Chapter 510 Gratitude

Goodbye, construction team!

The green truck left the straight road, and the educated youth who were seeing it off could no longer be seen after turning the corner. The road ahead was filled with lush grasslands, golden rice fields, and the towering Ten Thousand Mountains.

Jiang Yu controlled his temper and tried to keep the car moving steadily on the road.

Yi Chi turned on the radio and changed the channel.

Xue Li had a look of curiosity on her face. She hadn't driven a car since she came here. She drove for a while last night to get a feel for it, and now was the time to get excited.

"But this road is really not very good." Xue Li commented.

It's too bumpy. When will highways be built all over the country? Gravel roads or dirt roads can really make people vomit.

Jiang Yu nodded. Even if she came from the end of the world, that road was built on the original foundation, so it was definitely better than the original one.

"I heard on the radio that roads are being built everywhere and S City is being replanned or something." Yi Chi continued.

"Planning? Urban planning?" Xue Li's eyes lit up. "Are we going to start so early?"

"Will this plan have an impact on us?" Yi Chi thought of the land in Jiang Yu's hands. Because Deng Jiaxing had family connections, he really did his best to help the two of them buy a lot of land. And because it was backed by the government, they didn't have to worry about anyone causing trouble. It was very safe.

"That's for sure." Xue Li nodded vigorously. "If we start planning now, our profits won't be very high... I hope we'll be lucky and the planned roads won't be built on our land."

Anyway, as long as the land is in City S, its value will only increase exponentially once it develops in the future.

But if it is taken back by the government now, then we are just making interest... it is not worth it.

Jiang Yu hummed, "We'll see after the city planning comes out. In addition, more and more people will be rehabilitated in the next two years, and many of them will definitely sell their old houses. If we buy a batch, we can keep a lot of them."

"Yes, I have already told Deng Jiaxing that once a villa is available, he should take it as long as there are no subsequent troubles." Xue Li knew that buying land was the easiest way to make money, so he paid special attention to it and told others about it before returning for the college entrance examination.

"Okay." Jiang Yu just nodded. "But I have troubled Deng Jiaxing a lot. When I settle down in S City, I have to invite him to dinner to thank him. You are familiar with him, can you help me say a few words when the time comes?"

"How can this be called helping? Given our relationship, it's reasonable for me to treat you to a meal." Xue Li clicked his tongue. He didn't like the way Jiang Yu always divided things clearly. They were obviously close, like family members, so why was he always making distinctions between you and me?

Yi Chi coughed and said, "Then let us treat them."

"Hey! Yi Chi, you have also learned bad things from Jiang Yu, right?" Xue Li glared and looked at Yi Chi with a feeling of being disappointed in him.

"Learn bad things? You said he learned bad things from me? I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words!" Jiang Yu stared at the route without blinking, but the threat was very obvious.

Xue Li immediately chuckled twice, "You heard wrong, I didn't say you were bad, I said Yi Chi was bad."

Yi Chi pointed at himself, looked at Xue Li, and then at Jiang Yu, feeling that he was very innocent.

Time passed quickly with everyone joking and chatting. Jiang Yu was worried that her driving skills were not good enough and she might get into an accident if she drove recklessly, but the roads they chose were less populated, so she drove south for more than three hours. Except for Wu Xiaoxiao, who was drowsy from the shaking, everyone else thought she drove steadily.

Next it was Xue Li's turn. She was going to drive to the nearby city where they would stay overnight.

After that, they went all the way to S City. The three of them took turns driving, stopped to stay overnight, and finally entered S City in the afternoon of the 28th.

"Let me take over. I'm more familiar with this road and there's no need to look at the map." Xue Li saw Jiang Yu wanted to change seats with Yi Chi and quickly spoke out to stop them.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Yu asked Xue Li if she could handle it, seeing that she had just rested for more than two hours.

Xue Li nodded and said it was okay. "I can drive faster. We have to send Xiao Xiao home first, and then go directly to the villa you bought. I am familiar with this road."

"Okay then." Seeing that she was not reluctant, Jiang Yu agreed.

Wu Xiaoxiao's home is in the city center. When Xue Li drove the car to the vicinity of that area, Wu Xiaoxiao had already stuck her head out of the back of the truck and was looking around.

"Ah! I'm finally home~" The little girl was so excited that she held the car with one hand and waved with the other.

Passersby on the roadside stopped to look at her.

A man who was walking hurriedly with a small leather bag heard the familiar voice and looked over subconsciously. He was almost frightened to death by Wu Xiaoxiao's actions and shouted, "Wu Xiaoxiao!!"

Wu Xiaoxiao's cheers stopped abruptly. She carefully withdrew her hand and looked around to see if it was her eldest brother calling her.

Xue Li, who was driving, also heard the shouting. After thinking for a moment, he pulled over.

"Maybe Wu Xiaoxiao's relatives saw her." Jiang Yu had sensed Wu Xiaoxiao's movements a long time ago. Wu Aiqing in the car was so scared that she held the back of her clothes tightly, worried that the car would shake and throw this naughty child out.

After a while, a man in jeans and a sailor shirt ran towards the truck.

Wu Xiaoxiao screamed, and immediately got back into the car.

The three people in the cab jumped out of the car and looked at the person who came.

Wu Aiqing also got down from the back of the truck.

The man smiled gratefully at them and said, "Everyone, you are all good friends that Xiaoxiao met in the north. Hello, I am her eldest brother, Wu Hao."

"Hello, I'm Yi Chi." Seeing that Wu Aiqing was a little hesitant, Yi Chi stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to him.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. I just happened to go out to order food at the restaurant. I wanted to give you all a warm welcome. How about this, I'll ask my brother to come and show you the way, and you can come to my house and rest first?" Wu Hao really had good intentions towards the educated youths. After all, they were the saviors of his unfortunate sister. No matter what, he had to treat them well.

Xue Li waved his hand quickly, "No, no, if your house is not far away, you can drive us over and take the things down. We still have to go home to put the things away."

Wu Hao was stunned for a moment. "Oh, that's fine. Our home is not far away. We can get there just around the corner. But this dinner..."

"Brother Wu, you know we will probably be busy with reporting these days. Why don't we wait for a while before eating?" Yi Chi did not refuse the other party's kindness, but he really didn't have time now.
