The village is still the same as before, as if it has never changed.
The familiar green water and green mountains, the familiar fresh air.
The only difference between this time and last time is that the atmosphere in the village has become quieter.
Rather than saying that it has become quiet, it is better to say that everyone in the village has left, and there are not many people left.
The reason why it is so lively during the Chinese New Year is that many people who work outside have come back during this festival.
In recent years, more and more people have gone out to work, and everyone has become more accustomed to life in the outside world.
In the first two years, you may still rush home, but as time goes by, the longing for home will become less and less.
Since those energetic young people left, Qingxia Village has not only become lifeless, but the whole village has been covered with a layer of dust.
The trees outside were wilted by the sun, and their heads were drooping.
The small stones on the road are also scattered one by one, so dry that the wind can blow up a cloud of sand.
This sand drifted throughout the village in the wind, covering the village with a grayish color.
Yang Ling saw the changes in the village and felt emotional in her heart.
"You said that in today's world, nothing is easy."
Yang Jianqiang looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
"Our village used to be very lively when there were a lot of people. What a big and strong two dogs. Those two guys usually idle around and like to make trouble. They go around fishing and fishing. They are so noisy and annoying."
"But now that there are no more people, suddenly the whole village is empty and deserted. It always feels like something is missing."
Yang Ling comforted his father and said.
"Ah, the world is like this. There are opportunities to make money outside, and everyone always wants to go out. No one wants to stay in this mountain village all his life, being a farmer all his life, making little money and being isolated from the world."
Yang Jianqiang shook his head and said.
"You can't make money, but people lived their lives in the same way in the past. It doesn't mean that people can't live without money. The thinking of young people now is completely different from that of the older generation."
"Times are progressing."
Yang Ling said that the family's car had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
The stone road in the village is still so narrow that it cannot support their car driving in.
Yang Ling followed the old rules and parked the car outside, right at the entrance of the village.
Under the old banyan tree at the entrance of the village, many old people in the village were sitting there, silently looking at the scenery outside.
For them, it seems that the only way left is to keep silently in the village.
When Yang Ling came back last time, maybe nothing happened. Although he saw a lot of familiar old faces, he didn't say hello much, which left a deep impression on people.
Yang Ling was fully prepared when she came back this time.
On the one hand, there are some elderly people in the village who have helped their families a lot in the past.
Yang Ling's business has grown now, and she always wants to give back to her hometown.
On the other hand, it's actually simpler.
Because both my father and aunt have deep feelings for their hometown.
So Yang Ling also wanted to leave a good impression on the folks in his hometown.
If my father wanted to stay at home in the future, at least he would have someone to take care of him.
Yang Ling rode two large bags of things by himself, and Su Yi also helped to carry them.
As soon as he got off the car, Yang Ling immediately walked towards the crowded place.
"Oh, isn't this Uncle Qi?"
"Why are you playing chess here? How are you doing? I want to see if you can do this."
"Third Master! You see, it's not easy for you to still be in such good spirits at such an old age."
"Sixth Aunt, your child will go to junior high school in the second half of the year. I just happened to bring a set of stationery. You can take it home for your grandson."
"Uncle Xiao Hong? Why are you at home too?"
…
Yang Ling came back this time as if he was a new person and acted very enthusiastic.
When Yang Ling came back before, he didn't talk that much to the villagers.
The villagers had heard that Yang Ling had made a fortune outside, and they thought that Yang Ling, the big boss, would definitely ignore them when he came back.
But I didn't expect that this big boss would greet them so warmly, as if he treated them as family, which was very surprising.
"Yang Ling? Why are your family back?"
"I heard that your family is now doing business outside, and the big ones have gone abroad!"
"Really or not? I really think there are many people abroad who report on your company's business, and they really make our Qingxia Village look bad!"
After hearing these compliments, Yang Ling smiled and nodded.
"It's all thanks to everyone's support that I can reach today step by step. When I was in the village, without everyone helping each other, I, Yang Ling, wouldn't be able to live such a healthy life, right?"
Yang Ling's compliments greatly benefited the villagers.
"Look, this kid is really getting better and better at talking."
"No, that person is a big boss. If you think about a person who is a big boss, he must be very good at talking!"
Because his son's performance was so outstanding, Yang Jianqiang didn't have many opportunities to perform.
Yang Ling bought milk powder, various health products, and a lot of school supplies and other messy things. Anyway, she bought a lot.
As long as the villagers can use things, Yang Ling has taken all of them into consideration and has them all, buying whatever they want.
We also bought a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil and sent them to the homes of the folks.
It is also because there are really not many people left in the countryside. Giving these old people some grain and oil can also make their lives more comfortable.
Once this is done, everyone in the village will know that the Yang Ling family has returned to the village.
Many people even called to inform outsiders, saying that Yang Ling had returned to the village and was very wealthy, handing out things to everyone.
Yang Jianqiang's originally depressed mood was gradually lost amidst the compliments from the villagers.
"Lao Yang, you said you are so lucky to have given birth to such a good son in this life!"
"Not only is he capable, but if you look at the principles of life, he can also learn it faster than anyone else. This kid will be capable in the future. You will be blessed when you get old!"
"Don't wait until you get old. Lao Yang is thinking about Fu right now. Look at how ambitious their children are. They can earn so much money every year that they won't be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes."
The wine table at Lao Chen’s house next door.
Yang Jianqiang was poured wine one mouthful at a time, but the smile on his face never broke.
"Everyone has grown up watching Xiao Ling, whatever he does, and the money he earns is for the construction of the village."
