After staying at home for two days, Liao Fanmin drove back to his hometown.

Returning to the countryside in the middle of summer is much more comfortable than the city in every way.

Liao Fanmin returned to his hometown, Liao Tiangui and Sun Kaixiu were very happy, they had not seen Liao Fanmin after the Chinese New Year, when Liao Fanyao came back a few days ago, the two old people also specifically inquired, and learned that Liao Fanmin was about to intern in Nanhua City, the two old people were very happy, and the Liao family finally had someone working in a big city.

In Liao Tiangui's view, although Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing are working in Nanhua City, they still have to go home in the end, and it is impossible to take root in Nanhua City, Liao Fanmin is different, and he will definitely live in the metropolis for the rest of his life.

Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing have called back several times, or asked someone to carry a letter, originally planned to pick up the two old people to Nanhua City to have a look, but recently they have a lot of things, saying that they went to Beijing, so the matter of going to Nanhua City may need to be postponed, although he has served as the village party secretary, and he also has a certain amount of knowledge, but Liao Tiangui has not been far away, the farthest is to Fandu, in his heart, he still wants to go to a metropolis like Beijing and Nanhua City to see.

Liao Fanmin's sleeping room is arranged on the second floor of the new house, the best room in the south.

A mobile signal transmission tower has been built in the village, and there is a mobile phone signal, which also allows Liao Fanmin to receive a call after returning to his hometown, Cheng Yahui still has to call every day, if he can't receive a call, Liao Fanmin and Cheng Yahui will be anxious.

The hometown is grandparents, second aunts and aunts, as well as cousins and cousins, strictly speaking, Liao Fanmin has no object to speak to, and he attaches great importance to family affection when he is reborn, but because of age restrictions and little contact, including the difference in knowledge, there are not many words between grandparents and grandparents, as for the second aunt and aunt, not to mention.

On the first day of returning to his hometown, Liao Fanmin chose to go for a walk in the fields, the sun was shining, he wore a straw hat and sneakers, and walked far, far away.

The potatoes in the field have all been harvested, the green rice seedlings are also beginning to hang the grain, and the corn is close to the ripening time.

Although the sun is a little hot, it still feels comfortable and open, without the slightest feeling of oppression, which is completely different from the dullness produced by the accumulation of too many cement and steel bars in the city.

As he walked, he saw a hill opposite, and Liao Fanmin's interest came up, and he walked towards the mountain.

There are many trees in the mountains, and occasionally one or two plots of cultivated land can be seen, and corn is also planted, but the growth of corn does not look much sparse compared with the corn in the fields below the mountain, probably because the trees block the sunlight.

In the mountains, you can see some fruit trees, loquats, plums, apricots, etc., all ripe and ripe, and the fruit trees are not very high, and you can pick them with your hand.

Seeing these fruit trees, as well as the ripe fruits, Liao Fanmin felt his mouth dry, and he instinctively wanted to reach out and pick the fruits on the trees, but he was quite hesitant.

"Xiaomin, if you want to eat, pick the fruit and eat it, the fruit trees in the countryside are all planted by themselves, and no one cares."

When a voice came from behind him, Liao Fanmin hurriedly turned around.

Liao Tiangui was behind him, wearing a straw hat, his hands behind his back, and a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

"You grew up in the city, you don't come back much, you are not familiar with here, I see that you have gone too far, I am afraid that you will not find your way home, there are many small roads in the village, every household feeds the dogs, if you meet a vicious dog when you go home, it will be troublesome."

Liao Tiangui said as he stepped forward and reached out to pick a few ripe loquats.

"Loquat is somewhat ripe, the best at the end of June, no one cares about the loquat planted in the mountain, and it will not be harvested, whoever walks here, you can pick loquat to eat, birds like to eat loquat the most, good loquat in the mountain, almost all birds eat, and I don't know the loquat of this tree, why can it be kept, this is your blessing."

Liao Tiangui handed a few of the best-looking loquat to Liao Fanmin.

Liao Fanmin peeled off a loquat and fed it to his mouth, the ripe loquat was very sweet and delicious.

After eating nearly ten loquat in succession, Liao Tiangui spoke again.

"Xiaomin, don't eat too much loquat in the mountains, worry about your stomach being bad, especially if you are tired, whether you drink water or eat fruits, you must pay attention to controlling the quantity, on a hot day, it is easy to have a stomachache if you eat too much."

"Grandpa, how can this be."

"This, I don't know very well, it's all passed down from the older generation, you just need to pay attention to it in the future."

There are many trees in the mountains, but the roads are not very easy to walk, and there are some places where you can't find the trails until you look closely.

Liao Tiangui walked in front, and Liao Fanmin followed behind.

Liao Tiangui must be familiar with this place, and when he walked towards the mountain, Liao Fanmin was never pierced by wild thorns again.

"Xiaomin, I heard that you are interning in a government agency and eating public meals like your father, isn't that so?"

"Grandpa, I am an intern at the Legislative Affairs Office of the Nanhua Municipal Government, and it sounds similar, but there are still certain differences."

"The differences you mentioned, I don't know, I know that eating public meals is guaranteed, you will graduate from college in the future, you must eat public meals, look at your parents, eat public meals for a lifetime, safe and stable, your second uncle and uncle, if it weren't for your help, even if they went out to work, they couldn't find such a good thing to do, don't look at the money they get now, but it's always unstable, you can only take advantage of the time when you are young and strong, earn more money, and you will be guaranteed to be old in the future. . . ."

Liao Tiangui's words, Liao Fanmin can't refute, even after more than ten years, such a situation still exists, it is impossible for farmers to retire, after they are old and frail, their lives are difficult to be guaranteed, and most of them rely on their juniors to support.

The policy of endowment insurance has not yet been fully rolled out, but in Liao Fanmin's mind, such an idea has emerged, we must find a way to buy endowment insurance for grandpa and grandmother, in his memory, after farmers buy endowment insurance, they can get nearly 1,000 yuan of living expenses at most every month, which is enough to live.

The strength of the New Century Limited Liability Company is strong, but it has not yet begun to buy endowment insurance for the company's employees, this is because of the restrictions of national policies, once the work of enterprise restructuring is completed, the endowment insurance business should also be fully rolled out, as a shareholder of the company, Liao Fanmin will put forward a proposal at the appropriate time, so that the future of the second uncle and the second uncle is also guaranteed.

"Grandpa, you and grandma are older, the second uncle and the second uncle are out to do things, the family field, I don't think you want to plant, I think the second aunt and the second aunt are also very hard, older than the New Year."

"No matter what the peasants do if they don't farm, I can still go to the fields to farm, there are so many fields at home, if there is no one to cultivate them, all of them will be wasted, and I will not be able to raise my head in the village, and the lazy people will suffer from criticism in the village."

"Grandpa, you can hand over the field to someone else to plant, and you won't abandon it."

"How can such a good field be handed over to others to plant, I'm not at ease."

Liao Fanmin shook his head slightly, don't talk about this matter, Liao Tiangui has been farming all his life, and it is basically impossible to ask him not to farm, this kind of thinking is not something that Liao Fanmin can understand.

We have reached the top of the hill, and there is a large piece of cultivated land on it.

"Grandpa, the nearest household here is at least two miles of land, who has reclaimed the land here."

"There is not enough land in the village, there are people everywhere in the mountains to open up wasteland, there are more people who have gone out to work in recent years, and a lot of the land that has been reclaimed has no one to cultivate, and it is a pity for me to see that it is barren."

From the hill, you can see far away, the houses in the village are nestled between the fields, there are almost no bungalows in sight, most of them are old houses, and even thatched huts can be seen.

It is a fact that the countryside is not yet rich.

"Xiaomin, what are you looking at?"

"Grandpa, I'll just take a look around me."

"I don't look very good when I see you, don't you think the village is too poor."

"A little, grandpa, you deserve to be the village party secretary, you can see my thoughts."

"Xiaomin, I know you have a big heart, your father has also been here, he saw everything under the mountain on the mountain, and his expression was not good, I told him, do things well in the organs, think of the suffering of the peasants, if you can, help talk to the peasants, there are many families in the village, they can't afford to pay agricultural taxes and three mentions, some families can't even afford to buy salt, these situations, people in the city can't imagine at all. . . ."

Liao Fanmin knows, of course, that the peasants are suffering, and in five years, the central government's policies will be introduced, the agricultural tax will be completely exempted, and the three mentions and five reunifications will no longer exist.

"Grandpa, don't worry, the above must know that the farmers are suffering and will help the farmers."

Liao Tiangui waved his hand.

"Xiaomin, you and Yaoyao will both work in a big place in the future, I think Yaoyao is better to work in Beijing, your grandmother and I can go to Beijing to see, where is Beijing, I want to see it in my dreams, these things in the village are not what you think, and you don't need to worry about it, everyone has their own way, the road you and Yaoyao choose is the best, your future life will be very good, we old people, don't make trouble for you, it's the best...

"Grandpa, don't think so, after I join the work, I will definitely take you and grandma to Nanhua City to have a look, and let you and grandma go to the big cities in the south to see, I also have to tell Yaoyao to ask Yaoyao to take you and grandma to Beijing as soon as possible...

"Okay, okay, I'll wait."

An old man and a young man left the top of the hill and walked down the mountain, and their figures appeared in the fields, and the sun shone through them, stretching their figures for a long time.
