Chapter 201: The Village in Memory
Yuan Yi walked out of the training base and walked towards the small village not far away with his memory.
As soon as I entered the village, I noticed that it was sparsely populated, and the scene that was quite lively when I was a child no longer exists.
Even every household, it has become more and more depressed.
Yuan Yi had just taken two steps forward, and suddenly a somewhat old voice came from under the tree not far away.
"Yuan Yi? Is that you? β
When he heard the voice, he turned his head slowly, and saw an old woman sitting under a tree in the shade.
Yuan Yi's eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to walk over and say, "Grandma Li! It's been a long time. β
"It's been a long time! Since your grandfather died, you have also gone to work in the city, and you really haven't been back for many years, how are you doing outside? Is it bitter? Tired? β
Looking at the people in his memories when he was a child, Yuan Yi's heart felt a burst of joy for no reason.
It seems that the life of my childhood has come back to me again.
Grandma Li lives in the east of the village, and although she is some distance from her old house, she did not give herself food when she was a child.
After all, since the death of his parents, his grandfather often travels far away, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals.
Grandma Li stood up tremblingly, with a crutch in her hand: "You kid really hasn't been back for a long time, wait a minute, Grandma Li's house will cook you the meal you like." β
"Grandma Li doesn't need it...... I'll definitely go to your house to see you another day, but I'll have to go back to school later, and it's easy to get punished if I go back late. β
"Huh? School? Could it be that training base not far away? Then you will have college students come here for military training from time to time, have you become an instructor of military training now? You're really getting better and better. β
Grandma Li had a kind look on her face, and she also praised Yuan Yi's words from the bottom of her heart.
However, Yuan Yi shook his head gently: "I am now studying at Yenching University, and I am also a student who wants military training. β
"Huh? You're a college student now? Ok, good, good! You're really the most talented kid in our village right now! Your grandfather knows and can rest assured. β
Grandma Li was so happy that she took Yuan Yi's hand and walked in the direction of her home, not giving him any chance to refuse at all.
Along the way, I naturally met my old neighbors in the village, but after not seeing each other over the years, they have become more and more old.
Except for a few little dolls playing with mud on the side of the road, I didn't even see a few young adults.
Yuan couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and asked Grandma Li on the side with some confusion.
"What about the young people in the village? I don't think I saw a few along the way. β
"Hey...... Now young people who don't want to go into town? Even if it's a part-time job, it's okay, at least it's better than farming here! β
"Did they all go out to work?"
"yes...... There are fewer and fewer people in this village now! The older generation also has feelings because they live here, so they don't want to move away, or the young ones have children in other places, and send the little dolls over to be taken care of by grandparents...... Now our village has long since lost its former liveliness. β
When Grandma Li said this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and there was a look of loneliness on her face.
Yuan Yi followed her, listening to these past matters, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while.
"In fact, the geographical location of our small village is also very good, if it can be developed into a tourist villa, it can also have a good economic development, why do young people have to go out one by one?"
Yuan Yi asked with some incomprehension.
However, Grandma Li shook her head gently: "Isn't it because our old bones are already old?" The village chief was unable to attract investment...... So people have given up on this idea, and how long will our generation live? As long as you can know that the children in the house are safe outside. β
There was a loneliness in her voice that couldn't be hidden.
When Yuan Yi heard this, the palms hanging on both sides couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
"Grandma Li...... Why don't you take me to the village chief? I have something I want to talk to him about, so I won't go to your house yet. β
"What are you looking for the village chief? In that case, I'll take you there. β
Although Grandma Li had some doubts in her heart, she still took Yuan Yi in the direction of the village chief's house.
For the old village chief of this village, Yuan Yi still has a lot of memory.
After all, when I was a child, I grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and even the old village chief took him very well.
Looking at the familiar courtyard, Yuan Yi followed Grandma Li's steps and walked inside.
The old village chief heard the sound from the yard, and got up from the kang with some confusion, and just sat up at a glance when he saw Grandma Li and Yuan Yi walking in from outside.
"Old village chief! Look at who this is? β
Grandma Li said with a smile.
The old village chief landed on Yuan Yi's body with a somewhat cloudy gaze, and after looking at it for a long time, it suddenly lit up.
"It turned out to be Yuan Yi, your kid is back! I thought you'd never come back since your grandfather died. β
"How so? Anyway, this is the place where I was born and raised...... If it weren't for the original Baijia Rice, there would be no me today. β
The corners of Yuan Yi's mouth hooked up a faint smile.
The villagers in this village are all very simple, and everyone has a kind heart.
In the past, because of his lack of ability, he could only barely make ends meet, and there was no way to do something for the village.
But it's no longer the same......
Now I can finally contribute to this village.
The old village chief's eyes couldn't help but look back and forth on Yuan Yi's body, and finally nodded with great satisfaction.
"You kid seems to have a good life, but he's more handsome than before! Even the clothes look so good. β
Hearing this compliment, Grandma Li on the side also nodded again and again.
"I don't know what happened to that little granddaughter in my family, if you don't find a boyfriend, you two will give it a try?"
The old man's favorite thing is to pull the red line.
But when Yuan Yi heard these words, he shook his head again and again.
"That's not necessary, I now have a fiancΓ©e and will be getting married early next month...... I'll bring her back and see you when the time comes. β
