Chapter 80: What a Change

My mother's brief visit to the army brought me a lot of information about my hometown, most of which was not mentioned in the family letters.

All good news!

After the eldest brother got married, he divided the family and gave them the three houses behind the Zhang family's courtyard.

The eldest brother has contributed a lot to the family since he was a child, and he has not given them a single debt or asked them to have other burdens, which is rare in rural areas.

The family built three new houses on the side of the road near the main road.

The eldest brother and the second brother dug up the yellow mud and sold it to them, which not only leveled the yard of the new house, but also increased a lot of income.

The sea pond in front of the house has been closed, and shrimp farming is planned inside.

The road out of the village, along the foot of the hill that was leveled after the opening of the mountain and the excavation of the sea pond, was rebuilt, and it was all paid by zF.

The mountain village in my hometown has bid farewell to the history of going out to climb the mountain!

My mother also told me that this year, the eel fry on the seaside at the door of my house are booming, and the kind of small things as thin as hair are very valuable, and there are special outsiders to buy them, 2 to 3 yuan a piece, and the eldest brother has also caught a lot.

With the increase of surrounding construction projects, sand and mud have become very scarce, and the two elder brothers dig sand in their own contracted land and sell it to others, and a tractor can be sold for more than 10 yuan.

"The road is open, the information is smart, and the money is easy to make."

"It's changed a lot when I'm with you!"

I am very excited and happy to hear this, and I feel that the country's policy of reform and opening up is benefiting my hometown and relatives.

I also told my mother that I wanted to take exams and struggle in the army.

The mother was very calm.

"It's good to go back to my hometown, and the commune's machinery factory will definitely be able to go."

"You can't read and count worse than others."

I understand that mother, as a rural woman, it is an ideal life for her children to be able to eat hot pits and hot meals within the range she should be able to.

Maybe she is also reassuring me, "There are three points of land at home, so I can't starve you!" ”

Ordinary mothers can't speak grandiose, but these simple words have given me a strong spiritual backbone:

You don't have to bend your waist for three buckets of rice!

My mother also brought me a piece of news that surprised me very much: "Allah Taiwan is back!" ”

Zhoushan dialect "big" is uncle.

Not an uncle, though, but he's the closest thing to my mother in the whole lineage.

When his mother was 14 years old, she cried so much that she watched him being captured by the Kuomintang army.

I knew that there were no three direct links between Taiwan and the mainland at that time, so I asked curiously:

"How did you get back?"

"A group of them went to Japan for a tour, and they came back from the embassy to Shanghai."

He had just been married when he was captured, had no children, and had a mother at home.

His mother waited every day, waited every night, cried blindly, and died when I was very young.

His wife did not remarry, found a man to intervene, and gave birth to a boy and a girl.

The boy is the same age as me, and the daughter is two years older.

The people who were arrested in Taiwan through the same village two years ago had a correspondence with their relatives who transferred to xG.

He replied that his mother was still there, his wife was unmarried, and he gave birth to a daughter, which was the seed he left behind.

I also sent a photo of my daughter for him to see.

I heard that he would send some money from time to time.

"Allah is very sad to know that he has been deceived, and he can't cry when he comes back."

I asked my mother:

"And what about later?"

"He had no relatives in Taiwan, his passport was taken away, and the commune came forward to drive the door-to-door person away and live in a temple, and he built a new house to live with his wife and her two children."

The mother said that she had done a lot of work to ease his anger towards his wife and their two children.

I've always heard that Taiwanese people are rich before, and asked with a smile:

"Does my father-in-law in Taiwan have a lot of money?"

Mother said:

"We won't ask, whether he has money or not, it's good that my uncle can come back, and there are many who haven't come back?"

Pity my blind wife who cried and didn't live to the day her son returns!
