Let's continue to tell you about it immediately above -

Following the direction of Chai Hua's finger, Guan Heping also discovered the place. The two of them looked closer, and there were indeed some low houses hidden under the bushes, about a dozen. According to the introduction of the mutton stall owner, this should be Xixiashu Village.

Chai Hua and Guan Heping walked along the path that should have been walked by the villagers towards the houses.

When it got closer, Chai Hua recognized that most of the trees that covered the house just now were mountain red, that is, hawthorn trees. It's just that it's not yet the time for the spring breeze to promote greening, these mountains are red, and the flowering time should be around May, and the time of fruiting is in autumn and October.

Looking at these houses, they are relatively low, and the main building material should be brick and concrete. Chai Hua was deeply moved by the villagers here, why? Moved to see how backward these building materials were? Yes, this is the life of the people in the reservoir area, and for the sake of drinking water for the people of Zhangbei City, the people in these reservoir areas have really suffered -- they can't do all kinds of industries, and they can't even raise fish, so how can they become rich? Not to mention here, aren't the people in the reservoir areas of the whole country all like this?

Two people entered this legendary Xixia Village, wandered around for a while, but did not meet a person, and saw that there was no house with soot, this is still winter, if there is someone in the family, then there should be soot from burning coal for heating, but at noon, there is noon, what is wrong?

Finally, I met a man, an old man, who seemed to be wandering aimlessly through the streets.

Chai Hua greeted him and asked politely, "Uncle, may I ask where the beekeeper in our village lives?"

The old man glanced at Chai Hua and Guan Heping, and replied slowly, "Do you want to buy honey?"

"Yes, where does Lao Zhai Tou live?" Chai Hua asked again.

"Oh, in the mountains. His house is the one at the head of the village, and the first one you came to be when you came. The old man pointed to the path where the brothers had come.

I've been wandering around for a long time, and it turned out to be the first one just now!

After thanking the old man, Chai Hua and Guan Heping went back again, and arrived at the first house in the village that the old man was referring to.

I saw a relatively new paint on the face of the door, through the low courtyard wall you can see the houses inside, well, it is still relatively new, all are brick houses, the main house facing south is a total of three rooms, the east side house is one, it seems that the economic strength of this old Zhai Tou family is still relatively good, this should be related to beekeeping.

"Brother Zhai, Brother Zhai, Brother Zhai!" Chai Hua knocked lightly on the knocker and shouted towards the inside of the door.

After a while, there was an echo in the door, asking what it was for.

Chai Hua replied that it was honey.

They opened it from the inside, and a 40-year-old elder sister came out, let Chai Hua and Guan Heping into the courtyard, and led them into the living room of the main house.

At this time, a man who looked to be in his 50s in the living room was sitting on the Taishi chair, drinking tea.

When the man saw the guest, it was estimated that he was the one who had come to buy honey, so he stood up and greeted him warmly, and gave Chai Hua and Guan Heping to the guest seat.

The man stood up and saw the difference, he estimated that it was about 150, and the altitude difference between Chai Hua and Guan Heping was about 30, and the two sides looked at each other with the feeling of looking up and looking down.

The guest and host sat down, and Chai Hua asked, "You are Brother Zhai, right?"

"I am, everyone calls me Lao Zhaitou, haha, the two of you came to buy honey, right?"

"Yes, honey, royal jelly or something, all want a little bit. I heard from the eldest brother at the mutton stall that the honey and royal jelly here are authentic and good goods, and we will also buy some for the family. Guan Heping said.

"Actually, it's just not adulterated, we have to be honest, we can't fool people. ”

Lao Zhai Tou stood up, led the two of them to the outside of the house, and walked to the side room, which should be the place where honey and royal jelly are placed.

There is an aroma, the aroma of pure natural honey, very attractive, it should be the nectar of jujube.

Lao Zhai Tou filled them according to the amount that the brothers needed, that is, in bottles like Erguotou liquor, Chai Hua asked for eight bottles, and Guan Heping asked for six bottles.

But the royal jelly is not enough, there is less than one bottle left, seeing Chai Hua and Guan Heping both want it, Lao Zhai Tou said: "Okay, don't worry, my daughter will come down later, just let her bring you some royal jelly." ”

Then be patient for a while. So Chai Hua and Guan Heping followed Lao Zhai back to the main house.

Drink tea, chat and wait.

"Brother Zhai, I heard that you have been a soldier or a tank soldier, isn't that so?" Chai Hua was a little curious.

"Hahaha, this is all what the guy at the mutton stall said, I have let him talk about this bit of history. Old Zhai Tou laughed heartily.

Well, come on, this quack, there's nothing to keep secret anyway.

"We are short, and the soldiers in Qingdao are tall. Lao Zhai Tou first sighed, and then began the official introduction of the glorious history-

Most of the soldiers who went out here were short, like me, and there were many, many of them. And on the other side of Qingdao, all of them are big men. Therefore, many of the soldiers who went out on our side became tank soldiers, and many of the soldiers on the Qingdao side were honor guards.

Guan Heping was a little puzzled, can height still determine what kind of soldier to be? Yes, tank soldiers are basically short people, why? Because there is only a little space in the tank cab, and there is no need for tank soldiers to climb out and charge into battle, so they choose their own short ones as much as possible. And the Qingdao soldiers are all tall and dignified, so it would be a pity not to rely on the soldiers.

"At that time, the tank was small, how big was the tank now. That's why these short men have this opportunity to be a tankman. After talking about these glorious histories, Lao Zhai Tou himself was happy.

Indeed, not only the tank soldiers choose to be short, but also the navy, Chai Hua and Guan Heping, who have been to Qingdao, have seen them, those navy soldiers are basically not tall, and they are mostly southern soldiers.

A few people laughed and laughed, and before they knew it, they went in for an hour, and at this time the doorman seemed to have someone coming in - a girl in her 20s came in, and it should be that Lao Zhaitou's daughter was back.

When the girl walked into the house, Chai Hua and Guan Heping's eyes lit up, for Mao? This girl is simply so beautiful, Qing Shui out of hibiscus, this is the feeling!

I have to sigh, it's really a party of water and soil to raise a person, as Hu Ge Liweiduo said, there are really beautiful girls here, that Tongguping Daji, I saw several of them, and now there is another one in front of me, this Taihe Reservoir is really a beauty.

Seeing that his daughter was back, Lao Zhai Tou was very happy, and hurriedly asked how much royal jelly he had brought back, and replied that it was two bottles.

Chai Hua and Guan Heping were very happy when they heard it, it seems that the two of them don't have to fight, one bottle per person is just right.

When the goods are complete, don't stay at someone's house, feel like you take the goods and leave.

Lao Zhai Tou helped pack it, found two cardboard boxes, and asked the two of them to pack the honey in cardboard boxes so that they could be taken away.

Guan Heping thought for a while, and said to Chai Hua: "Chai Hua, you still don't want royal jelly, I'm all covered." ”

"Hey, one bottle per person is just right, you can't be too greedy!" Chai Hua was reluctant.

"Look, I want it, and I won't go to your house in the end!" Guan Heping was a little angry.

"I, that's the truth," Chai Hua understood what Guan Heping meant, "But it's not a feeling for you to buy it with me!"

"It's not good for me to come to the door with a bottle!" Guan Heping is a little bit unsuccessful.

"Okay, good, give it to you, you can buy it, you want it! I don't want to save you money!" Chai Hua reluctantly gave up.

Soon packed the bag and was ready to say goodbye, but at this time, the roar of a motorcycle came from far and near, and when the sound of the motorcycle stopped abruptly in front of the door, Lao Zhaitou's face changed greatly, and he urged Chai Hua and Guan Heping to go quickly.

It's too late, the people have already come in - the two strong men came in without knocking on the door, and they were opposite Chai Hua, Guan Heping and Lao Zhai Tou, who were about to go out.

Chai Hua and Guan Heping looked at each other, they were not outsiders, but the one-armed Wang Mao Dalu and that Sun Zhaoshui who they met at the big set on the opposite side seemed to have really gathered to buy royal jelly.

"Dad, there are guests, buy honey, I'm here for you!" the one-armed king who walked in front spoke.

And Chai Hua and Guan Heping didn't frighten their jaws - the big donkey actually called Lao Zhai Tou "Dad"?

This is really a bad thing, you said that you hit someone's house!

Slowly, Chai Hua and Guan Heping looked at Lao Zhaitou, and the two found that Lao Zhaitou's face at this time was even more uncomfortable than eating maggots.

"I'm not your father, and you're not my son! Don't think about Junying's score, I can't marry you if I marry anyone!" Lao Zhai Tou's words were categorical, but when outsiders heard it, they felt that it was simply the rhythm of trouble.

But people are not impatient, and after the big donkey heard this, he was not angry, he was not angry!

"Dad, look at it, I've brought you business. The big donkey pointed to Sun Zhaoshui next to his hand and explained.

"I don't care, I don't want to hear you babble. Honey and royal jelly were bought. After speaking, Lao Zhai Tou pointed his finger at the sad two.

"Did these two guys buy it? Suddenly, the big donkey and Sun Zhaoshui screamed in unison - it turned out to be this guy!

Who? We'll ask you next time to break it down—
