Yang Yilin sat on the long-distance bus to Yangjiagou, he still looked out the window, he looked at the familiar peaks, terraces, and rivers here, and then looked at the familiar mountain scenery, houses, and trees through the car window, he looked at the Yuntian Mountain landform in his hometown, and thought about his father and mother who were waiting for him to go home.

Yang Yilin looked at it and thought of himself: I didn't expect that I would be born in such a remote place. My heart is so close to Hua Yuan, but Hua Yuan is so far away from Yangjiagou. I think it is not only the distance, but also the gap between the people of the two places from the material to the spiritual.

If I have never been out of Yangjiagou, never seen a big city, never known that there is such a beautiful world outside, then there will be no comparison, and the world of my life will only be Yangjiagou.

Many elders of Yangjiagou, after they married to Yangjiagou from a neighboring mountain village, they really never went out of Yangjiagou in their lives, Yangjiagou is the world of their lives, they have never felt miserable when they eat bran vegetables, and the joy of children and grandchildren around their knees is enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime.

I heard the elders say that when the grain of the new season has not yet come down, they eat coarse noodle dumplings, and the noodles are too little to wrap the vegetables, and the vegetable dumplings will fall apart as soon as they hold them, so they hold them and eat them. Just holding the vegetable dumplings in his hand, if he meets the neighbors, he is normally not embarrassed at all, and he still eats the vegetable dumplings and greets the neighbors and laughs. This is the life of people here who do not know that there is a world outside, and who work and feed themselves.

Yang Yilin is still thinking in his heart: If I had never been to a big city, I would not have compared the big city with Yangjiagou, then how would I know what my hometown is like! Although Yangjiagou has not yet become rich, but this is the place where I was born and raised, my Menghua and my happy teenager spent it in this kind place, when I think of it and see it, I have a special feeling for it that I will never forget!

Yang Yilin was sighing in his heart, and he paid a little attention: Ah, Yang Jiagou has arrived, my house has arrived, I have arrived home! He got off the long-distance bus with excitement in his heart.

Yangjiagou may have snowed a few days ago, and the snow on the ridge peak is one after another, this snow is a scene in the mountains, and it is also a scene in Yangjiagou.

Yang Jiagou is very long, Yang Yilin's home lives in the middle, and he still has to walk a while to get home, he walks and greets the villagers and acquaintances he meets. The travel bag he was holding was not too heavy, but the long way was not heavy, he walked a mile, and the hand holding the travel bag flicked back, and he carried the travel bag on his back.

As he was walking home, a woman of nearly forty years old came down from the side of the road and said to him very kindly, "I think this is Yilin coming back, right?"

Yang Yilin quickly stopped and responded: "It's me, Sister-in-law Niu Mao, are you still busy?"

As Yang Yilin spoke, he looked up at the newly built house of Niu Mao's sister-in-law, and said in his heart: I saw this new house last time I came back, and this new house gives people the feeling that it is beautiful and beautiful. Before building this new house, I will never forget the appearance of those old and dilapidated houses, and they will always be clearly printed in my thoughts.

Niu Mao's sister-in-law took over and said: "I was busy a few days ago, but I'm not busy today, if I want to say busy, that is, I'm busy making New Year's dumplings and eating New Year's dumplings, hehe! Hey, look at our Yilin the longer and more pompous, when I was a child, I looked good, this grows into an adult, it's even better-looking! I don't know whose good son-in-law it is! Gege Gege! Don't stand, maybe your mother is waiting for you at home, hurry home." ”

Yang Yilin nodded and smiled at Niu Mao's sister-in-law, continued to walk home, and met the villagers to say hello, he still kept looking at the hometown Lingfeng that he often missed, the appearance of this wide and long mountain village that he often missed, and the familiar big trees and houses in this mountain village that he had imprinted in his memory since he was a child.

Yang Yunling's family has two old mansions, and now lives in one. The old house was given to the boss Yang Yishan, and a lot of new bricks had been placed in the yard, and when the money was enough, the old house was demolished and a new house was built. Another newly divided house was assigned to the second Yang Yitong. Yang Yitong's house did not build a house, all the trees were planted, and when he had money, he would cut down the trees and build a new house.

Yang Yilin arrived at the gate, and as soon as he entered the gate, he shouted: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Father and mother came out of the hall, and when they saw their little son, they were all laughing and groaning with joy, and they all said, "Son, come into the house and put down your bag and rest!"

In the warm tank on the stove in the corner of the room to the east of the hall door, the mother scooped out hot water for her son to wash his face and soak his feet.

Yang Yilin said: "Mom, don't be busy, I'm not tired at all." As he spoke, after washing his face and feet, he happily went to get the contents of his travel bag.

My mother said, "Your factory is really good, and I will give you a day off early to come back for the New Year." ”

Yang Yilin said: "This is a regulation of the bureau, and all factory workers whose families are from other places can go home one day earlier. He smiled and talked about other things, and asked, "When will my eldest brother and sister-in-law come back?"

"They said they had something to do and they wouldn't be back until tomorrow," her mother said. Some time ago, your second brother went to open a store in another place, and he said that he would come back tomorrow for the New Year. Look at your second brother, if you do a business, you will take the territory to other places, we have such a big place here, and we still have to run so far? I don't understand, and I didn't say anything about him. ”

Yang Yilin saw that his mother didn't understand many things outside, and he couldn't explain it to his mother for a while, so he wanted to ask something, and said: "Mom, every time I come back in the past two years, as long as I meet Sister-in-law Niu Mao, she always talks to me very cordially, like today, I think she saw me first, and then came down the slope to talk to me." Why didn't you have it before?"

Mom said, "Oh, your sister-in-law Niu Mao saw you talk so well, that's because she and your Niu Mao brother are so grateful."

"The year before last, your father went to the town to catch the market and came back, it was dark, your Niu Mao brother was harvesting sweet potatoes in the field, there was a ditch in his field, he pulled a cart of sweet potatoes to pull home, and accidentally the cart overturned into the ditch. Your father didn't say a word, but went down to the ditch and helped him pull up the cart and sweet potatoes. Since then, he has spoken very well whenever he sees me. Dad nodded and smiled but didn't speak.

Yang Yilin said: "Our people in Yangjiagou may have this inheritance, Dad, Mom, I am also like this outside, who is a little good to me, I will keep it in my heart, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay this good." ”

Mom suddenly remembered something: "Boy, have you seen your new house in Brother Niu Mao's house?"

Yang Yilin said: "I saw it, I saw it last time I came back." ”

My mother said: "Our Yangjiagou is five miles long, and in such a big village, there are only four or five families who have built beautiful new houses, and your Brother Niu Mao's family has built such a beautiful new house." Your Niu Mao brother is working in the city, how can he earn so much money to build a house? Last spring, when you were digging in his sweet potato field and cultivating soil on the edge of the ditch, he actually dug out a bowl and a jar.

When he saw that it wasn't what it was now, he thought it must be an ancient artifact. When he was working in the city, he had heard about the buying and selling of antiquities, and he was so happy that he took off his clothes and wrapped these two things and went home. Then I took it to the antique shop in the city and sold it. Listening to your sister-in-law Niu Mao say that to me, it must have been sold for a lot of money, and his family built such a good house. Your sister-in-law Niu Mao also told me that your brother Niu Mao dug up all the land later, and he didn't dig anything out again. ”

Dad said: "When I was a child, I heard adults say that the emperor of the old days took refuge in our mountain, said that Li Shimin came, and some people from the ancient dynasty also came. Your mother has to make me dig up our ground and make me laugh. How many times have we plowed that land, how can there be? The land of Niu Mao was on the edge of a ditch, and no one had dug it on the side, so there was a miracle. Besides, that's also a blessing for each person, and several people have planted that piece of land, but they haven't found it. ”

As the family talked, the conversation turned to their own family......
