I haven't been home for more than half a year.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Zhiyou thought.

He hasn't gone back to see it in the past six months, isn't it the cowardice in his heart?

As a rural child, he was instilled with the concept of "reading to change destiny" when he was a child.

He made it out of the mountains, but when he arrived in the city, he found that everything was not as good as he had imagined.

The road here is wide, but the hearts of people are narrow.

The wages here are high, but the life is poor.

Many people are like him, who work in the tens of thousands of dollars outside, but their lives are no better than those of the sanitation workers on the street.

They have to raise a house, a car, a big meal in front of people, and instant noodles for several days later.

They would rather stay out and start a business than return to their hometown.

If it weren't for the system, the trip home might have been extended indefinitely.

But before that, he had to go to the flower and bird market and buy a sapling.

This is the custom of their village, and it is even written into the ancestral teachings.

Every villager who goes out must bring at least one sapling and plant it on the back mountain.

It is said that in the past, the back mountain was not as densely forested as it is now, and in the past, the back mountain was bare with sand and gravel, and there was no greenery at all, and landslides and mudslides occurred from time to time.

It's not that the people in the village didn't plant trees on the back mountain, but that the trees planted, whether they were seedlings or big trees that grew very well, would not survive as long as they were transplanted to the back mountain.

In the end, this problem was solved by the ancestor of their Yang family, Yang, who is rumored to be a strange person who understands feng shui, and it is necessary to change the general trend of mountains and rivers to avoid the recurrence of natural disasters.

The speed of the high-speed rail is very fast, seven or eight hours by car, and it will arrive at the county seat of PY County.

Yang Zhi was transferred to the bus from the Liuhua Bus Terminal in PY County, and when he first arrived at the entrance of his village, Yang Zhi's father, Yang Zhao, was already sitting on a motorcycle waiting.

Yang Zhi went home lightly this time and didn't bring any luggage, but he didn't bring any supplements like bird's nest and cordyceps, so he inevitably took a roll of the eyes from Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhi's house is a two-story cement house near the river, although there is no decoration on the outside, and the stone bricks are exposed, but compared with other houses in the village, it is still a lot more magnificent, which is obviously inseparable from the hard work of Yang Zhi's parents.

When I got home, it was dinner time, Li Yijuan was opening up in the kitchen, and when she saw the big bag in Yang Zhi's hand, her attitude was the same as Yang Zhao's.

"You kid, you have food and clothing at home, what are you doing at such a cost. ”

Yang Zhi wanted to take a hand, but was blasted out by Li Yijuan.

"Go out, go and wash your hands, haven't you heard Confucius say 'a gentleman cooks far away'?"

Li Yijuan's Chinese teacher's shelf came out, full of cultural atmosphere, and even Yang Zhi had to back down.

Of course, Mencius's original words were: "A gentleman cannot bear to see the life of an animal or beast, and he cannot bear to eat its flesh when he hears its voice." It is a gentleman who cooks far away. ”

The real meaning of this sentence is that a gentleman cannot bear to see animals and beasts alive and cheerful, and he cannot bear to eat their flesh when he hears them cry and scream. Because of this, a gentleman should keep the kitchen far away from him.

Yang Zhi withdrew from the kitchen in a daze, and before his buttocks were hot, a guest came to visit.

The countryside is not as good as the city, and as soon as you get home, the door will be closed.

The person who came was Yang Guicai, the old secretary of the village, who was a little related to Yang Zhi's family.

"Yang Zhi is back. ”

Yang Guicai only saw Yang Zhi when he entered the door, and said a very perfunctory sentence politely, and went straight to the point without waiting for Yang Zhi to return the gift.

"Where's your dad?"

Yang Zhi is actually not interested in this grandfather's Yang Guicai.

Could it be that the election of village cadres is going to be renewed?

Usually only at this time, he will come to the door, and usually, there is no shadow at all.

Yang Zhao obviously heard the movement, lifted the curtain and walked out of the kitchen.

It is rare that Yang Zhi actually saw a trace of impatience on the face of his honest father.

I don't know what's going on, I actually let him be so unkind to see Yang Guicai.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Guicai opened his mouth, he had the meaning of Xingshi asking for guilt.

"Yang Zhao, what are you doing, even if you don't support this resolution of the village leadership team, you can't take the lead in confrontation. ”

Yang Zhao frowned, but he said unhurriedly: "Village Chief Yang, where are you talking about this, when did I take the lead in the confrontation." ”

"Then why did Yang Dali, the leader of the first group, Yang Shujiang, the leader of the second group, and Yang Guo, the leader of the third group, all lead their team members to collectively oppose it, but I heard that these three people came to your house the night before yesterday to ask for advice. ”

Yang Guicai felt that he was too aggrieved as the village chief, and there was no electrician who spoke at a critical time.

"I'm just telling the truth, the forest in the back mountain has taken us several generations of hard work to grow to that scale, and now I say that it will be cut, and I am the first to disagree, what if there is a mudslide after heavy rain, no one can afford this responsibility.

Also, Zu Xun is there, as a descendant of the Yang family, I can't do this kind of rebellious thing!"

Yang Guicai almost didn't catch his breath, it didn't work, so he could only say bitterly.

"Okay, you Yang Zhao, what age are you, and you still use Zu Xun to press me, Zu Xun can be used as food? I'm not here for this village, I want to focus on the overall situation, you say, how many people in our village are like your family, who are capable of building houses.

Besides, the tree will grow after it is cut down and replanted, and then the money will be divided and some saplings will be bought. ”

Yang Guicai's words choked Yang Zhao, but it was the truth.

Yangjia Village is located in a remote area, and the transportation is inconvenient, and the land in the back mountain is the only collective asset that Yangjia Village can handle.

Seeing that Yang Zhao was silent, Yang Guicai set his eyes on Yang Zhi's body, and he decided to add another fire to Yang Zhao.

"Yang Zhi, you are one of the few college students in our village, you can be fair,"

No matter how Yang Zhi says, he has seen the world, how can he not be like his father, and he doesn't want to take it if he has money.

The countryside attaches great importance to the respect and inferiority of the elders and the young, so Yang Zhi has not spoken, and listened quietly on the side, the "team leader" mentioned by Yang Guicai is the production system inherited from the commune.

Although Yang Zhao did not seek a half-official position in the village, it was precisely because of this that when he encountered something difficult to choose, the people in the village were more willing to ask for his opinion, after all, he could afford a college student, and he was definitely the number one cultural person in the village.

"Village Chief Yang, my opinion is the same as my father's, this gold and silver mountain is not as good as the green waters and green mountains in front of you, you are doing this to cut off the future generations of future generations. ”
