Picking Up Fragments

After a journey of three hours, Jiang Siming finally saw the small town of his hometown, which was the soil where he grew up.

This small town is called Nantian Town, and it is said that the location of Nantian Gate is right above the town.

The scenery of the small town is very good, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, with wisps of smoke rising, much better than the heavily commercialized areas of Dali and Lijiang.

Experience tales with empire

Perhaps it's because of the good mountains and waters that Jiang Siming grew up to be a handsome guy.

As the car drove into the town, although the town was remote and poor, the overall living standard was still there, with almost every household having a small Western-style building.

There are also cement roads leading to the end in the town, but there are few households with cars, most of them are tractors used for farming.

Only a few houses with tiled roofs occasionally have a car, but the most expensive ones are only Toyota and Huachen BMW.

When Jiang Siming's luxury car drove in, the people in the town all noticed. Every household stared at the car, and many people didn't even know what brand of car it was.

After the car turned a few corners in the town, it entered a small road. At the intersection, there was an old locust tree, under which a few old men were smoking dry tobacco and playing chess, occasionally shouting "checkmate"!

The car stopped by the side of the road, and several old men looked up in surprise when they saw a young man coming out of the car, looking familiar but not recognizing him.

"Grandpa, don't you recognize your grandson?" Jiang Siming shouted.

One of the old men in a vest slapped his thigh and laughed, "It's Ah Ming!"

This person is Jiang Siming's own grandfather, Jiang Guoqiao.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling?" Jiang Siming smiled and squatted down beside Jiang Guoqiao.

Jiang Guoqiao patted Jiang Siming's shoulder, looked left and right, and said, "Ah Ming, how did you grow so tall? You've changed so much that Grandpa didn't even recognize you."

"I've been eating well, and besides, boys in their twenties can still grow." Jiang Siming joked.

Jiang Guoqiao smiled kindly and nodded approvingly, "Growing taller is good, growing taller is good. My grandson is really handsome, it's easy to find a girl, haha."

"So it's Ah Ming, the boy is getting more and more handsome!"

"Haha, I didn't recognize you at first, but it turned out to be Ah Ming coming back."

The other old men also started talking, and Jiang Siming greeted each grandfather one by one.

"Oh, by the way, Ah Ming, weren't you working in Shanghai? Why did you come back?" Jiang Guoqiao asked.

"Oh, I've been idle lately, so I just wanted to come back and see, taste grandma and mom's cooking. It's been a long time since I've eaten their dishes." Jiang Siming smiled.

"Haha, okay, let your grandma cook something delicious tonight." Jiang Guoqiao said, then looked at the Land Rover Range Rover carefully and asked cautiously, "Whose car is this?"

"I bought it, for dad."

When Jiang Siming said this, several old men including Jiang Guoqiao were surprised.

Although Jiang Siming graduated from a prestigious university, everyone knew that he didn't do well after graduation. Many people in the town mocked Jiang's parents, and even ridiculed them in front of Jiang Guoqiao.

I didn't expect Jiang Siming to come back with a car now, and he even said it was for his father.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"This car... must have cost a lot of money, right?" Jiang Guoqiao stood up and walked to the side of the car. He dared to approach the car only after hearing that it was his grandson who bought it.

"This car must be worth tens of thousands, right?"

"Nonsense, this car must be at least two hundred thousand!"

"You two bumpkins, I've seen this car on TV. It's called a Land Rover, it costs over a million! It's even cooler than Mercedes-Benz and BMW!"

"Wow! So expensive!"

The other old men were shocked and exclaimed. A car worth over a million, they had never seen it in their lifetime.

So several old men walked over, curious like Liu Laolao visiting the Grand View Garden, and surrounded the car to take a closer look.

Some of the bolder ones wanted to reach out and touch it, but Jiang Guoqiao interrupted them proudly, fearing that someone might damage the car bought by his grandson.

Jiang Siming didn't mind. He opened the car door and took out two cigarettes from the trunk, Yellow Crane Tower 1911.

He opened them and handed out two packs to them.

"What kind of cigarettes are these?"

"The packaging looks expensive."

"Are they as expensive as Furong Wang?"

"They should be similar to Zhonghua."

The old men took the cigarettes and discussed them curiously like babies. One of them immediately opened a pack, lit one, and took a puff, immediately exclaiming.

"Good smoke! I've never tasted such pure smoke before!"

Jiang Guoqiao looked at them holding the cigarettes bought by his grandson, his white beard quivered, obviously feeling distressed.

"Ah Ming, why did you give out so many? One cigarette per person would have been enough." Jiang Guoqiao whispered to Jiang Siming.

Jiang Siming laughed and opened a small box in the trunk, where there were more than ten cigarettes, not only 1911, but also brands like He Tianxia, Qinghuaci, and Little Panda, everything one could think of.

"Grandpa, I know you like these, so I prepared them for you. But these things should be kept at grandma's place, otherwise, you'll finish them in a few days. Smoking too much isn't good." Jiang Siming grinned.

Jiang Guoqiao burst into laughter happily, saying, "Alright, alright, just put them at your grandma's place, but give grandpa a pack first."

"Old Jiang, you're really lucky. Your grandson is so filial. I'll have to ask you for cigarettes in the future." One old man joked.

"Go away, go away. These were bought by my grandson. Old Meng, if you want some, ask your granddaughter to buy them for you." Jiang Guoqiao resolutely refused.

Jiang Siming knew that his grandfather loved these, so he bought quite a lot.

"Grandpa, where are my parents and grandma?" Handing over the cigarettes, Jiang Siming asked.

Jiang Guoqiao lit a cigarette with delight and said, "Your mother and grandma are peeling corn at home, and your father should still be in the fields."

"What about my little sister?"

"She hasn't finished school yet, but she should be coming soon."

"Then should I go find my father?"

"I won't go for now. Leave two packs of cigarettes here. I still have unfinished games to play." Jiang Guoqiao took a puff, squinted his eyes, and looked extremely satisfied.

Jiang Siming laughed and knew that his grandfather wanted to stay here longer to listen to everyone's admiration and praise, so he handed over the remaining pack of Yellow Crane Tower to him.

Jiang Guoqiao cherished it like a treasure, putting it in his pocket as if he had found a treasure.

After bidding farewell to the other old men, Jiang Siming started the car again and drove towards home.

Leaving a group of old men praising and admiring Jiang Guoqiao, saying that the Jiang family had produced a successful person! Jiang Guoqiao was so pleased that he didn't even get angry after losing several games of chess.

Jiang Siming drove along the small road, with rice fields on both sides.

Driving to a fertile field, Jiang Siming saw a middle-aged figure squatting in the mud, bending over to plant seedlings.

Jiang Siming smirked mischievously, rolled down the car window, and honked twice.

Honk honk~

Hearing the noise, Jiang's father looked up, saw a big car, didn't think much, and lowered his head again.

Honk honk~

This time Jiang's father was curious, he looked carefully from the car window, showed a moment of surprise, then grinned.
