The car stopped in front of a house. The house was made of mud bricks. Judging from its appearance, it was not a wealthy family. Standing at the door was a strong middle-aged man with a dark complexion and rough skin. It was obvious that he had been engaged in physical labor for a long time.
Seeing Zhang Zhihao get out of the car, the man immediately came over.
"Zhihao, you are such a rare guest. Why did you think of coming to my house today?" Zhou Junliang looked at Zhang Zhihao and said with a smile.
Zhang Zhihao asked: "Why are you not welcome?"
"Haha, welcome, of course you're welcome. Come in."
"Wait, I got two bottles of wine. Let's drink some at noon tomorrow." Zhang Zhihao turned around and took out the wine that Li Xiuyuan brought from the car.
"No, what do you mean? Just come, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you brought things with you. Do you look down on me?" Zhou Junliang's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
Zhang Zhihao shook his head and cursed with a smile: "You bastard, you don't know how to appreciate kindness, do you? I have two bottles of good wine and I'm here to drink with you, and you're still talking nonsense."
After hearing what Zhang Zhihao said, Zhou Junliang's expression improved a little. He turned and looked at Li Xiuyuan who was standing next to Zhang Zhihao.
"Zhihao, what is this?"
"My brother-in-law."
"Brother Zhou, Li Xiuyuan, it's your holiday. Come here with my brother-in-law to play. When he gets drunk, I'll be his driver." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
In fact, he had been to Meilin Village several times, but every time he came, there was always a large group of people, so he was not afraid of being recognized by ordinary villagers.
"Oh, welcome, welcome, please come in." Zhou Junliang greeted warmly.
After a few people walked into the house, Li Xiuyuan discovered that this family was even poorer than it looked from the outside.
The furniture in the house was quite old, and there were few decent home appliances. The only thing that could be considered a home appliance was probably the color TV. But even though the house was poor, it looked very clean.
Zhou Junliang's wife also came out to say hello. She looked pale and seemed to be sick.
"Brother Zhou, what's happening to my sister-in-law?" Li Xiuyuan also asked.
Zhou Junliang sighed and talked about the situation at home. Since Li Xiuyuan was brought here by a friend, there was nothing he couldn't say. The reason why his family was poor was not because he was not diligent, but because his wife Zhang Qian was ill all year round.
In ordinary families, especially in rural areas, women don’t even have the opportunity to be housewives. Generally speaking, both husband and wife have to work to barely make ends meet.
There are two children in my family. The eldest one is in junior high school in town, and the younger one is in primary school in the village.
The family is no longer burdened.
It was around eleven o'clock when the two of them arrived. After drinking a cup of tea, Zhang Zhihao took the initiative to suggest going for a walk around the village. Zhang Zhihao knew exactly why his brother-in-law came down, he just wanted to see the rural construction projects in Meilin Village.
Of course Zhou Junliang would not refuse. He took the two of them out and wandered around the village. Soon Li Xiuyuan asked about the source of the strange smell.
