?Chapter 720: 712. Bold attempt_1 Chapter 720: 712. Bold attempt_1 Because of this matter, Song Youde’s enthusiasm seemed as if it had been separated by a membrane. The leaders, finally not completely overwhelmed, had the energy to take a look at this small mountain village—
In the distance, the mountains undulated; green trees and white stones were in stark relief, indicating the barrenness of those undeveloped areas.

Nearby were fields of varying sizes, terraced terrain that had perhaps once been used for planting rice. But now, looking at them, one saw overgrown weeds and climbing vines… with only a few patches of land sparsely dug up, where some pumpkins, loofahs, and winter melons were planted.

“The land has gone fallow…”

He sighed.

“What choice do we have but to let it go fallow?”

Song Youde had already grown accustomed to it: “I’m getting on in years, and can’t work as hard as when I was young. Besides, even after slaving away for a whole year on the farm, sometimes you don’t make any money, or even have to pay out of pocket. What’s the point of farming, really? It’s better to go out and find factory work.”

He also gave an example: “Now, working in a factory, as long as they don’t check your identity card too closely, many of us can earn four or five thousand yuan a month! And if you get a bit of overtime, even six or seven thousand.”

Many people are old now, and factories don’t hire them anymore.

“As for the young people, those with some education go look for other jobs, and those without education work in factories… What else can we do but work? Everything costs money these days. We can’t even use well water anymore, we have to use the tap, and that costs money too!”

The two fell silent, no longer speaking, as they looked at everything in front of them.
