The white giant runs out of the mountain city, crosses the Taohuajiangxi Bridge, and enters the Taohuajiang Reservoir Forest Area.

The road winds around the mountains, with dense forests on both sides, and a large number of tree crowns broken by snow.

Some broken branches even lay across the road.

The snow on the road is getting thicker and thicker, and there are few pedestrians and vehicles.

The car equipped with anti-skid chains ran smoothly, and even at a very low speed, veteran driver Zhao Changan actually felt like it was drifting.

It was already noon when we arrived at Wenjia Village.

Roosters crowing and dogs barking, children's firecrackers and laughter rippled through the valley.

At this time, traveling to work was not yet popular in the inner suburbs of Shancheng City.

In addition to farming, the young and strong villagers are basically working in mountain cities, and they have not returned from vacation at this time.

The village is full of old people and children who are setting off firecrackers and blowing up snowmen during winter vacation.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village. Upon hearing the sound, Grandma Wen Ye came out quickly and greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, you miss me so much!"

Wen Ye went up and hugged grandma. It was the first time since he was a child that he had been away from grandma for such a long time and was not by her side.

"grandmother."

"grandmother."

"grandmother."

The three of them, Zhao Changan, all laughed and shouted, carrying bags and boxes of things to the side room inside the village headquarters.

"You kids, why do you spend so much money and buy so many things?"

Seeing the gift boxes of dried fruits, snacks and drinks that Zhao Changan and the others were holding, Grandma Wen Ye had been collecting junk in the city over the years. Of course she knew the value of these things, and she always felt sorry for the money.

"Xiao Ye is back."

"I thought you would come back during the Chinese New Year, but I just arrived this morning."

Seeing a big Mercedes parked at the entrance of the village, village party secretary Wen Rensheng and village director Wen Shizhong hurried over, only to realize that it was not the leader who made a sudden inspection, but Wen Ye who had returned.

When Grandma Wen Ye saw Wen Rensheng and Wen Shizhong coming, she quickly went into the house to prepare tea, water, melon seeds and peanuts.

"Secretary Rensheng, Director of Shizhong, I am Zhao Changan, President of Yinnan. We have had a phone call before."

Because of the construction of a nursing home, Wen Ye's ancestral home, and Lu Feifei's small villa, Zhao Changan frequently called the Wenjia Village Headquarters to communicate with them.

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew who was who, so he quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to them.

"Mr. Zhao, we have been waiting for your visit!"

"Ms. Lu said on the phone that you should come and check it out on the spot. If there is anything wrong, just mention it."

Naturally, Wen Rensheng and Wen Shizhong did not dare to neglect such a benefactor who spent a large amount of money to build an ancestral hall.

"Secretary Rensheng, Director of Shizhong, I have already contacted Director Wang of the scenic spot. In the afternoon, he will pick us up by boat and take us to the dam for detailed discussions."

Zhao Changan winked at Wen Ye, and Wen Ye naturally understood.

"Uncle Sheng, Uncle Zhong, I didn't bring anything with me this time."

Wen Ye pulled the two elders and walked outside the compound.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, let's have a drink tonight."

Everyone was understanding, Wen Rensheng and Wen Shizhong left the yard with a smile.

"Hey, why did you leave before you sat down?"

Grandma Wen Ye was carrying a tray with tea on it, and was going to the fire pit in the side room to warm up and drink tea.

"Grandma, we are going to the scenic spot after dinner, and they have to go back and prepare."

Zhao Changan smiled and took the tray.

"Then feelings are fine too. What I'm stewing today is pig's trotters, Xiao Ye's favorite, as well as fungus, native eggs, peach fish - I just don't know if it suits your taste?"

"Grandma, what you said made my mouth water."

Liu Yihui laughed.

At noon, the four Zhao Changan brothers accompanied Grandma Wen Ye and had a sumptuous lunch, chatting and laughing.

In the afternoon, Director Wang of the scenic spot called and said that the yacht was going to the small dock in Wenjia Village upstream.

Wen Ye was left to talk to grandma, while Zhao Changan, Liu Yihui, Zhong Lianwei, Wen Rensheng and Wen Shizhong went to the dock to greet her.

We met Director Wang at the pier, and everyone went to the planning area not far from the pier to have a look.

Although the house has not yet been built, a large amount of blue bricks, blue tiles, cement, river sand, steel bars, gravel and granite foundations have been put in place, and the rudimentary outline of the foundation has been dug out, waiting to be dug deeper in the next year.

Zhao Changan took a digital camera and took a lot of photos. After returning to Mingzhu, he sent them to Lu Feifei to see if she had any suggestions for changes.

"Director, we should change the camera too!"

Scenic spot promoter Xiao Mo was so envious when he saw Zhao Changan's digital camera that you can view the effect on a small LCD screen after taking a photo. He was too embarrassed to take photos with the bulky old-fashioned camera in his hand.

“Our scenic spot cannot afford such expensive things.”

At this time, the Taohuajiang reservoir area was still under the joint management of Shancheng City's West District Forestry Bureau and Water Conservancy Bureau's Agricultural Bureau. Director Wang dared to spend 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to support the construction of a nursing home in Wenjia Village, but he did not have the guts to buy luxury goods for his own department.

"As a cooperative organization of Wenjiacun Nursing Home, Yinnan is very willing to support the progress and development of the scenic spot and will provide the scenic spot with a digital camera. This is probably not sold in our mountain city yet, so I asked Zheng City to bring one over.

"

Zhao Changan knew that he couldn't pretend to be timid at this time, so he immediately expressed his stance with a smile.

"How embarrassing."

Director Wang originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xiao Mo's expression next to him, he stopped insisting.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao, you may not recognize me, but I do recognize you."

The little Mo looked at Zhao Changan and smiled: "My dad used to go to the wood saw factory to saw wood. I often followed him and saw you."

"Xiao Mo's father is Ai Dongshan, the owner of Dongshan Furniture."

Director Wang introduced with a smile.

"Oh, oh, nice to meet you."

Zhao Changan smiled at Ai Xiaomo. When he was in elementary school and junior high school, he was surrounded by friends. How could he notice this ugly duckling?

But he knew that Dongshan Furniture was one of the largest furniture factories in the city.

Afterwards, everyone took a boat to the scenic spot.

Zhao Changan contacted Liu Cui on the yacht and asked her to buy a digital camera in the name of One Nano. Zheng Chi and his uncle's family returned to the mountain city for the New Year on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and it was just right for him to bring it back.

——

Danyang.

It was already six o'clock in the evening when the bus entered the bus station, and the sky was completely dark.

The eight-hour bumpy journey, plus the arrival of my aunt, made Zhou Qiao feel as if he was falling apart from the bumps even though he was in good health.

“Accommodation accommodation!”

"Staying in a hotel is cheap, only ten yuan a night!"

"Charter a car to Jinhe and the old temple!"

"Three rounds, three rounds, cheap and fast!"

Zhou Qiao staggered out of the bus station carrying a canvas bag.

"Nier, where are you going? I'm so cheap?"

"Nier, would you like to stay in a hotel? It costs ten yuan a night."

A mixed crowd gathered at the entrance of the station. When they saw the passengers coming out, they immediately swarmed around them.

All kinds of push and pull sales pitches and shouting.

The vast majority of them run serious shops and run vans or three-wheelers.

However, there are also some people who know that when they come back from work to celebrate the New Year, they must have money with them and have all kinds of evil intentions.

Especially when I saw Zhou Qiao alone, he looked very upright.

A few gangster-like tricycle and van drivers, family innkeepers, and even like flies that smelled the smell, gathered around.

"No, I'll live nearby."

Zhou Qiao cautiously dodged each big hand and felt that his butt was rubbed by a hand.

"Zhou Qiao, Zhou Qiao, do you have a big Zhou Qiao here?"

Zhou Qiao, who was anxious and panicked, with blood all over his body, heard someone outside the station asking loudly, and looked around in surprise.

Under the bright street lights, I saw two young men, a man and a woman, wearing the uniforms of Danyang Hotel. One of them was holding a sign with the name "Zhou Qiao" written on it, and the other was shouting with a loudspeaker.
