Rebirth: Back to before my girlfriend dropped out of school
Chapter 174 A Girl's Story
Then she returned to the countryside by herself. She felt that the land at home was more familiar to her, and that the land did not look down on her and could provide her with work.
She is illiterate and blind. After her husband passed away, no one could figure out how to use a mobile phone. Sometimes when she wants to call her son, she doesn't know which button to press and can only hope that her children will call her.
But the call from the other end always came late, and she waited for a long time but still no call.
Later, Wen Huizhu came and said she could help her. The woman began to look forward to it, but her cell phone didn't ring.
Wen Huizhu immediately said, "I contacted your son after I returned, and your son also said he would call you."
"Oh no," the woman said anxiously. After a moment, she slapped her thigh. "That must be because I forgot to charge my phone last time. My phone was turned off and I didn't hear the call. Reporter Wen, can you help me check and call back?"
As she spoke, she handed over the phone she had been holding in her hand, full of expectations.
Wen Huizhu responded and found her a number to call.
There are indeed missed calls. Even if you don’t call today, you will get a call in two days.
The call was connected quickly, and the old man happily held the phone and called out to his son.
Others watched with sadness, but also felt confused. “Mobile phones are very easy to use now, especially for the elderly. Making a call is easy. Why don’t you teach her?”
Wen Huizhu sighed, "I used to think so too, but then I asked her and found out that this old woman doesn't know any words at all. She can't even recognize the numbers from one to ten. She even forgot her own name. She's old, her thinking is fixed, and even her learning ability seems to have faded. I used to teach her which keys to press, and she would respond perfectly. She would remember it right after I told her, but forget it completely two days later. If she accidentally presses the wrong key again, I don't know what to do."
She said, "Not everyone is as lucky as people today who can receive education from birth." Even the so-called blind people today can still recognize a few words.
This old man was not so lucky.
No one spoke, and there was a long silence in the crowd. They couldn't imagine that there were people who couldn't even recognize the numbers from one to ten. So this was what it meant to be blind. Now there were text guides outside. What they thought was convenient was so difficult for the elderly.
"Among the people today, only her generation has not abandoned the land. The bond between them is very deep."
The others seemed to understand, and used to think that the old people just had feelings for the land, but now they suddenly realized that it seemed to be because the land was the only one that did not abandon them, so they were so attached to the land.
Later, they visited other villagers door to door. Most of them were elderly, and the youngest was in his forties or fifties. Some of them had children at home. They looked thin and withered, and looked timidly at this group of dazzling and unfamiliar people. The little people were clinging to the door and observing them quietly.
Xia Zhuomian didn't know what was going on, and thought of a photo in the newspaper. A gray child wearing loose clothes was lying beside a wooden door frame, looking at the camera in front of her with some shyness and curiosity. Her eyes were so bright, full of curiosity about the unknown world.
Someone has already picked up the camera.
They had just come into contact with a previously unknown side of themselves, and their hearts were touched. After taking the photo, the woman walked over and gently asked the little girl, "Little girl, I took a photo of you. Do you want to see it?"
The child is no stranger to taking photos. Every year when her parents come back, they will dress her up in nice clothes and take a photo together as a family. She subconsciously adjusted her hair and pulled at her clothes. Her mother told her that she should not be sloppy when taking photos.
The beautiful sister squatted in front of her and looked at her, as if waiting for her answer. The girl grabbed her clothes and nodded slightly.
Then she saw her sister coming over with something big in her hand, showing her the photos and saying that she would print them out and give them to her next time.
There were big questions in her big eyes. It turned out that more than just mobile phones could take pictures. What was this thing? It was black and looked very powerful!
Seeing the child's expression, the girl's heart softened. She searched her bag for a long time and found only a plum, which she had brought specially to prevent motion sickness. She opened the plum and handed it to the girl, coaxing her softly, "It's delicious."
The girl didn't dare to eat food from strangers. She looked at Aunt Wen, then looked at the sweet fragrance of plums in front of her, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and took a bite.
As soon as she took a bite, she smiled, her eyebrows curved, and she looked very happy. "It's sour and sweet, so delicious."
Seeing this, others immediately started searching their pockets and stuffing any snacks they could find into the children's pockets. This was the happiest day for the children except when their parents were around. There were many friendly older brothers and sisters who would also give them delicious treats.
Xia Zhuomian was so soft-hearted that he couldn't help but touch the child's soft face.
After Wen Huizhu finished chatting with the elderly people at home, she saw them playing with the children. She couldn't help but smile. These children were all kind-hearted people and were suitable for this path.
After that, they stopped playing and began to study seriously with Teacher Wen. The most common answer I heard from the farmers was that they could accept land reclamation, but they hoped to keep a part of it so that they could grow some vegetables.
Of course, some people also asked when the recycling would take place, and what the price would be, etc.
Currently, there are pilot cities for land reclamation, but it is still in the experimental stage and the results are not as good as expected, so it has not been rolled out on a large scale.
Later, when we asked the younger people, they expressed strong refusal, saying that as a farmer, do they have to buy rice to eat in the future? Moreover, they only know how to farm, so what will they do if the land is reclaimed?
Some even mentioned a rumor they heard from somewhere, saying that the land in a certain village was reclaimed, but it was not cultivated and was left abandoned, so it would be better not to reclaim it at all.
After the conversation, everyone felt depressed. They couldn't seem to think of a solution that would satisfy both parties.
Wen Huizhu was also a little tired. It was dark when the group took the bus back to the city. The car was extremely dull and there was no laughter like when they left.
Seeing this, Wen Huizhu began to persuade them, "Land reclamation is a foregone conclusion. Aside from the elderly who are still holding on, few are choosing to return home to farm. Our goal is to foster a deeper relationship between farmers and the land. For the rest, trust the state."
Today's interview did not go smoothly, but it gave Wen Huizhu a deeper understanding of the land and the people.
Teacher Wen is very charismatic. Most of the people she visited with this time chose the same path as her, including Xia Zhuomian...
Xia Zhuomian's path was relatively smooth, but Ji Ze's life was a bit miserable.
It was a good decision for Zhao Xing to leave the dock early, because if he hadn't left, he would have been tortured to death.
He had wanted to give the newcomers a warning, to let them know he wasn't someone to be trifled with, but then...
Well~ everyone can slap him and tell him that they are not so easy to mess with.
Two more leaders came from Wanjiang, one was Chen Ziyi, the wife of the person who delivered the goods to them from Hai's side, and the other was Lu Xiangyi, who seemed to be the daughter of one of Hai Ye's adopted sons. They were all big shots, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them!
Fortunately, it wasn't just one person who came. The two had been fighting for so long, and he was still the one in charge. It was just that he was caught in the middle and didn't have the right to give orders. He felt extremely aggrieved as the person in charge.
The only good thing is that they look down on other industries, and they don't even need Ji Ze to instigate them to have their eyes set on Luxi Dandan.
These two people are not Mu Xingzhou. They already have bargaining chips in their hands, especially Chen Ziyi, who is ruthless. Lu Xidan has encountered more assassinations during this period than in all previous years.
