After drinking and eating, everyone gathered at the table to play mahjong. Zhao Yi sat on a stove and watched them play. The TV next to him was also on. However, there is no Spring Festival Gala yet. This will not be held until next year. One term.
The four of them played mahjong without any calculation of money. It was just a simple pastime without any profit or loss. As for why Zhao Yi didn't play? Mainly because he felt that there was no point in going up to fight. He felt uncomfortable if he was allowed to do so, and he felt unhappy if they were not allowed to do so, so it was appropriate to watch quietly from the side.
When the time almost reached 12 o'clock, Zhou Zhigang got off the mahjong table and took out a large circle of firecrackers that he had prepared earlier in preparation for opening the door. When the 12 o'clock bell just rang, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Jinjue and Zhao Yi all came to the yard and unfolded the firecrackers. Then the crackling firecrackers sounded. Zhou Jinyu took out a hand-held firework and set off the fireworks excitedly.
After opening the door, even after New Year's Eve, the new year has arrived, and the age has also increased by one year. People in the countryside usually keep the New Year's Eve together. This year, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Jinjue and Zhao Yi planned to keep up the New Year's Eve, while Wang Huilan and Zhou Jinyu opened the door and went back to the house to sleep.
The entertainment program in the second half was changed to playing chess, and the three of them took turns, but they were not lonely. There is no program on the TV, just a snowflake.
After daybreak, the three men went back and wandered for a while. At 8 o'clock, they were called up again. It turned out that Wang Huilan had already prepared soup noodles with some leftover dishes from last night. This is more common in Jiangxi. What breakfast looks like on the first day of the first lunar month.
After breakfast, the next project is to visit relatives and friends, usually on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I go to my uncle’s house, which is a sign of respect for my mother. The so-called aunt and uncle refer to my eldest uncle. After the second day of the Lunar New Year, I go to other relatives’ homes to pay New Year’s greetings. , it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s agreed upon.
They all went to visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings. It was not convenient for Zhao to follow him, so he went to Dr. Luo's house with the gifts he brought. Fortunately, it was not far, so he arrived in a short time.
More than four years have passed, and Dr. Luo is still the same. He is still in the clinic on the first day of the first lunar month. Although he is a barefoot doctor, his professionalism has not been compromised at all.
Seeing Zhao come in, Dr. Luo quickly said: "Why are you here? How are you doing recently?"
"The past few years have gone well. I didn't come back to celebrate the New Year last year because I was busy. I won't come back to celebrate the New Year this year. Here are some small gifts. Take them." Zhao Yi handed the gift in his hand to Dr. Luo.
"Just come and see me. Why are you bringing so many gifts?" Dr. Luo declined.
"Just take it. How can you come empty-handed for a New Year visit?" Zhao Yi said and handed the thing to him again.
Seeing what Zhao Yi said, Dr. Luo was not polite. He found a place to put the things and prepared to take them home at noon, and then sat down and chatted with Zhao Yi.
No patient came this morning. The two of them sat in the empty clinic chatting all morning. Then they arrived at the hotel. Zhao Yi followed Dr. Luo to his house for lunch. The food cooked by Dr. Luo’s wife was quite good. It was so delicious that Zhao Yi couldn't help but eat an extra half bowl of rice, and then said goodbye to Dr. Luo.
After returning in the afternoon, Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu came back after having lunch at their uncle's house, perhaps because they were afraid that Zhao Yi would be bored at home alone, while Zhou Zhigang and Wang Huilan had not returned yet.
In the next few days, they were visiting relatives, which inevitably made Zhao Yi feel a little homesick. The life experience of the owner of this body was a mystery. Even Zhou Ling didn't know it, let alone Zhao Yi.
Thinking of his previous life, his hometown was not far from here, in a small village in the next county, and Zhao Yi wanted to visit.
After making up his mind, Zhao Yi told Zhou Zhigang's family that he wanted to go out for a walk alone and would be back in a day or two. Then grab some luggage and set off towards your destination.
To be honest, Zhao Yi is still a little uneasy in his heart. If his relatives are still there, he doesn't know how to face it. If they are not there, then it is a philosophical question. Is the universe he is in now still the original universe
Although these problems are difficult to solve, Zhao Yi has no intention of solving them, but just relies on his intuition. When the bus arrived at the next county town, it looked shabby and less prosperous than I remembered.
The road back to the village has not changed much, it is still a dirt road. Fortunately, the snow fell a few years ago, and after so many days of exposure, the road is not muddy.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery next to him, as well as some faces and buildings that had clues from his own memory, Zhao Yi felt as if he was in another world.
After walking 10 miles and passing 5 villages, I finally arrived at the village where I was born in my previous life. The black-tiled adobe houses were still the same as they were in my childhood. The layout of the village has not changed much. Even many people in the village have different views. Even now, I can still name them, but they look very young. Their parents in the previous life were about the same age as myself, so Zhao Yi didn't know how to speak.
The villagers were very concerned about the arrival of a stranger in the village, because almost no strangers would enter the village in this day and age. Those who entered the village were either salesmen or thieves.
Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't have a salesman's burden on his shoulders, he was definitely not a salesman, but his temperament didn't look like a shady person. Seeing a young uncle of his previous life looking at him, Zhao Yi knew that it would be difficult to leave the village without explaining, so he said: "I am a student at Kyoto University. Our teacher gave me a topic before the Chinese New Year, which is to study rural areas. Economic situation, so I came to the village to do some research.”
When they heard Zhao Yi's words, they saw that he did have the temperament of a student and that he was an educated person, and they were immediately suspicious.
Seeing that they were already a little convinced, Zhao Yi took out another stack of paper from his backpack. It still had the name of Kyoto University in big red letters on it, and there were also drawn survey forms on it. As soon as the literate people in the village saw the big red characters, they no longer doubted what he said.
Then Zhao Yi used this reason to visit every household and fill in the answers to some questions in the form. When he arrived at his old house, to be honest, he felt very uneasy.
The door was open, and Zhao entered the room. The layout inside was the same as before, but the furnishings were different. The left wing was not partitioned into a second floor for hiding things. When he was a child, he often liked to climb up there after school. Eat sugar cakes and sugar cakes.
Maybe she saw someone coming into the house. A woman came out of the kitchen. When she saw Zhao Yi standing alone in the middle of the hall, she asked, "Do you have anything?"
Seeing this woman, Zhao Yi was sure that he didn't recognize her. Is this a deviation after traveling through time
"I'm here to conduct a rural economic survey, just to ask some questions." Zhao Yi looked at the woman and said quickly.
"Oh, just ask, I will answer whatever I know." The woman was a straightforward person.
Then he asked the questions one by one according to the design. After filling out the form, he was ready to go out. As a result, a young man came in. This was his father in his previous life, but his mother seemed to have changed.
"Honey, who is this and what does he do?" the young man asked.
"They said they were conducting an investigation and have already finished asking questions," the woman said.
"Oh." When the young man heard what was going on, he didn't ask any more questions.
As soon as Zhao left the house and came outside, he had mixed feelings in his heart. His father had changed his wife, and everything would change later. His younger brothers and sisters would definitely not be the original younger brothers and sisters.
After completing the door-to-door investigation, Zhao Yi found the village party secretary's house and took out the 100,000 yuan he had prepared. The excuse was that it was the poverty alleviation funds given by the Kyoto Poverty Alleviation Fund. He had control over it and saw the difficulties in the village. , intending to carry out poverty alleviation in the village.
With such a set of rhetoric, the village party secretary believed it. Besides, the scammer would not offer real money. Zhao Yi hoped that the village would use this "poverty alleviation fund" to cultivate fish in the lake belonging to their village. This village is right next to an inner lake in Poyang Lake, and the water area of this inner lake is allocated to each village according to the distance of the village.
The money was enough for them to net the lake that belonged to them and then buy enough fry for fish farming. The village chief agreed and called the village accountant and relevant representatives over to explain the situation. Zhao Yi also reiterated the reasons and hoped that they would make good use of this "poverty alleviation fund."
With so many people testifying, I am not worried that they will swallow up the money. After finishing the matter here, Zhao Yi left the village and walked back, and then went to his mother's village in his previous life to see what was going on here.
The excuse was still the same. I found out that my mother from the previous life was indeed still there, but she had married someone from another village. The God of Destiny just lightly plucked the strings, and the result was such a result.
Before Zhao Yi left, he stuffed 10,000 yuan into the back door of his grandmother's house in his previous life, hoping to help them then. Then he left the village, returned to the bus station in the county seat, took the bus back to Xiaoyang County, and returned to Zhou Zhigang's home.
After informing Zhou Zhigang and the others, he returned to his house, lay down on his bed, looked at the black tiles and beams on the roof, his mind went blank, maybe he was thinking, but Zhao Yi didn't know what he was thinking about. .
Maybe this is fate, but at the right time, the string of fate was plucked, and it was changed beyond recognition. (End of chapter)
