Chapter 35 Returning Home In Glory
After some arrangements, Meng Yuanyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning of the next day, Meng Yuanyuan got up early, washed and dressed up, and went to the helipad to wait for Yan Bin.
Today she plans to fly a helicopter to pick up Yan Bin's mother. Due to the approaching heavy acid rain, she must pick her up as soon as possible to avoid any accidents on the road.
After a short wait, Yan Bin came out of the apartment, holding a travel bag in his hand and a look of excitement on his face.
Meng Yuanyuan smiled at him and pointed to the seat next to her, "Come up!"
"Yeah, okay."
Yan Bin nodded happily and quickly jumped into the passenger seat.
Meng Yuanyuan fastened her seat belt, started the helicopter, and slowly took off towards the mountains.
It wasn't until the plane flew high into the sky that Yan Bin finally dared to raise his head. He took a deep breath and felt that his whole body was instantly lighter.
This was the first time for Yan Bin to ride in a helicopter. Although he was already a man, he still seemed very novel. He looked around like a child and even took pictures with his mobile phone.
Meng Yuanyuan looked at his childlike appearance, with a faint curve at the corner of her mouth.
But she soon became focused, because it was raining lightly and there was a light layer of fog floating in the sky. The visibility was not high, and the helicopter began to shake.
Fortunately, Meng Yuanyuan was skilled in driving and quickly stabilized the balance of the helicopter and continued heading west.
Unknowingly, the plane flew over a dense jungle.
This jungle is located in Sichuan Province in western China. It is a plateau forest landform. There is also a famous tourist attraction called Jiuchuangou Scenic Area.
Jiuchuangou is a river that spans forests and snow-capped mountains. It has been called the first river in China since ancient times. There are also many wild and rare plants growing in it. It is a fairy-tale paradise.
Meng Yuanyuan looked at the vaguely beautiful scenery beneath her and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
She had also imagined that one day, she and her beloved would get together in this romantic environment and enjoy this fairy-tale beauty together.
It's a pity that things went against her wishes. I'm afraid that the beautiful scenery of Jiuchuan Valley will be destroyed in a short time. This may also become the last regret in her heart!
Yan Bin didn't notice the change in Meng Yuanyuan's expression. He was still immersed in the beautiful scenery. He even took out his mobile phone and posed a few poses to the camera.
After flying for who knows how long, a village finally appeared in front of the two of them. It was a small village built on the mountainside.
Meng Yuanyuan operated the joystick, and the helicopter came to the sky above the village, and then landed slowly.
There are about 30 families here. Most of the houses are two-story wooden structures, which look very historical. The walls of the houses are covered with vines, and they are green and give people a very peaceful atmosphere.
As soon as the helicopter stopped, twenty or thirty people ran over, with more than a dozen children rushing at the front.
One of the little girls was wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket skirt with two braids. She was lively and cute and was waving her arms.
After she came to the helicopter, she took a closer look at the people sitting on it, and then shouted: "My uncle Xiaobin is back, uncle Xiaobin is back."
Everyone ran over when they heard the sound. There were old and young among the onlookers.
Meng Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile when she saw this.
Yan Bin quickly jumped off the plane and held the little girl in his arms, "Er Niuzi, do you miss your uncle, eh?"
The little girl nodded happily: "Well! What has Uncle Xiaobin been doing recently? Why doesn't he always come back to see me?"
Yan Bin touched his nose in embarrassment: "Uncle has been busy at work recently. He just came back to see you when he had some free time. He also brought you a lot of delicious food!"
When the little girl heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? That's great, I know my uncle loves me the most!"
As Er Niuzi spoke, she hugged Yan Bin's neck and kissed him hard on the cheek.
Yan Bin smiled and rubbed Er Niuzi's head: "Of course, when did uncle lie to you?"
After speaking, he looked at the crowd around him, then put the little girl down and greeted the elders in the village one by one.
Meng Yuanyuan also came to the crowd at this time, got to know each other with them, and then followed Yan Bin into the room.
The people watching outside were still talking about where the helicopter stopped.
"Otherwise, you still have to study! Look at Lao Yan's son, he just graduated, and the plane has already started flying!"
"Yes, this kid has been promising since he was young. He is smart and sweet-tongued. He will definitely be better than his father in the future!"
"Does that need to be said? His father is just a farmer, so why can't he be better than him!"
"Hey? Who do you think that handsome girl was just now? Why did she come back with Lao Yan's boy? She must be looking for a wife, right?"
"I think they look like a talented man and a beautiful woman. They make a good match!"
"What a perfect match. Didn't you see that that girl was flying the plane? Let me tell you, this young man from the Yan family wants to be his son-in-law!"
"Bah, you have a son-in-law here, you're so ashamed!" Looking at the crowd, there was a middle-aged woman. After listening to everyone's discussion, she curled her lips in disdain, with jealous eyes flashing in her eyes.
This woman and Yan Bin's family are neighbors, separated by only a wall. It stands to reason that the two families should be so close to each other, so they should have a good relationship. However, the two families have never been in contact with each other in the past ten years.
The reason is that Yan Bin's family is too poor, especially a single-parent family without a father.
In fact, Yan Bin grew up with his neighbor's daughter since he was a child. The two were childhood sweethearts and were in love with each other. They had already secretly made a lifelong decision in their hearts.
However, the difference in family conditions between the two is too big, and their parents strongly opposed it, so the relationship has been delayed until now.
Not only that, the neighbor couple also came to the house and insulted Yan Bin's mother and son, saying that they were toads who wanted to eat swan meat, trying to climb a dragon and a phoenix, and compared them to country bumpkins.
So since this incident, the relationship between Yan Bin and his neighbor's daughter has become more and more estranged. This is also the main reason why he has been studying hard away from home these years and is unwilling to go home.
In particular, Yan Bin has a very strong self-esteem. He cannot tolerate others insulting his mother, nor can he bear that he is a poor boy from the countryside, and he cannot bear the ridicule and discrimination of others.
That's why he worked tirelessly and studied hard to get into college, in order to prove to his parents that he, Yan Bin, was no worse than anyone else, and that he could use his own efforts to help his family live a good and prosperous life.
"I said, Aunt Liu, Xiao Bin is much better than that daughter of yours. Besides, I have my daughter-in-law back, so let the past go by!"
"Yes, the relationship between Xiaobin and Yaoyao was so good back then, but it was all caused by you adults!"
"That's right, Xiao Bin is a well-educated kid who is polite to everyone he meets. What a good kid! Hey! Just do it!"
...
Everyone was talking a lot, and Aunt Liu was furious.
She was already chubby, and the fat on her face was squeezed into a ball, which made people laugh.
Her face turned blue and white, and she really didn't know what to say in reply. After glaring at the people around her, she snorted angrily, turned around and walked back into the house.
Everyone shook their heads when they saw this, changed the topic, and continued talking about other things.
