Zhangjiayao Town belongs to a town in Zhangluan Township, Shaanzhou County, Sanmen City, prosperous can not be talked about, but it is not poor, it can only be said that it is general, the town area is close to 300 square kilometers, the town center is not big, it is not more than three kilometers long, it is not two kilometers wide, it is 9.5 kilometers away from the county seat, 25.4 kilometers from the city center, there are highways that can be driven directly, it is also convenient. Listening to its name, it is also known that the surname Zhang occupies a dominant position in this place, and almost half of the town's more than 40,000 people are surnamed Zhang. Zhangjiayao Town has 41 village committees, more than 300 villager groups, adjacent to Ganshan National Forest Park and its own Yuzhou Dikeng Courtyard two major tourism resources, the town under the jurisdiction of the ditch village of "Henan West paper-cutting" has been praised by the National Folk Literature and Art Association as "the first village of Chinese paper-cutting". With these resources, this town of more than 40,000 people will not be impoverished.

Zhang Wei's home is in the family courtyard of the town middle school, which is the old house assigned by Zhang Wei's mother's school, with a construction area of only more than 60 square meters, a usable area of only 57 square meters, two bedrooms and a living room, and the living room is quite large, but the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are a little small, five people live a little tight, parents live in one, Xu Yanan and Sakura live in Zhang Wei's original room, Zhang Wei can only be on the sofa. But this is nothing, Zhang Wei once heard Li Zhiwen in the dormitory say that in the magic capital, some people of six or seven people in the same house also live in the husband's house of twenty or thirty square meters, so compared with it, nearly sixty square meters to live five people is enough to be spacious.

When I arrived at Zhang Wei's house, Zhang Wei's parents began to clean, which should have been done by Xiao Nian, but because I went to support Zhang Wei, it was delayed, and now I came back, naturally I had to do a good job of sanitation as soon as possible.

Zhang Wei was as good as a stream, so he took his second daughter out of the door.

The pit courtyard is called "earth kiln" in Zhang Wei's hometown, and the name of the nice point is also called "Tianjing kiln courtyard", this kind of building is actually a large pit dug out of the solid ground to form a boxy patio, and then dig a cave in the patio to live in the building. Although this kind of building looks primitive, it has the advantage of being warm in winter and cool in summer. In the summer, the temperature outside is more than 30 degrees, but living in it is more than 20 degrees, and at night the temperature is even lower, and you need to cover the quilt. In winter, the cold wind is howling, the snow is falling, the temperature inside is still more than 20 degrees, there is no cold and discomfort in the house, if you have to say a bad thing, that is, the lighting is very problematic, the backlit cave is very dark during the day, you need to turn on the lights.

The history of the pit courtyard can be traced back to 6,000 years ago, after the Yangshao cultural site was discovered, there are pit courtyard-style buildings. The farthest existing pit courtyard building, which dates back more than 200 years, is up to the standard of cultural relics. This kind of building is a kind of building with local characteristics created according to the local climatic conditions, especially the drought and lack of rain and soil conditions, which fully embodies the superb wisdom of human beings to use environmental characteristics to create livable buildings, and also creates a wonderful underground village scene of "entering the village without seeing the house, hearing the sound and not seeing the people".

Zhang Wei also lived in such a building when he was young, so he didn't think there was anything strange about it, but the pit courtyard became a very rare scene in the eyes of Xu Yanan and Yingzi, and he was very surprised, very interested, and wanted to go into the courtyard to see.

Looking at the two beauties with little stars in their eyes, Zhang Wei was a little difficult, he went to the county high school to study when he was in high school, and then went to Yanjing to study, even if he came back every year, it was the New Year and summer vacation, and he rarely came to the village to deal with people.

Just as Zhang Wei was thinking about what to do, a voice suddenly came from a distance, "How do you look like SEI?"

Hearing the local dialect, Zhang Wei followed the sound and saw a young man riding an electric car parked aside, looking at the three of them vigilantly.

Zhang Wei smiled and said in local dialect: "I just seem to be here, bringing my buddies to play." ”

As soon as the young man heard Zhang Wei speak, he smiled honestly, didn't say anything, and rode away on an electric car.

"Zhang Wei, did you just speak the local dialect? What do you mean?" Xu Yanan didn't understand the conversation between Zhang Wei and the young man.

Zhang Wei said: "Just now that buddy asked us who we were and what we were doing here." I replied that I was a local, and I brought you here to play. ”

"Your words are so strange in this place, I don't understand them at all. ”

"A dialect in a place, this is not strange, in our hometown, the accent between villages is different, don't talk about you, sometimes I am confused, for example, we speak Shaanxi County dialect here, and then go west, Lingbao dialect and our accent here is different. ”

Xu Yanan nodded.

While the two were talking, the guy riding an electric car came back and asked Zhang Wei, "Are you from the city?" (The dialect mainly lies in pronunciation, which is difficult to express in words, so it will not be used in the future.) ）

Zhang Wei said: "I am from Zhangjiayao Town, and my two friends are outsiders, and they have never seen our pit courtyard here, so take them to take a look." ”

"Oh, then you see. ”

After that, the young man was about to leave again, Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong with you?"

The young man said, "I thought you came from the city to buy eggs." ”

"Eggs? Are you buying stupid eggs?"

"Aang. ”

"Yes, I can buy some eggs, just to go home for the New Year, how can I sell them?"

"You are from our town, and I won't ask you more, six yuan a catty. ”

"Okay, where's the egg?"

"At home, you can go with me and get it. ”

"Is your house in a pit?"

"Aang. ”

"Let's go, I'm worried that I can't go down and have a look. ”

Zhang Wei and the young man's conversation Xu Yanan and Sakurako didn't understand, but seeing Zhang Wei follow the young man with a happy face, the second daughter followed behind Zhang Wei in confusion. After a short walk, he came to a downhill with a turn, the young man pinched the brakes and went down first, Zhang Wei followed closely with his two daughters, passed a wooden door, and the three of them came to a pit courtyard. This small courtyard is not big, and it is not as clean and tidy as advertised on TV, and the yard is cleaned up to the point where the young man takes out a basket of eggs from a room and returns to the yard.

"How much do you want?" the young man asked Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei looked at a basket of eggs and asked, "How many do you have?"

The young man took a scale, weighed it, and said, "This is eleven catties, take the frame away, count ten catties." ”

"I want it, how much does your box cost?" Zhang Wei took out his wallet.

"The box is worthless, it's all made up by yourself, and I'll give it to you if you want it. "The guy is very simple.

Zhang Wei opened his wallet and found that it was all one hundred, so he took out one and handed it to the young man, and said, "Just one, let's take a look in your courtyard and take some photos, it doesn't matter." ”

"It's okay, you can shoot casually, if you want to go into the house to see, there is no one at home, they all go to the market. The young man was a little embarrassed to take the money, and he was very generous to Zhang Wei's request.

The young man took it and pushed the electric car to the side of the wall to charge, and Zhang Wei took his second daughter to turn around in this pit courtyard, in fact, the pit courtyard that really lived in the house was not very big, just those few rooms, among which the side by the entrance had to open a hole without a door edge, which was used as a kitchen. However, Xu Yanan and Sakura are obviously very novel, after getting the consent of the young man, they also found a room to go in and take a look, especially Xu Yanan is full of freshness about everything here, and keeps asking this and that, Sakura is obviously very curious, but she didn't ask anything, identity is something engraved in her soul, it may be difficult to erase, as a servant, how can she ask the master about it.

After staying in this small courtyard for half an hour, Xu Yanan's curiosity was finally satisfied, and the three of them said goodbye to the young man and left here with a basket of eggs.

On the way back, Xu Yanan was in a very good mood and said to Zhang Wei: "No wonder people say, 'It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles'. ”

"Haha, in fact, there are quite a lot of such buildings in the north, haven't you watched those movies and TV series during the Anti-Japanese War? Even many great men have lived in caves, which is very common in the north. Zhang Wei came out to feel the kiln again, and the mood was also very good.

Xu Yanan said: "I know about the cave, but I haven't seen it built underground." Zhang Wei, is there any other interesting place in your hometown?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them, behind our house is Ganshan National Forest Park, known as the natural oxygen bar in western Henan, and there is Hangu Pass to the west, where Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching, the idiom "Purple Qi from the East" has heard it, and it comes from Hangu Pass. There is also Yawu Mountain not far from Hangu Pass, it is said that it is the place where Emperor Zhenwu became a monk, I went there when I was a child, and there is a stone on the mountain called the Demon Mirror, which is very interesting. We also have Yangshao cultural sites to the east, and there are also Che Ma Pit and Qiu Guo Museum in the city, by the way, now in this season, you can go to the Swan Lake in the city to see the swans. Zhang Wei began to introduce some of the attractions in his hometown.

"Swans!? Really, there are swans in your hometown?"

"Don't you know that Sanmen City is also called the City of Swans? Every year, hundreds of whooper swans fly here from Siberia to spend the winter, and I remember the most thousand of them coming at a time. ”

"Zhang Wei, can I go to see the swans now?" Xu Yanan looked excited.

Zhang Wei looked at his watch and said, "Forget it today, it's a little late, if you want to see it, I'll take you to the scenic spots in the city early tomorrow morning to see, and by the way, I will take you around the city, and you can eat some of our local snacks." ”

"Great!" Xu Yanan clapped her hands and applauded, looking happy.

When he got home in the afternoon, Zhang Wei handed over the eggs to his mother, and then discussed with his mother to go to the scenic spot tomorrow to play, Li Juan lived here, and had seen enough of the scenery in his hometown, so he asked Zhang Wei to take the two girls to go, and she and Zhang's father went to the market tomorrow to buy some New Year's goods.
