Not long after the two children left, Sicheng and Yunqi were greeted by a large group of curious people.
Yun Zhiming was also very curious about what they had seen and heard on this trip. Ignoring the fact that it was time to rest, he carried a stool and squeezed in with everyone.
Seeing everyone sitting there like they were watching a play, Si Cheng carried a stool over his shoulder and sat down behind Yun Qi, giving her the spotlight.
Yunqi knew his personality, so he simply told everyone about his experiences outside.
"Many people who originally lived in coastal areas are now gradually moving there. Some of the main roads have been tidied up, and people from various places have started to manage them. The security situation is acceptable."
"Does that mean it will recover soon?" Yun Mingwei asked excitedly.
Yunqi said, "It won't be that fast. After all, transportation is a major problem right now, and everyone is only focused on their own development. It will take some time to gradually accumulate experience."
As foodies, Yun Qiao and the others couldn't sit still any longer. "What about marine life? Can you catch any?"
"This is why the south is developing so rapidly. They are now operating in coastal areas with their own ships and are reaping good results."
As Yun Qi spoke, he looked at Yun Qiao and the others with pride, "We stayed there for a few days and ate all kinds of seafood. It tasted so good."
Next, Yunqi told the villagers about the changes outside, both good and bad, and only left reluctantly when it was late at night.
Yun Lecang quietly squeezed next to Yun Qi, "Sister, did you bring back any dried goods this time? I'd like to exchange some."
Seeing that Yun Qiao and the others were still looking back, Yun Qi knew what these kids were up to.
"Doesn't this base offer these valuable items for exchange when missions are issued? Didn't you exchange for some before?"
Yun Lecang scratched the back of his head. "It's because we've run out of our stock at home, and my Xiaoya has been craving this during her pregnancy. I've searched all over the village for it. I was thinking of going to the base to take on a mission, but you guys came back, so I wanted to exchange some with you first."
"Congratulations! I didn't expect your wife to be pregnant so soon after the wedding. But the luggage isn't packed yet. Come over tomorrow morning and let me know if you need anything." Yunqi sighed inwardly. The little boy who had been bedridden for half a year was about to become a father.
Yun Qiao and the others quickly turned back, saying, "Don't forget, we're here too."
They said that because they knew that Yunqi and his group had brought back a lot of things on this trip. They would usually keep what they needed for their own families and exchange the rest with the villagers who needed them.
Yunqi readily agreed, "Okay, come early tomorrow morning, or don't blame me if you can't find anything later."
After receiving a positive response, the group walked back arm in arm, seemingly unchanged in their previous way of getting along, despite having started their own families.
Lele and her friends were also surrounded in the square. As the spokesperson for the siblings, Lele was already there, vividly telling everyone what they had seen and heard on this trip, making all the friends who hadn't left home yet eager to come along.
They went back and started pestering their parents, wanting them to take them out for a trip, but all they got in return was a double whammy of beatings.
These rascals don't even consider the abilities of Village Chief Si and his wife. How can they compare?
Although things are not very peaceful right now, with the base's increasingly完善的制度, everyone's life, while not as convenient as before the disaster, has gradually entered a stable phase. However, there are always many unstable dangers that may arise at any time.
Apart from spending most of their time working in the village during the busy farming season, the villagers of Pinghe Village spend their other time either forming teams to go into the mountains or going to the base to take on some tasks, leading a very fulfilling life.
The base has now made contact with other places, and we've even heard that a signal tower is under construction. I believe that before long, everyone's information will no longer be so blocked, and everything is developing in a positive direction.
In recent years, the elderly people in the village have passed away one after another, while new life has begun to arrive as the air has returned to normal. The village's population has not decreased, but has actually increased significantly.
Not long after returning to the village, Chief Wu of Xinjiu Village also came with his entire clan to say goodbye. This time, when he returned to his hometown, he brought the whole village back with him.
Lian Jianpeng has remarried and they have two children. This time, he brought his whole family to say goodbye.
Because Lian Jianpeng's new wife was one of A Meng's widowed cousins, they went back to their hometown with her this time.
The other members who were not from Chief Wu's clan had developed deep friendships through marriage or other means over the years, so most of them followed them back to their hometown this time.
The remaining people also made plans and went down the mountain this time, so the Xinjiu Village on the mountain was completely disbanded.
As the large procession disappeared from sight, many people couldn't help but sigh. In recent years, many of those who had fled here and settled down had chosen to return to their hometowns, so it was no surprise that Chief Wu and his group were leaving.
For them, living deep in the mountains is still remote, but even for the sake of future generations, they must come out.
Not many people have left Xin San Village and Hu Tiao Village. Most of them have built nice houses here in recent years and started to live a proper life.
Moreover, after so many years of continuous land reclamation and expansion, it has long since formed a large village, which is much safer than many other places outside.
Another point is that, under the leadership of Pinghe Village over the years, they are now forming their own teams to go out on missions, their combat effectiveness has improved a lot, and their living standards are much better than in other places, so there is no need for them to go far away.
Today is a great day for the village because the power supply project from the base has reached here, and soon everyone will be able to see the light again and won't have to get up in the dark anymore.
As the power lines were being pulled into the village, all the villagers cheered, knowing that the dark days were finally over.
Yunqi glanced at his son beside him and asked, "Did your sister run off to your grandfather's place again?"
Si Yongjun gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, I rushed over early this morning."
Yunqi teased him, "Then your position as the older brother is in jeopardy. Look at Gangzi and Xiaoka, they dote on their sister to the extreme, they're even more responsible brothers than you are."
Looking at his mother, who was completely unaware of what was going on, Si Yongjun felt an even stronger urge to bite those two wolf cubs. Don't think I don't know what they're up to.
Only that silly Lele still considers them to be the same old friends.
In the days that followed, as a loving older brother, he began to outwit and outmaneuver those two wicked young men, entering his own era.
