Chapter 32: In and Outside the Village

Although the oxcart looks a bit crude, it is still quite fast when it is in motion.

In the winter fields, the rice and other crops have been harvested, revealing the dark land, and the fragrance of the soil wafts from time to time.

On both sides of the road and in the fields, some tender green weeds have quietly poked their heads out and stretched all the way to the distant mountains and forests.

It was almost dusk, and I didn't know when it started. The sky was gradually filled with sunset glow, which was reflected on the surface of the stream, scattering into a little bit of dazzling golden light, dyeing the stream into a beautiful rose color.

What a beautiful pastoral landscape painting!

Li Zhenzhen was immersed in this poetic rural scenery, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Hou Dayong turned around by chance and saw Li Zhenzhen smiling with her eyes closed.

Hou Dayong couldn't help but said with a smile: "Sister, is the scenery here good? How does it compare to your capital?"

Li Zhenzhen opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Dayong, the scenery here is really beautiful, I like it very much! If compared with the capital, the soil and water in your south are still better."

Hou Dayong said complacently: "When you arrive at our Tiechang Village production team, you will find that the scenery there is better! Our Tiechang Village, not only has large tracts of forests, There is also a large reservoir!"

Seeing Hou Dayong's high interest, Li Zhenzhen took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Dayong, are there other educated youth in our village?"

Hou Dayong replied: "Of course, now with you, there are 7 educated youth in our village."

After thinking for a while, he said: "But they all came from nearby cities to work in the countryside. We have never seen educated youth from Beijing! Hahaha, everyone is looking forward to seeing you."

Li Zhenzhen is not "Look at me? What's so good about me? I'm the same as everyone else, nothing special."

Hou Dayong explained: "Other educated youth are not rare, but you are from Beijing, so you are rare."

I don't know what he remembered, Hou Dayong suddenly laughed and said:

"Most of the villagers in our village have been to the farthest place in their lives, which is the county seat of Dongguan County. Some people have never been out of this place in their lives. Qingxi Commune! They are of course curious about you, an educated youth from Beijing."

Li Zhenzhen didn't know what to say, so she asked again: "Uncle Dayong, what is Tiechang Village like? Are there many people in the village?"

Hou Dayong said without hesitation: "Tiechang Village is a small village with only more than 200 households and a population of about 1,500. Don't worry, everyone gets along well."

Li Zhenzhen asked again: "Uncle Dayong, I heard that Nan The harvest is better here, isn't it?"

Hou Dayong's face darkened a little, and he whispered, "Alas... it was pretty good before. But in recent years, I don't know what happened, there are often droughts, and sometimes even locust plagues! The harvest is not as good as before! Only this year, the drought has finally stopped, and the harvest is relatively good."

On the way, Li Zhenzhen chatted with Hou Dayong like this, and before they knew it, they came to Tiechang Village.

Tiechang Village is a beautiful small village surrounded by mountains and shaded by green trees.
