Chapter 319, the tragedy of two packets of biscuits
played with the children for a day in the small city of June Fourth, and the next day, Zhou Jimin returned to the capital with Ding Qiunan and Zhou Shuqing.
Xu Ning and Little Fat Pig also went back with them.
The two children were too young, one was a little over a year old, and the other was only seven or eight months old, so they were not suitable to stay in the town.
On the contrary, it was the twin sisters Xiaojing and Xiaowan, crying and not wanting to go back, and wanted to stay with their brothers and sisters.
It's not that they can take care of themselves.
The responsibility of taking care of them is mainly handed over to the three of them from Little Goldfish and Pan Di.
Xiaoxian and Xiaoyi are still young, and it is okay to take care of themselves, but it is very difficult to take care of Xiaowan Xiaojing.
However, the third and fourth children are also there, so there is no big problem.
Not long after arriving in the capital, Zhou Shuqing, who was in the living room, received a call.
It was Xing Yicheng who called, saying that they had found out that Xu Yiming had been sent to the south, in a small mountainous area in the middle.
The central provinces are populated and the small villages in the mountains are very poor and backward.
If you go to such a place, even if you don't starve to death, poverty and backwardness are enough to make people crazy.
Receiving this news, Zhou Shuqing was both excited and worried.
She told the news to Zhou Jimin, who was busy in the study, and after hearing the news, the latter smiled.
"Xiaoqing, you don't have to worry, if the news is accurate, I'll take Yiming home for dinner tonight."
He has this self-confidence, after all, the six-five supersonic plane, too fast.
That is, he is not sure if the message is accurate.
And, most importantly, Ding Qiunan and Zhou Shuqing stayed at home, and he was not very relieved.
After thinking about it, he felt that it would be safer to bring the two of them back to the small city of June Fourth.
Whether it is to send them to the father-in-law's house, or to Nanluoguxiang, it is not very safe.
However, it was still a little bad to send it back to the small city of June Fourth, and after thinking about it, he drove directly, took Zhou Shuqing's mother and daughter and the little fat pig, and then went to Union Hospital, picked up Ding Qiunan and left the capital.
On the small island in the south, after he put Ding Qiunan and Zhou Shuqing in the Repulse Bay villa, he went to the central provinces to find Xu Yiming.
Compared with the capital, the scale of young people in the south going to the countryside is very large.
It is undeniable that the appearance of Zhou Jimin has made a lot of changes between this world and the original time and space.
At least there are not so many unemployed young people in Beijing.
If it weren't for the shutdown of some factories and the reduction of production, it can be said that there would be no unemployed people in the capital at all.
But the mainland is too big, and Zhou Jimin has only one person, and he can't change all this.
In addition to the central provinces, not to mention the cities, even the county towns are also very poor and backward.
Zhou Jimin followed the information given by Lao Xing and accurately came to the remote area of Xinsha Town.
Nearby is a deserted flat land, which should have been uncultivated for a long time, causing the fields to be overgrown with weeds.
There are many small hills and small basins here, but the so-called basins are actually low-lying areas that have not been developed.
After the plane landed, the weeds were blown around.
Taking out a drone from the space, he sat in the plane, remotely controlled the drone, and looked around to check the terrain.
"It's really deserted here."
Footage from the drone showed that there were no people within two kilometers of the vicinity.
If he hadn't carried a signal transmitter, the drone wouldn't have been able to fly that far, let alone see the drone's footage clearly.
If it's a satellite, the signal will be stronger.
After flying about three or four kilometers, I could finally see someone.
Zhou Jimin did not waste time, directly controlled the drone to return, then put away the drone and supersonic plane, and walked straight to the place where there were people.
But, within a few steps, he frowned.
There's no way, let's summon the big cat in the space to hurry.
The black tiger is very large, and sitting on the black tiger's back, he can avoid the trouble of opening the way.
At a distance of several kilometers, the Black Tiger quickly reached its destination.
When he was about to come to a place where there were people, he sent the black tiger back to space, and then came to the path himself.
"Hello comrades, where is this place? I'm a postman from the province, and I want to go to your Fenghuang Village in Xinsha Town......"
Xu Yiming was sent to this place, and it should have been a while since he was sent over.
However, starting from the capital, we came to this small mountain village.
With today's means of transportation, don't think about it for a week.
Not to mention the rest, just taking the train will take two or three days on the road.
Then enter the county seat, from the county seat to Xinsha Town, these journeys, it is estimated that most of these journeys are horse-drawn carriages.
From Xinsha Town to Fenghuang Village, it is estimated that you can only walk forward.
After all, it's so poor here, how can there be a horse-drawn cart and an ox-cart?
The two peasants standing not far from Zhou Jimin were skinny and their clothes were very shabby, but they were washed white, and their clothes were stained with some dust, soaked with sweat, and they looked even more tattered.
Seeing that Zhou Jimin was dressed appropriately, wearing a certain army green hat and carrying a crossbody bag, the two farmers were very restrained.
Unfortunately, the two peasants did not understand him at all, because they did not understand Mandarin.
But Zhou Jimin couldn't understand the dialect spoken by the other party, which made people anxious.
After all the calculations, he didn't calculate that the communication was poor because of language problems.
Seeing this, Zhou Jimin had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
Walking along the path and away from the two peasants, he took out his drone again and began to survey the terrain.
After flying for about three or four kilometers, I finally saw a slightly larger basin with rice fields and other crops, as well as corn, vegetable gardens, and so on.
So, Zhou Jimin hurriedly put away the drone and went straight to that place.
After coming to the place, Zhou Jimin asked the peasants again, but unfortunately, he still couldn't understand and still couldn't communicate.
It wasn't until a teenager who had gone to school came out of the cornfield that he understood Zhou Jimin's words.
"When you go to Phoenix Village, you go straight along the path, climb over two small hills, and walk about seven or eight kilometers to get there."
Hearing the young man's answer, Zhou Jimin was surprised.
The other party had a thick accent, but he still understood.
The distance of seven or eight kilometers from here surprised him, but he didn't expect that Phoenix Village was not too far from the landing point of the plane.
After all, Xinsha Town is also quite big, and he just happened to fall on the territory of Xinsha Town, otherwise, if the farmers don't know much about Xinsha Town, then he would still work in vain.
"Thank you, these two packs of cookies are for you, thank you."
He pulled out two packets of biscuits from his crossbody bag, homemade by himself, wrapped in oiled paper.
"No, no." The young man was quite polite, but he couldn't excuse Zhou Jimin and was forced to catch it.
"Thank you, thank you."
As soon as the young man's hand sank, he knew that the biscuits given by Zhou Jimin were not light, and his heart was suddenly happy.
"You're welcome, goodbye."
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Jimin turned around and continued along the path, and soon disappeared.
He left, but for the boy and the other villagers, the matter was not over.
The villagers wanted to know what the biscuits in the boy's hand tasted like, so they asked the boy to open them and look at them.
But the boy shook his head and ran home with the biscuits.
This made the villagers very unhappy, but they couldn't do anything.
Who let those two packets of biscuits be exchanged for the boy, and the villagers don't know what it is.
They don't know Mandarin and have never left the mountain village, so how do they know what Mandarin is?
Even if their children have been to a primary school more than a dozen kilometers away, the primary school teachers still teach in their local dialect, not Mandarin at all.
Only when I went to the fifth or sixth grade in the town did the school teacher teach in Mandarin.
When the boy returned home, his younger siblings gathered around him.
He has a large family, even if he is a child of seven or eight years old, he is wearing open crotch pants and does not even have clothes.
There's no way, it's just one word, poor.
Money and cloth tickets are needed to buy clothes, and for children in the mountains, it is already good to be able to survive, don't think about anything to eat or have clothes to wear.
"See what I've brought you? It's a cookie, eat it. ”
The five younger siblings swarmed around their brother, looking at the oiled paper that had been opened, revealing the sweet biscuits inside, and they all swallowed.
It's so fragrant!
For them, the biscuits in front of them are the best food, and they have never eaten this kind of food before.
Just when a few little ones reached out to grab the biscuits and put them in their mouths, the eldest sister suddenly spoke:
"Save some for Mom and Dad, don't finish eating."
The young man said, "Don't be afraid, I still have a pack here, and when my parents come back, we will eat this pack again." ”
As soon as he heard this, the house suddenly fell into a sea of joy.
It's just a packet of biscuits, and for a hungry child, three times five divided by two, and swallowed into the stomach.
Despite being sweet and tasty, they are hungrier and eat faster.
The youngest sister almost choked.
It wasn't until she was poured a sip of water by her brother that she recovered.
After the children had finished eating, the neighbor's children also came.
These neighbors are all villagers who have met Zhou Jimin before, and they came to the boy's house just to think about whether they can get a piece of the pie.
As a result, they only saw the oiled paper that had been licked clean by the teenagers.
"Tiger baby, you are too much, why did you finish all the packets of biscuits in our house?"
"Fart, these are all my cookies, when did it become your family?"
"That's it, don't mess around, this is the biscuit that my eldest brother brought back..."
However, Erdan won't listen to these words, he only knows that his biscuits are gone.
So, without saying a word, he rushed up directly and scuffled with the boy Tiger Baby.
In the countryside, fights are all too common.
But in the mountains, everyone is neighbors, and fights are not very common.
The younger sisters of the tiger baby all cried and cried, and the younger brother stepped forward to help their eldest brother.
For a while, the scene was a little chaotic, but there was no accident, and the second egg would definitely suffer.
Zhou Jimin, who had just crossed a mountain, didn't know that because of two packets of biscuits, a fight had started.
From the mountain village where the boy is located, to Fenghuang Village, the path is very narrow and overgrown with weeds.
Zhou Jimin guessed that it should be that people in Fenghuang Village rarely go out, and now in summer, weeds grow quickly.
Otherwise, there are other paths leading to the outside world in Phoenix Village, or there won't be so many weeds.
"Damn, it can't be that Xu Yiming hasn't been sent to Phoenix Village yet, right?"
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Zhou Jimin's head.
Then the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was very likely.
"Damn, if Xu Yiming hasn't been sent to Phoenix Village yet, then wouldn't I have to run for nothing?"
There were so many weeds on this path, if it weren't for the fact that the ground could still vaguely see that it was a path, he would have thought that there would be no road here.
But no matter what, he still had to go to Phoenix Village to see it in person.
It took more than an hour to climb the second mountain.
Looking at Phoenix Village below, he suddenly felt the urge to settle here.
At the foot of the mountain are rows of terraced fields, green rice fields, and old farmers walking in the fields with old cows.
The rice harvest season has not yet arrived, but the harmonious picture in front of you is particularly attractive.
This should be the legendary paradise.
Referring to the natural environment, of course.
As for the villagers of Fenghuang Village, Zhou Jimin has not been in contact with it, so he doesn't know very well.
Walking down the hill along the path, the steep road in the rugged area is really daunting.
However, when you come to the location with terraced fields, the path is much wider.
But the problem also arises, that is, there is still a lot of livestock manure.
That's weird.
Cow dung is okay to say, after all, farming definitely needs buffalo cattle, but what about sheep dung?
Could it be that they still have a lot of support in this small mountain village?
Otherwise, the sheep dung on this mountain road can't be explained.
Of course, Zhou Jimin is very familiar with the manure of poultry and livestock.
Not to mention that he raised a lot of poultry in the space, and in his previous life, he was also a farmer, and almost all the cattle and sheep in the village were raised.
However, later on, bamboo, a cash crop, became very popular, and almost all the wasteland was reclaimed and planted with bamboo.
Because bamboo shoots are a food that is very common in many places, such as snail noodles, such as in snack shops.
In addition, the bamboo itself can also be sold to make paper, and the bamboo leaves can be picked to dry and wrap zongzi.
In short, everything is a treasure.
As a result, cattle and sheep have completely disappeared, because the wasteland has been planted with bamboo, and there is no grass growing on the wasteland for cattle and sheep to eat.
Soon, Zhou Jimin caught up with an old farmer and asked the other party about Xu Yiming's movements.
Sure enough, to his surprise, the old farmer didn't understand it at all.
He had no choice but to follow the old peasant to the village.
There must be someone in the village who can speak Mandarin.
Even if those teenagers don't understand it very well, there should be old people who understand Mandarin.
It's just that it's still difficult to walk the terraced fields.
The old farmer is walking on the ground, but he is a little forward-looking.
Finally came to the village, and their wooden houses built on the mountain revealed the original flavor.
Interestingly, he passed by the houses of several farmers and saw that there was a lot of bacon hanging on their kitchens.
Fenghuang Village is not simple, every household has bacon.
Looks like this is an Orion Village.
After walking for a while, there was finally an old man in his sixties and seventies who could understand Mandarin and could communicate.
"Housheng, where did you come from? Is there anything to do in our village? ”
The old man's Mandarin, unexpectedly standard, but still audible, was a southern accent.
"My postman from the province, I have a very urgent and important confidential document here, I need to personally send it to a young man named Xu Yiming from the countryside here on your side, may I ask the old man, do you have any young people who have gone to the countryside recently?"
I saw that the old man shook his head, saying that no outsiders had come to their village in recent years, and today was the first time that outsiders had come here.
Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Jimin said in his heart that he was really hit by his crow's mouth.
Otherwise, the information given by Lao Xing is wrong, and it is not Phoenix Village at all.
He inquired with the elderly about the recent policies, and they actually heard about the policy of young people going to the countryside.
There are several villages in the vicinity that have young people who have gone to the countryside, but there are no in their village at present.
After knowing these things, Zhou Jimin felt that Xu Yiming should still be on the way, not yet in Fenghuang Village.
Otherwise, something happened on the road.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, I'll leave first, and come back to your village in a few days."
In this regard, the elderly are not surprised.
Nowadays, the means of communication are very backward, especially for people who are already on the road, it is very normal to not be able to get in touch.
"If you don't dislike our village, comrade, you can stay and wait."
In the mountain road area, the elderly are also kind reminders.
If he was an ordinary person, he was naturally busy, but Zhou Jimin shook his head and refused.
Leaving Phoenix Village, he walked towards the terraces and then went straight to the mountain.
But as soon as he came to the mountain, he was about to find a flat land and leave here, but he was stopped by the shouts of several villagers.
"Comrade Postman, Comrade Postman, great, we have finally found you."
The three villagers were very happy, but Zhou Jimin was very strange.
"I've seen you, your name is Tiger Baby, right? I don't know much of your dialect, do you have something to do with me? ”
The young man in front of him had a blue nose and swollen face, but it could be seen that his mental state was not bad.
"It's like this......."
The tiger baby was a little aggrieved and briefly described the matter.
It turned out that the two packets of biscuits caused the trouble, and the second egg was beaten by him and his two younger brothers, leaving a lot of blood.
The villagers were amazed and invited the village chief to administer justice.
But she was beaten upside down by Erdan's mother, saying that the two packets of biscuits given by Zhou Jimin also had a share of her family, because she was the first person Zhou Jimin saw.
This made the tiger baby cry angrily, he tried his best to justify, and it was useless to roar.
The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and all of a sudden, even the village chief didn't know what the situation was and what to do.
In the end, someone still suggested that he go to Zhou Jimin and ask him to help.
Anyway, Phoenix Village is surrounded by high mountains, and if you want to leave Phoenix Village, you can only pass by their village.
So, the two villagers and Huwa rushed to Fenghuang Village non-stop.
After Zhou Jimin listened, he shouted in his heart, do you need to compete like this?
However, this era is like this, in the face of interests, which villager is not fighting for every penny?
