After their family had dinner, it was already dark outside.

Their village was connected to electricity a few years ago, and now every household can use electricity.Their house was still equipped with old big light bulbs. When the lights in the house were turned on, the light bulbs on the wall emitted a warm yellow light, illuminating the whole room.

After the things on the table were cleaned up, Gu Changning went to dig out the tea pots in their house, and made a pot of tea for his grandfather and father. The three of them sat down around the table before he talked about his A plan to go home once.

"What? You mean, you quit your job, sold your house, and want to go home and farm?" Village head Gu thought he had heard it wrong, and he raised his voice when he said the last sentence, obviously I can't quite accept the decision of my son to quit his job and come back to farm.

Grandpa Gu didn't speak, but looked at the eldest grandson with a serious expression on his face.

It just so happened that Gu's mother finished packing the things in the kitchen and walked out. When she heard her husband's words, her jaw almost dropped in fright.Their son quit his good job and sold his newly bought house, so he wants to come back and farm with them?Isn't she dreaming?

Oops... Mother Gu pinched her hand and realized that she wasn't dreaming. This... is real?

Looking at the son who was still sitting there calmly facing the family, Mother Gu was the first to lose her composure, and almost rushed to hug her son and cry, but now Mother Gu is not far from crying, and persuaded The child said: "Big boy, don't be so hard on yourself. You can't bear to go to university and go to work outside. How many people in the village envy you? Why do you just let go of your good work and run back?" Are we farming in this poor place?"

"What's the point of farming? Look at the land we've been planting for half our lives. We're still digging food in the ground, with our backs to the loess and our faces to the sky. Not to mention hard work, we can't make much money in a year. In the bad years, there is no surplus food after a year of hard work, and you have to pay for it, the land is so easy to grow.”

Only farmers like them know the hard work of farming. Gu's mother didn't expect her son to quit his good job and sell the house to run back to farm with them. It was a bolt from the blue.

"It's great for you to work outside. Sitting in the office every day without basking in the sun, the salary for a month's work is much better than that of our land for a year." Gu's mother knows that her son's salary is not low, otherwise I can't buy a house in a big city and let my younger brother study. Why don't I quit my good job and go back to my hometown to farm with them?How can this be done!No matter what Gu's mother said, she could not agree with her son to do this.

"That's right, big boy, you should go back to work in the city, what's the future of this kind of land." Grandma Gu also very much disagreed that the eldest grandson would come back to farm with them, what's the future of this kind of land Ah, where are the college students who come back to farm the land? Does this make others laugh?

"Yeah, big boy, did something happen to you outside? You tell me and I will analyze it for you with your grandfather. We are not afraid of troubles. The most important thing is not to shrink back. We must face difficulties Come on, find a way to solve it, right?" Village head Gu thought that his son had encountered something that couldn't be solved outside, and wanted to run back to hide at home.

Hearing his son's analysis, Grandpa Gu also felt that it made sense. He looked at his grandson and asked, "Did something happen to you outside, grandson?"

The grandma who was sitting there didn't seem to understand what everyone said, and looked at everyone blankly.

"Father, grandpa, don't think too much about it. What could happen to me outside? There really is nothing like this." Gu Changning looked at his father and grandpa's worried faces, and explained with a dumbfounding expression.If he really encountered any trouble outside, he didn't hide at home, but ran outside.

In fact, when he made this decision, he had already thought about the reactions of his family members, and everyone's reactions were within his expectations, so this is why he cut first and played later.Looking at grandma and grandma who were still standing, Gu Changning got up and helped grandma to sit down first, and moved a stool for grandma, "Grandma and grandma, please sit down first, and listen to me tell you."

Grandma Gu sat down reluctantly, wanting to hear what her grandson had to say.

Gu's mother was also sitting on the side, staring at her son who was talking.

Facing the eyes of the whole family looking at him, Gu Changning smiled and said to everyone: "Actually, the idea that I want to go back to my hometown to develop is not just now. I had this idea a long time ago. At that time When I am at work, I often ask myself, why am I sitting here every day, is it for the salary of several thousand yuan a month, or because I like this job and want to have a better development in this industry ...Of course, the former must be an important reason, but if you like it, it’s not necessarily so. So, every time I think about this question, I feel very confused about life and the future.”

"But to ask what I like to do and what I want to do, for a long time, even I didn't know very well. Until one time, an idea flashed in my mind, I want to come back and build our My hometown, use what I have learned to contribute to our hometown. When this idea appeared in my mind, I wanted to quit my job and come back, but at that time I didn’t have any How much savings, so this idea can only be temporarily put aside."

In the past few years, he has worked hard and made money. One of the big motivations is that he wants to make more money. When one day he quits his job and wants to return to his hometown to start a business, at least he has money on hand. A little savings, this part of the savings can be used as the start-up capital for his business, that's what he thought at the time.

Even when he bought a house at the beginning, he was optimistic about the rapid appreciation of the house in the city, and he could make a big difference between buying and selling.If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have enough money on hand, he would have wanted to follow others' example and speculate in real estate.

Selling the house this time, together with the little money he saved on hand, can be used as the start-up capital for him to return to his hometown to start a business.If only he could succeed, if he failed, it would only be a loss of a little money.He is only in his 20s now, he is still young, what are he afraid of?Big deal fails and starts all over again.If he doesn't take advantage of his youth to do what he wants to do, in a few years, he may not have the courage to come back to do such a thing.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, grandma, and grandma, you all believe in me. I made this decision after careful consideration, not on a whim. Whether it's the mountains or the water here, Why are you still so poor, have you thought about this issue?" Gu Changning looked at his father and grandfather, both of whom were village chiefs, and he believed that they must have thought about this issue of.

Meeting the eyes of his grandfather and father, he said: "That's because our young people have gone out, and no one wants to come back. Without young people, our place lacks fresh blood. "

Village head Gu naturally thought about this question, but he never thought that the first young man willing to come back was his son.

From the perspective of the village chief, of course, the village chief hopes that the young people in the village can come back, but from the perspective of the father, he doesn't want his son to return to his hometown so much, because he knows their place better than his son. In the remote mountain valley, what future can there be when I come back here.

"Here, we lack someone who can lead everyone to start a business and get rich. I won't say now that I have the ability to lead everyone to do something, but at least, you let me come back and try, maybe I will succeed? Even if it is I failed, and I’m still young, so I’ll start all over again, and we can’t afford to lose, grandpa and papa, do you think so?” Gu Changning looked at the relatives sitting beside him at the moment, and met his grandma. He was ignorant, and smiled at him with a grin.

Their grandma is over 90 this year, how many years can she live?When he was young, his grandma did not love him less, and his grandparents and parents also grew old year by year. These are the most important relatives in his life.

After all, he has been away from home for more than ten years when he went out to study and work these years. He used to be able to come back home to accompany his relatives during his studies and winter and summer vacations.If you come back to your hometown to start a business, you will not only be able to develop your own business, but also be able to accompany your family.

The grandson's words remembered the passion in Grandpa Gu's heart, and he agreed with the grandson's words very much: "You are right, if the young people in our village have your thoughts, we will not be afraid There is no development."

Even Village Chief Gu nodded, thinking that his son has really grown up, has vision, knows how to think, and is a person capable of great things.

"You old fool, what's wrong, what's the good of asking your grandson to come back to our poor place?" Grandma Gu was so anxious when she saw that the father and son were leaning towards the grandson and supporting the grandson to return to his hometown. .

In recent years, Grandma Gu has complained about the father and son staying in this small village to be the village head. Not only does he earn a lot of money, but he has never had a lot of things. "You two are willing to be the village head of this poor place. Forget it, do you still want your grandson to be like you, guarding this poor place all his life?"

"What's so good about this poor place? One or two of you, you have to come back here."

"Sun, listen to grandma's persuasion, you'd better go back to work in the city, don't learn from your father and grandfather."

After talking about this, Grandma Gu was so anxious that she shed tears.
