Chapter 31

When it was deserted, my father-in-law and the others exchanged land with a few farmers around, gathered together, and came up with such an idea. "

Chen Jie looked at the top of the mountain and said, "Taozi, why don't you wrap up this mountain together and plant peach trees together. Wouldn't it be better to connect it like this?"

Guo Jingtao said: "I have thought about it, but my ability is limited. We have been operating on a small budget and have no funds. Besides, the village is now discussing to convert this land into a cemetery."

Chen Jie heard: "Changing it into a cemetery? That's not a waste. Taozi, how much money do you need for some activities? I'll find a way to support you, okay? I have limited ability, and I think Weiguo will definitely do it." I support you in making the industry bigger. Think about it, when the peach blossoms are all over the mountain, if we hold another peach blossom festival, can we still attract people from the city to travel?"

"Yes, we can also set up a farm, and we can solve the problem of food. This is very popular in Shenzhen." Lin Yi also supported it.

The conversation between the two moved Guo Jingtao's heart. He looked at Chen Jie: "Really? Are you willing to do this too?"

Lin Yi was eager to try: "Cousin, go get in touch, and discuss with us what's wrong."

The three of them took a closer look at the terrain near the hill. The hill was the remnant of Longshan Mountain. It was round in shape, about one or two hundred acres in size. Except for some miscellaneous trees and tombs, it was the vegetable garden of the nearby rural people.In the field where the crops have been harvested, there is still a touch of green. Lin Yi smiled and suggested that when the Taoyuan is completed in the future, it will be called Emerald Villa.Guo Jingtao saw that they were so willing, and he really lacked funds, so he said that he would contact the village cadres immediately and try to win over this land to make it into a Taoyuan before turning it into a cemetery.

"Another thing to tell you two, Xu Yanbing is from this village, and her father-in-law used to be the village party secretary here." Guo Jingtao said.

"What, you mean Xu Yanbing? Am I Xu Yanbing from junior high school?" Lin Yi said in surprise when she heard that her former best classmate was nearby.

"Yeah, but she's not doing well in her husband's house. She divorced his husband and hasn't been home for many years." Guo Jingtao said, "Her hometown is not far from there, so I'll take you to see it now? I don't know if I will come back this year."

As he spoke, he led the two of them to a house on the east side. Three dilapidated tile-roofed houses stood alone in a farmland far away from the surrounding houses. An old man was drying bedding at the door. Guo Jingtao saw it and went up Qianqian said hello: "Father Xu, are you home alone? Yan Bing didn't come back?"

The old man looked at it, and quickly asked them to sit in the room: "Oh, Taozi! No, no one remembers me as an old man now. Are these two...?"

"Oh, Daddy Xu, look, these two are my classmates, and this is my cousin. We were classmates with Xu Yanbing before, and they all work in Shenzhen. You see, do you know where Xu Yanbing works in Shenzhen? Is it possible to connect them with each other?"

"Yes, yes, Father Xu, Xu Yanbing and I used to be best classmates at school!" Lin Yi asked expectantly from the side.

"Oh, I don't know either. She never said anything, and I don't know where she is or what her phone number is." Father Xu's face was indifferent, and the vicissitudes of the years were engraved in the deep wrinkles on his forehead.

The three of them didn't get any valuable news from Xu's father, stayed for a while and then left disappointed.On the way back, Guo Jingtao said to the two of them: "Xu Yanbing probably got married when you were in college and gave birth to a daughter. Her in-laws didn't treat her well, and her husband beat her from time to time. Her stepmother refused to take her in. She reluctantly stayed at her in-law's house until the child was three years old, then went to Shenzhen and never came back. It has been five or six years now. Their home is also dilapidated. I ran away with others, and there is no news. Now Daddy Xu lives alone at home. If you can find out the whereabouts of Xu Yanbing in Shenzhen, send her a message and ask her to come back to see her dad often. The old man is also very pitiful! "After hearing this, Lin Yi and Chen Jie looked at each other, both of them felt sad.

That night, Guo Jingtao called Chen Jie and said that the new village party secretary had agreed to his proposal that the land could not be built as a cemetery, and that the land was originally public land, so there was no issue of land title confirmation, but the contracted price to them was The initial price is 20 yuan a year, and the [-]-year contract period must be settled in one go.I hope that Chen Jie and the others can make up their minds as soon as possible. Chen Jie thinks that the price is not low. In Shenzhen, it can provide a down payment for a house. He can't make up his mind for a while, saying that he will discuss it with Wei Guo, Lin Yongsheng, and Lin Yi.

When I called Lin Yongsheng, Lin Yongsheng said that he was only working, and he didn't have much money, and he didn't have the strength to invest.Wei Guo heard about the plan, and heard that it belonged to Taohua Village, so he readily agreed, saying that he would let Guo Jingtao let go and figure out how much money he needed, which made Lin Yi and Chen Jie overjoyed.

Shenzhen Bay Mangrove Seaside Park, on a sunny day, gathers people from all corners of Shenzhen. This place is located between Nanshan and Luohu, just south of Futian, with convenient transportation. It is also a folk culture village and a window to the world. adjacent to.The weather here is calm and the seabirds and fishing boats are cruising between the sea and the sky. Overlooking the dark blue Hong Kong Island across the bay, people will suddenly feel their own insignificance and understand that only nature is the master of this world.

Today is Saturday, Xu Yanbing specially asked for leave to take her to the mangrove for an outing at the begging of her daughter Yang Xinyue.It has been six years since she brought her three-year-old "Little Moon" Yang Xinyue to Shenzhen in [-].Shenzhen is a paradise for migrant workers and a place where strangers from all over the country gather. No one knows her, and no one will inquire about her past. Like all migrant girls, she has a lot of relationships with colleagues and customers in the busy work every day. In communication, forget which small village you came from, forget those painful experiences, and regard yourself as a Shenzhen native.In that small village that is gradually forgotten, there are only painful memories from her childhood: when she was three years old when she just remembered, her mother drank pesticides in a fit of anger and failed to rescue her. At that time, she watched her mother regret the painful death Eyes, I don’t understand why my mother left her; later, when she was getting more sensible, her father brought her stepmother back. People in the village said that her mother took medicine because of her stepmother, so she also hated her father from the bottom of her heart. and stepmother.The stepmother forbade her to continue to go to school, and her father always looked downcast in front of the stepmother, not at all as arrogant as he used to be in front of his mother.Dad begged her to listen to her stepmother: Doesn't the stepmother have a baby? Don't make the stepmother unhappy.Later, the stepmother had a miscarriage, and she blamed her grandmother for not taking good care of her. The grandmother suffered a stroke and passed away not long after.The grandmother and mother who loved her the most were gone, and she didn't know how many times she cried in her sleep.

Now she is nearly [-] years old. Since she has worked in a beauty shop for a long time, the years have not left many marks on her face. Her long hair is tired of hugging her peach-like face, which is still charming and moving.Daughter Xiaoyue is nine years old this year, and her head has reached her shoulders. Others say that she looks like her mother very much. When two people walk side by side, she can't tell from anywhere that she is already the mother of the nine-year-old child next to her.

Little Moon is an obedient and well-behaved child, probably because she has lived in the beauty salon for a long time. She has also been smart since she was a child, and she often helps the aunts in the yard with work, and the guests in the beauty salon also like her very much.On Father's Day last year, Little Moon came back from the training school, brought her a homemade paper flower arrangement, and said to her: "Mom, you are both my mother and my father, so I want to wish you a happy Father's Day too." Happy!" One sentence moved her to tears in front of her daughter, and lamented that her daughter was beginning to understand, and seeing Little Moon's face growing up day by day, her scarred heart would be comforted.

She hasn't told little moon about her past, and little moon is still young, so she won't understand it.Occasionally, I would take Little Moon to study Tang Poetry and Song Ci, and Little Moon would ask her in amazement why she could recite so many Tang Poetry and Song Ci. She only knew that after so many years, she still hadn't forgotten some things.

Yes, how could she forget that Xiaoyue's father is still hurting her to this day, he does not agree to divorce, and when it comes to divorce, he will face her with threats and scolding, she is a little woman, in order to protect Xiaoyue In order to prevent her elderly father from being frightened and wronged, she chose to wait patiently until the day when little moon grew up, she hoped that they could escape from that person's clutches.

What worries her is that Xiaoyue's father, Yang Xiaolong, actually lives in this city, but she doesn't know where he is, and she actually doesn't want to know.During the Spring Festival in [-], she stayed in Shenzhen because she couldn't return home. As a result, not long after the Spring Festival, Yang Xiaolong rushed to Shenzhen to find her and wanted to take her back to Hubei!She didn't want to go back no matter what, the home there made her feel hopeless, so she knelt down in front of the beauty salon lady, begging her to save her, the beauty salon lady took pity on her, and dismissed the troublemaker Yang Xiaolong, and helped her The original house was rented out and she was asked to move directly to the beauty salon.Since then, the attic on the fourth floor of the beauty salon has become her and Little Moon's home.The beauty salon is near the pedestrian street, and there are surveillance and patrolling police. Yang Xiaolong dare not do anything to her, she also knows, so
