Chapter 242
After making arrangements for the company and Ren De Hall, Zachary drove out.
An hour and a half later, his car was filled with small gifts and food drinks, which were ready to be presented to his long-standing relatives. After all, it was New Year's, and it was to pay a New Year's call to the villagers in advance. Later, the car drove to the entrance of the house for a long time. Since Zachary helped Joyce and her husband find a new job, the lives of the three families had improved a lot.
Seeing Zachary coming, the family felt grateful to him again. Zachary helped put the things in the car, and then drove away after carrying the family of three for a long time.
Adrian and Joyce both sat in the back seat. They didn't sit in the passenger seat for a long time to chat with Zachary.
Outside Ludington City District, the car got on the high speed. The car sped up and became smooth. Meanwhile, Adrian and Joyce, who had been busy for many days, sat in the back seat and fell asleep in a daze.
She hadn't sat in the co-pilot's seat for a long time. From time to time, she turned her head to look at Zachary with a secret expression with the shyness and lovelyness of the girl.
Zachary couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ah Wei, isn't there dirt on Big Mr. Ching's face?"
"No, I don't!" The little girl was confused.
"If you don't, why did you secretly look at me?" Zachary said with a smile.
She didn't expect that Zachary would find out about her little trick. For a long time, she was so shy that her face turned red. She lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to. Because even she herself didn't know why she secretly looked at Zachary.
After teasing the little girl, Zachary laughed, stretched out his right hand, patted his head that had not been there for a long time, and said with a smile, "Ah Wei, don't be nervous. I'm just joking with you. I'm your big brother. You look at me a few more times, and I'm happy!"
"By the way, Wood, tell you about your hometown. Otherwise, I'll make a fool of myself."
Zachary changed the topic and the shy young lady finally raised her head.
When it came to the topic of their hometown, Number One started to talk with a hint of nostalgia and yearning in his words.
He had not lived in Su Nan City for a long time, but it was not in the downtown of Su Nan City. Instead, it was a temporary bays of a small village in a small county under Su Nan City. Although it was not a national poor village, it was not very prosperous. At home, they farmed some farmers to eat, while most of the young and strong men went to work in the city.
Since her long-lost grandparents had passed away, the family only had Second Young Madam left. She was already seventy-three years old and wasn't feeling well. This was also one of the reasons why the family had rushed back this year. Time flew by as they chatted all the way. From the highway to South City, it took more than an hour for the car to arrive at Gujiayuan Bay.
When the car drove into the village, it immediately attracted a lot of attention in the small village. Many old people and children came over to watch.
After a long time, the family of three got off the car, and many villagers gathered around and chatted with each other. It was obvious that they envied the family of three who came back by a car.
In the end, when Zachary got off the car, the villagers started to talk about him.
"Andong, is he your son-in-law? He has a handsome appearance. How lucky he is!"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Ah Wei, you've found a boyfriend who is driving a car. You're really capable!" "Ah Wa, introduce your boyfriend to us."
The villagers' enthusiasm suddenly made them feel embarrassed and embarrassed for a long time. They quickly explained. Finally, the villagers believed that Zachary was not a son-in-law, but a friend.
Apparently, the villagers did not believe the long-lost explanation. They just thought it was the girl's shyness. After all, she was brought home to celebrate the Spring Festival. Even if she was not the son-in-law now, she would be the son-in-law in the future.
Therefore, many people looked at the Adrian family with envy. They thought that the Andong family had raised a good daughter and had found such a good son-in-law in the city.
Of course, they didn't know what the villagers were thinking for a long time. After greeting everyone, they returned home.
After putting the things in the house, he helped Zachary to distribute the small gifts he bought to the villagers' home for a long time.
After such a busy day, the sky had already turned dark. Adrian couple quickly prepared dinner. At the same time, they arranged for Zachary to sleep at home, which had not been arranged for a long time.
The dinner in the village was not very sumptuous. It was just an ordinary fried cabbage and stewed pork with radishes. Fortunately, the ingredients were fresh and natural, so it had a special taste.
After the food was prepared, Joyce filled another large bowl of food. She handed it over for a long time and asked her to bring it over to Second Young Madam.
It turned out that although Second Young Lady was a relative of hers for a long time, she believed in Buddhism all the year round and had a light temper. Therefore, she seldom contacted with the people in the village. Forty years ago, she moved to the hillside behind the bay village and built a small house for living.
When she was young, she could still provide for herself. But now she was old, and her health was not good, and her life had become a problem. The villagers also urged her to go down the mountain and return to the village to live together so that they could take care of each other.
However, the old man was stubborn and didn't want to go down the mountain. That was why Joyce didn't send food over for a long time. She also brought some daily necessities and gifts along the way. Seeing that he hadn't brought a big bag out for a long time, Zachary couldn't help but stand up and said, "I'll go with you too!"
"Zachary, you're a guest. How can you do that?" Joyce hurriedly said.
Zachary smiled and said, "It's getting dark. I'm afraid it's not safe to walk alone on the mountain road. Besides, Second Young Madam isn't in good health! I'm a doctor, so I can give her a chance to see her." After hearing Qin Tianhao's words, the long-married couple didn't say anything more. They just said, "Zachary, please take care of yourself."
The mountain behind the village was not very tall. With Zachary's constitution, he could still walk as fast as flying while carrying a large parcel.
When he reaches halfway up the mountain and turns a corner, he can see a light swaying gently in the mountain. It is the light of a candle in a small room.
When she got closer, she found that the hut was not big, and it looked a little dilapidated because of its age. Perhaps it was because Second Young Madam had not believed in Buddhism for a long time, but it gave people a sense of unexplainable tranquility and peace.
She knocked on the door for a long time and shouted. Then she pushed the door open and entered. Zachary saw a table in the room. There was a wooden bed in the middle of the table, and a table near the window on the other side. There was a bronze palm-sized Buddha statue on the long narrow table. In front of the Buddha statue was a small incense burner. Perhaps it had been polished for years, but compared with the dark objects in the room, the Buddha statue was much cleaner.
At this moment, an old woman with white hair stood up from the futon. She looked at it for a long time. With a smile on her face, she reached out lovingly and touched her long-lost head, saying, "Ah Si, you're back!"
"Second Young Madam!" She had not been obedient for a long time, so she let Second Young Madam touch her head. Then she pointed to Zachary behind her and said, "This is my friend, Mr. Ching. Let's come to see you together." "Your friend?" The old lady's eyes fell on Zachary, and there was more or less a probing look in her slightly narrowed eyes.
She said hurriedly, "Second Young Madam, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I've brought you some food." As she spoke, she took out the food wrapped in cotton cloth, placed it on the table, and prepared the chopsticks.
