The news of Ye Chen, who had been lost for a long time, caused ripples in Jiang Rou's heart. She lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and her heart ached.

Wang Jiaran's face flashed in her head again.

Jiang Rou is a beautiful girl, and she has always regarded it as a normal thing for the opposite sex to show her affection, but she is still a little flattered by people like Wang Jiaran who have repeatedly shown favor to Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou closed her eyes, and the faces of Ye Chen and Wang Jiaran appeared in her head, as well as the faces of university professors, government officials, township civil servants, and poor households who went to help the poor this time. There is an indescribable depression in my heart

When she was in junior high school, she thought that if she was admitted to a top university, her life would be better, and she would be able to get out of the poor countryside and return to the city to live that modern and exquisite life.

Jiang Rou recalled the "good life" she was living now, but she felt so empty and meaningless.

This city was so kind and gentle to her as a native in her previous life, but now it is so cold and strange to her, a small town girl.

The friends around her are from solid backgrounds such as Wang Jiaran, Zhang Mingjun, and Meng Ke, and talented people such as Ye Chen, Wang Jiaran, Qiao Jingyang, and Xue Zhu.

At first, she thought that she and they were friends, a kind of person, but then she gradually realized that they were not.

She does not have a solid family background and does not have a proud intelligence. She's just an ordinary person.

In the dark, Jiang Rou looked at the ceiling with her eyes open, she now felt that everything was so meaningless, her life's struggle, her efforts were all a vulgar struggle to improve her social status. When she sees through these flashiness now, she feels that her pursuit and struggle are so empty.

Jiang Rou smiled in the dark, she had no ideals at all, after the breakup, Ye Chen still had her own career to comfort herself, but she was chaotic and drifting with the flow.

Jiang Rou's mind thought of the vulgar chats and laughter of the intellectuals and professors she admired at the wine table, the dilapidated living environment of poor households, and she thought of her mother, Xiao Yonghui, Xiao and them. Jiang Rou had a hint of wanting to go back to the countryside in her heart at this moment, reading used to have a great status in her heart, because reading was the best way for class upward circulation.

In the past, Jiang Rou wanted to realize the flow of her own class and go up.

But at this moment she began to think about her own value as a human being, what could she do for this society?

In the dark, she silently asked and answered herself, since she broke up with Ye Chen, the incomparably huge emptiness eroded her.

Tonight, she suddenly realized that the most important happiness as a person is not to achieve class mobility, nor to fall in love, but to have an ideal that she dreams of and wants to achieve, and to fight for it, just like Ye Chen, like Qiao Jingyang, and like Xiao He.

The sound of Qiao Zhu tapping on the keyboard came to Jiang Rou's ears, and Jiang Rou fell asleep with the sound of crackling.

In the dream, there is a large green field.

There was no class in her senior year, and not long after she arrived in January, Jiang Rou dragged her suitcase back to Qiaozhu County early.

She was very interested in Xiao Yonghui's idea, and after a few phone calls, Jiang Rou decided to go home early to see for herself.

In the past, the dilapidated and isolated town always made her breathless, and she tried every possible way to escape, but now the countryside always attracts her attention unconsciously.

She shouldn't run away, she should change.

The day after returning home, Jiang Rou found Xiao Yonghui, and the two went to Xiaozao Village

Through the window, Jiang Rou took a deep breath of this moist and fresh air, and now facing this simple and fresh natural scenery, a kind of cordial admiration couldn't help but swell into Jiang Rou's heart.

Xiao Yonghui drove the car and glanced at Jiang Rou next to him with a smile on her face, "Are you serious?"

The car was speeding smoothly, and now the rape on the side of the road was waist-high this season, and the country roads were full of this kind of oil crop, Jiang Rou could already predict how beautiful it would be when it bloomed.

"yes"

"I thought a girl like you, you'd go to the big city and never come back. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Rou laughed, "What kind of girl is a girl like me?"

"Haha, you know, the kind that looks beautiful and is also very motivated. ”

"I used to want to go to the big city, but that place didn't have my ideal anymore. ”

After speaking, Jiang Rou laughed self-deprecatingly.

She felt that her previous thoughts were really indescribable, and she always wanted to go to big places, see big scenes, and see big people.

She feels like a nobody in her heart, and she always stares at the so-called upper class with an upward gaze.

Xiao Yonghui chuckled, "Then what is your ideal now?"

Jiang Rou touched her chin with a smile in her eyes, "Do a career with you and lead the villagers out of poverty." ”

Xiao Yonghui quipped, "You and Xiao He are really compatible"

"Aren't you?"

"I didn't have a concept before, I just played with Xiao He. ”

Jiang Rou smiled slyly, "What about now?"

"It's good. I watched Xiaozao Village get rich little by little. Changed a lot"

Xiao Yonghui sighed a little, the things he has done over the years have brought him a huge sense of achievement, he watched a poor village build a greenhouse, and watched how the "10 cooperatives that are 9 out of 10 are cheating state funds" are making profits step by step.

Living conditions have improved, villagers have renovated their houses, hardened paths, installed street lights, and more and more children are leaving the village to go to school in the county or even the city......

If he didn't have any ideas before, now he sincerely wants to stay in the countryside and sincerely wants to change here.

The two laughed and chatted all the way, and the black car raced on the winding mountain road.

In just an hour, the car drove to the village committee of Xiaozao Village, Jiang Rou looked up, and saw that it was much more magnificent than the last time Jiang Rou still remembered the small bungalow in his impression

"A new building?"

"yes"

Walking into the office of the village party secretary, Jiang Rou saw Xiao He sitting at the desk, looking at some documents. The young man wore a gray shirt and a black crewneck sweater over it, with a kind of academic Sven.

The air conditioner was whirring with warm air.

Until now, Jiang Rou still can't associate Yale graduates with the village party secretary.

Seeing people coming, Xiao He stood up with a smile on his face, "Hello guys." ”

Jiang Rou smiled and said hello, "Hello"

Xiao He brought a chair over, and all three of them sat down

Jiang Rou learned a lot from Xiao Yonghui, and they planned to set up an agricultural company to transfer land in the county on a large scale, concentrate production, and then engage in breeding, agricultural product processing, and so on.
