Liu Aiguo really liked his donkey meat pancakes. In addition to the large plate of chicken, he also ate five or six donkey meat pancakes.

After a group of people had eaten and drank enough, they were about to drive back, but they bumped into Song Weiguo just after they came out of the Da Pan Chicken restaurant.

"Chief Song."

"Section Chief Song." Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun greeted Song Weiguo.

Both of them had met Song Weiguo, but at that time Song Weiguo was still the sales section chief of the glass factory.

After the two left, Song Weiguo officially joined the Educated Youth Cannery, and now he is going out to start his own business.

"Who are you?" Song Weiguo looked at the two of them with some confusion.

After Jiang Xiaobai introduced him, Song Weiguo suddenly understood.

"Oh, it turns out it's Aiguo and Xiaojun. I remember you. When Xiaobai came to the glass factory to buy cans and bottles, you two were there, but after so many years, you have changed so much that I don't dare to recognize you anymore.

"Song Weiguo smiled and shook hands with the two of them.

"Xiaobai, why are you back?"

"We will have a gathering of educated youth tomorrow," Jiang Xiaobai said.

"It's time for a gathering of educated youth. You haven't had one since you left, right?"

Song Weiguo said that he insisted on inviting everyone to dinner. Jiang Xiaobai and others said that they had already eaten, and finally took Jiang Xiaobai and others to drink tea and chat.

Anyway, there was still time, and Jiang Xiaobai did not refuse.

"Did I just tell you that there are many coal mines opened in the county? Look, this is a coal boss, very rich." Wang Meng said jokingly.

"Really, Brother Song opened a coal mine?"

"A small coal mine was opened, thanks to Xiaobai's help, otherwise..."

Before Song Weiguo finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai interrupted: "Old Song, let's not talk about the past. Besides, I didn't help much."

"Oh, okay, let's not mention it." Song Weiguo has also gained weight in the past two years, and the wicker chair creaks when he sits down.

Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Meng both laughed at Song Weiguo, but Song Weiguo didn't care.

Several people chatted for a while, and the children seemed very sleepy. Jiang Xiaobai and others then got up and left.

We set off towards Jianhua Village. As soon as we got on the road, several children fell asleep in the car. Driving on this road was very smooth.

Compared to Zhangxuan County, which remains unchanged, Shangma Township has undergone many changes.

The entire Shangma Township has doubled in size, and the houses near the roadside have been renovated into small second floors.

There are business shops one after another, and you can tell that business is good without asking.

There were a lot more people in the village than before. Jiang Xiaobai also heard people speaking with foreign accents, of course not many, just one.

The car did not stop, but only slowed down. After leaving the countryside, it accelerated towards Jianhua Village.

The entire village in Shangma Township is located around a large reservoir. At this time of winter, the reservoir has all frozen.

You can also see many people walking on the ice. Instead of going around the mountain road, they walk from the ice to the countryside.

Jiang Xiaobai has long been accustomed to this kind of situation, and he can often see it. Of course, it doesn't mean that it's okay to walk on the ice.

Every two or three years, an unlucky guy falls into the ice cave and never comes back out.

This kind of thing is also very evil. It's okay to have oxen and horses pull a cart loaded with grain across the ice. In winter, the thick ice freezes very solidly.

But there are a few unlucky ones who can fall inside even if they walk alone.

Local people think that this is fate, and say that water ghosts are dragging people down below, but in fact, if you take a closer look, you will find that those who fell in basically walked onto the ice and fell.

Why is there an ice hole? Jiang Xiaobai also checked the information specifically. After water freezes, its volume expands, and it will not be affected when it expands up and down.

When it expands to the surroundings, it will encounter great resistance due to the control of the shore. It can only expand slightly toward the shore, but the expansion force is not reduced, and the entire ice surface can only arch upward.

During this process, parts of the ice surface will crack because they cannot withstand the bending. Along with the big cracks, there will be a huge sound...

When the car arrived at the entrance of Jianhua Village, we saw a huge stone archway.

There are three big characters written on it: "Jianhua Village."

"When was this done?" Jiang Xiaobai stopped the car, got out of the car and looked at the huge stone archway in front of him and asked curiously. He didn't even know such a thing existed.

This stone archway is much larger than the normal one. It is decorated with carvings and decorations. Dragons, phoenixes, flowers, birds, auspicious animals, figures, etc. are engraved using different techniques such as intaglio, line engraving, relief, openwork, and double-sided engraving.

Vivid image...

"When I came back last time, I saw one. I heard that the village funded the construction of one at the end of last year..." Wang Meng also got out of the car.

"It's so impressive. I can't even imagine that once upon a time, this place was a famous begging village..."

Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun also looked at the majestic stone archway in front of them and the wide and flat cement road in front of them, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Not far from the road, you can still see the new houses. The glazed bricks on the roofs reflect colorful light in the sun.

"Isn't it a big change?" Both Wang Meng and Jiang Xiaobai had satisfied smiles on their faces, because all the changes here are closely related to them.

All the changes here are partly due to them.

"In this way, the car will be parked at the entrance of the village. I will ask them to drive the car in later, and we can just walk in."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Just in time, let's take a look at the scenery along the way and let you see the changes in our Jianhua Village."

Jiang Xiaobai led his son and walked at the front, chatting casually with a few people as he walked.

"Buzz buzz." A Jiefang truck carrying goods came out of the village and drove out.

In such a short stretch of road, Jiang Xiaobai and others encountered several trucks and two vans.

When we arrived at the village head, there was a store right at the village head, with a big plaque saying "Jianhua Store."

There were small colored lights flashing on the plaque, and Jiang Xiaobai also saw an LED screen next to it, because it was not turned on during the day.

It is estimated that it will be lit up at night so that people can see it at a glance.

Through the glass display window, you can see the dazzling array of goods inside and the customers selecting the goods.

"Go in and take a look?" Liu Aiguo was very curious. In fact, it was not like he had never seen such a big store before, nor had he never seen LED screens before.

It was this kind of thing that appeared in my familiar memory. The shabby village in my memory looked completely different.

It's shocking, and at the same time, I can't believe it. This is the place I remember.
