On the way home from Yang's house, you can see that most of the houses on the side of the road are empty, the doors are closed, there are no people, only a few families still live here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dad said that from now on, there will be no dirt on the ground, there will be no concrete, and everywhere you go, it will be crowded with people - what kind of scene is it?

He Tingting couldn't imagine it, sighed, and retracted his gaze to look around.

She walked this way, rarely meeting people. What I saw in the Yang family just now is more than half of the people in this village.

How can such a dilapidated village become a high-rise building? How can such a deserted fishing village become crowded?

"Yo, it's Tingting. A person walked in front of him, and when he saw He Tingting, he greeted him happily and walked up with a quicker pace.

He Tingting looked up and saw that the person who came was about thirty years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, wearing patched clothes, his face was full of sadness, only there was some light in his eyes. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to call it. She couldn't remember who this person was.

He Tingting looked at the person in front of her who was similar to most of the peasants of the same era, and was a little in a trance, maybe more than thirty years and almost forty years had really passed, so that she had forgotten some people and things.

"It's twelve......" When the second grandmother saw someone coming, she smiled and persuaded, "If you can't go, forget it, let's live a good life in the future." ”

When Uncle Shen heard this, he shook his head and said resolutely, "If you go once, you can't succeed in going a second time, I will always smuggle over." Speaking of this, the slightly bright eyes completely brightened, "Go to the other side, life will be better." The last time I met Seventeen at the Luohu Pass, he was dressed even better than the senior officials we were here. ”

Li Zhenzhen pulled He Tingting and looked sideways at Uncle Shen Twelve, "Twelfth Uncle, how many times have you smuggled in total?"

"Nine times. Uncle Shen pursed his lips, "I'll go next time." Speaking of this, he looked at He Tingting, "Tingting, you have to go over, follow me next time." Wutongling Road is very difficult to walk, and not many can succeed. It is convenient to swim from the sea, and Uncle Twelve will take you. ”

He Tingting shook his head resolutely, "I'm not going, and you don't want to go either, Uncle Twelve." ”

"Why don't you go? I think you've learned to swim too, and it's easy to swim through. Even if you can't support it, Uncle Twelve has a secret weapon to help you. Uncle Shen said confidently.

In the whole of Bao'an County, almost everyone is eager to be able to smuggle to the Xiangjiang River, so in addition to work, the most people do is practice swimming, hoping to one day swim through the mangrove sea. In the entire Shen Village, there is no one over the age of four who can't swim.

He Tingting naturally knew how to swim, but she didn't want to go anymore, so she immediately said, "Uncle Twelve, I'm not going, I'm going to stay." We'll get better here in the future, so you can stay too. ”

Uncle Shen showed an indifferent smile, "No, Tingting, those are all deceptive words from above. If you look at our village, you look at the neighboring villages, how many people are there? What can you do with such a few people? If you want to go, the next time Uncle Twelve comes over, he will take you with him, and if you don't go, forget it. ”

His wife and children all died in the smuggled water, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He has only one goal in this life, and that is to go to the other side, work hard with his own hands, and live a good life.

Here, there is nothing worth his nostalgia.

The reason why I went with He Tingting was because she had been smuggled a few days ago and almost died. It reminded him of his dead daughter, the penultimate living person in their family, but in '76, she left her life forever in the salty waters.

To this end, he has exhausted all kinds of methods and collected a lot of things, hoping that one day he will be able to float through them. Because of these things, he dared to open his mouth and ask He Tingting to go with him.

He Tingting was alone as a little girl, and there was no one to take refuge into, so she could only follow him and be his daughter.

"I'm not going, Uncle Twelve, if you go again next time, you must be careful. He Tingting said.

Uncle Shen nodded, his expression returned to his expressionlessness, and the light in his eyes was only a spark.

It would be better if He Tingting didn't go, so as to save himself from dying at sea like his daughter.

The second grandmother half-hugged He Tingting and continued to walk forward, walked a little farther, and told He Tingting, "Don't smuggle in again, you know? Don't listen to your twelfth uncle." His parents are dead, his wife and children are dead, and he is a widow, where are you going? You are different, you have your parents, you have three brothers......

"I know, I'm not going to smuggle it over. He Tingting nodded seriously.

Li Zhenzhen and He Xuan even listened to it, and they were so happy that they jumped up and down, saying that they wanted He Tingting to remember what they said, and they were not allowed to go over secretly, and they also said that they would share her with the good things they had collected.

Back at home, He Tingting was seen by Lin Lingling, who was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, and almost entered the door by the ear, "Look at you, the mouth on your head hasn't been closed yet, so you went out to play, don't die, right?"

Grandma He was sitting in the garden mending the clothes in her hand, and when she saw it, she shouted, "Lin Lingling, Ah Xue is coming back, do you want to make him hungry? ”

Lin Lingling, who was crushed to death by her mother-in-law, heard this, withdrew her hands, glared at He Tingting, said hello to the second grandmother, and went into the kitchen with a handful of dishes.

She was as sharp as she was, and soon the kitchen was tinkling.

When Grandma He saw Lin Lingling enter the kitchen, her face was full of smiles, and she instructed He Xuanlian, "Go in and move the stool out, give one to your second grandmother, and one to Tingting." I really moved my own, and everyone sat and talked. ”

He Xuanlian listened, quickly ran into the living room, and moved two bamboo chairs out.

The second grandmother sat down with He Tingting and asked Grandma He, "Sister, are you done?"

She used to call the second grandmother "Miss", but later she was asked by Grandma He to change it, and it was extremely difficult to change, so she removed the word "small" and called her "sister" directly. ”

Grandma He and she are like sisters, and they are very satisfied with this "sister", and this title is called like this.

"It'll take you another half a day, but you'll have to keep an eye on what's going on in the village. Grandma He said softly.

"Hey, I know. I will pay attention to any movement in this village. The second grandmother said, and whispered to Grandma He about Yang Youdong and Shen Hongyan pushing He Tingting down the mountain.

Li Zhenzhen and He Xuanlian heard this with their own ears and joined in the discussion.

Only He Tingting has been sitting next to him and being distracted.
