Section 2 Great Song Farmhouse
Xiaofei and I paused in a dilapidated room, unhurriedly tied the reins, and the horse neighed a few times, as if to say that it was tired for half a night, and now it was finally possible to hold our breath and reorganize our spirits. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it bent down directly, squinting leisurely and squinting its big eyes.
When I got closer, I looked closely at the house, and it was even more dilapidated, with four walls. Now it seems that compared with the poor and white Di Qing family, the Di Qing family is magnificent and much more generous. It was empty, not even a bench, not a table. It seems that Xiaofei is not exaggerating, this is exactly the case, this rural life is really annoying.
"Dad, mother, I'm back-" Xiao Fei shouted a few times, but there was no response for a long time, we went all the way in, but saw a few children in tattered and dirty clothes, ragged like a flower child crawling around on the ground, and two strings of caterpillars were dragging on their gray noses.
"I'm back—" Fei shouted.
"Brother-" an older boy came out from behind with a dark cauldron, "they all went to work in the fields, and told me to make lunch, I just went to live in the back, and I didn't hear any movement." ”
As he spoke, he skillfully put the pot on the ground, it was really a poor man's child who was only 5 or 6 years old, and he could cook.
When I took a closer look, the pot was full of clear water, and there were a handful of white rice floating in the occasional place, like shrimp caught in the sea, mainly rice soup. There are also some black ashes falling on it, which is really miserable and makes people lose their appetite. He quickly fished out some discolored vegetables from the pickle jar in the yard, and for a while the flies moved when they heard the wind, and the black pressure ran out of nowhere.
"Brother, don't worry, they will come in a while. "This kid is a young man. After a while, two black and thin two Great Song peasants came back with empty buckets one after the other, exhausted and sweaty, and they wiped their sweat with their clothes while walking into the house.
"Oh,, when did you come back, I miss your mother," the thin black woman saw Xiaofei and hugged her in her arms.
"Damn, you're back—" The man couldn't hide his joy.
"Wow, there's a young lady here, it's really a long way to go. They hurriedly bowed their hands to me, and hurriedly beckoned me to sit down, but there was no place to rest when they looked around, and finally their eyes stayed on the side of the bed, "Oh, miss, our collapse is a little dirty, where is this country where the eldest lady comes, she then wiped the corner of her dirty clothes on the side of the bed, "Miss, please take a seat," I had to be respectful and obedient, and sat down. Naturally, they have a lot of parents, nothing more than some crops and the like, which family has just given birth to a child, and which family has died.
"Why is this still the case? Didn't Master Zhong give you money?" Xiao Fei asked suspiciously, and I also wondered.
"Where is enough, after paying off the debts of the former owners and westers, there is not much left, and now the agricultural taxes are as many as cattle hairs, and they have to spend money inside and out. There was very little left, and then we had just eaten a few months of fish and meat, and there was very little left, and now we were living poor again," said her mother, sighing.
"Mother, I'll give you this pearl, it's just fake, I don't know if it can't be sold for money, you just go to the market and give it a try." By the way, there's also this money, not much. It's saved by my frugality, so you can take it. Xiao Fei said sensibly.
"Thank you, dog, you are the most promising in the family. In the future, your younger brothers and sisters, as well as our whole family, will depend on you. Oh, your father has no hope, just like that, a farmer, honestly. His dark and thin ancient father listened to it, smiling innocently, and was a wooden man.
Her mother didn't push it, but took it. I also gave them some money with a small amount of money, and the family thanked them a thousand times and smiled plainly.
"Kneel down and thank you. "They actually wanted to kowtow to me and make a big salute, but I hurriedly stopped them.
"Anyway, the food is good, and if you don't eat it, it will be cold, so you can stay and eat." His mother pulled us without saying anything, and everyone sat on the ground, and a few of them ate deliciously, like the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the jade liquid brewed in the jade, which made people feel sad for a while.
They were so gracious that we had to eat with them, and the bowl was full of chips and dirty messes, and I couldn't eat it. There was also a frenzied mass of flies, headless and brainless, trying to get some leftovers. The family was not surprised, and let the flies dance, and even some of the big flies in their green dresses as thin as cicada's wings, dancing ballet on one foot on the edge of the broken bowl, and they ate with relish.
Xiaofei was so hungry that he fainted, but he ate deliciously. I looked at the dirty bowl, although it was an ancient artifact, but I couldn't accept such food, so I had to pretend to take a few bites, and put it down again to my mouth.
"Not to your appetite—" They looked at me motionless in amazement, and the little ones looked greedily at the rice in my bowl, and their saliva fell out.
"No, she's not too hungry, so let's eat. Xiao Fei hurriedly gave the meal to his younger siblings, and their eyebrows fluttered.
It's finally time for this lunch to end, and we're going to take our leave.
"Dog, Miss, you have to be careful all the way, take advantage of the dawn, hurry up on the road, you must be careful and safe on the road, you can take these pickles with you, and my mother has nothing good for you." As he spoke, he thanked us for sending us out of the gate.
I choked up and couldn't speak, "I didn't expect that Chinese farmers have been so simple and industrious since ancient times." They live in such a dilapidated house, but they have no regrets about paying for us city people. What do we eat and drink without them. In fact, if you look back at history, many people with more than 3 generations may be farmers, but many of them later forgot their roots, thinking that they were city people, looking down on their tattered and disgraced appearance, and looking down on them for not being able to keep pace with the times. Because they don't know what an ultrabook is, they don't know what ** is, what Louis Vuitton is, they only know how to plant rice and plant the land, work without regrets, provide us with a steady stream of food, they have no status, they don't have money, and even the songs that sing their praises are pitiful. ”
Xiaofei also said with emotion: "Yes, in modern society, more and more young people have left the countryside and left home, even if they leave their hometowns to work in other places, they feel that they have a future, and only some old people are left in the countryside and are still working hard." If there is no one in the farmland, what will we, the city people, eat in the future? In fact, they are the most amiable and respectable people. ”
I am righteous and awe-inspiring, and I said solemnly: "In today's society, some people feel superior to others when they are rich, and they look down on others. There is also a bad atmosphere, this industry looks down on that industry, and those in suits and leather shoes look down on the grizzled. In fact, everyone is equal, and we are all passing guests in the universe. No one has the capital to look down on this and that, every hard-working person is worthy of respect, they are an indispensable link in our social process, I think this kind of atmosphere is very bad. ”
Xiao Fei smiled and said: "Yes, many people now look down on our thief industry, in fact, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the best." ”
I hurriedly said, "You are a different matter, you steal chickens and dogs for nothing, that is your own cause, you do not belong to the legitimate industry, you do not belong to one of the professions." But it's a good thing you've changed your mind, otherwise I wouldn't be with you. ”
As we talked, we rode tall horses and bathed in the June summer breeze. Let the black hair fly in the air, and let the different moods rise and fall in the scenery that flies by.
