Jining Village is built along a river, with towering mountains on the other side.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and at this time the sky is covered with dark clouds, and a rainstorm may come at any time.
Lin Yi increased the speed and the car was shaking. The little guy's face turned pale and he was obviously feeling uncomfortable.
"We're almost there, Guoguo, just bear with it for a while." Lin Yi comforted him with a few words and slowed down a bit.
Almost in an instant, torrential rain swept in, and the mountains and fields were soaked in water.
The mountain road became even more muddy, but fortunately the rain came and went quickly.
In less than two minutes, the rain stopped, the sun rose, and the entire forest was filled with mist.
Before coming, Lin Yi had already contacted the village chief.
Fortunately, the village chief still remembered him and said he would pick him up at the village entrance when the time came.
Lin Yi looked up and saw the appearance of the village gradually emerging from the thick fog. In the misty rain, he could see a few figures holding umbrellas, slowly reaching for their hands, calling for the wanderers to return.
Lin Yi's vision was a little blurry.
Maybe it's because there are still water drops on the glass...
The car stopped at the entrance of the village. I rolled down the window and saw a dark-skinned man in a wrinkled suit, smoking a cigarette. When he saw Lin Yi, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Uncle Zhang, it's really you."
"Xiao Yi, you haven't been home for many years, come home and have a seat."
The villagers were still so enthusiastic and invited Lin Yi to come to the village chief's house.
Jining Village is not big, with about 200 people. It takes only the time of smoking a cigarette to walk from one end of the village to the other.
Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to work, and those who remain are elderly people.
In fact, most young people don’t know Lin Yi, and only the older people still have some impression of Lin Yi.
Everyone in the village gathered at the village chief's door, looking at the car parked in front of the door, touching this and looking there, and talking in whispers.
The village chief's house is a wooden structure with two floors. The lower floor is used to raise chickens and ducks, and the second floor is for living. There is also a small piece of land at the door for growing daily vegetables.
Lin Yi carried Guoguo out of the car. Guoguo was very scared seeing so many unfamiliar faces, and she lay in Lin Yi's arms with a pout.
"Fellow villagers, I'm Lin Yi. Hey, isn't this Uncle Zhao from the grocery store? How come you look so much older?" Lin Yi quickly reached out and shook the hand of an old man.
When I was a child, I often bought instant noodles on credit from Uncle Zhao’s house.
But Uncle Zhao never asked him for money.
"Xiao Yi, it's great that you can come back."
Lin Yi held Guoguo and introduced himself to a group of people, then let him stay at home, and then Lin Yi opened the trunk.
Of course, he didn't come empty-handed this time. Lin Yi bought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol.
The wines are all high-end liquors such as Moutai and Wuliangye, and the cigarettes are good cigarettes such as Yunnan Yunnan and Zhonghua.
Lin Yi distributed them one by one.
"Xiao Yi has made great progress now."
"Yes, when he was little, I said this kid would be great in the future."
"I heard that this car costs hundreds of thousands."
Everyone was talking about it, and they looked at Lin Yi with more admiration.
Seeing that the roads in the village were so bad, Lin Yi announced on the spot that he was willing to invest 500,000 yuan to help repair the roads in the village, which immediately received a round of applause.
Because Jining Village is too small, it has long been designated as a natural village and the government has basically not cared about it. People have wanted to build a road for a long time, but they have never been able to raise funds and the higher authorities are unwilling to allocate funds, so the matter has been delayed.
Lin Yi came this time to find a way to improve the economic situation of the villagers.
