Dongxiang Ancient Village (novella love story) Zhang Baotong

Walking under the door number of Dong Township Ancient Village is equivalent to entering the village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In the past, the villagers were still quite poor, with dilapidated houses, bricks and tiles eroded, and some families still living in old and dilapidated hanging corner towers. Moreover, the houses in the village are also more crowded, and there is only a narrow bluestone paved path between the houses. At best, such a trail can only pass a bicycle, not even a tricycle. However, there are no plastic bags or scraps of paper that are discarded in the village, and there is no single child who defecates in the open. I could only see a few puppies standing on the side of the road, watching groups of tourists walk along the bluestone path in the village with unfamiliar eyes. Moreover, the village is very quiet, perhaps because of the busy farming, people are working in the fields, most of the doors are closed, and even if some of the doors are open, only some children and old people can be seen alone in the houses.

Wen Li's house is located in the middle of the village, and it is a half-brick and half-wood hanging corner building. As soon as you enter, there is a hall and an open-air patio with forty or fifty small stools tightly packed inside. This is used to receive tourists. There are two or three doors next to the hall house, where Wenli's grandmother and her parents live. Wen Li's bedroom is upstairs. The doorless hut at the back of the hall is the family's kitchen, which has little else but a stove, an iron pot, chopsticks, and firewood. Due to the perennial fire, the walls have been smoked to a black-gray color.

When everyone entered the house, Wen Li said, "Please sit down, brother and sister-in-law." So, everyone sat on the small stools, but some tourists were more curious, so they wanted to open the door next to the house to see the Dong family's bedroom or other rooms. Wen Li immediately said to them in a tone of admonition, "Our Dong family's bedroom is not allowed to be seen by outsiders and allowed outsiders to enter, if you see or enter, our Dong family will think that you are going to bring us the scourge." As soon as they heard this, the tourists hurriedly put away their curiosity and sat down on the small stool honestly.

Seeing that the tourists all sat down quietly, Wen Li also sat on a small stool, lifted a big red cloth in front of her, and displayed a large round dustpan in front of everyone. Hundreds of silver objects, large and small, are neatly arranged in the dustpan. There are silver bracelets, silver earrings, silver collars, silver hairpins, silver buns, silver crown pendants, silver ankle rings and silver belts. These items are shiny and dazzling, and you can't help but pick them up and try them out. Moreover, so many people came to see and try it all at once, which made Wen Li worried, but it was not easy to stop it, so Wen Li said to everyone, "You can see it, but you can't take it, if you want to take it, you have to pay first, otherwise, I have to pay from my salary for what you take." ”

Looking at the attempt, a young girl asked, "How much silver is in these silver jewelry, and is there any quality assurance?" Wen Li picked up a silver necklace and said to the man, "These silver ornaments are made by the very skilled old men in our village, and the silver content is generally between 92.6% and 98.2%. The quality is absolutely guaranteed, believe it or not, you see, there are certifications from the Quality Inspection Bureau here. ”

Another middle-aged woman put a bracelet on her wrist and tried it, and thought it was good, so she asked, "How much does this bracelet cost?" and how many grams does it have?" Wen Li immediately replied, "This bracelet weighs about 25 grams, 200 yuan." The middle-aged woman said, "Is it sold for 100 yuan?" Wen Li was stunned, thinking that this woman was too good at bargaining, and she was about to kill half of the price as soon as she opened her mouth, so she immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to, the price of these silver jewelry is set by the government." If I sell you a hundred dollars, I will have to pay for you the other hundred dollars. Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman hesitated. At this time, the middle-aged man next to him said, "If you like it, buy it, it's not easy for a little girl to do this." ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she turned her face blank and said, "Okay, I'll buy it, but you can help me with the 100 yuan." The middle-aged man said, "I'll come out." As he spoke, he handed a hundred yuan to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman happily bought the bracelet. Looking at the bracelets bought by middle-aged women, several other young women also bought themselves a necklace or earrings.

Seeing that everyone had bought almost everything they should have bought, and those who didn't want to buy it wouldn't buy it, the tour guide said to everyone, "If you want to buy it, buy it quickly, we have to get in the car and hurry away." With that, he led everyone out of the door. As soon as the tour guide left, the tourists followed out.

After the tourists left, Wen Li rearranged the silver ornaments in the dustpan, counted the money in her hand, and then simply rearranged the small stool in the house, and went out. Thinking that this time the business was not bad, a total of more than 500 yuan of goods were sold, and according to the government's 5% commission, she could get 25 yuan. Maybe this 25 yuan is nothing for tourists, but for the people in their Dong Township Ancient Village, it can be regarded as a lot of income.

When they came to the pergola again, almost all the tourists had already boarded the car, and only the young guide was still talking to a sister on the edge of the pergola. When he saw Wen Li coming, he ran over and said to her, "Hey, beauty, take a group photo." As he spoke, without waiting for Wen Li to agree, he took out a camera from his backpack and asked a tourist to help take a picture.

Wen Li herself has no good impression of the tour guide, seeing that the tour guide is not tall and not strong, wearing a plaid shirt that is neither male nor female, her face is full of oil and slippery, as if she has been soaked in an oil pot, so not only does Wen Li not have a good impression, but even a little annoying. What Wen Li couldn't tolerate the most was that he actually put his arm around Wen Li's shoulders during the group photo, as if Wen Li was his beloved girlfriend. She really wanted to push him away hard, lose her temper again, and make him feel uncomfortable. However, thinking that these tour guides were offended, I had to endure it without venting.

After taking a group photo, the tour guide held the camera, smiled smoothly, and said, "Look, the two of us are talented and beautiful, what a match!" Wen Li glanced at it with disdain, but when she saw that the picture was clear and colorful, she took the camera in her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, thinking to herself: Is she really so beautiful? The tour guide saw that Wen Li was a little addicted, and said more and more proudly, "How is it, is it a talented woman?"

Wen Li returned the camera to the tour guide, sighed and said, "I take pictures with others every day, but I don't even have a photo myself." When the tour guide heard this, he smiled very smoothly, "Little sister, don't worry, there will be photos, and my brother will also have them." With that, he raised his hand towards Wen Li and entered the bus that had already started.

This situation is normal for Sister Ah Mei in Dong Township Ancient Village. Every day, some foreign tourists fall in love with this sister or that sister, and some tourists immediately want to take this sister or that sister. However, these are all just jokes, and no one will take them seriously.

Two days later, the tour guide arrived with another carload of tourists. After he organized the tourists and let a sister take them into the village, he ran over, sat down in front of Wen Li, and called out to Wen Li in his smooth but very kind tone, "Little sister, hello." Wen Li knew that he was coming, but deliberately pretended not to see it, and when she saw the tour guide sitting in front of her, she didn't even raise her head, and asked while embroidering flowers, "Who are you?" The tour guide widened his eyes and pulled his voice, saying, "I am your elder brother, and it has only been two days, so you can't recognize your elder brother?"

Wen Li saw that it was a group photo taken by the two that day, and said, "I don't want it." The tour guide frowned and said, "Why?" said Wen Li, "because there is a portrait of you on it." The tour guide said, "So what?" Wen Li said, "Let my family see me and ask me who this person is, how should I answer?" The tour guide said, "Just say it's your brother." Wen Li said seriously, "But they know that I don't have such a brother at all." ”

The tour guide looked a little disappointed, sighed and said, "You didn't say that you take pictures every day, but you don't even have a photo." I sent you the photo, why don't you want it?" Wen Li said, "I wanted my own photo, I didn't say I wanted your photo." The tour guide couldn't help it, so he put the photo in his waist bag, and then, taking out his camera, said to Wen Li, "Okay, I'll take a separate photo for you." ”

Wen Li seemed to put down the needle and embroidery in her hand without appreciation, and came to the gatehouse of the "Dong Township Ancient Village" to let the tour guide take a photo. The tour guide took several photos in a row, and each photo showed Wen Li the picture. At this time, several other sisters also came over to coax and coax, and said to the tour guide, "Tour guide, don't be too partial, only give Wen Li a photo, not give us a photo." The tour guide said, "Okay, do you want to take a group photo or a single photo?" The tour guide kept taking pictures of them.

Before the photos were finished, the tourists had already started to get on the bus, so the tour guide put away the camera and said to Sister Amei, "I'm sorry, I have to take them to Yangshuo, and I have to go to Yulong River after lunch at noon." As he spoke, he urged the tourists to get on the bus quickly.

After the car drove away, Yuhua came over, secretly stuffed the photo of Wen Li and the tour guide to Wen Li, and whispered, "This is what the tour guide asked me to give you." He seems to be in love with you. Wen Li snorted and blamed, "Sister, what are you talking nonsense." Yuhua said, "It's not me who said, you look at the back of the photo." Wen Li looked at the back of the photo, which read:

Flowers bloom and bees come

Flowers and bees are inseparable

Bees are born to love flowers

Flowers bloom for bees

The affection of the elder brother and sister is deep

It's like a plantain

Brother is like a banana leaf

Ah Mei is the heart of the plantain

After reading it, Wen Li's nose was crooked, and she threw the photo into Yuhua's hand and said, "You give him the photo back." Yuhua seemed a little in a dilemma, so she persuaded Wen Li and said, "Actually, I think this tour guide brother is very good, and he is a good match for you, if you can combine them, it's really good." Wen Li looked angry and said with a tantrum, "What's good, you didn't see him as oily as an oil cake." Besides, you don't know, how can our Dong sisters intermarry and fall in love with the Han people?" After speaking, he turned his back and sat on the bench, ignoring Yuhua anymore.
