Rebirth in the 80s: Everyday Life

Reborn back to the 1980s, the sweet pet daily life of a small citizen, with a golden finger that can be upgraded.

Chapter 258: Mountain Village

After a hearty lunch, Chen Yun and Wen Maidong strolled through the small mountain village, feeling the tranquility, free from the hustle and bustle of the city and without too many worries. The villagers' lifestyle of working from sunrise to sunset also taught them a lesson.

"Does it feel good?"

“This is a mountain village.”

Xiashan Village has grown so rapidly that once the policy changes, everyone changes completely. Now, although it is called a village, it is actually almost becoming a small town.

"Yes! This is a mountain village."

Wen Maidong nodded in agreement. Indeed, this was a typical mountain village. The villagers hadn't changed their lifestyle; everyone behaved the same way.

“Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.”

"Do you like this?" Wen Maidong couldn't help but move closer to Chen Yun.

"I don't really like it, because I still want to fight again."

Shen Yun shook her head. If she had another ten or twenty years, she might like it, but now, she still wanted to work harder. Because she had a golden finger, and she didn't want to waste it. Using this thing to benefit mankind was her real goal.

"Whether you want to work hard or enjoy your retirement, I will always be by your side."

The only one who can accompany her is him, no one else, not even her brothers.

"Um……"

Chen Yun nodded, acquiescing to his company. Yes! The only person who could accompany her for the rest of her life would be Wen Maidong, because their names would be engraved together.

"Sister Fairy, the garland is for you."

"Sister Fairy, let me give you a taste of the cakes my grandma made."

"Fairy sister, what is the world outside like? Are there trains and cars? Are there all the things that Daddy described?"

The children's faces were full of questions. Since Chen Yun and Wen Maidong came from outside, they naturally wanted to know what the outside world was like.

"Yes, everything you mentioned exists out there. Some are good, some are bad. It all depends on whether you can stick to your original intentions."

Touching the child's head, Shen Yun smiled. She knew that even the worst people were still a blank piece of paper when they were young. It was the adults who painted on them with their own pens that changed them and gave them color.

"Is it helpful to tell your children this?"

"I don't know, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't tell you."

Shen Yun pursed her lips. She didn't know if it was any use, but she didn't want these children to yearn for the outside world because of her, unaware of the dangers. She hoped to wait until they were strong enough before going out, because the outside world was too complicated and far from suitable for these children to venture out now.

"The small village is actually quite nice. No one looks miserable about their poverty. They are filled with contentment."

Waving her hand and glancing off into the distance, Chen Yun smiled faintly at Wen Maidong. She figured what she saw couldn't be false. These villagers loved this kind of life. To them, having food and drink, and a decent life, was good enough. People can never satisfy their desires, so contentment is the true meaning of life.

"They are satisfied now, but what about later?"

"Then you can't be so pessimistic about the situation. I think as long as we're satisfied now, who can predict what will happen in the future? We're not involved, so our current statements are just for show."

The question ended there and both of them fell silent.

"Village chief, what about those two nobles?"

The villagers gathered around the village chief, trying to understand the two men's backgrounds. It was obvious to anyone that they were not ordinary. Were they truly just here for tourism? Or had they come at some other time? They couldn't rest easy without a clearer understanding. The turmoil of the past few years had already left them like frightened birds, and even thinking about it now made them feel uneasy.

"Don't worry! Those two nobles are just here for fun. Since they are from the capital, they will naturally return to the capital."

He was a nobleman from the capital, not the kind of person they thought he was. His conditions were certainly good, otherwise he wouldn't have driven a car to their village.

"Capital? Oh my god! No wonder they look so special, they are from the capital..."

"When can we go to the capital and meet the great man?"

How wonderful it would be if they could also go out and witness the existence of great people! Unfortunately, they could not go to the capital, and they would never be able to set foot on the capital's ground.

"Everyone, rest assured. Our country is developing better and better. Things like those of the past will never happen again. The clarion call for reform and opening up has been sounded. If you are not satisfied with your current life, then we will see if we can strive to find another way."

The village chief was incredibly wise. He knew clearly that if he didn't change, society would abandon him. The appearance of Chen Yun and Wen Maidong gave him hope. If these two could help their village, perhaps their situation would be different. The village chief was ambitious. He had returned from technical secondary school with the goal of changing the village.

"What else do we need to do?"

"Let's not act rashly and wait and see!"

Everyone was afraid of being the first to stand out. Even if the situation changed now, who could predict what would happen in the future? The higher-ups could change their minds from day to day, and changing their orders from one day to the next was common.

"That's right! Village chief, I think we should just continue with our old life! Anyway, I don't want to change."

"Yeah, yeah, I don't want to change either. It's fine now."

They are no different at all, they are fine and don't need to change. Besides, what can these two people do for them? The villagers don't quite believe what the village chief said.

Despite the differences of opinion, the village chief didn't give up on his own ideas. These two were just a breakthrough; more stimulation was needed to truly impress these villagers. Each one was more stubborn than the other. He could start with the children, and he also hoped that Chen Yun and Wen Maidong would stimulate these villagers and make them want to work hard.

Unfortunately, whether he could do what he wanted or what he wanted, Shen Yun and Wen Maidong were not the type of people who could be easily manipulated. If they were willing to cooperate, that would be one thing, but if they were unwilling to cooperate and were being used, then they would have to be prepared to bear the consequences of their anger.

"Village Chief, I think it would be better for them to leave earlier."

The more radical people naturally don't want to see changes. They would rather keep things as they are and don't need to change.

"Well, it would be better if they left earlier."

"Yes, yes, I thought so too."

It would be better to leave as soon as possible. They didn't want the village chief to insist on his own way. Everyone was afraid of the unknown.
