The shuttle bus from their town can't go directly to Chestnut Valley. The car stopped at a place called Jinwuling. The father and son moved their things down and squatted on the side of the road to wait for a long time before they got the bus to Chestnut Valley. He got on the bus at seven o'clock, and didn't arrive at Chinligou until almost eleven o'clock. Looking at the time, Jiang Youliang's old face turned red.

Going to be a guest at someone's house at this time seems to be deliberately stuck with the meal time to grab a meal.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoman rolled his eyes, he knew what his father was hesitating about.It happened that there was a big signboard and a tourist map at the entrance of the village. Jiang Xiaoman walked over to have a look, pointed to a place on the map with a knife and fork and said to his father——

"Dad, I heard them say that the noodles with mushroom sauce in Chestnut Valley are very delicious. There just happens to be a noodle shop here. Why don't we go eat first? Shall we go to Uncle Shanrong's house after we finish eating? I'm hungry."

"Okay! Okay! Let's go eat first!" Jiang Youliang breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, although he and Shanrong are relatives in the ancestors, the two families haven't moved for many years. He doesn't even have a phone number for Shanrong's family. joke?

The father and son found the noodle restaurant with their backpacks on their backs, and found that there was no place inside. They did not expect that a noodle restaurant opened in the village would be so popular. Looking at the menu and price list on the wall, Jiang Xiaoman fell silent.

A bowl of beef tripe noodles is 25 yuan, a bowl of river shrimp and eel noodles is 30 yuan, and the cheapest signature mushroom sauce noodles cost 10 yuan... This price is considered a conscience price in the scenic spot, after all, beef, river shrimp and eel Fish and other ingredients are not cheap, but his father probably is reluctant to eat such expensive noodles.

"Xiaoman, this store is full, why don't we go to the store across the street and buy two bags of steamed buns?" Jiang Youliang could read a few words, and when he looked at the price list on the wall, his heart was about to bleed. The noodle costs 30 yuan. Could it be that the food is dragon meat?

There is a foam box at the entrance of the small shop opposite, and the price is written on the cardboard, "1 yuan for 2 steamed buns, 1 yuan for 1 mushroom meat bun". This is what rural people can afford. He eats two steamed buns. I will be full, and I will buy three meat buns for my son, and four yuan for the father and son is enough.

Jiang Xiaoman saw that his father's distressed face was wrinkled, he felt sad and funny at the same time.In fact, he really doesn't care much about what he eats, and he has money, so he can't afford a bowl of noodles for ten yuan, but he is worried that after eating this bowl of noodles, his father will feel sorry for him for a month, so Jiang Xiaoman hurried I ran to the canteen opposite, scanned the QR code to pay, and bought 6 big buns stuffed with shiitake mushrooms and meat, and borrowed two stools from the boss. The father and son just sat in front of the shop and had a meal, not even willing to buy water!

Jiang Xiaoman goes to the supermarket every summer to work as a salesman, and the boss gives them some defective plastic water glasses as gifts. He saved a lot during college and carries them home every year. The various water glasses at home are enough for father and son to use. It's been ten years, but this time, Jiang Youliang dug out two large travel jugs on purpose, and each of them filled a big jug of cold water, which was enough for them to drink for a day.

After eating the steamed stuffed buns, I saw that the time was still early, and guessed that people must still be having lunch at this point, so the father and son simply went to the store to pick out some tobacco, alcohol and pastries. Sure enough, the things outside the mountain were cheaper than those sold in the mountain. , Jiang Youliang gritted his teeth, chose two bottles of white wine that they drank at the banquet, bought a good cigarette, and wanted to buy some pastries, but the boss said that old-fashioned pastries are no longer popular now. Turn around and bring him a big gift bag out——

"You can buy this. The price is about the same as pastry. It contains hawthorn rolls, jelly, potato chips, etc. that children love. It is decent and practical to give away. By the way, are you here to visit relatives? Whose house is it? "The boss is really curious. His ancestors are also mountain people. He can tell from Jiang Youliang's clothes. He is probably related to their ancestors in Chestnut Valley.

"Hey! It's embarrassing to say, my ancestors are still uncles to your old village head of Shanrong, and we haven't moved around for many years. This time, it's also because of the children..."

Jiang Youliang gave the boss the relationship between his ancestors and Shan Rong, and Jiang Xiaoman, who was on the side, was dizzy. He had to draw a tree diagram to figure out what happened to his aunts, cousins, aunts and grandparents!

Hearing that Jiang Youliang came to find the old village head of Shanrong, the shop owner couldn't help standing up, showing embarrassment, "Oh, then we are also relatives! Shanrong is my uncle! Come in and drink tea, uncle!" !"

Good guy!This is really shopping to a relative’s house, the shop owner hurriedly led them in, made tea for them with cups, and handed them cigarettes. Seeing that Jiang Xiaoman didn’t eat cigarettes, he promptly fished a popsicle from the freezer for him : "Children shouldn't eat cigarettes, it's bad for your health! Come, eat a popsicle!"

Jiang Xiaoman finally found out that the owner of the store is Shan Qinfu, but the relationship between Shan and Jiang's ancestors is too far away, and it is difficult to figure it out. After guessing his age, he simply called Jiang Youliang an old man. Uncle, seeing that they were dressed in shabby clothes, it seemed that life was going to be difficult. He came to seek help from his relatives, sighed secretly, ran out to call his uncle Shanrong, and told him that there were guests at home.

He can't leave the store here, and he can't let people come to the door after inquiring all the way, so he can only ask his uncle to send his family to pick him up.

Shan Rong came over to pick him up in person soon. He remembered the relatives of Jiang's family. His father always talked about it when he was alive, telling them to go to this aunt's and grandma's house when they had time, so as not to break this relationship.

However, the two families are too far away, and there are generations between them. His father's generation still travels through mountains and rivers to visit relatives. In their generation, they are too lazy to travel long distances. In places where the bus can't reach, relatives basically don't move. up.

Jiang Youliang didn't know Shan Rong anymore, but there were these two strangers sitting in the shop, one of them was about the same age as Shan Rong, Shan Rong went up and grabbed Jiang Youliang's hands, shaking them vigorously, "Are you the cousin of the Jiang family? Oh, I haven't seen you for so many years!"

In fact, the two didn't know each other at all. They were probably taken by their parents to visit relatives when they were very young. Later, the elders were gone, and the younger generations hadn't seen each other for a long time. They probably didn't recognize each other when they walked across.

After some recognition, Jiang Youliang pushed Jiang Xiaoman out again and asked him to call someone.Jiang Xiaoman called his old uncle in embarrassment, Shan Rong took a closer look and found that he was a clean and sensible child, and after hearing Jiang Youliang said that he was still a college student, he immediately asked his nephew Shan Qinfu to bring him a red envelope, I wrapped a red envelope for him on the spot.

Jiang Xiaoman refused to take it, and Jiang Youliang also said that he had grown up and was not a child. He wanted some red envelopes, but was suppressed by Shan Rong with a single sentence: "It doesn't matter how old he is, it's the first time he's back. Old uncle's family, as an uncle, don't I make a red envelope, is it reasonable?"

As he spoke, he urged them to hurry up and get something to eat at home.

Needless to say, Shan Qinfu must have informed his uncle that the father and son had bought steamed stuffed buns in the shop, and it must be because of this point that they were embarrassed to disturb them for dinner.

Shan Rong is also from the old mountain people. Although the mountain people are poor, they also have the backbone of being poor. If Jiang Youliang was replaced by him, he would definitely wait for others to finish their meal before coming to the door.However, since others have received it, how could it be possible for the distant cousin to squat in front of someone else's house and eat buns?

The father and son followed Shanrong back home. Jiang Youliang looked up and saw that Shanrong's house had built a small four-story western-style building. The garden at the door was built like a fairyland on TV. There were rockery and fish ponds inside. The koi was exactly the same as the one in the New Year picture. After looking around, Jiang Youliang's mouth could hardly close in surprise.

His distant cousin really made a fortune!

When Shanrong received the call, he asked his wife to go to the restaurant in the village to order a few signature meat dishes, re-fried some vegetables, sent his son to a stewed vegetable shop to buy some stewed vegetables, and reorganized a table of good dishes. Zhang Luo wanted to open a bottle of good wine to entertain the father and son, but was stopped by Jiang Youliang -

"Brother Shanrong, I'm really not being polite to you. Xiaoman and I came here to ask you about someone. We didn't even think about coming over for dinner. After we finished talking, we have to go to the town to buy a refrigerator!"

"You also know that our Langshan is very poor. My family hasn't bought a refrigerator until now. No, my family Xiaoman is going back to his hometown to start his own business. He said that he needs to use a refrigerator. We will go to town to buy it in the afternoon and buy it in the evening. I have to go back, otherwise the pigs and chickens at home will starve to death."

Shan Rong had no choice but to put away the wine bottle. He knew that Jiang Youliang was not being polite to him. The reason why the two families hadn't moved around in these years was because the Jiang family lived too far away.It's not easy for people to go out for a trip, and they have to go to the town to buy things. It seems that they really can't drink, and it would be bad to delay things.

"That's fine, next time you and Xiaoman come home again and stay a few more days! Ask your sister-in-law to cook you an old hen!" Shan Rong tried his best to persuade them to eat vegetables because they couldn't drink.

In fact, Jiang Youliang and Jiang Xiaoman are no longer hungry after eating three big buns, but they bought this big table of vegetables specially to entertain themselves, and they must eat some. Jiang Youliang ate vegetables while eating. He explained what he wanted to ask Shanrong for help——

The situation in Langshan is different from that in Chestnut Valley. Although Chestnut Valley used to be poor and had no roads, it was not far from the main road. It doesn't make sense for the country to spend huge sums of money to build a winding mountain road that not many people walk for their families, so many poverty alleviation projects are actually not suitable for them.

For example, the new varieties of yams and cassava, which were vigorously promoted in the village in the past few years, have increased their output, but ordinary people will not grow too much.The first is that there are not so many people in the family, and young people have gone out to work. How much can they grow by relying on the old, weak, women and children at home?The second is that the traffic is too bad. No matter how much you harvest, if you can’t sell it, you can only rot in the ground, and the seeds and fertilizers are wasted.

"I also heard from others that you have a very powerful big boss here. He has a lot of knowledge and many ways. I want to ask Brother Shanrong for a call. My Xiaoman said that he wants to go to this Boss Tang to learn from him. No one introduced him. , I'm afraid people won't even meet me face to face."

"What am I supposed to do? We, Xiaoman, have ambitions! What is this? The two of us really want to go together! In fact, a few years ago, we wanted to mobilize the mountain people to grow mushrooms with us. By the way, under the forest in our village Boss Tang invested in Shiitake, she is a good person, I would be happy to know that you are willing to join in!"

"I think it's just like this. It's not early today. After dinner, I will ask your nephew to drive you to the town to buy a refrigerator, and then send it back to you. When it is empty next time, you ask Xiaoman to come here by himself, and I will take him. Looking for Boss Tang, what do you think?"

"That's great! It's just that it's too far to drive there. We'll go to the town to buy it ourselves. After we buy it, we can take the shuttle bus with us, and we can get home after just one bus transfer." Jiang Youliang firmly refused to be so troublesome. relatives.

"Whispering! Listen to me! There is a car at home, but it's just a trip, what's the trouble?" Shan Rong waved his hand, and his son smiled and said it was no trouble, and he really wanted to go to Langshan to see look.
