Zhou Shao of Rebirth

In the twilight, a black off-road vehicle was driving on the potholed country road. Because it hadn't rained for a long time, mud-yellow dust was thrown up where the wheels ran, covering the black off-road vehicle with a layer of gauze.

Zhou Heng was lying on the back seat of the car with his legs crossed, chewing gum in his mouth, listening to the music very comfortably.

This car was a graduation gift that Lei He gave him yesterday. It is said that he secretly remodeled it for two months. It is absolutely different from when he just bought it.

Although what Zhou Heng wanted more was another gift, but Lei He always had a way to get him carried away at the last moment, and he didn't even remember the counterattack.

Of course, this gift is not bad. There is no man who does not love cars. This kind of aggressive off-road vehicle has always been Zhou Heng's favorite. As soon as he got it, he couldn't wait to take Lei He out.

There is a lot of space in the car, and it is not too crowded for two people to sleep in the car at night, but they have their own tents, and there is no shortage of pillows and quilts, so they don't need to sleep in the car.

This was the fifth day they went out. From Beishi all the way to the north, Zhou Heng didn't look at the map and didn't know where their car went.

The two didn't have a specific destination, so they could drive wherever they wanted, but with the off-road vehicle, the two of them tacitly went to the countryside to see if there was any suitable place to develop their farm.

"Should I find a farmhouse to stay at night? No matter how comfortable a tent is, it's better than sleeping on a high bed."

"Okay, it happens that I also want to eat some decent farm food, and I will get tired of eating your food every day."

Lei He glanced back at him, and said flatly, "That's good, are you ready for the next month?"

"Pfft..." Zhou Heng blew a big bubble, and replied without threat: "Then you just wait to starve to death."

If the two of them don't cook, it will definitely be Lei He who suffers. Whoever made him a big eater, Zhou Heng can just make cup noodles to make up for it. Lei He will never be willing to abuse his stomach, although he often says instant noodles Also delicious.

Lei He saw a village in the distance, and speeded up to drive there. The car had been remodeled by him, so it wouldn't feel too bumpy even on rougher roads.

Zhou Heng also joked before that: Lei He has this technology, if he starts a car company, the products he makes will definitely be higher-end than the world's number one high-end domineering company.

It's a pity that it's better not to show Lei He's skills, Zhou Heng can't wait to cover his whole body tightly so that others won't covet him.

Lei He himself didn't have that idea either. He knew a lot, but he didn't have the idea of ​​benefiting all mankind. He only wanted to benefit his family, Zhou Heng.

As soon as the car drove into the village, the children who were playing around the head of the village chased it curiously.I don't mind following the car's ass to eat exhaust and dust.

Lei He stepped on the brakes, and those children even boldly touched the outer shell of the car. The most common four-wheeled vehicles in small villages in this era are tractors. It is definitely the first time that the whole village has seen such a cool off-road vehicle.

The car door was pushed open, and the surrounding children immediately ran away like frightened birds, and then stared at the tall man who came out of the car.

"He's so tall..."

"Brother, are you Superman?" A boy with a face covered in mud raised his head and asked.

Lei He pointed to his trouser pocket and said, "I don't have briefs to wear outside, how can I be a Superman?"

"That's right, brother, how did you get this big guy here?" The boy asked, pointing at the off-road vehicle.

Zhou Heng was lying on the car window, pointing his finger at the little boy, "Hey, come here, I'll tell you!"

The little boy didn't doubt that he was there, and ran over. Even with his toes on his toes, he couldn't touch the window of the car, so he continued to look up at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng took out a bag of white rabbit toffee from his bag and threw it into his arms, "Take it and share it, what's so good about Superman, and he won't give you candy, how about big brother?"

"Yeah." The little boy sniffed, and ran towards his little friend with the bag of candies in his arms.

Sharp-eyed adults also gathered around, looking at Zhou Heng, Lei He and the big guy at the entrance of the village uneasily.

"Are you...?" An old woman looked at them warily.

Lei He smiled and replied: "Auntie, we are passing by, and we want to stay for one night when it gets dark, but don't worry, we will pay for it."

Lei He had a very righteous face, and he was a little naive when he smiled. The aunt didn't think he looked like a bad guy at all, and the two of them looked like rich people, so it was unlikely that they would covet anything from them.

She waved her hand enthusiastically, "It doesn't matter if you have money or not, but the houses here are all dilapidated and old, I'm afraid you won't be used to living in them."

From the open window, everyone can see the interior of the off-road vehicle. The spacious seat is definitely a hundred times more comfortable than their hard bed.

"No, we don't choose. If you sleep comfortably in the car for a few days, your waist will almost become stiff. The big bed is more comfortable."

"If you don't mind, you can go to my house, but we only have one empty room in our house, I'm afraid you will have to squeeze it."

"It's okay, we're brothers, we've been squeezed together since childhood." Lei He said nonsense, and Zhou Heng gave him a blank stare.

As far as his and Lei He's appearances are concerned, they don't look like brothers no matter what, isn't this clearly deceiving honest people?

Fortunately, the aunt didn't mind, and led the people to her house.

Lei He got down from the car with a big bag, which contained daily necessities and two sets of clothes for him and Zhou Heng. He lived in someone else's house, so he couldn't take things from the space casually, so he specially prepared such a large bag to deceive people's eyes. Bag.

The aunt's house was very close to the entrance of the village. It was a one-story mud house with the layout of a courtyard, but there were only three or four rooms in total, which was incomparable with Zhou's courtyard.

Zhou Heng looked at the carvings on the window lattices, and asked happily: "Auntie, is your house old?"

"Yeah, it's been hundreds of years. It has been passed down for several generations. If you live in it for a few more years, it won't be able to live with people."

Zhou Heng looked at the disfigured wall that had fallen off, and nodded: "This house will almost become a dilapidated building if it is not repaired."

"Anyway, it's just me and my wife living there, so we don't waste money on repairs."

Zhou Heng saw that there was no worry in her brows, she didn't look like a poor childless woman, and asked, "There are only two people in your family?"

"My daughter got married, and my son built a new house in the center of the village. Now the old house is where we live."

"Why didn't your son let you live in a new house?" Zhou Heng frowned and asked, no matter how many shortcomings he has, he will still be filial to the elderly, and the most despised are those who marry their wives and forget their mothers .

"Why not, but we still feel comfortable living by ourselves." The aunt was embarrassed to say, because the new house of the son's house was not big, and the children were born one after another, and it was almost too much to live in.

She took Lei He and Zhou Heng into a room, and said embarrassingly: "If you don't mind, just stay here for one night, and I'll get you quilts."

"No need, we all brought these." Lei He looked at the empty house, which could be described as "a house with four walls", only a bed and a pair of tables and chairs.

The bed was covered with straw mats, there was no quilt, and there was nothing on the table. It was obvious that no one lived there.

"Okay, you guys rest first, I'll cook, why don't you just have something to eat with us at night?" The old aunt looked at the clothes and shoes on the two boys, they were all styles and looks she had never seen before. And Zhou Zheng, no matter how you look at it, he is from a wealthy family.

"Okay, we also brought some ham and bacon, why don't you help us process it and add another dish." Lei He took out something from his backpack and handed it to the old lady.

"No no, those of you who are away from home, save these for later, and there is still some bacon at home, that's enough."

Lei He got the other party to accept the ham because he had to talk about it. As for the bacon, he had to secretly keep it tomorrow.

Zhou Heng sat on the only chair in the room, looked around, and sighed: "Would it be ashamed to sleep in such a house at night?"

"Probably not." Lei He was not too sure, he took the mat off the bed and spread the mat and blanket he brought. There are many mosquitoes in the countryside, and he even hung up a mosquito net specially.

"Lie down for a while?" Lei He asked him.

"No, I'm going to take a shower, but this house probably doesn't even have a bathroom." Zhou Heng went out to look for the bathroom with a bitter face, but he couldn't find it. He asked the old lady to find a small room separated by a curtain behind the kitchen. The cubicle, with a stool and a bucket, is obviously where the bathroom is.

"Do you want to take a bath? The hot water has been boiled, can I help you take it in?"

"No, no, I'll let my brother do it." Zhou Heng didn't dare to leave this kind of heavy work to the old man, so he ran out and called Lei He, asking him to bring his change of clothes by the way.

Zhou Heng got into the narrow bathroom and looked at the curtain, which was not as tall as others, with his head exposed above and a section of calf exposed below, not to mention how embarrassing it was.

"Lei He... come here, just stand there... Yes, help me watch." Zhou Heng caught Lei He as the door god, and then quickly took a shower, rubbed it with soap, and rinsed the water , before and after only 5 minutes.

He put on his underpants and got out, his body was still warm, but his face was extremely red.

Lei He scratched his cheek, and laughed at him, "Aren't you used to it? There's no one else here, what are you afraid of?"

Unaccustomed to it is certain, Zhou Heng gave him a push, "It's your turn, hurry up."

Lei He put the T-shirt on him, and then went to fetch water for a bath.

Zhou Heng acted as a door god for a while, staring straight at Lei He's bathing action, watching him pour hot water down his head, and then flow down his calf, and he felt his nose itch a bit as he patched a part of the middle part.

Fortunately, Lei He also washed quickly, otherwise Zhou Heng was not sure if he would really have a nosebleed.

The two packed themselves up, it was completely dark, and the old man came back from the field with a hoe and a basket on his shoulders. He was surprised to know that there were two guests at home, and even more surprised when he saw the appearance of Zhou Heng and Lei He. Secretly: Which big city is this baby from?

The dinner was very simple, a large plate of solid steamed buns, a bowl of fried vegetables, and a bowl of bacon and fried peppers. The portions were enough for four normal adults.

Zhou Heng took a bite of the Wowotou, it was a bit hard and dry, but it was not bad to eat with vegetables, especially the plate of bacon, although it was salty and spicy, it tasted delicious with the Wowotou.

Lei He is a person who doesn't dislike eating anything, he ate it with big mouthfuls, and smiled happily at the old aunt and old man.

The old man took out his treasured Erguotou, knowing that Zhou Heng was underage, so he skipped him and started drinking with Lei He.

Lei He is addicted to alcohol, and his favorite is Erguotou, which is delicious enough to drink one cup after another with the old man.

However, the old man was stopped by his wife after about two ounces of drinking, and Lei He was left to drink alone, and he did not forget to have a sip of wine and a bite of food, even the simple food could be eaten by him like dragon meat.

When he drank the rest of the wine, there was only the last one of corn bread left on the plate, and Zhou Heng kicked him under the table with his standard foodie face.

"It's good that the young man can eat, eat more, if it's not enough, I'll spread out a few more cakes." The old lady said enthusiastically.

"No, that's enough. It's just that I haven't eaten this way for a long time. I miss it."

"According to you, you are from the north? Where is your hometown?"

"It's in the north. It's further north than here. I haven't been back for many years." Lei He thought of his old hometown. He had gone back to that place once since the beginning of the end of the world, and never went back a second time.

There are no parents, no relatives, and the so-called hometown is just a meaningless place name.

"Who else is there in that family? Are you not together?"

"No, my parents are gone, it's just me... we brothers live together." Lei He almost slipped his tongue, but was glared at by Zhou Heng.

After dinner, Lei He wanted to help wash the dishes, but was kicked out of the kitchen by the aunt. The concept of this place is quite traditional, men hardly do housework at home, let alone Lei He, a young man who seems to be from a good background?Even if it's not traditional, I don't believe he can do housework.

Three big men sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, each with a cattail fan, which not only fanned the wind but also drove mosquitoes away.

"Master, is there any place with beautiful scenery near here? It's better to have mountains and water." Zhou Heng asked.

"Are you here to travel? People have come to look for it before, but we really don't have much to do here. The mountains are all small slopes, and the water is all small rivers. Just like that, how can it be regarded as a scenery?" the old man said. Said that he could not understand the thoughts of these young people, isn't it just mountains and water?What can there be to see?

Zhou Heng didn't expect to find their "Taoyuan" just by going to any place, so he asked without hesitation: "Then do you have any special products here? You always have to bring something back when you come out."

"Hey, there are other specialties in this poor place. If you don't mind, you can bring some hazelnuts and pine nuts back home. I still have some at home. I heard that people in big cities buy these things and eat them."

"Yes, do you have many here? If there are many, sell them all to me, and I will give you the market price."

"Can it really be sold?" The old man took a puff of a cigarette, "I don't have much left at home, and my son should have a few dozen catties. If I get you ten catties, it will be enough to eat. What else can I buy?"

"I'm here anyway, so I'll get some things back to sell, and I can earn some travel expenses." Zhou Heng is an out-and-out businessman. When he goes out, he always thinks about getting something to sell back, and he is teased by Lei He More than once, saying that he got into the eyes of money.

"Really?" The old man looked at Zhou Heng, and he really couldn't see that a child of this age could start a business. "If you want me to go to various houses in the village tomorrow to ask, it will be at least a few hundred catties."

"Okay, just let the word out, I'll buy it for three yuan a catty, and I'll take as much as I have." Zhou Heng heard that the quantity was not much, so he didn't hesitate.

If the quantity is large, he will not dare to buy it out easily. Nowadays, nuts are not popular among people, and the audience is not wide enough. He is not sure whether it will be sold well. This time, let's try the water first.

"This..." The old man looked at Zhou Heng suspiciously, three yuan a catty, a few hundred catties is already in the morning, how can an underage baby have so much money?

"It's not the season for hazelnuts yet, is it? If they sell well, I may send people to buy hazelnuts in the future, and I'll ask my uncle to help me contact people."

Now that we've talked about this, the old man has no reason not to agree to such a big good thing, so he just asked his wife to bring some ready-made ones for Zhou Heng and the others to taste.

This season, all the dried hazelnuts are left at home. They are a bit hard to eat, but they are very fragrant to chew. Zhou Heng thinks they are not bad after eating them.

Pack it up and sell it in supermarkets. There should be a market for it. It’s only a few hundred catties.

---------------

The price of hazelnuts is nonsense, don’t be serious, I don’t know how much the 90s sell for.
