After resigning, I want to go back to the village to grow sweet potatoes

A few days after Lin Xi returned to Qingshuiwan for vacation, New Year's Eve was ushered in.

Some customs in Qingshuiwan are different from those in other places. In other places, the New Year’s Eve refers to the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month. The New Year’s Eve in Qingshuiwan is the night before New Year’s Eve.

From the early morning of the New Year's Eve, the people of Qingshuiwan began to prepare for the New Year's Eve feast of ancient trees, which is the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.

This year, the folks prepared this New Year's Eve dinner with great care and joy. In addition to slaughtering chickens and ducks, every family also prepared a menu for Lin Desheng to check.

Lin Xi's family has moved into a new tile-roofed house in the new village. The original broken stone house is being remodeled. According to the plan, before May Day, they can receive tourists together with other stone houses in the surrounding area.

Lin Desheng sat in the yard of his new house and looked at the menus sent by each household. After reading one, he thought it was okay, so he sent Lin Dazhi to send it back to that home; Lin Dazhi sent it to prepare.

Lin Dazhi ran back and forth all over the village, his legs were sore from running, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Dazhi, try this, how does it taste?"

"Dazhi, you can eat and see this, okay?"

"Dazhi, isn't this a bit light?"

"Dazhi, isn't this a bit salty?"

"..."

Lin Dazhi is not only a messenger of the menu, but also a taster of the dishes.

"Dazhi, you can't be sloppy with our own dishes. This year is the happiest year I've ever been, and I must bring out the best dishes to the ancient tree banquet."

This year is indeed the happiest year for Lin Dazhi's family. The whole family has made money, not a lot.For the first time in more than 30 years, two silly brothers and one silly sister handed over a large stack of colorful bills to the old lady before the Chinese New Year.

Yesterday in the village, apart from a few cooperatives distributing year-end bonuses, the whole village distributed dividends on a head-to-head basis. Elderly people in their 90s and [-]s, as well as infants in their infancy, all received five-figure tickets.

One of Lin Dazhi's silly brothers continued to set up a roasted sweet potato stall with Grandpa Lin Xi, another silly brother went to work in the village sweet potato processing factory, and the silly older sister worked as a fruit sorter in the village fruit cooperative, taking home more and more tickets. , I was so happy that Lin Dazhi's old lady fell asleep last night and kept laughing.

"Uncle Desheng, you've read all the menus of every household in the village, so I'll go home and cook."

Without waiting for Lin Desheng to respond, Lin Dazhi ran out of the courtyard of Linxi's new house in a gust of wind.

"Desheng, you also have to take good care of your own food."

"That's right, you've only been like a head of the village in the past six months, and this dish is going to be the head of the family too."

Lin Xi's grandfather and grandmother greeted Lin Desheng in the kitchen.

"There are counts, there are counts, our family can cook a few home-made dishes. The number of dishes does not lie in the number of dishes, but in the quality. Xiaoxi, don't you think so?" Lin Desheng smiled and asked Lin Xi who was squatting on the side peeling sweet potatoes.

"Dad, you're getting better at speaking now." Lin Xi responded to Lin Desheng with a smile.

"Xiaoxi, your father's speech at the general meeting of the villagers a few days ago was more level, and my palms were red." Lin Xi's mother came out of the kitchen with a smile to get the ingredients.

"Mom, is it because no one else is applauding, so you applaud hard?"

"How is it possible? You may not believe it when you say it. Changsheng and Huoliang are even more enthusiastic than me. I was embarrassed to applaud your father to avoid suspicion. But what your father said is really good. I couldn't help clapping my hands."

"Mom, where did you learn this? Enthusiastic, avoiding suspicion, can't help it?"

"Xiaoxi, mom also went to school, and mom also knows a lot of idioms."

"Pull it down, you know a lot of idioms? Didn't you just learn those few words from Xiao Yan? After I delivered my speech, Xiao Yan said in conclusion that everyone's warm applause is representative of my speech. In response to everyone's aspirations, Xiao Yan told you that you should also applaud me, and there is no need to avoid suspicion. Xiao Yan also said that the villagers couldn't help but applaud me."

"Hey, why did you mention Xiao Yan in front of Xiaoxi? Did you talk a lot about it?"

"I, I forgot about it as soon as I was happy."

Lin Xi pretended not to hear the murmurs of his parents, raised his voice and asked:

"Mom, dad, what kind of speech did he deliver? You made the folks applaud him uncontrollably?"

"Xiaoxi, your father said that the good days for us in Qingshuiwan have just begun, and better and better days are yet to come."

"That's right, that's right, your father also said that now people from the city come to Qingshuiwan to celebrate the New Year, and we Qingshuiwan people will go to the city to celebrate the New Year in the future."

"Your father said that we will not only go to the city to celebrate the New Year, but also become city dwellers. Hey, Desheng, what do you think there is a 'whoosh' going up in that tall house in the city?"

"Dad, the elevator."

"Yes, yes, we will live in a house with an elevator in the city in the future, so your grandma and I don't have to climb the stairs."

"Grandpa, you and grandma don't have to climb the stairs in Clear Water Bay?"

Lin Xi didn't expect her grandparents, parents and parents to yearn for life in the city so much. After peeling the sweet potatoes, she excused herself to cut vegetables in the vegetable field and left her new tile-roofed house.

The whole Qingshui Bay was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, and the children who couldn't hold back their joy had already started setting off explosions, crackling and urging the adults to chop the kitchen knife faster and fry the oil pan louder...

Lin Xi had imagined the changes in the village at school, but he didn't expect the changes to be so fast.

In just a few months, several high-rise buildings rose, several factories were built, and workers were recruited to Shuizhou.

Lin Xi cut two branches of cabbage, a handful of spinach and a few carrots from her vegetable field, and just returned to the Qingshi Bridge, when a brand new car stopped beside her with a "creak" sound. Man, involuntarily hugged her.

"Huo Yan?"

"Sister Xiaoxi, you miss me!"

Huo Yan hugged Lin Xi and made out with each other non-stop.

"You bought a car?"

"Well, the car I just mentioned is Chinese New Year."

"congratulations."

"Qiaoyan has also bought a car, and several companies in the village have bought cars. You see, they all picked up the cars today. The 4S store is offering us a group buying event in Qingshuiwan Village, and the discounts are great."

Huo Yan pointed at the dozen or so cars that were driving slowly behind him, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Okay, okay, we no longer only have Brother Dazhi's agricultural tricycle in our village."

From the bottom of his heart, Lin Xi was happy for Huo Yan, Qiao Yan, and the villagers.

"The people in the 4S store said that they will come to our Qingshuiwan Village to do group buying activities after the Chinese New Year. Brother Dazhi has already booked a car with the best configuration."

"Okay, okay, then I can take your car when I go out in the future, and I don't have to go to the town to take a car."

"Sister Xiaoxi, Brother Dayan bought a Daben, it must be a special car to pick you up. Also, Brother Dayan said that after the Chinese New Year, our village will also have buses. He has already communicated with the county. The people in the department have talked about it."

"Our village has buses? Is it true?"

Lin Xi pretended to be surprised in order to prevent Huo Yan from mentioning the matter of buying a car again.

"Of course it's true. Brother Dayan is amazing. I heard that Brother Dayan is also a representative of the 'two sessions' held after the New Year in the county. Not only Brother Dayan is a representative, but sister Hui is also a committee member."

Unexpectedly, Huo Yan talked endlessly about Zhuang Yan, and even mentioned Mei Hui.

"Huo Yan, hurry up and drive home to make your brother and sister-in-law happy." Lin Xi didn't want to talk solemnly to Huo Yan.

"Sister Xiaoxi, I'll go home first, and see you at the ancient tree reunion banquet tonight. Oh, by the way, did Brother Dayan invite you to be the head beauty at the reunion banquet?" Huo Yan turned to ask Lin Xi after opening the car door .

"The head beauty?" Lin Xi frowned.
