Hexagonal God

Chapter 79 Hometown
At Su Mo's request, the host streamlined the process, and then the singer came up to sing two songs, and then the meal began.

The 888 banquet is definitely a good one in the city of Lindu. Paired with Laobai Fenjiu and hard-packed Zhonghua liquor, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

However, everyone ate lunch quite quickly, and by around 12 o'clock, most people had left.

At one o'clock, all the guests had basically left, leaving only his family members. Su Mo's graduation banquet ended successfully.

My uncle Su Jianye, my third uncle Su Jianhua, and Su Jiancheng all stayed. They were all going back to their hometown to help their grandfather weed.

The three of them, plus Su Qiang, are the main labor force for this work.

Su Qiang originally thought that he and Su Jiancheng would go back together, but he didn't expect Su Jiancheng to come to the Jetta and call Su Mo over.

"Son, don't you want to go back with Dad? Get in the car and go together."

Unexpectedly, Su Mo shook his head and said, "You guys go first. I'll go buy something for grandpa, and then I'll go over there myself."

Uncle Su Jianhua smiled and said, "Xiaomo, you still remember to buy things for grandpa. You are quite filial. But you should save your pocket money for school. We have brought some food for your grandpa. Let's go together. Uncle San's car can carry things."

Su Mo took a look at his uncle's Toyota Highlander, which contained a bucket of white wine and two roast chickens, and shook his head slightly.

"No, your car won't fit."

Su Jianhua was stunned: "What do you want to buy? Can't my car fit it?"

Su Mo did not answer this question, but left and went to a commercial district in Lindu.

Su Jianhua was a little unhappy: "This kid, what can he buy with his pocket money? My car can't even fit it. He's being so distant with me."

Su Jiancheng snorted: "Children have their own ideas when they grow up. Let him be. Let's go and not wait for him."

Su Mo ignored the things happening here and hired a small truck nearby. He negotiated the price and it cost three hundred yuan to go to Guanghui Forest Farm.

Su Mo gave him five hundred directly and asked him to go to several places to buy things, and then the driver helped to move the things.

The driver happily agreed, and then Su Mo went to a nearby shopping mall, bought a freezer, and asked the workers to load it into the truck.

After buying a freezer, I went to the meat wholesale section of the market, chose a freshly slaughtered cow, and bought 100 kilograms of steak and beef.

He bought another twenty pork elbows and fifty pig's trotters, loaded them into the truck, and headed straight for a winery in Lindu.

Grandpa loves to drink liquor, and he only likes strong loose liquor. Su Mo directly filled ten fifty-jin jars with sixty-proof sorghum liquor at fifty yuan per jin. They had been stored for more than ten years, otherwise they would not be sold so expensively.

These 500 kilograms of liquor are worth 25,000 yuan.

But this was nothing to Su Mo, as he filled the truck to the brim.

Finally, I bought twenty packs of soft Zhonghua cigarettes at a tobacco wholesaler. All these things cost less than 50,000 yuan, which was really a bargain.

This is how you should buy gifts for grandpa. He doesn’t like or need fancy things. The old man loves to eat meat, smoke and drink. He is busy all year round and is in very good health.

In order to prevent things from going bad, Su Mo even bought a freezer.

The considerate eldest grandson sat in the passenger seat of the truck and headed to the forest farm in his hometown.

It is more than 60 kilometers from Lindu to Guanghui Forest Farm.

Forty kilometers of the road are provincial roads, and the road conditions are pretty good, but the remaining twenty kilometers are worse, especially the last ten kilometers, which are mountain roads. It is a torture for cars to drive on the road.

If it is raining, the road will be full of mud and puddles, and most cars will stay away.

Fortunately, it didn’t rain in the past two days, so the road was dry. Although it was bumpy, it was still drivable.

As the car drove through the mountains, Su Mo looked at the familiar scenery around him and his mood improved.

The rich greenery and fragrance of flowers around him, as well as the Fairy River winding down from upstream, made Su Mo feel like he was back home.

After more than an hour's drive, we finally arrived at Guanghui Forest Farm.

Compared to the mountain roads outside, the road conditions here are pretty good, and the car drove all the way to the door of the old house.

Dad's Jetta and third uncle's Highlander were both parked at the door.

Su Mo stopped the car, asked the driver to honk the horn, and started unloading the goods.

Soon, Su Jiancheng and several others came out of the house.

Grandpa Su Qingshan also came out with his hands behind his back, and smiled when he saw Su Mo.

"My grandson has become successful, taller, and a handsome young man. He's better than all of you when you were young."

Su Mo came to his grandfather's side. Su Qingshan was sixty-five years old, but he looked like he was in his fifties.

The water and air here are good, the food is organic, and I exercise regularly, so it's hard to be in bad health.

"Grandpa, I bought you some delicious food, cigarettes and alcohol."

"Okay, okay, my grandson has grown up, and I want to enjoy his blessing too."

Everyone was shocked when Su Qiang and the driver moved things downstairs.

Ten fifty-jin jars, a total of five hundred jin of liquor. The old man opened a jar and smelled it, his eyebrows raised with joy.

"Good wine! It's old, it must have cost a lot of money."

"It's not much money, Grandpa, I also bought you some meat."

Large pieces of beef steaks, pig's trotters and elbows were unloaded in piles, and then there was a large freezer.

"There's no place to store these things in the summer, so buy a freezer and freeze them. You can take them out and eat them whenever you want."

When the last twenty soft Zhonghua cigarettes were taken out, both my uncle and my third uncle were shocked.

"These things will cost around 40,000 or 50,000 yuan."

"Second brother, why did you give Xiaomo so much money? It's really bold for a kid to spend money."

Su Jiancheng shook his head, and couldn't help but show pride on his face: "I don't have that much money to give him. He earned it all by himself."

"What? He's only eighteen! How did he make so much money?"

"I think it was a commercial for the British to sell clothes. I'm not sure about the details."

Su Jianhua couldn't help but ask Su Mo: "Xiao Mo, did you really go to shoot a commercial? Is this money clean?"

Su Mo's face was calm: "If Third Uncle is worried that it's not clean, then you don't have to eat it."

"How can this kid talk like that? I'm just worried that you'll make a mistake."

Su Mo didn't say anything and followed his grandfather into the house.

Compared with Su Jianhua and others, Grandpa Su Qingshan's reaction was relatively calm. After all, he was such an old man and had seen a lot of things.

Since his grandson bought it, it proves that he doesn't need the money, so he can just accept it with peace of mind.

As for where the money came from, he was not worried. Su Mo had good behavior since childhood and would not do anything stupid.

Afterwards, Su Jiancheng and several others were busy cooking. They used the meat that Su Mo brought, including ten pounds of steak and five pounds of beef brisket, and stewed a full pot.

Burn the dry firewood, add some green onions and ginger, and soon the yard will be filled with the aroma of meat.

Su Jiancheng pulled a few onions from the vegetable garden in the yard and picked some cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes.

Vegetarian smashed cucumber and tomatoes mixed with sugar.

Add some sugar, salt, seafood sauce and MSG to the green onions and chili peppers and mix them into a tiger dish.

When the vegetables are ready, take the steak out of the pan and eat it with chives.

These original, pollution-free vegetables, combined with eating meat, are truly a great enjoyment in life.

Su Qingshan opened a jar of wine, and Su Mo was also allowed to drink, after all, they were all eighteen years old.

Su Qingshan took a sip of wine and sighed slightly.

"I started working at the age of 20 as a forest ranger. I've traveled all over the surrounding mountains, and our area is the best. It's a pity that if this place is evacuated, I won't be able to stay any longer. I really can't bear to leave."

"What's good about it? It's a poor mountainous area with bad water. There's no harvest in years of disaster." Su Jianhua complained. He didn't like life in the mountains.

"Why is it bad? Who can control a disaster? At least the air is good, the water is good, there are mountains and rivers, hot springs and waterfalls, you've been eating fish from the lake halfway up the mountain since you were young, the things grown on the land are good too, the fruit on the trees is sweeter than what you can buy outside. My father lived to be ninety-eight and still had good hearing and eyesight, but he died of natural causes. Now, after a few days of eating food in the city, you're forgetting your roots?"

Su Qingshan scolded his third son a few times, but Su Jianhua was still unconvinced and changed the subject: "Dad, don't be reluctant to leave this old house. I heard that if we evacuate here, our land and this house can be exchanged for a commercial house in the county town. Then you can move in and enjoy a good life."

"I don't care about commercial housing. Living in a birdcage can suffocate me to death. I'd rather go to a nursing home."

Uncle Su Jianye wanted to speak, but thinking of his aunt, he didn't dare to say anything.

Uncle San picked up the glass and drank without responding to the conversation.

Su Qiang wanted to say something, but he was powerless.

Su Jiancheng thought for a moment and said, "If our family moves away, Dad can come and live in Bingcheng with me if he doesn't mind."

Su Qingshan shook his head slightly: "No, Xiaomo has gone to school, why would an old man like me go there? I'll just stay here and decide when this place is evacuated."

Su Qiang spoke again at this time: "If I had money, I would buy this whole area. Then the mountains, half-mountain lake, fairy waterfall, hot springs, and fairy river here would all be ours. How wonderful that would be."

Su Jianhua scoffed, "You're dreaming! Regardless of whether it's a corporate purchase or an individual contract, this area is too vast for most people to afford. Besides, there are still quite a few households in the village. Will you relocate them? Even though there aren't many people here now, once you do, everyone from outside will come back, which will cost another fortune. And then there's the elderly; resettlement will be a problem."

Su Jianye also scolded his son: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Not to mention what your uncle said, there are also those farmers who raise cattle, sheep, and pigs. They will all be charged when the time comes. There are also fruit trees and pine forests. They can't be moved at all."

Su Jiancheng also nodded: "The more important thing is to build a road. If this area is contracted out to an individual or developed by a company, the government will definitely not be responsible for the road leading into the mountain, and building a road is the biggest expense."

Several people were talking at the same time, completely blocking this road. Su Qiang stopped talking. He was just talking casually. It was simply unrealistic without a lot of money.

Only Su Mo didn't say anything. He was really moved.
