Chapter 837: The whole village eats together
"Stop!"
When the car drove to the entrance of Xiaodong Village, Li Zhongzhi, who was sitting in the back, suddenly shouted.
Chirping!
Li Dong braked suddenly, parked the car on the side of the road, and then hurriedly looked back at his father in the back row and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
What's going on? Bumped into someone?
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I drove all the way over, but I didn't see a few people on the road.
Li Dong glanced twice in the rearview mirror and didn't see anyone fall to the ground.
Li Zhongzhi stared intently ahead, and after a while, he pointed out the window with his finger, and asked in a stammering voice, "Then, is that Xiaodong Village?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Son, what are you lying to me?" Li Zhongzhi swallowed a mouthful of spit, then looked at Li Dong and said, "Your father and I haven't been to Xiaodong Village, I used to go to Qingyun Mountain to collect medicine, and I used to go up the mountain from Xiaodong Village, where it was tattered, and the houses were either leaking rain or ventilating, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the poorest village in the county, how could it be here?"
In front of me, in the white snow, neat houses are arranged at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, white walls, gray bricks and tiles, and trees hanging with snow complement each other, the village and the outside are shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, wrapped in silver, full of charm, you know, this is Xiaodong Village, I don't know I thought I had arrived in Jiangnan Snow Town.
"yes. Wang Hongyan also nodded and said, "I have also been to Xiaodong Village, it's not like this, but, the child's father, the mountain behind it seems to be Qingyun Mountain." ”
When Li Dong heard his parents' words, he laughed directly, pointed to the village in front of him and said, "Dad, Mom, the village in front is Xiaodong Village, that's right." This year, no, it should be last year, I planned Xiaodong Village from the new, demolished all the original old houses, and built such a tourist resort to improve the backward situation of the village, as well as the life of the villagers, because it is backed by Qingyun Mountain, there is a river at the edge of the village, the natural environment is very good, and the road is built, so there are a lot of people who come here to travel, but it is estimated that there are no tourists at this time, and it is the peak season in autumn. ”
"Tourist resort? No wonder it's different from other villages. Li Zhongzhi muttered.
On the way here, I also passed through some villages, and there are newly built houses in the village, but there are no neat ones like Xiaodong Village, and the architectural style of these houses in Xiaodong Village is biased towards the Jiangnan area, rather than the local traditional red bricks and red tiles, which are better inlaid with tiles.
Click!
Li Zhongzhi opened the car door, turned back to Li Dong and said, "I'll go down and take a walk." "Such a great view, such a good air, sitting in the car, what a waste.
"I'll go down too!" Wang Hongyan also got out of the car and came to her husband's side, and the two walked towards the village together.
Li Dong drove slowly behind, passed the time of the parking lot, put the car there, and then followed behind his parents.
As Li Dong thought, there are no tourists in Xiaodong Village, and those who come here to play are generally short-distance trips, and their families live in Qingzhou or nearby cities.
People in the village get up very early, there is white smoke on the chimneys of some houses, there are no tourists, the villagers have their own entertainment activities, play poker, rub a mahjong, life is good, entertainment of course has to keep up, of course, the play is not big, a piece of two, just for fun, no one expects to make a lot of money on this.
The children were all outside, building snowmen, having snowball fights, setting off firecrackers, chasing each other, and full of laughter.
"Uncle Li, Happy New Year!" A group of children ran over, and when they saw Li Dong, they immediately stopped, bowed and greeted Li Dong, and their frozen red faces were filled with happy smiles.
"Happy New Year. Li Dong said with a smile, then took out some chocolates from his pocket and handed them to the children, "Let's play." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Li!" the children took the chocolate, thanked them, and ran away with a smile.
Li Dong and his parents continued to walk, but after walking a few steps, they heard someone calling him again.
"Boss Li, Happy New Year. A middle-aged woman ran over from a long distance, "Boss Li, Happy New Year, I will see you as soon as I go out on the first day of the new year, this is my blessing." ”
"Haha, Sister Liu, you are really good at speaking, if everyone who sees me is blessed, then I am willing to let people all over the country come to see me. Li Dong said that the other party is the women's director of Xiaodong Village and is more familiar.
Perhaps hearing the shouts of middle-aged women, the villagers living on the side of the street ran out of their homes.
"Boss Li, Happy New Year!"
"Why are you still here, we should go to pay you New Year's greetings. ”
"Have you eaten, come to my house to eat dumplings. ”
"Your dumplings are not delicious, go to my house, my dumplings are delicious!"
“……”
Soon, Li Dong was surrounded by villagers.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" Li Dong kept responding, and then explained, "Actually, today I am mainly to accompany my parents to go around, nothing else." ”
"Huh, this is Boss Li, your parents?"
When the villagers heard Li Dong's words, they became even more enthusiastic.
"Big brother, big sister, you have raised a good son, if it weren't for Boss Li, there would be no happy life we have now, I thank you. ”
"It's your first time coming to our Xiaodong Village, I'll show you around. ”
"It's cold outside, so get home and drink something hot. ”
Li Zhongzhi and Wang Hongyan were frightened by the enthusiasm of the villagers, but everyone's faces were full of sincerity, which was a heartfelt invitation.
"All pull aside!" At this time, Qian Youcai stood up and separated the villagers from Li Dong's family, "What are you doing, what are you doing, are you so invited?" I am the village chief of Xiaodong Village, my name is Qian Youcai, I am really embarrassed just now, mainly because everyone is so grateful to Boss Li, and I don't know how to reciprocate, the two of you are the first time to come to our Xiaodong Village, you are Boss Li's parents, so we are not outsiders, this time is not early, the two of you go around the village, and then how about having a meal together at noon?"
"This, Village Chief Qian, our family understands your intentions, but it's just ......" Li Zhongzhi didn't know what to say, so he turned his head to look at his son on the side.
"Boss Li!" Qian Youcai said, "You haven't had a meal in our village all year round, today you have time, and you still bring your parents, you must stay, otherwise the old and young masters of the whole village will go to your house in the county together in the evening to invite you." ”
Li Dong thought about it, after the re-planning of Xiaodong Village, there are indeed many places worth seeing, if you go to the resort hotel now, it is really urgent, anyway, you have to rest for a week, and there is a lot of time, and it is not bad at noon, so he said to Qian Youcai, "Okay, at noon today, my parents and I will stay here for dinner." ”
"Good!"
Hearing Li Dong's answer, Qian Youcai and everyone in the village became happy.
"Did you hear everything?" Qian Youcai shouted at the villagers as he turned around.
"I hear you!" replied loudly from the villagers.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry home and prepare. Qian Youcai said loudly, "Do you remember the long table banquet on the National Day? It was served for me at noon, and the family cooked two dishes, and the whole village ate with Boss Li's family at noon." ”
"Good!"
