Chapter 161
I was not liked by my divorced parents since I was a child. When both parents formed new families, I was thrown to my grandparents.
Although my father's hometown is also in this province, one is in the south and the other is in the north. There is no chance to meet them in the future. They are mainly relatives on my mother's side.
My grandparents have three children in total. The oldest is Wen Zheng's aunt, who married far away in another province. The second is Wen Zheng's uncle, who currently settles down in the city. The youngest is Wen Zheng's mother.
After the divorce, the mother went to work outside and almost cut off contact with her family. Wen Zheng doesn't even have her contact information.
When the original body was a child, the aunt had married far away and only came back to stay at home for a few days every two or three years. Her attitude towards the original body was not bad.
However, the uncle's attitude towards Wen Zheng was not good. He was even dissatisfied with Wen Zheng's grandparents because he had to support Wen Zheng. However, when Wen Zheng was in junior high school, the uncle found a job in the city and came back once every few months.
The original body grew up in Sanlihe Village. Although there were gossipers, no one bullied him.
The reason why the original body was unwilling to return to this village was partly because of his life experience, and more because of the attitude of the uncle's family towards him.
Wen Zheng's uncle was named Huang Jiayun. He was admitted to the Normal College in that era. In the end, he did not become a teacher, but entered the government department and got a stable job.
Later, Huang Jiayun married the daughter of his leader and stayed in the city. In fact, he was a son-in-law.
In the memory of the original body, the uncle Huang Jiayun had a son who was one year younger than him, named Huang Mingzhi, but he was not very wise.
When I returned to Sanlihe Village with my uncle, this cousin always looked at the original body with disgust. Even when my grandparents did not notice, he secretly used words to attack the original body, so that the original body could not escape the impact of these attacks on him in his life.
After graduating from college, the original body did not return to the village. Both old people passed away, and the uncle's family only came back on special days.
So if nothing unexpected happens, Wen Zheng should see them tomorrow on Qingming Festival. I wonder what his cousin who disliked him in the past has become now.
However, on this day of Qingming Festival, Wen Zheng did not wait for his uncle's family to come back for worship.
When the right time came, the villagers had prepared the items for worship early and went up the mountain collectively.
In recent days, many villagers who were outside have called back with occasional useful communications. Those who are farther away are worried about encountering crazy animals on the road, so they will not come back.
Even those who live in the city rarely take such risks, including Wen Zheng's uncle's family.
In fact, thinking about the attitude of his uncle towards his original body in the past, Wen Zheng can't have any good feelings for this family. If they return to the village in the future, Wen Zheng will not treat them more closely than Uncle Huang's family.
The villagers have been assigned jobs, except for the children who have not done anything yet and the elderly who have no strength.
Whether men or women, the main strong laborers are digging with various tools and carrying the soil to pile up beside the road.
The elderly and the wounded prepared meals for them, and the children would do some work within their capacity.
After the snow melted some time ago, the temperature did not rise too much, and the ground was still moist.
Whether it was a hoe or a shovel, the ground could be easily dug, which reduced the effort for everyone.
The first place to be dug was of course the area closest to Dongshan. Wen Zheng's current residence was the closest to Dongshan. The villagers walked a few miles forward from where Wen Zheng's house was and started digging.
In fact, if you want to dig ditches, it is better to use machinery, but the current prices of various machinery are very expensive, and it is said that many machines have been damaged by some animals after animals suddenly went crazy.
There is no food, but there is no shortage of strength.
After digging for an hour each time, the villagers will follow Wen Zheng's requirements to move their bodies.
This activity method looks like the square dance performed by the elderly. If people from other villages see it, they will think that these people in Sanlihe Village are crazy.
The villagers were originally a little ashamed of such operations, but Wen Zheng's status in their minds has long been different.
Following Wen Zheng's advice, he felt less tired after working for a while, and his body would not be too tired and sore after working for several days.
When the ditch near Dongshan was almost dug, the village chief found a night and notified all the villagers to attend a meeting.
The content of this meeting was what Huang Mingchang and Huang Mingqing said when they found Wen Zheng last time, about the notice that urban residents would come to the countryside.
"So there will be a lot of people coming to the outside village, just like the educated youth going to the countryside back then?" Someone frowned. The villagers knew everything about their origins. Suddenly, so many strangers came. Who knows what their character is, whether they are good or bad.
"Then how should this land be divided? And these houses, where will they live when they come? If there is no place to live, they will be injured by the wild beasts if they are not careful.
" None of the villagers were satisfied. If there are more people, it means that the fields will be divided. How can they agree to this?
"This matter has already been decided, and our opposition is useless.
The news in the past two days said that the magnetic field of our planet seems to have changed. The frequent natural disasters in recent years, as well as those crazy animals and mutated plants, are all affected by the magnetic field.
The situation in the north can also be seen in the news. The ice has not melted yet. The south suffered from floods for several months last year, as well as earthquakes and tsunamis. Now there is less land available for cultivation, prices are getting higher and higher, and there are many unemployed people in the city. Although our country has a lot of food reserves, the consumption is also quite large. We can only let more people return to the countryside to grow food.
"The village chief said slowly.
The village chief continued to add: "Everyone does not need to panic now. This matter has been decided above, but where those who return to the countryside live is a big problem, so now we are counting the population and willingness to return to the countryside, and we will also check the population of each village, and divide the fields by the way. During this period, someone will come to build houses.
" "So good, both land and houses are given.
"Some villagers are not satisfied. This is too unfair to them, the honest rural people.
The village chief knocked on the table to quiet everyone down, and said: "Of course, we are not building houses for them for free. These people have to pay for food if they want to live.
" The villagers' dissatisfaction finally subsided, and they listened carefully to what the village chief continued to say.
The village chief looked at everyone and said, "In addition to telling you this news, there is another thing I need to ask for your opinions on. After the state-built house is completed, are you willing to exchange it with your current house?
" Chapter 77 Sanlihe Village is a vast and sparsely populated village, so some villagers live in remote areas.
When the time comes, the newly built houses may be interspersed between the old houses, and the villagers need to worry about the problem of these outsiders.
Now there is a way, that is, the old villagers move to one area and divide the village into two new and old areas.
This is an idea proposed to the village chief. The village chief believes that the probability of the villagers agreeing is not high, but he still proposed it. If many villagers agree, he will propose this opinion to his superiors.
This proposal is difficult for people. People who are used to living in their own houses will be reluctant to move suddenly, and who knows what the new houses built by the state will look like. Not many people are interested in the village chief's proposal.
Seeing the hesitation of the villagers, the village chief did not say anything else, so that everyone can think about it when they are free. Those city residents will officially come to the countryside, and it is estimated that they will have to wait until their batch of wheat is harvested.
