1183 The Changes In My Hometown And The Unfinished Xixi (2/3)
Chapter 1183 The Changes in My Hometown and the Unfinished Xixi (23)
"My hometown is really different every day! Every time I come back, I feel that it has changed a lot!" In the car, Murphy, who was teaching the two older children, Xixi and Lanxin, by pointing at the crops outside, couldn't help it. He turned his head and said to Yang Yi with emotion.
is not that right?
More than two years ago, when Murphy and Yang Yi returned to their hometown for the first time, Wudaokou Village was still a small village located in a remote mountain depression, with no traffic or information available! Even if Yang Yi was driving an off-road Balang pickup, it took a long time to bump all the way, and he arrived at his hometown near dawn.
But now, Yang Yi drove his wife and children, and a snack back home. It took less than an hour and a half from the county town along a straight road, and he arrived at the entrance of the village easily and comfortably.
Of course, this change had already been realized a year ago. The new change that Murphy was amazed at was the overall new plan of Wudaokou Village!
Thanks to the business cooperation between Wudaokou Village and Sahara Online Mall over the years, both the village-run company and every household in the village have made a lot of money.
The money earned by the collective enterprises run by the village, in addition to a part of the Chinese New Year dividends, is also invested in the construction of the village road network inside the village. In addition, the village also invested in leveling a large square with concrete floors at the village gate.
This is not yet the cultural square in the village. The cultural square is located at the martial arts field where Yang Chonggui taught kung fu. It is said that construction will start next month. The square at the entrance of the village that Murphy sees now is a logistics site for Wudaokou Village or other surrounding villages to sell agricultural products to the outside world.
Now it's the peanut harvest season. I saw two or three big trucks from Sahara Express and three or four big trucks from other dealers parked in the square, while the farmers were shouting at the bullock carts with smiles on their faces. Or, if possible, they drove a light truck, loaded with loads of peanuts, and came from all directions.
Smart people even set up a small pergola around the square, and sold some good products to relieve the heat, such as iced mineral water, watermelon, and homemade juice, but many drivers came to patronize.
This bustling scene is not comparable to that in the county or the town, but in Murphy's view, it has already brought infinite vitality and hope to the small village of Wudaokou!
Yang Yi drove the car carefully, avoiding a small pickup truck that passed by without unloading, and then said to Murphy with a smile: "These are all thanks to Qingzi and his young people. Do……"
Before Yang Yi could finish his sentence, his car took a look around the square, and when he was about to drive into the intersection of the village, a yellow and black fence gate appeared under the village gate of "Wudaokou Village" in front of him!
"Hey, there is a traffic jam here. Does it mean that cars outside are not allowed to enter?" Yang Yi said to himself in surprise, he slowed down the speed of the car, and slowly stopped in front of the barrier.
Xixi couldn't sit still, the little girl couldn't help pulling on her seat belt when she heard what her father said, she tried her best to stand up, and looked out from the middle to see what her father was talking about.
Just now because of the terrain, Yang Yi didn't see the situation at the gate of the village. It turned out that besides the gate, there was a security booth at the back. Hearing the movement of the car, an old man in his sixties who was reading a newspaper inside left. He came out, holding a newspaper, and slowly walked over from the sidewalk next to him, wanting to see whose car it was and why it came.
However, Yang Yi found the old man's information from his memory. He pressed the car window and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Xiting!"
Dong Xiting is also a member of Dong Yue'e's clan. The old man can't do farm work anymore, but he doesn't want to stay at home for the elderly. It is probably for this reason that he was hired by the village to look at the gate.
Dong Xiting was a bit presbyopic, and he had to get closer to recognize Yang Yi. The old man smiled pleasantly and said, "Tiezi! You're back? Huh? Another car! I remember that when you came back during the Spring Festival, you didn't drive this car. car."
"Uncle Xiting's memory is really good!" Yang Yi smiled and said, "There are more people coming back this time, so I changed one."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Dong Xiting quickly went back to help Yang Yi open the gate to let him go.
Yang Yi had just figured out why this barrier was set up. While driving, he explained to Murphy, who didn't understand their local accent: "It turns out that some dealers used to drive the truck directly out of convenience. I went to the village to receive the goods, but the road conditions in the village were complicated. Once I knocked over the ox cart and almost crushed people, so now I set up a gate at the entrance of the village to prevent the carts and outside cars from entering the village casually. The cars are arranged in the square we saw just now."
Murphy suddenly realized, and said with some emotion: "This is the right way to deal with it. Otherwise, Xixi and Xin'er are playing in the village. I really don't worry about them running around with other children. How dangerous it is!"
Not only that, Yang Yi drove all the way in, and at every intersection, he had to carefully drive over two speed bumps. Even if the chassis of his car was well tuned, a series of vibrations still shook Xixi and Lan Xin behind him. , so annoying!
But this is all for the sake of safety! In order to deal with these speed bumps, Yang Yi will take the initiative to reduce the speed every time, which can naturally prevent collisions with motorcycles that suddenly drive out of the intersection or children who run out.
The six-meter-wide branch roads in the village can be considered so delicate. No wonder Yang Yi heard from Yang Huan that when the village changes next year, Dong Qi plans to step back to the second line, and everyone plans to elect Yang Qing as the new village head!
Of course, this shaking was a fresh and interesting experience for Lan Xin and Xixi.
The two little girls were staggering in the back seat, you fell on me for a while, and I fell for you for a while, giggling for fun.
However, Xixi's laughter stopped suddenly, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, I saw little aunt!"
"Where is it? Where is Sister Huanhuan?" Lan Xin's loud voice also lit up, and she squeezed into Xixi enthusiastically, looking over from the middle.
"It's at the door! Look, that's our home." Xixi responded crisply.
Lan Xin opened her round eyes and recognized her: "I saw sister Huanhuan too! But this is your home? Hey, I don't even remember."
"I remember, because I only came back during the Chinese New Year!" Xixi smiled and said, "Look here, when we came back from the Chinese New Year, Uncle Huang's next door had just built this little house!"
Xixi was referring to the small two-story western-style building next door to the Yang family. Most families in the village have started to build buildings now. After all, their pockets are rich, and everyone wants to build a house for future generations to marry a wife now or in the future!
The two little girls were chatting chatteringly, but unfortunately, the car windows on their side could not be opened, so Xixi could only wait for Yang Yi to drive the car into the yard and stop, and Murphy unfastened their seat belts. Can't wait to jump out of the car.
The little girl rushed towards Yang Huan with cheers, and said coquettishly, "Little aunt, what are you doing, why did you come back earlier than us?"
Yang Huan could only bend down and hug her, and said with a smile, "Because I'm on vacation just like you!"
"Did you spend the summer vacation too? You are already an adult!" Lan Xin yelled from behind.
Yang Huan laughed, and she deliberately shouted to Lan Xin: "Why can't I spend the summer vacation? I'm still a student!"
"You're still a student? But you're an adult now! You already have a job...I saw you on TV." Lan Xin scratched her head and said puzzledly.
"Hee hee, Xin'er, my little aunt is still studying! She, what is her name, a college student, and we are elementary school students!" Xixi enthusiastically explained to her little friend, she seemed to know more, "But Xin Son, let me tell you, it’s not because my little aunt is older than us and she’s a college student..."
But at this time, Yang Chonggui and Dong Yue'e also came out, Xixi didn't care to continue explaining to Lan Xin, and cheered and rushed to her grandpa who loved her so much.
"Ah? Wait, Xixi, you haven't finished yet! Why is that?" Lan Xin asked aloud in a panic after hearing half of it.
Xixi hugged her grandfather's hand before turning her head, and continued to say happily, "Hee hee! Xin'er, because my little aunt is studying in university! Then we..."
The explanation was lively here, and Murphy also got out of the car with Xiaotong in his arms. Xiaotong couldn't remember what his grandpa's house looked like. He hugged his mother's neck nervously while looking around with big eyes. , looking at the grandma who came up with a smile.
Oh, by the way, Xiao Tongtong also saw under the eaves behind her grandma, a little boy who was younger than herself and was playing on the tiled floor in crotch pants!
