Dai Jialang's problem seemed to evoke Wang Meijuan's memories. She put the needlework in her hand aside, stared at the two chickens in front of her and hesitated for a while before saying, "I remember the year before I gave birth to you, the oranges on the mountain in my home were harvested. They used to be sold in the town, but the price was too low.

Later, it was transported to the county town and could be sold for a few more money. Later I heard that the market price of Erdaohe is more expensive than that of the county town.

Your dad and I did some calculations. If you transport the oranges to Erdaohe for sale, it would be very cost-effective to count the fares and accommodation fees. In this way, I went to Erdaohe with your dad twice, and ended up earning a few hundred more dollars."

"Did you pick it up?" Dai Jialang asked.

Wang Meijuan said: "Of course, I was still young at that time, and I had the strength. Your father and I each carried more than 100 kilograms. We first took a bus from Tangguan Town to the county town, and then took a bus from the county town to Erdaohe. I remember that the fare from the county town to Erdaohe was only four yuan."

"Mom, did you buy oranges in Erdaohe? " Dai Jialang tentatively said.

Wang Meijuan was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "This dead guy has such a long mouth. He said he would not tell anyone, but he still couldn't control his mouth. When did he tell you?"

Dai Jialang said in surprise: "Mom, do you think it was my dad who told me?"

Wang Meijuan said angrily: "Who else can be there besides him? Humph, he has the face to say that if he hadn't been timid as a mouse, I wouldn't have happened. I have never told anyone about this incident for more than twenty years."

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "Don't blame my dad, it's really not what he told me." After that, he took out the shelter registration form from his pocket and said, "Look at this, this is what I found in Erdaohe Detention Center."

Wang Meijuan took her cousin suspiciously, stretched her arms out of the distance and looked at it for a while, and her last hand trembled slightly, "Oh, what is this? Why does it seem like a photo of me when I was young?"

Dai Jialang nodded and said, "This form shows that you have been detained in Erdaohe Detention Center."

Wang Meijuan was stunned for a while while holding the form, and suddenly sobbed with her hands covering her face.

Dai Jialang hurriedly reached out and patted his mother on the shoulder and said, "Mom, why are you crying? Since things have been going on for decades, there is no need to be sad. I just want to know what happened back then?"

Wang Meijuan choked for a while and said, "That year we sold oranges on the street, and the business was pretty good. Unexpectedly, a few people in uniform came and they were going to confiscate our oranges without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, your dad was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word. I felt heartbroken that dozens of pounds of oranges were torn with them, and a man actually kicked me.

I was angry and hated at that time, and didn't think too much about it. I picked up the shoulder pole and gave it to the man on the head, but it broke his head. They said I beat the police, but they caught me."

"What about it later?" Dai Jialang asked.

Wang Meijuan avoided Dai Jialang's gaze and muttered: "Later, they locked me up for more than twenty days, and then let me go."

Dai Jialang then understood the origin of his mother's charge of "assaulting the police", and he felt a little angry. At the same time, he felt uncomfortable when he thought of his mother's hard work at that time.

He knew that his family was actually supported by his mother. Although his father was strong, he could only be regarded as a labor force, and his family affairs were basically worried by his mother.

Just as my mother said, my father was honest and honest all his life and didn't even say a few words. When those bastards in uniforms had more mother's oranges, he naturally did not dare to come forward to argue, so his mother suffered the most in her life.

"Mom, it's all my fault. I shouldn't mention this thing that makes you sad. Since it's been decades since things have passed, there's no need to be sad anymore."

As he said that, he picked up the half-work of Wang Meijuan and threw it into the trash can. Wang Meijuan hurriedly picked it up and said in surprise: "Oh, what are you doing? The goods will be delivered tomorrow. This is the last bit of work."

Dai Jialang said, "Mom, don't worry, you will never worry about money in the future. Let me tell you, you will never use my special money in your lifetime. When will I take you and dad to play in Nanzhao City for a few days? If you like it, I will buy you a house and never come back."

Wang Meijuan wiped her tears and said, "Of course you are happy that your mother is so happy. She is so old and doesn't want to go anywhere. As long as you are doing well outside, your mother has face in the village. Why do you have to go to places that are not familiar with in life?"

Dai Jialang had no choice but to say, "It's up to you, anyway, this is the last batch of jobs. You won't be allowed to do such eye-damaging work in the future. If you really can't rest, you can do something else."

As he was talking, his sister-in-law Guiqin came back from outside, and the basket in her hand contained washed vegetables, saying, "Xiaojun, I met an ant from your second uncle's house just now. I told him that you are back and he will come to the house for dinner later."

Dai Jialang said in surprise: "What? Didn't he go to the army?"

Wang Meijuan said: "I was demobilized in July this year. I seemed to have found a job in the county town, but I was not very satisfied. I asked me a while ago, where can I remember it?"

After saying that, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's start cooking, it's time for the Gengtian and the others to come back."

Half an hour later, Dai Jialang's father Dai Ming and his brother Wang Gengtian returned from the town. Although Dai Ming was taciturn, he was very happy to see his son come back and took out a bottle of homemade old wine.

Before dinner, Wang Meijuan told her about Dai Jialang bringing back a huge sum of money and agreeing to build a new house for Wang Gengtian. The whole family was immediately happy. Her sister-in-law Guiqin even diligently poured tea and cigarettes for her brother-in-law, and even her two little nieces looked admiring.

After a while, the son of Dai Jialang's second uncle, Ant, came. The ant was originally named Wang Jiadong, three years younger than Dai Jialang, but he was taller than Dai Jialang because he didn't like studying since he was a child. After graduating from high school, his family took some routes to join the army.

"Oh, brother, you're finally back. I'm so angry." The ant said to Dai Jialang as soon as he entered the door.

Dai Jialang said in surprise: "What are you waiting for me?"

The ant sat on the table and chair without hesitation. He took the chopsticks and started eating, saying, "What else can I do? Of course I will go to Nanzhao City to join you.

Your brother said, you are doing well there, and you have become the boss's personal bodyguard, and you have a girlfriend. Now you are even Lu Hu, whom I won't go with you."

Dai Jialang has been playing companions and relatives with Ants since he was a child, so his relationship has always been good. He smiled and said, "Didn't you find a job in the county town?"

The ant waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, but he just helps others with chores. He will never have a future until he dies. He quit his job two days ago. Today I heard that you are back, so I'm so happy. I don't care. I'll leave you with you this time."

Dai Jialang looked the ant up and down and thought to himself that although he had three horsemen, some things could not be known to them after all.

Ants are not only their friends, but also relatives. If you keep him by your side, you will at least be considered a trustworthy helper.

With Zhou Jiyao's current trust in himself, there should be no problem with arranging him in the company. Besides, looking at his mother's expectant eyes, he obviously hoped that he would agree to the Ant's request.

"Then tell me, what can you do?" Dai Jialang asked slowly.

The ant was stunned and said, "We are all from the army, I can do whatever you can." After a pause, he smiled dryly, "Of course, your ability must be much greater than mine, otherwise you can't be a personal bodyguard for the boss."

Dai Jialang smiled and said, "Do you want your second uncle and second aunt to let you go? You are the only one in your family."

The ant waved his hand and said, "I have asked me to go to the army, so how can I not let me go to Nanzhao City? Besides, I went with you this time, so my mother will naturally feel at ease.

Look at the village, I am the only young man left now. You can’t let me join these old men and women all day long.”

Dai Jialang hesitated for a while and said, "At least you can't go with me this time. I have to stay at an engineering command center in Erdaohe for a few days, and at least I can't return to the company after New Year's Day. So, you can hold it in a few more days and go to Nanzhao City to find me after New Year's Day."

When the ant saw Dai Jialang agreeing, he was happy for a moment and hurriedly picked up the wine glass to toast Dai Jialang. Dai Jialang sat there without moving, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait for a while, I haven't finished speaking yet."

The ant was stunned for a moment, sat down and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Dai Jialang took out a cigarette and lit it, hesitated for a while and said, "I've said ugly things before, and I've gone there. You must listen to me. If you dare to take your own initiative, I don't care whether you are a relative or not."

The ant swears: "Isn't this nonsense? Who else can I listen to if I don't listen to you? Didn't I listen to you since I was a child?"

Dai Jialang then picked up the wine glass and touched the ant, and smiled and said, "This is true. I am worried that your heart has become wild in the past few years in the army."

The ant smiled and said, "How could it be? The army can only turn lazy people into good animals who can work, how can people become wild?" The whole family laughed.

At this time, Wang Meijuan suddenly said, "By the way, I don't have time to ask, when will you and Xiaoyue be ready to do business? It's not small. Since we are already together, let's just come back for the New Year to get the wedding."

Dai Jialang said vaguely: "This matter is not urgent. I forgot to say that I may not be able to come back during the Chinese New Year this year. This time, the boss agreed to me and gave me two days off."

Wang Meijuan complained: "You said you didn't come back on duty last year. Could it be that your boss won't let you come back this year?"

Before Dai Jialang could speak, Dai Ming, who kept silent, said: "Young people put their career first. Isn't it just a New Year? If you really can't come back, forget it."

Wang Meijuan glared at her husband and said angrily: "Of course it doesn't matter. Shouldn't the family members be members of the New Year?"

The ant smiled and said, "Aunt, if my brother can't come back during the Chinese New Year, I'll just accompany him there. It's not interesting to come back. Isn't it just a few more money?"

Wang Meijuan muttered, "You guys, you guys, have you all gone out and forgotten all this family. What's the point of being good at Nanzhao City?"

Dai Jialang used to know that her mother had only been to Yunling County as far as she had been in her life. Now she knows that she had been to Erdaohe twenty-seven years ago, but this should also be the farthest place she has been to in her life.

Although Erdaohe is also part of Nanzhao City, it must be similar to Yunling County twenty-seven years ago. I have never seen a prosperous metropolitan mother like Nanzhao City in this life.

After listening to his mother's words, Dai Jialang decided that when the time was right, he must take his parents to see the outside world, otherwise he would have to die of old age in this valley in his life.
