Chapter 146 Reminiscing about the Past
"I'm recalling the days when we played together." Chen Fang's eyes gradually blurred, as if she had traveled through time. "Remember those autumn evenings? We ran in the fields, and the sunset dyed the whole village golden."
Li Wanyue smiled slightly, walked to her side and sat down, "Of course I remember! At that time, you always liked to chase butterflies, and I was watching you quietly from the side, thinking that you were like a flying flower fairy."
"And that time when we went fishing together at the river," Chen Fang said softly, with a smile on her face, "You always imagined that you could catch a big carp, but in the end you only caught a few small shrimps."
"Haha, that's right. Those shrimps are still being stewed in soup at my house. Grandma Li said that was the freshest taste." Li Wanyue laughed out loud, her eyes flashing with nostalgia for the past. "Those carefree times we spent together, they are sweet when I think of them now."
"Now, I am about to leave here." Chen Fang's voice was slightly low, as if the memories were filled with a faint sadness. "I don't know if there will be such an opportunity again in the future."
"No matter when or where you are, as long as you have our memories in your heart, those little bits and pieces will always be with you." Li Wanyue nodded solemnly, her eyes gentle, as if conveying a firm belief.
At this time, Chen Fang's mother came in, holding a plate of freshly baked cakes, with a smile on her face, "Are you talking about the past? Come and try this freshly made osmanthus cake, the taste of the countryside is still fragrant."
"Thank you, mother!" Chen Fang immediately took a piece of cake and took a bite. The sweet taste instantly blossomed on the tip of her tongue. "It's really delicious. It's like returning to every harvest season."
"I always want to use these snacks to fill the emptiness in your hearts." Chen sat down, her eyes showing motherly concern, "Fang'er, no matter where you go, the taste of your hometown will always be in your heart."
Chen Fang nodded with difficulty, her eyes gentle and firm, "Mother, although I am going to the city, I will never forget everything here. The fragrance of grass in the fields, the smell of cooking smoke, and every dish you cook."
"Yes, Fang'er, remember your roots in your heart, no matter where you are." Li Wanyue echoed softly, her eyes full of encouragement, "No matter how busy you are in the future, you must take time to come back to visit your mother and me."
"I will!" Immersed in the warm atmosphere, Chen Fang felt strongly that no matter how far she went, this concern and friendship would accompany her every step.
"How are your preparations going? Is there anything else I can help you with?" Chen was just like usual, surrounding the room with the tenderness of motherly love.
"Well, I want to pack some clothes and books and pack them all tomorrow." Chen Fang's face showed nervousness and uneasiness, "But every time I think about leaving, I feel a little worried."
"This is the price of growing up, Fang'er," the mother said softly, "bravely pursuing your dreams is also a responsibility. As long as you have love in your heart, you will have a sense of belonging no matter where you go."
Li Wanyue's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "Then let's go to the fields together! Anyway, since we are leaving, we must cherish the last time with this land."
"Good idea!" Chen Fang stood up immediately, feeling excited. "I want to go see the golden rice fields and feel the familiar smell again."
"I want to go too!" Li Wanyue said excitedly, as if the ripples in her memory were stirred again. "That creek and the wild flowers all over the ground are worth reminiscing about again and again."
Almost instantly, the three of them packed their clothes and headed towards the field. The breeze blew gently, the weeds swayed, and everything seemed like a dream. The breath of the countryside gradually condensed in their hearts, deepening this deep memory.
"Fang'er, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, please set off with our blessings." Li Wanyue stopped in the field, turned around, and said to her firmly.
"Fang'er, you're finally back!" Her good friend Li Wanyue rushed over, her face full of excitement, her eyes sparkling, "We've all been waiting for you. We heard that you have many new stories to tell."
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I came back." Chen Fang said as she held Li Wanyue's hand, her eyes revealing her deep attachment to this land. "It's really hard to describe in words what I saw outside."
Not far away, the villagers were busy in the fields. When they heard the sound, they stopped their work and turned around.
"Ah, it's Fang'er back!" Old Li at the village head put down his hoe and walked towards her with a kind look on his face. "Come on, share your experience with us."
"Yes, Fang'er, we heard that you saw a lot of different things in the city." The elderly Grandma Wang said with a smile, "It's exciting to hear about it!"
"Okay, I'll tell you right now!" Chen Fang's mood suddenly became lively. Imagining the scene she was about to narrate, she sat down on the stone steps in front of the pavilion. The villagers gathered around one after another, all of them staring at her.
"The streets in that city were really lively! People were coming and going, and there were many shops." Chen Fang said, with the light of memories flashing in her eyes. "I saw many new and interesting things, including brightly colored cloth, exquisite handicrafts, and all kinds of delicious food."
"That sounds really exciting!" Li Wanyue smiled softly and interrupted, "You must miss the scallion pancakes at home, right?"
"Indeed, every time I taste the food in the city, I always miss the taste of our village in my heart." Chen Fang said with emotion, "What's more, in the city, the pace of life is fast, people are always busy, and there is no tranquility like us chatting in the fields."
The villagers nodded in agreement, their eyes full of yearning and sympathy. A young farmer couldn't help but ask, "Fang'er, have you encountered any difficulties outside?"
"Of course." Chen Fang sighed and paused. "When you first arrive in a foreign country, you naturally have to face many unfamiliar things. Sometimes I can't speak the language, and sometimes I feel at a loss, but every time I try my best to overcome it and adapt at my own pace."
After hearing this, Old Li nodded solemnly, "There are always difficulties in doing things. Only those who can overcome difficulties are truly strong."
"Well said, Old Li!" Grandma Wang sighed, "There are not many young people like you who work hard outside. You still have a long way to go in the future, so you must be brave."
Chen Fang felt warm in her heart and responded with a smile: "Thank you for your encouragement. I will try my best to live up to my efforts and hope to bring some new atmosphere to our small village."
"So what are you going to do?" Li Wanyue asked, "Our village also needs new vitality."
"I want to use my experience to encourage everyone to try new planting techniques and business ideas." Chen Fang is full of enthusiasm. "If everyone is willing, I can open some small classes here to share what I have seen and learned in the city."
"This is a great idea!" Li Wanyue clapped her hands excitedly. "We villagers can learn together and maybe we can improve our production methods!"
"Yes, this will be of great benefit to each of us!" The villagers nodded in praise, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
"So, where do you want me to start?" Chen Fang looked around, her eyes shining. "Is it about new agricultural technology or urban lifestyle?"
"I want to hear how the market in the city works." The young farmer spoke again, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.
"Me too!" Granny Wang chimed in, "After this conversation, I need to think about how to improve my planting methods."
"Okay! Then let me start with the market." Chen Fang said seriously, "In the city, the market has a lot of choices. In addition to technology, there are also tips on how to attract customers..."
As Chen Fang narrated, the villagers sat together and listened to her stories about the city. As the sun gradually set, the golden fields became more charming, and the familiar local accent gently rippled in their ears, conveying a strong sense of belonging.
