In the past, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, most of the villagers would choose to rest for a few days to reward themselves for their hard work for a year. Even at this time, many villagers will bring their wives and children into the city to buy New Year's goods and walk around the city.

But this year's Fulin Village is much more lively than in previous years. Du Xingwu, who was the most idle in previous years, has become the busiest person in the village this year. After finishing the house of the east family, he had to be urged by the villagers of the west family.

Even the villagers, who had planned to stay home for a few days to rest, were now called in to carry out construction. A large number of building materials have also been transported to Fulin Island by cargo ships, and the whole village is also very lively.

Some women and children who have nothing to do will stay by the construction site and watch the excitement. With only one day left in the new year, Fulin Village finally has street lights. Looking at the street lights lit up at night, many villagers feel that the village is really changing.

Especially those old people, when they saw the energy-saving street lights lit up at night, they were also very relieved and said: "This light is very good, and I am not afraid of falling when I walk at night." I really didn't expect that Lin Lao would be able to see the village for such a day!"

To a certain extent, the praise of the old people is undoubtedly in solidarity with the decision of the village cadres. Even if some villagers think that the village cadres are spending money indiscriminately, they still seem happy to see the street lights on.

After all, as Xu Mingcheng said when he started work, each of them will grow old one day. If they can't move out of the village, after installing this street lamp, they will use it in the future like the elderly.

The most important thing is that with these street lights, you don't have to worry about any snakes suddenly popping out of the road in the summer. Whether it is the elderly, children, or even villagers, they can all enjoy the benefits brought by lighting.

As for the wharf that is still under construction, many villagers with fishing boats also feel that it should be repaired. Now that the wharf has been repaired, they don't have to worry about typhoons in the future, as the typhoon will blow away their fishing boats.

In the same smooth village road, with a large number of stones being re-pinched onto the stone road, many people feel much more comfortable walking. Even if it's raining, you don't have to worry about accidentally stepping into a puddle or mud puddle.

Even some villagers who have renovated their houses look at the water heaters and bathrooms they have paid for at their own expense, as well as the rooms that no one lives in for the time being. In addition to feeling that life is more convenient and comfortable, the children at home are undoubtedly the happiest.

In the eyes of these children, the renovated home seems to be no different from the home that adults say they moved into the city!

When Xu Liyan and Zhu Fen took two days off in advance, they planned to go back to the village for the New Year. Looking at the somewhat changed village, both of them felt very happy. Even before that, they gave Xu Haibao a hard beating.

The reason is that Xu Haibao spent 200,000 yuan to buy an abandoned homestead in the village, which seemed to the two to be completely messy. Seeing the enthusiasm of the villagers and praising them for their blessings, the two felt very relieved and proud.

Even when Xu Liyan came to the wharf construction site, Xu Mingcheng, who was organizing the villagers to work, said with a sigh: "Liyan, you have taught a good son! That kid's spirit is much greater than that of our generation." ”

"Brother Cheng, that kid is just like that, don't praise him. He didn't tell me about any of these things he did in the village. That kid is bold and wild, and he will really stay in the village in the future, and you can help watch it more. ”

Although he has moved into the city for some years, it is still for Xu Liyan. If his children get married in the future, he thinks it is best to return to the fishing village to retire. For him, living in a building in the city is not as comfortable as he imagined.

In contrast, staying in his old house, Xu Liyan felt more cordial. That old house was also built by himself and his father when he got married. Both children were born in this old house.

Returning to the roots is also Xu Liyan's wish. If I don't come back now, I also feel that the job in the city is good, and the couple can earn some money a year, which can always reduce some burden on their children. After all, the son is not married, and the daughter has not graduated!

This kind of situation is very common for many parents in China!

Compared with Xu Liyan, as soon as he returned to the village, he went to the place where the village was full of people. Zhu Fen, who returned to her hometown, looked at the completely changed old house, and also felt quite happy. Most importantly, the house is very clean.

After staying at home and cleaning up the room briefly, Zhu Fen also came to the third uncle's house not far from the door, and looked at the third aunt who was resting at home. As a sister-in-law, Zhu Fen is also very concerned about this cousin's daughter-in-law in the city.

Seeing the old house that had also been renovated, Zhu Fen also smiled and said, "Not bad! It seems that that the kid who has become Li Cheng finally knows how to live." Now that the house has been renovated, it looks much more comfortable. It's a little day that's more comfortable than staying in the city!"

"Sister-in-law, this is also thanks to Baowa, if it weren't for the last time he made a fortune from fishing with Baowa, it is estimated that he would not have been able to come up with so much money. However, the house is renovated and looks much brighter. ”

"Don't mention that stinky boy, buying the land in the deserted village, such a big thing, he took out the money without telling us. Such a big person, I don't know how to be thrifty at all. With 200,000 yuan, you can buy a house with a down payment in the city!"

Regarding Zhu Fen's complaints, the third aunt smiled and said: "Actually, I think Baowa, this kid has quite an idea! The last time he came back, many people in the village said that he had nothing to do all day long, and he wandered around the village every day.

But who knows, he has been thinking about attracting tourists when he returns to the village. If you really want to talk about it, Baowa, this child misses the old. Now when you go out, who doesn't give a thumbs up! His willingness to stay in the village is also a blessing for you.

If you really wait for the future when you and your eldest brother don't work and go back to the village to care for the elderly, and you don't have any children by your side, then you will definitely not be able to stay. Think about your baby, I'm looking at my star baby, it's not too far from home, but I just don't have time to come back.

It is said that raising children is to prevent old age, if it goes on like this, I would rather let Xingwa go back to the village. Not having a child by your side is not a problem after all. When we're really old, we can still take a boat to the city every day to find them?"

The situation that the third aunt said is actually very common in the village. In the early years, there were always people who said that they hoped that their children would be able to enter the city with a good income. However, many of the children who had a fortune to move to the city left their parents in the village.

It's not that those children are not filial, but many older parents don't want to go to the city at all. In the eyes of these old people, they would rather stay in the village, and go out to sea with a fishing boat to cast two nets, and feel comfortable with and without fish.

When I entered the city, I was locked in a cage-like building every day, and I couldn't talk to others. Stay in the village, both adults and children know each other. When you go out, you can always find someone to talk to. This kind of life is what many old people need.

It's just that many times, when the villagers see these old people, they can't see their children go home all year round, and they feel sorry for them. Children have a future, but there is no way to honor their parents. Is this kind of income really what the old people want?

Hearing the third aunt say this, although Mother Xu felt that there was some truth, she still said: "Don't mention that kid! I know that I came with his father today and ran around with the girl." During the time they went home, they didn't bother you less, right?"

"Sister-in-law, they are all a family, so why do you want to talk about two families? If there's nothing to do, Xiaoya's girl will come over to talk to me, I'm so happy!

Alas, it's all because I'm not angry, if I could still have a girl back then, I guess I'll wake up laughing in my dreams. I can't see a son a few times a year, I really don't know what the use of having this son is!"

In the mouths of many mothers, the child is the good of someone else's family after all. But if someone really provokes their children, these mothers will also let the people who hurt their children know that their children are the best in the world.

In fact, the brother and sister who are staying on Shrimp Island at the moment are not unwilling to pick up their parents. More Xu Haibao knows that no matter how much he says about some things, it is better to let his parents personally feel the atmosphere of the village at this moment.

Although this time, in the eyes of many people, including his parents, Xu Haibao was the wronged boss of 'many people who are stupid', but Xu Haibao believes that after his parents return to the village, he doesn't need to say anything, and the villagers will tell his parents that his money is worth it.

Parents are more distressed about 200,000, if parents know that there are still dozens of '200,000' hidden in the old house, they will not be angry. After all, the money was all earned by Xu Haibao, and the 200,000 yuan was not spent indiscriminately.

At least one thing Xu Haibao knows very well, that is, in the eyes of his parents, they also hope that Xu Haibao will not forget his roots. Even if the family moved into the city, they could not forget that the family came out of a fishing village.

Now I can help the village do something, and it won't hurt Xu Haibao, I believe my parents will also understand Xu Haibao's good intentions. With the food specially prepared in the past few days, Xu Haibao believes that this scolding should be able to avoid it.

After all, as a son, Xu Haibao didn't want his parents to be angry. But there are some things that parents who care too much about may not be able to listen to when they are explained by words alone. A little slowdown, it is more conducive to solving the internal conflict of the family!
