After a few years, the village is becoming more and more dilapidated, and the young people are busy building new homes outside, and there is no need to repair this old home, which is already about to be abandoned, and the mottled color has become stronger after years of wind and rain.

Every year, one or two families will move out of their new homes, making the already sparsely populated Creek Village even more lonely. After Zhou Mo entered the village, he saw that many homes had been emptied, and the courtyard walls were overgrown with weeds, and the scenery was comparable to a haunted house in a deserted village.

Walking along the big stone road in my memory, I saw many children playing together along the way. They are all left in their homes by adults, some of them are taken away by their parents after the summer vacation, and some of them stay to continue their education. There is no primary school in the village, and every day there will be a primary three wheels who come in and pull them to the next town to go to school, and then pull them back in the afternoon.

The old people sat on the side and looked at the children, chattering without saying a word, they were very curious about the young people who suddenly entered the village, and they couldn't stop looking at Zhou Mo, guessing which child came back. One of the old men seemed to recognize Zhou Mo, and walked over and asked, "It's Teacher Zhou's son, right?" ”

There used to be a primary school in the village, and my father worked as a teacher in it, but then the school couldn't be run, so my father returned to the city as an ordinary clerk, but the old people in the village still kept shouting 'Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou'.

Zhou Mo nodded, carefully filtered in his mind, and then remembered the identity of the old man in front of him, the old village chief Zhou Jianguo, Zhou Mo used to call him Jianye. His son, who was out on business, asked him to live in the city with him several times, but the old man insisted on not going, presumably because he wanted to accompany the village until the last moment.

Seeing the young man coming back, Jian Ye seemed very happy, took Zhou Mo all the way to the house, shouted a few times outside the wall, and the father came out of the inner room.

Seeing Zhou Mo, Zhou's father's face darkened, the stinky boy did things to hide from his family, and he had to train him well. When Jian Ye looked at Teacher Zhou's face, he thought that the child had caused some trouble outside, so he didn't wait to open his mouth and protected Zhou Mo and said, "Big nephew, it's okay for the child to be naughty, don't get angry." ”

Dad Zhou smiled bitterly, where is this kid naughty, now even the mayor has to respectfully call Mr. Zhou, and those old artists with half a hundred flowers, they are all 'Teacher Zhou' when they open and close, this title is much more noble than their own elementary school teacher.

"Okay, Uncle Jian, this kid's matter is very complicated, come into the house and talk about it together. It just so happened that my mother-in-law made a table of good dishes, and Uncle Jian and we had a drink. ”

Jian Ye is confused, did he do something wrong or did something good? Why do you want to scold for a while, and cook for a while, so I asked Zhou Mo: "I said Mowa, what did you do?" ”

Zhou Mo could only smile bitterly, his father must have blamed himself for hiding it for so long, but when his mother and Jian Ye were there, it would be fine.

As Zhou Mo expected, Xi Zhou's father stopped saying anything after complaining twice, while Jian Ye was dumbfounded. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old baby can already go abroad to compete and win the grand prize, which is a face-saving thing.

Creek Village finally has a character.

Especially the pennant and award certificate issued by the government, which is much more valuable to Jianye than any broken award, touching the gold words on the red pennant with a fascinated face: "Good boy, good boy, have a big future." It's a pity that if I had come out a few years earlier, maybe the village wouldn't be what it is now. ”

After two glasses of white wine, Jian Ye began to stare at him. He has a deep affection for the village, so he has never been able to accept the current situation, and has always believed that his own incompetence is the result.

Zhou Mo walked around the village after eating, and he couldn't see a few households at dinner time, he really didn't expect to face such a situation.

Once it becomes an abandoned village, won't your own pastoral life have to be re-planned? People are forward-looking and can't expect others to enjoy rural life as much as they do, so population loss is inevitable unless someone is willing to make a big effort to reinvent it......

Zhou Mo didn't want to do it, because returning to the countryside was to get quiet, and it would take a lot of energy to activate the economic vitality of this village, and there would be no less trouble during the period. Thinking of this, the figure of Yuwa Guan Quansheng emerged, he is a person who is willing to devote his heart and soul to saving his hometown.

It's very respectable, but it's a pity that it's not a village.

Creek Village is getting smaller and smaller, and the creek was still in the village when it was a few years ago, and now it is still a long way to go out of the village. Walking on the stream, see the rare natural small fish flickering in the water, throw a small stone casually, and startle a few fishing kingfishers, which is very wild.

"Mozi? How did you end up here? ”

With an exclamatory voice, Zhou Mo felt very familiar, so he turned his head to look and saw a familiar figure - a fish baby. In an inexplicable situation, he blurted out the same question as him: "Why are you here?" ”

"This is my hometown...... You're not from Xicun too, are you? ”

Zhou Mo nodded in surprise, how could things in the world be so coincidental? Could it be that there is really any arrangement in the underworld? Do you want to help yourself achieve your desire to return to the countryside? After thinking about it, no, he has seen Yuwa's household registration, and he is definitely not from Xicun, or even from a province.

Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed for a while, and then elaborated on the reason.

It turned out that Yuwa's father was originally from Xicun, but because he was too poor, he took Xiaoyuwa to a wealthy family in other places. However, Yuwa has never forgotten her dead mother and the village, and has no interest in her father's career, so she has been planning to return home.

This summer, he came to inspect the environment, and just now he went up the mountain mainly to record the soil and vegetation, not only the mountain, but also the surrounding environment, he wanted to go through it carefully, and collect as much complete information as possible, so that he could carry out targeted development.

"Mozi, that's great! Together, you and I will definitely be able to revive this village! ”

Yuwa was very happy because he found the first big donor. The development momentum of 335 dormitory company is very good, as long as there are no accidents, it can definitely become a first-class enterprise when it graduates. Zhou Mo, the largest shareholder, must have made a lot of money, and there will be no problem if he takes out a little bit to invest in his hometown.

Zhou Mo is also very happy, this is really if he wants to sleep, someone will send a pillow, the fish baby will spend a lot of effort to protect this village, he can just sit back and enjoy the results, it is really in line with his principle of doing things.

The two talked and laughed, and made a plan to resurrect the village. Yuwa was already very familiar with the village, took Zhou Mo to the top of the mountain, overlooked the entire village, and then introduced his future plans to Zhou Mo with a look of pointing out the country.

Tourism is definitely not going to happen, there are no famous mountains and rivers at all, otherwise there would not be no developers here for so many years. However, it can be made into a recreational farm, and the grasslands, small lakes, slopes, and groves have not been destroyed, and the conditions are all in place.

Yuwa's plan is very much in line with Zhou Mo's appetite, because such a plan will not be as noisy as a city in the future, so he immediately said: "Yuwa, you let it go, I will do my best to support it." ”

Zhou Mo has no obsession with money, just enough to spend, in order to live an ideal life in his heart, even if he spends more money, he will not hesitate.
