As in previous years, it was only October and the temperature in Changjin City had already dropped to a few degrees.

The frost is full of color and the white fog is vast.

A train with the first station in Shenzhen is slowly heading towards the final station, Changjin City. The conductor walked back and forth for the final check-in.

One of the ticket cars was occupied by a family of three.

The parents looked to be in their forties, with slightly rickety bodies, dark skin, thick joints, and traces of toil in the wind and rain.

The son is about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a hat, and his facial features are difficult to hide.

The conductor checks their documents and tickets one by one.

"Yao Nian."

"Zhou Xiu."

"Yao Fugui."

Make sure that the documents and tickets can be matched, and the conductor will return the things to them.

Yao Fugui put away his things, he couldn't stand the cold, and put a set of clothes on his body, and shivered while putting them on: "It's really cold this day, we still wore short sleeves when we set off from Shenzhen." Mom, Dad, would you like to add one more? ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man sitting opposite smiled and spoke in an authentic Changjin City accent: "Are you here to visit relatives or to do business?" ”

As the head of the family, Yao Nian rubbed his palms and replied in a somewhat rusty Changjin City accent: "No, we are locals." ”

The journey was boring, and there was still some time before the train arrived and stopped, the middle-aged man closed the newspaper in his hand and asked gently, "You have a big bag, are you going back to settle down?" ”

Yao Nian nodded: "Yes, I heard from my fellow villagers that Changjin City has developed rapidly in recent years, and many jobs are short of manpower." ”

Yao Fugui is young and has a relatively out-of-the-box temperament, and when he saw that the middle-aged man was enthusiastic and easy to speak, he asked the other party about the situation in Changjin City with some curiosity.

This is obviously not the first time that a middle-aged man has answered this question: "Have you ever heard of the fairy tale world factory?" ”

Yao Fugui nodded: "I've heard of it, this toy brand is very famous in the Shenzhen market." ”

A proud smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Since the fairy tale world began to make wooden toys, many locals in Changjin City have also discovered the business opportunities contained in it.

They followed in the footsteps of the fairy tale world and started a toy business one after another.

With the strong support and intentional publicity of the government, it took only one year for Changjin City to transform from a furniture business to a toy business, and from the downstream of the industry that provides raw materials to the upstream of the industry that produces products.

Merchants from all over the world flocked to Changjin City to wholesale toys and ship the toys here to be sold all over the country.

Just like mentioning Jingdezhen, everyone thinks of blue and white porcelain;

When it comes to Dehua Town, everyone thinks of white porcelain;

Nowadays, when mentioning Changjin City, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is toys.

The fame of the "Toy Capital" has just hit.

The middle-aged man said excitedly: "...... I heard that the government is planning to hold a trade fair recently, and to sell local toys abroad. ”

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Yao Nian and his wife Zhou Xiu glanced at each other, and their hearts became more and more confident.

More than ten years ago, they took their three-year-old son to Shenshi.

The husband and wife did not have a diploma and could only do some hard work.

However, after more than ten years, I have saved a lot of money on hand.

Seeing that their son was about to reach the age of marriage, Yao Nian and Zhou Xiu pondered buying a wedding house for their son, so that they could ask for a daughter-in-law in the future.

But housing prices in Shenzhen are rising year by year, and the couple's life savings are not enough for a down payment.

Just when the husband and wife had a headache, they heard about the situation in Changjin City from their fellow villagers, and they started to think of returning to their hometowns to buy a house and work.

Again, the homeland is hard to leave.

After all, they are getting older, and they can't fight as hard as they did when they were younger. Rather than a wandering life, I naturally want to return to my hometown.

Soon, the train arrived.

Yao Nian looked through the window at the lively scene of people coming and going outside the train station.

When it comes to facilities, Changjin Railway Station and Shenshi Railway Station cannot be compared at all.

But along the way, Yao Nian has seen no less than ten railway stations, and among these railway stations, the facilities and liveliness of Changjin Railway Station are definitely second only to Shenshi Railway Station.

"Grab your luggage, we're getting off." Yao Nian reminded.

When he just got off the train, he didn't feel much, and as soon as he got out of the train station, he was faced with a cold wind, and Yao Fugui shivered fiercely.

There are many people in tricycles at the entrance of the station.

Seeing Yao Nian's appearance of their big bags and small bags, he hurriedly rushed forward and asked them where they were going.

Yao Nian ignored them, but went to the small supermarket next to them to buy a pack of cheap cigarettes and asked the boss how to get to the city bus station.

"Where are you going?"

I heard that the place where Yao Nian was going back was Jixiang Town, and the boss said, "Then you don't have to go to the bus station." ”

"There is a bus booth 100 meters west of the train station, and the buses there run once an hour, all of which are sent to Jixiang Town."

Yao Fugui grew up in Shen Changchang since he was a child, and he was not surprised, but Yao Nian and his wife were already dumbfounded: "What? Is the traffic in Changjin City already so good now? ”

Obediently, Jixiang Town is the poorest town under Changjin City.

Now there are direct buses.

The boss knew by listening to his accent that he was a local, and said happily: "I haven't been back for many years." Now Jixiang Town is different from before, ten people who come to Changjin City to do business, eight of them all go to Jixiang Town. ”

"There are more people going, why don't you open a special bus line to make it convenient for those big bosses?"

Yao Nian and his wife are still amazed.

Thanks to the boss, they walked all the way to the west, and sure enough, they saw a brand new bus stop.

At this time, there were many people standing near the bus stop, all of whom were going to Jixiang Town.

It was also Yao Nian who happened to be in a hurry, and they had just waited at the bus stop for less than two minutes, and the car arrived.

Everyone got on the bus in an orderly manner.

Yao Nian and Zhou Xiu thought that they were mentally prepared, but perhaps they were too deep about the poverty and backwardness of Jixiang Town at the beginning, and when they saw the current situation in Jixiang Town, they still couldn't help but show a look of shock.

The roads are mostly renovated.

The houses on both sides of the road are either repaired or under construction.

The whole town is in a kind of high-speed development, with pedestrians coming and going in a hurry, dressed plainly, but full of the lightness of life with hope.

Now Jixiang Town, where is there still a little bit of a poor town?

Yao Nian and his wife were shocked, but Yao Fugui quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming back, his parents had given him a lot of vaccinations, Yao Fugui didn't have any expectations for the environment in Jixiang Town, but now that he looks at it, it's not as bad as his parents said.

Soon, Yao Nian's family got on the bus to the village again.

The situation in the village is even better than the situation in the town.

At a glance, most of the new buildings in the village have been built, and there is a large factory building on the outskirts of the village, and the bazaar is built around the factory, and the bus stops at the entrance of the bazaar.

Yao Nian was inexplicably scared.

Now the village has changed a lot, and I don't know if those relatives still live in the village before.

And also......

I don't know what happened to his sister's family now.

Are you still running a garbage recycling station?

"Dad, why don't you leave." Yao Fugui couldn't understand this kind of homesickness at all, and urged loudly.

Rui Rui's father had just returned from a trip to the city, but in a blink of an eye, he saw some familiar faces.

After more than ten years of not seeing each other, Rui Rui's father was not very sure, and hesitated to step forward: "Is it Ah Nian?" ”

Ten minutes later, Yao Nian's family followed Rui Rui's father back to his house.

Rui Rui's father beckoned them to sit down and poured them tea: "I'm still at work, you can sit here for a while and eat something, and I'll call my dad to come back and entertain you." ”

Yao Nian expressed understanding: "It's okay, it's okay, you go and get busy." ”

The village chief was not far away to watch others playing chess, heard Rui Rui's father's shouting, said hello to his chess friends, and walked home.

Rui Rui's father went back to work with peace of mind.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the factory, Rui Rui's father saw Jiang Fanyue who was surrounded by several children.

After two or three years, the fifteen-year-old girl was slim.

After the nutrition caught up, Jiang Fanyue's body grew a lot taller, and now he is 1.65 meters.

She still had short, soft, ear-length hair and a pearl hairpin pinned to her ear. The sunlight fell on it, refracting the crystal broken light, falling into her round eyes, and she smiled before she could say a word.

At this time, Jiang Fanyue was tilting her head slightly and chatting with the second girl.

After the first article was published in the newspaper, Er Niu stopped creating. Jiang Fanyue asked her, and Erniu said that she was not very interested in writing, and it was enough to publish it once, and then she would devote all her energy to studying.

Sure enough, in September this year, Jiang Fanyue was successfully promoted from the No. 1 junior high school of the city to the No. 1 middle and high school, and the second girl was also admitted to the high school of the city No. 1 from Jixiang Middle School, and the two became classmates again.

"Yueyue—"

Rui Rui's father shouted.

When Jiang Fanyue came over, Rui Rui's father said, "Your cousin's family has come back and is now at my house." If you see your mother, tell her. ”

I thought that Jiang Fanyue had no impression of her cousin's family, but who knows, after hearing Rui Rui's father's words, Jiang Fanyue actually showed a happy smile on her face: "Cousin, are they really back?" I'll go meet my cousin first. ”

After saying that, Jiang Fanyue said hello to Erniu and hurriedly walked towards the village chief's house.

At this time, the village chief was catching up with Yao Nian and Zhou Xiu.

Yao Fugui couldn't intervene in their topic, and the person was still sitting on the sofa, and his mind had drifted to other places randomly.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a fashionably dressed girl coming to the courtyard gate.

The girl seemed to notice his gaze, and her gaze fell on him.

Then, he smiled at him.

Yao Fugui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously returned a smile to the other party.

Jiang Fanyue's smile deepened, she raised her hand and knocked on the door and walked in, her eyes were crooked, and her tone was eager: "Is it my cousin, uncle and aunt, I am Yueyue." ”

In the past few years, Jiang Fanyue has maintained correspondence with her "cousin's family".

Some time ago, she also asked the "cousin's family" in the letter when they would return to their hometown to see.

As a result, the reply was not received, but the person saw it first.

However, Yao Nian, Zhou Xiu and Yao Fugui's reactions were beyond Jiang Fanyue's expectations.

They didn't seem to recognize her, and their eyes were unfamiliar and alienated, and they were suddenly greeted warmly.

The village chief also noticed their embarrassment and made an introduction next to him: "She is Yao Rong's daughter, Yueyue." ”

Yao Nian was a little surprised.

This niece's dress is not cheap at first glance, and it seems that his sister's family's economic situation has improved a lot over the years.

"Every month has grown so big."

Zhou Xiu also smiled: "This child is really smart, just like the girls in the city." ”

Yao Fugui scratched his head, because of Jiang Fanyue's smile just now, his first impression of Jiang Fanyue was particularly good, and he directly shouted "Cousin Yueyue".

Jiang Fanyue has completely determined that the "cousin family" who has maintained correspondence with her for four years is not the three in front of her.

There is no doubt that the identities of the three people in front of him are all fine.

For four years, the person who wrote to her as a "cousin's family" -

Jiang Fanyue didn't show anything unusual on her face, and sat quietly beside the village chief.

"Yueyue, where is your mother?" The village chief asked.

Jiang Fanyue replied: "Recently, there was going to be a trade fair in the city, and she was invited to the meeting, and she was not very free these days. ”

Yao Nian was stunned.

He had heard about the city's trade fair, and he had heard it mentioned on the train.

But what does this have to do with Yao Rong?

Why was Yao Rong invited to the meeting?

Looking at the clothes on Jiang Fanyue's body, as well as the delicate watch on his wrist that is not cheap at first glance, Yao Nian's voice was hoarse, and he asked with a little shock: "How has your family been doing all these years?" ”

The village chief smiled: "Have you seen the factory at the entrance of the village?" That's all Yao Rong's. ”

"I ...... I remember that factory was a fairytale......"

"Yes, Yao Rong is the boss of the fairy tale world. If it weren't for her help everywhere over the years, where would our village and Jixiang Town develop so fast. ”

Yao Nian and Zhou Xiu showed suspicious expressions on their faces.

"Ah Rong!? The boss of the fairy tale world!? ”

"Is it the famous fairy tale world!?"

The village chief nodded: "Which fairy tale world is there in Changjin City?" ”

Yao Nian: "......"

On the way back, he wondered if Yao Rong was still running a garbage recycling station.

As a result, the garbage recycling bin is already an old calendar.

Now his sister has turned into a big boss, the kind who can often hold meetings with city leaders!

The village chief looked at Yao Nian's family, who were still in a state of shock, and then looked at Jiang Fanyue, who didn't know what they were thinking, and said, "Ah Nian, you have worked hard all the way back by car, I'll take you to rest first." ”

"We have a homestay in our village, and people who have just returned from other places can stay in it for free for a week. You rest in it for a few days and think about what you're going to do next. ”

asked Jiang Fanyue to go back to rest first, and when she saw Yao Rong, don't forget to tell Yao Rong the news that Yao Nian's family has returned.

Jiang Fanyue watched Yao Nian's family leave, turned around and walked to the entrance of the village, took a car to the town, and went straight to the post office.

The staff at the post office is still the same acquaintance Xiaoshan back then.

"You say this? That's right, all these packages were prepared by your mother herself, and then asked me to pretend that they were sent from Shenzhen. ”

"I don't know exactly what's inside, but it's certain that from four years ago until now, there will be a package like this basically every other month."

"Why should I help her?"

Xiaoshan smiled brightly.

Maybe it's because the mother's love carried by the package is too moving, after many years, he still clearly remembers what Yao Rong said.

"At that time, your mother told me that if there are not so many people who love you for the time being, then she can give you a lot of love by herself."
