March 12, 2021, marked another Arbor Day.
Initially, Arbor Day was a day to promote tree protection and mobilize the public to actively participate in tree planting and afforestation activities.
On this day, everyone joyfully plants a sapling in the wild with their friends and family.
They poured their sweat into their saplings, hoping they would grow strong and healthy.
In the future, when I'm old, I can look at this big tree that has grown up and smile with satisfaction.
Reflecting on life's experiences, recalling the sweat shed back then.
However, at some point, this custom was gradually forgotten by everyone.
There is no holiday for Arbor Day. Even if there were a holiday, in this fast-paced society, people wouldn't have time to plant a tree that is almost useless to them.
With that time, we could choose to get a good night's sleep, catch up on our unfinished homework, have a big meal, or even go find a girlfriend/boyfriend.
The city is developing rapidly, and people are constantly climbing upwards.
Rural life no longer seems to exist.
It's just entertainment for the wealthy; many people have gradually become accustomed to living in that concrete jungle.
Many people consider their childhood memories of rural life to be shameful.
Selectively forget it...
Rencao Getu Island is a small island popular for tourism.
Yes, Rencao Getu Island is almost indistinguishable from any other small island.
The island's economic lifeline was created by a fabricated legend.
Subsequently, they profited by selling some expensive local specialties.
It is not large in size, but the population density of its inhabitants is unexpectedly high.
The reason is simple: these unfounded legends evolve with the times.
Since modern society has no need for gods or ghosts, then we can just make a slight change.
Coming to this place guarantees the eternity of love.
Of course, not everyone in the world can believe it, but it's enough if a few idiotic couples are willing to believe it.
On Arbor Day, vendors on Rencaogetu Island opened their shops.
Then we wait for those idiotic couples to arrive.
This period of time is his free time, and he can have a good chat with his neighbors.
The foot traffic here is always the same; there's no need to compete with the neighbors for business.
"Hey! Yuying, has your son sent any messages?"
One middle-aged woman chewed gum while speaking to another middle-aged woman.
Another middle-aged woman spat out the sunflower seeds in her mouth and said with a displeased look, "That brat hasn't come back since he went to the mainland. Isn't Old Wang's daughter pretty? Big breasts and a curvy bottom, you can tell at a glance she's the type to easily have sons. He insists on marrying a girl from the mainland. Tsk tsk, I've seen that girl, she looks like she hasn't fully grown up! Sigh! I said a few words to him, and he got upset and even dared to hang up on me! Oh dear! Sister! My life is so hard! My life is so hard!"
After being asked this question, the woman called Yu Ying instantly became excited, talking non-stop to the other woman.
"Sigh! My daughter is the same way. Not long ago, I told her I was seriously ill and wanted her to come back to see me. But! I never expected that girl to say she was too busy with work to come back and see me! Unfilial! Unfilial! My daughter is truly useless!"
Another middle-aged woman shouted in dissatisfaction, chewing her gum even more vigorously.
"Haha, maybe she's scared of you. Why is it that every time your daughter comes home, the first thing you ask her is if she's found a rich boss? You've been around in mainland China, haven't you? You've seen a lot!"
After saying that, Yu Ying spat out the melon seeds in her mouth again.
"What's the use of having more experience! Her tuition and everything else were all earned by my mother bit by bit. She's a girl, she should hurry up and find a rich boss to marry. Let my mother enjoy a good life instead of doing small business here."
Clearly, Yu Ying had a thousand complaints about her daughter.
If Yu Ying were to confess that her daughter had wronged her, she could talk for three days and three nights without repeating herself.
"Haha! Your daughter has really struck it rich! Hasn't she been transferring more and more money into your bank account lately?"
Seeing Yu Ying's anger, the auntie quickly laughed.
"That's true."
Yu Ying raised an eyebrow, then chuckled.
"Hehe, it's only natural that she'd be filial to her mother. If it weren't for her being a burden, my mother would definitely be doing much better than she is now!"
"Alright, alright, I'm already sick of hearing about your glorious achievements."
The aunt rolled her eyes and looked at Yu Ying with a helpless expression.
"Alright, alright!"
Yu Ying rolled her eyes and said helplessly.
Amid the complaints of the two middle-aged women, tourists gradually arrived from afar.
Strangely, the sky was no longer azure today; instead, it looked as if it had been stained with dirt.
"Thump!"
A muffled groan was heard.
Yu Ying frowned, looking at the sky above that was gradually darkening, and said in a low voice, "That's strange, the weather forecast didn't say it would rain today!"
Another woman rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "With so many tourists, why aren't you busy doing business? What are you lamenting about life for?"
Yu Ying was startled by the aunt's words.
