There were many villages in Lianshan where all the residents were at least 50 years old. Not many young people were willing to live in the countryside.
"To be honest, I have considered moving out myself," Wang Jianli said after keeping silent for a moment.
"What would happen to the village if you left?" Zhang Xiuying asked.
Wang Jianli had been the secretary of the village for more than 10 years. He had earned a good reputation among both his superiors and the villagers.
"I've discussed this with my wife. We've decided to stay in the village unless they arrange for every one of us to move out," Wang Jianli said. "What about you guys?"
"We'll stay here too," Wang Fenghua said.
He had discussed this with Zhang Xiuying. They wouldn't leave, even they were the only family left in the village.
"Good," Wang Jianli said with a smile.
