The Muya Highway is very new, and it is very smooth to walk on.
If the driver hadn't told Kaiwuer in a very sure tone that this was the newly built road in Yakashi Village, Kaiwuer would not have believed it.
In his impression, it is already a great thing for the village to spend money to build a small dirt road.
Roads like the Muya Highway can only be built by the public.
Look at the thick asphalt laid on the cement road.
The car walks on it, not to mention how stable it is.
There are green belts on both sides of the road, which makes people feel that it is better than those desert roads built by the government.
Back in the village, the driver collected the money and left very quickly.
Kaiwuer took Toyhan with his luggage and walked to Yakashi Village not far from the road.
Looking from afar, nothing seems to have changed in the village, it is old and dilapidated, and under the reflection of the sun that has gradually turned to the west, it looks old and tired.
"It seems that nothing has changed here?"
As he walked, Toyhan said, "Why don't you build the road into the village? If the village is paved with concrete roads, it will be much easier to walk."
This is a normal question. After such a long road has been repaired, there is no concrete road in the village.
The road is still some distance away from the village, so the village still retains the original dirt road. It feels like ninety-nine steps have been taken, but the last step is reserved and not continued.
Kai Wuer knew this, and said to the woman: "I heard from Kerim that the village has been doing farmhouse entertainment, and the original characteristics of the village must be preserved, so everything in the village cannot be changed too much, eh , the house should be refurbished and rested at most, and no new ones can be built.”
After a slight pause, he went on to say, "It's also because of this that the village said they want to build a new village, just to keep the old one."
Toyhan didn't know what the farmhouse music was all about, but after listening to the man's words, he felt that since it could make money, the roads in the village should not be repaired.
For those of them who grew up in a poor environment, making money is the most important thing. As for beauty, it has to be left behind.
The two walked slowly towards the village. Gradually, as they got closer, they saw more things in the village.
Behind the village, there is actually a fruit forest, and the fruit trees are arranged in rows very neatly.
That should be the orchard of the village that Kerim mentioned.
Kaiwuer looked at the orchard in surprise, and said to Toyhan: "We didn't have these before. We lack water here, so it's hard to grow things. I remember that when I was young, Ata cultivated a small vegetable field. After the wind and sand, it will be gone... I never thought that such a large orchard can be planted now, I really can't believe it until I see it with my own eyes."
Toyhan listened to his man's words and didn't say anything, but after hearing what he had heard from the Uighur aunt and the driver's brother, and what he saw before him, he already believed what the uncle said. Yes, it seems that the village has really changed a lot in the past two years.
However, the only thing she wants to know now is whether the situation in the village is really as optimistic as her uncle said.
If I come back to live with a man in the future, will I be able to live a good life.
When the two entered the village, they passed by the entrance of the village.
Under the old Populus euphratica tree at the entrance of the village, old people are sitting there to rest and chat.
This is the most common sight in most Uighur villages, and Toyhan is no stranger to it.
Although Kai Wu'er had been away from home for a long time, he still knew those old people and went to say hello one by one.
"Kaiwuer, you're back too, maybe you heard the news? Tsk, there are so many people coming back these two days!"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, how can working outside be more comfortable at home?"
"Come back quickly, you Apa is getting old, come back and find a job, take good care of her..."
The old people were all talking cheerfully, and they seemed to be used to people like Kai Wuer who came back from outside.
After exchanging pleasantries, Kaiwuer led Toyhan towards the house.
This is where he grew up and he knows every nook and cranny.
But it was such a familiar place, but he walked for a long time. Every time he went to a place, he would tell Toyhan about his past, hesitating and daring not to go forward.
This is probably a bit close to the nostalgia...
Toyhan went over to hold the man's hand and said, "Let's go back first, and you can take me out for a stroll later, Apa is still waiting for you at home!"
"I don't know... I don't know how Apa is doing. Kerim said that her health has improved a lot, and I don't know if it's true..."
Kai Wuer's voice was a little trembling. Although he has been sending money to support his family, he does not go home all year round. His old mother can only be taken care of by his younger siblings. This makes him very guilty and feels sorry for the family members.
"Aren't you back now?"
Toyhan knew the man's heart disease, comforted him, and dragged him forward, turned around an alley, and finally came to the front of the house.
"this is my house?"
Seeing the door of his own house, Kai Wuer opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Toyhan was also surprised, looking at the spacious courtyard door, a little speechless.
In my impression, when I came here three years ago, the gate of the courtyard was broken and small, and the earth wall of the courtyard was broken due to lack of repairs, making it very dilapidated.
But the courtyard gate in front of me is tall and beautiful, with strong Uighur characteristics, obviously newly built.
Moreover, the courtyard walls on both sides of the courtyard gate are neat and tidy, and there is no trace of damage at all, so it is very comfortable to look at.
how so
Kaiwuer and Toyhan were very puzzled.
The money they send back every month is considerable. Although the family can live more than enough, it is not enough to have money to repair the house.
Now that the family has become like this, it really made them suddenly full of doubts.
The timid feeling of being close to the hometown disappeared all of a sudden, and Kai Wuer walked towards his home, pushed the door open and entered.
People in the village usually do not lock the courtyard door, because there are not many outsiders coming, and everyone is from the village, and they are not guarded against thieves.
"Apa, I'm back!"
As soon as he entered the door, Kai Wuer couldn't help but greeted him loudly.
While greeting him, he looked at the situation in the yard, just like the surprise that the gate gave him before, the situation in the yard also surprised him.
Everything here is well organized, the house has been repaired, and it is no longer dilapidated like it used to be.
Even the faded parts of the houses have been repainted, which looks particularly clean and neat.
The grape trellis in the middle of the courtyard used to be so old that it was about to fall down, but now it has been erected again. The old grape vines grow very well on it, covering the trellises, making the environment of the entire courtyard very comfortable.
Around, there are many hens and chicks, all of which are free-range, wandering around the courtyard, looking at it gives people a very interesting feeling.
"Kai Wuer..."
A thin figure came out of the room, saw Kai Wuer, and immediately walked over excitedly.
That was the mother that Kai Wu'er was thinking of, and Kai Wu'er hurriedly greeted her and hugged her tightly.
"Kaiwuer, you are back, you are finally back..."
"Apa, I'm back."
Kaiwu'er couldn't help but shed tears. He hadn't seen his mother for more than three years.
Because of his poor health, his mother couldn't go all the way to a place with a phone to call him, so it was the first time Kaiwuer heard his mother's voice in the past three years.
