It was only about ten o'clock, and the streets were already quiet.

The little guy slept soundly on Chen Xi's shoulder, not knowing that her dearest grandmother and father were now discussing leaving her in the countryside to experience life.

Cities are growing faster and faster.

From the nineties to the millennium, from BB to Big Brother, and later to Nokia and Motorola.

Ten years after decade, Nokia collapsed, and Motorola was half dead.

From the crown and Santara that everyone envies, to the Land Rover and Cayenne that are all over the street.

After wave after wave of rapid development, Huaxia has not even popularized credit cards, and has directly entered the era of mobile payment.

Elementary school students use their mobile phones to buy pancakes and fruits, and the aunt who sets up the stall uses QR codes to collect money.

Mainlanders can't afford to eat tea eggs once became a big joke all over the Internet, but now no one mentions it.

Sooner or later, Wanwan will have to be recovered.

In another ten years, who would dare to mention independence again in Hong Kong Island and Tibetan areas?

The speed of development in China has made the Western powers jaw-dropping, and it has also made them realize more deeply that this lion from the East has finally woken up.

However.

Although the pace of economic development is very fast, some things have clearly not followed the pace of economic development, but have become slightly worse than before.

In the past, peasants were called uncles.

Later, the peasants were called brothers.

Later, the word peasant seemed to have become a curse.

Now the so-called urban people, push up three generations, whose ancestors were not born as farmers?

To borrow a word from the Spring Festival Gala to describe it, that is-manic.

People nowadays are so manic.

A show like a deformation meter shouldn't have appeared.

For children in the city, this program undoubtedly gives them a good educational opportunity, allowing them to see the hardships of ordinary people, so that they can learn to respect and cherish their current life.

However, for children and parents in rural areas, what this show has brought them is endless harm and doubt about themselves and society.

Kind and simple rural children, after seeing the lights and wine in the big city, will they ask: why?

Why is the rich second generation corrupt and degenerate, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing all their lives?

Why is it that the poor second generation is hardworking and wise, but they can't get out of the mountains in their lifetime?

Education has never been an immediate thing, but a protracted battle.

From the moment Chen Xi returned to Nian Nian's side, he was ready for this battle.

He wants to teach me to be a human being.

What is a human being?

The nature of heaven and earth is also the most noble.

This inscription, like the shape of an arm and shin, belongs to all mortals.

Man, signifies an erect animal that knows how to bow and be humble.

So it's still the same sentence, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people.

There is no perfect person in the world, and Chen Xi just wants to try his best to cultivate his daughter into the 'person' he recognizes in his mind.

……

Early the next morning, the family set off to the cheers of the little ones.

In the understanding of the little guy, the word rural is no different from a tourist attraction.

Therefore, when he heard Chen Xi say that he was going to take her to Aunt Zhang's hometown, the little guy was very excited.

Chen Xi chartered a business car, and then the family of seven went straight to Yucheng.

Aunt Zhang's hometown is in Xingxian County, which is under the jurisdiction of Yucheng, first from the highway to Xingxian, and then from the 108 National Highway to the countryside, and then after running more than 10 kilometers of winding mountain roads, she finally came to the production team where Aunt Zhang's hometown is located.

Of course, the name "production team" has been revoked and is now called the villager group.

The little guy has always stayed in super first-tier cities such as Shangjing and Zhonghai, and all he sees is a reinforced concrete jungle.

Suddenly coming to such a beautiful place really gave her a particularly novel experience.

Many people don't know that in fact, there are three Silk Roads, in addition to the mainland passage from Chang'an to Rome opened by Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty, the other is the Southwest Silk Road.

The predecessor of the Southwest Silk Road was the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which entered Dian Prefecture from Sichuan and Shu, passed through Myanmar to India, and finally turned into Iran.

The starting point of National Highway 108 is Shangjing, and the end point is Chuncheng, Dian Zhou, with a total length of 3,356 kilometers.

After this national highway enters Sichuan, it basically follows the route of the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

The car winds along the national highway, which is very slow because it is a winding road.

The road is bordered by a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other, and below the cliff is a large rushing river.

How could the little one ever see such a spectacular sight?

So, she was very excited to lie on the car window, looking at the river under the cliff and constantly exclaiming.

Most of the rural areas in the north live in a concentrated manner, while the rural areas in the south prefer to live in scattered areas, so along the road, you will occasionally see a few lonely courtyards standing on the edge of the cliff.

When the Beijing-Kunming Expressway was not yet built, National Highway 108 was the only way for Sichuan and Shu to go to Dian Zhou, so there would be many villagers along the road to open restaurants and shops to earn some extra money from outsiders who traveled long distances to subsidize their families.

However, with the completion and opening of the Beijing-Kunming Expressway, National Highway 108 has also declined.

After all, there are high speeds, who will still be hovering and bumpy on the old road?

This has also led to an almost standstill, or even a regression, of the economic development along this route.

Most of the small bungalows you see along the road were built more than ten years ago.

In recent years, real estate speculation has been so strong, and the people have also been greatly affected, and now whoever has a little money will go to the county seat to buy a house and move into the county with their family, rather than choosing to build a house by themselves and continue to be trapped in this place.

This is also the result of the development of the times.

Aunt Zhang's hometown is even poorer and more backward than Chen Xi imagined......

This place is called Tongjiagou, and it is a small village five kilometers away from the nearest township.

There are a few small two-storey bungalows scattered on both sides of the road, and the first floor of the bungalows is a restaurant, but now the door is closed, and even the sign that says food and lodging has become dilapidated and uncared for.

Except for these bungalows, most of the others are bungalows, and some are even black wooden houses, which look like old buildings from the fifties and sixties of the last century.

There is no school in the village, and if the children want to go to school, they have to spend a dollar every morning and take a van to the township middle school.

However, who doesn't have many rich and powerful relatives now?

When the children reach the age of middle school, the villagers will send the children to the county seat or relatives in the township to spend the night, so there are basically no children in their teens in this place, but there are many children who are about the same age as Niannian.

The children came in groups, and as soon as they saw the GL8 from Rongcheng, they swarmed around.

After Qin Ruoying led the little guy out of the car, several children immediately surrounded her, chattering in dialects she didn't understand at all.

This battle was completely unexpected by the little one, and it immediately made her a little scared.

The little guy timidly hid most of his body behind Qin Ruoying, only revealing half of his head to look at his peers in front of him.

She was afraid of others, but the children in front of her were not afraid of her, but smiled and grimaced at her.

Aunt Zhang noticed the strangeness of the little one, so she laughed as if she was chasing ducks, waved her hand to these children and said, "Go, go, play." ”

The children seemed to know Aunt Zhang, so after chattering, they rushed into the distance.

The children ran away, and the little guy cowered and got out from behind Qin Ruoying.

She looked at the bungalows around her, and then at the dilapidated bungalow not far away.

This small village built on a national highway is surrounded by mountains on one side and a river valley on the other.

Because there are very few cars passing by these days, the village is exceptionally quiet.

The little guy looked at this strange place, and suddenly felt a sense of depression in his heart.

So, she pursed her mouth and muttered pitifully to Qin Ruoying: "Ma Ma, I want to go home......"
