Chapter 16 Hometown



Only those who live in the mountains truly know the hardships of life there.

They faced great inconvenience in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and also had to endure dangers and loneliness that ordinary people could not imagine.

Since this old man claims to be a pioneer in the construction of Yangziling Station, he must be no ordinary person now. No wonder he can spend so much money to buy wild rabbits.

Hearing Wang Tianxiao say this, the old man asked with a smile, "Why do you call me 'old leader'?"

"To be honest, I work in the Ziwuling area."

"What a coincidence!" The old man suddenly became interested and said excitedly, "I never expected to run into a young man from my workplace. Tell me, how is it going over there?"

Wang Tianxiao thought for a moment, his memory was actually very vague, it had been thirty or forty years, how could he remember so much, so he laughed and said: "It's still the same, in the mountains, what new things can there be."

"You're underestimating an old man like me. This little weight is no problem for me." The old man lifted two ten-pound rabbits with one hand, showing Wang Tianxiao his strength, like a playful old man.

He had a defiant look on his face.

Wang Tianxiao was about to leave after delivering the items to the house when a motorcycle suddenly came from the right and stopped with a rumble at the entrance of the residential compound. A young man in a leather jacket got off the motorcycle.

Wearing a full leather jacket and chunky leather boots, this kind of person is definitely a trendy young person who will turn heads in this era.

He draped his white gloves over the handlebars and prepared to enter the yard when he suddenly saw Wang Tianxiao, who was about to leave, pointing at his bag and asking, "What's in here?"
