Chapter 1246 Pastoral

Wang Yun got into Han Jinyue's car, saying she wanted to experience what a luxury car felt like. She was also very straightforward and didn't like to suppress her thoughts.

As for Zhao Cheng, he drove the second-hand van he had just bought for several thousand yuan.

The car is very shabby, but it can perfectly meet the needs of transporting various materials when Zhao Cheng renovates his hometown in the suburbs. In addition, in terms of cost-effectiveness, there is no better one.

He has only been working for a short period of time and has little savings. He has no intention of cheating by using his supernatural powers. In this case, he will lose the starting point of fulfilling his wishes.

Using magical powers is like using modifiers in a development game. When everything can be changed, the game loses its fun and meaning.

For this kind of game, the important and fun part is the process.

As for causes and conditions, what is important is actually the process. Without the process, causes and conditions are empty.

It gets dark very quickly in winter. At around four o'clock, the sky is still very bright, but by five o'clock, twilight appears naturally, and red clouds appear on the horizon.

Zhao Cheng was driving very fast, and a hoarse singing voice with poor sound quality could be heard from the worn-out car speakers.

The scenery on both sides quickly receded and the sun set, but in Zhao Cheng's spiritual world, there was a kind of simple happiness.

This era is very impetuous, and happiness seems to have been isolated from many people, but in fact, happiness is not that complicated and unattainable.

A broken car, a little bit of your own time, and a pretty good pop song. If you can immerse yourself in it, happiness will come quietly.

And for Zhao Cheng in the past, it was not difficult to obtain these, but at that time he was still like most people, never satisfied, always thinking about a better future, thinking about illusory things, but instead Ignore the many things that are readily available.

And after ignoring all this, I will suddenly wake up one morning or in the middle of the night and begin to regret the emptiness and meaninglessness of life.

But in fact, many things are right in front of you.

Qicheng is not a big city, but in just over ten minutes, Zhao Chenggong drove to his destination in the suburbs.

What you see is a low two-story building. Because of the time, the outer layer of the house has long been weathered, so it looks very shabby. In addition, this is an old building, and its aesthetics is different from that of people of this era. They match too well, so they are even more unsightly.

As early as more than ten years ago, the Zhao family moved to the city. The house here was actually abandoned.

However, one advantage of our own construction is that we do not cut corners and the materials used are all real.

Although the house in front of you looks dilapidated and shabby, in fact, it is only broken on the outside. Inside, not only are the corners dug deep, but the entire frame of the house is made of reinforced concrete. The main feature is a building that can be passed on. Several generations, living there for hundreds of years.

However, few people can imagine that the times have developed so fast. Things that were originally thought of as family heirlooms are now being discarded in large numbers.

"You live here?!"

After getting off the car, both Han Jinyue and Wang Yun couldn't help but frown.

In fact, there is a huge gap between this and the pastoral scene they imagined.

Their ideal pastoral is a small house just like in a fairy tale, with large expanses of grassland, fruit trees, gurgling water, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

But the reality is that the only advantage of dilapidated houses, empty land, and narrow ditches is that there are no factories around, so the water is still clear, and because it is still winter, there are no impurities in the water. Damn it, so it still looks like that.

"It's still a bit chilly to look at it now, but haven't I just started construction? When spring comes, I plan to plant fruit trees on both sides of the ditch. Look at this area at the door. Look at this road. This is what I did some time ago. , I laid it myself. It was hard to find blue bricks at this time. I searched a lot of places before I found a batch of old bricks that had been hoarded more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, the family originally planned to build a house for their children. , so I bought a lot, but then I bought a house in the city, so the bricks were just piled up without being used.”

"I plan to plant various fruits and vegetables on both sides of the road. Looking at the shelves, I have made them all myself. Since there are no people in the village, there are a lot of wild bamboos. This kind of bamboo does not grow tall, but it is used for making The shelf is excellent.”

Zhao Cheng introduced the two of them enthusiastically. When he said this, he gave people the feeling that his whole person was glowing and full of vitality.

"By the way, look at this. This is the manual sprinkler I made. When it's time to water, you just need to pinch the water pipe to turn it into a water gun, which is just enough to water the ground in front."

"As for this area, I plan to use a fence to surround the whole house and this area, and plant some evergreen climbing plants on the fence."

While talking, Zhao Cheng had already opened the door. He didn't lock it when he went out because there was nothing valuable at home.

As soon as the door was opened, what appeared in their eyes was a pile of utensils made of mud, including vats, basins, and bowls. These utensils were placed on simple shelves made of bamboo and were being dried.

Seeing these things, the two of them couldn't help but have questions in their heads. In this era, the prices of these things are extremely cheap. Are you sure you are doing this for pastoral life, not survival in the wilderness? !

"When I watched Robinson Crusoe before, my favorite part was the part where Robinson burned his own utensils. So now that I have time, I tried it myself, but I don't know if I can burn it later."

"Also, you must not tell anyone about this. It is not allowed to burn wood casually now. I plan to do it secretly."

Zhao Cheng said seriously.

This serious expression made the two people laugh directly.

At this time, they were also a little into the play. They no longer felt that this place was shabby. Instead, they felt a strange sense of freedom from Zhao Cheng and this place.

A hundred years of life is just a dream. It is undoubtedly wonderful to be able to do what you want.

Indeed, this scene is very different from the ideal pastoral idyll, but the beauty brought by that freedom is not discounted at all.

At this moment, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little envious.

While talking, Zhao Cheng had already pushed open the back of the house and brought the two to the backyard.

It is called a backyard, but in fact it is a piece of wasteland. Outside the door, there is also a road paved with blue bricks, which leads to the river and turns into stairs leading down.
