This brat can carry bacon and walk away.

"No, Grandpa Yang, sit down first. It doesn't matter what we did wrong. At least we didn't break the law. It doesn't prevent this wine from being a good thing, right?"

Feng Lidong stood up and pushed him back onto the stool.

The four of them just drank quietly for the next time.

Talking about some past things.

No one mentioned the rental house again.

"It's not that I'm unreasonable. Look at the people everywhere you go in the village. They're all here for tourism."

Grandpa Yang looked at Feng Lidong and took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Grandpa Yang, isn't it bad to have too many people? Look at how many tie-dyes, textiles, scarves, etc. each household has sold in the past two days. This is an extra income for a family. Relieves stress.”

Huang Xinxin said.

"Hmph! Then look at these people in the village. They are all impetuous and only want to make money."

"Income? Where did it go? It went into money."

"Everyone is selling things, but who is going to grow things? Look at those fields. No one has watered them in the past two days."

Grandpa Yang stamped his feet, patted his thighs, said dissatisfiedly with a tigerish face.

Chapter 255 Poverty is a disease

Grandpa Yang's words made Xie Zhiyao, who wanted to speak, shut his mouth.

Because this is almost one of the disadvantages of tourist villages.

There are easier ways to make money.

Who would want to face the loess and turn their back to the sky~.

"The land must still be planted."

Huang Xinxin replied subconsciously.

"Our Yunmiao Village has always relied on mountains and rivers, and these two things are what we eat. This is the foundation."

“But now the water is unreliable, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to catch fish.”

"Only mountains and land are left. If these two are thrown away, what will be left?"

"Tourists will leave, right? Will they come back again after they leave?"

"No matter how good Yunmiao Village is, they won't always be here, and people won't always come."

"Ah Yao, I know what you are thinking, but you should not destroy the ecology of Yunmiao Village. This is the basis of survival for generations."

"You haven't experienced the famine years. I have. Now we have plenty of food and clothing, but we should be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Grandpa Yang confessed his feelings frankly for the first time.

Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin also fell silent.

Originally, they just thought that the old man was stubborn and unwilling to accept social changes.

We have always lived in the agricultural society of the past.

But forget that this generation has been hungry.

That memory still frightens them to this day.

"Grandpa Yang, you know why eldest brother came back, right? You also know why Uncle Siping stopped him from coming back, right?"

Feng Lidong put down his wine glass and said softly.

Grandpa Yang nodded without knowing why and looked at him warily.

It seems to be saying: Boy, let me see how you fooled me.

"I heard many things from grandma."

"We originally had an uncle, but at that time our family couldn't afford the money for medical treatment, and your family was also in difficulty, but you came forward to borrow money from the village and asked Grandma to use it to treat the uncle."

"Although uncle could not save her, your kindness will be remembered by grandma, uncle and eldest brother."

"Even when Uncle Siping later couldn't afford to go to school because his family had no money, you paid for it and asked Uncle Deqing to take him to school."

"Later, when my mother brought me back home, someone in the village cursed us and even wanted to drive us away."

"It's better for you and my grandpa to take the hoes and a few uncles and smash the stoves of those families."

"Ah, Brother Yao has grown up and is going to school, but he still has no money. You will lend me money until uncle makes money himself."

"I've grown up and it's time to study. You didn't say it, but I know that since my mother died of illness."

"You pay at least half of the cost of my studies every year. You dig it out of the yellow soil bit by bit."

"Even when Sister Xiaochun had no money to go to college, you came to visit us with money until your eldest brother got the news and came back."

"Grandpa Yang, we respect you and admire you from the bottom of our hearts."

"So even if you don't want to see your elder brother, he will still pay you respect during the holidays."

Feng Lidong said affectionately.

One is named Yang, the other is named Xie, and the third one is named Feng.

The ancestors are not from the same family.

Grandpa Yang could have ignored it.

But the old man in front of me has no complaints from the oldest to the youngest.

"All this is over, why are you talking about this? Education must not be poor. Seeing that you two are both top students, I don't know how happy I am. It's just that Yao's father and Deqing have no future, and they stopped studying in junior high school. "

Grandpa Yang said with tears in his eyes and a happy smile.

And Huang Xinxin heard about these things for the first time.

When she first arrived here, she and Xie Zhiyao were building Yunmiao Village.

This old man is the most resistant.

However, no one in the village committee or even the village from top to bottom dared to do anything to him.

She thought she was relying on her old age just because of her seniority.

Looking at the ordinary old man in front of him.

The resentment in her heart dissipated.

Because she knows she is not qualified and feels resentful.

"but!"

"Grandpa Yang."

"The word "poor" forced the uncle's generation to leave their hometown, leaving the elderly and children at home."

"The word "poor" forced the face-hungry uncle Siping to go back to the village and wallow in mischief, just to prevent his eldest brother from coming back."

"The word "poor" has followed us for generations and made us suffer for generations."

"A few days ago, Yang Xu almost left his wife and children to go out to work. The same goes for Yang Guanjun, and his second brother...Uncle Xie Jun."

“This is our generation, what about the next generation?”

"Grandpa Yang, the land in Yunmiao Village needs to be cultivated, and people cannot continue to be poor."

“Yunmiao Village cannot just be left-behind children and empty-nesters.”

"The reason why my uncle and the others left their hometown back then was the reason why we came back, and it was also the reason why Huang Xinxin came to be a village official after graduating from university."

"Poverty is a disease, and we are here to treat it."

?

"After this disease is cured, every young man in Yunmiao Village will no longer have to go out to work hard, and our children will be able to enjoy themselves at the knees of their parents."

Feng Lidong said decisively.

"Hey, Adong, what do you think our Yunmiao Village will look like in the future?"

Grandpa Yang sighed deeply and asked worriedly.

His vicissitudes of life were full of confusion about the unknown.

It is also full of sorrow for the past.

"I don't know, I don't know either, but we dare to think and do it."

"It's just like when you were young, someone told you about mobile phones, someone told you about airplanes, and in recent years, someone told you that you can buy and sell things online, and someone told you that you can buy something all over the world, and you can buy it the next day. Can you believe it?"

"But just because some people dare to think it and some people dare to do it, these are facts."

 …  

"So you see, Sister Huailan's embroidery can be sold all over the world, and the embroidery shop does not need to close down. Uncle Heshun's wood carving shop has reopened, and the wood carvings can be sold."

"Because the village has developed so well, Aunt Hua's daughter, Sister Hong, has also come back to open a clothing factory."

"Last time Uncle Siping came back, he told his eldest brother for the first time, do your best."

"Think about the fact that he drank drugs, blocked roads, and smashed people's doors, causing a scene in which the police came to the village."

"Grandpa Yang, everything is changing. Everything in the world is changing. We don't even know what tomorrow will be like."

"So we ourselves cannot change."

Feng Lidong said earnestly.

Grandpa Yang was silent thoughtfully, his eyes looking towards the sky.

"Grandpa Yang, come and have a drink."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Xie Zhiyao picked up his wine glass and said.

"So I did something wrong?"

Grandpa Yang drank a glass of wine, put down the glass, and asked softly.
