Rebirth: 1990’s Little Businesswoman - Chapter 1150

Xia Ruchu held the slightly worn iron chain on one side and walked two steps forward. She only heard the “squeaking” sound from the wood under her feet. With this sense of shaking, her eyebrows became more and more tight.

At this time, Gu muxun and the township head also came up together.

Even the native township head himself looked a little worried when he walked the suspension bridge.

Several people finished the long suspension bridge without words. After stepping on the land, Xia Ruchu looked back at the narrow bridge still shaking in the wind.

“Township head, has there ever been an accident on this bridge?” Xia Ruchu asked.

“This…”

The township head looked back and seemed a little embarrassed, but seeing her serious appearance, he had to honestly answer: “there were indeed several accidents here. Once several children went to school together, but they met a strong wind. The two children were blown down, and finally the body was not found.”

“I fell down several times, sir. Although we did our best to search and rescue, in the end…”

The head of the village shook his head silently, and his look was a little dim.

“There are always accidents. Don’t you think of a way? In this case, it should be possible to apply to the state for the construction of a bridge. ”

“Building a bridge is simple to say, but it’s not easy to do. We’ve also thought about this method, but building a bridge here costs at least 30 million. This is not a small amount.” The township head sighed earnestly.

Xia Ruchu twisted his eyebrows and didn’t speak.

Then the three walked inside.

The road here is even more rugged and difficult. There is no main road, but all winding paths.

After walking for more than half a day, I saw several families.

“Are these places occupied?” Xia Ruchu looked at the dilapidated Adobe houses and asked the township head.

The latter nodded and replied, “the houses here are all like this. They are made of clay. The house is not big. It looks like one or two rooms. The food and drink of the family are all in it.”

Xia Ru first saw a little boy with bare feet and dirty all over not far away putting sheep. When he saw them coming, his big dark eyes were full of doubts.

“Children, how old are you this year?” She squatted down and asked.

The little boy looked at her and answered slightly timidly, “ten years old.”

“Did you go to school?”

The boy shook his head.

Xia Ruchu took a lollipop out of his pocket and handed it to him, “Lollipop, do you eat it?”

As soon as the boy’s eyes lit up, he quickly reached out and took it, and then held it in the palm of his hand with joy.

“Can you show us to your house?” Xia Ruchu asked.

The little boy nodded, answered, and then led the sheep back. Xia Ruchu followed them.

Soon, they stopped in front of an adobe house.

The yellow mud house looks as if it has been years. Cracks can be seen on the wall. There are many hay piled on the wall, and strings of dry corn hanging on the window.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with dark skin wrapped in cloth came out of the house and was shocked when she saw them.

“Hello, we are from the imperial capital. We want to come here and have a look.” Xia Ruchu said hello in a friendly way.

The middle-aged woman stared at them with defensive eyes, then hugged the child and stepped back.

Seeing her move, the township head was a little embarrassed and explained to Xia Ruchu: “here are all ethnic minority residential areas, and few outsiders come. They are not used to it at the moment.”

“It’s all right. Let’s go.”

Then, the head of the village took them to the village and looked. It attracted the attention of many villagers along the way.

Walking, the township head took them to the village head’s house.

There are still some old earth houses, and strings of corn cobs hanging on the windows.

As for their house, except for two beds and a stove, the rest is full of sundries, which can be said to be mostly hay.

There seems to be an unspeakable smell in the house. I’m not used to it when I first arrive.

“Please sit down, please sit down. We have no place to stay here. Just sit outside. I’m really sorry.” The village head and his wife are about forty years old and very enthusiastic.

While carrying small bamboo stools, they took out peanuts and white water to entertain.

“Elder sister, do you live here alone?” Xia Ruchu asked.

The village head’s wife answered, then moved a small stool to sit next to her and said, “my son went to work in the city two years ago, and I haven’t seen him come back. My daughter married last year. Now we are the only couple in the house.”

After chatting for a while, the village head’s wife got up to cook. Xia Ruchu didn’t refuse.

They don’t seem to have any rice here, just a bowl of noodles for one person. The amount of noodles for the three of them is quite appropriate, but most of the bowls for the village head and his wife are soup, only a few noodles.

In addition, there are five boiled potatoes and a plate of small vegetables in the big bowl.

“I’m sorry. We don’t have anything to eat here. You’ll make do with it.” When the village head brought the food, there was a sense of embarrassment all over him.

“No, no, we came to bother you without greeting. We have to eat and drink here. We should be sorry.”

“Although there is no good wine or food in our village, you are welcome to come often.”

……

After a meal, before leaving, Xia Ruchu stuffed 200 yuan into the hands of the village head’s wife.

When they left, many children came to see them off, including the little boy at the beginning. He was still not willing to eat the previous lollipop.

Xia Ruchu thought of the snacks and fruits in his trunk, so he turned to Gu Mu and said, “Mu Xun, give those things in the car to these children.”

“OK.”

The latter answered, turned and crossed the suspension bridge, went to the car and took a lot of things.

There were candy, biscuits, bread, and some fruits, including some yogurt. They didn’t leave any of them, and gave them all to these children.

Speaking of it, these little guys are also very polite. After taking things, they bow and thank them one by one. It’s cute and distressing.

“The river is dangerous. Go home quickly.”

After watching them leave happily holding things, they turned and walked to the car.

“Township head, I found that most of the village are middle-aged and old people and children. Where have those young people gone?” Xia Ruchu asked.

The head of the village was stunned and opened his mouth. It seemed that it was difficult to speak.

Finally, he said, “many young people here are addicted to drugs, most of them because drugs are gone.”
