Of course, just throwing money around won't work.
Lin Yi plans to investigate here in the next few days and then find a professional to come up with a solution.
After a while, the village chief came out and said that the meal was ready and asked the villagers to go back first.
Everyone dispersed.
Because it was not long after the Chinese New Year, the village could still smell the festive atmosphere. There were two large lanterns hanging in front of the village chief's door, and they had not been taken down yet.
It seemed like in an instant, Lin Yi felt like he was back in the small village ten years ago.
Guoguo sat obediently on the small bamboo stool, not moving.
Every time he is in this kind of environment, the lively Guoguo will be quiet for a while.
Once you get familiar with it, you will become lively again.
Lin Yi was not worried.
"Xiao Yi, you've really made it. I think those college students in the village aren't living as well as you." The village chief took a deep sniff of the Zhonghua cigarette in front of him, with an intoxicated look on his face. Then he put the cigarette in his mouth, looked up and smiled.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, just a small achievement."
"Humble. By the way, is this your daughter?"
"Yes, Guoguo calls him Uncle Zhao."
"Uncle Zhao!" Guoguo's soft voice was very pleasant to the ear.
"Good, good, that's great." Village Chief Zhao nodded.
At this time, a woman wearing an apron came in, smiling gently, and said, "You are a very sensible child. By the way, it's time for dinner. It's stuffy in the room. Let's eat under the eaves. It's cooler."
"Thank you, Sister Xinghua." Lin Yi helped bring up five or six dishes and placed them on the bamboo table outside.
The little guy had been hungry for a long time. When he heard that he was going to eat, he became very active and took the initiative to move a small stool at home.
But the table was still too high, and the little guy had to stand up to pick up the food.
Lin Yi couldn't do anything with her and could only hold her in his arms.
So the four of them slowly started eating at the table.
The 40-watt tungsten filament bulb in the house emitted a dim yellow light. It was quiet at night, with only occasional whistling sounds from the mountains and the rustling of bamboo.
The dishes on the table were all the most common country meals, but Lin Yi ate them voraciously.
It's been a long time since I last tasted this kind of flavor.
"Xiao Yi, why are you in such a hurry? If you want to eat, your sister-in-law will make it for you every day."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Your cooking skills are really good."
The village chief grinned and watched Lin Yi eat quietly, with a hint of memories in his eyes.
"Xiao Yi, are you returning to your hometown this time just to build roads there?" Village Chief Zhao said lightly.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "I want to take the child back home to have a look. I hope that no matter whether she is rich or poor in the future, she will not forget her roots."
"Well, your house was destroyed by an old tree behind it two years ago. I think you moved back. The things in your house have been broken into pieces. You have been living with us for the past few days." The village chief knocked on the pipe and said seriously.
"Wouldn't that be a bit of a bother?"
"Why are you so polite to me? You built the road for the village, which is a great contribution. If I still let you go back to that broken house, the villagers will poke me in the back. No more words allowed. It's settled." The village chief made the decision with a stern face.
Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. We must have a drink today." Village Chief Zhao said, and asked Sister Xinghua to bring a can of rice wine.
Poured into two bowls, although it looks cloudy, it still tastes very good.
Lin Yi drank it all in one gulp, feeling the taste was refreshing and dry, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
