C545 Arriving at the Immortal Lake Village
Not to mention outsiders who couldn't tell what Xiaomei was thinking, even Xiaomei... She herself didn't understand why she would do this. It was as if there was a voice in the dark telling her. If she didn't take the initiative, she wouldn't have the chance to see Lee Hao in the future.
Seeing the expectant look in Xiaomei's eyes, Lee Hao couldn't bear it. He couldn't bear to reject Xiaomei like this. After thinking for a while, he said perfunctorily, "If I have time, I will call you."
"This is better than rejecting her directly!"
Lee Hao thought in his heart.
"Oh!"
Xiaomei's eyes dimmed and she felt extremely disappointed. She whispered, "I will wait for you to call me."
Lee Hao shook his head helplessly and returned to the van. He was just a passerby in Xiaomei's life. Because of justice, that was why Xiaomei had a good impression of him. However, Lee Hao believed that... Without the catalyst, this kind of favorable impression wouldn't last for long.
...
The small truck that Lee Hao bought finally drove back to the village road that led to Immortal Lake Village. Only the first half of the road was paved with cement, and now there were many cracks. Clearly, it was due to years of disrepair.
The second half of the road was completely muddy. Because of the rain these few days, the road was muddy. Lee Hao had just bought a new car, but it was already dirty with mud. It did not look like a new car at all.
The back of the truck was already filled with goods. These were all things that Lee Hao had found a deserted place. The things that were taken out from the small heaven and earth were all good things that were not commonly seen in the countryside. For example, cigarettes, all of them were from China, wine, and Maotai. There were also some clothes, sweets, toys, and so on. Lee Hao had bought a lot of them. Anyway, he didn't lack money.
As for the honey and tea leaves that he had specially prepared for his parents, Lee Hao didn't take them out. He planned to make them when he returned home. Anyway, he had bought so many goods. Who knew what was inside?
The speed of the small truck on the muddy road could not be raised at all. It took Lee Hao more than an hour to drive the small truck into Immortal Lake Village.
In a poor and backward mountain village, cars were rare items. Just as Lee Hao drove the car into the village, the villagers who were doing farm work on the side of the road started to discuss.
"Whose car is this? Did anyone buy a car in the village?"
"I've never heard of anyone buying a car? It should be from outside! I wonder what the people outside are doing in Immortal Lake Village? "
The villagers could not be blamed for being puzzled. This was because very few outsiders came here throughout the year. On one hand, Immortal Lake Village was too backward and did not have any attractive places. On the other hand, it was also because of the mud road outside.
When it was not raining, it was still alright. Driving was not that difficult. Once it rained, the road would be completely destroyed. When driving over, it would become like Lee Hao's small truck, which was full of mud from top to bottom.
This was still alright. It would be fine as long as it was washed off. However, it was very easy to cause landslide on this rainy day. The road leading to Immortal Lake Village was also built along the side of the mountain. The danger was too great.
At this time, a villager in his thirties said, "Could it be Huang Jiahao's people? They came to Lee Family to ask for money again?"
"I think it is eighty percent!" Another villager said anxiously, "Fu Gui, quickly inform Uncle Lianghui and tell him to hide. Tell him that that big bad guy Huang Jiahao is here to collect money again."
After saying that, a thirteen or fourteen year old child ran away. He was not careful and had already run more than ten meters away.
"Lianghui? Isn't this Uncle?" Lee Hao pulled his head out of the window and said to the villagers outside, "Uncle Chi, Uncle Xiangzi, it's me. Hao, I'm back for the New Year."
"Hao?" The two men who were called by Lee Hao looked at Lee Hao carefully and said happily, "It's really Hao who came back." Then they shouted at the child who just left, "Fu Gui, don't run away. It's your brother Elder Brother Hao who came back."
At this time, Lee Hao got off the truck and took the cigarettes that he specially prepared. He sent them to Uncle Li and Uncle Xiangzi. Uncle Li took the cigarettes and looked at them. He exclaimed, "Hao, you are doing well outside. You have even smoked in China."
"Normal, ordinary!" Lee Hao politely said. He took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for them.
Uncle Quanji took a deep breath and sighed, "This is a good cigarette. It is much more comfortable than the Yezi cigarettes at home. It is not suffocating at all."
Uncle Li was talking about the Yezi cigarettes that were planted by his family in the rural areas. After drying it, he wrapped it and smoked it. Lee Hao had tried it before. Because there was no filter, it was more harmful to the human body. The taste was very suffocating. In any case, Lee Hao could not stand it.
One cigarette was enough for him to finish smoking. Lee Hao hurriedly handed another one over and lit it for him. Then, he took out another two full cigarettes from the truck. He handed them the cigarettes and said, "I came back in a hurry and didn't bring anything good. I know Uncle Li and Uncle Xiangzi like to smoke. I specially bought one for you. "
"This isn't good!" Uncle Genzi wanted to take it, but he didn't dare to. A big China cost a few hundred yuan. This was enough for a village family to spend for a month.
Lee Hao stuffed the entire cigarette into Uncle Gen's hands and said, "This junior is giving it to you as a gift. What's wrong with that?"
Only then did Uncle Genji take the cigarette with a smile. Seeing that Uncle Xiangzi hadn't received it, he said in support, "Hao gave it to me. Let's take it!"
Uncle Xiangzi then accepted Lee Hao's cigarette. He looked at the small truck and asked, "Hao, did you buy this small truck too?"
Lee Hao nodded and said, "Yes, it's not like we're going home for the New Year. We bought some New Year goods and couldn't carry them, so we bought a small truck and pulled it back."
Uncle Quanzi gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Hao is indeed the first university student in Immortal Lake Village. He has a promising future. I heard your father say that you just graduated this year. I didn't expect to earn so much money as soon as I graduated. Cultured people are indeed different. "
"Hehe!"
Lee Hao smiled and did not explain. He would just let his uncle misunderstand! This was also good. At least it could make the villagers of Immortal Lake Village pay more attention to education.
At this time, Fu Gui, who had just run away, ran back again. He pulled Lee Hao's arm and said, "Brother Elder Brother Hao, did you buy me a gift?"
"Yes, I did!" Lee Hao climbed onto the truck again and took a big bag of candy and a Transformer toy for Fu Gui. Lee Hao had grown up with children and knew what these children wanted the most.
Fu Gui was not polite. He had grown up behind Lee Hao since he was young. He treated Lee Hao as his brother and took it happily. He cheered, "Oh yeah, there's a new toy."
With the attraction of the new toy and candy, Fu Gui could not stay on the ground any longer. In a flash, he ran away and was nowhere to be seen. Obviously, he went to show off in front of his friends.
Lee Hao chatted with them for a while more before he drove away. Lee Hao did not ask about Uncle and Lee Lianghui. When he returned home, he naturally knew about it.
Along the way, Lee Hao met more than one group of acquaintances. There were many more. Every time he met one, Lee Hao would get off the car and chat with them. He would also give them some small gifts that he had brought back. He didn't mean to show off, nor did he want to show off. He just wanted to celebrate the new year happily. After all, being able to live in a village was more or less related.
