Chapter 181
181 Return to the Village
Fang Ming, who had already walked closer: “…”
He could only return.
His boss’s behavior was becoming more and more dog-like.
“Um… Forget it, it’s fine.” Le Yao hesitated for a moment before hanging up. She wanted to ask about Lu Minan, but she suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.
Nangong Jue was speechless.
Why should he forget it? There’s something she wanted to say, he would be happy to listen.
Unfortunately, the other side had already hung up.
Because the space in the car was small, everyone more or less heard Nangong Jue’s words on the phone.
Everyone knew the consequences of the car accident. After all, the news had already been reported, but they didn’t know what to say to express their feelings. In the end, they could only sigh and fall silent.
“Lan.” After a long time, Han Baozhu patted Le Yao’s shoulder.
Soon, the car left the town-level highway and drove onto the road into the village. Previously, it was an asphalt road, but now, it was a gravel road.
After crossing a small mountain, they arrived at the village entrance.
As it was August, the sowing had already ended and it was not yet the autumn harvest. Therefore, it was considered free time. As long as it was not time to eat or sleep, everyone would gather under the trees at the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade and chat. Men would smoke and play chess, while women would munch on sunflower seeds and knit sweaters. Their laughter could be heard from afar.
At this moment, two cars drove over and attracted the attention of the people in the shade.
The car stopped. Liu Sujuan was the first to get out of the car. Then, she helped Han Baozhu out of the car. Han Xiangdong, who was behind, also got out.
“Isn’t this Baozhu and Sujuan? They’re back…” Someone ran over. “Baozhu’s leg, is it healed?”
“That’s right, Second Aunt. I’m healed.” Han Baozhu smiled and nodded. He even took two steps.
“But the doctor said that he still needs to recuperate,” Liu Sujuan added.
“Not bad.” Second Aunt smiled and nodded.
The people behind also gathered around and started talking at once.
“That’s good. We were just saying that we don’t know how you guys are doing. You really came at the right time…”
“They went to the big city. The doctors there are really amazing. You can’t even tell that he had fractured his leg before. Someone from my family also broke his leg. He underwent surgery in the county city. Now, he can’t even walk properly…”
“Sujuan, after not seeing you for a few months, your face has turned fairer. You look like a city wife.”
“Lan is even prettier. She’s as pretty as a fairy.
“Xiangdong looks like a city boy. You don’t have a girlfriend yet, right? Let me introduce you to someone. My sister-in-law’s family has a niece…”
In short, the content of the conversation was simply varied, and it was especially jumpy. If she didn’t have memories, Le Yao felt that she wouldn’t be able to keep up.
In the original book, it was said that after Han Baozhu’s accident, it was these people in the village who collectively pooled money to treat his leg. There were a total of 68 families in the village, and all of them contributed money and effort. Even if there might be some conflicts usually, they did not stand by and watch. They pooled together 100,000 yuan.
“Alright, stop surrounding him.” At this moment, an old man carrying a pipe pot walked over. “Are you going to let him go back and tidy up?”
This person was the village chief of Pear Tree Village, Han Kuan. He was a highly respected person. Although he was only in his fifties, his seniority was high. Le Yao had to call him Eighth Great Grandfather, and Han Baozhu and Liu Sujuan had to call him Eighth Grandfather.
