After resigning, I want to go back to the village to grow sweet potatoes

Chapter 8 Helpless
As soon as Lin Changsheng mentioned the start-up capital, the members of the village team were all one-sided again, and each of them fired at Zhuang Yan with agitated expressions:
"Without start-up capital, how to develop?"

"In the past, we either didn't want to develop, or because we didn't have start-up capital."

"Building a red memorial hall requires money, renovating a stone house requires money, opening a food processing factory requires money, and there are also bamboo products processing factories, embroidery processing factories, etc., which one does not need money?"

"There is no start-up capital, and the best thing to say is the portrait on the wall? It's not useful."

"..."

Faced with everyone's questioning of Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Su and Lin Desheng bowed their heads in silence. Lin Xi looked at the old man, looked at Zhuang Yan, and was a little at a loss.

Huo Liang lazily leaned on the old tree, looking gloating.

"Okay, okay, I think everyone should leave. Uncle Zhuang, you always try to persuade Xiaoyan that it is the right way to go back to Shuizhou to be his big reporter. We won't blame him for wasting a whole morning, how much It can be regarded as listening to a big hype story."

Lin Changsheng was the first to leave the ancient tree, followed by Lin Demin, Lin Dazhi, and Lin Manyue. Huo Liang kicked the ancient tree and cursed:
"I've lived in vain for so many years, and I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself here. Go back to eat lunch, sweet potato sake, sweet potato balls, sweet potato glutinous rice, perfect match, sweet potato farts comfortably, yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, so on "

Huo Liang howled dryly and walked towards his home.

"grandfather……"

"Daddy..."

Zhuang Yan and Lin Xi saw Zhuang Su and Lin Desheng leaving the ancient tree silently with their hands behind their backs, trying to catch up but couldn't move forward.

Tears rolled in Lin Xi's eyes. She had never seen her beloved brother Yan so helpless as today.

"Xiaoxi, go back and have lunch."

Zhuang Zhong turned out from behind the old tree.

"Big Daddy, I..."

Tears welled up in Lin Xi's eyes.

"Go back, he also needs to be quiet."

Solemn and peaceful.

"Then I'm going back."

Lin Xi pulled up his suitcase and went home.

After Lin Xi left, Zhuang Zhuang walked to the long stone bench and sat down. He didn't greet Zhuang Yan, nor looked at Zhuang Yan, but just sat there quietly, looking at the gurgling Qingshui River under the Qingshi Bridge.

Although the temples of this sixty-year-old man have turned gray, his tall figure is still tall and straight, and his bronzed face is obviously more bookish than ordinary mountain people.

At noon, Qingshui Bay was clean, and all the villagers had lunch in their houses. Under the old tree, there were only the father and son of the farmer.

A gust of mountain wind blew past, Zhuang Yan shuddered, and slowly walked in front of Zhuang Zhuang.

"dad……"

"Xiao Yan is back? Come home, your mother is waiting for you for lunch."

Standing up with a solemn smile, he stretched out his hand to pick up his suitcase and walked to the village.

"Dad, Mom hasn't figured it out when I go back to the village, right?"

Solemn followed behind Solemn, just like waiting for Solemn punishment for doing something wrong in childhood.

"Didn't figure it out, didn't you come back?"

"Dad, are you upset too?"

"Xiao Yan, do you think we should be happy?"

"Dad, you and Mom must be very disappointed."

"Disappointed? You are wrong. Xiao Yan, if you simply use disappointment or happiness to describe our attitude towards your return to the village, I think you underestimate your mother and me. Back then I resolutely gave up my job in the city and returned to Qingshui Wan teach, my mood is much simpler than yours now."

"Dad, do you mean that I don't need to care about everyone's attitude towards my return to the village?"

"Let me ask you, do you really want to lead the villagers to live the same life as the people in the city when you go back to the village, or do you want to escape because the pressure in the city is too high and the interpersonal relationship is too complicated?"

"Dad, of course I decided to come back to the village only because I wanted to lead the villagers to live a life like the people in the city."

"Xiao Yan, before doing something, you must think clearly about why you want to do it and how to do it. Once you decide, do it without distraction. Too much consideration of other people's opinions will only make you look forward and backward."

"Dad, I understand!"

After hearing Zhuang's words, Zhuang's lost and helpless heart lifted up again, and he walked quickly to his home in Xincun.

In the old village, Lin Xi walked home step by step, and sat down on the stone steps at the door of the house, covering his face and crying.

In Qingshuiwan, only Lin Xi's family still lives in the stone house in the old village.

Except for the roof covered with thatch, the walls of this stone house are all made of stones without using any other materials.

In the past, people in Qingshuiwan Village lived in stone houses. After getting rid of poverty, relying on subsidies from above and raising funds by themselves, every household built new tile-roofed houses. Only Lin Desheng’s family did not build new tile-roofed houses because of the heavy burden, but replaced the thatched roof with tiles. piece.

Lin Xi loves solemnity. This love was the attachment love of a little girl to a big brother when she was a child.

Lin Xi is three years younger than Zhuang Yan. Before the third grade of elementary school, she studied with him in Qingshuiwan Village Primary School.

There is only one teacher at Qingshuiwan Primary School, Zhuang Zhong, who teaches the children various subjects.

Lin Xi was gifted and bright, and after only half a semester in the first grade, he caught up with Zhuang Yan, a top student, and the two became the same grade.

Due to his family's poverty and malnutrition, Lin Xi was very thin when he was young. He was less than 1.3 meters tall and weighed only about 25 kilograms when he was in the fourth grade.

During the three years of studying in her own village, although Lin Xi was weak, the children were united, friendly and helped each other. She did not encounter too many difficulties.

But starting from the fourth grade, he went to Quanquan Primary School in a neighboring village, and Xiao Linxi ran into trouble.

The neighboring village is more than ten miles away from Qingshui Bay. Children need to get up early and work in the dark to go to school, and parents have no time to pick them up.

Zhuang Yan went to Lin Xi's house every morning to pick her up to school together, and waited for her to go home together after school in the afternoon.Knowing that her family is poor and short of food and clothing, I bring her some delicious food every day.In rainy and snowy weather, the mountain road is difficult to walk, so solemnly carry Linxi home.

Although Lin Xi is thin and small, but has a fresh and beautiful appearance, it is inevitable that some boys will play tricks on him.Zhuang Yan always appeared in front of Lin Xi in time to teach those boys who bullied Lin Xi, the boys dare not challenge Lin Xi again.

In junior high school, Lin Xi and Zhuang Yan attended the middle school in the town together.

The town is more than 50 miles away from Qingshuiwan Village and needs to live on campus.

At this time, Lin Xi had already started to develop and needed more nutritional protection.

Zhuangyan always brings some extra meals every week, and Zhuangyan's mother knows it well, she will always cut up some extra bacon saved during the Chinese New Year and bury it in the lunch box.

When eating, Zhuang Yan would sit and eat with Lin Xi no matter how other students made fun of him. He basically ate dry rice and left the dishes to Lin Xi.

Girls in middle school began to pay attention to their own image, and Lin Xi must be the most poorly dressed girl in school.

In addition to helping the family with farm work during the solemn holidays, every morning, noon and night, I would go to the mountains to dig herbs, go down the river to catch small fish, climb trees to pick wild fruits, and go to the town to exchange money.

In exchange for the money, except for buying a small gift for the family, all the extra money was used to buy clothes and small accessories that girls like for Lin Xi.

At first Lin Xi was resolutely unwilling to accept it, so Zhuang Yan said in a big brother's tone, you are the only girl in Qingshui Bay who goes to middle school, you must dress neatly, and you cannot let outsiders look down on you.

In high school, Lin Xi chose to study as a vocational high school kindergarten teacher in order to start working early and reduce the burden on the family.

Zhuang Yan was admitted to Shuizhou Middle School with excellent grades. Although the two are in Shuicheng together, they seldom meet each other.

In order to save the round-trip fare, Lin Xi usually only goes back to Clear Water Bay once a month.

When Zhuang Yan goes back every week, besides bringing vegetables and rice to Lin Xi, he will also bring Lin Xi some dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato balls, fried sweet potato chips and small wild fruits from the mountains for Lin Xi to eat as snacks. He knows that girls like to eat snacks, but Lin Xi does not Qian went to the street to buy snacks like other girls.

Zhuang Yan's kindness to Lin Xi was deep in his bones and deep in his heart.

　Ask for a reward, ask for a monthly ticket!
