Because the road section to grandma's house is asphalted, and it is in disrepair, the road condition is very poor, although Fan Wei's car is high-end, but for such a pothole-ridden reason, the speed is naturally still not up. Fan Wei drove at a speed of thirty or forty yards on the 60-kilometer road, and it was estimated that it would take at least more than an hour to reach his grandmother's house.

Wu Shi wore brown sunglasses and sat in the passenger seat, facing the window of the car, admiring the beautiful mountain scenery all the way, feeling the fresh air blowing into the car, and couldn't help but feel very comfortable. Fan Wei's mother was a little anxious, always asking when Fan Wei would arrive. Obviously, she didn't go home for a few years, and she missed her hometown very much.

In fact, Fan Wei also wanted to go to his grandmother's house earlier, but unfortunately this road was too uncompetitive. In addition, there were six people in the car, so of course he had to drive carefully. The Phaeton had a low chassis, and he didn't want to be bumped. So it was originally a straight road, but it turned out to be walking around many small potholes, and the speed slowed down even more.

Aunt Li on the side looked at the mountains and forests full of autumn charm in the vicinity, and couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but here hasn't changed at all......"

"It's not, hey, I really miss my mother and my father, this time I finally have the ability to go to the house to see it." When Fan Wei's mother said this, her eyes were a little sad and said, "After two years, I don't know if the village has changed much." ”

Aunt Li nodded embarrassedly, her eyes were a little red, "I guess there is no change, the family life is very hard, if it weren't for my help, the sons and daughters of several younger siblings would almost not be able to read, and I don't know when this kind of day will be the end." You say that the gap between people and people is so big? Rich people can spend tens of thousands of dollars in one night, while poor families don't know if they can earn so much in a year. ”

"But no, to be honest, if it weren't for my family's Fan Wei this time, I wouldn't dare to go back." Fan Wei's mother's eyes were also red, and she choked up a little, "Listening to the words behind my mother's family, sometimes it's really a bit unpleasant." ”

"Hey......" Aunt Li sighed lightly, and it seemed that she was not in a very good mood.

"Aunt Li, Mom, you don't have to sigh for a long time, now that your life is better, look at what those long-tongued women in the village dare to say." Fan Wei drove the car and persuaded, "Do you know why the people in the mountains are so poor? Hey, natural conditions are the main factor, but the feudal mentality in the village is also one of the reasons. Aunt Li, you can go back and show off now, so that the guys who said bad things about you back then can have a long experience. ”

"Fan Wei, you can't say this, if you have money, you show off, then you won't be a nouveau riche? The people in the village are all related, and they all have the same bloodline inside and outside, and I believe that after two years, things will fade. Aunt Li retorted dissatisfiedly, "This village is feudal, but feudalism is a habit that has been cultivated since ancient times, what can be done." ”

When Fan Wei heard Aunt Li's words, he didn't say anything. In fact, my grandmother and grandfather have been very good to their family over the years, and they often bring a lot of local products to their mother in such a poor situation, although they are not worth much, but they are really a charcoal in the snow when they are the poorest in the family. Just because of this, Fan Wei was full of good feelings for his grandmother and grandfather. On the contrary, the aunts and uncles in the family are really hateful, it turns out that when the parents were not divorced, they begged to go to the house to ask their father to do things, and then as soon as the parents divorced, these relatives disappeared as if they had disappeared. Later, the family was too poor, and his mother wanted to ask his relatives to borrow some money for him to study, but except for his aunt, no one was willing to take care of his mother, and he was indeed a little too snobbish.

"Sister, have you called your mother in the village?" The aunt seemed to think of something at this time, turned to Fan Wei's mother and asked, "Mom and Dad know that you are going back to the village, right?" ”

"No, you can just meet at home. I'm afraid that if I call my parents, they will definitely spend money to prepare meals, which is not good. Fan Wei's mother sighed, "They have worked hard all their lives, and I don't have the face to let them worry about us." ”

Auntie nodded in agreement, "I think so too, we finally went back, if they kill chickens and cook well, wouldn't it be an additional burden on them, so I didn't dare to fight." ”

Wu Shi actually heard Fan Wei talk about some of his family's relatives and history as early as when he was in Jiangde City, and naturally understood what Fan Wei's mother and aunt meant. For a city dweller, a meal may seem like nothing at all, but in a truly poor place, cooking a good meal is really a relatively large expense. Fan Wei's grandparents have no pension, and they all rely on the relief of their children to live. This time, Fan Wei went to visit the second elder, and his mother had repeatedly told him not to forget to give his grandparents a big red envelope after going to the village.

This red envelope Fan Wei asked Wu Shi to play, she had already bought the red envelope and stuffed the money in the red envelope. Originally, she wanted to pack 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, but this red envelope was only so big that it could barely hold 20,000 yuan, so Fan Wei let her put the money in it.

Time passed bit by bit in some memories and emotional chatter of everyone, and Fan Wei finally drove the car to Yejia Town an hour later. Fan Wei's grandmother's village is less than 20 minutes' drive from Yejia Town, and arriving in Yejia Town means that you are finally in the village.

After entering Yejia Town along the dirt-black road, the dilapidated asphalt road finally got a little better and turned into a cement road. Although the concrete road is still dilapidated and old, at least the car drives on it a lot more smoothly.

After bypassing a large wooden gate-type signboard with three big characters written on it, Fan Wei and his car finally entered the town of Yejia Town. It is said to be a small town, but in fact, the buildings in this Yejia town are basically built twenty or thirty years ago, and many of them are still mud houses made of mud and stone. There were yellow dogs barking on the side of the road, and a few local chickens were swaying around the roadside to feed, completely ignoring the cars driving around. It's a dirty old scene in the countryside.

Wu Shi saw this dilapidated town, and finally showed a trace of bitterness and said, "I finally understand what a gap is now." Although Ping'an County is not big, it at least feels like a small town, but this place is a typical representative of poor rural areas......"

"Of course, this is the mountainous area, and the poorest of them are the mountainous areas. Don't you know? Ping'an County is the lowest poverty-stricken county in the province. The reason why Ping'an County still seems to have a little bit of urbanization is entirely because Ping'an County made its fortune from tourism, so it is natural to pay attention to the image, and the construction is of course more trendy. And this kind of Yejia town is the real representative of the county, in Ping'an County, there are more than a dozen such towns, and now you finally understand why I said that the gap between the rural areas of Ping'an County and the county seat is very large, right? Fan Wei was not surprised at all by Wu Shi's emotion, if there is the county with the largest gap between the rich and the poor in the province, it must be Ping'an County.

Because here, the GDP of the county accounts for almost half of the county, and the income of more than a dozen towns and villages in one county is worth it, which shows what kind of shocking level of poverty has reached here.

In fact, the leaders of the county government do not want to change, but it is indeed difficult to change. What does Ping'an County want, if you want land, you have to blow up the mountains, you want funds, the geographical location is very poor, and you want to grow fields and grow grain? Let's raze the rolling mountains to the ground. It is no exaggeration to say that if Ping'an County wants to develop, it must develop tourism, so the county's decision to develop tourism is indeed a great thing for the county.

Only when the county's financial revenue goes up, can it better invest in the construction of the rural towns below. Relying on the current appearance of this kind of small town like a rural village, let alone attracting investment, even if the investment delegation comes, it has to be scared back by the harsh environment here. Narrow roads, dirty environments, dilapidated and outdated planning, to change these, all need financial support from the government, to put it bluntly, it needs money. Without money, even if you rack your brains, you can't change everything here.
