Wu Qi gave Fann Binn a disappointed look. "After all this time, you are just trying to trick me. You are trying to whet my appetite. Hmph, forget it. I don't care about you anymore. I'll take a picture of my scenery. Fann Binn, come, help me take a few pictures by the river for my memento. "
Fann Binn nodded and took the camera. He looked at the camera. He saw Wu Qi standing gracefully beside the clear stone bridge of the river, facing the sunset in the countryside. With the beautiful scenery and the beautiful person, this photo could be taken to participate in the most beautiful photo evaluation.
After taking a few pictures, Wu Qi took a few more pictures of Fann Binn. She also took a few pictures of ___. She took a picture with him. More and more villagers were watching the two of them take photos by the river, and they were gradually closing in on them. At this time, Fann Binn looked at an old uncle and seemed to think of something. He took the initiative to take out the soft Chunghwa from his pocket and handed it over with a smile. "Uncle, you don't know me anymore, right? I'm Fann. My grandfather once went to play chess with you. I often followed him to your house to play chess with Fann. "
When the old uncle saw that Fann Binn took the initiative to send him a cigarette, it was even a cigarette. Immediately take the cigarette nervously and carefully put it in his two or three bucks a pack of red plum cigarettes. The cigarettes were known by everyone, even in this poor village. It seemed like these honest farmers all knew the price. This old man obviously did not want to smoke, so he put it away.
"Your grandfather, who is it?" The old man seemed to have thought about it for a while, but still didn't know who it was.
Fann Binn smiled and pointed to a distance on the other side of the river. "I am the grandson of Old Lee's family, Fann."
"Old Lee's family... Oh, oh, oh, oh. I really didn't know you were Fann. That's right, Fann. Heh, I haven't seen you for five or six years. You've grown up into a young man, good boy." The old man had clearly recognized who Fann Binn was, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes.
At this time, he sighed softly. "Old Lee has been tortured to death by a few sons in the past two years. Last year, when his third son heard that he went out to work, he became a gangster. It was him who paid money to redeem him. This year, the other two sons were arguing about splitting the property again. Sigh. It was worrying... By the way, your mother is also in the village?"
" Yeah, she's here. She came with me. " Fann Binn did not expect that his uncle would still remember his mother. Originally, he did not recognize him in the crowd, but it was his unique sideburns that reminded him of the past.
"She actually dared to come back. Good, not bad. Old Lee can be happy for a few days this time." Eldest Uncle smiled as he lit a red plum cigarette and smoked as if he was enjoying it. He looked at Fann Binn from head to toe and said," Fann, are you in high school now? "
"Yes, Uncle. You are studying in the first year of high school in Jiangde." Fann Binn was very respectful. He knew that his big uncle and grandfather were good friends.
"Alright, we've all gone to Jiangde. Do you know that? The widow of Old Luo's family, your name is Aunt Li. I heard that she is also in Jiangde. Oh, she seemed to have heard that she had also returned to the village today. What a coincidence." Eldest Uncle smoked and casually said," She's also a person with a bitter life. She's just like your Old Lee's family. Her family name is also Li. Perhaps you two really were family eight hundred years ago. "
"Hehe, Uncle, Aunt Li also came back with me. I met her when we were in Jiangde." Fann Binn smiled and squatted beside the river, ignoring the curious gazes of the other villagers. At this time, Wu Qi also knew that he had met an old friend, so she went along the river alone to take pictures of the scenery.
"Oh, such a coincidence, you guys are really fated to meet?" When his uncle heard Fann Binn's words, he could not help but laugh. "This widow Li left the village because she could not stand being talked about. This time, she came back with great glory. I heard that the gifts she gave to her father-in-law and mother-in-law were worth several thousand. Tsk tsk. A big city is a big city, and it earns a lot of money. "
"But to be honest, my sons are all working outside, but every time they come to pay homage to me during the new year, they always knock on the door and take out the money, like a poor child... Hey, let's not talk about it!"
Fann Binn looked at his uncle who was smoking next to him with amusement. He could clearly feel the sourness in his uncle's words. Indeed, who wouldn't want their children to earn big money? They were very capable, not to mention that even the widow had become rich after she went out. The imbalance in their hearts was the main reason why the old uncle was jealous.
"Uncle, let me ask you. Do you know... Has anyone in this mountain village whom I don't know come often in the past year? " Fann Binn saw that he had finished smoking his cigarette, so he simply stuffed the entire packet of soft Chunghwa into his hands. He smiled and said, "Just smoke as much as you want. If it's not enough, I still have more."
The old uncle smiled in embarrassment. Only then did he pull out a Chunghwa cigarette with some heartache. After lighting it up and taking a deep breath, he said frankly, "Fann, you seem to be doing quite well. I've seen this soft China before. It costs sixty to seventy yuan per packet. En, you're asking if there are people you don't know who often enter the village this year? No, the liveliest place in the village is today. These outsiders from your Old Lee family and Old Luo family."
" Oh? Have no outsiders entered the village before?" Fann Binn frowned. The situation was different from what he had expected.
"No. The villagers wake up early and sleep late every day. Why can't the village keep an eye on them? If outsiders come often, the villagers won't surround you and look at you as if you were an animal. " The old uncle smiled and teased, "But the girl in front of Fann is so pretty. Old Lee's family doesn't seem to have any relatives, right?"
" Hehe, that's my girlfriend. " Fann Binn smiled and rubbed his head. He felt a little embarrassed as he said that. "
What? You have a girlfriend in high school? Oh my, Fann, you're good, you're amazing. " When the old uncle heard that, he immediately gave Fann Binn a thumbs up and said in admiration," You must cherish such a beautiful girlfriend. "
Fann Binn was a little depressed. Obviously, his mind was not on this. However, the old uncle always said that he would bring her somewhere else. He continued to think for a while and asked, "Uncle, since there are no outsiders in the village, does it mean that there are outsiders around the village?"
"How is that possible? This is a poor place. Where would so many outsiders come from?" The old uncle rolled his eyes and said, "Those who are capable have moved out of the mountain. The rest of the villagers also want to leave this poor valley as soon as possible. The villagers all thought of ways to go out. Who would be stupid enough to hide in this mountain ditch?... Uh..."
Just as the old uncle spoke up to here, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He said in a somewhat strange manner," However, you really don't need to say. A while ago, I saw that rascally Zhou Hai Bo in the countryside. He had always led a group of people to wander around the area of Liu Xihe outside the village. It was also unknown what he was doing. He seems to be carrying a bunch of instruments that I don't understand. "
"Zhou Hai Bo?" Fann Binn pondered for a while. After confirming that he did not know this person, he frowned and said, "Uncle, who is this fellow?"
"Hey, Zhou Hai Bo, you don't even know him?" The old uncle had just asked the question when he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I forgot that you haven't returned to the countryside for two to three years. This Zhou Hai Bo, you said that he can be considered a figure. He just happens to be a bastard. There are more people who scold him than anyone else. What if you said that he was unknown and that he just had to be a person from the surrounding villages? He can talk about one or two things."
" Oh? Such a legend?" Fann Binn gradually became interested and said with a smile," Anyway, it's still early. Uncle, can you tell me about it? "
" Hey, actually, he didn't say anything. He's just a shrew. " The old uncle was obviously somewhat disdainful. "This Zhou Hai Bo is the son of the village head Zhou Dazhi. There are also people who say that he's actually just an illegitimate child, but this Zhou Dazhi treats him very well. He has been sent to the county to study since he was young. "
"But who knows that this kid just doesn't learn well. He only went to high school and got together with some hoodlums and hooligans. His father was afraid that something would happen to him, so he took the initiative to not let him continue studying. He dropped out of school and went back to the village, giving him an empty position in the glass factory. He did not know where this kid learned his skills from, but he found a group of scoundrels from other places. He made some small deals."
"Because his father is the village head, who in the village doesn't give him face? So, what local products are there in every village? He bought some at a very cheap price and took them out to sell in a big city. Hey. You don't have to say, he really did hit the jackpot a few years later. Not only did he build a new house, he even married a beautiful girl as his wife. Oh, of course not as pretty as your girlfriend. "
" Hehe. What happened after that?" Fann Binn asked with a smile, "It's not possible to become famous just by doing such a small thing, right?"
"Don't worry, what comes after is the real thing." At this moment, Eldest Uncle lowered his tone and secretly said, "Later on, this fellow used the money he earned to start a black-hearted business. He often saw good Feng Shui, good environment, or places in the downtown area. No matter how shameless he is, whether he keeps pestering me, or whether he threatens me or warns me, it doesn't matter. Just like that, he received land after land, and then found a buyer to sell it at a high price. After this, he actually became the richest man in the village! "
" Have you been to the center of the Town of Ye in the village? He sold a few houses in the center of the town, as well as a few beautiful pieces of land near the reservoir of the Town of Ye. He built and sold the villas there. "
" Oh? This week, Hai Bo had used illegal means to buy land. No wonder he was hated by others. He does have foresight. He knows that the real estate industry has a very bright future. " Fann Binn nodded his head and commented," This fellow is indeed not simple. He knows how to use his father's relationship. There are a lot of people in the country who use less to sell real estate."
"That's not the case. Otherwise, why would he be so famous? It's just that he earns black-hearted money. There's no one who doesn't hate him. " Eldest Uncle lit another cigarette before saying: " You don't know how ruthless Zhou Biao is. Two months ago, there were three houses on the piece of land near the reservoir in the Town of Ye. Zhou Biao wanted to demolish the houses at a very low price. Those villagers refused to die. They even used knives to block the door every time. This fellow called a bunch of ruffians and directly beat up three of the villagers until they were seriously injured and four were lightly injured! Good boy, that day someone later said that it was really fresh blood all over the ground..."
