Xiping Village is not what it used to be.

Under the night, rows and rows of small single-family buildings are neatly arranged, and the path in front of the village is very clean. People who don't know better think that they have entered a villa area of ​​​​the rich.

The car drove directly to the gate. As soon as Xia Jiang got out of the car, the gate of his house opened.

The gray-haired old father stood at the gate. Tears filled his eyes when he saw his son Xia Jian appear.

At this time, the mother also ran out, followed by three children who looked about the same age.

Xia Jian couldn't help it anymore and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"My son is unfilial! It will hurt his parents."

Xia Jian said and kowtowed three times on the ground.

At this time, Chen Erniu and his wife Mo Yan ran over and hurriedly pulled Xia Jian up from the ground.

"Get up, what are you doing? You were murdered, and you didn't mean to be unfilial."

Chen Erniu pulled Xia Jian up and greeted Li Ya and the three of them.

The group of people entered the living room in a lively manner.

"Why do you think I'm back?"

Xia Jian asked a little puzzled.

Chen Erniu chuckled and said, "Before you came, Mr. Xiao called to inform my uncle and aunt. It was Uncle Xia who called me."

When Xia Jian heard this, he suddenly realized that no wonder Chen Erniu and his wife came as soon as he knelt down.

"Son! I've suffered a lot this time. The big tree attracts the wind. Can we stop doing it?"

My mother held Xia Jian's hand, and she burst into tears when she said this.

Dad is a man after all. He chuckled and said, "You are really like a woman. You don't suppress evil and you don't drink water because you are afraid of swallowing."

"Our son is doing big things. When he is capable of doing it, who can agree if you ask him to rest?"

Dad blamed his wife while he and Mo Yan were busy pouring water for everyone.

Blood is thicker than water. At first, the three children stood far away. After a while, they all ran over and regarded Xia Jian as a mountain of flowers and fruits, and they themselves became little monkeys.

With the participation of children, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely lively.

"Mom! Didn't you say you hired a nanny?"

Xia Jian glanced inside the room and asked hurriedly.

The old woman nodded and said, "The child is older and it's easier to take care of him. I said I wouldn't need a nanny, but Xiao Xiao disagreed and hired a female college student from Pingdu City."

"But this is okay. The nanny will do the pick-up and drop-off from the kindergarten every day and the home education after returning home. Your father and I will have a lot of leisure time."

"Oh! She has something to do with her family, so she's asking for leave today and tomorrow."

Seeing that my mother was talking so happily, Xia Jian didn't ask any more questions about the matter.

But what pleased him was that the three children grew up well, were all smart and cute, and spoke pure Mandarin. This may have benefited from the female college student.

It had been so long since I had eaten the food cooked by me. After many urgings, I walked into the kitchen, and Mo Yan quickly followed to help.

"How is the village? This new countryside is more comfortable than living in a building in the city."

Only then did Xia Jian have time to talk to Chen Erniu.

Chen Erniu smiled happily and said: "It's very good. Our vegetable greenhouse has been upgraded and the output has increased a lot."

"Let alone the breeding factory, there is income every month."

"In addition, the old village has been set up as a tourist village. As a result, the business of those farmhouses has also become booming."

"To use the words of other villagers, we in Xiping Village will be paid even if we lie still."

When Chen Erniu said this, a confident smile appeared on his face.

Xia Jianchang sighed and said: "As the saying goes, it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. You must not be arrogant and careless. You must keep pace with the times. Especially the village leadership team must recruit new people and recruit talented college students."

"You are right. There are more than ten people in our village leadership team, two-thirds of whom are college students. I have delegated the management of vegetable greenhouses and farms to them."

"Hey! Why don't we go for a walk in the old village? It will be a while before we have dinner."

Chen Erniu said and stood up.

Xia Jian said hello, took Hei Wa, and followed Chen Erniu to the old village.

Although it was evening, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xia Jian's heart surged like a tide.

Scenes of familiar scenes appeared in my mind like a movie.

He seemed to see Zhao Hong and Xia Sanhu, who were standing at the entrance of the village waving and smiling at him.

"What a pity! It would be great if Zhao Hong and Xia Sanhu were there!"

Xia Jian couldn't help but say it.

Chen Erniu looked up at the night sky. Although he did not speak, Xia Jian could feel the sadness in his heart.

The three of them walked into the village. The lively scene of the past was no longer there, only an empty alley stretched endlessly under the bright street lights.

Chen Erniu took Xia Jian to his old house. Looking at the big iron lock on the door, Xia Jian felt really mixed feelings.

Although his family now lives in a small foreign-style house in the new rural area, he still has constant concerns about this place.

After leaving the village and walking up the Xichuan River, a lively scene immediately appeared.

I saw that in the farmhouses along the road, almost every household had customers.

After looking at the modern vegetable greenhouses and going to the breeding farm, Xia Jian was filled with emotions.

Although more than two years is not a long time, Xiping Village has changed so much that he can't keep up with the pace.

On the way home, Xia Jian suddenly asked Chen Erniu: "How are the villages over Dongshan developing now?"

"It's not bad. The apples and peppers you asked them to grow are starting to make a profit. With the money, every household has built a big brick house, and the appearance of the village has also changed a lot."

"All this is due to you!"

After hearing what Chen Erniu said, Xia Jian suddenly thought of Chen Xiaolan, and he quickly asked: "Is Chen Haiping still in charge?"

"Old Chen had a serious illness and retired. Now Chen Xiaolan is leading a few young people in the village to do it. Not to mention, the women in our area are quite powerful."

When Chen Erniu said this, he suddenly stopped.

Xia Jian took a deep breath and asked, "Do you still have contact with Ma Yan? I heard from Mr. Luo that Ma Yan married out of town? What about her parents?"

"Yeah! Ma Yan married her college classmate, who opened a factory in her hometown. I heard that the business was quite big, so her parents went with her."

"But I think Ma Yan did a good job in not taking the third child away. I admire her from the bottom of my heart."

"In addition, Ma Yan married out of town just to forget about this place and start a new life, because your sudden departure was still a big blow to her."

"One time while drinking, Ma Yan cried and said that she would rather die than let you leave this world so early. Because you are the support of a group of people, and everyone cannot live without you."
