Chapter 157
I really don't know how expensive firewood is!
After receiving the bamboo basket and cloth bag from the clerk, Li Chong asked, "Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something, how do I get to the foot of the mountain on the south side of Mingzhu Mountain?"

The shopkeeper was very happy when he made a deal, so he walked to the door of the rice store, pointed to the hill that belonged to Mingzhu Mountain and said, "Our Dachang Rice Store is located in the east-west direction of Jingkou Street, Mr. Jun, you want to go to Mingzhu Mountain." At the foot of the mountain on the south side, as long as you remember a trick, go south along this bluestone road facing south, and when you encounter a turning, go down and not go up, and you will be there. The mountain in front of you is Mingzhu Mountain, which is the same as the one in the south. It would be good if the Crooked Tsui Mountains were separated."

Following the shopkeeper's words, Li Chong walked the mountain road for another quarter of an hour, holding a bamboo basket and a cloth bag in his left hand, and took out warm rice cakes from the bamboo basket in his right hand, and walked towards his new home with ease.

At this moment, in the residential area at the foot of Nanshan Mountain in Mingzhu Mountain, among the independent buildings built against the mountain, in front of a three-story concrete building with a roof, it is particularly eye-catching because a black car is parked .

Many of the surrounding neighbors are newly moved from other places, and those who can sell an independent building are more or less wealthy.Among them, the car is not a new thing, some of them have ridden or even owned one before.It's just that now that I have brought my family to a foreign land, I have some money left on me. This is the family's livelihood in the future, and I am determined not to part with this money to buy a car like before.

Therefore, being able to own a car now is definitely not the kind of wealth that ordinary people have.The neighbors, especially the new ones, thought to themselves, it seems that the new Li family at the foot of the mountain does have wealthy friends in the city.I also heard that the eldest son of his family was a soldier in the national army, and it was also said that he was in the Whampoa Military Academy. In any case, such a background can only be good friends.

Some people can't be bullied just because they look honest. In Chongqing City now, people come and go, and if a brick hits a person, maybe they will drag you out of a bunch of trouble behind their backs.

No matter what the people outside thought of his house with a car parked outside, inside the house, his father Li Derun heard Lin Wanru say that his eldest son was already in Tongliang, Sichuan, and his face was full of surprise.The second brother Zhixin and the third sister Yuanxiu were equally happy, because every time this beautiful sister came, she would bring them a lot of delicious food.

In fact, Tongliang was assigned to Chongqing in the 80s after liberation, and it had been under the jurisdiction of Sichuan before.

Father Li Derun asked, "Girl Lin, that means Chong'er is in Sichuan now? How far is Chengdu in Sichuan from here? How did he come back?"

Li Derun has only been in Chongqing for less than four months, and he has no intuitive experience of the distance and geographical location of the southwest region. When he mentions Sichuan, he also hears Chengdu.

In my father's conception, it was the land of Shu in the ancient poems.It is said that "the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky." How can the eldest son come back easily when he gets there?
"Uncle Li, that's not the way to calculate it. If he was in Chengdu, he would definitely not be able to come back. It would be a long way away. But my father said that a few months ago, the city government raised funds to build a road from Tongliang to our place. I When Dad inquired, it turned out that there was a school built in Tongliang, and it was said that it was to accommodate the teachers and students of Huangpu from Nanjing. If it was in Tongliang, it would be on the edge of Chongqing. If you can't come back, he will definitely send you a telegram."

While his parents were talking with Lin Wanru, Li Chong was already walking along the mountain road to the south foot of Mingzhu Mountain.Many houses are built along the mountain, and the foundation is the Pearl Mountain, which looks very thick and strong.The mountain road is interspersed between scattered houses, and it is very winding.

When he was in Nanjing and Shanghai before, he felt that the streets were crowded with people. Now in this southwest mountain city, Li Chong also feels the dense population density, and the accents are really diverse. Northern accents, Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents are not uncommon.

Standing at the foot of the south side of Mingzhu Mountain, Li Chong walked along the road in a tall and straight military uniform, and he stood at the foot of the mountain on the south side of Mingzhu Mountain. At a glance, there are many buildings built against the mountain, including four or five buildings with three-story roofs. look.

With a distance of [-] meters visible to the naked eye, Li Chong couldn't tell where his home was for a while.

He walked forward almost by instinct in his heart, and then vaguely heard a familiar voice in his heart, and saw a car parked outside the bamboo gate of the small courtyard.The small courtyard is covered with bare black soil, and some vegetables and celery are planted on it. There are two puppies behind the bamboo door, just like Dahei and Erhei barking at themselves through the bamboo door when they were young.

"Dahei, Erhei, don't bark indiscriminately!" A small figure ran out of the inner room. It was the second younger brother Zhixin standing on the steps and yelling at the two barking dogs in the yard. Standing a very tall man, wearing a military uniform, looks like his elder brother.

"Second Brother! Why did you see Eldest Brother and don't know him anymore?" Li Chong stood outside the courtyard gate looking at the familiar figure and called out.

"Brother, it's really you!" Li Zhixin looked at the people outside the courtyard who were wearing military uniforms, and didn't dare to go up to recognize them. Now that he heard a familiar voice, it must be his elder brother!
"Father and mother, Sister Lin, elder brother is back! My elder brother is back!" Second brother Zhixin, who was picked up by Li Chong, shouted into the room.

"Hey, good boy, I haven't seen you for a few months, and he has grown and gained weight." Li Chong obviously felt the growth of his second brother, and the age of ten was just the time to grow.

The parents in the room, Lin Wanru, her maid Caiyun, the driver, the younger sister Yuanxiu, the housekeeper Xiaotong, his daughter, and the maid Xiaoliu all came out of the house after hearing the commotion outside, and saw the Li Chong holding Zhixin.

He was dressed in a military uniform and had a thin face, but when he stood there, he stood upright, full of manliness.

The driver who was carrying Lin Wanru shrank his eyes when he saw Li Chong in military uniform. He had retired from the army due to injury, and the aura of holding a gun was all too familiar.However, this young man in front of him has a much better future than his own as a soldier. He is a student of Huangpu, and he will be a proper emperor in the future.

"Brother." The third sister Yuanxiu said in a sweet voice, she came up and hugged Li Chong's thigh.

"Hey, you two take the rice cakes and fried rice." Li Chong put his second brother on the ground and gave them the snacks he bought at the Dachang rice shop.

"Father, mother." Li Chong was delighted to see his parents who were still in good spirits.I worked hard all the way back from Hong Kong, wasn't it just for the safety of my family during the war-torn years, wasn't it just for this moment?

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Mother Chen Yueying stepped forward and looked her eldest son up and down. Seeing that his face was scratched, it was suffering, and tears rolled down his eyes.

"It's a happy event for the eldest son to come back. Why are you crying so much? It's a joke for people to see." His father Li Derun said, but his face was full of smiles that couldn't be concealed.

After hugging her mother, she saw Lin Wanru standing aside with a smile on her lips.

"Why are you here?" Li Chong looked at Lin Wanru who was standing aside with a smile on his lips. He really didn't expect that when he came back, all the people he met stood together, how lucky he was.
