Chapter 164 Green Tree Village
It took Gao Yuan a long time to make Bai Xiao reluctantly understand this gift full of his sincere gratitude and must not be really given.
When Bai Xiao finally took back his luggage in vain, the mountain carriage pulled by the demonized war horse finally arrived at his destination.
Huluyuan, Tianshui Town, Qingshu Village.
When the carriage from Yushancheng stopped at the entrance of the village, dozens of villagers were already surrounded by the door.
For this small village located in the hinterland of Huluyuan, this obviously valuable mountain carriage and the demonized war horse that was pitch black and spit out flames were all news.
Of course, the most important thing is the passengers in the carriage.
Dozens of villagers looked at the carriage for a while, and then at the middle-aged couple who were slightly uneasy in the crowd.
When Zuo Qingsui saw the two men through the car window, she could no longer help but feel excited and jumped out of the carriage first.
"Dad, mom!"
As the girl called, the villagers suddenly burst into a burst of amazement.
"It's really a girl from Qingsui!"
"Tsk tsk, I haven't seen each other for half a year, I can't recognize it."
"Dad, you are confused. Can't you tell your height?"
Zuo Qingsui completely ignored the villagers who were with him day and night, and ran all the way and threw herself into her parents' arms.
The petite body faced the sturdy farmers, there should be no impact, but the Zuo couple couldn't help but shake their bodies, trembling with excitement, unable to speak for a long time, and they just held their daughter in their arms and stroked her hair and back.
Gao Yuan was watching in the carriage and was simply moved: "This is family affection!"
Bai Xiao was also sad: "This is family affection..."
But then, the eyes of the young man in the snow-capped mountains fell on the crowd, and several people with their eyes shining.
"Does Zuo Qingsui have enemies here?"
Gao Yuan was stunned when he heard this: "With Zuo Qingsui's appearance, he still has enemies? How capable is that enemy to take revenge on society."
After a pause, Gao Yuan said again: "When I sent someone here to help, I never mentioned that the Zuo family had any enemies in Qingshu Village, they were just ordinary farmers. Of course, there must be something unusual about being able to raise a child like Zuo Qingsui... But why do you ask this, senior brother?"
Bai Xiao directly pointed his hand at a few people in the crowd who were obviously smiling and not smiling: "The hostility on them is obvious at a glance."
Gao Yuan also turned to look at it. Sure enough, there were a few middle-aged men and women. Although they were standing in the crowd, their expressions were out of place with the surroundings. The gritted face was particularly eye-catching when they looked closely!
"It's weird, it seems to be a real enemy?" Gao Yuan was shocked. Zuo Qingsui actually has an enemy? This is even more incredible than Zheng Liming having a girlfriend!
What kind of person will hate Zuo Qingsui?
At this time, Zuo Qingsui also wiped her tears with a handkerchief and pointed her hand at the carriage: "Dad, mom, my two classmates are here too."
Gao Yuan reached out and poked Bai Xiao: "Senior Brother, get off the car." Then when he jumped out of the car, a kind smile squeezed out from his fat face and waved to the villagers.
"Hello everyone, I am Gao Yuan from the Gao family of Huihuanggu. I usually receive a lot of care from Qingsui in Hongshan City. I would like to say thank you to all the fellow villagers in Qingsui~"
Gao Yuan said this kindly, but as soon as the three words "Qianghuang Valley" were spoken, many villagers immediately showed a solemn look.
In border counties, the Huihuang Valley has a lofty status. As one of the most important families of the Huihuang Valley, the Gao family has the most prestige, and its reputation is common in any border counties. Some people even said that people in border counties do not know who the emperor is, but they must not know who the owner of the Gao family is.
Gao Yuan's greeting suddenly made people look at Zuo Qingsui with a little respect and a lot of emotion.
"The Zuo family... is about to develop, and they actually got involved with the Gao family."
At the same time, Bai Xiao paid the fare and got out of the car.
The coachman looked at the round and clear gem in his hand and said dumbly: "I'm sorry, the customer, this car won't be sold..."
He raised his head, but found that Bai Xiao had already walked far.
As Bai Xiao approached, the villagers reacted another way.
Full of fun.
Because just as Bai Xiao walked out of the car, Zuo Qingsui's face began to flush. Although the girl was trying her best to control her expression, for these villagers who watched her grow up, this thought was obvious at a glance.
"Dad, mom, this one is the senior brother Bai Xiao who has been in the academy."
As he said that, the girl trembled again, "Senior Brother, this is my father, my mother, ah, and this is..."
Zuo Qingsui was still waiting to introduce the villagers to Bai Xiao one by one, but Zuo's father reacted first and waved: "Don't stand here stupidly, go home, the food is ready!"
——
Meals are just simple home-cooked dishes.
In a small wooden house in the Zuo family, Zuo's mother was busy putting an old square table full of gourd original specialties.
The most common types are various grains, which are composed of green potatoes, which are specialized in Qingshu Village, as well as newly harvested wheat, oats and other grains. After fermentation, they are boiled and steamed, and then formed the most popular green cakes and noodle soup in the Huluyuan area.
In addition, there are various freshly picked seasonal vegetables, as well as large pots of meat and vegetables.
Although there were three people in the hut, Zuo’s mother was busy but she had a full 10-person banquet.
The strong middle-aged woman wiping her sweat while smiling and said to Bai Xiao and Gao Yuan: "I don't know if it matches the tastes of both of you, so the farmer has just entertained some unconventional things."
Gao Yuan ate a bite of the green cake and praised it: "It's still the taste of my hometown. In Hongshan City, even the green cakes from Gao Laozhuang are not as authentic as those steamed by the farmers!"
Bai Xiao didn't say much, swallowed a green cake in one bite, drank half a bowl of noodles in another bite, and then used amazing techniques to fold more than a dozen square pieces of steamed meat into his mouth one by one.
Although there is no comment, this generous and heroic appearance is more realistic than any praise.
Zuo’s mother smiled so hard that she couldn’t stop: “It’s best to like to eat. Eat with your stomach open and you’re prepared too much!”
Gao Yuan said to Bai Xiao softly: "Senior Brother, these are polite words. You should be merciful... Qingsui is already thin enough and can no longer be undernourished."
Zuo Qingsui was both angry and funny: "Then you won't eat less yourself! And I'm not malnutrition!"
Before he finished speaking, Zuo's father slapped his head: "Don't yell when eating!"
——
After a big meal at the farmhouse, Gao Yuan planned to help Zuo's mother clean the dishes, but finally couldn't resist the hospitable and stubborn farmhouse woman, so she had to quietly walk to Bai Xiao after she had enough food and food, and said.
"Senior brother, this is indeed something wrong."
Bai Xiao asked, "What do you say?"
"You think, when we drove into the village before, there were dozens of people gathered at the door. It was obvious that Qingsui wrote a letter to her family to inform her itinerary, right? But since the villagers knew that Qingsui was coming back, her classmates were also with her - my aunt had just set up a table of sumptuous meals, so she must not be specially prepared to entertain Qingsui alone, right? She couldn't finish her meal even if she was so full. Then why were there only five of us on the table in the end? What about those villagers who like to join in the fun?"
Bai Xiao suddenly realized: "Do you think the Zuo family is not very popular enough in the village?"
Gao Yuan said, "It would be fine if the others didn't come to join in the fun, and my uncle didn't invite outsiders, which is very strange. At least the villagers in the border county are still very enthusiastic. You have just seen my uncle's character. I didn't talk much, but I was definitely kind-hearted. But whether it was just greeting the village entrance or entertaining us, he had no contact with the people around me, which was really hard to understand... Alas, it's a pity that my young master of the Gao family is really not worthy of his name. The power he can use in the border county is limited, and it is all about fishing for troubled waters. I sent them to do business, and my chest was slapping loudly, but I couldn't even understand the situation in the village."
Bai Xiao pondered for a moment: "Why go and ask the person involved directly."
"... I really admire my senior brother's personality for such a straightforward personality. But with Qingsui's personality, asking will only add burden to her."
Bai Xiao said: "The person I mentioned is the villagers who did not come to join in the fun. How popular is the Zuo family in Qingshu Village? It is the most direct and effective way to ask the people around you."
However, before Bai Xiao went out to ask, the answer was automatically delivered to the door.
