Seeing Qin Hao and a few others, Tang Xin was finally able to accept the facts, Mu Junyao's regular members were so together, they were obviously prepared, they were isolated here and it was difficult to help, even Sister Lan could be coaxed away by him, the form was not optimistic! Tang Xin, keep yourself, don't mess with him if you have nothing to do.

With such thoughts and cognition, Tang Xin was really well-behaved, talking and laughing with everyone, eating breakfast happily, and after being forced by Mu Junyao to eat an egg and drink a big bowl of porridge, he looked at the steamed bun in his hand and stared dryly.

"Here, add some mustard. Mu Junyao thoughtfully put a shredded mustard on the steamed bun in her hand and raised her eyebrows.

Tang Xinmu glanced at him with a face, took a bite reluctantly, only bit the place next to the mustard, and begged with a bitter face, "I really can't eat it, I've listened to you finish a whole bowl of porridge, really, I tried my best." ”

Qin Hao and the others at the back table couldn't help but squirt out when they heard her desperate voice say, "I tried my best," and they couldn't help but squirt.

Tang Xin looked back at them and saw a few people eating with natural expressions, forget it, it's not the first time to lose face anyway, glared at the man next to him, and muttered in a low voice, "Take a chicken feather as an arrow." ”

Mu Junyao raised his eyebrows and replied unhurriedly, "The chicken feather arrow that Sister Lan gave before she left is really good." ”

Tang Xin rolled his eyes and lowered his shoulders, knowing that he couldn't fight with Mu Junyao, so he straightened his chest again, with a cute smile on his face, and said obediently, "It's better for me to eat more at noon, okay, I really don't like to eat steamed buns." ”

Mu Junyao chuckled lightly and said slowly, "That's a good idea." ”

Tang Xin happily put down the steamed buns, wiped his hands with a tissue, and saw that Mu Junyao naturally picked up the steamed buns she put down and was about to eat them, so he hurriedly stopped, "I've eaten it!"

Mu Junyao approached her and said ambiguously, "You just want to hear me say that I have eaten all your saliva, right? ”

Tang Xin blushed slightly, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and closed his mouth in the man's low laughter.

After eating, Aya walked to the lobby and said that the village chief of Guzhai Village had come, and led Tang Xin to the sofa area in the lobby. The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa heard the footsteps and hurriedly turned around, stood up and walked towards the group with a happy face.

Aya introduced, "Miss Tang, this is the village chief of our Guzhai Village, Ren Baoquan Village Chief. ”

Tang Xin smiled and handed out her little white hand, "Hello, village chief." Thank you for sending so many mountain goods to Tang Yuan every year, and I came to pick them up myself this time. ”

Ren Baoquan took Tang Xin's hand and laughed, "Hello, little Tang Xin, we finally met again." ”

Tang Xin blinked his eyes wide and asked suspiciously, "Have we met before?"

Ren Baoquan smiled and said, "Of course, I saw you when you were one and three years old, and I hugged you, but you were still young at the time, so you can't remember me." It's nice that you've grown into a pretty big girl in a blink of an eye. Ren Baoquan's tone was filled with relief and the joy of reunion.

Tang Xinhe smiled, pointed to Mu Junyao next to him and said, "This is my friend Mr. Mu, and the few next to him are his colleagues, they heard that Guzhai Village is beautiful, and they came to play with me." ”

"Welcome, welcome. Ren Baoquan hurriedly grabbed Mu Junyao and said politely, "Welcome to Guzhai Village."

Tang Xin saw that the two sides had met, so he said politely, "I'm going to trouble the village chief today." ”

Ren Baoquan looked at her face and said lovingly, "Xiao Tang Xin, don't call me the village chief, I grew up with your father, your grandmother is my cousin, your mother came to sketch and live in my house, and I have been friends with your mother for many years, so you can call me uncle like when you were a child." ”

Tang Xin immediately said obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Ren." ”

Haha, Ren Baoquan smiled and said heartily, "Then let's go, and my uncle will show you your hometown." ”

The group walked out of the hotel and slowly walked in the direction of the stone stele, Ren Baoquan introduced the situation of the village to everyone while walking, "Our ancient village has a history of more than 1,700 years, there are more than 1,000 households, you see," Ren Baoquan pointed to the village built by the mountain, "We still retain the pattern when it was first built." ”

When I arrived yesterday, it was already dark, and I only took a rough look at the morning running, which will Tang Xin see clearly the whole picture of the village hidden in the mountains and forests, the wooden stilted buildings in the village are built in an orderly manner along the mountain terrain, both continuous and private, the houses are surrounded by bluestone blocks and bamboo fences into a small courtyard, and there are occasionally bamboo and maple trees dotted in the meantime, and it is indeed a paradise with individual style as my mother said.

"Our houses are built with bluestone as the foundation, and then use cedar pillars to build a house on it, and the green tile covers the roof, until the earthquake of that year, most of the people's houses were damaged, and the old man Tang sent someone to help us after knowing it, and gave us the structure of the house to be reinforced with a steel structure, and also asked to restore the appearance to the original appearance, he is really a person with a heart. Ren Baoquan said that Tang Yuanshan sighed for a while, "We have nine holes and eighteen villages in this area, and they are all poor villages for 20 years, so poor ......" Ren Baoquan shook his hand, "Yun Rou just came here with the school to write a student, and it completely changed our lives, the most valuable thing is that she and your grandfather regard this place as a treasure, and other villages also have large groups and large companies and even help by the state personally, most of them have completely lost the original style of the village, but only our village retains the most primitive appearance." At that time, your mother often said that everyone in the world loves freshness, but only these old-school things can last, she is right, our ancient village now relies on this old-school appearance as a resource, and the annual income is enough for the entire village to operate, and there is even more surplus to help other villages, Tang Xin, your mother is the lucky star of our ancient village. Ren Baoquan said that his old friend was full of tears.

Tang Xin was also silent when he heard about his mother and grandfather.

When Ren Baoquan came back to his senses and saw her appearance, he immediately said with annoyance, "I'm sorry, Xiao Tang Xin, my uncle has reminded you of bad memories." ”

Tang Xin came back to his senses, smiled and said open-mindedly, "It's okay uncle, I really want to hear about them." ”

Mu Junyao knew that she was uncomfortable, and shook her slightly cool little hand with her big hand, Tang Xin turned his eyes and gave him a smile, indicating that he was fine.

Everyone walked slowly along the bluestone road to the depths of the village, Ren Baoquan continued, "The village is full of this kind of bluestone slabs or pebble paths, although it is difficult to walk, but it does have a unique flavor for city people who are used to walking on cement roads," Tang Xin nodded with a smile, and her face returned to her bright appearance, " In addition to the river I saw when I just came, there are six streams in the village, which is the natural water source of our ancient village, there is tap water in the new village, and our ancient village drinks the mountain spring water that flows down from Fulan Mountain, people follow the ancient precepts, the stream water in the village is only for drinking, and the pulp washes to the river outside, so the water is particularly clean and cool. ”

All the way forward, everyone was deeply attracted by the natural and unique national characteristics of the building. The drying rack in front of the house and behind the house, the tall pointed barn, the small flowers and grass in the yard, the curved wooden railing in front of the hall, the embroidered women sitting by the small stone bridge, and the chattering cats and dogs under the big trees were all photographed into the mobile phone by Tang Xin with a happy face.

Tang Xin took two steps to take two photos, and the big men who followed behind her were all affected by her happy and cute appearance, Ren Baoquan looked at Mu Junyao's doting gaze that had been following Tang Xin, and he knew it in his heart, with the old father's relief on his face.

Qin Hao looked at Ren Baoquan amusedly, and muttered in a low voice, "I knew that Miss Tang would come here to coax her, and she was still engaged in those wasteful wastes of time." ”

"Xiao Tang Xin, in front of us is the center of our village Lusheng Ping, where all the festivals and ceremonies in our village are held," Ren Baoquan pointed to an open field in front of him, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs and pebbles, and the ancient totem patterns of the village are inlaid with pebbles in the middle of the slate and slate, and the middle place is a black and swarthy circular pit, which should be used to light a bonfire, "The stilted building on the right is the former primary school, your grandfather helped us build a new primary school, and it was repaired and became the activity center of the village." Tang Xin looked over and saw a small wooden building not far from the sidelines, and the colorful flags hanging on the eaves of the railing were fluttering in the wind. "Follow this road all the way up, it is the east gate of the village, and the sunrise on Fulan Mountain is from here. ”

Tang Xin immediately became interested when he heard this, "Is it the place where my mother sketched?"

Ren Baoquan nodded, "Your mother has been here for more than a month, I don't know how many times she has climbed Fulan Mountain, how many times she has seen the sunrise, and the beautiful scenery of Fulan Mountain has been recorded in her paintings." At that time, it was all mountain roads, it was not easy to go up the mountain, she was a delicate lady with torches, climbed up again and again, and took her painting equipment, now it is good, the old man arranged for us to build the trail up the mountain, all of them are stone roads, all the way also installed street lights, people who come to the ancient village will go to see the sunrise, and if you are lucky, you can also see the golden mountain. ”

"Really?" Tang Xin asked happily, "My mother told me about Rizhao Jinshan, and she said that she was not so lucky, and she had not seen it many times on the mountain. ”

Hehehe, Ren Baoquan said happily, "If you want to go, I'll find you a tour guide, and Ming'er will take you to see the sunrise." ”

Tang Xin hurriedly refused with a smile, "Don't bother, Uncle Ren, let's just go by ourselves, no tour guide." ”

Ren Baoquan continued to say happily, "It's not an outsider, my girl, younger than you, idle at home during the holidays, clamoring to go out to play every day, I don't let you, you come and let her accompany you, show you the way, there is more than one road on Fulan Mountain, there are several paths, you can see different scenery, let her take you to see it is not in vain for you to run this trip." ”

Tang Xin immediately became interested when he heard him say this, "That's great, thank you Uncle Ren." ”

Hehehe, Ren Baoquan looked at her happy appearance and continued, "I'll take you to see the school, your grandfather didn't put a lot of thought into it back then." ”

"Well, good. Tang Xin nodded obediently.

Everyone walked downstream along the stream through Lushengping, and along the way, Ren Baoquan pointed out to her where the village committee was and where was the ancestral hall.

"Look over there," Ren Baoquan pointed to a courtyard deep in the winding path of the path, "that's my house," and then pointed to a small building under a big tree two hundred meters to the right of the courtyard, "There, it's your grandmother's house." ”

Tang Xin hurriedly looked over, and an old small building appeared in front of her, which was where Li Qingze grew up? From seeing the report, she felt uncomfortable and didn't want to call him his father. At this moment, looking at this little building, there are some indescribable complexes in her heart, tugging at her.

"Since Aunt Zhuoer passed away, it has been empty, that year the village was repaired in a unified manner, I called your father, told him that the house was restored, everything was there, asked him if he wanted to come back to see, he told me, waste manpower and material resources to repair it is also empty It is better to tear it down, hehe, my cousin!" After speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

Tang Xin also knew for the first time that his grandmother's name was Zhuoer, what a nice name, he looked at the small building blankly, and unconsciously wanted to go over there, Ren Baoquan looked at her and said, "You want to see it?"

Tang Xin rolled his eyes and asked him, "Is it okay?"

Ren Baoquan thought for a while and said, "It's been a long time since anyone went in, and there may be snakes, insects, rats and ants." ”

Mu Junyao wanted to stop it when he heard him say this, he remembered that Sister Lan said that Tang Xin was afraid of snakes, and it was really hard to say that the mountainous area with a humid environment surrounded by mountains and rivers was uninhabited all year round. Then he looked at her and said gently, "Forget it, it's not a joke to scare you!"

Tang Xin was sullen and insisted, "But I want to see where he lives!"

Mu Junyao looked at the firmness in her eyes and knew that she had a longing in her heart, and she always had love in her heart for her ruthless father, so she compromised, "Then I'll let Ah Lin and them go to see the situation first." ”

Tang Xin's little face smiled, and he was about to agree.

Ren Baoquan paused and said, "In this way, you guys will go again tomorrow, and I will let people clean up first, at least have a place to put their feet, so as not to scare Xiao Tangxin." ”

Mu Junyao put his mind at ease.

Tang Xin smiled sweetly and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Ren." ”

Everyone continued to walk forward, Ren Baoquan hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Tangxin, it may not be right for me to say these words, but we are relatives, and I grew up with Li Qingze, and my uncle is not happy if he doesn't say it." Seeing that Tang Xin looked at him inexplicably, he sighed, "Li Qingze, this guy, has never come back once after leaving the ancient village for more than 20 years, and even your grandmother's funeral was held in the village, and his only son didn't even come back to kowtow." ”

"What?" Tang Xin looked at Ren Baoquan suspiciously, "Grandma's funeral?"
