Chapter 216

After Yu Ze returned from Jakarta, he reported his work to the senior management and left the capital without disturbing anyone.

He returned to his hometown again. This was the first time he had been back since he left here for many years.

Due to the "Dayu Flood Control Project", various plans were launched one after another, and there was an urgent need for a large number of young labor forces. Therefore, the county seemed to be a lot empty all of a sudden. There were not many young people present, and most of them were elderly people.

In the countryside, the situation is even more serious. Urbanization has caused young people to leave, and they may not come back at this time. The scattered villages are deserted, and when it’s meal time, there are also I didn’t see many people lighting a fire to cook.

This time, no one followed Yu Ze's request. He walked on the country path and recalled his childhood life. Although there were many difficulties, the carefree days were indeed missed.

"I remember when I was a kid, there was an artificial well here, and clear spring water would emerge from the well. Every summer, there would be many children playing in the small pond formed by the spring water."

Standing on the edge of the field, Yu Ze discovered that the spring well where he grew up had dried up and was filled with domestic garbage.

Not far from here, there is a river. The river is clear and cold. When it dries up in winter, he and many friends will turn over the stones to look for crabs under the stones. Whenever he finds a crab, he will Will cheer and shout, extremely happy.

After collecting the crabs, they will happily carry the bucket full of crabs, find an open space, and then find a pot and bricks to boil water to make a temporary stove, collect some firewood on the spot and light it. Boil crabs in water.

The crabs cooked in this way, which had not been soaked in clean water overnight, were actually very dirty and had a strong fishy smell. However, they did not care about this at the time and still ate them very happily.

In addition to boiling crabs in water, they will also take advantage of the residual heat of firewood to roast sweet potatoes, peanuts, and potatoes. When the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes come out of the oven, they share a little bit each. It is particularly comfortable and enjoyable to eat in the winter.

Another friend went to find chili powder and a little salt, lightly sprinkled some on the roasted potatoes, and took a bite. It was simply delicious, and I wouldn’t change it for even a roast duck!

It's a pity that those friends in childhood memories have long since lost contact, and I don't know where they are now. Have they started a family or started a business?Or is it just success?

Yu Ze thought about it, with a smile on his lips. He suddenly had an interesting idea. It would be particularly interesting if he could go back to his childhood through the memory library and deliberately tease them at that time.

He continued walking forward and saw his aunt's house in the distance.

Because of his fame, her aunt's daily life was seriously disturbed. Although she took the opportunity to live broadcast and made a lot of money, this rural woman soon discovered that there were gains and losses. What she lost was privacy. She I found that someone was secretly filming me when I went to the toilet, and my home was also broken into.Although after calling the police, the local police immediately set up an investigation team to arrest the person who took the secret photos and the person who broke into the house and tried them severely, but this still left this rural woman with lingering fears. She called Yu Ze specifically because she did not want to make money from the live broadcast. , after all, with Yu Ze's reputation, if she didn't make this money, she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Yu Ze said hello to the relevant departments, and no one dared to come here to disturb his aunt anymore.

Once the country takes serious action, unless those Internet celebrities who are usually arrogant and domineering want to enter a detention center and stay for ten and a half months, and all their accounts will be blocked, how else will they dare to come here because they have eaten the heart of a bear?
Yu Youmei was cooking and watching videos on her mobile phone, worried: "Oh, the end of the world is coming so soon. How will we live in the future?"

While sighing, she stir-fried vegetables neatly, not giving up on her normal life just because the world was about to end.

However, after hearing Yu Ze call her aunt at the kitchen door, Yu Youmei was so shocked that the spatula in her hand almost flew out. When she looked back, she was surprised and said: "Why are you back?"

"Hey, aunt, I'll come back to see you."

"Why didn't you call in advance?" Yu Youmei quickly put down the spatula and walked towards Yu Ze.

"If I call you, there won't be any surprises."

"Have you had lunch?"

"I haven't eaten yet. I just came back to catch you for dinner."

Yu Youmei was mumbling and hurriedly went to chop vegetables. Yu Ze stopped her and said, "Tell me what you want to chop."

"Then help me cut some potato shreds..."

Yu Ze nodded, and with a move of his hand, two potatoes flew out of the vegetable basket. After rinsing them under the faucet, the potato skins peeled off by themselves, and then they split into straight and smooth potato shreds and fell into the plate.

Yu Youmei was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Yu Ze's special powers at such a close distance.

"Your special function is so convenient."

Yu Youmei was filled with envy: "If I had special powers like yours, then I would be a chef. No, I would be a waiter who washes dishes. How about working as a waiter for ten? Earn the salary of ten waiters a month!"

Yu Ze: "..."

Yu Ze didn't go out, so he helped in the kitchen. The two of them worked together to cook several big dishes. After putting them on the table, Yu Ze suddenly pointed at the table and said, "Aunt, this table hasn't been changed after all these years?" "

This dining table is really many years old. It is said that it was made by Grandpa Yu Ze when he was young. It was just after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is made of solid wood and of excellent quality. It has been used for almost 70 years and it is still in good condition. There are just many scratches on the surface. It was carved with a knife by Yu Ze who was ignorant when he was young.

"How dare you throw it away? This is your grandfather's heirloom."

Yu Youmei sighed: "Speaking of which, your dad has been missing for so many years and I don't know how he is doing. Your parents must have seen the news about you, right? You didn't even contact him. How cruel."

"Don't mention them."

Yu Ze hesitated, "Aunt, if I have a chance to save the world, should I try it?"

Yu Youmei was surprised when he heard this: "Do you still need to say that? Of course I have to go quickly. This world is so beautiful, how can I bear to destroy it. When I think about not being able to return to my hometown again, my heart goes cold."

However, just after Yu Youmei finished speaking, her expression changed again, "Wait a minute, you said this opportunity to save the world won't do you any harm, right?"

Before Yu Ze could speak, Yu Youmei hurriedly shook her head: "If it hurts you, then give up. Anyway, anyway, even if the world ends, doesn't the news say that we can all survive? It's just that we will have to suffer underground in the future. , but we are all used to suffering. If we endure hardship again, can we suffer as much as we did when we didn’t have enough to eat?”
