Chapter 442 442. The Old House
442. Old house
After checking here, regarding Zhao Xiaoling's life experience, it doesn't matter whether she goes to Zhaojiagou or not, but Jiang's father and son still want to go to Zhaojiagou to see where Zhao Xiaoling lived from childhood to adulthood.

From the commune to Zhaojiagou, there is no car road, only a twisted and narrow mountain road, so we can only walk.

Fortunately, all of them except Jiang Guo were soldiers. Jiang Guo was often taken to the barracks by his father to exercise since he was a child, so it was no problem to walk more than 30 kilometers of mountain roads.

While walking, Luo Daqing introduced the situation in Zhaojiagou. Zhao Xiaoling went to elementary school and had to go to Dacun, more than ten kilometers away, so she had to run more than 20 kilometers every day when she left early and returned at night. More than 60 kilometers of road.

The high school is going to the county seat, and the distance is more than 60 kilometers on one side.

All these distances are all on foot, so a girl has to pay more to go to school than other children who live near the commune or the county seat.

Just thinking about this, the Jiang family father and son felt heavy in their hearts.

When they arrived at Zhaojiagou, a village deep in the mountains, it was more remote and lonely than they had imagined.

Here, like a corner forgotten by the world, dozens of families are crowded in a depression, surrounded by towering mountains like clouds, living in such a village, just looking up at these dark mountains makes one feel depressing .

The roads in the village are paved with uneven stones, and some houses are directly built with stone walls.This can be regarded as local materials!Because there are many rocks here, the land is barren, and the harvest is not good.

In this remote and closed village, it is rare for an outsider to come all year round. When one finally comes, the people in the village watch it like a gorilla.

As soon as Luo Daqing and his group entered the village, they were chased by a group of children. There were more and more children, and even adults followed them to look at them curiously.

Arriving in front of a dilapidated house, Luo Daqing said: "This is Zhao Xiaoling's house, but they sold the house to someone else two years ago."

Now that you're here, let's go in and have a look!
Luo Daqing knocked on the door, and someone came out to answer the door. He was a man in his 40s, but he seemed to be in his 60s. People in the mountains get married early, and his three sons are all in their 20s. Because the house was small, That's why I bought Zhao Xiaoling's house. The original house was divided between the eldest son and the second son. In this house, the old couple and the youngest son lived together.

Luo Daqing explained the purpose of his visit, saying that he wanted to visit the house where Zhao Xiaoling used to live.

The current homeowners readily agreed and let them in.

When a group of people entered, the house seemed very crowded.

Jiang's father and son looked at this dilapidated, old, small, dirty, and dark house. They couldn't imagine that a bright and elegant person with a bright smile had lived in such an environment for 16 years.

It takes a pair of strong vitality to live like it is today.

Such living conditions made Jiang Xiaodong feel so guilty that he could hardly breathe.

Back then, why couldn't he check it carefully before making a conclusion!

Because of his negligence, he lost his beloved wife and missed the happy time with his daughter for 17 years.

Let her daughter suffer for so many years in this backward small mountain village.

Luo Daqing handed the homeowner a cigarette, and asked him about Zhao Xiaoling's life from childhood to adulthood.
