Chapter 155: The Excitement of the Little Mountain Village
The tranquil village of Shanghe is a small mountain village in the southeastern mountains, with a total population of just over 600 people. The mountains and valleys are high, the traffic is very inconvenient, and the only access to the outside world is a dirt road built for them by mobilizing several nearby villages during the large-scale production period decades ago. Because it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it belongs to the southeast coast, there is a lot of rain, and the geological disasters that come with it are very ordinary. What flash floods and mudslides are even more commonplace, destroying the only access to this end several times. Because the roads are so bad, there is no transportation in the small mountain village except bicycles, oh, forgot, there are a few donkey carts, but the villagers still use bicycles more. But it can only be used for half the time, more often it is carried or pushed, and over time people stop riding and go in and out on foot.
In front of a house with about three brick houses in Shanghe Village, there is a small cement drying platform, which is used by rural people to dry grain. But now there was no food on it, but on the contrary there were a few chairs on it, on which sat a few peasant women, who were leisurely enjoying the shade of the trees and doing some needlework.
One of the young peasant women smiled at a peasant woman in her fifties next to her: "Bingzi Niang, it's better for you to have a good house, and there is such a clean sundeck where we can enjoy the shade." β
"Daughter-in-law of the Xu family, if you are envious, go back and ask your man to build one for your family. A slightly older peasant woman next to her teased.
"Forget it, although it doesn't cost much, but this cement is difficult to transport, there are dozens of miles of mountain roads from here to the town, and this car can't go in, and I don't know if I rely on my family's mouth to transport it. The peasant woman named the daughter-in-law of the Xu family was a little depressed.
"But no, I remember that just building these tiled houses and this sundeck made the soldier's father and the soldier run back and forth with materials on their backs for many months. The peasant woman on the side replied.
The peasant woman named Bingzi Niang laughed when she heard this, but anyone could see that this smile contained a happy metaphor: "I told them not to bother with this effort. But they didn't listen, and they had to build this. β
"The two of you feel sorry for you, and the soldier is blessed. The peasant woman on the side said enviously.
"Hehe, Bingzi Niang, Bingzi is almost 25 this year, it's time to talk about someone. This peasant woman named the daughter-in-law of the Xu family asked.
Hearing this, Bingzi Niang sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't." But in our ravine, the road is impassable, whose daughter-in-law can see us. β
"Alas, who said no, there are several people in our village who are still singles because of this matter. Soldier's mother, you have to hurry. The peasant woman on the side said.
Bingzi Niang smiled at everyone and said: "You all know the situation of Bingzi, you are loyal, honest and filial, if any of you has the right one, you have to introduce it." β
"Definitely. Certain. Just when everyone agreed, a peasant woman on the side suddenly said: "Daughter-in-law of the Xu family, I remember that you have a cousin who is 22 years old this year, do you want to introduce it to the soldiers." β
"Oh," Bingziniang's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.
The daughter-in-law of the Xu family said with a somewhat ugly face: "Soldier's mother, it is said that your family's soldiers are in good condition." But you also know that we don't have a lot of transportation. That girl will marry us. β
Bingziniang bowed her head and stopped talking after hearing this, she knew that the daughter-in-law of the Xu family was telling the truth. The conditions of his own soldiers are good, but why do they live in this mountain nest with inconvenient transportation? The soldier stopped talking, and the other peasant women didn't dare to speak, and the scene was silent for a while.
Huzzγγγ suddenlyγγγ a sound interrupted the silence of the mountain village. The peasant women present heard the sound and began to look for the source of the sound.
Suddenly, a peasant woman pointed to the motorcycle and shouted, "Look at the motorcycle there?"
"Yo. Isn't that a soldier, and it's the soldier's father sitting in the back. Another peasant woman replied.
"Didn't Bingzi's father and Bingzi go to the town to sell pigs, and how did they come back on someone's motorcycle? The daughter-in-law of the Xu family wondered.
Saying that, the motorcycle drove in front of them, and the soldiers got off the motorcycle and walked happily to everyone and shouted, "Mother, I'm back." β
"Soldiers. Why did you come back on a motorcycle, and whose is it? Bingziniang hurriedly asked.
"Mother, this is what we just bought. "The soldier is honest.
Bingziniang turned her head to look at Bingzi's father, and when she saw him nodding, she said hurriedly with tears in her eyes: "Why did you buy a motorcycle, and the money is for your daughter-in-law." β
"Mother, this car is not expensive, my father and I saw that many people rushed to buy it, so we followed suit. Bingzi comforted.
"What's not expensive, just the car of our village chief's family costs three or four thousand, why do you say that you are such a loser, and spend the money I saved for your daughter-in-law with my hard work to raise pigs. The more Bingzi Niang spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but hit Bingzi.
And there were more and more people watching the excitement around, and when they saw this, they all started to discuss: "Why is the soldier so stupid, that is the money that his mother saved for him to marry his daughter-in-law." "But no, his motorcycle looks even better than our village chief's, I'm afraid it will cost four or five thousand, I'm afraid it's a ruin to her mother's money for raising pigs all these years." "No, his father is also with him, so he shouldn't be so impulsive. β
Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Bingzi's father frowned and shouted, "Okay, I asked Bingzi to buy this car." Don't blame him, this car is not expensive at all, it is less than 1900 yuan in total. β
"You won't lie to me, will you? Our village chief's car costs more than 3,000 acquaintances. Bingzi Niang didn't believe it.
"Mother, it's true, you see this is an invoice, it's written on it. The soldier took out the invoice and showed it to his mother.
Although his mother hadn't read any books, she still knew the numbers, and she looked at them carefully and found that it was really 1,850 yuan. So he smiled and said, "It's really more than 1,800 fast, my son didn't lie to me." β
"It's really a thousand eight, so cheap. "Yes, why is it so cheap, more than a thousand cheaper than the village chiefs. "It's so cheap, I don't know how the quality is, don't buy a parallel product and lose a lot." β
Hearing this, Bingziniang looked at Bingzi, Bingzi knew what she was going to ask, so she took the initiative to speak: "The quality is good, just the few uphill ones we came back, I didn't even add gears, and I went to the top of the mountain directly with one throttle, and I still took my father with me." β
"It's so, it won't be bragging. Last time, I saw that the village chief couldn't get in the car, and asked his daughter-in-law to get down and walk a few steps. A male villager chimed in.
"You see when my soldier has told a lie, don't believe you ask my father. The soldier said anxiously.
After getting the nod of this honest soldier's father, several hot-eyed male villagers began to surround the soldier to inquire about the news. And the daughter-in-law of the Xu family on the side had an idea, walked up to the soldier who was smiling and touching the motorcycle, and flattered: "That aunt, do you see if the matter between the soldier and my cousin is γγγγγγ?"
Bingziniang looked back at the daughter-in-law of the Xu family who was flattering on the side and smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, our soldiers are only twenty-five, don't worry." (To be continued......)
