Chapter 952 Going Home (7000 words)(2/3)

In the city, having just finished eating, Uncle Zhou drove his tractor slowly, stopping from time to time when he encountered pedestrians crossing the road.

Some people also wanted to hitchhike and asked where they were going, but they were all rejected.

Ye Yaodong sat in the car and thought for a while. He thought that since he had come here, he couldn't just go shopping in one or two streets. This trip to the province was also to bring A Guang and others out to see the world. Of course, it would be best to visit all the provinces.

Walk around and see all the lively places.

Walking takes time, so taking a car is fine. They are just taking a look anyway, wandering around for a few hours and then going back. It is not a problem to get home before dark.

Before leaving the city, he discussed it with others.

Only if you see everything you need to see before going back will your trip be worthwhile.

Of course, everyone agreed and we have come. It would be a pity to leave now. We already arrived quite late yesterday.

Since he had no objection, he told Uncle Zhou to walk around the city, first visiting the edge areas, and then going to the main streets.

There are still few people in the early morning now, and there will be more people on the streets around 7 or 8 o'clock. If you take a walk around and see the lively scene, you can go back around 7 or 8 o'clock.

You had to ask for directions intermittently when you came here, but you don't need to ask so frequently when you go back. You should be able to get home when the sun goes down.

Of course Uncle Zhou has no objection to taking people's money and doing things with them. Fortunately, he hasn't left the city yet.

They circled around the city again, sitting on the tractor and craning their necks to look outside. It was just like sightseeing, and they didn't need to go down to stroll around. It was very convenient and save trouble.

As the sun rises, more and more people are active on the streets.

In October, the sun is still very hot, so most people come out for activities in the early morning when the sun is not yet strong. When it is almost noon, there will be fewer people, and then there will be more people when the sun sets in the west.

The time they spent sightseeing yesterday afternoon was similar to the time they spent sightseeing this morning. It was considered the time when there were the most people in the city.

Several people were lying on the edge of the raised wood, watching with great interest all the way, pointing to this building and that building with their index fingers and discussing back and forth.

Ye Yaodong held his camera and took a picture of what interested him. Some old towns will no longer be seen in the future. If you take a picture now, it will be an important material to keep in the future.

The development of the times can also be proved under his camera.

A Guang felt a little itchy when he saw him taking photos non-stop along the way. He wanted to buy a camera yesterday but failed to do so. All the electronic products for sale require tickets. When he went home, he planned to go to some alleys in the town.

Li Tao doesn’t need a ticket for the camera.

"Would you like to lend me a couple of pictures?"

"Didn't I take two pictures of you and your father at the entrance of the department store yesterday?"

"Take pictures of the lively scene in the city for me."

"Then I know how to shoot, so I don't need you. If I don't lend it to you, it's just one roll of film in total. I've taken a lot of it, so I have to keep some."

"Can I buy you a new roll?"

"Do I look like someone who is short of money for a roll of film?"

"hateful!"

"Oh, there is a movie theater in front of it. It's a pity that I don't have time to go in and see if the seats in the movie theaters in the province are better."

"It's the same when taking photos outside. Look at the ticket window. The queues are all lined up on the street. There are a long row of bicycles on the street. There are dozens of them. If they are stolen, they will be stolen one at a time.

allow."

The tractor drove to the front. Because it was near a movie theater and there were so many people, it could only move at a slow pace. When the tractor evened out, it gave him a chance to take pictures.

We wandered around, driving and stopping, until we had visited the entire provincial capital, and then everyone returned home with satisfaction.

Just when he was about to leave, Ye Yaodong saw Awei flash by. He was with two men beside a tractor, carrying baskets, watching their mouth movements, and soliciting passers-by.

Damn it, what a mess.

The basket they carried down was the oily fish that he had exposed in the early morning. They couldn't sell it at the farmer's market, so they changed the location and continued the scam?

The two men only saw the side and back, and didn't see the face. I don't know if it was true, but he could still recognize the fish from a distance.

Damn it, this world is really small. Yesterday I was polishing my shoes, and today I am selling fake fish.

If you can sell fake fish, why should you polish your leather shoes? I don’t understand.

As the tractor drove forward bit by bit, the scene on the street behind was also overwhelmed by the crowd, and Aguang didn't notice that they passed by familiar people again.

Ye Yaodong shook his head. Of course, it would be faster to make money by taking the wrong approach than by taking the wrong approach.

As he left the city, he put away the camera and put it back in the lockbox.

After sightseeing all morning, everyone was a little tired. After leaving the city, they sat down one by one, closed their eyes and rested, planning to rest for a while. There was still a whole day before we got home.

Ye Yaodong felt that this trip was quite satisfactory. The most important thing was to repair motorcycles. It was an unexpected surprise that the tractor factory was not far away. He also included large items that he had not considered before.

On the agenda.

Everyone walked around and got what they wanted. What A Guang planned next was up to the father and son to discuss.

After returning to the guest house yesterday afternoon, he took the opportunity to make a phone call. Ah Qing said that her father called at noon and said that several people wanted to sell their shops.

He also told Ah Qing that they were going back early this morning and would be home by evening at the latest.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called the market and asked his father-in-law to answer the phone.

After chatting for a while, it was decided that he would go to the market at noon tomorrow and ask him to make an appointment with the seller to talk at noon tomorrow.

He felt very tired just thinking about it. In the past few days since he came back from Zhejiang Province, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had been running around on the road, either in the county town, in the city, and now in the province.

The key is that the current road conditions are too bad.

It was a bumpy day yesterday, and I felt like my body was about to fall apart last night. It was only after I got some sleep that I felt better.

We have another bumpy day today, and we have to run non-stop to the city tomorrow.

Those who ride horses are not suitable for running too far these days.

At first, he didn't think about opening a store in the province, but today he took a stroll and saw the bustling scene in the province, and everything was gradually developing, and the economy was beginning to sprout. He was also a little tempted to start a few stores in advance.

A store?

Now that he thought about it, he took the idea back, waiting for the road conditions to be better and the public security to be more peaceful in a few years. Now a trip would cost half his life.

The distance is too far, and if something happens, I won't know anything, and the law is not that perfect.

The market has a few shops and is very friendly, with my father-in-law watching over it. It's not too far to go to the city, so a trip every three days is acceptable.

When all the ships ordered by his family are available in two years, his life will become even better. Why should he run around like this? If he has two years to buffer, he will definitely be able to double his assets.

It doesn't need to be so tiring.

By then, if the road conditions are better, or in a few years, we don't have to go so far to the provincial capital, and we can buy a house or a shop in time.

Now let's slowly accumulate assets and choose the ones nearby. Anyway, he is already one step ahead of many others.

Ye Yaodong thought about it slowly and thought that he and Ah Qing had made a good plan before, taking care of the immediate situation and surroundings first.

After thinking about it, he felt a little drowsy after being exposed to the direct sun, but the shaking and bumping of the tractor also prevented them from falling asleep completely, so they could only rock from side to side.

It wasn't until he was hungry that he checked the time, took out another wad of newspapers, and divided two large meat buns between each of them.

There's still about half the way to go.

After eating, they chatted for a few words and then shut up. Occasionally, some passing cars passed by on the road, bringing up dust all over the sky. It was not suitable for chatting at all.

The old and peeling tractor drove along the winding country road, bumping along the way it came.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that they saw the familiar village in the distance.

Uncle Zhou also yelled energetically: "We're almost there. If you hold on just a little longer, we'll be able to enter the village soon."

By the way, everyone shook their heads and woke up.

"Oh, I'm finally home."

"We're finally home. I'm exhausted. It's not easy to travel far away. I almost lost my life."

"Yeah, it's better to take a boat. It's more comfortable. You can also play cards on the boat to pass the time without being so bumpy."

"I didn't feel uncomfortable when I went to Zhejiang Province, which is farther away. It's not easy to go there. I was scared even once and it hurt my butt."

"My butt is numb and I can't even stand up."

Everyone seemed to be recovering from the disaster, their faces looked brighter and their spirits were somewhat restored.

Uncle Zhou's voice came from in front of the tractor, "I came back just as the sun was setting. I can have a hot dinner when I get home."

They also stood up from their stools, held on to the board and breathed a sigh of relief, twisting their necks and waists to avoid being unable to walk for a while.

"It's really tiring."

I really want to just lie at home and do nothing.

"I never want to travel far away again."

"It's too early to say this. I have to go to the city tomorrow."

Aguang's shoulders instantly slumped, "Do we have to rush like this? Can't we rest for one more day before going to the city?"

"I made an appointment with my father-in-law on the phone last night. We can't change it. But we can sleep until the sun rises tomorrow. We made an appointment in the afternoon."

After all, the store has to do business in the morning, and there is no one available to discuss things in the afternoon.
