Dongxiang Ancient Village (novella love story) Zhang Baotong

On this morning, Wen Li and some sisters took turns to take a break and went to the township to collect money. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wenli not only received a salary of 500 yuan, but also received a commission reward of more than 500 yuan. For this reason, the deputy head of the township in charge of tourism affairs praised Wen Li greatly at the summary meeting. This made Wen Li happy and uneasy, because some sisters did not complete the task, so they didn't even get a penny of commissions and rewards. Therefore, as soon as she walked out of the gate of the township government, Wen Li walked slowly behind everyone with her head down.

After a while, Yuhua rushed over from behind, put her arms around Wen Li's shoulders, and said happily, "Guess how much commission I got?" Wen Li said, "I don't know." "Because the commissions and rewards issued are not public. Yuhua stretched out three fingers and made a gesture of eight, saying, "Three hundred and eight, plus a salary of five hundred yuan, it is eight hundred and eight." This is a year's worth of rice for my family of three!" As he spoke, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to hug Wen Li and kiss her.

Wen Li was also sincerely happy and said, "No, my family of four has worked hard for a year to earn a maximum of seven or eight thousand yuan, but now I can easily earn more than 10,000 yuan alone." This is something that I never even dreamed of in the past. Yuhua said, "Didn't the township chief say that in the future, the tourism of our township will develop greatly, and at that time, we will make more money." ”

Looking at Yuhua's extremely excited appearance, Wen Li smiled and said, "Sister Hua, you said, we are earning more and more money, how should we spend this amount of money?" Yuhua patted Wen Li's shoulder and said, "Silly girl, there are so many places to spend money." You see, the Han people in Longquan Township, although they are only separated from us by a river, but which one of them does not have color televisions, refrigerators, motorcycles, washing machines, and which ones do not build new houses? However, our Dong family has nothing to want, and we don't even have a bicycle when we go out, so we want to live that kind of good life, and there are really too many places to spend money. ”

Wen Li said disapprerovingly, "Although we don't have color TVs, refrigerators, motorcycles, washing machines, or new houses, aren't we living well?" Yuhua patted Wen Li's shoulder again and said, "Can we still be applauded this day?"

After Yuhua said this, Wen Li found that her clothes were already soaked with sweat. Seeing the sun rising higher and higher, Wen Li had no choice but to fan herself with the palm of her hand while continuing to walk forward.

A Han boy passed by on a motorcycle, and when he saw the two of them in a mess, he said, "Two sisters, get in the car." Wen Li hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you want money?" The Han guy smiled and said, "No, I know that you Dong people don't take cars that ask for money." ”

Yuhua didn't think it sounded, so she said, "That's not likely." It's not that we're out of money. ”

The Han guy said, "I don't want you to be rich." Wen Li was a little puzzled, so she asked, "Why?" The Han guy said, "No, it's because you two are beautiful." When Yuhua heard this, she said, "Then it's up to this brother." Then, he pulled Wen Li and sat in the back seat together.

The Han boy sent them all the way to the covered bridge on the side of the road behind the village. The covered bridge is about five meters wide and more than 20 meters long, and it spans a small river more than 10 meters wide. Because of the doorway, the small bridge can not only cross the river, but also provide shelter for the villagers from the sun and rain, and it is also a place for young people to talk about love and sing love songs.

On both sides of the covered bridge there are benches made of bamboo. Because it was still early and they were not in a hurry to go home, the two sat on the bench and began to chat. Yuhua is nineteen years old this year, two years older than Wen Li, and two years ago she tried to marry and live with Brother A Xiang in this village, but she has no children yet, so the two have not been able to officially get married.

As soon as the two talked about marriage and love, Wen Li said, "Sister A is the most beautiful woman in the village, and Brother A Xiang is the strongest man in the village." You two are the best couple in our village. However, let Wen Li never expect it, Yuhua frowned so tightly, sighed and said, "Okay, sometimes, I really want to run far away and never want to come back." ”

Wen Li was taken aback and said, "How can Sister have such an idea?" Could it be that Brother Ah Xiang is so bad?" Yuhua thought for a while and said, "I can't say anything good or bad, but I just don't like him." Wen Li said, "If you don't like it, you can break up, anyway, you don't have children yet, and you are not married." ”

Yuhua sighed and said, "But, it's not even three years, why don't you say it's scattered? Besides, if it's scattered, who will you go to? I have already seen the elder brother in our village, and none of them have made me tempted." Wen Li said, "It's just because Sister Ah is so good, that none of the elder brothers in the entire village can be worthy." ”

Yuhua then asked Wen Li, "Do you really just want to find a brother for yourself in the village?" Wen Li blinked and said, "I can't tell, anyway, there are only Dong people in these villages in our township." If you don't look for it in your own village, you can only find it in your neighboring village. However, I think the people in the village are not as clever and clever as the people in our village. ”

Yuhua looked into the distance with thoughtful and yearning eyes, and said in a pertinent tone, "You see that the Han people go south and north, and dare to do it." However, our elder brother and sister of the Dong nationality have stayed in the village for many years and have not gone out, and how many people have never been to Guilin and Yangshuo in their lives. Then, not without sadness, he said, "If I were two or three years younger, like you, I would rather find a Han than a Dong person." Han men are smart and capable, love women, and don't let women do heavy work. It's like our Dong men, as soon as they get married, they stay at home to watch the children cook, and they have to rely on our women to work in the fields to support them. ”

Wen Li nodded plausibly and said, "Han men are smart and capable. However, I heard my grandma and grandmother say that Han men like the new and hate the old, and it is very unrealistic to live with them, and maybe they will dump you one day. Yuhua smiled and said, "Then there is something, you go to Longquan Village across the river to see, how many of them are divorced?"

About half an hour later, several other sisters also came to the bridge. Not only were their faces covered in sweat, but their clothes were also soaked and clung to their bodies. As soon as they sat down on the bench, they lifted their clothes against the vent so that the cool breeze could blow away the hot sweat from their bodies.

Gina is the eldest of the sisters, twenty-four or five years old, and a grandmother with three children, because she has only studied in a Han school for one or two years, so her education level is relatively poor. In this month's commission reward, she is one of the few receptionists who did not complete the task, not only did not get a penny of commission reward, but also received criticism from the deputy township chief who did not name her, and the fire in her stomach has nowhere to come out. We walked tiringly for a long time and sweated, but the two of us disappeared unconsciously, not only did not sweat, but also arrived here early. It can be seen that people are smarter than us. ”

Another sister Yuxiu, who was criticized like Gina, also echoed and said, "Of course people are different from us, but they didn't spend a penny, and they were sent by motorcycle." How can we have such blessings? ”

Wen Li felt that her voice was wrong, so she said in a very peaceful tone, "Usually the sisters are affectionate and kind, why should we be in a bad mood for this commission and reward, and hurt the harmony? In the past, we didn't receive tourists, we didn't earn a penny, and we didn't all live well." Now, no matter what you say, whether the commission and reward are more or less, at least there is a salary of 500 yuan per month. So, I think it's very good that we can get such a large salary, and as for commissions and rewards, none of us should compare with anyone, and we don't care how much or how much we can get. If you have to care, then I will give you my commission and rewards. ”

Yuhua snorted, choked Wen Li and said, "Why should we give the commissions and rewards we have worked so hard to get to others? Didn't the deputy township chief say that we want the eight immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers; we must reward and punish laziness for hard work, and get more for our work." We do more and take more, and we are also generating more income and contributing more to our hometown. ”

Everyone was silent when they said this, but Yuhua then said, "Let's all look at the Han people, we are all comparing who earns more than whom, and who has the ability to do it; ”

But Gina said, "You have the ability to make money, there is more money in the world, see if you can earn it in your lifetime?" Yuxiu next to him also said, "Don't worry, you just earn 10,000 yuan a day, we won't be blushing, let alone ask for a penny from you." ”

Listening to Gina and Xiuyu's words, Wen Li didn't want to say more, so she got up from the bench and walked towards the village angrily alone. After crossing the covered bridge, it is the boundary of Yuntian Village. The ripe rice is blown by the breeze and exudes a faint aroma. In the rice fields, which are radiating heat, some middle-aged women can be seen working in the fields.
