Chapter 176 The Village Is No Worse Than the City



"No wonder the road is so clean, it turns out there are trash cans!"

Sun Sanmei looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

Jinlan also looked around quickly.

Sure enough, there was no garbage and everything was clean.

This is in stark contrast to the Dawa Village where they live.

Dawa Village is considered the best village in Hongqi Town. It produces a lot of grain every year and its dividends are higher than those of other villages.

But the village chief Sun Dapao has no idea about hygiene and environmental protection.

The villagers were not there at all.

Garbage and other things are thrown around randomly.

There is no special person to clean up.

It's easy to get tangled up in the mess when you're on the road.

When it rains, the stinking water flows everywhere.

But look at their environment.

There was not even a branch to be seen on the smooth gravel road!

This is obviously cleaned by a special person.

As soon as they entered the village, a road and a trash can gave the two people a deep shock.

Jinlan stopped mumbling, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

Sun Sanmei was even more looking forward to it.

It would be nice if I could live in such an environment in the future.

The two continued to walk towards the village, and they were quite shy at first.

It was inconvenient for people to travel in those days, and strangers rarely came to the village.

If two young strange girls were found entering the village, it would probably cause discussion.

But after a while, the two were surprised to find that the road was empty.

"Third sister, what's going on? Why is there no one in the village?"

Jinlan felt a little strange.

"I don't know. Are they all working in the fields?"

Sun Sanmei was also confused.

"Even if the strong laborers go to work in the fields, there must be old people and children hanging around..."

Jinlan felt something was very wrong.

"This... I don't know either."

"Let's continue and look towards the village."

"Hey, look, there's smoke!"

Sun Sanmei pointed.

"That's fine, let's go over there and ask for directions."

Jinlan nodded.

Neither of them knew where Carpenter Liu's house was, so they needed to find someone to ask.

The two men headed towards where the smoke was coming from.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a very large courtyard.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

Jinlan twitched her nose and suddenly screamed.

"It smells like stew."

Sun Sanmei also smelled it.

“Gurgle…”

Jinlan's stomach rumbled.

She was already hungry.

Without dry food, we can only endure it.

But at this time, the tempting aroma even tempted me.

The two of them walked in and saw a sign on the gate.

It turned out to be the Xiaoheyan Village Canteen.

The yard was very lively and many people were eating.

"No wonder there are no people on the road, everyone comes here to eat!"

Jinlan understood what was going on.

Their village has also held big pot meals.

But then it fell through.

Because people eat so much, the village can't afford to provide them with enough food.

Later, the food became worse and worse and could not even be accommodated.

"I didn't expect that Xiaoheyan Village still has a canteen, and it's so prosperous."

Jinlan thought that this was the village's big pot meal.

She stepped forward curiously.

Several large black iron pots immediately attracted attention.

There was steam bubbling inside.

The aroma comes from the pot.

At this time, someone lifted the lid of the pot.

Revealing the red soup inside.

A more intense aroma emanates.

Jinlan took a closer look and almost screamed out loud.

It turned out to be chicken stewed with mushrooms.

She turned around and found that Sun Sanmei was also shocked.

This is a dish that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year!

Before they could react.

Someone opened another big pot.

There is pork stewed with vermicelli in the pot!

“Gurgle…”

Neither of them could bear it anymore.

My stomach started to growl.

My face turned red with embarrassment.

"Hey, you two girls, who are you looking for?"

At this time, Sister Wang from the cafeteria discovered two strangers.

"Hello, sister. We are from Dawa Village."

"My name is Sun Sanmei, and her name is Jinlan."

Sun Sanmei took the initiative to step forward and introduce herself.

After all, she is also half the daughter-in-law of Xiaoheyan Village...

"Oh, you're from Dawa Village... What are you two doing here?"

Sister Wang was a little confused.

"We are looking for someone. We are looking for Carpenter Liu's house."

Sun Sanmei said.

"Carpenter Liu? He's working in the county now."

"What are you looking for his house for?"

Sister Wang was puzzled.

"I……"

Sun Sanmei was shy and speechless.

Jin Lan took over the conversation: "She is the blind date of Carpenter Liu's son."

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

Sister Wang finally understood.

Then the look changed.

He looked Sun Sanmei up and down.

Sun Sanmei felt uncomfortable when she was looked at.

"Haha, sister, although Carpenter Liu is out working, his son is in the village."

"It's just not here. It's in the cannery."

"Originally, Carpenter Liu wanted his son to learn carpentry."

"But the cannery offered better pay, so his son went to work there."

Sister Wang explained enthusiastically.

"A cannery?"

Jinlan and Sun Sanmei were surprised when they heard this.

"Sister, is there any factory in your village?"

“Aren’t factories only found in cities?”

Jinlan was the most surprised.

In her impression, there are only workers in the city, and rural people can only farm.

"Of course there are factories, and there are several factories."

"Look at the people eating here. There are people from the garment factory, the winery, and even the engineering team..."

Sister Wang gestured with her hands.

Jinlan and Sun Sanmei looked carefully and found something wrong.

The clothes of those who were eating were all clean, mostly blue-gray work clothes.

Unlike the farmers in other villages, who were dressed in rags and covered in mud.

"Sister, there are so many people working in the factory in your village?"

Jinlan was shocked. There were probably about a hundred people in the cafeteria.

"This is just the beginning."

"If you go to the deserted grassland, you'll see there are more people there!"

"The canteen at the cannery can hold more than 300 people!"

Sister Wang's face was full of pride.

In the past, workers in the village all ate in the village canteen.

But as farms and canning factories were built in the wasteland, there were too many workers.

Can only be separated.

There were more people in the cannery cafeteria.

"Oh my god, a cafeteria for more than 300 people, how big would it be?"

Jinlan and Sun Sanmei both widened their eyes in surprise.

"Third sister, doesn't that mean that Carpenter Liu's son will also eat in the canteen of the cannery?"

Jinlan suddenly remembered.

"Yes, they should be eating at this time."

"If you want to find someone, go to the cannery now."

Sister Wang nodded.

"Sister, where is the cannery?"

"Go west all the way to the end. The cannery sign is huge and you can see it from far away."

Sister Wang pointed the way enthusiastically.

"Thank you, big sister."

'Hey, you're welcome.'

"If you marry me, we'll be members of the same village from now on."

Sister Wang said with a smile.

Sun Sanmei's cheeks blushed.

"Jinlan, let's go."

She pulled Jinlan, who was in a daze.

Can't wait.

Jinlan looked at the workers who were eating with their mouths full of oil, and her eyes became complicated.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the living standards of the villagers were so high!

Only when Sun Sanmei pulled her back did she come to her senses.

"Okay, let's take a look!"

Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly had an idea.

It seems like living here is pretty good?
