Sitting on the rickety No. 2 bus, Ye Chenmo's thoughts were flooded, and happy childhood memories flashed through his mind bit by bit along with this familiar scenery.
Ye Chenmo's hometown is in a remote town in Dingjiang City, Nanhai Province. Compared to the whole country, Nanhai Province may have the highest GDP per capita, but not every place is so wealthy.
!Wealth is often in the hands of a few people.
Like Dingjiang City (a county-level city) where Ye Chenmo is from, the high-rise buildings in the urban area are in sharp contrast with the low-rise bungalows in the countryside!
As one of the largest towns in Dingjiang City, Shangye Town's influence is extraordinary. Of course, this can only be used for the slogan of poverty alleviation. After all, under the conditions of great economic development, you are always dragging the city back.
It’s a bit unreasonable!
Shangye Town is located at the southernmost end of Dingjiang City. It is the town with the largest scope and the largest population base in the city. It is bordered by the sea and does not have a suitable dock, which has led to it forming a semi-closed development path.
Most of the villagers in the town, as long as they have some labor force, basically go to other places.
Or working in provinces and districts, the ones left behind are basically women and children. Ye Chenmo knows this very well! Because he can travel north, a large part of the reason is that here, if you are a young man
, always staying at home, for others, that is a great thing!
"Hey!! We've arrived at Shangye Town! Get ready to get off! The terminal!"
A woman in orange-red clothes yelled in a local accent, and at the same time, she did not forget to raise the receipt in her hand, asking those comrades who did not buy the ticket to be careful@!
After getting off the bus, Ye Chenmo felt a little dizzy. This bus of poor quality had a very strong smell of engine oil, which Ye Chenmo was most sensitive to. As long as he smelled a little bit, his stomach would turn upside down! Compared to big cities,
It would be much better! If Ye Chenmo’s BMW hadn’t been put in the city for repairs, he really wouldn’t want to ride in this thing!
"Hey!! Brother Ye...zi!"
Ye Chenmo heard the words and listened, feeling that the voice was a bit familiar!
"Well!! You are... the third son." A young man wearing a gray uniform had a weathered look on his face and a slight beard on his chin. Ye Chenmo was a little unsure. This boy really looked like the follower behind him when he was a child!
"Haha! It's really you, Brother Yezi!"
The young man with a flat head was overjoyed when he heard this. He ran over and wanted to hug Ye Chenmo, but when he saw the neat suit he was wearing, he held it back!
"What a three sons! Oh, they are so big!"
Ye Chenmo didn't care. He pulled the boy over and talked affectionately. He was a little happy when he remembered the interesting things from his childhood. In other words, if Liu Shoudong was an iron brother in the capital, and the man in front of him was
, that was definitely his iron man when he was a child! The relationship was so strong that when he was caught stealing watermelons in other people’s vegetable fields, he could stand silently for Ye Chen! Even when he was in elementary school, there were several fights with him.
The top tank!
"Brother Ye Zi, you haven't been back for several years!"
"Yes, it should have been five years!" Ye Chenmo sighed a little. In order to make money to buy a house in the capital, he had already thrown away a lot!
“Everything is fine at home!”
"Haha, everything is fine. Come on, let's go back early. Master Ye may be very happy!" On the way home, I met Brother Tie. Naturally, he had a lot to say and chatted along the way. Ye
Chen Mo basically only had a general understanding. From what he said, it seemed that most of his playmates when he was young were working hard outside and few came back. The most difficult person to see was Ye Chenmo, which made Ye
Chen Mo felt a little embarrassed...
"Brother Ye Zi, where is your wife? Mr. Ye said that you are about to get married in the capital!"
"Uh!...It's divided!"
Ye Chen smiled silently. He had actually told his grandfather about this, just to prevent him from worrying about major events in his life. But now, he seemed to be a bit self-inflicted.
"What! Divided??...!!" Yang Xiaosan looked at Ye Chenmo with a surprised look on his face, his mouth wide open. Obviously, in this relatively conservative rural area, this was already an incredible event!
"Um... Sanzi, have you already dated a wife?"
"No! Brother Ye Ye, my son is already three years old!"
Ye Chenmo: "..."
Looking at his slightly weathered face, Ye Chenmo was at a loss for a while. He suddenly felt ridiculous! In his memory, the mistress seemed to be more than four years younger than him, and Ye Chenmo was only 28 this year, that is,
Said, this boy is only 24 years old, and his son is three years old! When did he get married? Nineteen, or twenty! At that time, he seemed to be still in college! It is said that children in rural areas have already become the masters, this is shame*
Naked reality!
"Haha, Brother Ye Zi, we have to have a few drinks when we go back later!"
"Okay!" Ye Chen smiled silently. Along the way, the two of them were not far from home. Looking up, the ordinary and familiar small village was faintly in sight!
*****
After walking through a small path across a pond, Ye Chenmo strolled to his home after five years of absence. There were low trees, red brick walls, large black tiles, and even the strips of revolutionary slogans on the walls.
The title words are still so clearly visible!
Just two steps forward, I suddenly heard a dog barking, the sound was very loud and majestic!
"This~ is... Xiaohei!!!" Ye Chenmo couldn't believe it! Five years ago, when he came home, this guy was still a newborn puppy. He didn't expect that he would be so big in a flash.
Xiao Hei originally rushed in front of Ye Chenmo fiercely, with his fangs exposed, but suddenly heard this familiar voice, he suddenly stopped, immediately lowered his head and swung his tail, and jumped to get on Ye Chenmo's body.
.
"Go...go!" Just as he drove Xiao Hei away, he suddenly heard an old voice, and Ye Chenmo was shocked all over!
"grandfather…!!"
The white-haired old man who had just come out was slightly shocked when he heard the sound. He looked carefully and flashed with joy!
"Back!..." Although the old man hid it well, Ye Chenmo could still clearly feel his body trembling slightly.
"Hmm!!..." Ye Chenmo quickly walked up to support his grandfather. He had a feeling that today's grandfather is much older than he was five years ago! At least, his head is full of white hair, which is proof!
“It’ll be good to come back, it’ll be good to come back!…”
Hearing his grandfather's muttering to himself, Ye Chen felt silently sad from the bottom of his heart. He really should have come back early!! Let an old man in his sixties live alone in the countryside. How could he be a filial son?
for!
Mr. Ye is a revolutionary of the older generation and has been a veteran for many years. I heard that during the Anti-Japanese War, the wife her family arranged for her passed away. After that, she never married and had no children until later.
, the situation got a little better after adopting Ye Chenmo! These are all what Ye Chenmo heard from other old people when he was a child. Although they are very few! But Ye Chenmo will remember them for the rest of his life!
