Two and a half hours later, the car drove from the main road into a rural road, with rolling hills and some plantations on the side of the road.

A river meanders through, and most of the villages along the river are farmhouses and farmers who make a living by picking tea.

As the hills turned into mountains, the road became more and more tortuous, and gradually there were several winding mountain roads.

I thought I could get there in three hours, but I drove for nearly four hours before arriving.

This is a village surrounded by mountains on three sides. The village looks very large, with a checkerboard pattern and well-located houses.

A small river at the entrance of the village gurgles and flows to the terraced fields in the distance, which has a feeling of paradise.

But compared to some villages passing by on the road, this place is obviously more backward, and it seems that there is not much tourism. Except for a middle street with some shops for daily necessities and agricultural products, there are only some village shops left.

Most of the roads in the village are only big enough for one car to pass by. Su Qingxue's Mercedes-Benz is particularly eye-catching in such a place. After all, the farmers here basically use motorcycles as their means of transportation. There are also some vans and small trucks if they have cars.

"Zhou Family Village?" Seeing a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, Su Qingxue said in surprise: "Grandpa, are there people with the surname Zhou in this village?"

"Yes, they are all passed down from an old ancestor, and they are all surnamed Zhou. This place is relatively remote, and there are two minibuses going to the county every day at noon and evening. Don't be disgusted with it," Zhou Xinjiang said with a smile.

"How come, grandpa, I think the scenery here is very beautiful. There are very few places that are not polluted. No one comes here for tourism. If it is really developed, with the conditions here, I think it will definitely become a popular tourist destination. Scenic spot", Su Qingxue was eager to try it.

"Oh, Xiaoxue, you must not say this in the village, it can't be said," Zhou Xinjiang hurriedly persuaded.

Hearing this, even Ye Fan who was driving was puzzled, turned around and said, "Grandpa, is there something wrong with what my wife said?"

Su Qingxue was also surprised, "Is it bad to travel? The villagers here don't want to become rich?"

Zhou Xinjiang sighed, and pointed to the front, "Go to my house first, this matter is hard to explain, and it's getting late, I'll make some dishes for you, sit down and talk slowly."

The car arrived at the door of a two-story old house. The car could drive through the door, and there was a grain drying field inside.

At this moment, the moon is on the branches, and the evening breeze is blowing.

As soon as I got out of the car, a dim light bulb at the door was turned on, and a farmer woman in her sixties or seventies held a baby in the house next door, and walked over curiously: "Brother Xin Jiang, are there any guests at home?"

Zhou Xinjiang hurriedly introduced with a smile: "Amei, this is Wenli's daughter, Xiaoxue, and my grandson-in-law Ye Fan! They sent me back!"

When the peasant woman heard this, she also happily said: "Oh, that's what you said, Xiaoxue who is now the president of a big company?

Brother Xinjiang, are you finally willing to meet your granddaughter? Congratulations, you will be blessed in the future!

I said, such a good-looking car, this car seems to cost hundreds of thousands, right? So rich! "

Ye Fan and Su Qingxue looked at each other, and finally saw the backwardness of this village. They didn't even know Mercedes-Benz. The car worth more than three million yuan actually thought it was only a few hundred thousand. What the hell, even a hundred thousand was an astronomical figure. Same……

However, although the peasant woman was envious, she didn't feel much greed. She just wished Zhou Xinjiang well, and after asking, she walked away with a smile.

Zhou Xinjiang said embarrassingly: "Don't mind, many older women in our village have never been educated, so they don't have much culture and knowledge, and basically spend their whole lives in the village, at most they go to the city a few times.

Back then when your mother was young, your grandmother said that you don’t need to go to school, and that a woman’s lack of talent is virtue. I thought, just one daughter, just finish high school, who knows... your mother wants to go outside when she is educated Look, this time I left, I never came back..."

"Grandpa, it's okay, I think that grandma is quite simple, so that's good, at least she is carefree", Su Qingxue said.

"Then are the children here studying now?" Ye Fan asked.

Zhou Xinjiang nodded, "Basically read it now, so many young people in the village have also gone out to work."

The three of them walked into the house while talking.

Zhou Xinjiang took off his coat and started to work inside and out. First, he went to the stove to stuff a pot of rice, and then fed the livestock.

When Ye Fan saw the stove, he offered to help Zhou Xinjiang light the fire.

Zhou Xinjiang thought Ye Fan didn't know it, and wanted to teach him, but Ye Fan lit the fire very skillfully, holding a fire shovel, and heated up the fire.

Su Qingxue also wanted to help, but she could only do some washing and cutting. She didn't know how to organize most of the things in the old kitchen.

With the help of two people, Zhou Xinjiang spent an hour cooking four dishes and one soup.

Because there is no meat, and there is no time to kill chickens and ducks, I can only scramble some eggs and make a bowl of egg mustard soup. The rest are vegetarian.

"Ye Fan, do you want to drink? I have some rice wine," Zhou Xinjiang asked enthusiastically.

Ye Fan nodded, wanting to try it too, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Thank you, it's the first time you've come here, it's so poor to entertain you, you stay tonight, I'll kill two chickens and ducks tomorrow, go to the market to buy a piece of meat, and have a good meal." Zhou Xinjiang was very upset taste.

"No need for Grandpa, we don't pay attention to this, we have to go back to work tomorrow," Su Qingxue said.

"Oh...that's right, you have to manage such a big company, how can you waste so much time here?" Zhou Xinjiang slapped his forehead, "I'm getting confused, so let's eat quickly and send you away after eating."

Although Su Qingxue really wanted to stay for a few days and accompany the old man, but she happened to have something to deal with, so she could only say: "Grandpa, let's go after breakfast tomorrow."

Hearing that the two were willing to stay for one night, Zhou Xinjiang nodded happily again, "Okay, I'll make egg pancakes for you tomorrow morning."

After pouring the wine and eating the dishes, Ye Fan and Su Qingxue naturally asked about the tourism development of the village.

As a businessman, Su Qingxue still wanted to do something for her mother's hometown. If it could turn this place into a wealthy village, it would be a good thing.

"Grandpa, why on earth can't you mention tourism development?" Su Qingxue asked.

Zhou Xinjiang sighed, got up, went to close the door and window, then sat down, and said in a low voice: "You are all from your own family, and Ye Fan is also the grandson-in-law of our Zhou family, so let me tell you the truth." .

It's not that people in our village don't want to get rich, it's just that our clan elders and patriarchs don't allow outside developers to come in.

Moreover, the government dare not take care of the affairs of our village, and all decisions about the village must be approved by the elders of the clan. "

"Clan elder? Patriarch?" Su Qingxue was stunned, "What year is it, why do you still have such a title?"
