Chapter 0236 – Oil Mouse (I)

After his son resigned from Zhonghai, he was busier than before. But more busy than before, which just came home a few days, and then to go out, Zhuang mother although some reluctance, but also did not say anything, just instructed Zhuang Rui driving on the road to be careful.

In fact, if it is not to participate in the wedding of the oldest three, followed by Shanxi to participate in the international Tibetan mastiff exchange, must take the snow mastiff with the same words, Zhuang Rui are planning to take a plane to Shaanxi, which driving the heat has long passed.

Although Zhuang Rui buy car time is not long, but can not help running are long-distance ah! A trip down, people are almost tired to fall apart, aura? Please, that can only eliminate physical fatigue, it’s not like it can help the highly tense nerves.

Due to Zhou Rui and Liu Chuan have to prepare for the Tibetan Mastiff exchange meeting, this time Zhuang Rui can only drive alone on the road, from Pengcheng to Shaanxi Wei City, a total of more than 800 kilometers, for him, it is also a small challenge. Because there is a section of the road does not have high speed, and still ring mountain road, need to pay attention to the absolute concentration, a little careless, that is the consequences of the car overthrow people.

From Anhui Xiaoxian turn on the highway, and then straight into Shangqiu into Henan, through Lankao, Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Luoyang to Shaanxi Lingbao, all the way to the highway, Zhuang Rui car speed is very fast, more than 6:00 a.m. departure, but now at 1:00 p.m., has been considered to enter the Shaanxi territory.

After carefully driving a section of the road is not so good, after Tongguan and Huaxian two big famous places, Zhuang Rui is considered to be the hometown of the old three, Shaanxi Wei City.

This way through the historical city is quite a lot, especially in Henan places, in history witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties, Zhuang Rui also some regret, if enough time, it is possible to slowly line, I think in those cities, can find a lot of good objects.

Wei city is located in the eastern part of Shaanxi province, has a long history, a long history, since the Zhou, Qin to Han, Tang more than two thousand years, has been the twelve dynasties of the capital city, agriculture and animal husbandry, handicrafts, commerce, transportation are more developed. It has formed many famous cities and towns, and is also the gateway to Xi’an, which is known as “the main road of the three Qin provinces and the thoroughfare of eight provinces”.

Wei City has been known for agriculture, vast land, mild climate, abundant light, moderate precipitation, arable land accounted for 96% of the total area, for the comprehensive development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, regionalization of agriculture, commercialization, modernization provides favorable conditions, including grain, cotton, oilseed production in the province’s forefront, known as the “Shaanxi Granary”.

Lao San and Zhang Rong are Wei City under a county, after graduation from Zhonghai, after the civil service examination, into the hometown of small county inside the work, Lao San is in the Grain Bureau, Zhang Rong into the Finance Bureau, are very good, the two departments in the local belongs to the big bureau.

Zhuang Rui will directly drive the car to the Zhang Rong unit door, see Zhang Rong is standing in front of the door under a tree looking. Pulling the car over, he lowered the window and asked: ”Sister-in-law, where is Third Brother? He’s just willing to let you, the bride, show your face?”

“Just be poor! Long hair unit temporarily out of something, was called back to work overtime, tonight should be able to come back, I first take you to his home to live it! In the county town is a rented house, not very convenient.”

Zhang Rong pulled open the car door and sat in, she did not know her husband unit to engage in what hall of fame, from yesterday to Liu Changfa shouted to the unit, this is two days have not seen the shadow, if not Liu Changfa made a phone call back, she thought that her husband has been kidnapped it, of course, this is also has that 1 million, only after the idea, change to do before, who will kidnap her poor husband.

“Why don’t you guys buy a house in the city? This house price shouldn’t be very expensive, right?” Zhuang Rui started the car and casually asked.

“It’s easy for you to say, how could we have money to buy a house before! Long hair’s parents built a house at home, owed a butt of debt, these days I was looking at the house, but can’t catch up with the wedding, buy and then renovate it, it will take several months.”

Zhang Rong’s family is from the county, originally intended to both families to put together some money. In the county to buy a set of houses, but Liu Changfa parents said nothing to agree, have to build a house in the home, the money did not spend less, but they may not have time to live there later.

Zhang Rong is also good-tempered, can sympathize with the idea of the oldest three parents, if another person, I’m afraid that the nose is not the nose is not the eye of the uproar, which is to Zhuang Rui, only a few words of complaint.

The old three home is in the countryside, close to the border of LinTong, after arriving at the place, the sky is already almost dark, a smoke rises around, chicken barking endless small villages, appeared in the eyes of Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui will drive the car into the village, a group of bare-assed children don’t know where to come out, chasing after the car playfully, a few dogs are also lively, in the village that is not spacious on both sides of the road, there are still squatting with a bowl of rice in front of the door of the house of the adults, loudly scolded those children, but a pair of eyes are also staring at the Zhuang Rui’s car. Full of curiosity.

Under the guidance of Zhang Rong, after the car was parked in front of Lao San’s house, the children chasing after the car dispersed with a bang, but just didn’t leave, standing far away and looking this way.

Country people get married, the most important thing is the house, if the parents can not give their son to build a set of houses, then it will be looked down upon, although Liu Changfa went to college to spend a lot of money, but the family still borrowed a debt next to the old mansion, built a cottage for him. A room with five rooms and a yard outside, it is the best in the whole village.

In fact, Lao San and Zhang Rong may not be able to live here, this side of the county from their work, there are twenty to thirty kilometers of road it, back and forth is too inconvenient.

The old three did not want to let the building of this house, but the whole village only out of such a college student, and daughter-in-law is also a college student, double the face of things ah! So Liu father smashed pots and pans and borrowed a lot of money, or built up, if not have Zhuang Rui to give that million, I’m afraid that Lao San and Zhang Rong married within four or five years, that salary belongs to someone else.

After Zhuang Rui and Zhang Rong get off, Liu Changfa’s parents also welcomed out from the house, both are in their early fifties, may be the reason for doing farm work for many years, the face is a little bit old, know Zhuang Rui is a son’s classmate, is very enthusiastic, together with the oldest three of several younger siblings, clusters of Zhuang Rui to welcome to the house.

“Eva, this big dog of yours, but it’s extraordinary ah! E (my) village, none can compare, come, come and eat, hungry?”

Looking at the white lion following behind Zhuang Rui, Liu’s father had a wary expression on his face, and drove several children to the inner room, fearing that the white lion would rise up and hurt someone.

Knowing that his son had a classmate coming, Lao San’s parents had prepared the meal early and had been waiting.

“It’s okay, uncle, this dog doesn’t bite.”

Zhuang Rui was also a bit helpless. Now that the white lion is too big, it’s not very convenient to walk anywhere, and in this rural area full of dirt dogs, it can actually scare others.

Thinking about this, Zhuang Rui has some headaches, in the future he went to Beijing to go to school, this white lion is also a big problem, almost from birth to follow their own, if you put it in the villa, I’m afraid that no one can control it.

Liu’s father prepared wine and food, are Shaanxi’s specialties, dishes are beef and mutton, wine is Xifeng wine, which in Shaanxi is a famous wine, general guests will not be taken out, the main food is hot noodles, above also sprinkled with some green onions, pungent aroma makes Zhuang Rui appetites, and at the moment is not polite, sit on the table, pour Liu’s father, the masters and children drank up.

Zhang Rong is for the white lion to prepare food, she knows that this is Zhuang Rui’s baby, get a plate full of bones with broken meat crumbs, served out, but still have to Zhuang Rui took over on the ground, the white lion is willing to eat, even at home, the white lion will only eat Zhuang mother fed food, other people’s even do not even smell to smell.

Liu’s father did not say much, quite a simple rural man, just keep persuading Zhuang Rui wine, Xifeng wine is quite strong, a meal down, Zhuang Rui was drinking seven or eight, went to the old three of the new room to sleep.

The new room used by the countryside people to get married, the most afraid of girls to sleep, but if the big boys, there is no taboo, the old three of this new room themselves did not live a day, but let Zhuang Rui dial a first.

Driving a day car, Zhuang Rui is also tired not light, coupled with alcohol on the rise, drowsy sleep, a sleep to the next morning, only to be woken up by the noise of the yard.

In the countryside, the wedding wine or follow the old rules, flowing banquet, a table to eat and then change, dishes are non-stop on the ground, buy a lot of things, so a few days in advance to do the preparations, this noisy people, is to send the dishes.

“Third brother, when did you come back?”

Zhuang Rui got up and walked to the courtyard, and saw at a glance that Lao San was going around giving people cigarettes!

“Yesterday night back, a little late, see you fall asleep and did not shout you, the oldest, really sorry, the unit out of a little urgent things, only yesterday is sort of dealt with.”

The oldest turned around and saw Zhuang Rui, hurriedly ran over, the things over there naturally have the brothers of the family greeted.

Zhuang Rui knows the nature of Lao San’s work, can’t help but be a little strange, asked: “Aren’t you in the Finance Section? And then urgent things off you what business, this immediately ready to get married, still toss you ah?”

“Don’t mention it, we’re about to make a big name for ourselves in the country.” Lao San’s expression was a bit odd.

“What is it? Tell …… us,” Zhuang Rui came to the interest.

“Hey, a gang of grave robbers do not do their job, put so many ancient tombs not to dig, changed into rats to steal oil, one of our county’s oil storage tanks fast to steal empty, yesterday called me to go, is the statistics of the loss.”

“Grave robbers stealing oil? Cooking oil, huh?”

Hearing Lao San’s words, Zhuang Rui also felt a bit incredulous.
