The ridges of Laoou Ridge were steep and long, and Li Hongqi was sweating all over the climb. When the two children were tired from walking, Tian Tian and Tian Feng held them in their arms.
After a while, Tian Feng started to sweat. Li Hongqi went over and the two of them took turns holding the child. Tian Tian held Chang Shun in his arms, feeling relaxed from beginning to end.
Captain Zhang: "I have long heard that the female labor experts in Shanggang Village are very powerful. Today I have seen it. Even the young men in our village can climb this mountain without blushing or out of breath."
Tian Ye: "We country people are used to going up mountains and down rivers."
The two city dwellers, who were taking turns holding their children, sweating profusely and breathing heavily, were shot dead.
Tian Tian: "This beam really builds roads. Otherwise, no matter how good the village is, it will be useless if it can't come out."
Captain Zhang: "Repair, keep repairing."
Standing on the top of the beam, looking at the smoke from the kitchen far away. The whole field was worried about Tian Feng, who was breathing heavily and sweating. The beam was still a project.
I saw Captain Zhang take out a big red cloth strip from the top of the beam, put it up like a stick and wave his arms back and forth. This was not enough to serve as a signal.
After Tian Feng and the others had rested, Captain Zhang put away the red cloth and explained to the field: "I don't know if it will work. Maybe people in the village can see it, and maybe there is someone pulling a mule to pick us up for a while."
, I saw that both of them were very tired and panicked."
Tian Feng and Li Hongqi's faces turned red. They were stepped on by an older woman.
After walking for about half an hour, someone pulled a mule over the mountainside. The man from afar called Captain Zhang.
Li Hongqi waved: "We are back."
Well, although this person is not as arrogant as he was in the provincial capital, he is more sunny and enthusiastic.
Seeing that there were women and children, the people who came to pick them up were stunned: "If I had known, we would have pushed a cart over."
Captain Zhang: "It's okay, let the guest ride on the mule." He actually asked Tian Feng to ride the mule.
Tian Feng was very embarrassed: "Let their mother-in-law ride on her."
Tian Ye: "No, I don't trust my child to sit on this. It's too high. Third brother, you can sit on your own."
Captain Zhang pulled the mule and told the people to go home quickly: "Prepare some soft food for the two children. They haven't eaten for a long time."
The person who came responded, stepped away and walked away.
Tian Ye: "You see, without the drag of you two, although this mountain ridge is long, it can be climbed in an hour."
Tian Feng was already riding a mule and didn't say anything anymore. Who could he reason with about the leather shoes he was wearing?
I don’t know how Li Hongqi got to this remote corner of the mountain. I’ve never heard of going to the grassroots level. It goes so deep. At most, it’s as close as home in the commune.
I have to ask this guy later.
Looking at the smoke from the kitchen in the distance, you can see a group of low tiled houses coming in and out. This is good, there is actually a house half the size with a stone roof.
As soon as we entered the village, Tian Feng and Tian Feng felt a bitter taste in front of us. We were really poor.
Not to mention that it can't be compared with Shanggang Village, it can't even be compared with the old place in Hongqi Commune.
Surrounded by bare mountains, let Tian Ye say, what are you doing in such a remote place? Let's move. Move them all to the mountain ridge, so as to save road construction.
Captain Zhang: "We have entered the village. We have entered the village. Take a rest now."
Tian Tian: "You're welcome." How can you be rude? This is equivalent to being the God of Wealth, and Tian Tian is still a creditor. How can you be rude?
Captain Zhang's wife and children came out to welcome him: "It's the boss and Hongqi's child who is back."
There were several other families in front of Captain Zhang's house who also let people in lively.
He asked Tian Feng to get on the kang to warm herself up and took off her shoes. Tian Feng felt very embarrassed.
He was very enthusiastic when setting up the table to eat. In the whole room, I didn't even know a few people in the field.
However, the two children fell asleep after eating.
Li Hongqi: "I'll keep an eye on them for you. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
The idea is to let Ye Tian go out for a walk at dawn and look around with Captain Zhang.
Tian Feng: "Red flag, almost done."
Li Hongqi: "Fourth brother, I really have no choice. This place is too poor and it's not easy."
From the oily flowers floating on the egg custard that the two children ate, Tianyang knew that this place was really not wealthy, similar to the year when Shanggang Village suffered a drought.
Captain Zhang's wife brought a large teapot of red dates to soak in water for Tianye: "Girl, try it. We don't have anything good here. We also have two jujube trees. These dates are really sweet."
Tian Tian: "You're welcome, ma'am."
Captain Zhang: "Girl, our place is remote and there is nothing good. I also know that you can't stay. It's not easy for you to come here. I will take you to look around. If you can give me some advice, you can give us some advice."
No, we all appreciate it."
What else can you say? Tian Feng has blisters on his feet and yet he puts on his shoes and wants to go for a walk with Tian Tian. Tian Feng must not be worried if his girl is allowed to follow others everywhere.
Tian Ye: "Uncle, please find a pair of shoes from home for my brother to wear first."
Captain Zhang: "Hey, hey, yes, I have it at home."
Not long after, a new pair of shoes came out. Tian Feng's shoes were neither too big nor too small, just right.
The two brothers followed Captain Zhang around the village. The village was as vast and sparsely populated as Gangang Village. The key was that except for the people in the village, no one wanted to come here to settle down. Girls looked for their husbands outside, but it was hard for a boy to find a wife.
It's hard work. No one wants to come.
Tian Tian really understands that the land is vast and sparsely populated. If the roads are easy to navigate, people can become rich by opening up wasteland and farming. The food these days is really valuable.
Tian Feng had blisters on his feet, but he didn't say a word.
In the evening, Tian Ye and his children stayed at Captain Zhang's house, while Tian Feng and Li Hongqi went to the warehouse to make do.
Although it is said that the property has been distributed to each household, Captain Zhang still has a high prestige in the village. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so it is not just the captain who speaks.
Tian Ye sent some medicine to Tian Feng: "You have it with you. You can apply some on your feet first."
Tian Feng: "After all, your brother and I are also men. My shoes just don't fit today. It's okay."
Tian Ye: "If it weren't for our third mother, could you come over here?"
Tian Feng: "I feel good if I can help and make the village live a better life."
Tian Feng: "But I think the mountain is high enough. I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Tian Ye: "We cannot open up wasteland haphazardly. Soil erosion will also be a problem in the future."
Li Hongqi was confused. Although he was at the grassroots level, what he studied in college had nothing to do with these. These were all new words to him.
Li Hongqi: "Are the chestnut trees still planted?"
Tian Tian: "Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. The horses were like this at that time. Who can tell clearly what will happen in a few years."
Tian Feng: "I think we should build the road first. Otherwise, all the good things will be in vain."
