From the direction where I was standing, about two meters in front of the house, there were two logs on the left and right, and a wire was pulled, and a few pieces of clothing were hung on it, which seemed to be worn by the elderly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even this simple scene is strange to me, because when I walk past the front of the house, I can't see the doors and windows, and the view is blocked by clothes, which is a bit like the shadow wall at the door of those big families in ancient times.

However, I really haven't seen this kind of "shadow wall" of Gu Xinjia's house.

On the right side of the house, there is a large pile of large stones similar to pebbles, all of which are about the same size, the small ones are like rugbyballs, and the larger ones are almost the size of basketballs.

At the moment, the doors and windows are closed. A few wisps of light smoke were rising from the chimney above the door, and it was estimated that Bride Gu was preparing dinner.

Looking at all this, I wondered in my heart again: aren't you afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning?

Before he reached the door, Gu Xin began to shout loudly: "Mother, I'm back!"

According to Gu Xin's own account, when he was ten years old, the quarry where his father worked had an accident, and then he lost his father.

Gu Xin's father was born in his later years, and he only had Gu Xin when he was nearly fifty years old, but he left the pair of orphans and widows before Gu Xin grew up, so now his wife is left alone in his family.

After a while, just listening to a squeak, an old woman poked her head out of the crack that only opened the small half door, and saw Gu Xin at a glance, and was very surprised: "Dog, why did you come back so soon?"

In a blink of an eye, the old man squeezed out of the door, as if there was something unsightly at home, "And brought friends?"

As soon as I heard it, I secretly felt funny, Gu Xin had such a local name! At the same time, I felt a little strange in my heart, this old lady was not speaking the local dialect or local dialect as I imagined, but actually Mandarin.

Of course, Gu Xin is the same, since our previous communication has always been in Mandarin, so I didn't feel surprised at once.

The reason why it was unexpected was because this old lady in the countryside who didn't seem to have been out of the house much actually spoke Mandarin, and she couldn't hear the accent of any place she belonged to!?

As we all know, in addition to the announcers of the official media, people everywhere speak Mandarin with a more or less local accent, but I really didn't hear what this old lady said.

"Mother, this is the eldest brother who helped me last time I came back. Gu Xin looked embarrassed, probably because of his nickname.

"Hello, auntie!" I quickly laughed.

Gu bride is about seventy years old, her face is very haggard, it is caused by malnutrition and illness at first glance, her face is very pale, a blue floral headscarf covers the head full of silver threads, her hair is a little messy, her face is full of folds, her eyes are still a little god, not tall, about one meter five or six, she is wearing a gray cloth coat on her upper body, a pair of dark black pants on her lower body, and an apron with the same color as a headscarf is tied around her waist.

But when she opened her mouth, a row of neat and white teeth was revealed, and I was a little surprised that the old man's teeth were still so neat, as if they had not fallen out at all.

Seeing Gu Xin's introduction, the old man quickly grabbed my hand: "Child, thank you so much!"

"You're really a noble dog. The old man's hands shook a little.

"Auntie, you're welcome. Please don't care!" I rarely deal with strange old ladies, and as soon as I open my mouth, I become a civilized language.

The old lady was stunned for a while, and it took a while to understand that I was saying kind words, and I guess I didn't expect me to dump the text. Quickly exchanged a few more polite words, and hurriedly let me into the house.

In terms of time, although it is almost evening, the sky is still very bright, after all, the time difference effect here is already obvious.

Before I even entered the door, I felt that it was very dark in the room, and it took me a few minutes to get used to it.

As soon as I entered the house, Bride Gu quickly found a stool and invited me to sit down, then walked to the table and poured me a cup of ma-milk. Rubbing his apron with both hands, he smiled and said, "Don't see the distinguished guests, the people in the countryside are not as good as the city." ”

Then, when he turned around, he greeted Gu Xin: "Dog baby, you go to the uncle's house in the village to get something and come back, and you will say that you have a distinguished guest at home." Then he came back to greet me.

Gu Xin agreed, let me rest at home for a while, turned around and went out.

After a few small talks, the old lady was busy preparing dinner.

This old lady gives me the feeling now, although she is very old, she speaks quite clearly, unlike ordinary rural old ladies, and her back is not bent, her hands and feet are still sharp, and she can't tell that she is a sick old man at all!

This surprised me a little.

It's not that I doubt Gu Xin, but this old lady's state is indeed different from that of ordinary patients. But when I think about it, I feel that I am indeed a little nervous, and now when I don't care about this, even if I have any thoughts, I can only hold it back first.

While the old lady was busy, I glanced at the furnishings in the room by the dim light.

The room is divided into two parts, and the floor is flat.

The outer room was a place to entertain guests, and there was a large window on the right side of the wall facing the door, and several of the windows were broken, and there were no curtains or anything like that. You can clearly see the gentle slope section of the house that has been manually leveled at the back, and it seems to be less than 50 centimeters from the window, so I think that this window is mainly used for ventilation and has no function of lighting.

Because of this, the room is particularly dark.

In the middle of the room was a four-legged wooden table, four benches, a large pot on the table, and several cups.

There are some miscellaneous items piled up inside, daily necessities are placed on the right side of the room, and on the side of the window, that is, on the right side of the door, there is a stove, and an iron pipe winds down from the top of the doorway until the top of the stove, looking at the form of the stove, it should be the kind that can burn wood, coal or horse manure.

In the corner of the wall on the left side of the barrier is a handful of something similar to a gun and a large pile of unknown stones of various shapes, I don't know what they are used for.

Judging from the decorations, there is no shadow of Kazakh life and customs, although I don't care about it in my heart, but I always feel a little weird: according to Gu Xin's statement, his parents lived here before he was born, and decades have passed, and they have not been affected by Kazakh folk customs at all.

The back room is blocked by a cloth curtain, which is considered a door. Through the gap in the curtain, I faintly saw that there was something similar to a kang inside, which should be a resting room. Since I was a newcomer, I was too embarrassed to lift the curtain to see.

On the whole, there is no Kazakh atmosphere, but a bit of northern Shaanxi style.

Seeing that it was not too dark, I walked out the door and took a spin, smoked a few more cigarettes, and felt bored, so I went back.
