Zhou Zhi's hometown is Zhaoqiao Town in Meizhou City, which is actually not very far from Rongcheng. If you drive, you can reach the market in the town in three hours and twenty minutes.

The bus requires a transfer and takes four hours to reach Meizhou city.

There is a shuttle bus to Meizhou City from Dongmen Station in Rongcheng every day. After arriving in Meizhou, you can transfer to Zhaoqiao Town in an hour and a half.

Of course, when you get to town, you still need to take a motorcycle and drive for twenty minutes to get to Zhou Zhi's real hometown.

Therefore, when Zhou Zhi arrived at Zhaoqiao Town that day, it was already half past two in the afternoon. At this time, the town was sparsely populated, with only a few large red motorcycles parked in the shade of the trees beside the bridge.

This is a motorcycle. Of course, these motorcycles are not formal. They are people who have nothing to do at home and come out to earn extra money.

When Zhou Zhi approached, several people were smoking and chatting.

"Are you going to Honghu Village?" Zhou Zhi asked directly.

As soon as a few middle-aged men heard Zhou Zhi's local accent, they immediately said: "Go, we'll leave immediately for ten yuan."

"Last time I came back it was only eight yuan, why is it ten yuan this time?" Zhou Zhi asked instead of getting in the car immediately.

"Isn't it because the price of gas has increased? Now everywhere is ten yuan, not eight yuan anymore, and the road in Honghu Village is still difficult." The man immediately said with a simple face.

"I just came back a month ago last time. Prices have gone up so quickly. Eight yuan is enough. Besides, the roads here are difficult. I'm from Honghu." Zhou Zhi shook his head.

"Young man is from Honghu Village. It's only eight yuan for that line." The middle-aged man nodded.

"Thank you, master." After saying that, Zhou Zhi got directly into the back seat of the middle-aged man's car.

The motorcycle started quickly and the journey was quite exciting because the roads leading to Honghu Village or all the villages under Zhaoqiao Town were difficult to walk.

The road from the village to the town is still a yellow mud road. It's fine on a sunny day, but it will be a little dusty. If it rains, it will be really muddy.

And Honghu Village is even worse. The roads in other villages at least have no slope, but Honghu Village has slopes of various sizes.

From a distance, the road looks like undulating hills and winding snakes. In short, there is no smooth place.

Therefore, this journey can be said to be very exciting.

"Why are you back now, young man? You are so young." The master asked while driving.

"Come back to your hometown and have a look." Zhou Zhi responded with his head tilted.

"Oh, it's good to come back and have a look. Many young people who went out here have not come back for the New Year. It's also because we are too poor here. The roads are still like this after so many years. It's pointless to come back. It also delays you young people, or not. Come back soon." The master sighed.

"Yeah." Zhou Zhi, who didn't go back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, responded with some embarrassment and didn't say much.

The churning sound of the motorcycle drove all the way to Honghu Village. Soon they arrived at the junction of Honghu Village and Hongyan Village, and the master spoke again.

"Where are you, young man?" asked the master.

"On the stone bridge at the bottom of the slope in front." Zhou Zhi took advantage of the uphill slope and pointed to the stone bridge road that could be vaguely seen in front of him.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." The master responded.

It said it would arrive immediately but it took five minutes.

After getting off Zhou Zhi and paying, the master got on the motorcycle and turned around and left.

Standing on the old stone bridge, you can vaguely see a tile-roofed house on the slope hidden in the bamboo forest, and that is Zhou Zhi's hometown.

Under the stone bridge is a shallow river. The water is very shallow and glows silver in the sun. Zhou Zhi caught small fish down there when he was a boy.

"I haven't been back for a long time. Fortunately, I brought my keys with me." Zhou Zhi touched the side pocket of his backpack, and there was a jingling sound coming from inside.

"I guess it hasn't rained recently, it's really sunny." Zhou Zhi slowly walked up the slope. The sun was very strong, and the soil on the road was dry and turned to dust.

Zhou Zhi's home was about a hundred meters away from where he got off the bus. Although the journey was short, it was all uphill, so Zhou Zhi was already sweating profusely when he arrived at the door of his house.

"We're finally here." Zhou Zhi reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at the two closed wooden doors with emotion.

The house in front of me is very old at first glance. The white ash on the exterior walls is a little mottled. The door facing the path is also full of traces of time. The locks on it are still old-fashioned and the bottom is rusty.

The doorway is actually cooler because it is shielded by the door head and the bamboo forest.

Zhou Zhi took out the key and opened the wooden door.

With a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open, and what came into view was a wide cement yard. The sun was shining, and there was fine dust in the air. There were large stones under the porch, and some weeds were stubbornly growing through the gaps. grew out.

"Although it's a bit old, it's very clean. I'll have to thank Third Grandpa later." Zhou Zhi said as he walked inside.

Yes, they rarely come back to Zhou Zhi's old house, but it is their old house after all, so they asked the third grandfather and his family to take care of it when they have time.

Now it seems that the third grandfather's family has taken good care of it. Otherwise, it would not be as clean and tidy as it is now. I'm afraid it would have been overgrown with weeds.

The whole old house is a zigzag building. The main door is opened on the roadside near the bamboo forest. Straight ahead, there is a side door. There is a small pool one meter away from the side door. The water flows from the mountain behind Zhou Zhi's house. down.

There are pig pens and chicken coops next to the outer wall. However, because the well-known grandparents have passed away and the parents open a snack bar outside, the place has long been abandoned, leaving only space.

There are four side rooms on the left and right of the entrance, and two on each side.

To the right of the door is the kitchen and dining room. The side room near the side door used to be a place for storing firewood and grain.

Directly opposite the door are five main rooms. In the middle was the house of my grandparents, but when they got older, they moved out of there and lived in a small side room near the kitchen. It has been used to stack well-known books and books. Some things that are not commonly used, or can no longer be used.

The main house near the kitchen is where Zhou Zhi's parents once lived, and they haven't lived there for more than ten years. After all, Zhou Zhi's parents went out to work not long after they got married.

Zhou Zhi's room is in the place where his parents lived. Yes, Zhou Zhi was taken out by his parents when he was still a baby.

So I don’t officially have my own room yet.

"Creak!" The old wooden door made an old sound, and Zhou Zhi opened all the doors to the rooms.

The kitchen is still a large firewood stove, but some basic kitchen utensils are still there. In the side room near the side door, only the firewood pile is still piled with some firewood, and the food pile is empty. The five main rooms were all empty except for the one where the well-known things were kept, but the five double canopy beds inside were very conspicuous.

After all, it was the main house. Even if we didn't live in it, a bed was made and placed in it at that time. Zhou Zhi stepped forward and pushed it with his hand, and found that the bed was still very strong.

"As expected, Grandpa made the bed himself. It is still so strong after all these years." Zhou Zhi said with emotion.

Yes, Zhou Zhi’s grandfather was a well-known carpenter in the village when he was alive. People may not be able to react to his name at the moment, but when he talks about Zhou Carpenter, he must be referring to Zhou Zhi’s grandfather, which is evident from this.

After seeing the condition of the room, Zhou Zhi called out to the system in his heart: "This house belongs to me. The first task is completed."

The system quickly replied to Zhou Zhi's question: "The mission is not completed."
