Donkey Head Town.

This is where Yang Bin grew up.

Everything is full of childhood and unruly memories of youth.

More than ten years have passed, and the entire China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Yunfeng City is also changing with each passing day. However, Dutou Town has not changed much, and it is still the Dutou Town in Yang Bin's memory.

A cross-shaped street is the center of the entire Lutou Town, market, bus station, police station, and town government are all concentrated in this neighborhood, so messy that it is still no different from what I remembered more than ten years ago.

The fields and the scenery of the town are not all as beautiful as described in movies or novels. The impression that Dutou Town gives Yang Bin is always poor, messy and dirty.

"Why is this so messy?" Tang Wen couldn't help but give a brief overview. It seemed a little different from the pastoral scenery she imagined.

When she was abroad, Tang Wen often went out to play. The beautiful scenery was fascinating and lingering. However, in Lutou Town, she only saw dirtier and poorer than Yunsha County.

"It's very poor here." Yang Bin explained to Tang Wen.

"Are people here lazy? Otherwise, why are they so poor?" Tang Wen finished speaking without restraint, and felt that this seemed a little wrong.

"No. Because Dutou Town is extremely short of water, the wind and clouds are blocked by that mountain. There are rare precipitation several times in a year, and Dutou Town on the other side is always flooded by rain. Therefore, both sides are not suitable for living, but Dutou Town can grow crops at least, but there are often no grass here." Yang Bin pointed to Dutou Mountain in the distance, which is this mountain, forming a completely opposite weather between Dutou Town and Dutou Town.

"Why don't you drill a few wells if you lack water?" Tang Wen curled her lips, always feeling that poverty is still because of laziness.

"There is no rain, no water underground, and it is useless to dig wells. It would be nice to have one well in ten wells that can get water." Yang Bin shook his head: "The drought makes the fields without harvesting particles, the transportation here is not good, and industrial commerce cannot develop. There is no harvest in the fields, and there is no factory. Young people go out to work, and all the people are left behind are the elderly, weak, women and children. All of them have not changed much for more than ten years, but they are getting poorer and poorer."

"That's right." Tang Wen nodded in a vague way. She really had no idea about these things.

Tang Wen slept with Yang Bin last night and woke up at around 9 o'clock in the morning. After washing and eating, Yang Bin originally said to take her to Lutou Mountain to play, but she suggested going to Lutou Town to see what Yang Bin looked like when she grew up, so Yang Bin drove her here.

When the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus arrived in Lutou Town, it was almost noon. After that, Tang Wen was about to walk on the street, so Yang Bin stopped the car and looked for an opportunity to put it in the car trough, leading Tang Wen and Gu Zhan to wander around the street and serve as guides for them.

The Cross Street went west and walked to the end. It was only two or three hundred meters away. It was the location of Lutou Town Middle School. The dilapidated iron gate was just a cover. Through the large iron gate, you can see a shadow wall standing inside, with a wall painting on it, which looked like several Young Pioneers saluting on the side.

The eight big characters "Study hard, and move up every day" are written below the wall painting. The painting and the big characters were originally golden, and the red lacquer paintings are already mottled, and it seems that they have been a long time ago.

Every time I go back to Dutou Town, when I see this scene, Yang Bin feels like a different life.

No matter how poor, dirty, or rotten this place is where he was born and raised, he could not dislike it. He always had a wish in his heart, that is, one day he could change the poverty here and make the people in the town rich.

"There is a grocery store over there, which sells ice cream in summer. Every time Xiaolan and I walk here, Xiaolan looks at the ice cream shop with eager eyes and wants to buy ice cream. I have no money, so I have to coax her and say that I can exchange money for picking up glass, so... her attention is all focused on the broken glass on the ground."

"At that time, she was only three or four years old. She picked up a large glass piece behind her back. The small glass piece in front disappeared. After picking up it, she always had only one glass piece left in her hand. But because of picking up the glass piece, she forgot about the ice cream." Yang Bin and Tang Wen talked, and there were his memories everywhere here.

Tang Wen listened quietly, as if listening to a long-standing legend. Life here is too far away from her, just like two worlds.

"Later, my mother found out, and asked her why she picked up glass pieces. She pointed at me with her little finger... My brother said that glass pieces could be exchanged for money to buy ice cream."

"Mom started crying, then took her to the ice cream shop and bought her a ice cream..."

"Xiaolan bite two bites of ice cream, then ran to me with a tiptoe and smiled, and handed the ice cream to me. She was reluctant but still said to me very persistently... Brother, you eat it very sweet and delicious."

"When she was very young, she knew that there were delicious foods to give to others, especially the first thing she thought of was me."

Yang Bin looked at a grocery store diagonally opposite the school gate and murmured to Tang Wen. When he told this scene to Tang Wen, he felt as if time had turned back to the moment when the two children were looking for broken glass on the ground.

His eyes began to get wet.

Tang Min looked at Yang Bin quietly, looking at the light flashing in his eyes. Now this him made her unable to help but recall the one who sang "I don't love anymore, my heart never hurts again", the one who was so lonely and sad that she broke her heart.

She could see that he actually valued feelings, but she had never been able to make herself within the scope of the target that he could value. She could not let his eyes desolate for her, sad for her, and shine for her.

"Then is where I go to elementary school." Yang Bin pointed to the direction next to the south again.

The distance between the gate of the town middle school south to the primary school is only about 100 meters, and it should be less than two minutes away. But in Yang Bin's memory, he and Yang Lan always walk for a long time on this road. Maybe it was because they had not grown up at that time and were relatively small, so they felt that the road was very long.

Just like in his memory, the street was long, but now it is so short that he feels almost unbelievable.

"Oh? I'll find some time to go there and take a look after it later." Tang Wen was obviously very interested in this... She really wanted to understand everything about him, every trajectory of his past twenty-four years of life.

Gu Zhan kept following the two of them with a smile, not saying much. He had experienced Yang Bin's life, but said that... the place where he was in his childhood was still a little richer than this Dutou Town.

Indeed, it is difficult to get rich in a town with extremely water scarcity and inconvenient transportation, and the pastoral scenery cannot be beautiful. Unless the government makes a big investment in this place, builds roads to improve traffic, builds reservoirs to store water and farms, or digs a canal from the other side of the mountain to bring water to the place, there will never be a day of improvement here.

However, there are too many places that need construction and investment in Yunfeng City, and the Yunfeng Municipal Government will never have the spare money to invest in this place. Even if Yunfeng City has money to allocate to Yunsha County, Yunsha County will not be able to invest in Lutou Town.

Poverty here is almost destined, unless there is the kind of person who has the ability to use power to change all this.

The old house of the Yang family did not enter through the gate of the town middle school, but took the road north of the gate. About fifty meters away, there was another small door. Entering through this small door was where the teachers in the town middle school were.

More than ten years ago, this was a wasteland and was allocated to the town middle school. When it was originally designed, it was originally intended to build a teaching staff dormitory building. However, in the later stage, the town middle school simply asked for a piece of land from the town and then allocated it to each teacher according to the quota, asking them to raise money to build the house by themselves.

At that time, the land was not worth much, and Yang Bin's parents were both teachers in the town middle school, so they divided a relatively large piece of land, which looked like nearly 200 square meters. At that time, the laborers in the town were very cheap. Yang's father and mother asked someone to build two houses, and later built a half-person-high courtyard wall next to the land, and then lived there.

I lived in this place for more than ten years and the house has not been renovated. Yang Bin's childhood and youth memories have been in this small yard for more than ten years.

Although Lutou Town is still very poor, the land price has risen a little. Last time, Yang Bin's parents sold the house and gave money to Meng Renkuan, the old Zhao family across the road was interested in the land where their house was located, not the house on that land.

There is a three-meter-wide path between the Zhao family and the Yang family. The end of the path is blocked by a wall. If the Zhao family bought the Yang family's land, the path will become the Zhao family, and there will be an additional 50 or 60 square meters out of thin air.

The Yang family proposed to sell the house and was in a hurry to take action. Of course, the Zhao family was extremely happy. Although they only bought the Yang family's yard, they could occupy an extra piece of land out of thin air after demolishing the walls of the two families, which was considered a great value for money. So as soon as the Yang family proposed, the Zhao family agreed.

"There is a jujube tree planted at home, which is a bit taller. There are many caterpillars on the tree. Xiaolan is afraid of insects and dare not climb trees. After the dates are ripe, they always pester me like worms all day long, and ask me to pick dates on the tree for her to eat." Yang Bin walked towards the house along the path while talking to Tang Wen.

"Do you have dates now?" Tang Wen was a little greedy when Yang Bin said it. The scene Yang Bin described made her yearn for it very much.

"The jujube circle is red on the fifteenth day of July, and the jujube falls on the fifteenth day of August. Where can there be dates now? The dates will not mature until the Mid-Autumn Festival." Yang Bin shook his head.
