Chapter 341 (2/2)
”The farmland around this circle was originally reclaimed by Richard's parents. Life was just getting better. However, when the hay barn and agricultural machinery warehouse caught fire in the cold weather, his parents did not survive when they went to put out the fire.”
The village head said, and then pointed to the tombstone on the ground. ”Richard chose this place. At that time, he was only eight or nine years old. When the welfare home in the town wanted to take him away, he would stay here to watch over his parents.”
”The villagers also decided to raise him together. All the farmland was received by the villagers, and he also worked with the adults. One kind of farm machinery was planted until he was 18 years old. Don't mention that he could use and repair all the farm machinery armour in the village at that time, and then he enlisted in the army and never came back. Then you...”When the village head said this, the expression on his face changed from excitement to loss, and finally he kept silent. He just took out the cigarette in his pocket, lit a few sticks and put them on the tombstone.
Yang Mu looked around and listened to the village head's description. He also knew how much perseverance the child had spent in those years.
Yang Mu put his luggage aside and took out an engineer's shovel. Not far from the tombstone, he found a place and dug it up.
Looking at Yang Mu's movements, the village head did not understand. However, he saw that the boy holding the cat also drew out a shovel and squatted there to dig. After a while, a pit the size of a washbasin was dug.
Yang Mu stood up. In the puzzled eyes of the village head, he took out the bag of soil from the trunk, cut it with a shovel, poured it into the pit, and then covered it with the soil. Yunlong took out a small sapling and planted it beside it.
Seeing this, the village head also understood that the bag might be Richard's remains.
”Village head, does Richard have any relatives?”
”This There was an aunt here, but she died two years ago and her children are in a big city. How about I inform them to come back? ”
After hearing this, Yang Mu refused. He asked himself, just to see if there were any young descendants of Richard's family, so that he could sweep his grave and weed. Now it seems that this is not easy. It can only be asked by the villagers.
”Village head, I think the agricultural machinery and equipment in the village are aging.” Yang Mu raised his head and looked around and said something inexplicable. Although the village head was puzzled, he immediately responded.
”Yes, these things have been used for many years. It is too expensive to replace them. We can only make do with them.”
Yang Mu nodded, then said to the village head, ”village head, you are Richard's friend. I have a heartless request and hope you can help.”
”Sir, I will help you if I can.” Said the village head with a smile.
Yang Mu drew a check from his arms, which was all the pension taken out of Richard's account by Yang Mu as the chief officer. With the exchange of war merit and daily allowance, Richard had saved a total of five million in his life.
Yang Mu handed the check to the village head's hand. Seeing a string of zeros on it, the village head was stunned for a moment and then pushed it away.
”What are you doing, sir?”
”Village head, listen to me. This is Richard's pension. Since most of his relatives are gone, I will donate it to the village for him to improve everyone's life.”
Yang Mu said so, with a sincere look. The village head hesitated for a moment and took the check in his hand.
”I also ask the village head to come here often to loosen the soil, so that he can have a good look at his hometown which has been open here for many years.” Seeing that the village head took it, Yang Mu opened his mouth. The village head looked at Yang Mu, then looked at the earth bag which had been planted with small saplings, and nodded.
Seeing that the village head agreed, Yang Mu declined the village head's invitation to stay for dinner, and Yunlong walked out of the village.
Richard's affair became the topic of the villagers for a time. The village head who got the money also did a lot of things for the village at the first time. Many years later, it became a demonstration agricultural production area on yuancuixing.
The name of the demonstration area is Richard agricultural demonstration area.
As for Yang Mu, who realized this wish, he returned to his familiar place, sea blue star, after a week of yuancui star.
