章節 27: Dongmen

Dongmen, a village or the hometown of Liu Yong. The house is made of an old red brick structure.

Zhou Xiuying was filled with joy today as her son and daughter were coming home after a long time. As a mother, she couldn't hold her feelings towards her son and daughter, so she ventured into their village market to procure fresh fish for the dish, carefully weighing the meat to ensure it was of the highest quality.

Her culinary ambitions did not end there. With fish, she then slaughtered a chicken to incorporate it into the meal.

Just as the free-range chickens are ready to be cooked, a middle-aged man walks near the door. The person walking past the door is Liu Jianping, the head of Dongmen Village.

" Sister-in-law, what have you been doing, anything special? "

Zhou Xiuying happily replied: " My son and daughter are coming home after long time "

" Oh, the university is already on summer vacation." Liu Jianping said.

After exchanging a few words, as usual, Zhou Xiuying noticed that Liu Jianping appeared downcast and inquired, " Big brother, are you still troubled with the road construction issue? "

" That's right, there is still a shortfall of 300,000. " Jianping said.

Three hundred thousand is not a tiny amount for Dongmen Village. The concrete road that leads to the village was built more than a decade ago as part of a project that aimed to connect different villages. Despite its construction being a significant development at the time, the road has become inconvenient due to its narrowed state. It can only accommodate a single car at a time, making it difficult for drivers to navigate the road whenever another vehicle approaches from the opposite direction.

So, In agreement with most of its residents, the village has decided to expand the road and construct a two-lane cement road. For that purpose, the villagers raised some of the money, but there was still a shortfall of about 300,000.

Liu Jianping intends to go to the town to pursue the matter, despite knowing the chances of success are slim.

Liu Yong had taken a detour from the highway, driving through a nearby town and drawing the attention of many locals.

In particular, his driving had caught the eye of several young individuals who were still in the process of learning to drive.

Liu Yong's driving was a source of fascination for these young drivers, captivated by his skill and expertise behind the wheel.

" Ah, that's a big G worth more than a million dollars. "

" It's rare to see it in our countryside, and it's been a long time since I saw a car in this class. "

The people around started to discuss about the car.

Liu Lan noticed them and said, " Brother, our car is so eye-catching. Many people are chasing after it. "

After passing through the village town and driving a few kilometres, they turned onto a cement road that led to Dongmen Village.

Dongmen Village is not far ahead, and they will be home soon.

" Brother, we are finally home. It is so convenient to have our car. " Liu Lan said.

" It's just that this road is in a terrible condition. Even though made of cement, some parts are already deteriorating. The main issue is its narrowness. If a car approaches from the opposite direction, it could be a major problem, " remarked Liu Yong, referring to the road.

Within a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance of Dongmen Village, where a massive camphor tree stood that required two people to embrace it. Many individuals were relaxing in the shade beneath the tree. Almost everyone has noticed the big G driving towards the village.

" Look, a car is coming. "

" Does this car look good? "

Most villagers didn't recognize this big G, but some people still realized what kind of car it was.

" Of course not bad , this is Big G, at least it costs more than one million. "

-What!

So expensive!

More than one million is an unattainable astronomical figure in the eyes of the villagers. Many people gasped. To everyone's surprise, the car stopped after driving over.

At first, the villagers thought the driver was some foreigner visiting their village. However, soon, everyone got surprised!

As Liu Yong stepped out of the car holding a box of Zhonghua cigarettes, the villagers noticed his warm and enthusiastic demeanour as he greeted everyone while smoking a cigarette.

" Welcome back here. Please enjoy the shade here," One of the Villages said.

It was Liu Yong. Could it be possible that he had returned after achieving great wealth outside the village? The Villagers started to wonder.

" It looks like he made a fortune. " a villager said.

After some time, Liu Yong returned to the car and drove directly towards his home.

Meanwhile, his mother, Zhou Xiuying, stewed the slaughtered chicken on the fire and told Liu Hongfu, " Bosses, Xiaoyong and Xiaolan should be back soon. "

Liu Honfu is the father of Liu Yong and Liu Lan.

" It shouldn't be so fast, maybe we have to wait a while. " Liu Honfu replied.

As soon as they finished speaking, there was movement outside the door, and Zhou Xiuying exclaimed happily, " It must be our son and daughter who have returned! "

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly walked outside. At this moment, Liu Yong just got off the car.

" Xiaoyong, Xiaolan, you are back " Zhou Xiuying said.

" Hello, mom ", Liu Lan said happily, hugging her mom so tightly.

On the other hand, Liu Yong opened the trunk and took down the tobacco, alcohol, candy, other things, brand-new leather shoes, clothes, etc.

Besides mom, Liu Hongfu was surprised by the car Liu Yong had bought, so he turned around the car, looking left and right.

He knew that Liu Yong had bought a car, and Liu Lan had mentioned it on the phone, but he didn't know what kind of car it was.

Looking around the car twice, Liu Hongfu said, " Xiaoyong, I think the car is pretty good, at least one hundred or two hundred thousand. "

Without saying a word, Liu Yong smiled and began to move items into his home one by one, such as boxes of Moutai, several packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, large bags of candies, new clothes, new shoes, and more.

After all the belongings were moved into the house and the car door was closed, the family was ready to enter when a large group arrived.

It was all people from the village. After a while, many people gathered in front of the house, which was very lively.

Zhou Xiuying promptly reminded the head of the household that Xiaoyong had purchased cigarettes and candies and urged him to come out and entertain the arriving guests.

" Ok." Liu Honfu said.

Liu Hongfu immediately went into the house to get things, Zhou Xiuying also moved out stools for everyone to sit on, and Liu Yong also moved out a table for candy and other things.
