Chapter 55: The Eldest Uncle's Family
That night, Meng Jing cooked a big table of delicious food, and the He family of four, plus Zhao Xinxin, Wang Xuewu, Dāozi and Hóuzi, a total of eight people celebrated the joy of "new home".
He Dong didn't tell He Qianjin too much about Wang Xuewu and the others' identities, only telling them that they were his friends, Wang Xuewu was injured in a car accident and was recovering at his place, while Dāozi and Hóuzi had come to accompany Wang Xuewu.
The He family is very hospitable, and Wang Xuewu, Zhao Xinxin, Dazi, and Houzi are all very talkative and have sweet mouths, so soon everyone got together without any awkwardness.
Especially Wang Xuewu and He Xi, the two men's ages are not much different, and their personalities also belong to the more lively type, so they get along even better, and in no time they became "inseparable".
"Wu Ge, is that Emperor Hui Club you mentioned really that good?" At this time, Wang Xue was proudly telling Hao Xi about his great achievements in the capital, while Hao Xi was listening with a face full of envy and admiration, leaning in close to Wang Xue.
"That's for sure, there's nothing you can't think of, and nothing you can't enjoy!" Wang Xuewu said with a smug expression.
"Wu Ge, is there a casino there? Like the one in the movie God of Gamblers?" He Xi asked with sparkling eyes.
"How could there not be? Not only are there casinos, but also horse racing, dog fighting and underground boxing! In the past, I was invincible in the gambling world, no matter what, I was always a master!" Wang Xuewu said with relish.
He Dong did not go to reason with Wang Xuewu and He Xi, he was now sitting beside He Qianjin and Meng Jing, listening to his parents' nagging.
"Son, although you've earned money, this money absolutely cannot be spent recklessly. What should be saved still needs to be saved."
"Son, although you have money now, you can't abandon your studies. Having a skill is the foundation of making a living!"
"My son...!"
Although his parents' words seemed a bit nagging, He Dong did not show any impatience, but instead enjoyed the warmth of this family.
"By the way, son, there's something else I forgot to tell you! Your eldest uncle came to our house a few days ago and wanted you to go over and help him out!" Meng Jing suddenly said.
"Help? Alright, what's up?" Eldest Uncle had taken care of their family before and Eldest Auntie treated the two brothers like her own sons, so He Dong nodded directly without thinking.
"Your uncle's sheep have some problems! Aren't you a veterinary student? So he wants you to go and take a look!" Meng Jing said.
"Great, I'm on holiday now, I'll go tomorrow!" He Dong agreed very readily.
The next morning, He Dong set out to his uncle's house early in the morning. The sheep was sick and needed treatment, which was also a good opportunity for him to show off his skills. This kind of win-win situation was exactly what He Dong liked to do.
However, his good mood was soon ruined by the poor road conditions. His uncle's home was in a small mountain village called Qing Shan Village, which used to be an extremely impoverished place where families were so poor that they only had one pair of pants to share among themselves, whoever went out wore them.
Later, with the rise of tourism and the popularity of farmhouse stays, this geographically remote but picturesque place gradually became prosperous.
His elder brother-in-law also seized the opportunity to raise a large number of locally famous black goats, which have fine and delicate meat quality, moderate fat content, beautiful appearance, and refreshing taste. Whether it's grilled or cooked in soup, it's exceptionally delicious and is a signature dish for local farmers, with very high sales volume.
Qingshan Village has developed, but many facilities are not yet complete, especially the road to Qingshan Village, which is still a primitive dirt road. In the past, He Dong and others walked to their uncle's house, so they didn't have any special feelings, but today, taking a car, they were suddenly shaken by this dirt road, almost vomiting up last night's dinner.
"Master, if only we had an off-road vehicle. This road would be nothing to it." Zhao Xinxin knew that after He Dong gave the two black Audis to He Qianjin, he began to persuade He Dong to buy an off-road vehicle, and now was not letting go of the best opportunity to do so.
"Alright, alright, don't say anymore. When we get back, we'll buy off-road vehicles and sports cars, okay?" Wang Xuewu had a strong affection for sports cars, and He Xi might have been influenced by him, also leaning towards Wang Xuewu's side when choosing cars. At home, they had argued about this for half a day, and now hearing Zhao Xinxin bring it up again, their heads suddenly got bigger, thinking that they didn't lack money either, so they finally made the decision.
"Hurray! There's an off-road vehicle! Master, what brand of car should we buy? Jeep? Land Rover? Mercedes-Benz? Ah, let's buy a Hummer! Master, let's buy a Hummer!" Zhao Xinxin excitedly said.
"Whatever!" He Dong liked cars too, but he didn't have the same strange infatuation with them as other men did.
"Land Rover and Hummer are both good, I like them both, which one should I buy?" This time it's Zhao Xinxin's turn to be worried.
Just as Zhao Xinxin was chattering away, He Dong and the others finally arrived at Qing Shan Village. After entering the village, the road conditions improved dramatically.
If it were in the past, if a car appeared in Qing Shan Village, let alone an Audi, even a small QQ with big eyes would attract half of the villagers to come and watch.
But in recent years, there have been more people coming to play here, and many of them are driving cars that are even better than Audi. So the appearance of He Dong and others did not attract much attention from others, except when He Dong stopped his car at the gate of his elder brother's house, a few neighbors came over to take a look.
"Hey? Isn't this Xiao Dong from Xiao Jing's family who went to college?"
"Who says Xiao Jing's family has poor living conditions? Look, they've even got a small car now!"
"It's been more than half a year since we last met, and Xiao Dong is getting more spirited as he grows up."
"Look! Look, the driver is a beautiful woman!"
"Can this be Xiao Dong's girlfriend?"
He Dong used to come to his uncle's house for every Chinese New Year and sometimes would stay for a few days, so the neighbors around were all very familiar with him. As soon as He Dong got off the car, everyone recognized him, but they all felt quite surprised at some of the changes in He Dong.
"Hey, Fifth Uncle!... Third Aunt, who's that you're holding? Ah! It's Second Uncle's kid. I haven't seen him in half a year, and now he has kids?! Great Grandma, your body is even more robust than last year!" He Dong immediately started chatting with the familiar neighbors as soon as he got off the car.
"Xiao Dong, come see your uncle!" The oldest great-uncle looked at He Dong with kindness and asked.
"Yes, I heard that my uncle's sheep have been having some problems lately, and since I'm studying veterinary medicine, I came over to take a look!" He Dong said frankly.
"Well then, hurry up and go! Your uncle has been worried sick about you lately!" said the old man with a nod.
