"This crab is so delicious. There are a lot of mushrooms in my hometown. When I was a child, I often went up the mountain to pick mushrooms to eat. The mushrooms are also delicious when stir-fried, especially when made into soup..."
"When I get home this time, I'll pick mushrooms for you and cook them for you so that Mr. Zhang can have a taste too!"
Xiaoshan said shyly, "Let's see." He was not good at speaking. He also saw that Mr. Zhang was very particular about food, so he would even bring a chef with him when he went to his hometown this time.
All plan to return to their hometown to pick mushrooms to thank Mr. Zhang.
Of course, this was the most he could do, a very small thing that could only express one ten-thousandth of the gratitude in his heart.
"Oh, mushrooms are wild delicacies, low in fat, and some of them taste really amazing. What else is delicious and fun in your hometown?"
Zhang Fan is still very curious about Xiaoshan’s hometown.
He only knew that his hometown was in the mountains, very far away, but he really had no idea what it looked like or what kind of mountains it was.
It is hard to imagine for those who have not been there.
"There are a lot of trees and mountains, so it's hard to walk. There are a lot of mushrooms, a lot of small animals in the mountains, and a lot of pine nuts and other things..."
Xiaoshan scratched his head. He hadn't been back for more than ten years. In fact, what impressed him most was that it was too far away. It was really too far for people from the mountains to travel back.
It would take a whole day to get out of the mountain by car, and it would take three days and three nights to walk.
Because the journey was long, he almost forgot what good things were left. Because the journey was long, no matter how good the things were, they could not be transported out.
"Look outside the window. There are mountains like this, one after another. It takes a long, long time to walk. It may take three or four days to drive to my home. Can you imagine how far it is?"
Xiaoshan smiled bitterly. They were riding in a motorhome, so they didn't have to rest during the journey. The two drivers took turns driving. Even so, it would take several days.
If you wait for the bus and take the bus like him, and then wait for another bus and take the bus again, your trip home depends on luck. Sometimes it may take four or five days, sometimes five or six days. Anyway, no one can tell for sure.
It’s so far that all the time for the round trip is spent on the journey.
It’s too difficult, too difficult.
"Plane, how far is the nearest plane?"
"There is an airport in the provincial capital, but there is no direct bus from the airport. You have to take a bus and transfer many times, which takes two or three days. Haha, and the plane ticket is very expensive..."
Xiaoshan's words gave Zhang Fan the feeling that Xiaoshan's hometown was far away and he was about to go abroad.
Moreover, due to the vastness of the mountain, transportation is particularly inconvenient, which makes it very difficult for children to leave the mountains.
Even for children like Xiaoshan, once they get out of this difficult situation, life outside is extremely difficult.
This is determined by the region and the vision. They walked out of the mountains, but they could not walk out of the mountain in their hearts.
The RV kept driving and arrived at the provincial capital of Xiaoshan's hometown after a day. The provincial capital looked very green, the sky was especially blue, and it was almost as prosperous as Jiangcheng. The people there were very pleasant to watch.
They rested for one night near the airport, and Xu Zijun took the opportunity to receive food supplies arranged by the Rong family.
Because a lot of the food they eat is purchased from the place of origin that day and delivered directly by plane, this ensures that the food they put in the car is the freshest.
No matter how comfortable the RV is, you should get off the RV from time to time to walk around and get some fresh air, so that you will feel more comfortable.
Xiaoshan lived next door to Zhang Fan. Looking at this magnificent presidential suite, even though it was just a small room, it shocked Xiaoshan greatly.
He had never thought that the interior decoration of a hotel could be so beautiful?
Lying on such a bed, Xiaoshan tossed and turned in excitement and couldn't sleep. He felt that the one day he spent with Mr. Zhang gave him more experience and more good things than he had experienced in the past year, ten years, or thirty years.
He was so excited and the bed was so comfortable that he couldn't sleep.
Mr. Zhang is so young, yet so amazing. He is richer and more powerful than all the bosses he has met. How could his parents know such an amazing person?
He is so lucky to meet Mr. Zhang.
The next day, Xu Zijun waited until Zhang Fan had a good rest before getting on the RV. The food inside was prepared. Breakfast was light, just a bowl of seafood porridge, some side dishes, and a crispy cake.
Zhang Fan ate a few pieces of rice and drank a bowl of porridge, then watched the scenery outside the car window slowly turn green.
On the road from the provincial capital airport to Xiaoshan’s hometown, there were still many vehicles passing through in the first one or two hours, but as time went by, two or three hours after leaving the airport, all you could see around were green mountains.
And the highway also changed from a four-lane road to a narrow one-way street.
If there is a car coming from the opposite direction, we have to be very careful to push the car towards the muddy roadbed on the side of the road so that the oncoming car can pass smoothly.
Fortunately, we didn’t see many cars along the way and there were green mountains all around.
Moreover, the mountains here are very strange, as if they suddenly rose from the ground, with steep cliffs. From time to time, white clouds float over the mountainside, as beautiful as a fairy mirror on earth.
Along the way, we hardly saw any houses, because many of these high mountains are not suitable for human habitation or climbing. Although the green mountains are beautiful, they will be a disaster once there is a mountain torrent or mudslide.
People at the foot of the mountain will feel particularly unsafe.
At noon, Zhang Fan wanted to get off the car and walk around, and Xu Zijun quickly found a river and stopped there.
The riverside is relatively open, and the pebbles that rushed down from the upstream have formed a large area in a relatively calm place, which is as large as one or two acres. There is also a rare large bamboo forest next to it.
When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle.
The RV was parked on the riverbank so as not to block the way of other cars, although we didn't see another car along the way.
Zhang Fan got off the car and felt the wind blowing. He felt his mind suddenly become clearer and his spirits were lifted. In other words, the oxygen content here is definitely very high.
It's the kind of feeling where you can breathe deeply and yet feel extremely comfortable.
"Master, it's very comfortable here, ahhhhhh!"
Hua Yueying, who got off the car, couldn't help but shout a few words towards the woods over there and the green mountains in the distance. She had been to so many places and rarely lost her composure like this. This made Zhang Fan couldn't help but look around.
The clear water flowing over the pebbles is cleaner than any pure water from snow mountains that Zhang Fan has ever seen.
There are green mountains in the distance and bamboo forests nearby. With only the wind blowing, it looks like no one has ever lived here. What a wonderful place!
Zhang Fan is looking forward to Xiaoshan’s hometown again!
