456 Withering and Decaying Empty Nest Village
After listening to Scarn's talk about Xiuxiu and Cao Shufen, Hua Tiancheng sighed, then looked at Scarn's name and asked again: "Tell me about the situation of the elderly and children in Meirengu."
"Okay. We had an elementary school in Meirengou before. In the cave behind the mountain, the cave collapsed, and the elementary school in Meirengou was removed. Now our children in Meirengou have to go to elementary school and have to take a ride to Jinniu Town every day. It is very unsafe to take a bus back and forth. Some children do not go home at noon in order to save money. One child did not go home at noon and had no place to go, so he wandered on the street and was crushed to death by a bus.
The farmers here are cold in their houses in winter, so they pull wires randomly. Some of them caught fire at home and some were amputated by high voltage electricity. Many young couples went out to work and left their children to take care of their grandparents. Many of the grandparents were illiterate, and the youngest were in their sixties. The children were spoiled by these elderly people and could not control their current children. Now they are all children, and they cannot beat or scold them, and they are spoiled.
Sometimes I see some children standing silently at the forks of Jinniu Town, looking into the distance with tears in my eyes. I know that these children miss their parents. The children are concerned about the hearts of parents working in the city. Some young parents earn more money and never come back during the Chinese New Year. The money has been earned, but the children have become bad. Sometimes, the young parents who come back occasionally do not know their parents. Because our beauty furrow is very poor, many of the children wear dirty clothes, and grandparents are dizzy. As long as they can get a bite of hot rice, it is good.
Some elderly people are sick and are afraid of spending money if they don’t go to the hospital for treatment. They just lie in bed to fight, and the more they resist, the more serious they become. In our beauty ditch, there are old patients at home for several years. They slowly die one by one, one dies today and one dies tomorrow. It makes me feel very uncomfortable, I really want to give some strength to the beauty ditch, but I have scars but not enough strength. I don’t know what I can do?
I wandered in the dark beauty ditch, and sometimes I heard some old people screaming from illness. Our beauty ditch is located in a mountain valley that is not too remote, but it is so poor that I can't understand. Why can other villages live a good life while our beauty ditch is becoming more and more poor? Who can tell me the answer? Since you returned to the beauty ditch, I have seen hope and the truth that man conquers nature. If no one can lead us, our beauty ditch will continue to be poor.
There are fifty families in Meirendou, thirty elderly people and almost twenty children. Our Meirendou is just a dirt street, which can kill people. Because there is no sewage discharge, everyone pours dirty water on the street. In summer, flies are flying all over the sky. In winter, the dirt street is full of ice, and even people can't leave. When Liu Dana first became the village director, he was ambitious and wanted to make some corrections to Meirendou, but the resistance he encountered was too great. Many things he thought of could not be implemented, and after a long time, he was discouraged and left himself alone. Now the hygiene of our Meirendou can be said to be extremely dirty and messy.
Brother, you live on the hillside of Shenlong Mountain. You rarely go to Meirengou for a walk. You don’t know many families yet. Some people have not seen you now, and some people’s families are even more chaotic than mine. Liu Dana, the village director of Meirengou, shrank back and stealing was very rampant. Some people say that after the Crip in Meirengou stole the ox, he gave Liu Dadi a share of the money. I just heard that I don’t know whether it is true or not. Anyway, when the Crip was alive, the Crip and Liu Dana had a good relationship. The two often ate and drank delicious food together, and no one knew where their money came from.
We in Meirengu have no entertainment facilities. After we finish our work in the fields, we can only watch TV. What are you watching on TV now? The TV series is still being played more than ten times. The villagers all sweep the snow in front of the door, and no one cares about each other. Now in Meirengu, Liu Dana and Huaxiong, the two families in Meirengu, are in good condition, and the others are very poor. Now some families go out to work, and no one cultivates the land of the family for 50 yuan a year without anyone cultivating it. In this way, many land has been abandoned, and grass that is more than one person tall has grown. It makes people feel sad when they see it, as if these grasses are growing in my heart.
You said that I was born in such an environment. Can I be cleansed? I don’t know what the brigade secretary Zhang Shishun thought, but I was a little desperate. Just when I was about to give up, brother, you came back. I didn’t take you seriously at that time, but as time went by, your reputation became bigger and bigger, which made me unable to help but pay attention to you. Although my scar is also bad, I don’t do things that harm the sky. I have my bottom line in doing things. My scar is already in a black and white. I used to wander alone in the beauty ditch late at night, sleeping at home during the day. When I woke up, I came out to take a walk. In this flash, a few years have passed. I didn’t get into college back then, and I was very upset. I also had dreams, but I didn’t sound the horn to rush towards my dreams.
Many people see me idling with a cigarette and throwing Erlang every day. In fact, I am very anxious and depressed. I don’t know how to change myself. I don’t know how much effect I will have after changing. My parents have been peeking at the night and peeking at a young woman taking a bath. I don’t know how many times I have beaten me. Later, I was extremely disappointed with me and I just want to do whatever I want.
I am the only one who is like me who is still wandering in the Beauty Grotto in my twenties. I know the situation of each family in Beauty Grotto, and it is all in my mind and the pain in my heart. Beauty Grotto is a mess and a hot potato. No one dares to take it. Only the three fat men and Hua Xiong in Beauty Grotto still want to make some money in Beauty Grotto. Beauty Grotto is like a terminally ill patient, and urgently needs to be treated by a fairy doctor like my elder brother. Otherwise, this famous Beauty Grotto in history will completely disappear with the process of urbanization."
When talking about this, Scar Meng burst into tears. Hua Tiancheng handed Scar Meng a cigarette, patted his shoulder heavily and said, "The Beauty Groove is full of holes, and it really needs to be properly treated. Thank you for telling me so much. I have already had a basic understanding of the current situation of the Scar Meng. Don't worry, you will see a clean and tidy beauty Groove. When necessary, the Scar Mengo will come out to revitalize our Scar Mengo, because I, Hua Tiancheng, is also a villager of Scar Mengo. It is my unshirkable responsibility to change my hometown."
