Chapter 1020 Searching for Zhangjiazhuang
After learning the exact address of Grandpa Zhang's house, Li Mo'er and Li Jun chatted with the old lady and Xiao Aiping at Zhao Yunting's house for a while before getting up to leave.
Grandma Zhao Yunting wanted Li Mo'er and her sister to stay a little longer, but Li Mo'er said, "Grandma, I'll come again when I have time. Today, I plan to go to Grandpa Zhang's house."
When Grandma Zhao Yunting heard that she was going to pick up Old Man Zhang today, she gave up the idea of inviting them to stay for lunch.
The three left the room, and Zhao Yunting drove out of the city. Once no one was around, the car disappeared, and a short while later, a fighter jet soared into the sky.
The fighter jets flew southwest, heading straight for Baitong County in Suizhou.
Neither of them had ever been to Suizhou, so they didn't know where it was. They could only look at the map and land after flying for a while to ask someone for directions.
Li Mo'er thought to herself, "If only we had navigation." But she figured it wouldn't be long before that was a reality.
Thanks to the technological support she brought and the technology she acquired from abroad, the country is now among the top tier in the aerospace field.
When Li Mo'er was chatting with Old Man Wei, Old Man Wei mentioned that scientists were researching the technology of having a return capsule to return rockets after they went into space. Once they had a return capsule, they could send some small animals into space first, and then send people into space once the technology was mature.
Li Mo'er had told Old Man Wei that once the technology was mature enough to land on the moon, she wanted to go there and see it. She had space and could bring back more lunar soil and rocks.
Old Man Wei said at the time that if the time came, he would fight for her.
Li Mo'er also asked Long Yun how high she could fly with her current abilities, and whether she could fly outside the atmosphere.
Long Yun's answer to her was that it wasn't possible for the time being, but perhaps she could fly outside the atmosphere after she advanced in the future.
Li Mo'er was quite satisfied with this answer. Long Yun was cultivating in the space, with a time accelerator, and most importantly, with the assistance of spiritual spring water. She believed that Long Yun's advancement would not be too long, because she saw that the black parts of Long Yun's scales had decreased, while the golden parts had expanded.
Looking at the map, Li Mo'er kept discussing with Li Jun what city this was and what county that was.
When they were almost there, they couldn't tell which way was which, so they decided to ask someone for directions. They flew for quite a while longer before finally spotting an old man driving a donkey cart.
The fighter jet landed directly fifty meters in front of the donkey cart, scaring the donkey so much that it urinated and defecated.
After Zhao Yunting got off the plane, he gave the old man a box of Zhonghua cigarettes that Li Mo'er had given him, and only then did he get the specific address.
Once on the fighter jet, Zhao Yunting said to Li Mo'er, "We've deviated from our course, about four hundred miles to the west. If we keep heading east, we'll reach Tongzhou."
Once outside Tongzhou, they began searching for Zhangjiazhuang again, and after asking two passersby, they finally found Zhangjiazhuang at the foot of the mountain.
The fighter jets did not go directly to Zhangjiazhuang, but instead switched to a helicopter that could seat four or five people.
The helicopter landed directly at a house with a rather large yard. After getting off the helicopter and asking around, Zhao Yunting finally learned the exact location of Grandpa Zhang's house.
The person being questioned looked at Zhao Yunting, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. Li Mo'er got off the helicopter, took out ten yuan and handed it to the person, saying, "Just say what you want to say, and this money is yours."
When the man saw a beautiful woman coming down, he even gave her ten yuan. Of course, he had to make money from that, so he told Zhao Yunting and Li Mo'er everything that had happened since Grandpa Zhang was sent back from the countryside.
It turns out that Old Zhang's wife passed away many years ago. He had two sons. The elder son was so quiet that he couldn't utter a sound, while the younger son was a scoundrel who idled away his days away, indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring!
After Old Zhang was sent back to the countryside, the government gave him a subsidy of five hundred yuan.
Zhangjia Village has barren land, and most villagers rely on Baitong Mountain for their livelihood.
When Old Zhang's two sons learned that he had received five hundred yuan, they kept pestering him for it. The elder son was not good with words and just stood there. The elder son's wife was a different story; she had a fierce look on her face and always took the lead in everything.
Old Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law and youngest son tried every trick in the book to get a share of the 500 yuan, but Old Zhang refused to budge. When they came to ask for the money, he said it was his savings for his funeral and he wouldn't give it to anyone.
