After the group finished their meal, Li Moer said to Cui Nan's elder and second brothers, "Brothers, do you have a cart at home?"

The second brother of the Cui family nodded and said, "Yes. What does Sister Li need the car for?" Li Moer said, "There are some food on the plane that I prepared for my sisters. Big brother and second brother, please help me bring it back."

When Cui Nan, Wang Cuicui and Tian Li heard that the food on that plane was prepared for them, they were all very moved. They held Li Moer's hands and kept expressing their gratitude.

A group of people followed the cart towards the big banyan tree. From a distance, they could see that almost everyone in the village had arrived.

As the crowd approached, they could hear villagers buzzing around the Osprey helicopter, their voices filled with admiration and amazement. "This aircraft is so majestic, just like what you see on TV. Its wings can even rotate, it's amazing."

Everyone chatted. Li Moer smiled and greeted the villagers, then she and the Cui brothers began unloading food from the plane. Bags of rice and flour were loaded onto carts, and villagers came to help. Cui Nan, Wang Cuicui, and Tian Li kept saying, "Youngest, you're so thoughtful. Thank you so much. You've been so kind to us!" The surrounding villagers looked at the bags of food with envy. Once the food was unloaded, the carts, surrounded by the crowd, slowly drove towards the village, leaving the Osprey helicopter behind, its metallic gleam in the sun.

When she was loading food onto the helicopter, she divided the food into three parts, so they only had to load one third onto the cart.

Under the reluctant eyes of Cui Nan's family and the envious gaze of all the villagers, the Osprey helicopter took off, adjusted its direction, and flew north.

The helicopter flew directly to Tian Li's home. Tian Li was from Dabo, Hangu Farm, south of Tangshi Road. She and Li Moer were fellow villagers in their previous life, but Li Moer lived in the city while Tian Li was from the countryside.

At that time, Hangu Farm was well-known throughout the country because of its good rice planting technology and high yield.

Rice-growing areas across the country sent people to Hangu Farm to learn rice-growing techniques.

Tian Li's home is in Dabo. According to records, this place used to be a reed marsh. In 1404, Chen Zi, a famine refugee from Zaozhuang, Shandong, followed the immigrants north to Dabo. He saw rivers crisscrossing, fertile land, and far away from the war, like a paradise.

They brought their families and dug wells to settle down, and have lived there for more than 7.8 years. The Tangshi earthquake also affected this area. At that time, there were many adobe houses in Dabo, which could not withstand the magnitude earthquake.

One of Tian Li's rooms collapsed during the earthquake, but fortunately it wasn't the bedroom.

Today, Dabo's population has reached 7,000 to 8,000, making it too large for one brigade to manage, so it has been divided into four. Originally, there were three brigades, but after the earthquake, about a thousand people were separated and moved to a place two miles away from the original village to build houses. The village was named Zhenxin Village, meaning the new village established after the earthquake.

It was now the twelfth lunar month and Dabao Village had begun preparing for the New Year. The children in the square were playing snowball fights in their thick cotton-padded jackets. The sleeves of their jackets were black and shiny, from wiping their noses.

There was a rumbling sound in the distance. The children stopped preparing to throw snowballs at each other and looked up at the sky, only to see a black dot flying from the south.

On the plane, Tian Li pointed to a large reed marsh and said, "Our village is called Dabo because it used to be full of reeds like this. The elders said that we used to catch roe deer with sticks and fish with ladles, and even pheasants flew into the rice pot. Otherwise, the ancestors of the Chen family would not have chosen to settle here."
