More than ten years ago, Daguzhuang was vast and sparsely populated, and when you stand on the country road at the entrance of the village, you can see a small piece of unpretentious mud houses.

The elderly or younger peasant women leave early and return late every day to take care of the crops in their acres of land to make ends meet, while the children are carefree, even if they have to help the family cut pigweed and go up the mountain to collect firewood.

The quicker children will take the opportunity to get some mountain goods to sell in the town, and earn some pocket money to buy candy to eat, or to buy flowers to wear. The village is usually very quiet, except for the roosters and dogs barking, and occasionally hearing the cries of children who are disobedient and beaten.

When it was really lively, only around the Spring Festival, the young people of every household came back. There was a burst of joyful laughter, the sound of firecrackers, and children frolicking around in new clothes bought by strange parents.

After the Spring Festival, the entrance of the village was filled with the screams of children, and they were desperately pulling the corners of their parents' clothes that they had finally familiarized.

However, this scene is over.

More than ten years later, in July, the fields are golden, and when the wind rises, the air in the village is filled with a strong fragrance of wheat waves and rice.

The wheat field is the origin of the village's wealth, and the simple adobe houses of the past have completely disappeared from the village.

Young people came back one after another to help the family grow wheat, and as long as the quality was good, they planted as much as they could and sold as much as they could. Regardless of the cloudy or rainy weather, as long as it can be planted, the purchase price will only increase year by year.

Every family built a few storey buildings, raised some poultry in a small yard, and planted some fruit trees to add some childlike fun to the children.

After the rice is simply processed after hulling, it becomes brown rice, and the fine grinding becomes white rice, and the rice is boiled into a fragrant flavor. Everyone occasionally buys fragrant rice outside to taste fresh, and in the end, they still feel that the rice they grow at home is the most fragrant.

I am used to eating the food in the village, and the grain and rice grains from the outside world are not very attractive to everyone. All the arable land was planted with wheat straw, and there was no vacant land, so everyone had to reclaim the barren fields and barren mountains in the north and south directions to grow rice, vegetables, fruits, melons and vegetables.

They are all ownerless mountains and hills, which belong to the village collectives and are assigned to households for farming. Once it is empty, it will be taken back immediately and planted for other farmers.

Otani is the largest plantation village in the area, and other nearby villages have been expropriated. Some families were only half expropriated, and the remaining half was converted into farmhouses, which was also a way to get rich.

As long as it can increase people's economic income, government departments will generally support it on the basis of reasonable laws and regulations.

No, in recent years, the phenomenon of left-behind has almost completely disappeared in the local area and no longer exists. Not only that, but the younger generation of middle and high school students or college graduates have returned to the village to see what they can do to make money.

You don't have to leave the well, you don't have to look at people's faces, and breathing the fresh air unique to the mountains and countryside is much better than working outside.

"And college students?"

On the ridge of the field, a young woman in casual clothes laughed, picked up the hem of her long skirt and jumped lightly, jumping over the canal at the edge of the field.

"Yes, Yaogu's daughter Qingqing is a college student, an undergraduate student who graduated from the imperial capital, she looks very beautiful and temperamental, and she still comes back to live for a long time. The girl walking in front smiled, "Be careful, it just rained last night, the road is slippery, don't fall." ”

This girl is a villager from Daguzhuang, her name is Gu Ni, she took it herself, and her original name was Gu Dani. Because she is the eldest in the family, and there are two younger brothers at the bottom.

At the age of 19, he graduated from high school and went out to work, and in Shenzhen, he was introduced by an acquaintance to work as a front desk in an import and export agency company. Now 24 years old, his income is acceptable, even higher than the income of some college students.

Many college students have low eyes and skills, and often change jobs, looking down on her academic qualifications, but their income is not as high as hers.

Over time, she looked down on those unemployed college students. It wasn't until she returned to the village that she accidentally saw the daughter of the Yao Gu family, Ema, amazing!

"Auntie, who is it? Have I seen it?"

"You've only been here for a few days, you haven't seen them, they live in the mountains and rarely come out. ”

That mountain is called Dead Wood Ridge, and now it is called Yaogu Mountain.

In addition to making money, the rest of the time they either hang around and play some basic entertainment, such as playing cards and mahjong, and the most important thing is to make people.

Over the years, the number of newborns in the village has doubled, but whenever there is some heat and headache, he immediately goes up the mountain to ask for help from Yaogu.

Yaogu, who was originally the daughter of Daguzhuang, was called Gu Ning. She married far away, but returned to the village to inherit her own mountain, which is the dead wood ridge.

Originally, everyone was very repulsed by what she did, but later I saw that she knew a little about medicine and the wonderful use of herbal medicine, and her husband usually kept quiet, but he had a lot of ideas, and he let everyone grow wheat grass to make money to get rid of poverty.

How can such a person be rejected? No other village can invite them.

In the past, most of the families with children who cried at night for a long time went to the next village to find a goddess to govern. Now I don't need to, I just went up the mountain to ask Yao Gu for help, and I got it with one dose of medicine.

Many children in the village have eaten the herbal soup she gave, and now they are strong and healthy, and the parents are very grateful to her, and teach the children to call their aunt when they see her.

But the children hate to take medicine, and know that it is the bitter medicine she has made for herself, and every time they see her, they have to hide, and their mouths read:

"The medicine is bitter, don't eat ......"

Over time, the parents simply followed the children and called her Yaogu. Some old people feel that the dead wood ridge has been called for decades, and the dead wood has already been called in the spring, and it is very inappropriate to call the dead wood ridge again, and it is more appropriate to call it Yaogu Mountain instead.

No, the name Yaogushan is called among the younger generation.

Now she has gone back to her hometown with the man, leaving her daughter to live in the mountains. Gu Ni said, "Her daughter doesn't know how to use herbs, so she told the village chief to stop going up the mountain to dig herbs or ask her for medicine, for fear of eating bad people." ”

However, the former Yaogu taught the villagers to grow some common herbs in their yards. For example, mild fever, cold, sore throat, bruises and other minor illnesses can be taken.

It's useless to look for her even if you're seriously ill, let alone find her daughter.

Although her daughter doesn't know medicine, everyone still calls her aunt medicine. It can be regarded as a continuation of the respect for the former medicine aunt, hoping that her daughter can inherit her skills one day.

Of course, it's just hope, like a sense of security. It seems that as long as Yaogu is here, everyone doesn't have to go to the hospital. There are facts to prove that people in the village rarely get sick, but those who move to live in the towns often get seriously ill.

Nowadays, people from outside want to move back to the village, especially the elderly.

"I see, it looks like I'm late. Missing the former medicine girl, the young woman's smile was slightly astringent.

"Don't think so," Gu Ni glanced at her, "Your illness has been cured, and you are currently focusing on health." In the countryside, you stop thinking nonsense, the most important thing is to take care of your body. ”

"Yes, I'll just talk about it. "Grumble.

Her surname is Yang, and her name is Yang Yuyan, a poetic name. has a good name, but her life is not very good, she lost her mother at an early age, and was trained by her father as the successor of the company, which is the small company where Gu Ni works.

Who knew that on her 28th birthday, her father actually brought back a 25-year-old son, claiming that he would be the heir to the company.

25 years old, which means that her father had cheated on her mother before her death and gave birth to an illegitimate child. said before that she should be the heir, but in fact, she saw that she was quite talented in business, and hoped that she would save the company from fire and water.

She is responsible for the company's return to normalcy. It's a pity -

"After all, you are a daughter's family, and you will marry someone in the future. Although your brother is not as smart as you, he has the elite of the company to help him, and I believe that his achievements are no worse than yours. The father said bitterly, "Daughter, you are a good daughter, you have to forgive your father." ”

She was struck by lightning and fainted in the hospital on the way out of the company. As a result, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent excision surgery to save a small life.

When her father learned of her condition, he was very sad and forcibly ordered her to recuperate for a while.

Then, his old man transferred a villa to her, and gave her another three million, and had no other assets. It is equivalent to being swept out of the house by her father, and she has worked hard for the company for so long, and she can't get a penny.

As an old employee of the unit, Gu Ni usually has contact with this wife, and when she saw her end up like this, she resigned in anger for a while. When I visited her home, I rescued her from being disheartened and ready to commit suicide.

Why forget your sorrows? Leave the land of suffering and start again in a strange place.

From today, she will be recuperating in this quiet and peaceful Otani Sho.
