Liu Lang's parents had already returned home early. After all, Liu Lang had too many things to do, and Liu Donglai and his wife were eager to return home. Besides, with Wang Zhendong's special car to pick them up, there wouldn't be much trouble.
Wang Zhendong specially asked the army to send a truck to take Liu Donglai and his wife back to Fucheng. The reason why it was a truck was to transport the "goods" that the two bought from the United States and in the capital. There were so many of these things that they basically occupied the truck.
A truck body weighs almost a ton.
Of course Liu Lang returned to Fucheng with Sun Hu. The two set out from the capital in the morning and arrived in Shencheng at noon.
"Liu Lang, now another road has been built between Shencheng and Fucheng. How about it? How about we give this road a try?"
Sun Hu pointed to the road ahead and said to Liu Lang, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Built another road?"
Liu Lang was a little surprised.
"Well, now that the country is vigorously developing its economy, it needs much more steel and coal than before. You have a lot of coal in Fucheng. In the past, there was only one railway and highway in Fucheng, and the transportation volume was not enough. Last year, we simply went from Fucheng to Shenyang
The city has built a road. It was just completed a month ago. It is 170 kilometers long, which is more than 30 kilometers closer than the previous road. I haven't walked it yet!"
Sun Hu served as a soldier and fought in wars. Such people have an incomparable affection for roads. As long as a new road appears in front of them, they want to walk and understand the "terrain".
"Okay! Let's go, let's take a shortcut!"
Liu Lang immediately said that he was also interested because this road should not have appeared in his previous life.
"Okay, let's go!"
Sun Hu stepped on the accelerator and the car sped out!
The car was driving on a flat road, with large fields of farmland on both sides. However, it was winter now and the fields were bare. If it were summer and autumn, there would be endless crops everywhere as far as the eye could see.
From the car, looking through the car window into the distance, one can vaguely see a series of mud houses, and occasionally there will be figures of people passing by in the courtyard.
The vast land, the distant courtyard, and the expectation of returning home made Liu Lang sing the American folk song "Country Road" involuntarily.
It's paradise! West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
The life there is ancient, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growing slowly like the wind.
Country roads, take me home, to where I grew up - West Virginia, Mountain Mama, country roads, take me home...
This song is a country song composed and sung by the famous American country singer John Denver in 1971. The song has a brisk melody and depicts a beautiful western American scenery and dashing cowboys. Denver is also famous for this song.
The song became one of the top three country singers in American history, and at this time, the song also perfectly expressed Liu Lang's mood.
Liu Lang hummed in English, with a clear childlike voice and a cheerful melody. Even though Sun Hu couldn't understand what he was singing, the music had no limits, and Sun Hu couldn't help but be infected by the tune and started humming along.
The car was speeding on the road, with the fastest speed approaching one hundred kilometers per hour. The only good thing about this era is that the green mountains and green waters are sparsely populated. It’s not that there are no people, but that people rarely travel. It took the car half an hour to see a few cars occasionally.
The truck carrying coal is almost celebrating the New Year, twenty years
The next era will be the Spring Festival travel period, when the roads are basically full of vehicles, and there is no need to think about the distance of more than 100 kilometers for five or six hours. How can Sun Hu "run" without any scruples like he does now? He is still worried about this.
Liu Lang was afraid that if he were to drive by himself, he would step on the accelerator to the bottom.
The car galloped forward, and a village appeared not far away, and the road passed through the middle of the village.
The car slowly slowed down and drove into the village.
The villages are all low-rise mud houses. Liu Lang's grandma's family is in the countryside. However, that place can only be regarded as a suburban area. However, the household registrations are all rural ones. Some people also work in the city, such as Liu Lang's grandfather.
He works in the railway department and is a public servant.
This is a rural area where the people rely entirely on farming for food. If there are droughts and floods, the crops in the fields will fail, which will be troublesome, and they may not have enough to eat. However, in the north
The climate is pretty good, and there are very few years with extreme weather. Generally speaking,
There will be two good years and one bad year every five years. The grain produced in the two good years is enough to cope with the bad years in addition to the rations for that year. Unlike many places in the south, there will be enough food in five years.
Two or three years will be a bad year. Even if there is a good harvest one year, the surplus grain will not be enough to cope with the bad years.
After Sun Hu's car drove several hundred meters into the village, he suddenly stopped suddenly, looked forward, and involuntarily touched his waist, where he found a pistol.
"What's going on?"
Liu Lang was shocked when he saw Sun Hu actually pulling out a gun. Could it be that he encountered a road robber? No! Farmers in the 1980s were very simple. How could there be any evil forces?
"Liu Lang, look there!"
Sun Hu pointed ahead, Liu Lang looked over and saw three jeeps.
Seeing a Jeep in China's large rural areas in the 1980s? This is simply impossible. Moreover, there is a Toyota Jeep produced in the island country. This kind of car costs nearly one million yuan, and no one in the entire country can afford it.
rise.
The car was on the one hand, and Liu Lang saw a banner taped to the back of the car, which read: Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue Film Crew.
"Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue? What is this?"
Liu Lang was very curious. These characters were still traditional Chinese characters. You must know that the mainland has long used simplified characters. Only the Chinese in Hong Kong Island, Bay Area and overseas use traditional Chinese characters.
"Liu Lang, those words are in traditional Chinese. I'm afraid they are agents from Wanwan coming to collect intelligence. Don't get out of the car. I'll go take a look!"
Sun Hu also discovered the problem and opened the door after speaking.
"Wait a minute! I remembered!"
Liu Lang pulled Sun Hu.
"What did you remember?"
Sun Hu was stunned.
What Liu Lang remembered was an incident in his past life. In the 1980s, an artist from Wanwan filmed a documentary called "Eight Thousand Miles of Road to Clouds and Moons". He led his team over the course of several
In a month, I traveled through the mountains and rivers of the motherland, from cities to villages; from the inland to the coast; from plateaus to valleys; from deserts to mountains.
District, this documentary is very rich in content, covering people, culture, historical sites, scenery, music and dance, acrobatics and martial arts, folk customs and daily necessities of life, the magnificent mountains, rivers and customs of the motherland, in this artist's humorous narration
Next, it was flexible, vivid, touching, and infected countless audiences.
This documentary was probably released in the mainland in the early 1990s. It caused a sensation immediately after its release. This artist is also well-known to the mainland people, and his reputation is no less than that of the singer Liu who sang "One Fire".
Lang seems to have watched an episode. The reason why he said he seems to have watched it is because it was so long ago that the plot of that year has been forgotten. Liu Lang can only search out that memory by entering the depths of his memory with his consciousness.
