【518】A village where even the children are unwilling to come back
“As people’s lives are getting better and better now, all the people are beginning to move towards a well-off society, so after there is a better way out, everyone begins to pursue a better life.
As a result, some relatively closed mountain villages like here were gradually abandoned and forgotten by people.
To be honest, although today's life in mountainous areas seems very hard to rich people in the city, compared with the life of people in the past, today's life is actually very good.
I still remember that when I was a child more than ten years ago, I was really poor. I was so poor that I couldn’t even buy shoes. I was so poor that I could only eat half full. I was so poor that I was laughed at even when I went to school.
It's alien.
On the other hand, the poor today can have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, but the only thing that is not perfect is probably the lack of a wife." Talking about the poverty in the past and the poverty now, Li Bu couldn't help but reveal his emotions.
With a sigh on his face, he sighed along with the strong man.
Hearing Li Bu's sigh, the strong man was stunned for a moment, and then continued to drive the boat forward while saying with a recalling look on his face: "Isn't that right? When I was a child, I was really poor.
At that time, if you could have one meal of white rice, you would be living like a god.
What we ate at that time were sweet potato porridge and white porridge. Sweet potato porridge was a handful of rice and a large pot of sweet potatoes, while white rice porridge was a porridge made from a handful of rice and a large pot of water.
I still often don't have enough to eat. What to do when I don't have enough to eat? I go up the mountain to catch cicadas, bugs, bees, birds, frogs, loaches, and eels to bake and eat.
So compared to the life before, the life now is really good. Unfortunately, people nowadays just don't know how to be satisfied. They are always thinking about comparing this and that with others...
Do you think those children who are lingering in the city and never come back are really happy? Are they really happy? I don’t think they are happy, but they would rather cry in the cement world than laugh in the mountains.
Who can do anything about it? Hey."
"In the final analysis, people today are too smart and prices are too high. When people become smart, they will no longer just think about future generations. They all think about having fun. Look at how many DINKs and people there are outside now.
Married but still unwilling to have children.
There is another reason. This reason is that there are too few girls and too many boys now, which causes an imbalance of yin and yang, resulting in too much competition for marriage, hey."
"Isn't that right? There are too few girls and too many boys now. Did you know that my cousin married a fat girl who weighs more than 150 pounds? She is so stupid that she can't do anything. She is just like a pig when she is too lazy.
It seemed like it, but even so, my cousin still spent 200,000 yuan to get her home."
"Then your bride price is relatively expensive. I also got married this year. When I got married, my family's conditions were not very good. My wife paid me a dowry at that time. But now that my living conditions are better, I don't have any.
Just treat them badly."
"Then you are lucky. But I am just as lucky as you. My wife also fell in love with me and came to live with me despite her family's objections. So, good women are becoming rarer and rarer now.
ah."
"Yes, brother, you are also a lucky person. There are not many men who can be loved by women like us now. Hahahaha, brother, it is fate. When I am free in the future, I will meet you for a drink."
"I heard that your Lijia Village is going to open a scenic spot and resort in the future, right? When I go to your place, remember to give me a discount."
"What kind of discount is that? Brother, if you come to my house as a guest, I can still charge you money. It's free. Everything is free. When you go to Lijiacun, come to me directly. I'll entertain you with food and accommodation, and I guarantee to arrange it for you."
Go properly."
In this way, Li Bu and the big man driving the boat chatted for more than an hour. The two of them chatted directly from the shore to Anle Village, the destination of Li Bu and his trip.
After arriving at the destination, as soon as the fishing boat docked, Lin Keman and the others immediately rushed ashore and vomited wildly.
After they finished vomiting, they all looked at Li Bu and said sadly, "Boss, I wouldn't have bullied people like you. You didn't tell us in advance that we were on such a long waterway, and we didn't even bring motion sickness medicine..."
"I didn't know that the waterway was so far. If I had known that the waterway was so far, I would have asked you to rest and I would have brought some people over."
After smiling and comforting Lin Keman and the others, Li Bu saw that they were fine after just vomiting a few times, and then he started to greet the others and start carrying things ashore.
This time I really had to move things ashore by myself, because there were only a dozen families in the village, and there were not even 40 people in total, so they didn’t have a village chief or secretary at all, so no one knew in advance that they were going to come out to greet them.
They or something.
However, although there was no one who specially came to greet them, several villagers passing by said hello to them. They just said hello in the local dialect, so Li Bu and the others couldn't understand them at all; "Hey, boss, what are you doing?"
Yes?"
"Ah, hello, uncles and aunties, we are from the Li Charity Foundation. It's the Chinese New Year, right? We are sending you New Year supplies." I heard the words of several uncles and aunties, a caring foundation that understands the dialect.
The members quickly came forward and said to them with a smile.
After hearing the words of the members of the Love Foundation, several uncles and aunties immediately asked with confusion and confusion; "Are you sent by the government? Didn't the government send things before? Why are you here again?"
"Uncle and aunt, we are not sent by the government, we are sent by Mr. Li Bu, our boss.
Our boss made some money this year, and his wife gave him four sons, so in order to thank fate for being kind to him, he held this charity event and sent New Year’s gifts to people in mountainous areas across the country.
and red envelopes.
Isn't it your village's turn as we have been walking all this way? By the way, uncle and aunt, can you greet the big guys in the village so that we can distribute things easily." I heard that the uncle and aunt had misunderstood, so the work of the Love Foundation
The staff quickly pointed at Li Bu and introduced them.
After hearing the explanation from the staff of the Love Foundation, the uncle and aunt immediately came forward and said to Li Bu with a grateful face; "Boss, thank you very much. I wish you prosperity, happiness in your family, and love as a husband and wife."
, the children also grew up healthy and happy, and grew into young talents..."
After hearing what the uncle and aunt said, the staff of the foundation quickly translated the words to Li Bu. Then Li Bu smiled and said to the uncle and aunt, "Thank you for your blessings. Xiao Bu, I am here to give them to you too."
Wishing you a happy new year in advance."
Hearing Li Bu's words, the uncle and aunt were stunned for a moment, and then they changed their dialect into vernacular and replied to Li Bu: "Boss, you're welcome, and you guys can follow us, I'll help you get rid of all the people in the village."
Everyone shouts to come..."
After smiling and nodding, Li Bu waved and led the others to start carrying firewood, rice, oil and salt, and followed the uncles and aunts towards the village.
After entering the village, Li Bu realized that what the strong man who sailed the boat said was absolutely right. This village was really a village that young people were unwilling to come back to.
After everyone arrived in Nuoda's village, Li Bu and the others immediately discovered that this place had been closed for nearly 10 years, and there was not even a single young person in the village. There were only some elderly villagers and young children...
