On the bus, a sturdy young man appeared, I saw that he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and a pair of snow-white pants were worn on his body, showing his poor family background.

Standing in the car, I looked at a barren field, only near the small river, where some rice was grown, and some women were tending in the fields covered with mud and water.

Looking along the road, a group of children were playing hide and seek, but looking at the muddy water on their bodies, it was not difficult to see that they had just come out of the fields.

The old people sat under the tree, and they were reluctant to drink even a cup of inferior tea, and they did not forget to tell the children twice to read and study more.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath of your hometown, there are thousands of water villages in which there are not many men in sight.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

From behind Wang Yang, a young man in his twenties walked out, saw his cousin standing at the door of the bus, and saw no movement for a long time, he couldn't bear to be curious and asked.

"Nothing, just haven't been back for a long time and want to see our hometown. ”

"Go down, the car is going to go. ”

Hearing the driver's call, although he couldn't bear it, Luo Jian had to interrupt his cousin's feelings of browsing his hometown, and said.

Wang Yang got out of the car, watched the bus leave, and couldn't retract his gaze for a long time.

"I remember that during the Chinese New Year, we could still see the lively market on the side of the road in the village, and at that time, we could still see many men. ”

"Yes, during the Chinese New Year, everyone came back, and at that time, the streets and roads were full of men's shouting.

However, now that January has just passed, everyone has gone to the big city to work, so naturally there is no one to be seen. ”

Luo Jian sighed.

"The old man does not kiss his own kinsman, nor his son his son. So that the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, the widows, the widows, the lonely and the sick are all supported"

Wang Yang remembered a famous saying by Confucius in the Book of Rites.

"Life is a lifetime, a hundred years in a hurry, the picture is nothing more than 'the old have something to rely on, the little to teach, the young to raise', but unfortunately, the society is developing, and young people in the countryside are flocking to the city, and they are getting farther and farther away from this goal.

Ten years ago, Shuicun was a large village with thousands of households, and today, ten years later, there are hardly many people in sight.

Similarly, ten years ago, the land in the field was full of rice fragrance, and ten years later, in the future, it has become a loess barren. ”
