After years of large-scale immigration in Henan, a large number of people have moved out. The remaining population in Henan is less than three-tenths of the original number, and they are all old people. As the old people get older, it is difficult to move to their homeland, and they will die even if they die. In his hometown.
A large number of young and middle-aged people migrated to Liaodong, the Western Regions, Hezhong, Central Asia, Nanyang and overseas. The massive loss of population also caused many places in Henan to become desolate places.
Along the way, countless villages were deserted and houses collapsed, just like the era of war and chaos. This Wangjiacun is a big village, but its current population is less than one-tenth of its original size.
Most of the young people who stayed behind have gone to work in the city, and these old people are the only ones farming at home.
Times are changing so fast!
In Wangjia Village, Uncle Wang, Uncle Li and other villagers looked at the bags of flour in front of them, with smiles on their faces. Even though they got this for free, they made people happy.
"It's better to be the emperor now~"
"When there was a famine, if there was a bag of flour like this, the whole family could survive. But at that time, although I heard that the court was providing disaster relief, the money and food provided by the disaster relief were all eaten by corrupt officials. Once inside, we ordinary people can only wait to die."
Uncle Wang said with some sigh.
"That's right, that's right. Of my eight brothers, only two survived. The only one, a little girl, had three steamed buns bought away." At this time xi*ndi*ngdi*anxsw.com * Zhang Si
¡°It¡¯s pitiful to think about it!¡±
Uncle Li also sighed and shook his head. Then he looked at his little great-grandson who was feeding the chickens with corn kernels. He couldn't help but cursed: "You bastard, if you don't cherish the food, I won't slap you until I see."

When Uncle Li saw it, he immediately became even more angry, so he just pretended to be pretentious.
¡°Dingling bell~Dingling bell~¡±
At this moment, a bicycle bell rang, and the people hurriedly looked over. It was Uncle Li's grandson Li Ye and Uncle Wang's grandson Wang Yizheng who were riding bicycles back.
Both of them are in their early twenties and are currently working part-time in Kaifeng. Because they are close to each other, they will ride their bicycles back to see their children every weekend.
"Dad~"
Seeing Li Ye and Wang Yi, their children immediately ran over excitedly.
"Haha, my good son~"
Li Ye picked up his son and lifted him high.
However, he respectfully came to Uncle Li and shouted: "Grandpa~"
"Hmm~"
Uncle Li nodded slightly, then looked at him and said, "Why didn't your wife come back with you?"
"She had to work overtime this week, and I brought some things back this time, so she didn't come back at all."
Li Ye unpacked several large and small packages from the back of the bicycle. While unpacking them, he said: "Grandpa, this is the rice and bacon sent by the third uncle who went to Hezhong, and this is the flour sent by the fourth uncle from Liaodong. and dry goods, as well as the candies sent by Uncle Wu from Nanyang, and they also sent some money and letters."
Li Ye sorted the large and small bags and said while opening them.

"The third child, the fourth child, the fifth child?"
When Uncle Li heard this, he immediately became excited. He looked at the things sent by his son, and then looked at the silver coins and letters handed over by Li Ye. He was so excited in his heart.
Three of the four sons have immigrated outside the customs and overseas. They have not seen each other for many years. Although they usually exchange letters, there are only one or two letters a year.
Uncle Li is very happy every time he receives a letter from them.

"The fifth uncle is the same as the third uncle and the fourth uncle. I read in the newspaper that there was a severe drought in Henan. I was afraid that you would have nothing to eat, so I also sent you food and money."
"The letter also said that it is very warm here in Nanyang even in winter, and I want you to come over to spend the winter."
"I'm not going to Nanyang. I have to take a boat. I will definitely get seasick."
Uncle Li couldn¡¯t say it, but he was very happy in his heart.
"The letter also said that Uncle Wu's family recently built a plantation and planted rubber. In addition, the three brothers Li Qing, Li Qian, and Li Xu bought a big boat together and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver. , starting to do business on the sea."
"Okay, okay~"

When Uncle Li heard this, he was even more pleased. When the fifth family moved to Nanyang, the three grandchildren were still little kids. Now they have grown up and can afford to buy a big ship and go to sea.
"Tsk, tsk, Uncle Li, your family is amazing."
"The children of the third family were admitted to Imperial College. The children of the fourth family are all wealthy landlords and have concubines. The fifth family even bought a big boat. Li Ye is also great. Now they are all You are the manager in the factory, your Li family is amazing."

"It is better to have more sons. If you have more sons, you will have more grandchildren, and even more great-grandchildren. All of them will be promising. Unlike me, I have given birth to a lot of daughters, and they are all losers."
"You can't say anything. Your daughter is also very filial. Didn't she send you things and money last time?"
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, your uncle also invited you to live with him, you just don¡¯t want to go.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not the same surname after all, is it?¡±
