Chapter 90
"Hello, grandma."
"Okay, okay, hello, come sit inside!"
The two people were pulled into the house by the enthusiastic grandma, and Zhang Jiayu dragged the suitcase into the house. Seeing that grandma was chatting with the two people without any discomfort, she washed the few remaining clothes.
By the time she finished washing the clothes, it was already dark. When she was about to cook, she suddenly noticed Lin Nanzhi busy in the kitchen, and walked over embarrassedly.
"Nanzhi, why are you here? You are a guest, go sit down and I will come!"
"It's okay, it's almost done. Bring this dish over and I'll fry it and we can eat it."
"good."
Soon, the four of them sat down in front of the bamboo table. There was a small stove under the table, covered with a lid, which was particularly warm in this winter.
There were four dishes, one soup, and some fruits on the table.
"Nanzhi, you also brought some fruit?"
"Um."
"It's the last season, so my family sent some to me." Lin Nanzhi said as he picked up some food for Grandma Zhang: "Grandma, please try it. I made it the way my family cooks it. I don't know if it suits your taste."
"Delicious, perfect."
Grandma raised her thumb as she spoke, and Lin Nanzhi smiled.
They ate and chatted at the same time. It was the first time that Zhang Jiayu brought his classmates back home, and the house was rarely so lively. Grandma Zhang couldn't help but tell a lot of embarrassing stories about Zhang Jiayu's childhood, causing several people at the table to laugh continuously.
This is how the meal ended.
At night, the Zhang family didn't have many rooms, so Grandma Zhang and Zhang Jiayu lived together, while Wanbao and Lin Nanzhi slept in one room. Fortunately, they were used to sleeping on hard beds in the dormitory and had no discomfort at all.
Early the next morning, the crowing of roosters and the chirping of birds woke Lin Nanzhi up. She got up quietly, went out, and looked at the mountain top shrouded in mist, which was very beautiful. Lin Nanzhi quickly took out her cell phone, took a picture and sent it to Wen Jiunian.
[I have already arrived in Jixiang Town, Lanshi City, Qian Province (made up, no real reference), and am now at my classmate’s house.]
The network was a bit slow, and the message he sent was still circling in the same place. Lin Nanzhi looked at it for a while, and after a long time he didn't receive a reply. He sent another message, then hung up his phone and looked around.
I found a piece of red mud not far away, so I found tools and rain boots in the yard, put on the ill-fitting rain boots and walked over. I used the tools to get a lot of red mud over, pressed water into it and mixed it evenly, then moved some stones and started working in the yard.
About an hour later, Lin Nanzhi had just finished halfway when Zhang Jiayu got up.
People in the village are used to having two meals a day, but Lin Nanzhi and Wan Baobao both have four meals a day, so when I was planning to make some breakfast for them, I suddenly found someone in the yard. It could not be anyone else but Lin Nanzhi.
"Nanzhi? What are you doing?"
Lin Nanzhi turned around and waved mysteriously when he saw Zhang Jiayu. Zhang Jiayu walked over and looked at what she was doing, not quite sure what it was: "What is this?"
"You said you wanted to make roast duck for your grandma, so I made a clay stove. Don't underestimate it because it's a clay stove. It's actually an oven that doesn't require electricity. I learned it from my dad."
"real?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
"Sorry to bother you, I'll be busy now."
Lin Nanzhi didn't say anything, just waved his hand and continued to work.
Of course, you can take a look at it, but you definitely can’t use it at the beginning. It needs to be air-dried, so you definitely can’t eat it today.
Another hour passed, the sun was already hanging in the sky, Wanbaobao stretched and got up, and the breakfast made by Lin Nanzhi's simple oven and Zhang Jiayu was ready.
"Aren't you calling me grandma?"
"My grandma isn't at home. She must have gone to the party!"
"So early!" Wanbaobao glanced at the time. It was just past eight o'clock.
Lin Nanzhi said nothing.
Because the weather was cold, she got up an hour later than usual, at seven o'clock, but she didn't see Grandma Zhang, which means she might have passed away earlier.
But she didn't say it.
After breakfast, she opened her suitcase. Wanbaobao and Zhang Jiayu discovered that in addition to a set of pajamas, Lin Nanzhi's suitcase was full of various foods.
"Oh my god, you brought so many things?"
"These are all for grandma. According to the rules over there, it is impolite to visit someone empty-handed. I don't know what grandma likes, so I just brought some."
Wanbaobao: "..."
Did you just bring some with you?
What honey, what supplements, what Beijing specialties...
"Your random stuff is better than mine."
"We both took it."
“No need.” Wanbaobao waved his hands: “It’s my first time visiting someone, so I can’t come empty-handed. But I feel like what I bring won’t be of much use.”
Wanbaobao said this and took out the jade comb she had kept in her bag.
Lin Nanzhi: "..."
Zhang Jiayu: "..."
"Actually, you just need to come. You don't need to bring anything."
Wanbaobao was not under her nose, so she couldn't see him. But she was clearly watching Lin Nanzhi packing his things. How did all the clothes become like this?
Does this woman know some kind of magic?
Just then, Grandma Zhang came back.
Her elderly body was carrying a large backpack covered with a piece of cloth, and she was walking towards this side with a wooden stick. The three men hurried to help her.
"Grandma, why are you carrying so many things?"
"I don't have anything to prepare for dinner at home. I went to the market today to buy some food. It's almost noon now. Ayu, take out the spareribs and stew them."
Lin Nanzhi and Wan Baobao both knew that it was because of the arrival of these two people that Grandma Zhang had to rush over early in the morning, and they felt a little guilty.
"Let me cook."
Lin Nanzhi took the backpack and went into the kitchen. Zhang Jiayu followed him in. Wanbaobao was a killer in the kitchen, so he didn't intend to make things worse. He pulled Grandma Zhang aside to chat and rubbed her shoulders.
"Nanzhi, let me do it..."
"Then you light the fire and I'll cook."
"That's fine."
Zhang Jiayu squatted down and started to make a fire. Lin Nanzhi took out the things in the backpack and found that Grandma Zhang bought a lot of things, including meat, ribs, chicken, and various vegetables.
As she took it out to wash, she chatted with Zhang Jiayu: "Have you ever thought about having only one road in the village? That way, it wouldn't be so difficult to get around, and the village would be better?"
"Of course I know that if you want to get rich, you have to build roads first, but our village is too poor and we don't have the money to build roads. The government is also helping us, but the effect is minimal."
Lin Nanzhi suddenly had an idea.
"Hasn't the village ever thought about developing a tourist area? I saw it from the mountain yesterday, and the scenery here is very beautiful."
You can see the scenery here when you come down from the mountain. There are mountains and water. The whole village is surrounded by mountains and water. The town is also an ancient town. It will definitely be discovered and developed in the future. If roads are built here, the economy will be driven in the future.
