With the intention of drinking, the two of them talked about raising chickens in the mountains for a long time.

Wang Qiang didn't know that it was he who casually raised chickens in a mountain piece, which changed the trajectory of Li Yang's life since then.

Because he drank a little too much, Li Yang went back to his home in the county seat that night to sleep overnight, and the next day he took a taxi back to the village where he was born: Xiaotun Village.

Don't look at the name of Xiaotun, but this village is not small, the Xiaotun brigade has fifteen brigades, and Li Yang's hometown lives in the fifteenth team located at the foot of Dalizi Mountain.

His father, Lao Li, was the captain of the fifteenth team, and there were originally a lot of people in the village, but after the reform and opening up, all the families lived a good life with good policies, but everyone went out of the mountains and into the city. Therefore, at present, the rest of the village is not only the elderly, but also some preschool children.

The taxi entered the fifteenth team, and Li Yang saw that the iron general was hanging on the door of the house that was originally inhabited.

The taxi driver also had a casual conversation with him all the way, and then I heard the driver say:

"Young man, do you see, the houses here are not inhabited, and now there are more than twenty people in a team in this village!"

"No, who still lives in the countryside when they are rich!" Li Yang also sighed in his heart.

I can't help but think of when I was a child, the children on the street, playing hide and seek in the summer, playing snowball fights in the winter, and building snowmen.

He told the driver what he played with when he was a child, but he didn't expect the driver master who was a few years older than him to also say:

"That is, these games we played when we were children are interesting, and I think that today's children are either surfing the Internet or playing with mobile phones, and they are all white and chubby and have no vitality. ”

Although Li Yang had no children, and even his girlfriend who had been with him for a few years broke up, he still agreed with the driver's point of view and nodded.

Just as the driver wanted to continue talking, there were three people standing on the side of the road in front of him.

Li Yang hurriedly said to the driver:

"When you get to the master, just park here. ”

The driver had obviously just opened the conversation and was trying to continue to reminisce about his childhood, but he didn't expect it to arrive so soon, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After paying, the driver left a phone number, saying that it was inconvenient to go out to take a taxi here, if he used the car to call him in the future, he would be 10% off, and after speaking, the original 60 yuan fare was refunded 10 yuan.

Li Yang naturally thanked him, and after saying that, he would definitely have to use his car before getting out of the car.

As soon as Li Yang got out of the car, the middle-aged woman among the three people on the side of the road was the first to come over and grab his hand.

"Mom, I'm back. Li Yang looked at his mother, who still had frost-white sideburns, and his eyes were a little moist.

Since working for the past two years, the company has been very busy, and there is no holiday even for the Chinese New Year, so this is the first time he has gone home in two years.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Seeing that his son, who had not seen obvious thinning in the past two years, he touched his tears and said.

"it, what are you crying when your son comes back!"

"You're the end of the, how can you talk to your daughter-in-law, you know it's noisy every day, grandson, come and call grandma to see, yo, this kid is thin. Go back and ask your dad to buy more meat and come back, and make up for you!" "The grandmother, whose hair was still white, came up and hugged Li Yang.

"Grandma, you are getting more and more energetic!" Seeing his grandmother, who had doted on him since he was a child, he had become an old man at this time, Li Yang really regretted not coming back often.

"Are you going to leave this time?" Grandma still didn't seem to know about Li Yang's decision.

"I won't leave when I come back this time, and I won't go either. Li Yang, who didn't plan to leave, saw his grandmother and mother, as well as his father who didn't interject to talk to him, and completely made up his mind not to leave this time.

"It's good not to go, it's good not to go, grandma is rich, even if you don't go to work in the future, grandma can support you!"

Father and mother smiled from the bottom of their hearts when they saw that grandma was so happy.

Li Yang and his father carried the clothes they got back and the gifts they bought for the three of them, and followed their grandmother and mother into their house.

This is a big four-room house, Li Yang remembers that when he was a child, his family was not very wealthy, and when he was just sensible, the family was still an old-fashioned thatched house, and later his parents went to the city to work, so they built this house.

At that time, Li Yang and his grandparents lived in the original small grass house, and they were still the second uncle and aunt at that time.

The second uncle and the old aunt got married one after another when Li Yang was five or six years old, and both moved out, and later the grandfather also died a few years after the new house was built, and he was buried at the foot of Dalizi Mountain behind the village.

After entering the house, grandma and mother dragged Li Yang to the kang, it is late autumn, and the temperature in the northeast is already very cold.

The small kang was burned hot by my father, and sitting on it made me feel like I was back in my childhood.

Mom and grandma kept asking questions, and the father who was standing on the side could only watch the three of them have silly fun, and he couldn't interject at all.

It wasn't until noon that my mother went to cook that my father said a complete sentence to Li Yang.

"You called and said that you won't be going to work in the future, so have you figured out what to do in the future?"

Father and grandmother are different, he didn't say anything warm, but directly asked Li Yang about his future plans.

"What do you have to think about, if you don't have anything to do, I'll farm with you, and now I can earn a lot of money by contracting farming. ”

Before Li Yang could say anything, grandma opened her mouth first.

"Well, let's take a look. If you don't have any plans, you can farm with me, we are all mechanized here, and farming is not tiring, and contracting more land is not less than what you earn outside!"

Since the past few years, my father has contracted almost all the farmland in the village, and his pockets have also swelled, and he has a lot more confidence to speak.

"I will definitely help you plant the land, and yesterday when I was drinking with Xiaopang (Wang Qiang), I mentioned contracting a mountain piece and preparing to raise Yoda chickens. Li Yang's plan in his heart was said.

"Hmm~, I think it's okay, you can rest assured, the family has saved some money in the past few years, originally wanted to help you get a down payment and mortgage a house in the place where you work, since you decided to come back, it is better to give you some business, and find a daughter-in-law next year." ”

"It's that my grandmother is in her 70s, and if you don't get married, I won't be able to see my grandson. "For an old man, the matter of earning money is not happy from his grandson.

"Grandma's health is good, just wait to show me the child!" Li Yang said to his grandmother.

......

At less than 12 noon, my mother brought the prepared meal, and the whole family had a happy reunion dinner for the first time in two years.
