At the end of the year, at the beginning of January 2013, the infrastructure of Mocun had been completed, almost in line with the progress of Taoyuan Village, and the economy of Mocun had also recovered.

After the inspection, the leaders of the county and town were very satisfied, especially after visiting the photos in Principal Huang's house, they saw the trajectory of the changes in Mocun, and heard about the founding of Principal Huang, not only praised Principal Huang on the spot and said that he was the recorder of the Mocun era and the pioneer of education, but also said that if the Mocun Primary School is run well in the future, the Education Bureau will review and think it is good, and the county is not impossible to give some policy project funding to the Mocun Primary School. Principal Huang excitedly shook the leader's hand and did not let go, and said that the new primary school would definitely be prosperous, not to mention that Teacher Geng was there.

The leaders listened to Principal Huang talk about Geng Hao's education process and deeds, and the leaders were very surprised, feeling that some of the methods Geng Hao used were not possible in the county's schools now, such as the tutorial case teaching, they had basically only heard of it, but had not seen it yet. It is not easy to go deep into remote villages to teach, and now he is still making great strides in educational practice, saying that the educational experience he brought is very worthy of learning from other primary and secondary schools in the county. After communicating with Geng Hao, the leader looked at Principal Huang and Geng Hao, two teachers who were not grandchildren and grandchildren, and said that they were waiting for their school to be run well.

Afterwards, the leader asked Secretary Zhang to make a summary of the construction of Mo Village, and all aspects were written clearly. At the county and town meetings at the end of the year, Mocun was commended and praised as a model village, so that other villages could learn from Mocun and speed up the progress of development and construction.

The life of Mo Village is also thriving, and every household has not only changed their new houses, but also added a lot of furniture and electrical appliances, and there are more families with motorcycles. Some have already started saving money and are ready to change to a small motorcycle in two years. With the establishment of the market town at the entrance of the village and the opening of the tourism project in Taoyuan Village in the coming year, the young people in the village found business opportunities and were not ready to go out to work, so they began to take out loans in a hurry and bought a store in the market town, ready to do business in the coming year.

Zhong Ling also bought one, which is near the school, and is ready to open a small restaurant to make money. When the people in the village heard this, they all said that the business was good. Zhong Ling's cooking skills are so good, when people from outside come to travel, maybe because they have eaten Zhong Ling's food, they want to come a second time, doesn't this boost the economy of their villages?

The market town is used very quickly, at the end of the year, large and small shops are opened, and after the New Year's close, people from several surrounding villages no longer have to go back and forth to the town or county, and directly buy New Year's goods for the New Year in their village market. In a hurry to do business, Principal Huang took pictures, and also set up a stall in the market town and began to write and sell Spring Festival couplets on the spot. Principal Huang is a literate person, and he writes a good calligraphy, usually there will be people to ask for Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, this year Principal Huang directly set up a stall, and he can also earn some money.

When Mo Cun was happy and preparing for the New Year, Geng Hao took the train back home and did not stay in Mo Village for the New Year this year.

Geng Hao hasn't been home for a few years, and his uncle and aunt really miss him, so they urge him over and over again, saying that he will go back this year. Geng Hao happened to be homesick, so he bought a train ticket, entrusted Principal Huang to Zhong Ling, and went home.

Geng Hao didn't go back to his home for four years, and when he returned to the village, he found that his hometown had also changed a lot, almost from the inside out, and it had been renovated.

When Geng Hao took his cousin's car back to the village, he looked at the brand-new and uniform small high-rise buildings on both sides along the way, and he felt a little strange. All the houses are the same, although it doesn't look like the previous earthen houses, it looks regular and dull, and the form of the house is simple and not very good-looking, but it is very comfortable to walk in all the way, and you can clearly find that the village is really developing.

The highway is re-trimmed, there are rows of trees planted on both sides, all of which are very thin, and at a glance you can know that they have been newly transplanted in the past two years, and it seems that now the rural construction is also more focused on greening.

While driving the car, my cousin talked about the changes in the village and the changes in the family in the past two years. However, Geng Hao had heard most of the content, because he would call home every week, and his uncle and aunt would excitedly introduce him to the new things that happened every week. From where the village started to build bridges, to whose family married their daughters-in-law.

The cousin asked Geng Hao again how he was teaching over there, because the cousin had earned a little money in the past two years, so he bought a house in the city, which had been separated from the family. In addition, I am busy every day, and I only have time to make a phone call to my parents during the holidays. There is no time to ask Geng Hao's situation.

Geng Hao told his cousin about what he experienced in Mo Village, and his cousin listened and talked about his hard work. However, the cousin was more interested in Zhong Xiu's affairs, and kept asking Zhong Xiu how the girl was, and then asked Zhong Xiu's relatives and friends from Zhong Xiu, which can not be said to be detailed.

After the cousin asked about this series of things, he began to ask Geng Hao when he would bring Geng Zhongxiu to the house so that everyone in the family could see him. Geng Hao said that when he came back this year, Zhong Xiu wanted to come back with him, but there were few people in the Mocun Village Committee, and several of their village cadres had to run around for everything, and the village had just developed this year, and there were still many things to deal with, so Zhong Xiu didn't have time to come over.

As soon as the first few questions were confused, the cousin directly asked Geng Hao if he had any ideas to marry someone. When Geng Hao heard this, he was embarrassed to say it for a while. said that he went to the countryside to teach after graduation, and now he doesn't have much money at all, and he can't even afford a house, so he doesn't dare to think about it.

The cousin frowned, waved his hand and said, you have dedicated your people to their village, and that girl will definitely understand. Besides, there is no house in Mo Village, but there is one at home. Although Geng Hao's parents died early, and the house is still an old house, it was rebuilt relatively quickly. The cousin told Geng Hao not to worry, he could help take charge of this matter and ensure that he helped build the house before he married his daughter-in-law.

Geng Hao was vague and did not answer. The cousin found that something was wrong with him, and suddenly guessed what Geng Hao meant, so he asked Geng Hao, wouldn't he want to stay in Mo Village and not come back? Geng Hao didn't know it clearly, so he euphemistically said that he was about to take over the school over there now, and it would probably be difficult to come back in the future, maybe he would have to stay there and settle down.

When the cousin heard this, he finally stretched his brows, and suddenly wrinkled again, and told Geng Hao seriously. If that's the case, then he's going to be a son-in-law? It's like going to plug the door upside down, saying that he might be bullied by the people in their village in the future.

Geng Hao hurriedly explained that he didn't mean that, he meant that he might stay in Mo Village, buy a house there, and then think about marrying Zhong Xiu.

The cousin immediately snorted, saying that this is not all the same, and then opened the conversation box to educate Geng Hao. collected more than a dozen cases from his mind and told Geng Hao about the disadvantages of the inverted door, how miserable those men were in the woman's house, and they had no sovereignty, and so on.

Geng Hao sat in the co-pilot, and he couldn't escape his cousin's education, so he could only vaguely respond, and then explained to his cousin that it was now a new century, a new era, and the situation was different from before, not as serious as he said. The cousin immediately said, why not, and then he had to give Geng Hao an example of his village, and then said that this is something that can only happen in the last two years, so it's relatively close. Geng Hao was speechless for a while.

The cousin saw that Geng Hao had nothing to say, so he continued to sleep while the iron was hot. Although their village has developed in the past two years, everyone knows that it is so easy to change their thinking? Old ideas are definitely still deep-rooted. He also said that Geng Hao should not go to the big city to study for a few years, thinking that now all places are civilized, open and equal.

Geng Hao leaned against the car glass and listened to his cousin's teachings with a serious face. But in fact, only he knows how much he listens. But Geng Hao also knew that what his cousin said still made some sense. At least one of them, the man can't rely on the woman financially, which is too much to say.

In fact, Zhong Xiu's family has a very enlightened view of marriage, believing that as long as two people are married together, it doesn't matter who spends whose money and whose house they live in. As long as you get married, you can work together. When Zhong Ling and Huang Lin got married, Huang Lin didn't have a house and didn't have much money, so he went directly to the Zhong family. For so many years, the two of them have supported each other, and there has been no conflict because of Huang Lin's involvement, and even the older they get, the sweeter they are.

But on second thought, the Zhong family's house already has Huang Lin, a son-in-law. If he goes into it again, it's not very appropriate. Although he never thought about it, he only thought now that he could save some savings by planting trees, so that he would have more confidence even if he talked about marriage.

After Geng Hao returned home, because the house had been idle for many years, it had long been impossible to live in, so he lived in his uncle's house first. The neighbors on the left and right saw it and asked Geng Hao enthusiastically about the situation in the past few years.

The neighbors saw that Geng Hao was dressed ordinary, and he was still teaching in a remote village, and he didn't earn any money at all, although he didn't have any sarcasm and contempt for Geng Hao, but he was also embarrassed. They all said behind their backs that it seemed that it was useless to be admitted to a prestigious university, and in the end he became a poor boy, and said that since he wanted to teach, instead of teaching in the countryside, it was better to come back and teach in his own county, take a high school, and have a high salary for a year.

This situation is not uncommon after Geng Hao returns. The village is full of acquaintances, and everywhere you go, someone will ask about the current situation, and almost everyone starts to sigh like this after understanding, sometimes behind the scenes and sometimes in person, Geng Hao is used to it.
