Chapter 14 Making the Village Rich

Pingya Village is located on a piece of flat land surrounded by mountains, and most of the villagers' cultivated land is on the lower slopes at the end of the village.

Liu Huaying and Li Yan chatted as they walked up the slope, and then they realized that she was the heroine in the agitated divorce event in the county town last year.

"Your father is really ignorant. It is very difficult to go to Shanghai to go to university. What are you going to do in the future? Have you really gone out to work?"

Li Yan felt melancholy, "No, I plan to take the college entrance examination this year."

Looking at her young face, Liu Huaying did not speak but sighed slightly.

Li Yan knew what was going on in his mind. After her mother was injured, she never touched a book when she was taking care of her in the hospital. After returning home from the hospital, she was busy with the field work, and had to find wild vegetables to feed the pigs in the backyard.

"Uncle Liu, I know that the chances of being admitted to college are low, but if I don't go to college, I won't have any good jobs for me to choose from. I don't want to spend my youth in a factory."

The girl in front of her who was worried about the future moved Liu Huaying's heart.

Li Ling was in a hurry. She thought they were walking slowly, so she left first. Now that she had reached the top of the slope, seeing that they were still on the slope, she raised her hand and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Urged by her, the two of them quickened their pace.

On the side of the road, Liu Huaying saw a large piece of cultivated land with corn stalks from last autumn, and the withered leaves fluttering in the wind. He frowned and asked, "Why hasn't this land been planted this year?"

"The owner of this land is surnamed Jiang. Last winter, the whole family moved to a village closer to the county." Uncle Jiang gave up the land to his mother to plant. After her mother was injured, he could only let Dihuang be here. Li Yan simply explained with.

Liu Huaying walked into the cultivated field with a sullen face, knelt down and grabbed a handful of soil from the field, looked carefully in the palm of his hand, and said after a long time, "What a good black soil, it's just wasted like this."

Li Yan followed behind him all the time, seeing the regretful expression on his face, she was very puzzled and dared not ask.

Liu Huaying stood up and looked towards Pingya Village. It was now cooking time at noon, and there were not many households with smoke from the cooking.

"Li Yan, do you want to move too?"

Li Yan nodded, "Our family has no money, this is all fantasy."

Pingya Village is located in an area with high mountains, vertical and horizontal gullies, and interlaced distribution of mountains and valleys. Most of the cultivated land is slope farmland with many rocks.

Those who are still working in the land are almost all old men and women.

Young and middle-aged people in rural areas, almost no one is willing to farm, and they all go out to earn money. Those who earn money will buy a commercial house in the county town and take their family members out. Those who can’t make money would rather rent a house than return to their hometown. .

Now there are no school-age children in Pingya Village, and the small village with an aging population is dying.

"Li Yan, as far as I know, some of the remaining 27 households in Pingya Village are planning to move their household registrations to other villages in the next year or two. According to this rate, within ten years, Pingya Village will cease to exist. !" Liu Huaying took out a plastic bag and put the soil in her hand.

Li Yan had long thought about the future of Pingya Village, and forced a smile, "Our family should be the last one to move out of Pingya Village."

Li Ling yelled again from the top of the slope, "Sister, what are you dawdling about?"

Liu Huaying looked towards the top of the slope and shouted, "Li Ling, come down, let's go back to the village."

He went up the mountain just to grab a handful of dirt?Li Yan's mind was full of question marks.

"The villagers left the village because of the low output value in the village. Now I think of a way to make the village more likely to become rich." Liu Huaying looked at Li Yan and said.
