When Feng Yixiang was released from prison, he almost couldn't find his home.
Mengjia Village has completely changed.
The plum blossoms on the mountain are like clouds, attracting endless tourists.
Various vehicles whizzed past on the wide road.
In front of the rows of two-story buildings, signs of restaurants, hotels, wineries and meat processing plants are lined up one after another.
It is completely different from the gloomy, dilapidated and poor mountain village in my memory.
He stood in the crowd for a long time before he estimated the approximate direction and walked towards his home.
After comparing the mountains and trees, I searched for a long time and finally determined the location of my home.
But the two-story building in front of him was not at all like his previous home, and he didn't recognize any of the people coming in and out of the building.
He stared blankly for a long time until he heard a hesitant question: "Are you Feng Yixiang?"
Feng Yixiang turned around and saw a strange yet familiar face. He searched through his memory and nodded, "I'm Uncle Chen Hai!"
A few years passed, and Chen Hai didn't age much, but he got a lot fatter. His favorite thing to do every day was to walk around the village with his pot belly, looking very proud.
It is called inspection.
He is still the village chief of Mengjia Village, but now the village's annual revenue is not worse than that of some county towns.
As a village chief, his treatment is naturally different from that of other ordinary village chiefs.
In the past, he had dreamed of achieving good results and being promoted to the town or even the county. Now, he has completely given up on this idea and wishes only to be the village chief of Mengjia Village for the rest of his life.
Of course, after enjoying the benefits and honors, some bad things also need to be dealt with properly.
No more trouble can happen.
Chen Hai was thinking in his mind, and his men pulled people towards the village committee without hesitation.
As they walked, they said affectionately, “It’s good that you’re out.
A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. Come on, let’s find a place to rest with your uncle.
Listen to your uncle and the village's arrangements from now on, good days are waiting for you."
Feng Yixiang ignored it and asked Chen Hai, "Where are my father and mother?"
After so many years in prison, none of his family members have visited him, nor have they sent him any packages. He has felt resentful and resentful towards them, and now he just wants to ask them in person if they still remember that they have a son like him.
Chen Hai glanced at him with pity and replied, “Your father doesn’t know.
The year after you went in, he left the village alone.
I haven't seen you come back for so many years.
Your mother and two brothers also left the village in the same year. They are doing well outside and have all married and lived stable lives.
Feng Yixiang was a little confused and asked, "What does it mean to get married?"
Chen Hai cleared his throat and replied: "Your brother married into someone else's family and became a son-in-law, your brother married a widow with some money, and became someone else's stepfather, and your mother also found someone else to marry!
Their household registrations have all been moved out one after another.”
What it means is that his father is missing, his mother has remarried, his brothers all have their own families, and he has no home.
Feng Yixiang's mind was a little dull, and it took him a long time to accept this news. He asked again: "Where are Chen Jiao and the child?"
In prison, besides my family, the only two things I care about are my wife and children.
Chen Hai continued to speak in a devastating manner: "Not long after you went in, Chen Jiao had a falling out with her family.
Then he left the village and never came back in all these years.
The villagers don’t know what’s happening to them now?”
When Feng Yixiang heard this, he felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds.
Things and people have changed.
However, life must go on.
Feng Yixiang quickly settled down in the village.
His family's old house was demolished by the village to build a hotel. The villagers were afraid that he and his father would have nowhere to live and cause trouble when they returned, so they specially reserved a few rooms for them in the village committee's collective house. They usually used them as warehouses and could be vacated now.
Also, his household registration has always been in the village, and the land under his name is still there. After he was away from home for a few years, the village expropriated his land and also paid him a one-time compensation.
The village is well developed and it is easy to arrange work.
As long as you have a place to live, money and a job, life won't be too bad.
Feng Yixiang lived a stable life in the village.
When I heard the villagers say that their good life today is inseparable from their once poor cousin Feng Yijia, I felt particularly complicated.
Feng Yi's ex-mother-in-law, Chen Xiu's family, also had mixed feelings.
On their wedding day, they kicked her out of the house on the grounds that she was a jinx.
As a result, she turned around and married Meng Sheng. Within two years, she became rich and well-known.
The village has also undergone earth-shaking changes, which has indirectly benefited his family.
But compared with Meng Sheng's family, it is still far behind.
Now, no one is saying anything openly, but secretly, many people are wondering if it is because "the blessed will not enter the door of the unblessed!"
Even Chen Xiu herself sometimes wondered if her family was not able to bear such a blessing, which led to her son's death on the day of his wedding.
Anyway, it definitely has nothing to do with her fake wine.
Of course, sometimes I wonder, if they hadn’t kicked them out, would this wealth have belonged to their family?
These two ideas became stronger and stronger as Meng Sheng's business grew bigger.
Unfortunately, no matter what they think in their hearts, the person they once discarded is now out of their reach.
