I am financially free

Chapter 114, Guling Village (15)

Open the screen with fingerprint unlock, and the mobile phone signal in the upper right corner is full.

Although it is a mountainous area, thanks to the national and regional support policies and "border construction" and other measures, this place is no longer the kind of completely barren ravine with isolated signals and no roads.

After flipping through his address book and dialing Liu Wei's phone number, Jiang Chen leaned against the car door, looked at the sign at the intersection and asked with a smile:
"I'll be there soon. I'm at the entrance of Gulingshan Road now. What do you say?"

Gulingshan Road is the only emerging route to Guling Village, Liu Wei's hometown. Drive up this road with fixed buses for more than ten kilometers. After passing through many forked roads, you can see the full picture of Liu Wei's hometown.

"Just wait there for a moment, and I'll get you an orange!"

Liu Wei's delighted voice came, revealing his full excitement.

He has always been a very careful person. As early as six o'clock in the morning, when Jiang Chen gave him a preview of the process, he rode his mountain bike and set off an hour early.Guling Mountain Road is composed of a public road in the first half and a pure mountain road of several kilometers in the second half.

For Liu Wei, who was picking up the passengers, the positions before and after were naturally reversed. Even though the distance difference was three or four times, the ruggedness and difficulty of the mountain road made it difficult for Jiang Chen’s big G to be used except for bicycles. It may not be possible to control it.

More than ten minutes later, Liu Wei, whose feet were spinning fast, and Jiang Chen, who hadn't seen each other for many days, finally met. After a long-lost kiss, Liu Wei folded his bicycle at Jiang Chen's suggestion and put it on the big bike. G's back seat.

Quling City, Guling Village... In this age of comprehensively entering a well-off society, the people here have no worries about food and clothing. Compared with other similar impoverished counties and Shangougou, it is not the worst place to look at. Plant a small mountain village.

"Resigning now?"

Liu Wei rolled down the window and watched the small minibus pass by Jiang Chen's big G. It was now the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Considering Jiang Chen's return trip, besides this reason, Liu Wei Can't think of any possible situation.

"You still guessed it correctly!"

Jiang Chen turned the steering wheel, trying to be steady and said:

"Not to mention this, but from what I saw along the way, the development here at your home is much better than expected. Has there been any major changes here in the few years since you didn't go home?"

"Variety!?"

Liu Wei smiled bitterly at Jiang Chen's inquiry and said with seriousness:
"Do you know why I ride a bicycle? The few kilometers of mountain roads in the second half of the journey are difficult to describe. Let's just park the car at the station later."

"It's only a few kilometers away. We'll be there soon after walking."

When he arrived at the station and saw a little of Liu Wei's hometown, Jiang Chen felt numb.

Leaving aside the most modern telephone poles and the windows of every house, perhaps the best-built buildings in this backward mountain village are the station and that "road"?
Liu Wei had a complicated expression, and his reaction to Jiang Chen was as expected.

In fact... the topography and undulations of Liu Wei's hometown Guling Village are not the worst among the Qinling Mountains, but even so, mountain roads are mountain roads, and he did not dare to let Jiang Chen go to those relatively narrow and undulating places. Take the risk and drive up there in that big G.

We got off the car and walked towards Guling Village under the guidance of Liu Wei. The only thing worth mentioning along the way was the scenery, which can be described as breathtakingly beautiful - except for mountains and trees, there were mountains, rivers and trees, which could not be seen at a glance...

The road we just walked on is considered a road around mountains, and Quling City still has some thoughts on supporting these backward small villages.

It’s just that there were too many trees on the Guling side and the soil impurities were difficult to clean. Over time, after two-thirds of the Guling mountain road was built, the village route, which required huge sums of money and greater manpower and energy, was shelved. Come down.

With large and small packages of gifts in his hands, Jiang Chen finally understood Liu Wei's instructions.No wonder he was told not to bring gifts, not to bring presents, co-authoring is not a question of whether or not, but a question of how easy it is to get it!Jiang Chen was dumbfounded...

However, we were half chatting and half driving along the way, and the few kilometers passed by talking and laughing.

"Xiao Wei! Xiao Wei!"

Just as he was thinking about how to face Liu Wei's parents later, an uncle came over carrying a heavy pole.

After gaining a basic understanding of him through Liu Wei's introduction, Jiang Chen smiled and stretched out his hand, holding his calloused palm.

The old man is Liu Wei's father, Liu Dingjun.Due to the different generations, the names of the older generation often overlap with nouns such as Jianguo, Dingjun, and Guofeng. For no other reason than the beautiful hope of national development, prosperity, and prosperity.

He has a somewhat bent back. He is in his 50s and is the most honest farmer in Qinling.

However, because the previous generation had read more or less books, they were also relatively enlightened people under the influence of their predecessors’ thoughts.

Coupled with good luck, he finally reached this generation, just in time to catch up with the preferential education policy and the enlightenment of the volunteer teacher in the village... He was cruel, gritted his teeth, and sent Liu Wei to college through a lot of tricks.

Fortunately, Liu Wei's academic performance was very good, and he was basically free of tuition and received scholarships in college. During the past four years, not only did he not spend a penny from his family, but he got a lot of money back.It is an undoubted fact that the better the university, the richer the scholarships and the more favorable policies in all aspects.

"Xiaochen, right? I heard Xiaowei often mention you on the phone. When you come here, you treat it as your own home..."

(I won’t write the native dialect here. Simultaneous interpretation is not necessary. Funny jpg)
Speaking a native dialect full of Qinling flavor, Jiang Chen tried hard to discern his encrypted content, but was unable to do so, and had to have Liu Wei act as a translator to barely be able to converse.

The backwardness of Guling Village is indeed beyond Jiang Chen's imagination:

Not to mention the semi-stone-paved village roads along the way, this unique architectural style bungalow at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains made Jiang Chen sigh inwardly and couldn't help but admire Liu Wei for reaching such a point.

Originally, the Liu family actually had two sons, but the eldest son was in poor health when he was born, resulting in his early death at the age of seven or eight.

Liu Wei in the back is the most precious treasure that combines the fatherly and motherly love of the old couple.

The pride and pride that could be felt despite the language barrier made Jiang Chen's lips unconsciously raise a smile.

Along the way, Liu Dingjun would say hello to everyone he met. Jiang Chen, whose dressing style was eye-catching, would also become the center of attention in such a situation, causing a lot of discussion.

There are thousands of people and hundreds of households in the village, and it is not a big place. Something happened in the old Liu family about a college student in a big city. Now everyone in the village knows about it, and it will inevitably cause a commotion every time he comes back.

As a role model, this trendy friend brought by Liu Wei is very normal for everyone to pay special attention to.

　I just finished drinking and got some inspiration. I wonder if you have seen a movie in which the male protagonist was born in a mountain village and later successfully won the Mathematical Olympiad championship under the guidance of a teacher...

　　This is considered Liu Wei's prototype...

　　ps: The next chapter will end with a foreshadowing...
