Chapter 1 Resignation and Returning Home

Next Chapter

Fengshui Town, which is close to the mountain city, has become an important town with light industry because of its topography.

At the end of August, when the sun was blazing, a bus from Shancheng to Fengshui stopped opposite the Second People's Hospital.

"Okay, get out of the car", the attendant opened the door and shouted at everyone to get out of the car quickly.

Li Yang pulled a large box and carried a backpack and stepped out of the car.

The streets of the town are covered in a layer of dust, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

"Finally back", Li Yang showed a smile, it still feels good in his hometown, although it is not developed, although it is still dilapidated.

In front of the hospital, there are a lot of motorcycles parked, and it has always been like this.

"Master, are you leaving?" Li Yang pulled his luggage and walked over and asked.

"Five yuan", the master looks like he is forty years old, with thinning hair, a towel tied around his neck, and his clothes look a little dirty.

Li Yang didn't say anything, nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Li Yang agreed, the master hurriedly got out of the car and tied the luggage with straps, and then drove in the direction of Lijia Village.

From the town to Lijia Village, there is no bus, only a motorcycle.

On the way, the master was quite easy-going, and when he saw that Li Yang came back from outside, he began to talk to him about the changes in his hometown in the past few years.

In fact, Li Yang just hasn't come back for two years.

But every time I came back, it was three or four days, and I was in a hurry.

In the four years since he graduated, he has been back three times, and he has not spent more than eight days at home.

Under the provincial highway, there is a section of rural road into Lijia Village, which has been good in recent years and has been made into a cement road, but it is only half.

The motorcycle crushed against the gravel road with a crisp rattling sound.

Half an hour later, Li Yang finally stood at the entrance of the village.

Lijia Village, a well-known village in ten miles and eight townships, can be said to be the largest village in the entire Fengshui Town.

There are 169 households in the village, with a total population of 789 people, and most importantly, more than 60% of the people in the village are surnamed Li.

Lijia Village is divided into three parts, which are called Shangli Village, Lower Li Village, and Lijia Village in the middle.

Because the building structure of Lijia Village is relatively close, the village is not far apart, so it has become the first village of Fengshui worthy of the name.

Li Yang's home is on the edge of the entrance of Lijia Village, and he is the first to enter the village.

Judging from the land handed down by the older generation, their family is also the largest in the entire village, which is related to Li Yang's grandfather's experience in those years.

But so far, Li Yang's house in the village is the worst.

Two earthen houses, two brick houses at the top, and three small courtyards in the front and center on the right.

At this time, the young people in the village, or some laborers, have gone out to work, and the old houses of the family have been renovated, most of them are new houses with two or three floors, three or four floors, red bricks and green tiles, and they have been painted.

It's not that they don't want to renovate, it's that future generations already have a house in the town, and there's no need to spend money here.

"Oh, Li Yang is back", a woman with a hoe was about to go out to do farm work, and when she saw Li Yang, she shouted in surprise.

Soon, the news of Li Yang's return was known to the whole village.

This time is not the Spring Festival, and it seems a little strange for Li Yang to come back.

In the evening, the whole family had a lively meal.

Although Li Yang's grandparents are over 80 years old, their bodies are still very strong.

The uncle's family is working outside, and they will only come back during the Spring Festival, Li Yang's father is the third, with a sister above and a younger sister below, among which only the sister-in-law is in Fengshui Town.

A big family doesn't have any big skills, and they all live a dull life.

Li Yang's father, Li Jianjun, is a contractor, the market was good a few years ago, and he thought he could make some money, but he just invested more than 100,000 yuan, and all of them lost, and now the family still owes a lot of money.

Fortunately, there is still some project in hand, and the money can be repaid after the completion of the work, and the family is not in a hurry.

"What, you resigned?" At night, Li Yang sat on the bed in his hometown, opposite his parents.

"Why don't you do it, do it well, then what can you do when you come back?" Her mother, Liu Yingrong, is a typical rural woman, hard-working, and her focus is on family all her life.

"I just can't do it anymore, as for what to do when I come back, I haven't thought about it yet", Li Yang didn't want to be unhappy with his parents, so he tried to ease it as much as possible.

"What about Zhao Min? Does she know about your return? Mother asked.

Zhao Min is Li Yang's girlfriend, and this Li Yang's parents know it.

Li Yang didn't speak, in fact, he came back this time because of Zhao Min.

Father Li smoked a cigarette and did not speak.

The mother seemed to understand something and didn't ask any more.

There was some silence between the three of them, as if they didn't know what to say.

"Have you thought it through?" Father Li asked

Li Yang nodded, "If I don't think it through, I won't come back."

"Okay, since you're back, let's rest for a while, as for what to do, think about it yourself, you're already twenty-six, and you'll be twenty-seven soon, no matter what you do, you have to bear it yourself, and your mother and I can't give you much."

Li Yang's nose was a little sour, and he snorted, but he didn't say anything.

When his parents went downstairs, Li Yang sat alone in the room, looking at the starry sky outside the window, silent.

He also didn't want to disappoint his parents and grandparents, in the countryside at this time, it was a thing worth boasting about to be able to have a promising descendant, and Li Yang used to be their pride.

There was nothing to say all night, and Li Yang got up early the next day.

Even though there was no air conditioning, even though it was a little hot, he felt that he slept very soundly.

Grandparents now make a little vegetable patch, which is all they have in life.

After breakfast, Li Yang went out for a walk.

Now I don't have to think about work, I don't have to think about anything, I can finally relax and rest for a few days.

The next day, Li Yang came to the town, where he had lived for several years, and there were a lot of things that he could not bring back at one time, so he mailed them, including a mountain bike with a complete set of outfits, which he had bought for a month's salary.

Li Yang stayed at home for three or four days, riding a bicycle to walk around.

In his spare time, he also began to think about his next plans.

He is almost twenty-seven years old, and now he has no job, although his parents don't say it, they may not be worried in their hearts.

After a few years of work, he himself has saved a sum of money, which he can use to do something, although it is only about 100,000, but in the small town, he can do a lot of things.
