Guizhou is one of the most backward and poorest provinces in China. People often regard Guizhou as a city rather than a province, because the annual GDP of such a province in southwest China is not comparable to that of a developed coastal city.
.【】
It is precisely for this reason that many people always mistakenly call Guizhou Guiyang, mistakenly call Guiyang Guizhou, and invert the names of provinces and provincial capitals.
Although Guizhou Province has developed much faster than before in recent years due to the country's policy tilt toward the west, there is still a huge gap compared to the central and eastern regions because of its weak foundation.
Even if compared with Chongqing, Guiyang, the provincial capital of Guizhou, is not on the same level as Chongqing.
Poverty and backward areas naturally give rise to some very outdated ideas, and it is precisely for this reason that the tragedy of Luo Yumo happened.
The plane of Ye Huang and Luo Yumo landed at Longdongbao International Airport around ten o'clock in the morning. After leaving the airport, Ye Huang rushed non-stop and got on the bus to the Bijie area towards Luo Yumo's hometown.
go.
After four hours of bumpy driving in the car, we arrived at Bijie at around two o'clock in the afternoon. After arriving in Bijie, because he was not familiar with this area, Ye Huang could only ask Luo Yumo to be his guide.
Luo Yumo's hometown is a place called Hezhang County in Bijie City, and National Highway 326 happens to pass through it.
Although they are national highways, the road condition of these roads in the southwest region is only comparable to or even worse than some county-level highways in the eastern region. The three of us who got on the bus from Bijie had to dig through ravines for almost three more times.
We arrived in Hezhang County just hours later.
After arriving in Hezhang County, Ye Huang ordered Xing Tian to buy a lot of things, and then he and Luo Yumo got into the county car and rushed to Luo Yumo's town.
Caishen Town is a place that people easily associate with money, but in fact Caishen Town is one of the poorest provinces in China, the poorest prefecture-level city, and a very backward township among the poorest counties.
The village where Luo Yumo's parents lived was called Shiping Village. Ye Huang, Luo Yumo, and Xing Tian spent another two hours rushing to Caishen Town, and then rented two motorcycles and drove for more than an hour before arriving.
Shiping Village.
Although it is said to be a village, it is actually just a few houses scattered in the mountains. Most of the houses are made of mud or piled with stones and are very messy. The road leading to the village is muddy.
Although Ye Huang had already learned about the poverty and backwardness of this place from Luo Yumo, he realized that he had underestimated the degree of backwardness here when he actually arrived.
Although there are electric wires in the village, there are only starting points that most people can use, and most of them still light oil lamps and candles.
Perhaps because he was about to kill everyone, Luo Yumo's breathing was obviously much faster than before, and his eyes looked at the Tubei House not far away in the middle of the mountain with a touch of hope.
Feeling Luo Yumo's nervousness, Ye Huang held her hand tighter and then said softly.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
"Yeah!" Nodding, Luo Yumo nodded gently.
"I wonder if dad is at home?"
"You called them yesterday. You should be at home today."
Hearing what Ye Huang said, Luo Yumo felt a lot more relieved.
"Hey, isn't this the daughter of the old Luo family? Why are you coming back to get married?" Just as Ye Huang and the others were rushing towards Luo Yumo's home, they met an old woman on the road and said to Luo Yumo.
Ye Huang naturally didn't understand these words, so he just stood aside and watched Luo Yumo chatting with the latter for a few words, then turned around with a sad look on his face, said something to Ye Huang, and continued to go home.
Passing by the door of other houses along the way, Luo Yumo was naturally asked many times, and every time these people asked, Luo Yumo's face turned pale, as if he had heard very bad news.
"What's wrong, Yumo, what did they say to you?" Ye Huang saw that Luo Yumo's face was not very good, so he asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that my mother's illness seems to be a little more serious, old Mao Bin, let's go quickly." After suppressing laughter, Luo Yumo fiddled with the hair on his forehead, then turned around and walked quickly towards the door of his house.
Obviously Ye Huang didn't think the matter was that simple, but Luo Yumo didn't want to worry himself, so Ye Huang didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them walked for more than ten minutes and finally arrived at Luo Yumo's house.
It is said that it is home because this is the place where Luo Yumo grew up, and it is a kind of sustenance.
But under Ye Huang's eyes, there were only three low thatched houses that were about to collapse. Ye Huang observed that Luo Yumo's hometown should be the most dilapidated house in this area.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back..." As soon as he walked to the front of the house, Luo Yumo couldn't wait to shout.
Luo Yumo has not been home for two years since he left here. If his father hadn't urged him urgently this time, maybe this time would have been delayed even longer.
It's not that Luo Yumo doesn't want to see his parents, but because of the village chief's son, Luo Yumo doesn't dare to face a life without a future.
At the same time as Luo Yumo shouted, Ye Huang and Xing Tian also walked to the door.
Just when Luo Yumo shouted this, there was a sound of something breaking in the room. Not long after, Ye Huang saw a middle-aged woman with wrinkles on her face who looked like she was in her sixties.
Walked out.
If he didn't have the same eyes and eyebrows as Luo Yumo, it would be difficult for Ye Huang to connect the middle-aged woman in front of him with Luo Yumo's mother.
"Yu Mo, you... you're back..." The woman spoke in Guizhou dialect and said with trembling lips as she looked at her daughter in front of her with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I'm back. My daughter is unfilial. She hasn't come back to see you for so long." Holding his mother, Luo Yumo's eyes turned red and tears fell down.
The two of them hugged each other and cried for a while before they both stopped their emotions.
"Mom, where is Abba?"
"Your father went to build a house for others in a neighboring village and will come back later." Since he owed the village chief too much money, most of the money Luo Yumo's father earned over the years was used to fill the hole.
However, the entire area is so poor, so he has not earned much money over the years and has not paid back all the money. In addition, Yumo's mother has been ill, which makes the whole family even worse.
Moreover, Luo Yumo's younger brother is also in high school, so the gap is naturally even greater. If Luo Yumo hadn't often sent money back, the family would have collapsed.~
