Chapter 11 is insightful
Yun Wenrou was a little apprehensive in her heart, this place didn't look much better than her hometown.
Yun Wenrou's hometown is relatively prosperous, and what she impresses most about the town is the petroleum technical school.
She once went in and was amazed by the beautiful environment and tall buildings.
Before today, she had fantasized that it was at least prettier and grander than her home town.
The reality is that in addition to the small mud houses, there are buildings under construction, piles of building materials, narrow streets, and garbage everywhere.
What makes Yun Gentle the most unbearable is that the air here is scorching and turbid.
And in her hometown, now in the evening, the temperature begins to drop, even if it is hot, it is not so hot, the air is fresh and comfortable.
However, after two or three years, she will no longer envy her hometown, and when the time comes, the prosperity here will not be able to catch up with her hometown.
Now Yun Wenrou is still doubting whether the news sent back by the people who came here to work is true.
Those people said that as long as they were willing to work hard and not lazy, they could make money here, and there was gold everywhere, but she didn't see gold, all she saw was reinforced concrete.
A person's insight limits her vision.
Yun looked up at the sky in a gentle and melancholy manner, and she saw the blood-like remnant sun, surrounded by clouds, disappearing behind the distant mountains, which were dyed a carmine red.
Yun Wenrou found again that the mountains here are also higher than those in his hometown, and the mountains in his hometown are like steamed buns, scattered and scattered everywhere.
People grow crops such as wheat, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn on Mantou Mountain.
The mountains here, in the setting sun, Yun Gentle still distinguish those that are not crops but a tree.
There are no crops, so the people here only grow rice in the fields, and they only eat rice.
Yun Wenrou's heart was even more worried, relying only on the little rice in the paddy field, is it enough to eat?
The locals don't have enough food, and the outsiders don't have enough food to eat! Yun's gentle thoughts ran farther and farther, and he didn't find that he was worried about the sky at all
"Pull over and be careful, there are a lot of motorcycles here, be careful of being knocked over." Sister Wu Lin reminded.
Yun Wenrou hurriedly retracted her thoughts of running away, and followed her sister Wu Lin step by step, feeling that she hadn't gone far out of the town.
"Sister, is this the only street in this town? It feels like a commune in my hometown, so small. ”
"yes, I thought it was a village when I first came. But soon it will get bigger and bigger, so many factories will be built, so many people from all over the country will come here to work, and if this momentum continues, it will soon be prosperous to the point that you can't imagine. If I hadn't seen how quickly this place had changed, I wouldn't have believed that it used to be just a village. ”
"It's amazing that my sister was able to see and participate in the construction of this place, and to see it develop rapidly. When you are old in the future, you can proudly say to future generations that there are also bricks and tiles you have added here, and you are a witness to the historical development here. ”
"Speaking of me, you are not the same, and this will also be the place where you dedicate your youth in the future."
"Sister, is your factory outside the town?" Yun asked gently and strangely.
"My factory is over there, and the factories are all outside the town. You can't get into the factory, only the people in the factory can get in. I rented a house in the village, I will take you there first, and then I will come back to work in the factory. Sister Wu Lin explained.
As soon as they left the town, they turned a corner and entered a narrow dirt road. On both sides of the dirt road are farmland, and the green seedlings in the farmland are in the sunset, like a green watercolor painting.
Yun Wen asked in surprise: "Sister, why are there still seedlings here?"
My sister Wu Lin didn't reply: "This is the south, the climate is different from ours, the cold time in winter is very short, rice is planted twice a year, and other crops are planted in the same two seasons."
"Then don't they have an endless supply of food?" Yun Wenrou has been hungry since she was a child, and she is most concerned about food.
"I don't know, but I heard that their yields are not as high as ours, and the mountains are full of weeds and trees, so you can't grow wheat. The soil on the flat land is not as fertile as we have, you see it's all yellow mud. ”
Yun Wenrou looked at those lands, it was true, and those mountains were really high, not at all his hometown, only sparse Mantou Mountain.
She secretly rejoiced in her heart: "Two crops of rice are good, you can't grow wheat on the mountains, and you can't plant two crops of rice in the fields, so it's the same, and there will still be no shortage of food to eat."
If the locals knew Yun Gentle's thoughts, they would definitely scoff at it. They are in the south, and they produce all crops twice a year, so how can they have no food to eat.
Wu Lin took Yun Wenrou into a village, urging her to hurry up, and soon stopped in front of a tiled house.
Wu Lin took out the key to open the door and entered, as soon as he entered the door, there was a patio, and there was a pressurized water well next to the patio.
Walk through the corridor next to the patio and enter the hall, which has a door on the left and right sides of the back of the hall.
Wu Lin opened a door on the left, and Yun Wenrou saw at a glance that there was a bed in the door, a small table, a table lamp on the table, and a bucket and a plastic basin behind the door.
"Sister, the people here all live in this kind of mud brick house, I feel that it is not as good as my own blue brick house, and this house is so short."
"What do you want? You only see a half-star, this kind of house is only rented, and most of the villagers live in high-rise buildings. Their land was expropriated, but a lot of money was given to them, and I heard that they still had a share of it every year. I've only heard about this, so you don't know if you don't talk nonsense outside in the future. ”
Wu Lin threw her sister's backpack on the bed and said, "Sister, I'm going to work overtime, I don't have time to accompany you, there are instant noodles there, you pour boiling water from the kettle into it, soak it for a few minutes and you can eat it."
Wu Lin took her sister to a small room next to the patio outside, and continued: "This is the kitchen, you boil water by yourself, take a bath, and take a bath there."
After Wu Lin finished explaining, he hurriedly walked out, walked out and locked the door again, and said while locking: "After taking a bath, go to bed, close the door, and don't come out when you hear a sound."
Wu Lin locked the door, turned around and ran away.
Yun Gentle stood silently in the door, listening to the footsteps of her sister running away, feeling a little lost in her heart.
She stood for a while until she couldn't hear her sister's footsteps, then she turned and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen stove is a clay stove, only the cooktop is plastered with cement.
Yun Wenrou pouted in her heart again, this stove is not as good as her own stove, but her own stove is made of green bricks, and the stove is also pasted with porcelain tiles.
The little girl who has never been out, how did she know that this house is for rent, it must not be very good.
Yun Wenrou filled the pot with water, lit the fire, and then went out of the kitchen to get a change of clothes.
When Yun Wenrou passed by the patio, she found that in this small patio near the gate, there was a large plastic basin with a large basin of clothes soaked in the basin.
Opposite the patio is the living room, which I heard my sister say later, our hometown is called the hall, the place to eat, and the place to entertain guests, they call it the living room here.
Later, she also knew that in her hometown, the city was also called a living room, and she was just a rural girl with little knowledge.
