"My hometown is really different every day! Every time I come back, I feel like it has changed a lot! " In the car, Murphy, who was pointing at the crops outside to teach Xi Xi and Lan Xin, couldn't help but turn her head and say to Yang Yi with emotion.
Wasn't that right?
More than two years ago, when Murphy first went back to her hometown with Yang Yi, Wudaokou Village was still a small village located in a remote mountain valley. Whether it was transportation or information, it was a little inaccessible! Even if Yang Yi was driving a Tyrant Wolf pickup truck that could go off-road, it took a long time to get back to their hometown near dawn.
Now, Yang Yi was driving his wife and children, as well as a little foodie, back home. From the county town, along a straight road, it took less than an hour and a half to arrive at the entrance of the village.
Of course, this change had been realized a year ago. The new change that surprised Murphy was the overall new plan of Wudaokou Village!
Thanks to the business cooperation between Wudaokou Village and the Sahara Online Mall over the years, whether it was the village-run company or the families in the village, they all made a lot of money.
The money earned by the village-run collective enterprises, in addition to the New Year dividends, was invested in the construction of the village's internal road network. In addition, the village also funded the leveling of a large square with a cement floor at the village entrance.
This was not the village's cultural square. The cultural square was located at the original martial arts practice field where Yang Chonggui taught kung fu. It was said that the construction would start next month. The village square that Murphy saw now was a logistics station for Wudaokou Village or other surrounding villages to sell agricultural products to the outside world.
It was the peanut harvest season. Two or three large trucks from the Sahara Express and three or four large trucks from other dealers were parked in the square. The farmers, on the other hand, were smiling as they called for their ox carts or drove their light trucks to carry their peanuts from all directions.
The smart people also set up small shelters around the square to sell some iced mineral water, watermelons, homemade juice, and other products to relieve the heat. Many drivers came to patronize.
The bustling scene could not be compared to the county or town, but in Murphy's opinion, it had already brought infinite vitality and hope to the small village of Wudaokou!
Yang Yi drove carefully, avoiding a small pickup truck that had unloaded its cargo and left easily. Then, he smiled and said to Murphy, "This is all thanks to Qing Zi and the other young people. They dared to think and do it …"
Before Yang Yi could finish, his car circled around the square. Just as he was about to enter the village, a yellow-and-black fence appeared under the village gate of Wudaokou Village in front of him!
"Eh, there's a barrier here. Is it to prevent outside cars from entering?" Yang Yi muttered to himself in surprise. He slowed down the car and slowly stopped in front of the barrier.
Xi Xi couldn't sit still. When the little girl heard what her father said, she couldn't help but pull the seat belt and try to sit up. She stuck her head out from the middle to see what her father was talking about.
Because of the terrain, Yang Yi didn't see the situation at the village gate. It turned out that in addition to the barrier, there was a security booth behind it. Hearing the sound of the car, an old man in his sixties who was reading a newspaper walked out from the booth. He held the newspaper and slowly walked over from the pedestrian passageway, wanting to see whose car it was and why it came.
Yang Yi found the old man's information from his memory. He pressed down the window and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Xiting!"
Dong Xiting was also from Dong Yuee's side. The old man couldn't do farm work anymore, but he didn't want to retire at home. Probably because of this reason, he was hired by the village to guard the gate.
Dong Xiting was a little presbyopic, so he had to get closer to recognize Yang Yi. The old man smiled in surprise, "Tiezi! You're back? Eh? You changed your car again! I remember that when you came back during the Spring Festival, you didn't drive this car. "
"Uncle Xiting, you have a good memory!" Yang Yi smiled and said, "There are more people coming back this time, so I changed my car."
After chatting for a while, Dong Xiting quickly went back to help Yang Yi open the barrier.
Yang Yi also just figured out why this gate was set up. While driving, he explained to Mo Fei, who didn't quite understand their local accent, "I see. Previously, some dealers were greedy for convenience and drove their trucks directly to the village to collect goods, but the road conditions in the village are complicated. Once, an ox cart was knocked over, and it almost crushed a person. So now they have set up a checkpoint at the entrance of the village to prevent big cars and other cars from entering the village. All the big cars are arranged in the square we saw just now."
Murphy suddenly understood and said with some emotion, "This is the right way to deal with it. Otherwise, if Xi Xi and Xin Er were playing in the village, I would be worried about them running around with other children. It's so dangerous!"
Not only that, but Yang Yi also had to drive carefully through two speed bumps at every intersection. Even though the chassis of his car was well adjusted, the series of vibrations still made Xi Xi and Lan Xin, who were behind him, sway from side to side. It was very annoying!
However, this was all for the sake of safety! In order to deal with these speed bumps, Yang Yi would take the initiative to reduce the speed every time. Naturally, this would also prevent them from colliding with motorcycles or children running out of the intersection.
The six-meter-wide road in the village was actually so meticulous. It was no wonder that Yang Yi heard from Yang Huan that Dong Qi was going to retire to the second line of the village next year, and everyone was going to elect Yang Qing as the new village chief!
Of course, this shaking was a new and interesting experience for Lan Xin and Xi Xi.
The two girls swayed in the back seat, one leaning against the other, and the next, they giggled.
However, Xi Xi's laughter suddenly stopped. She shouted in surprise, "Hey, I see Little Auntie!"
"Where is she? Where is Sister Huanhuan? "Lan Xin's loud voice also lit up. She enthusiastically squeezed together with Xi Xi and looked over from the middle.
"At the door! Look, that's our home, "Xixi replied in a crisp voice.
Lan Xin widened her round eyes and tried to identify her. "I saw Sister Huanhuan too! But this is your home? Sigh, I don't remember. "
"I remember, because I just came back during the Spring Festival!" Xi Xi giggled and said, "Look here, when we came back during the Spring Festival, Uncle Huang's family next door had just built this small house!"
Xi Xi was referring to the two-story Western-style house next to the Yang family's house. Most families in the village had started to build houses now. After all, they were rich, and everyone wanted to build houses for their children and grandchildren to marry now or in the future!
The two girls chatted happily. Unfortunately, they couldn't open the car window. They could only wait for Yang Yi to drive into the yard and stop the car. Murphy unbuckled their seatbelts, and Xi Xi couldn't wait to jump out of the car.
The little girl cheered and threw herself at Yang Huan. She said coquettishly in a sticky voice, "Little Auntie, why did you come back earlier than us?"
Yang Huan could only bend over and hug her. She smiled and said, "Because I'm on vacation like you guys!"
"You're going to have summer vacation too? You're an adult! "Lan Xin shouted from behind.
Yang Huan laughed. She deliberately shouted at Lan Xin, "Why can't I have summer vacation? I'm still a student! "
"You're still a student? But you're already an adult! You have a job … I saw you on TV. "Lan Xin scratched her head and said confusedly.
"Hee hee, Xin Er, my little auntie is still a student! She, she's a college student, and we're elementary school students! " Xi Xi explained for her friend enthusiastically. She seemed to know more. "But Xin Er, let me tell you, it's not because my little auntie is older than us that she's a college student …"
But at this time, Yang Chonggui and Dong Yuee came out. Xi Xi didn't have time to explain to Lan Xin. She cheered and threw herself at her grandpa, who loved her very much.
"Ah? Wait, Xi Xi, you haven't finished yet! Why is that? "Lan Xin heard half of the story and became anxious. She asked loudly.
Xi Xi hugged her grandpa's hand and turned around. She continued to say excitedly, "Hee hee! Xin Er, it's because my little auntie is a college student! Then we … "
While the explanation was going on, Mo Fei also got out of the car with little Momo in her arms. Little Momo couldn't remember what grandpa's house looked like. While holding her mother's neck nervously, she looked around with her big eyes and looked at her grandma who came up to greet her with a smile.
Oh, right, Xiao Suao also saw a little boy who was even younger than her, wearing open-crotch pants and sitting on the tiled floor playing under the eaves behind Granny!
