Chapter 792 My aunt wants to go back to the village, I will accompany her back
Qiao Xi's suitcase was very small. Zhang Ran took a look and suggested, "It probably won't fit in the trunk. Your suitcase is small, so just put it on the seat."
Qiuyu was driving and Tian Baozhu was sitting in the passenger seat.
Zhang Ran and Qiao Xi sat in the back with a small suitcase.
Having a car is convenient. After sending Tian Baozhu and Qiao Xi away, the car drove back.
While driving, Qiu Yu explained the progress of the development of the mountain. After half a year of hard work, the road up and down the mountain has been widened again to facilitate the entry and exit of various large machines.
Large areas of dilapidated buildings were demolished and high-rise buildings were erected.
"Now that you're on vacation, why don't we go take a look together tomorrow?" Qiu Yu said, and glanced at Zhang Ran through the rearview mirror.
Early the next morning, in addition to Zhang Ran, Yang Tao also went along.
The mountain top today is completely different from what it was half a year ago. The mountain road that was once so inaccessible to cars has been widened and turned into an asphalt road, and large vehicles are busy coming and going.
The dilapidated buildings have disappeared, replaced by tall buildings that soar into the sky. The entire mountain is filled with hard-working workers, and various large machines such as excavators, cranes, and dump trucks are in operation.
Luo Youdi and Liu Yufei wore safety helmets and were accompanied by several foremen, moving around the construction site to give orders and supervise inspections.
Zhang Ran and Yang Tao also put on safety helmets but did not join in. They strolled around, from inside to outside, from bottom to top, and visited the entire mountain.
Zhang Ran was a layman when it came to things on the construction site, and asked Yang Tao for help when he didn't understand something.
Many workers knew Yang Tao and called her "Foreman Yang" when they met her.
Seeing workers removing the trees and weeds around, Zhang Ran suggested to Yang Tao: "There is no need to remove all the flowers, plants and trees on the mountain. Some of the trees can be left as landscape trees to save money on purchasing them later. There is a stinky ditch over there that can be filled with construction waste..."
Yang Tao wrote down everything, then turned around and told the workers to carry out the orders.
At noon, nearby villagers went up the mountain to sell boxed lunches, and Liu Yufei and her friends ate the same boxed lunches as the workers.
Zhang Ran also wanted to eat a box lunch, but Qiu Yu pulled her aside and served her the sumptuous meal sent by the housekeeper.
"You still know how to enjoy life." Zhang Ran accepted Qiu Yu's flattery without hesitation and enjoyed everything he ate.
Zhang Ran stayed in the mountain for a whole week, and only after making sure that everything was developing steadily as expected did he return to the courtyard with peace of mind.
Tian Baozhu no longer came to tutor during holidays, and Luo Youdi was busy with work and often not at home, so she simply let Xiaoying live in the courtyard.
During the day, while Xiaoying was doing her homework, Zhang Ran would lock himself in the room to practice martial arts.
At night, Xiaoying watched cartoons while Zhang Ran kept typing away on the computer keyboard. He broke three computers in half a month, but fortunately two of them were repaired and could still be used.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the winter vacation has passed and the Chinese New Year is approaching.
Erya sat on the sofa drinking tea, looking at Zhang Ran beside her, "My eldest sister called me yesterday and asked me to go to S City for the New Year. What about you? Where are you going to spend the New Year this year?" He reached out and hugged her arm, "How about you go to S City with me to spend the New Year? Sanya and Siya both said they missed you."
"Miss me, bring them to Beijing to play next summer vacation." Zhang Ran pulled his arm away, "I'm going back to my hometown for the New Year this year, and my second aunt is going back to the village, so I'll go with her."
She really hated those three cousins, especially the eldest and second cousins. Their values had already been formed and they were almost replicas of Qian Fuguo.
If Brother Luo You brought all three cousins to the capital because he loved the children, she would keep her distance from him and no longer have any contact with him.
Erya also knew about Luo Youge's situation. After listening to Zhang Ran's words, she nodded in understanding, with a tone that revealed a little disappointment: "Okay then."
