"Comrade Zhou, should we go directly to Liujia Temple? Do you want to take a look around the county seat?"
The driver looked in the rearview mirror and said softly.
Speaking of which, this person was not hired by Zhou Ziqin with money.
Gu Qingcheng was sure that Zhou Ziqin was going to Liujiamiao, so he called the county diesel engine factory and asked the factory leaders to help pick him up.
Since we have to pick up people, we naturally can’t do it empty-handed or ride a bicycle.
The leader was very grateful to Expert Gu. The diesel engine incident not only made the diesel engine factory appear in the province, but also made it famous nationwide.
Such a great honor was brought by Expert Gu.
Expert Gu finally spoke up, and it was not a matter of principle. The leader was very willing to help.
"Then drive the jeep in the factory over!"
The leader slapped his forehead and made a decision.
Zhou Ziqin knew her husband's arrangement and felt very happy.
However, she has money, and she is not a person who likes to take advantage.
When they met, she told the driver, "After all, this is our private matter and we cannot take advantage of the public."
"Let's see, we'll pay for the gas ourselves!"
While talking, Zhou Ziqin asked Wei Ma to give the driver a pack of cigarettes.
When the driver saw this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: Oh, big front door!
A box costs only 12 cents!
The key is that in a small county like theirs, even supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores cannot buy it.
Expert Gu is great, and his family members are also open-minded!
The driver originally just followed the leader's assignment to do a job, and it was hard to say whether he was happy or not.
However, the moment he received the cigarette, he was happy.
Not to mention, they are willing to pay for gas.
When you get along with people who are good at doing things and generous, even if you don't get much benefit, you will feel happy.
Therefore, the driver was more enthusiastic towards Zhou Ziqin.
He is from the county town and knows this place very well.
With foreign guests, the driver is very active in promoting his hometown.
"...Although our place is not big, it is an ancient city with a long history."
"There is an ancient city wall on the west side of the city. I heard it is more than a thousand years old."
"In addition, the snacks we have here are also very special! Comrade Zhou can try them."
Zhou Ziqin:......
Zhou Ziqin was not flattered by the driver's enthusiasm.
She listened with a smile and expressed her gratitude, but still declined politely, "Let's go to the Liu Family Temple first."
"My wife misses home, and I also want to see my parents-in-law as soon as possible!"
When the driver heard what Zhou Ziqin said, he didn't want to persuade him any more, so he responded, stepped on the accelerator, and the little jeep went to Liujiamiao.
The county seat is still about 20 kilometers away from Liujia Temple.
The road conditions were not very good, but the drive was still relatively fast, and we arrived at our destination in less than an hour.
"Huh? Do you have a car?"
"Is the leader here?"
"Oh, the county leaders are here, go and call the village chief."
"...No, what are the leaders of the county doing in our Liu Family Temple?"
"Then who knows. If not the leader, who can ride in the car?"
It is now the peak of farming, and the fields are full of people working hard.
They heard the noise, looked up, and spotted the little Jeep.
These days, bicycles are at the "luxury car" level, let alone cars.
Although the little Jeep looks a bit old, it is a car.
Oil-burning guy!
Not to mention in Liujiamiao, it is very rare even in the county town.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was almost the first time for the villagers of Liujiamiao to see a small jeep in front of their homes!
They instinctively go
Think about the leaders.
"Leader? Where is the leader?"
There were no production brigades these days, and the land was still owned by the family.
The village chief also has to work on his own land.
When he heard the noise, he ignored his work. The village chief picked up his shoes and hurried over.
The little jeep parked under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and was quickly surrounded by people.
"Oh, this is a car!"
"It looks so impressive!"
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen a car." .z.
"Erdan, you bastard, don't touch it! If it breaks, I won't even be able to pay for it if I sell you!"
The villagers were curious, talking, pointing and chattering.
There were also a few naughty children who stretched out their hands, eager to try.
The adults hurriedly yelled: "I can't afford to pay!" I really can’t afford the compensation!
Gu's mother also heard the commotion and ran with a group of middle-aged and elderly women to watch the fun.
The old lady who had fought with Mother Gu again, when she saw her, she deliberately made trouble:
"Oh, Qingcheng's mother, your Qingcheng is so capable, does he also take a car?"
When Gu's mother heard someone provoking her, she immediately entered a "fighting" state.
She raised her chin high, "Of course! My family in Qingcheng has a car."
She wasn't bragging. Not only had she seen the car that her daughter-in-law brought with her, she had also ridden in it.
Tsk, it’s shiny and looks impressive.
And the seat is soft and comfortable to sit on.
"At home? Haha, it should be his wife from Qingcheng who is marrying him, right?"
"It would be nice to marry a capitalist lady, she even has a car."
The old lady who flirted with her first said something sinister.
Her emotions were very complicated. On the one hand, she despised Gu Qingcheng, a pretty boy who was just a freeloader.
On the other hand, she was extremely jealous and envious!
Wow, why isn't her son lucky enough to marry a rich wife?
Not to mention cars, there is no sign of bicycles.
After spending dozens of dollars in betrothal gifts, she was given two quilts as a dowry, and she showed them off to the whole village.
The old lady had completely forgotten that when her daughter-in-law got married with a new quilt, she was so proud that she boasted about it to the villagers.
What a pity, people are afraid of comparison!
I once thought that it would be great for my daughter-in-law to have a new quilt as a dowry.
Unexpectedly, when Gu Qingcheng married a daughter-in-law, not only did he not spend a penny in gifts, but he also asked her to come with a house and a car...
"Hmph! What's wrong with having money? There must be something wrong with that capitalist lady. She can't get married, so she's looking for Gu Qingcheng."
The old lady could only think so.
Gu’s mother:…
She has always been fierce, but it only took a moment for her to get stuck.
She quickly found her voice: "It is also my son's ability to marry a wife who can marry a car."
"Besides, my son is not just a car with his daughter-in-law, he is an expert. When he goes on business trips, he is also picked up and dropped off by people from his workplace!"
This is not bragging.
Gu's mother didn't just hear it from hearsay, she had personally experienced her son's expert treatment.
"The diesel engine factory in our county, you know!"
"Huh, my son came back last year and drew a random drawing for them, and they treated him like an expert."
"I stayed in a guest house and ate expert meals. Even my family members benefited from it."
Gu's mother became more confident when she mentioned these past experiences she had personally experienced.
"The county's diesel engine factory? Humph, you, just blow it!"
The old lady didn't believe it at all.
Not only her, but the villagers who were watching the excitement heard the conversation between the two and felt that Gu's mother was bragging.
yes!
They admitted that Gu Qingcheng was indeed the most promising young man in their Liu family temple.
However, no matter how promising he is, he will just be a college student and work as a teacher in school after graduation.
They had never seen Gu Qingcheng's awesomeness with their own eyes, so naturally they couldn't imagine it.
Gu's mother was a well-known shrew and shrew in the village. The villagers seriously suspected that this old lady deliberately made up lies in order to brag about her son.
Mother Gu: ...who is bragging?
Who is making up lies?
My son is really an expert, he is on a business trip in the grassland right now!
For a moment, Gu's mother regretted that she should not have stopped people from the village from going to the capital in the past year.
As long as they go to the capital and see the courtyard where their daughter-in-law was married, as well as the way their son was being escorted back and forth, they will know that she, Gu Chen, is not lying!
"Oh, forget it, it's better not to let them go. Xiaoqin's hands are too loose, so she won't be able to take advantage of outsiders."
Mother Gu is not a person who pretends to be fat.
As someone who came from poverty, she naturally values the latter more than face.
Why did she become a shrew? Why did she have such a quarrel with her husband's family? Wasn't it because of money?
For a mouthful of rice, for a penny, Gu's mother would give up her face.
Now that her son has become successful, Gu's mother wants to show off, but this is also based on the fact that her own interests cannot be compromised.
"The same goes for Xiaoqin. Didn't you say that you have already booked the tickets? Considering the time, it should be here by now."
"I said I was going to pick him up at the station, but this kid just didn't agree."
"...Hey, she will bring a lot of things when she comes back this time, right?"
"Actually, there's no need to bring anything with me. It'll be nice if she can come back."
"How good-looking our Qingcheng daughter-in-law is. She looks like the eldest daughter of a wealthy family."
"Humph, when Xiaoqin comes back, I will take her around the village to prevent those people from saying nonsense nonsense!"
Mother Gu thought to herself while bickering with the old ladies around her.
She didn't connect the car at the entrance of the village to her daughter-in-law at all.
At this time, the village chief had already reached the little Jeep. He reached out and grabbed the collar of a naughty child, "Go! Let's play together!"
"Give way! Give way, everyone!"
"This car is very expensive. If it gets damaged, our village will be sold and we won't be able to afford the compensation!"
The village chief not only drove away the naughty children, but also told the villagers to stay back.
Villagers: ...the village chief’s words sound so familiar.
"Haha, the village chief thinks we are all those disobedient brats!"
The villagers laughed loudly and backed away, finally leaving some space.
The village chief then came to the car, smiled and said attentively, "I am the village chief of Liujiamiao, I don't know which leader -"
Before the village chief finished speaking, the car door was opened.
An old lady in her fifties got out of the car. She had her hair in a neat bun and wore a blue gown with a slanted front. She looked very energetic.
The village chief rushed to greet him.
However, before the village chief could speak, the old lady went around to the other side and opened the car door.
Zhou Ziqin got out of the car, and the village chief and the surrounding villagers breathed in subconsciously.
Mother Gu even shouted in surprise, "Qingcheng wife?!"
