Wu Fei's hometown is located in a place called Qingfeng County in the central part of Southern Province, and Wu Fei's home is still fifty or sixty kilometers away from the county seat.

Qingfeng County is a nationally impoverished county registered with the National Poverty Alleviation Office. In recent years, with the development of the economy and the national poverty alleviation allocation, the entire county has achieved access to every village, tourism development has also achieved initial results, and the economic situation is much better than before.

At least as far as Wu Fei knew, most people in their village had some savings, and some even bought houses in the county.

Of course, there are also some people who are lazy and want to spend the money they earn, but no one can save them.

It is also a county with a large population. It has a population of more than 1.5 million in more than 3,000 square kilometers of land.

Although the area is not small, the per capita cultivated area is not large, and mountainous land accounts for a large part. For example, the cultivated land area for the four people in Wu Fei's family is 9 acres per person in paddy fields, 2 acres per person in dry land, and there are some mountainous wastelands.

, everything depends on the weather. In years when the weather is bad, you won’t be able to get back the money you spent planting the seeds.

As young people go out to work, the elderly in the family tend to the land in front of and behind the house that is easy to irrigate. Other dry land and mountainous land are abandoned. If there is no money, who will go back to take care of it. Those who are more diligent can do it.

Plant some cheap saplings.

There is no high-speed rail directly from Shenzhen to the county seat, so Wu Fei had no choice but to transfer to the provincial capital. He set off from Shencheng in the morning and got off the high-speed rail at Qingfeng in the afternoon. He quickly called a taxi and rushed to the county seat.

Every time he went on a high-speed rail trip, Wu Fei couldn't help but complain. Those who set up high-speed rail stations 60 kilometers away from the county town were in trouble. The high-speed rail station seemed to be outside the boundaries of Qingfeng County. This made Wu Fei even more worried.

What is speechless is that his home and the high-speed rail station are at opposite ends of the county, and they are more than 100 kilometers away from the high-speed rail station. Therefore, Wu Fei rarely takes the high-speed rail when he goes home, preferring to drive home when he is tired. Fortunately, thanks to the national village

According to the village-to-village policy, roads were also built to Wu Fei's village.

The roads in the mountainous area are winding and narrow. When the car drove into Longshan Village, the sun had already set. In this season, it is extremely hot in the city, but in the mountains the evening of July is the most comfortable time of the day. On the road,

Several cattle herders were driving their cattle home. A few large buffaloes with bloated bellies were walking leisurely on the road, paying no attention to the horns of the cars following them.

Wu Fei remembered that there was only one family in the village that raised buffaloes. It was Mr. Wu, a five-guaranteed household in the village. He had no children and seemed to be over 60 years old. Apart from growing some vegetables throughout the year, he only watched a few buffaloes at other times.

Our buffaloes are also obedient and will often go home by themselves when they are full. At this time, people still don’t know where to drink and talk about the mountains.

The house at home could be seen in the distance. Wu Fei asked the driver to stop the car and walked back not far. Anyway, he didn't have much luggage, just a sports backpack with a few changes of clothes in it.

The phone in my pocket rang, but it was my mother at home calling.

"Mom, I'm in the village. I'll be home soon. I've already seen you. I'm behind Uncle Wu's group of buffaloes." Wu Fei saw from a distance that his mother Liu Xiaohui was standing in the yard making a phone call.

The little girl was running around behind a group of chickens. She was her sister's daughter.

He quickly walked into the house and put the handle into his room. The room was neat and tidy, it must be because my mother cleans it often.

"Mom, where is my dad? Where has he gone? Is the meal ready?" Wu Fei asked as he walked back to the yard.

"Duoduo, come on, call me uncle. Do you still remember uncle?" I haven't been home for more than two years. At that time, the little guy who was walking staggeringly was already over 4 years old. When he saw a strange uncle walking towards him, he hurriedly ran to

Next to the grandmother, Wu Fei looked at him without saying a word.

"Your dad went to the village committee for a meeting, has he come back yet? He went there right after lunch. The meeting should be over now. He has to go home for dinner. Your sister is cooking, so just make some soup." Mother Wu

He said to Wu Fei, "Duoduo, call me uncle. This is your uncle. Call me uncle. I'll ask your uncle to buy you toys later."

"Uncle, I want a toy." Wu Fei couldn't help laughing when he heard Xiao Duoduo's words. The child was so cute. He couldn't help but pick him up and kiss his rosy little face.

Who knew that the little guy was not happy anymore and said: "The teacher said girls can't be kissed casually." As he said that, he wiped his face twice with his little hands. Wu Fei and Wu's mother couldn't help but laugh.

Got up.

I walked into the kitchen with Xiao Duoduo in my arms and found my sister Wu Li serving dishes.

"Mom, my uncle kissed me. The teacher said that no strangers can kiss Duoduo except for my parents, grandparents, and grandparents." Wu Fei hadn't spoken yet, but the little guy complained first.

It turns out that this little uncle is still a stranger in her eyes. After saying that, she broke away from Wu Fei's hand and pulled Wu Li's clothes, "Mom, give me a hug."

"This is your uncle. Mom told you before. Your uncle used to hug you when you were very young. Have you forgotten?" Wu Li touched the little guy's head and said.

"Sister, where is my brother-in-law? Why haven't you come back after dinner?" Wu Fei asked.

Wu Fei's brother-in-law Zhang Yibin is also from Longshan Village. He is the same age as Wu Li. They can be said to be childhood sweethearts. They went to the same school from elementary school to high school.

Zhang Yibin's parents died early, so he managed to finish high school with the help of his uncle. Originally, Zhang Yibin's grades allowed him to attend a key university.

When he got the college admission notice, Zhang Yibin cried hard, put the notice under the box, and went out to work with the people in the village the next day. Among the people who went out to work, there were

Wu Fei's sister.

The two got married the year Wu Fei graduated from high school. Shortly after the two got married, little Duoduo was born, and it was inconvenient to go out.

The two families are very close to each other, and Wu Fei takes care of Duo Duo most of the time, so my sister Wu Li rarely has a fire at her house, and usually eats at Wu Fei's house.

Later, Wu Fei made money outside, so he bought a truck for his brother-in-law Zhang Yibin, and he helped people pull things at home. Although it was a bit tiring, he made a lot of money, and he could also take care of the family.

"I'm helping the people in the next village pull gravel. To build a house, your brother-in-law helped pull the bricks and gravel. I'll do it this afternoon and I'll be back soon." As he spoke, the table was already full of vegetables.

Knowing that Wu Fei was coming back, he prepared a sumptuous dinner. Pagoda eel, fried rooster with cedar mushroom (the cedar mushroom is a kind of wild mushroom that grows on the 3rd and 9th of the lunar calendar), steamed rice noodles and peppers (choose large fresh peppers to wash)

Clean, and then expose the raw chili peppers until they turn white in sunny weather. Make a hole in the head, hollow out the inside of the chili pepper, mix the glutinous rice flour and meat evenly, pour it into the chili pepper, and then put it in a clay pot to seal and store it.

After one to two months, when the chili peppers are slightly sour, you can eat them), green peppers, dried fish, and taro soup, which whetted Wu Fei's appetite and ate three large bowls in a row. Xiao Duoduo was impressed by the sight.

, he told me how awesome his uncle was. He made the whole family laugh non-stop.

After dinner, the whole family sat on the sofa and watched cartoons with Xiao Duoduo. They chatted about household chores at the same time.

"Xiao Fei, I heard from your Uncle Zhang that you were sick some time ago, why didn't you tell your mother?" Wu's mother, who was the first to speak, said reproachfully to Wu Fei. The father next to her also pointed his ears.

"Mom, Dad, nothing's wrong, I'm just suffering from heatstroke. Look, aren't you alive and kicking now?"

"I sold my house and car in Shencheng. I want to rest at home for a while and then find another job." Wu Fei knew that his parents were worried about him, so he quickly changed the subject and told his parents about his temporary plans.

"Have a good rest at home and visit your grandma and uncles in a few days. You haven't visited your grandma for more than two years, and you must rarely call." Listening to his father's words, Wu Fei couldn't help but

Feel ashamed.

At home, my mother usually calls me. My grandma can’t call me even once a year. Every time I call, I have to be reminded by my mother to make a call.

"Brother, tomorrow is 16. I will accompany my sister to the town market. You have just come back and you must have a lot of things to buy. I will buy them for you." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit silent, Wu Li quickly changed the topic.

"Mom, I want to go too. My uncle said he wanted to buy me toys." Hearing his mother say that he was going to the town, the little guy who was sitting next to his grandfather watching cartoons immediately picked up.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask your uncle to take you to buy toys tomorrow. Buy a lot of toys." Looking at his granddaughter, Father Wu immediately agreed on Wu Fei's behalf.

"Dad, is there still electricity in the old house? I'll go check." After sitting for a while, watching his mother talk about going on a blind date for him, Wu Fei quickly changed the subject.

"There is electricity. I often go to the old house to live. Besides, the cows and cattle we feed are kept in the old house. If we don't go there often, what should I do if someone has bad intentions?" Father Wu said: "You just came back.

Aren’t you tired from riding in the car? Go to bed early and go to the old house tomorrow.”
