Wang Zhi's mother took the fruit and other things from Wang Zhan and Murong Xue's hands, and then welcomed them into the house.
After entering the room, Wang Zhan realized that the space inside was even more spacious than what he had just seen outside.
503 An old man in his 50s and [-]s was sitting on the kang smoking a cigarette.
In this age of cigarettes, few people continue to smoke pouches.
Firstly, shredded tobacco is not easy to buy, and secondly, this kind of cigarette pouch is full of strength and strong taste, which is difficult for ordinary people to adapt to.
But in this kind of economically backward place, there are still many people who like this relatively cheap and traditional cigarette bag.
As long as you spend dozens of dollars to buy some shredded tobacco, it is enough to smoke for a long time.
Like the room in front of you, when you enter the room, you can smell a very strong smell of dry tobacco.
The pungent smell made Murong Xue wrinkle her nose, but she didn't speak, she just forcibly resisted the urge to cough.
Seeing a group of people entering the house, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect so many people to come into the house suddenly.
But he quickly realized that he saw his daughter Wang Zhi.
"You're back?" the old man said to Wang Zhi.
"Well, you are not in good health, I'd better come back earlier." Wang Zhi nodded to her father, and said in a flat voice.
Then seeing the old man's gaze, he introduced the identities of Wang Zhan and Murong Xue to him.
The old man nodded slightly to the two, but he didn't have the enthusiasm of Wang Zhi's mother. He looked very cold, and he didn't seem to like greeting strangers very much.

"My daughter is back, and there are guests, old man, why don't you hurry up and order some dishes! These are my daughter's friends, they came from afar, so you can't treat them badly." Wang Zhi's mother said.
Hearing Wang Zhi's mother's words, her father snuffed out the cigarette pipe, tied it around his waist, and headed towards the kitchen.
"My baby's father doesn't talk much, especially in front of strangers. Don't mind me. But our old man's craftsmanship is not bad. When he was young, he worked as a chef for a restaurant in the county town." Wang Zhi The mother mentioned her husband's craft, obviously very proud.
Perhaps for such a family, being able to find a decent job in the county is already something to be proud of.
Wang Zhi's mother chatted with Wang Zhan and the others for a while, and then went to help out in the back kitchen.
Wang Zhi's younger brother, Wang Cheng, said that he was going to the store above the town to buy some wine and other things to entertain the guests.
"I'll go with you. I just want to see your town. I'm really curious about the differences between your town and ours." Wang Zhan said with a smile.
Seeing Wang Zhan's curious face, Wang Cheng nodded in agreement, and said, "Of course, it happens that I may not be too busy alone. Brother Wang, if you want to go, it would be great."
Mudu Town is a very backward town. Compared with the villages and towns around cities that Wang Zhan has seen before... no, there is no comparison at all.At least other villages and towns will build a regular and flat concrete road, but here there is not even a normal concrete road, and there are dirt roads full of potholes.
There are not many buildings in the town, but they are not so sparse that there are less than ten small three-story buildings in a town, and they are all used for business.
"The only family in the town who can live in a building is our mayor~~."
Wang Cheng walked in front, leading the way for Wang Zhan, while introducing the situation in Mudu Town: "The mayor's son is very promising, and he does business in the county. It is said that he also sells tea, big but not only tea, It seems to be doing some other business, we don’t know about that.”
"But the three-story small building is real. It was built only the year before last, and it cost 10,000+!" Wang Cheng said enviously when he mentioned the small three-story residential building of the Zhang family in Zhenzhen.
People in this kind of place don't think too much. It is already a very happy thing to live in a slightly better house and marry a satisfactory wife or husband.
For white-collar workers living in big cities, 10,000+ seems to be about one year's salary. If you want to, you can save it for no more than two years.
But in this small town, it's a goal that everyone can't envy, and it may take a lifetime of hard work.
"Can't you grow tea trees here? I remember that the income from tea seems to be quite high. 10,000+ should not be difficult for you." Wang Zhan asked.
"Brother Wang, you don't know this. Although we grow tea trees here, few people are willing to buy them from us. The main reason is that the traffic environment in our town is not good. People can basically collect three or four tea trees in half a day if they go to other places. For the tea from one town, we can only make a trip here, and delay going to several towns to collect tea, of course people don’t want to come here.” Wang Cheng explained.
"But there is nothing you can do. The county does not have much funding. It is not cheap to build a road for a small town like ours. It is said that it will cost a lot of money. And now everyone tries to go out of the town as much as possible. Some young people It has already moved into the county seat."
"As soon as this year is over, I'm planning to go to the county to work. When I make money, I'll build a small western-style building in my hometown. How comfortable it will be." Wang Cheng laughed.
Hearing what this boy said, Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Don't you want to buy a building in your county? The house price here should not be expensive. Instead of building a house in the town, it is better to buy a building in the county."
"That can't be done, the building is too expensive. It is said that a place as big as the buttocks costs thousands of dollars, and the money we earn a year is enough to buy a few yuan for a place to sit on the buttocks." Wang Cheng shook his head like a rattle, Said: "That's a waste of money, it's better to build a house in my hometown."
Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Wang Zhan didn't know what to say. Could it be that all the young people in this small town have this kind of thinking?
Wang Zhan really couldn't imagine how there would be such a conservative young man in today's era of Internet information explosion.
When everyone is sharpening their heads and heading into the big city, the people in this small town want to live in this backward small town all the time.
"` 々There are not many families in our town who can buy a building in the county. The mayor's son is very powerful. It is said that he has already bought two houses in the county. He is really rich. I dare not fight with that kind of person. Compare."
"Your sister is also very good. Didn't she send money to the family all these years?" Wang Zhan was a little curious.
According to Wang Zhi's income, even in Anlin City, a city with relatively high consumption, it should be enough for her own expenses, and there should be a lot of savings (Li's good), so it's not that she doesn't have a penny. to home.
Based on Wang Zhan's understanding of Wang Zhi, she is not this kind of selfish woman grandson.
"Oh, my sister did send some money to my family, but my father said that the money was for me to marry a wife, and I couldn't use it casually. When my sister came back last year, she also said that my father should use the money to go to the county seat He bought a building here, but the old man refused to do anything.” Wang Cheng shook his head, obviously not understanding his father’s thoughts, “Because it’s my sister who had a fight with my father.”
"You should know why your sister came back this time, right?" Wang Zhan asked, with a curious look on his face.
"Brother Wang, don't you and Miss Murong know? Aren't you here to celebrate my sister's marriage?" Wang Cheng looked at Wang Zhan in doubt.
Chapter 619: I dare not imagine! (kneeling to subscribe)
"Married?" Wang Zhan was taken aback by the other party's words. This is not an exaggeration, but was really taken aback, because Wang Zhan didn't know that the matter would be so serious.
He only knew that Wang Zhi came back this time because of a forced marriage at home, and wanted her to get married quickly.
But Wang Zhan didn't hear that this matter has reached such an emergency, it seems that the wedding will be held soon.
"I just heard that your sister is going to meet her blind date, but I haven't heard that she is going to get married. And as far as I know, she doesn't seem to have even seen her own blind date, right?" Wang Zhan looked surprised and asked Wang Cheng asked.
"This is something arranged by my parents. My sister came back this time to get married. Although my sister seems to dislike this marriage very much, it was decided by my parents. Even if she doesn't want to, there is nothing she can do about it."
"And that family's conditions seem to be good, and they are also relatives to our mayor's family, and they are said to work in the county." Wang Cheng got excited when he mentioned this matter, and seemed to agree with the marriage.
"Didn't your parents listen to your sister's ideas? Your sister may already have someone she likes, so it's not appropriate to do so."
"There's nothing inappropriate. Girls have to marry anyway. It's different who they marry! The girls here are all like this, as long as they can eat enough and wear warmth, let alone they are still in the county. The people inside have pretty good family conditions." Wang Cheng said naturally.
When Wang Zhan heard Wang Cheng's words, his brows were slightly frowned.Although he knew that there were still some relatively backward concepts in some relatively backward places, he did not expect that Wang Zhi's hometown was also backward to such an extent.
In today's social progress, the phenomenon of parents' arranged marriages still exists, and it really happens in front of my own eyes.
No wonder Wang Zhi didn't like to come home, and never mentioned anything about her hometown.
With Wang Zhi's stubborn character, this time, she might have made such a difficult choice only when she was really forced to the point of no other choice.
What is the reason why a woman like Wang Zhi, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, would succumb to this barbaric arranged marriage?
Wang Zhan knew that there must be things he didn't know about, but since Wang Zhi didn't tell him about these things, it must be because of her concerns.
Just when Wang Zhan was immersed in thinking, he had already arrived at the shop in the small town.
This is the largest store in the town, and it is also a three-story building with a small number of people in the town. It is said that it was built with the support of the government's policy at the beginning, and it is used for shopping.
Although the area of this store is not small, with a full [-] square meters, there are really not many types of products, and most of them are snacks that children like, and there are some common cheap vegetables.
You can't see seafood and fish. The only thing that can be considered extravagant is the few common fruits in the innermost.It seems that the items in this store are also in line with the consumption level of the residents in the small town.
Seemingly seeing what Wang Zhan was thinking, Wang Cheng scratched his head and said, "Because everyone doesn't usually go out to buy vegetables, and the people in the mountains never worry about food, but making money is difficult."
"By the way, Brother Wang, you and my sister work together. Isn't your city as big as our county town?" Wang Cheng asked.
"Did your sister never tell you where she works?" Wang Zhan was a little startled. Does this kid not even know what the city his sister works in?
"My sister never told us about her work situation, and she never even mentioned her life there. So I don't know, but I just heard from my parents that it seems to be as lively as the county town." Wang Cheng said excitedly, When mentioning the county seat, he was always very excited.
0 ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"I've been to the county town several times, but the county town is much bigger than our town. Everything is sold, and there are many people and it's lively. Many beautiful girls like to go to the county town.
But those girls don't dress well, either showing their thighs or their backs, and they don't feel ashamed to panic! "Wang Cheng shook his head and sighed when he thought of those girls in the city.
..... 0 ......
"My sister also looks like that when she can't work? That's terrible, girls can't do this."
When Wang Zhan heard what Wang Cheng said, he nodded and said, "Girls in the city do dress more fashionablely, but that doesn't mean they're not good girls. If you sweat from doing farm work on weekdays, you won't be shirtless. "
Although he did not grow up in the countryside, Wang Zhan has also been to the countryside, and he has a better understanding of some habits of rural people.
There is not much attention in the countryside, especially in the hot summer, when men sweat after working, they will take off their upper body clothes and continue to work shirtless.
"But this is different, they are girls, how can they be like that..."
"They didn't really wear any clothes, they just showed some thighs and arms, not any private parts.
They are also human beings, so why do they use such strict standards to ask other girls? "Wang Zhan said.
When Wang Cheng heard these words, he instinctively felt that the truth was different from what he had heard in the past, but he didn't know what was wrong.According to this brother Wang, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this.
"But old people say..." Chuan.
Chapter 620: No matter how powerful you are, you still have to marry someone! (seeking subscription)
"What the old man said is not necessarily correct. In the past, girls were required to bind their feet. That is a bad custom. It is not the same as being spurned and opposed by everyone? Think about it. If it is really bad, why do other places Every girl in the world wears it like this?"
"The city where I live is much larger than your county. It's normal for girls to dress cooler in our place. It's impossible for all girls to have abnormal thoughts, right?" Wang Zhan said with a smile.
Hearing Wang Zhan's words, Wang Cheng widened his eyes, showed an incredulous expression, and said, "It's even bigger than the county seat? Brother Wang, is your place really bigger than our county seat?"
"Of course, ours is not only bigger than your county, but also more lively and prosperous. The buildings there are dozens of stories high, and the roads are much wider than your county. Of course, whether it's fruit or its "[-]" "His basic necessities of life are much better than those in your county."
"That's why your sister is a very powerful girl. She has worked in that city for many years and achieved her own career. It is even more rare that she was born in a place like yours with a relatively backward thinking." Wang Zhan sighed.
Seeing the situation in Wang Zhi's hometown, Wang Zhan felt a little admiration for this woman Wang Zhi from the bottom of his heart.Not only can it become one of the few college students in the town, but it is also a key university.
This was the information that was clearly recorded when Wang Zhan saw Wang Zhi's education background.More importantly, born in such a place with backward thinking, Wang Zhi unexpectedly broke through the prison of thinking with her own ability. This is the most commendable place.
Wang Cheng seemed to be trying to understand the meaning of this big brother Wang's words, but no matter how hard he tried to think, he still didn't know what was so great about his sister.
He only knew that after his elder sister was admitted to university, she went to study in a far away place, which was far away from their county seat, and even far away from Shengsheng.
And since then, my sister seldom goes home, almost only once a year, and only stays for a few days before leaving in a hurry.
This situation has been going on for almost ten years so far. After graduation, my sister regularly sends some money home every year.But how much was sent back, he did not know.
In his opinion, the most remarkable thing about his sister is that he went to another city, the same place as their county. As for what job, what university he went to, and how much money he made every year, he didn't know, and never had thought about it.
But now from the mouth of this big brother Wang, he seems to know that his sister is very powerful, much more powerful than he imagined.
But what is this?
Anyway, my elder sister is getting married, and her life after marriage will be the same as that of other women, serving her husband, having a baby and taking care of her children, and by the way, serving her parents-in-law.
No matter how powerful a woman is, she will end up like this in the end.What's more, my elder sister is almost 30 years old this year, and I put it on other girls in the town. At this time, the children are already in elementary school.
Wang Cheng shook his head, unwilling to think about this complicated issue.
Because Mudu Town is really remote and backward, so you can't buy any rare things.
It would be nice to be able to buy some vegetables and fish that are usually not found on the mountain. In the end, Wang Zhan took the initiative to pay the bill.
When Wang Cheng saw the tens of dollars worth of vegetables in his hand, he felt as if he had taken advantage of it. When he looked at Wang Zhan, his eyes became much closer.
Things worth tens of dollars are nothing to Wang Zhan, but to a family like Wang Cheng, if Wang Zhi's income is not counted, it is not too little.
Even if they invite people to dinner on weekdays, I'm afraid this is the standard at most.
The biggest advantage of a rural house is that it has an independent courtyard, which is very free and spacious.
As soon as the two entered the door, Wang Zhi's mother, who was preparing to kill chickens in the yard, saw them.
"You guys are back. There is nothing to see in our ravine, except that there are many trees and mountains. I heard the girl said that the air in your big city is not good. Maybe this is the only thing we can do better than your city," Wang Zhi said. Mother said with a smile.
"It is indeed much better than the city, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Many rich people like to live in this kind of place." Wang Zhan responded with a smile.
Wang Zhi's mother was a warm and hospitable person, and always greeted Wang Zhan and Murong Xue with smiles.
On the contrary, Wang Zhi's father, who was at the side, had a different expression.
