Chen Yazhi knocked on the ajar door and walked in.
Then he gave Gu Nan a passbook, "Nan Nan, take this money and use it to build the factory. Don't save it. Spend it how you want. Use the best materials."
Gu Nan declined, "Mom, I have money to build a factory. You can sponsor me when I buy machines later."
"Take it, Mom said I'll help you open a factory. Who can spend the money Mom makes if she doesn't give it to you?"
In the past, she and David worked hard to make money and expand their business, just so that they would no longer live in the same poverty as before.
Now, in addition to myself, I also have a son, daughter-in-law, and future grandchildren.
She makes money for them to spend, which makes her feel happier.
Chen Yazhi insisted again and again, and Gu Nan looked at Lu Hao and asked for his opinion.
Lu Hao promised, so Gu Nan had no choice but to take it, "Mom, I will pay it back to you when I make money later."
On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qin Feng and Gu Yating came to meet Lu Hao.
The two of them also packed large and small bags, and Gu Nan also packed a lot of things, and it was hard to stuff them into the trunk.
Lu Hao is going to be on duty today and will go after waiting for them to send them off in the morning.
Because Gu Nan is now twins, Lu Hao is even more reluctant to leave her. From last night to now, he has just kept repeating the same few words, "Nan Nan, put the phone away, and be sure to call at any time."
Gu Nan nodded obediently, "Remember, I will call you and mom."
After Lu Hao finished telling Gu Nan, he started to tell the old man, "Grandpa, you too, if you feel unwell on the way, tell Nan Nan in time."
The eldest grandson, who had always been taciturn, suddenly became nagging. Mr. Lu responded impatiently, "I know, I know, don't be a mother-in-law anymore."
Gu Nan and Qin Feng had to alternate driving along the way. Qin Feng was familiar with the road conditions, so he and Gu Nan sat in front. Gu Nan drove and he showed the way.
Under the watch of Lu Hao and Chen Yazhi, Santana drove towards the road.
When the car was out of sight, Chen Yazhi said to Lu Hao, "Xiao Hao, go to work quickly."
"Mom, I'm leaving then. You and Uncle David should go back to the house. It's cold outside."
As soon as Lu Hao left, David helped Chen Yazhi into the house.
Chen Yazhi looked back at the direction of the car.
A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
The place where Lu Hao grew up should also be the place where she lives.
The funny thing is that she never even had a chance to see it in her life.
There was no chance before, and there is no need now.
After Gu Nan had been driving for more than an hour, Qin Feng took over.
Qin Feng had learned to drive when he was in the police academy. Yesterday at Gu's house, he even drove Gu Lan's car to get a feel for it.
He said to the people in the car, "The road ahead is quite bumpy. Everyone, please sit tight."
"It's okay. No matter how bumpy it is, can the shuttle bus be bumpy?"
Mr. Lu said this, but still told Gu Yating and Gu Nan to sit close to the seats to avoid jolting.
Qin Feng drove very slowly. It was New Year's Eve and the shuttle bus didn't run. They were the only car on the desolate road.
A farm vehicle passed by in half a day.
Gu Yating looked out the car window at the desolate scenery retreating.
His expression became serious.
Gu Nan said to her,
"Yating, the trees are all bare and ugly this season, but in spring and summer, our place is really beautiful."
Mr. Lu also said, "Yes, when the leaves are green, the mountains and clear waters are beautiful, and it is much more comfortable than staying in the city."
Gu Yating smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good now. Every season has its own characteristics."
She didn't mean to dislike Qin Feng's hometown. She was just thinking that the place where Gu Nan lived since she was a child was really difficult.
If she were in the city, she would definitely be admitted to university and have a very good future.
It's a more than three-hour drive, and it's relatively easy for two people to drive alternately.
It's just that there is no navigation these days. It's easy to go wrong when encountering forks in the road. It all depends on human memory.
Qin Feng has taken the bus several times a month for the past six months, and he remembers the route very well.
Therefore, the journey went smoothly, and by about 11 o'clock at noon, the car had entered Longshan County.
Gu Nan asked Qin Feng, "Fengzi, does Auntie know you are going back? Is she at home or in the store?"
Qin Feng replied, "I'm at home today. There's no one on the street during the Chinese New Year. I won't open the door again in a few days. My mother is waiting for us at home."
After arriving in Longshan County, Gu Nan suggested having some food first. Qin Feng said that he had called his mother in the morning and would prepare food for everyone to eat at home.
Just like that, the car drove into the town.
The development of Panshi Town is not as good as that of the city, but it is definitely full of flavor.
When they arrived in the town, a Taiping Drum performance was being held in the town. The drums were beating loudly, and aunts from various villages were performing Yangko on the street.
The street was full of people and Santana couldn't drive in, so Gu Nan had to honk the horn.
People on the street saw a car approaching and gathered around to see the novelty.
Finally, a person who looked like a cadre came out to direct the traffic and asked the crowd to retreat to both sides to make way for Santana.
Gu Yating had never seen such a lively street. She rolled down the car window and leaned her head out of the car window to watch the Taiping Drum performance on the street. "Wow, the street is so lively."
Seeing Gu Yating's novel look, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Yes, there will be these shows in the first month of every year. We will watch them every year in the future."
As the car drove into his hometown town, Mr. Lu's mood became beautiful.
He also poked his head and looked at the aunt on the street who was holding a fan, wearing green and red clothes and a painted face, and said with a smile, "Look, isn't our rural area more lively than the city? What is there in the city?"
Ah, I have been sitting at home all day eating and drinking, and I have indigestion."
Material civilization has been developed, but spiritual civilization has not existed at all.
Their rural areas are so nice. Even if they live in poverty, they are still happy. They are happy to be poor.
With people watching, Santana drove with difficulty to the entrance of the alley where Qin Feng's house was.
Qin Feng's mother was already waiting there.
When I saw the car, I quickly ran over.
Gu Yating was still a little nervous when she met her future mother-in-law for the first time.
She brushed her hair and straightened the corners of her off-white coat.
Qin Feng had already opened the door and got out of the car.
"Mom, we are back."
Qin Feng's mother gathered around and it was obvious that she was looking forward to meeting her future daughter-in-law.
Gu Nan got out of the driver's seat and said, "Auntie, are you in a hurry?"
"Nan Nan, are you back too?"
Qin Feng's mother was talking to her, but her attention was on the back seat.
Then, Mr. Lu also got out of the car.
"Uncle, are you back too?"
Gu Yating sat on the right side of the old man. There was a wall on that side and it was difficult to open the door. She could only wait for Mr. Lu to get off the car before she got down.
Gu Yating got out of the car with a handbag in her hand and an off-white coat.
Qin Feng introduced to his mother, "Mom, this is Ya Ting."
Qin Feng's mother was so happy that she didn't know what to say when she saw her son bringing back such a beautiful girl.
Hearing that Qin Feng was a teacher, she felt both happy and worried at the same time.
Her Fengzi doesn't have a formal job now, and she is really afraid that the girl will dislike him.
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Gu Yating, and I am Qin Feng's partner." After introducing herself, she glanced at Gu Nan with a smile and continued, "I am also Nan Nan's cousin."
Qin Feng's mother was enthusiastic but shy, "Hello, hello, Ya Ting, are you tired along the way? Let's go home with auntie."
She then said to Mr. Lu and Gu Nan, "Uncle, you and Nan Nan should go home for dinner quickly. I'm ready. You must go home today."
Gu Nan had no choice but to lock the car, take a box of milk from the trunk, and go to Qin Feng's house with his grandfather.
There are two old men sitting at the entrance of the alley sunbathing. They are coming to see what you are doing. Qin Feng took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to them.
