Lin Xia hadn't gone out alone with Lu Yuxiu for a long time, the two had a pleasant breakfast outside, and then followed Lu Yuxiu on the bus.

"Where are we going?" Lin Xia thought it was nearby, but he didn't expect to take the bus.

Lu Yuxiu smiled and didn't speak, so Lin Xia had no choice but to follow him.

But the direction in which the bus was going made Lin Xia feel a little inexplicable.

After sitting in the car for two hours, Lin Xia looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scene outside the window, and an idea rose in his heart.

"This is where we used to live?" Lin Xia looked at Lu Yuxiu in disbelief, and after getting his default look, he suddenly looked outside in surprise.

The town looks much more lively than before, and the market used to be the most conspicuous street, but now there are all kinds of small shops on the streets.

"Why did you bring me here?" Lin Xia walked around and said.

"Do you remember the old Xiaowang Village? They are relatively poor there, although the location is relatively remote, but the soil quality is good, suitable for growing medicinal herbs. ”

Lin Xia was already very happy, and her eyes lit up when she heard this, the most important thing was that she had dealt with the people of Wang Village.

"Why didn't I think of it here!" The more Lin Xia thought about it, the more he felt that it was good here, not to mention that there was a wharf here, and it was very convenient to transport it on a ship!

Seeing Lin Xia's happy smiling face, a hint of a smile appeared in Lu Yuxiu's eyes, and his daughter-in-law still looked good when she smiled.

The two walked towards Xiaowang Village, and Lin Xia was walking with memories in his mind, recalling with great interest what places on the side of the road had changed, and what they looked like before.

"Let's talk about it later, let's go to the former family area, right?" Lin Xia remembered the acquaintances he had known before, and looked at Lu Yuxiu with anticipation.

"Of course."

When I arrived in the village, I met a group of children running around, many of whom were running bare-bottomed.

When he saw two strangers, he immediately looked at them with a wary face.

Yes, this vigilance is right.

"What do you guys do?" A slightly older child at the beginning asked Lin Xia.

Lin Xia smiled kindly and said, "I'm looking for your village chief, is the village chief at home?" ”

"Who are you? Do you know our village chief? ”

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you go and ask, and say that an officer surnamed Lu is looking for him." Lin Xia reported his name.

The child at the head called a small attendant in disbelief, whispered a few words, and the child turned around and ran.

"Wait, I'll ask someone." The little boy still didn't let down his guard, but his tone was not so fierce.

Lin Xia hadn't seen such an alert child for a long time, and when he saw his defensive little appearance, he suddenly felt funny.

was teasing him to speak, and a figure came not far away, Lin Xia stared at it, it was Village Chief Wang, who had just not seen him for a few years, and looked much older.

"You're looking for me?" The old village chief hung a cigarette pouch in his hand, looked at Lu Yuxiu with cloudy eyes, and suddenly said, "You are the battalion commander Lu?" ”

Lu Yuxiu took a step forward and held the old village chief's hand: "It's me, the village chief hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

When the old village chief saw that it was really him, he was immediately excited.

Then he looked at Lin Xia and blurted out: "You are Comrade Lin, right?" ”

Lin Xia was surprised, they seemed to have only met a few times, but they didn't expect the other party to recognize her, "Village Chief, do you still remember me?" ”

"Of course I do." The old village chief said without hesitation, it was the first time in their village that they had seen such a beautiful person.

The most important thing is that she will buy a lot of dried seafood in the village every year, and she has to buy a lot of mangoes and coconuts every year, and many people in the village have a much better life.

"I heard you weren't transferred? How will it come back? "Since they left, no one in the village has bought fruit and dried goods, so they can only keep them for their own families.

"Looking for a place to talk?" Lin Xia smiled.

The old village chief reacted and immediately greeted warmly: "Let's go, go to my house and say." ”

Lin Xia turned his gaze to the children next to him, their eyes were defenseless, only curiosity remained.

Lin Xia smiled and thanked them, "Thank you for calling people." ”

"You are someone the village chief knows, so you don't need to thank you." The child who took the lead tilted his head and said angrily.

"Okay, I'll have a chance to treat you to candy in the future." Lin Xia only had a few pieces of candy in her bag, which was obviously not enough for the group of children in front of her, so she didn't take them out.

The child in front of him didn't speak, and turned around and ran away with a bunch of younger brothers, obviously not believing in the casual promise of adults.

When I arrived at the village chief's house, the house was a brick house, which looked better than the surrounding people.

When Lin Xia explained his intentions, the village chief hesitated and did not speak.

"Are there any concerns?"

The village chief took a puff of cigarette and said cautiously: "It's not that I don't agree, I can't do this alone." ”

Not long after the land in the village was distributed to everyone, there is now a person who wants to contract their land, and the villagers always feel empty when they have no land in their hands.

He had only heard about land contracting when he went to the meeting, and for the villagers, he had never heard of it at all, and he was worried that the villagers would have ideas in their hearts.

Lin Xia also understood when she heard that this was the reason, and she didn't plan to be able to talk about it all at once, "It's okay, I can wait, but please help me talk about it from the village chief." ”

Seeing this, the village chief nodded and agreed to help her, "I can't guarantee this." ”

The villages that Lin Xia went to before didn't even have a chance to talk, and they were already very satisfied when they heard the village chief say this.

Before leaving, Lin Xia saw the dried goods all over the yard, and suddenly said, "Is there still dried goods in the village?" I want to buy more and go back. ”

When the village chief heard this, his face was full of wrinkles with joy, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I don't know how much you want." ”

Lin Xia thought for a while: "Let's ask for thirty catties." ”

This weight is a lot, in addition to dried fish, other seafood will become lighter after drying, thirty catties of dried seafood, she plans to send more than half of it back to Beijing.

Since she went to school, she has not sent anything back to Beijing.

There was no need for Lin Xia to go to get it one by one, the old village chief called his daughter-in-law, and after a while, he collected a big bag full of them.

The daughter-in-law of the village chief said with a scale, and said with some apprehension: "The weight is a little over, but it is guaranteed to be the largest and the best." ”

The village chief immediately said anxiously: "Take some out quickly." ”

Lin Xia glanced at it, and it was more than a catty, but the little abalone in it was indeed as she said, and it was very good.

Lin Xia smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all settled together." ”

The village chief apologized embarrassedly: "I'm really embarrassed, this..."

It's just a little bit more, and there's nothing left for yourself.

Out of the village, Lu Yuxiu carried a cloth bag and asked Lin Xia, "Do you still go to the family area to have a look?" ”
