After a simple rebirth

They spent the Spring Festival in Guangdong Province. Fu Yu bought a lot of snacks for them. It was at that time that Fu Ying gained weight for the first time, gaining 10 kilograms of flesh and big thick legs.

Specifically, the pants that once fit perfectly were very difficult to put on, and got stuck at the thigh. Then after I finally got them on, when I squatted down to get something, they tore in two with a loud sound.

From the buttocks to the thigh split, a pair of pants was gone.

Fu Ying didn't have the strength to sew it back to its original shape, but she was too embarrassed to sew it back to its original shape because she couldn't wear it anymore.

Fortunately, it happened in the room and not outside, so social death was avoided.

That was the first time Fu Ying realized that she had gained weight, and that being fat meant she couldn’t even wear pants.

Later, I seemed to have lost a little weight, but not too much. At least until now, I still have some meat.

Fu Ying didn't expect Fu Zhe to bring this up. "I remember that I took a bus to Guangdong Province to celebrate the New Year that year."

"Yes, the snow was too heavy that year. So many cars overturned. I have never seen such heavy snow in my life!" Fu Zhe sighed.

Fu Ying was speechless, he was only a teenager and he was already lamenting about his life!

"That's because you don't have enough experience! I saw bigger snow when I was a child. I forgot which year it was. At that time, grandma was still alive and we had a TV at home. You were watching TV at home.

That night, my father and I went to Pojiao to buy things. As soon as we went out, we found that it was snowing heavily. There was a person on the road holding an umbrella, and the umbrella was full of snow.

That was the first time I saw heavy snow. I caught the snow with my hands. It was white and as big as chicken feathers. I could see it clearly. The ground was covered with thick snow, which reflected the light. It was very bright even without street lights.

My dad and I had snow on our heads and shoulders.

The next morning, the road was covered with thick ice, just like in 08, and there was also a lot of snow on the ground. Because the road was too slippery, several passers-by fell on the slope in front of our door. My second uncle also fell when he came to our house.

As soon as Fu Ying said this, Fu Zhe had an impression.

"I remember that Kui next door also fell down. We followed Third Brother and took his ice skates. We started from Ai's house and skated all the way to the big river ditch."

Fu Ying wasn't sure if what Fu Zhe said was the same year as what she said, but she nodded and pretended it was.

While chatting about all sorts of things, they arrived at the county station and Fu Ying and Fu Zhe got off.

When Fu's mother was not around, Fu Zhe felt inexplicably excited.

"Second sister, have you ever been to the county? Do you want us to go for a walk first?"

Fu Ying...I don't want to go shopping. What's there to see?

"We are going back to Gumang. If we don't go back now, you won't have time to cook lunch!"

Fu Zhe disagreed, "Why go home and cook? Just eat outside!"

Fu Ying looked at him speechlessly, "What do you want to shop for? Do you want to buy food or clothes?"

Fu Ying actually wanted to ask him where he got the money to go shopping. Buying clothes and food all require money, but she was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so she kept her mouth shut.

"I've rarely been to the county town. It's a rare opportunity for me to pass by. Mom isn't here, so I'll just go shopping!"

Fu Ying thought about it and felt that Fu Zhe seemed to have never been to the county town at this time. They rarely came to the county town, let alone had time to go around.

Fu Ying was not interested in the county town and had never come there on purpose to play, but she had been there a few times for business.

I walked past it once when I went to the county hospital with Fu's mother to visit relatives, once when I went to see an old Chinese doctor with Fu's second aunt, and once when I went to the exit and entry point to apply for a passport and visa. Otherwise, I just passed by.

Wumeng County is a very large county. It is said to be the most populous county in Yunnan Province. I don’t know how large its area is, but it is quite large because there are many towns under it, and each town is quite large.

The county town is also built on the mountain. The current central area is where Fu Ying and her friends took the bus. Because of the constant coming and going of people taking the bus, it has driven consumption on both sides.

There is no pillar industry here, and it mainly relies on agriculture. I heard from the older generation that there are mines, but they dare not dig, and they didn't say why.

In later generations, the province vigorously developed the tourism industry and took the lead in organizing tourism recommendation conferences, but they were mainly focused on the urban area. Their place was too remote, the distance was too far, the attractions were not attractive enough, and the tourism industry failed to flourish.

Some villages and towns are even poorer than national-level poverty-stricken counties.

Fu Ying has been to the neighboring national-level poverty-stricken county. It is said that people all over the country know about it and have provided support.

But that place is much better than theirs. Apart from other things, it is much better than Aunt Fu's house, and Aunt Fu's house is not the worst in the area.

Fortunately, Guangdong Province and Shanghai City took turns to provide assistance, and their situation really improved and they successfully escaped poverty.

The county town at this moment has not yet caught up with the trend, nor has it vigorously developed real estate or the appearance of the county. It is quite ordinary, and cars passing by can still raise dust.

Fu Ying asked Fu Zhe where he wanted to go. There were not many wide roads in the county. There was only one South Street running from north to south, one Harmony Road running from east to west, and the street garden was the intersection. The rest were small roads, and the road conditions and sizes were determined by the terrain.

Fu Zhe hesitated for a moment, then went to South Street first and walked around to see the situation.

Fu Ying looked at him and sighed silently, "South Street! Just think of it as climbing a mountain!"

It is also quite interesting that South Street is built on the mountain. It does not have an undulating slope, but when you stand at the bottom of the slope and look up, it is just like measuring it with a ruler. You can see the buildings on the top at a glance, rising gradually, steadily and orderly.

If this happens in a certain city, the highest point of the road can be said to be a Feng Shui treasure land. It is a good place to climb up and see far away. It must be the location of the CPPCC.

However, because there are many mountains in Wumeng, the building above is the highest point of the road, not the highest point of the entire county.

But it is true that all government agencies are nearby.

Fu Zhe was talking while climbing, and Fu Ying silently bought two bottles of water to replenish her energy.

Finally reaching the top, Fu Zhe asked where the two sides were.

Fu Ying thought about it. On the left was Yu Xiang's house, but the two families were not familiar with each other at the moment, so there was no need to visit. Later, it was bought by Kaiyuan Group, and a large area was built into a residential area, which was also considered a landmark.

On the right is the old street, which is considered the old county town. The houses are a bit old, and that's where you buy second-hand goods. There are also many snacks, and there is a very famous snack street. The old Chinese doctor that Fu Ying saw is also there.

Fu Zhe chose to go to the old street.

The roads in the old street are narrower. Along the way, I saw many shops being transferred. Business was not doing well and the flow of people moved to the street garden.

At the end of the walk, they saw a park. Fu Zhe was not interested, as he had seen too many parks in Guangdong Province. Fu Ying was even less interested, so they walked down the slope to the right.

The snack street was not called Snack Street, nor did it have a sign like in later generations that read: Internet celebrity check-in snack street, Internet celebrity snacks**.

As you walk down, you will see many stalls selling things, the most common of which is roasted potatoes.

There is a small oval stove below, with charcoal or honeycomb coal burning in it. There is a small rack on top. The baked potatoes are placed on the stove to keep them warm after the burnt skin is scraped off.

Most of these people are older people who set up stalls. They just need a stove, a bag of potatoes, chili powder which they have prepared in advance, and a stool, and they can set up the stall.

Fu Ying was not interested in the roasted potato, so Fu Zhe bought one from a grandma. When the old lady saw the two of them, she cut the potato in half, smeared some chili powder on it and handed it to them.

Fu Ying took it, thanked the old man, asked Fu Zhe to pay, and then started eating.
