The last relocated household that was most difficult to deal with finally compromised when forced to do so. At this point, all the relocated households in Erdaohe District E signed a compensation agreement with the demolition office, and the demolition project team successfully entered.

At this point, Dai Jialang can be said to have successfully completed the task assigned to him by Zhou Jiyao.

Dai Jialang originally thought Zhou Jiyao would call him personally, but he knew that Wang Qiming should have reported to Zhou Jiyao the progress of the project.

But strangely, seeing New Year's Day, Zhou Jiyao not only did not call him, nor did he show any sign of asking him to go back, as if he had forgotten him.

Dai Jialang originally wanted to call Zhou Jiyao in person, but he always felt a bit suspicious of taking credit. Since Wang Qiming had already made a report, Zhou Jiyao could not be unclear about the situation on Erdaohe.

Could it be that Wang Qiming was doing something? It’s impossible. Logically, he was eager to let himself leave Erdaohe, so how could he hide the progress of the project?

"Mr. Wang, have you explained it clearly to the chairman? All the demolition households have signed an agreement, and I have nothing to do here." Two days later, Dai Jialang couldn't hold it in, so he had to ask Wang Qiming in person.

Wang Qiming said frankly: "Not only did I make it clear, I also specially praised your contribution. Why? The chairman didn't call you?"

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do here. He should know. Didn't he say anything else?"

Wang Qiming also said with a suspicion: "Can I hide it from you? I thought he would call you back soon, but he really didn't mention this. I think you are also anxious. New Year's Day is coming, and there will be news before the holiday."

Dai Jialang hesitated for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask you for two days off. Anyway, I'm bored staying here."

"What? Are you going to go back to the city?" Wang Qiming asked.

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "I want to go back to my hometown. I may not be able to go back to celebrate the New Year this year. I might as well go home to see my mother when I have time."

Wang Qiming asked: "Where is your hometown?"

Dai Jialang said: "Yunling County is not far away. If you drive, you will arrive in three hours."

Wang Qiming waved his hand and said, "What else do you want? Just go there. As long as there is news from the chairman, I will notify you. I think it will not delay New Year's Day."

Dai Jialang left as soon as he said he could leave. He originally wanted to take Zhao Yang with him, but he was afraid that Zhou Jiyao would be unhappy and had to give up the idea. However, out of vanity, he drove the Land Rover back.

Yunling County is a mountainous area, with more than 60% of the territory being hilly. Only the county town is located on an alluvial plain. The population of the county does not exceed 200,000, which is a poor and backward area.

However, in recent years, the county government has used tourism and planting to drive local economic development, and the income of the people has gradually increased, especially the development and changes in the county town are no longer comparable in the past.

Dai Jialang's home is in Yuankou Village, Tangguan Town, Yunling County, and is still more than ten kilometers away from the county town. Soon after leaving Tangguan Town, there was no asphalt road. A dirt road is not only uneven, but also eroded by rain. Fortunately, Dai Jialang drove a Land Rover Off-road vehicle, so it is no problem to take such a road.

Dai Jialang hasn't been home for two years. Thinking about the shabby scene when he came out of his home two years ago, now he is so proud and returning home in glory. Therefore, the closer he is to home, the more excited he feels, and he wishes he can fly to the door of his house all at once.

It is winter and the slack season. There is no one in the fields. It is not until the entrance of the village that I saw two wives washing clothes in the pond.

Further forward is a small two-story western-style building. Dai Jialang knew that this was a newly built house at the family of Wang Fugui, the richest man in the village, the family of Wang Fugui, the richest man in the village, and it was also the best house in Yuankou Village.

I saw three or four elderly old men and women sitting on the concrete floor in front of the door. The old men were holding a cup of tea in their hands, and the old women were chatting while doing handicraft work. When they saw a car driving in, everyone stopped.

Dai Jialang's home is in the innermost part of the village, and the car cannot be driven in at all. He can only park the car in front of Wang Fugui's house. Before he could get out of the car, he saw his mother Wang Meijuan and several old ladies sitting there doing handicraft work.

"Oh, Meijuan, isn't this your little army?" an old lady said in surprise.

Dai Jialang had called his brother Wang Gengtian before he came back, so Wang Meijuan was not surprised, but was just surprised by the car his son drove back.

"Oh, Xiaojun, where did this come from the car?" Wang Meijuan asked as soon as Dai Jialang got off the car.

Dai Jialang smiled and said, "Mom, this is the company's car."

Wang Meijuan wondered: "Why did you drive the company's car back? How much does it cost to drive such a long way?"

Dai Jialang took out a big bag from the car and carried it on his back, pulled his mother's arm and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about this, where are my dad and my brother?"

Wang Meijuan picked up her small stool and followed her son home, saying, "Don't you know you're coming back? They all went to Tangguan Town. There were still a few loads of sweet potatoes in their home, and now they can be sold at a good price."

Dai Jialang said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? I brought them back when I passed by Tangguan Town."

Wang Meijuan said: "Your brother is riding a tricycle. How can you take a ride at such a little road?"

As he spoke, he came to his door and saw a dilapidated yellow mud house. The exterior walls had changed color. Both sides of the steps were covered with moss. There were four or five chickens for food at the door. There were chicken manure everywhere on the ground. There was a chicken with hair hanging on the wall of the door.

"This is specially killed for you to eat. This chicken has been around for more than four years and hasn't laid much eggs anymore." Wang Meijuan said.

As he was talking, a woman in her forties walked out of the door, which was Dai Jialang's sister-in-law Guiqin.

Wang Meijuan said: "I have something wrong with my hands and feet these two days. Your sister-in-law comes here to help cook food."

Guiqin smiled at Dai Jialang and said, "Oh, you'll get home so soon? I thought I'd have to have lunch before I could arrive."

Wang Meijuan said: "Xiaojun drove back, of course it's soon."

Dai Jialang said, "Mom, I didn't come from Nanzhao City. I have been working in Erdaohe a while ago, and this time I came back directly from Erdaohe." After that, he stared at his mother's reaction.

Sure enough, Wang Meijuan frowned and opened her mouth, looking a little confused, but then she said, "Erdaohe, that's much closer."

At this time, two girls came from outside, one was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was thirteen or fourteen years old. They were both Wang Gengtian's daughter and the niece of the Dai family. The eldest was named Wang Qing and the younger one was Wang Mei.

After all, Wang Mei was young. When she saw Dai Jialang, she hurriedly ran up and pulled his arm and called "Uncle", while Wang Qing stood aside and looked reserved.

Dai Jialang reached out to touch Wang Mei's head and asked, "Why didn't you go to school?"

Wang Mei smiled and said, "Oh, it's vacation."

Dai Jialang slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm so confused." As he said that, he smiled at Wang Qing and said, "I haven't seen you for two years, Xiao Qing has grown into a big girl."

Guiqin smiled and said, "I already know that I am ashamed, and I don't even shout when I see my uncle."

Dai Jialang asked, "Did you graduate from high school this year?"

Guiqin said: "Who said no, I will take the college entrance examination in the second half of the year."

Dai Jialang asked, "How are the grades?"

Guiqin sighed and said, "Ask her?"

Wang Qing said shyly: "It's normal."

Dai Jialang knew that his eldest niece was not a learning material. Generally speaking, there was no smoke coming from the Wang family's ancestral tomb and college students could not be found. Of course, this had nothing to do with their Dai family.

Wang Meijuan said to Wang Mei: "Go to the house to move a few chairs out. The house is cold, just sit in the yard to bask in the sun." After that, he picked up a big broom and swept the chicken manure on the ground aside.

After Wang Qing and Wang Mei met Dai Jialang, they ran out to play. Guiqin said, "I'll go to the vegetable field to pick up some vegetables, and wait until the farmland and they can have lunch."

After Guiqin went out, Dai Jialang sat down on a chair, took out a cigarette and lit it, glanced at his mother, and said, "Mom, you have bad eyes. Don't do this kind of needlework. How much money can you make? Don't break your eyes? Didn't I send back 200,000 yuan last year? Isn't it enough for your daily expenses?"

Wang Meijuan said: "Anyway, I'm idle, I'm fine, and I'm going to make more money. There's nothing wrong with my eyes, but I just cry from time to time."

He paused and whispered, "Xiaojun, how did you get that money? I don't dare to move without asking clearly."

Dai Jialang was stunned and then said angrily: "What? Do you suspect that the money was stolen by me?"

Wang Meijuan hesitated for a while and said, "I'm really worried that you have made so much money in less than a year when you go out."

Dai Jialang smiled and said, "Mom, don't be suspicious. My money must be earned by myself. Just use it with confidence. By the way, I will bring back another 500,000 this time. No matter what, I must build a new house next year."

When Wang Meijuan heard this, she was surprised and said, "How many? 500,000? Oh, Xiaojun, have you made a fortune outside?"

Dai Jialang smiled and said, "Mom, don't ask too much. I earned all this money by my ability. There is no need to be suspicious. If the money comes from wrong, I dare not take it out to build a house."

Wang Meijuan seemed to feel a little relieved and hesitated: "Actually, your brother has wanted to use the 200,000 yuan to build a house, but I didn't agree to him. If the money is given to him, what will you use to build a house in the future?"

Dai Jialang waved his hand and said, "Mom, I won't come back to live in the future. I won't hide it from you. I have bought a house with Xiaoyue in Nanzhao City and will live there from now on.

So you can build a house for my brother and live together when you get old. If you don’t have enough money, I will get it back. Anyway, I won’t have to worry about the money anymore.”

Wang Meijuan looked surprised and wiped her tears and said, "God blessed, Xiaojun finally has a future."

Dai Jialang hesitated for a while, pulled the chair to his mother, and whispered: "Mom, did you go to Erdaohe when you were young?"

Wang Meijun was stunned and then said in surprise: "How do you know?"

Dai Jialang asked, "Don't worry, how do I know, have you been there?"

Wang Meijuan said with a suspicion: "I've been there, you heard this, who did you say it?"

"Mom, why did you run to Erdaohe?" asked Dai Jialang.
