The township chief and the people of the village committee left, the police also left, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only this blood-red land that had been bulldozed by bulldozers.

The old man looked at this piece of red and yellow land with blank eyes, and it would not be long before the golden rape flowers could not be seen on both sides of the road, and everything would change from his field.

The old man knows very well that the township chief is gone, but it is a temporary compromise, today's things have made a big fuss, they are afraid that the impact will not be good, and they have no effect on both soft and hard, so they can only give up temporarily, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the planned land officially starts to start.

Sooner or later, he will not be able to hold on to this land, because he has no room for resistance, except for compromise, which is compromise, and at this moment his memory seems to return to that day twenty years ago.

The land he sat on was originally a dripping land, and every year when the flood season came, the next rain would let the flood blow once, and there was no land left for decades, only the old land that was as bare as rib bones remained.

After the contract was completed, he asked for this land, and he had to dig a ditch every year for 20 years, and finally served it like a piece of land, a good seed with straight ridges, but he didn't expect to meet the county planning.

Township cadres rushed to their homes every now and then to do ideological work and mobilization, and the loudspeakers at the forks of the village committee were noisy day and night, making people unable to sleep steadily.

In fact, before the county said that it would requisition the land, the township began to make a fuss, and each family planted as many crops as possible on their own land, and what the villagers were looking forward to was not the harvest of the crops, but the kind of compensation stipulated by the county, according to the number of crops in the farmland.

When this day really came, they happily went to the village committee and reported how many crops they had in their fields in order to obtain double the original value, and everyone signed a compensation agreement and received the money with a smile, but An Qiuyue's family was the only one who did not sign the compensation agreement and did not receive the money.

For this matter, the village committee and the cadres in the township went to their homes without less, but the old man just bit his mouth and refused to let go, if you want to say that the old man is for money, in fact, it is not, because the county once said that the compensation for the old man in private would be doubled, but the old man still did not agree.

The people in the village have always felt that the old man is shrewd, thinking that if his land does not sign the compensation agreement so early, he may be able to get twice the compensation, and he regrets it in his heart, and he is envious and jealous of the old man's shrewdness.

In the mobilization order in the township, there is another benefit, that is, when the plan is made here, they will be from the city, and they can be regarded as urban hukou, An Qiuyue's family will not sign the agreement, and the project will not be able to start, which means that their family is preventing everyone in this village from becoming an urban hukou.

So the people in the village talked about An Qiuyue's family a lot, and even when they met, they were like enemies, but what happened today made them understand one thing, the old man refused to give up this piece of land, not for money, but this made the villagers look down on the old man even more, and said in his heart What is the use of him guarding such a piece of land?

It seems that the people of the village will never be able to understand the old man's thoughts, just as Canglong can't understand him now.

However, the next old man's muttering made him understand, and even felt that he was holding on to this land, which was very valuable.

"The people in the city use these lands to build houses, but no one thinks about it, how can the villagers live without the land, and the villagers and the city people suffer when they deal with each other, which is the case for thousands of years. But the young people did not understand this principle, and as soon as they heard that the county was going to expropriate the land, they were so excited that they were like taking epilepsy, and they sold it for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan per acre of land, and then threw off their arms and went into the city. The old man shook his head and took out a plastic bag from his pocket.

The old man skillfully took out the tobacco and white paper, and soon rolled it into a cigarette and put it in his mouth, took out the match and burned it.

"30,000 per acre?" Canglong was a little surprised.

"With those crops, there may be about 40,000 yuan per acre." The old man smiled, a little sarcastic, "They never thought that they would spend the compensation money, and in the end there would be no land, what would they do to live in the future, as long as the villagers have land, they can be self-sufficient, but without land, they will become urban hukou as they wish, what can they get?" But what they have to face will be a completely unfamiliar life, and it will be difficult to even maintain food and clothing, and the only thing that the villagers can take out is the land and the things grown in the field, and the people in the city to grab jobs? What do they take to rob? ”

The old man's words revealed deep worry, but even if these worries were spoken, the villagers did not believe them, because no one wanted to let go of the city hukou, and continue to guard the land and continue to live this kind of farming life, although this is very steady.

"I can't hold it, I can't keep this old bone, and sooner or later I'm going to see Hades." The old man sighed while smoking a cigarette, while An Qiuyue sat on the side and did not speak, "But even if I die, I will die on this ground." ”

Few of the villagers of the older generation are educated, and even in the later generation, there are only a few educated people, and they are always the ones who suffer when they compete with the city people.

Therefore, they are keeping their duty and cultivating their fields, and the real hope is their generation, the generation that will change their fate.

However, An Qiuyue and most of their generation went to the city to work, and it is impossible to work for a lifetime, sooner or later they will have to return to their hometown, and when they have no land, how can they continue to survive? This was the question that the old man thought of, and at this moment, Canglong suddenly understood the old man's thoughts.

He looked from afar, and saw that the city was surrounding the countryside, constantly expanding in this direction, and when the day all the land was used to build houses, where would the food be produced?

Some people may say that they can learn from Europeans and establish a fast-growing food chain, but China is a large country with a large population, and such a fast-growing food chain is not suitable for China.

Everyone thinks that the living standards of Europeans are good, but most of the food they eat is fast-growing food, fast-growing vegetables, fast-growing chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, and everything that grows at a fast pace

What's the use of having a house even if you have it? What's the use of even having money? The more houses are built, the less arable land there is, and the less arable land there is, the less food is produced, which further contributes to the continuous rise of prices, and finally the villagers who go out to work suddenly find that the money they earn is becoming more and more unspent because the prices are getting higher and higher.

But now in China, everyone is struggling for a house, a car, and a city hukou, but they don't know that every time they buy a house, they will reduce their arable land, and finally raise prices to an extreme, so it will cause inflation, money is becoming less and less valuable, and they want more and more things.

Many people don't understand, and no one wants to understand, because the immediate interests are always more tempting than the so-called future, just like the villagers in Jiangkou Township, they are all looking forward to another life.

Canglong once said that China's future lies in the countryside, and farmers are China's future, but this future is ignored by most people, and even in the cities that people yearn for, they are discriminated against, and no one thinks that if everyone in China stops farming, and everyone uses their land to build houses, there is any country in the world that can feed a large country with a population of 1.3 billion.

The old man did not blame the villagers too much for their ignorance, because the whole country was immersed in such a dream, and even the world was immersed in such a ridiculous dream.

And the person who is just sober is the one who has no ability to change all this, just like the old man in front of him, he clearly knows what the future may be, but he can't change it, because everyone is asking him to change, let him adapt to everyone, and even use violence, but he doesn't give in.

In front of such a wise old man, what else can Canglong say? All he had was some superfluous sighs.

Canglong and An Qiuyue helped the old man to get into the car, and all the way back was full of blame and hostile eyes, these crazy people who also wanted a city hukou, didn't know that the people they were hostile to actually wanted to save them.

The old man's family is not rich, in addition to farming, he also opened a bicycle repair stall to make some small money, and later Canglong learned from An Qiuyue's mouth that all the money she spent going to school was accumulated by the old man with a pair of hands to repair bicycles for others, the old man's usual life is very frugal, as the old man himself said, if he has no land one day, just repairing bicycles, will definitely not be able to support An Qiuyue to go to school, and even food and clothing are a problem.

"Thank you, Mr. Cang." An Qiuyue was still expressionless, but Canglong could hear the sincerity of her thanks.

"If you go back to study, I'll try to help you solve the problem at hand." Canglong said calmly.

Hearing this, An Qiuyue's face showed surprise: "Really? ”

It's just that the surprise only lasted for a moment, Canglong is amazing, he is just a teacher, a teacher in the first middle school, and this matter is related to the planning of the entire Longyang County, what can a teacher do with this matter?

"You don't need to comfort me like this, there are many things in this world that you and I can't change." An Qiuyue shook her head, her face was full of deep disappointment and helplessness, if there were other emotions, then it was hatred for this world.

"Yes, there are many things that we can't change by ourselves, and we can only helplessly or sigh." Canglong looked at him, paused and said, "Since we can't change this world, what we can do may be to change our attitude towards this world, hatred can't solve any problems, it will only make you carry a heavy burden, and sooner or later this burden will crush you." ”

"Do you want to face it all with a smile?" An Qiuyue felt a little incredible.

"Laughing at life, hating life is good, smiling doesn't need any reason, and it won't bring you any baggage, it will keep you awake at all times and do what you can better." Canglong said calmly, "And complaining and hatred will only make you lost, and in the end you can't do anything, even what you can do, you can't do it." ”

An Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "But I can't do it!" ”
