Stop and stop along the way, or go up the river, or down the road, cross the Wuling Mountains on the southern boundary line, and finally enter the southern Xinjiang where the hometown is located.

Yang Yi's family was not from Southern Xinjiang Province, but pure northerners, and even from Beijing. Decades ago, his grandfather came here as an intellectual, and his grandmother and father followed. In the impression of this northerner, thousands of miles away and full of miasma-filled places, who knows that after arriving, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the people are also kind, this stay is decades, and now they have become a serious southern Xinjiang people.

Grandpa did not choose to go back after opening up in the 80s, but entered the local government, and now he is in his 70s and has long since retired. Because of the social environment, my father entered the township as a civil servant when he reached high school, and then went all the way to the position of deputy township head, which is also a cadre.

The village they live in is called Gushan Village, Yang Yi was born here, when he was a child, he had a nickname called Huzi, how the name came from is impossible to investigate, according to his guess that such a non-level name should be his father's masterpiece.

The village is not directly on the southern sea, but in the innermost part of a bay that connects to the sea, and the bay is called Pearl Bay. If you want to enter the South China Sea, it will take half an hour to sail. Moreover, the Pearl Bay channel is narrow, and there is only a waterway of a few tens of meters at the narrowest point, but it is rare that it belongs to a deep-water bay, and the deepest water is more than 40 meters, and the average depth of the general place is more than 20 meters, which is deeper than the average depth of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in the north.

There are several rivers in the village, all of them are mountain springs that go down along the Pearl Mountain, and converge into a lake between the west of the village and the Pearl Mountain, named Pearl Lake, the lake surface is almost hundreds of acres, between the Pearl Bay and the stretching Pearl Mountain, it is like a pearl embedded in it.

The village is more than 100 miles away from the township, and is at the junction of the two provinces in the south and southeast, the land traffic needs to pass through the towering mountains, the rugged and difficult to travel Zhu Mountain, and the sea traffic needs to cross the narrow Pearl Bay, it can be said that the traffic is extremely inconvenient, so the village has not developed to this day, and still maintains the original fishing village style.

Several generations of county leaders have wanted to discover the mountain villages, including when my grandfather was the county leader, there were at least a dozen or so positions, and in the end they were all blocked by traffic. So far, the village has only realized the water, electricity and network, and other tourism and industries are not to be thought about, and the name of the national-level poverty-stricken county is well-known in the entire prefecture and city.

With the scarcity of offshore fishery resources, and the fact that the fishing boats in their village basically cannot leave Pearl Bay, the young people in the village have chosen to go to the neighboring southeast province to work, and now they are still in the village, except for the elderly, that is, those children, whose grandparents also live in the village after retirement, and Yang Yi plans to return to the village on this trip.

I have a deep affection for the village, after all, I was born here, I grew up here, a mountain and a river, a grass and a tree, and I often dream back at midnight when they are still them, and even the sea breeze is kind. Now that he has Dragon Balls and Spiritual Water, he feels that it may not be too difficult to be a fisherman, and it is good to be able to live peacefully in the village.

Returning to the hometown is more like an arrow, after entering Nanjiang Province from southern Hunan, it is basically a mountainous and hilly landform, and the mountain bike has been tossed along the way, if it were not for Yang Yi to practice the "Nine Changes of the Divine Dragon", the physique has improved by leaps and bounds, it is estimated that it is impossible to persist in this section of the road, and now he has no trace of fatigue, just like a cycling donkey friend, along the winding mountain road continues to advance.

From the northern end of southern Xinjiang to the southern end, this section of the road took a week to reach the county seat. First of all, I ate a meal of chilled fishmeal, walked around the boundaries of the county, and found that it has not changed much from a few years ago, and it is still familiar. It's just that the county does not have a variety of characteristic industries like other counties in the central and eastern regions, mainly relying on tourism, agriculture, fishery and processing of special products, etc., although it has a long history, but the economic advantages are not obvious.

He didn't stay too long, and he didn't contact his old classmates in the county seat, so he rode to the township, which was beyond imagination, and he didn't arrive at his hometown until five o'clock. After cleaning up, he took out some local specialties bought on the road from the dragon balls, as well as a few fresh saury fish, and walked up to this three-story building, which is the residence of his parents in the township.

Yang Yi looked at the home that he hadn't come back for more than three years, and couldn't help but feel a little excited and guilty in his heart, and it took three or five minutes to finally knock on the door.

"Who?"

Through the security door, the wooden door inside opened, and a middle-aged woman in her fifties with neat short hair asked out.

"Mom, it's me! I'm back!"

"Huzi, really Huzi! Why didn't you come back and not tell your mother?"

Yang Yi's mother hurriedly opened the security door, took the things in his hand, pulled him in, and looked up and down at the child who had not been home for more than three years.

"I don't want to surprise you and my father! I resigned from the company, and I won't go back here in the future, are you happy?"

Looking at his mother, whose hair was already much grayer, Yang Yi was also a little moved, and hurriedly changed the topic and teased.

"I still know that when you come back, I'll just say, what's so good in the capital, thousands of miles, I don't know why you had to stay there in the first place, how good it is to take the civil service exam here......"

The old mother helped him unload the backpack while nagging, looking at the only son in front of him, who was one meter eight tall and dignified, and had been away from his side for more than ten years, breaking outside alone, naturally there was endless words.

Yang Yi's father is a northerner, and his mother is from Yuzhou, and he is also a northerner, and he was later introduced to his father and married, so Yang Yi is also a pure northern blood, and he is tall and big, and he is still somewhat different from the locals.

Seeing that my father was going to get off work, I helped my mother clean up the food, especially those saury fish, after hearing that the price was more than gold, my mother was so frightened that she didn't know how to do it, just these five small fish are worth thousands of dollars, and my mother is a person who has seen the world more or less, and she can't help but be speechless.

Father Yang Dong is fifty-four years old this year, is the deputy head of the township in charge of culture, tourism and sports, and seems to be in charge of a lot, but because the culture, tourism and sports here are not developed, so it is also a leisure post, just waiting to stay up until retirement, which can be regarded as a complete merit.

After coming back and seeing Yang Yi, he was naturally very excited, the two chatted a few words during dinner, Yang Yi said that he wanted to go back to the fishing village to start a business, the second elder did not object, but asked some details, and then said that he would go to inspect it first and make sure, he did not say that he supported it or poured cold water, but Yang Yi could feel that they actually had scruples in their hearts.

Yang Yi also knew that what they wanted most was for him to take the civil service exam and continue to follow the path of politics, but Yang Yi had no interest in that at all. After graduating from university, he entered the company through recruitment, and the beautiful name is that youth lies in struggle, so the two of them had a big quarrel.

However, as they grew older, they showed respect for Yang Yi's choice, and asked Yang Yi to carefully investigate and decide that they would not object, while the mother changed the topic and talked about finding a partner, and used her nagging magic skills to constantly destroy his nerves, so frightened that he hurriedly used the excuse of being tired to rest and went back to the room to hide.

Twenty-seven-year-old Yang Yi is not too old to say, he went to school earlier and went to college earlier, but parents feel that at this age, they should talk about getting married, so they naturally regard this as the top priority in the family.

After eating early the next morning, he rode his bicycle to the mountain village, from the township just into the mountain when it was fine, it was a winding mountain road that had been repaired for a few years, but soon after entering the mountain, the road conditions began to deteriorate, and when it reached the hinterland of Zhushan, it became the kind of potholed road surface that had fallen into disrepair for a long time, and the width was only more than three meters, and one side was still adjacent to the cliff, without any obstruction.

The economy here is underdeveloped, and for a remote village like a mountain village, it is isolated by a mountain range, so it is not so simple to develop even with the support of superiors. Riding all the way like a roller coaster, Yang Yi felt that all his internal organs were turned to his throat, and he couldn't help but worry about the road conditions.

If you want to get rich and build a road first, it is almost an iron law of development, that is, he wants to return to his hometown to develop, this road is a threshold that cannot be bypassed, the road is not good, his things are not good, he can't get out, he can only rot at home, and if he wants to develop, it is like a daydream, it seems that he has to find his father and grandfather to find a way to see if he can solve the problem of this road.

After turning a few hills, the eyes suddenly open up, the blue sky and the sea in the distance meet, between the green water and green mountains, there is a pearl lake like a pearl, reflecting the sun to emit dazzling light, the mountain village is at the corner of the bay next to the pearl lake, the stone houses under the mountain are scattered on the shore of the lake, hidden in the green trees and flowers, from the height of the look really like a paradise.
