in front of him.

This is Shi Lei's house, the original brick house has been turned into a two-story building.

Two people walked out of the house, Shi Lei's father and a young man.

Zhang Xiaobai got out of the car, called uncle affectionately, then looked at the young man, and called big brother.

The young man's name is Shi Chuan, Shi Lei's brother.

Shi Youfu patted Zhang Xiaobai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Good guy, he's taller than me!"

Shi Chuan said: "Xiaobai, welcome home!"

Of the people behind, only Cheng Jianhui, Zhao Tianhao and Niu Er entered the yard, and the rest drove away.

The food has been prepared long ago. I thought it was just breakfast, but only after I saw it, I realized that the richness cannot be richer.

If there is food, there must be wine. How can an old friend reunite without drinking?

But Zhang Xiaobai apologized and said: "I won't drink this meal, I will go to the grave later!"

There is no one at home, only a few graves.

Everyone didn't say anything more.

After eating, Zhang Xiaobai washed his face and hands, changed into brand new clothes and put on cloth shoes sewn by his grandmother, walked out of Shi Lei's house, followed by his brothers.

His former home was halfway up the west mountain, and his grave was in a small forest in the east of the village.

Walking through the village, there are no women knitting sweaters or men watching with cigarettes and pots in their mouths.

They are all busy, busy making money, how can they have the time to watch other people's fun.

However, I still met many villagers. They just hesitated for a while, and then recognized Zhang Xiaobai.

It was only then that people remembered that there was such a person in Wolong Village. He was a former mourner and also a great college student.

Meeting each other is just a small talk, Zhang Xiaobai said hello with a smile on his face, and people responded politely.

After walking through the village and the field ridges, a bluestone path appeared, with pines and cypresses on both sides of the path, and the woods at the end of the path.

It is no longer the poplar grove, but a pine and cypress tree, surrounded by three grave mounds, nothing has changed, except that there is no weed.

Three graves, mother, grandfather, grandfather.

Putting fruit snacks in front of his mother's grave, Zhang Xiaobai knelt down slowly, and all the brothers behind him knelt behind him.

Pointing paper money, Zhang Xiaobai's eyes were blurred with tears, "Mom! The unfilial son sees you coming!"

For the first time in three years, Zhang Xiaobai choked with sobs.

Kneeling in front of the second grave, Zhang Xiaobai poured a jug of wine in addition to snacks and fruits, "Grandpa, this is Moutai, from now on Xiaobai will honor you with good wine every year!"

Then came to the third grave, Zhang Xiaobai knelt down slowly, tears in his eyes.

I haven't met my mother, so I can't say how deep the relationship is. I thought about it, but I didn't think about it that way. The only impression I had was the old things my grandma said.

When he was young, his grandfather died because of collecting herbs. Zhang Xiaobai had an impression, but not very deeply. He only remembered that his grandfather was an old man who liked to drink and sing Qin opera after drinking.

As for grandma, Zhang Xiaobai is the closest person.

He buried the old man himself.

Putting fruit snacks on the table, Zhang Xiaobai lit a cigarette and put it in front of the grave. With tears all over his face, he grinned and said, "Grandma, you are soft, have you ever smoked it? There are dozens of boxes, how many tobacco leaves can you buy?" Already? Please try it out!"

"Grandma, I still haven't graduated from college! But I know you won't be disappointed. Since I was a child, you taught me to be an indomitable man. My head can bleed and my spine can't be bent. Xiaobai has always listened to you!"

"Although I haven't graduated yet, I've finished all my university knowledge. Now I'm working as a regional manager in Yuanda Group. Yuanda Group is a well-known company in the country. The job of a regional manager is not low! Grandma, Xiaobai didn't embarrass you , Xiaobai is very proud!"

Zhang Xiaobai twitched his body, his voice became lower and lower, and finally he said something vaguely.

"Grandma, Xiaobai really misses you very much!"

Shi Lei behind him cried out, Cheng Jianhui's tears rolled in his eyes, Zhao Tianhao looked up to the sky and sighed, Niu Er couldn't bear to look at Zhang Xiaobai.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaobai kowtowed three times on the ground, then stood up.

On the way back, Zhang Xiaobai stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said, "Brother Hao, Brother Hui, Shi Shi, good brothers in this life, I, Zhang Xiaobai, will always remember them in my heart!"

The three brothers built that road, the three pine trees planted by the three brothers, and the three brothers removed the weeds on the grave.

Shi Lei said: "Xiaobai, this is our grandma! What are you talking about?"

Cheng Jianhui said: "That's right, this is all my brother's job!"

Zhao Tianhao said displeasedly: "Xiaobai, it's really far-fetched to say this!"

Zhang Xiaobai laughed and said, "I won't talk about it anymore!"

What is an internal matter? Zhang Xiaobai never felt that this was what the two elder brothers should take for granted, except to be grateful or grateful.

Zhao Tianhao winked and said, "Xiaobai, if you really want to repay me, you might as well come to work in the company!"

Zhang Xiaobai curled his lips, turned his head and continued to walk forward, "Brother Hao, I didn't say anything!"

A luxury car drove over suddenly, slowed down slightly when passing by, and then sped past.

Inside the car, Liu Zhi frowned tightly, "This mourner is back!"
