Dongxiang Ancient Village (novella love story) Zhang Baotong
When Wen Li heard this, she was startled, and said, "I'm afraid that your calligraphy and painting are only made of gold?" The old man said, "You can figure it out, this calligraphy and painting is inscribed by Mao Gong himself." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is certainly much more valuable than gold. Mao Gong, do you know Mao Gong?" Wen Li shook her head and said, "I don't know. The old man said, "It's Chairman Mao, his old man." Of course, Wen Li knew Chairman Mao, because it was he who announced the founding of the People's Republic of China.
When Wen Li heard this, her face changed color in fright, so she had to look at Brother Xu with her eyes pleading. Brother Xu was not panicked, he unfolded the calligraphy and painting, and saw that it was written in cursive "Guilin beautiful scenery reed flute rock, Mao Zedong inscribed in 1963 Qingming Festival", so he asked the old man, "I'm afraid this is not Mao Gong's handwritten inscription, right?" The old man said in a tough tone, "How can it not be Mao Gong's words? You don't know Mao Gong's words, and there is no culture." ”
Brother Xu smiled and said, "When did Gong Mao come to Guilin? You can only deceive my girlfriend, how can you deceive me?" Then, he said, "Let me tell you, I am the tour guide here, I come here every day on this reed flute rock, I think you have met too, right?" The old man looked at Brother Xu carefully, nodded, and said, "It's quite familiar." Brother Xu threw the calligraphy and painting in front of the old man, and said, "It's good to know me, don't bully me, otherwise, don't blame me for ruining your business." The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "That's that." Wen Li didn't expect this matter to be resolved by Brother Xu like this, her gratitude and admiration rose, she couldn't help but hold Brother Xu's hand and said, "Brother Xu, you are amazing!"
Arriving at the entrance to the Reed Flute Rock, a young narrator in professional attire was waiting for them at the entrance. Brother Xu introduced to Wen Li, "This is our most famous commentator in Guilin, named Li Yujie, who heard that you were here, so he came to explain for you." Wen Li hurriedly said in a very admiring tone, "Yes, Mr. Li is a national first-class commentator, and he also gave a lecture and did training for our trainees yesterday. Li Yujie shook Wen Li's hand cordially and said, "Are you that beautiful Dong sister?"
Entering the Reed Flute Rock is like entering a fairyland. There are a large number of strange and colorful, exquisitely clear stalagmites, stone milk, stone pillars, stone curtains, stone flowers, dazzling, forming the scenery of Shiling Chaoxia, Hongluo Treasure Tent, Panlong Pagoda, primeval forest, crystal palace, Huaguo Mountain, etc., and then by Li Yujie's vivid and interesting explanation, it is even more difficult to make people feel that it is strange and beautiful, full of fun. After visiting the Reed Flute Rock, the two went around the downtown business district for a long time, and then watched the performance of the "Liu Sanjie" troupe until ten o'clock in the evening, and then reluctantly parted.
It didn't take long for Brother Xu to come with a large carload of tourists, and he also brought Wen Li and her sisters a few boxes of Guilin's specialty pastries. These pastries are delicate and sweet, don't say you haven't eaten them, you haven't even seen them, but when you taste them, they scream. So, each of them took out a little bit of the pastry in each box, was reluctant to eat it, and then rushed to their own house to share these delicious things with their children and families.
After the sisters left the pergola, Brother Xu sat in front of Wen Li, put a beautiful mobile phone in Wen Li's hand, and said, "My dear sister, this is my gift to you." Wen Li saw that it was a mobile phone, and asked, "How much does it cost?" Brother Xu said, "It's not much, it's only one thousand two or three." However, Wen Li immediately shook her head and said, "I don't want to." ”
Brother Xu was immediately unhappy and asked, "Why?" Wen Li said, "I can't ask for such a valuable thing." Brother Xu explained, "It's only more than 1,000 yuan, what's so valuable? The main thing is not that there is more money or less money, but that I have a piece of heart." As he spoke, he put the phone in Wen Li's hand again. However, Wen Li still refused to accept it, saying, "I really can't accept it, and if I really want to accept it, I have to wait until we settle the matter." ”
Seeing that Wen Li insisted on not accepting it, Brother Xu asked, "Then you say, when will our matter be decided?" Wen Li said apologetically, "I haven't told my grandmother and grandma yet." They had to agree to it. Brother Xu looked a little worried and asked, "What if they don't agree?" Wen Li lowered her head and said, "I don't know." ”
Brother Xu frowned for a while, and said, "Why don't you take a day off in a few days and come over to visit them?" Wen Li showed a smile and said, "In a few days, it will be October 17th, which is the festival of our Dong people singing and sitting sisters, and you can come over when the time comes." Brother Xu said, "Okay, I will definitely come, but I don't know what preparations to make and what gifts to bring?" Wen Li looked a little shy and said, "I don't know much about these, or you go and ask Sister Yuhua?"
In a few days, it will be the festival of singing and sitting in the village of Dong, and Brother Xu will come to propose. So, these days, Wen Li has been thinking about how to tell her and Brother Xu about her grandmother and grandma. However, these words came to his lips several times, but he did not say them. On this day, Wen Li finally mustered up the courage to say this to her grandmother and grandma. However, as soon as she got home from work, she heard her grandmother yelling.
When she entered the hall, she saw Abba sitting on a small stool with his head bowed, as if he had broken some house rule. Grandma sat at the small table, banging on the table and yelling at Abba at the other. Wen Li thought that Abba had always been honest and honest, and how could he make Grandma angry like this, so she said to Grandma, "Grandma, what's wrong with you, shouting so that the whole village can hear your voice." ”
Grandma pointed to Abba and said, "You ask him what he has done." Wen Li walked up to Abba and asked, "Abba what the hell is wrong with you to make my grandma angry like this?" Abba covered his face with his hands, but remained silent. At this time, my grandmother came out of the bedroom and said on fire, "The family is tired and tired of working in the fields all day long, and they are not willing to spend a penny. As he spoke, he warned, "If you want to gamble like this again, move to the house." ”
Grandma is the authority in the Wenli family, and no one dares to disobey her words. Hearing Grandma say such things to Abba, I knew that Grandma was going to drive Abba out. Wen Li hurriedly said to her grandmother, "Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry." With that, he took his grandmother into the house. When I entered the house, I listened to my grandmother, and I learned that Abba lost more than 100 yuan by playing pai gow, because the borrowed money had not been repaid for many days, so the family found the family to ask for money. Grandma and Grandma didn't allow Abba to play cards and gamble money, and when they heard that Abba borrowed money to play cards, how could they not be thunderous?
Wen Li listened to her grandmother's narration, so she persuaded her grandmother and said, "Although it is wrong for my father to play cards, he is also an adult, don't lose your temper with him and make him lose face." But my grandmother said, "He knows what face is, and if he knows face, he won't borrow money and play cards to get people to find the door of the house." ”
Wen Li asked again, "What's wrong with my father, he doesn't speak all day long, and I can't see his smiling face?" Hearing this, my grandmother sighed and said, "There are some things you don't know, your father is not from our Dong people, he is from the Han people." Wen Li was stunned when she heard this, and said, "How is my Abba a Han?"
Grandma took a breath and said, "Your Abba used to wander from out of town with his Abba and Grandma. When he came to us, he saw that our people had food and clothing, so he left him in the house while your father was asleep at night, and took the other three children with him. At that time, your father was only four years old, and when he woke up in the morning, he couldn't see his mother and grandma, so he sat at the head of the village and cried. Your dead grandfather was forty or fifty years old at the time, unmarried, had no children, lived alone, and when he saw that the children were pitiful, he took your father home. Two years ago, there was a big boss from Henan, who said that it was your Abba's brother, who came to the village to find your Abba, and wanted to take your Abba and you back to his hometown in Henan. However, your grandma and I disagree. That's why your Abba has been unhappy all the time.
After listening to her grandmother's story, Wen Li's ears immediately echoed what Brother Xu said when she first saw her, "I don't think you look like the Dong family's sister at all, just like our Han sister." "Yes, what she didn't expect was that she was really a Han sister, otherwise, how could she learn Chinese so quickly, Mandarin is better than that of the Han villagers in Lincun.
Wen Li came out of her grandmother's house and saw Abba still sitting on the small stool next to the table with his head down, as if he was silently crying. Grandma has already entered the kitchen and is cooking. Wen Li walked to Abba's side, put her hand on Abba's shoulder, and shouted, "Abba", and tears welled up from her eyes. Abba watched his daughter comfort him in this way, and she covered her face and cried. Wen Li held back her tears and said in a low voice, "Abba don't cry, if you want money in the future, you will tell your daughter." Abba shook his head again and again, crying even more sadly.
