Ahhh, Wang Juan never thought that Zhang Cuiying’s family, whom she had never met, were gambling and owing money in this era.
“Wait, we can still gamble now?” Wang Juan was very confused. Not only was the control very strict, but more importantly, did they have the family funds to gamble?
Whenever the Zhang family lived their lives, Zhang Cuizhen would never mention the Zhang family. A poor peasant family actually gambled. Was it courting death, or were their ancestors wealthy?
If this is true, Wang Juan really feels that this problem is quite serious. No, it is very serious.
"I'm from the mountains. I say I'm from Beijing, but I'm actually almost out of Beijing. It's more than ten kilometers away from my grandma's house, and that's the straight-line distance. I have to climb over two or three mountains."
Wang Juan originally thought that the distance was not far, and it would only take a step on the accelerator, but she didn't expect that there was a mountain in between. "It's quite remote."
"Then I guess even if there is development in the future, it won't be that area's turn." Wang Juan only remembered the development of some prosperous areas in Beijing, but as for the far suburbs, she really didn't know.
“Maybe there will be some kind of farm stay there in the future?” Wang Juan thought this was quite interesting, as it would benefit many rural areas and increase villagers’ income.
Building a farmhouse? Zhao Lei really didn't think much of it. "I've been there once," because he heard about it a long time ago, even though he was a kid, he still remembered it. "There was only a small stream over there, and the surrounding mountains were bare, there was nothing there."
"Also, how should I put it, the atmosphere in the village is not very good." Maybe many people don't think there is a problem now, but Zhao Lei knows there is a problem.
The atmosphere is not good? "Yes, because there are mountains around and there is not much flat land, so not much labor is needed, and some men don't want to go out."
There is not much land in the countryside? Even Wang Juan, who has never been to the countryside, knows that there is a big problem here. "Then how do they make a living?"
"A mountain for support?" Wang Juan felt that this possibility was not great. Zhao Lei had already said that the mountain was bare and there was nothing there.
"Yes." Zhao Lei nodded, "In the past they would cut down the thick wood and sell it."
"It's not that they can't sell the wood, but they just need to remember to replant. But now they only care about cutting down trees and never think about replanting. As a result, there are fewer and fewer trees on the mountain."
Zhao Qiang and Zhao Liang have no interest in where the Zhang family lives and just want to leave. Zhao Lei will ask the old people in the village why the mountain is bare.
Just cut down the trees without replanting them? Wang Juan immediately knew that this was not a small problem. "Although it doesn't rain heavily in Beijing very often, it does happen."
“Yes, every time it rains heavily, there are flash floods.”
"And it broke out in the summer." Zhao Lei looked at Wang Juan.
Wang Juan gasped, "That would destroy all the crops."
"So every time there is a heavy rain, they ask the government for subsidies." Zhao Lei was also speechless. "I guess they are probably looking forward to heavy rain so that they don't have to work and have food."
Zhao Lei knew too well what these lazy people were thinking. The best thing for them to do was to lie down and not work, and then food would fall on their heads.
"That's a nice thought, but they are so lazy, who would marry their daughter to a foreigner?" This would definitely ruin their daughter's life.
"Go to a more remote place, or just exchange the bride." Even after liberation, this kind of thing continued for a long time.
