Next Chapter

In the south of the Yangtze River, there is a place rich in tea, and the mountain city is famous for the development of tea, and it is commonly known and praised: tea capital.

The tea capital is located on both sides of the Zijiang River, surrounded by green hills, beautiful scenery, spacious streets, busy traffic, and high-rise buildings stand on the edge of the river.

The Zijiang River stretches for hundreds of kilometers, flows into the Yangtze River, and flows into the sea. On the banks of its branches, there is a landscape village called Tianyun Village. It is located on the high mountain at the southern foot of Xuefeng Mountain, and people here can see the boundless sea of clouds when they get up in the morning. It has been called Tianyun Village since ancient times, and it has a long history, from the first few ancient families to one hundred and twenty families today. Most of the people here have the surname Zhuo, which is passed down from their ancestors.

Tianyun Village's economy has been dependent on tea for generations.

After 2010, under the poverty alleviation policy, Tianyun Village was relocated from the top of the mountain to the big river at the foot of the mountain.

If you want to get rich first, the newly paved highway has revitalized the tea economy of Tianyun Village.

The seventh day of the first month.

Family music, reunion for the Spring Festival.

Beaming with joy, drinking and eating together with family joy.

There was a farmhouse on the riverside road in Tianyun Village, and there was a crackling sound from the new building.

A table of chicken, fish, and good dishes were all poured on the tile floor, pots and pans were broken and scattered on the ground, and fish soup was spread all over the table. A big black dog, a female, and a big yellow dog, a male, the two of them scrambled to eat the delicious food on the ground. This time the owner was too generous, and the two big dogs couldn't finish eating.

Choking smoke and dust erupted from the uncle's mouth, and he frowned, smoking a dry cigarette again and again. Homemade cigarettes, the taste is strong and choking. From time to time, resentful eyes looked at the front of the house, a son who sat on the floor of the steps. He was depressed and didn't know what was going on in his head?

My son Zhuo Yifan couldn't get a good white-collar job in Shanghai, so he said that he wanted to go back to the countryside for development. A 24-year-old man who graduated from Beiqing University gave up his future. In this way, he will become a waste that others look down on, how can our family's face be put down in front of their relatives in the township?

He's a first-class talent. The company's leaders and colleagues valued him very much, and they heard him say that he would soon be promoted to team leader. He has a great future, and now I don't know which nerve he has broken?

Now, he said a word, and I was angry, irritable, and smoky on the top of my head. In a fit of rage, he kicked his thighs and overturned the entire round table with both hands. None of us want to eat. Lao Tzu was angry, and he couldn't slap him down and beat him to death.

"Are you really, what kind of table are you lifting?" Liu Yutian's face was full of anger, holding a broom in one hand and a shovel in the other hand to reproach the man sitting on the sofa in the hall.

Seeing that she was annoyed, she took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a long white smoke from her nostrils, and rubbed her forehead with her big fingers, indicating that she had a severe headache.

"Go! Kuroko, Huangzi go away. Liu Yutian took a broom to drive two big dogs, and raised a broom to beat them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two big dogs ran out of the hall on all fours, hiding far away and not daring to come back for a while.

Sweep away all the food under the table in a few clicks, leaving a pile of oil and water that needs to be wiped with a mop to clean it. Liu Yutian took out the garbage, took a mop and passed by his son, and glanced at him a few times. The fire in his stomach is the same as that of a man, hiding a big fire in his belly, and he can't wait to beat him up. He's a big young man now, and face is more important than anything else.

"Hey, Zhuo Yifan, go and talk to your dad, and go to work tomorrow. If you don't like it, you can find another job. What do you have to do in the mountains?" Liu Yutian still couldn't help but pat his son's head and said in an unceremonious tone.

"Don't be stubborn!" Liu Yutian took a step away, turning back and warning repeatedly.

"Mom, Dad, don't persuade me. I know how to do my business, and just because I come back to develop doesn't mean I don't have a future in the future. Do you want to believe me?" Zhuo Yifan was even more aggrieved, angry that his parents couldn't understand a little of their son's mood and thoughts.

"You still say!" his father, Zhuo Yangfei, rushed out of the house, grabbed a bench and raised it to scare him.

"Zhuo Yang!" Liu Yutian dropped the mop and ran out, grabbed his arms tightly with both hands, and called him loudly, "Zhuo Yang! It's the New Year! What are you fighting? ”

Mom is ruthless enough, such words can be said, Zhuo Yifan frowned with suffering, and when he saw his mother's tears coming out, he wanted to stop. During the Chinese New Year, how bad it was for our family to be seen by others here. However, as far as the eye can see, there are not many families in sight. Even if no one hears it, but the mountains and rivers here, the flowers, birds, insects and fish are smelled, anyway, the quarrel is faceless, which hurts the body and the heart, and hurts the feelings, it is still the feelings of the family. This made my mother cry, and her body sobbed very much.

Zhuo Yang was angry and slammed onto the bench.

With a "snap", the bench broke a foot.

Zhuo Yang went back to the house and went upstairs angrily.

Suddenly, from the top of the second floor, there was the sound of Zhuo Yang kicking the door.

Liu Yutian didn't have time to cry, so he hurriedly ran up to the second floor, not understanding what the man was doing in Zhuo Yifan's room?

Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, Zhuo Yifan took a few steps back, came to the cement floor in front of the house, and looked up at his room on the second floor. I was trembling, not because I was afraid, but because my father was going to break with me. Mom and Dad forced me to go to work tomorrow.

Zhuo Yifan blocked his breath and was silent. My idea was not formed in a day or two, but after a long night, a long time of thinking about the decision, and even abandoned my girlfriend in Shanghai. I'm also heartbroken.

I resigned and came back for the New Year, and began to do ideological work to my parents one by one. They didn't have anything before, they talked and laughed, and they always obeyed me. I also took the opportunity to express some thoughts. My parents agreed, and I was introduced to me that the tea I made was absolutely natural, and I didn't use a pound of chemical fertilizer, let alone a drop of pesticides. Last year, the tip of the spring buds was sold for 120 yuan, and the two of us went to the mountain to pick tea and sold it for 1,200 yuan a day. It was a coincidence that day, just ten catties of tea, 1,200 yuan. Mom said that her saliva was falling out. This is to go to the mountains and pick up money directly.

I told my parents that I went home to start a business to make tea, and told our family not to sell it in the future, but to make it myself. A pound of top-quality green tea can be sold for 1,000 yuan a pound, which is still a conservative estimate.

When chatting at that time, Zhuo Yifan chatted with his parents to the heart. But after the first day of the Lunar New Year, when I said that I would no longer go to work, my father and mother immediately changed their minds. Well, today, and the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, work has begun.

At dinner this morning, Zhuo Yifan once again proposed not to go to work in Shanghai, and decided to learn to make tea at home. So Dad flipped the table angrily, and everyone didn't finish a bowl of rice.

"Hey, Zhuo Yang, don't make trouble!"

"He didn't obey, just all at once. ”

"It's good to open it when you think about it. ”

Liu Yutian supported the man from upstairs to downstairs, and only held the man outside the house. It wasn't holding it up at all, but Zhuo Yang stopped. With his brute strength, ten women couldn't stop him. He was a well-known big man in the village, and his strength was amazing. I heard that when I was young, I carried a hundred pounds of burden, and I carried it from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain in one go.

With a flick of his hands, Zhuo Yang threw the two big code suitcases on the cement floor. They fell apart and threw the contents out. It's so good-looking, I'm really going to kick my son out of the house.

"You!" Liu Yutian burst into tears, pushed the man hard, and immediately ran over to pick up his son's valuables and his clothes.

Zhuo Yifan watched coldly, looking at everything his father had done, and couldn't calm down, but there was still a thought in his mind, that is, if I put the knife on my neck today, I wouldn't go to Shanghai. I have been beaten by you since I was a child, and I was beaten up to fight for it, so I worked hard to be admitted to Beiqing University.

Today, for the sake of my ideals, I have to be hard-hearted. Zhuo Yifan gnawed his lips and gnawed his teeth and looked at the things scattered all over the ground. They are all first-hand new goods that I bought with my salary from working in Shanghai.

Seeing her mother picking up things and putting them in the suitcase, her back was sad and tearful, Zhuo Yifan's nose was sore, and the tears that came out swirled in his eyes, insisting that he couldn't let them fall. Otherwise, I throw in the towel.

"Brother Yifan!"

A beautiful voice sounded from behind, and she ran to the front and watched with wide eyes. Zhuo Yifan immediately wiped away his tears, didn't let her see it, and relaxed his breath. This moment finally happened, but I didn't know that Dad's temper would be so broken.

She is Li Qian, the neighbor across the street from my house, just across a small hill. Her bright eyelids looked at me motionless, and she knew what was going on here.

Li Qian was eating in the house, and when she heard that Uncle Zhuo's family on the opposite side was making a lot of noise, she put the bowl aside after eating a few bites of food, and ran over to see the situation.

Uncle Zhuo was angry, Li Qian stared at it and didn't dare to say a word, and then helped Aunt Zhuo pick up things on the ground. They are all Brother Fan's personal belongings. He has a lot of miscellaneous things, most of which are electronics. It contains digital cameras, tablets, ultrabooks, electric beard sharpeners, headphones, power banks, as well as high-end VR glasses, small speakers, small massagers, etc., stacked all together and filled a box.

"Get out! Don't enter the house in the future. Zhuo Yang waved his hand and scolded bitterly, "I don't think I have a son like you." ”

Dad is so fierce! He dared to do this, scolded to this point, Zhuo Yifan took a few steps forward and left with his luggage in his hands.

"Yifan, where are you going?" Liu Yutian hugged his son's hand and asked with tears in his eyes.

Zhuo Yifan insisted on leaving, his heart was blocked and he couldn't speak.

"What are you doing here? It's a big New Year, and you're making other people's families have a bad New Year. Really, stop arguing!"

When Li Qian saw her father coming, his face and neck were thick red, and he was very angry and lectured them.

"Oh, Li Chao, you came just in time. Father and son are on their shoulders. "Liu Yutian is looking forward to a savior.

"Go back!" Li Chao yelled at Zhuo Yifan.

Zhuo Yifan stood motionless, and his father had already kicked me out of the house, so there was no turning back. Now is the time of stubbornness, and ten horses cannot pull back my determination.

"Let's go, Brother Yang, go to the house. Li Chao pushed Zhuo Yang into the house.

As long as the two fathers and sons don't quarrel, it won't matter if they reconcile in the future. How can father and son have an overnight feud?

Dad entered the house, Zhuo Yifan turned around and left.

"Yifan!" Liu Yutian shouted.

"Brother Yifan, where are you going?" Li Qian immediately asked.

"Auntie, don't worry. I'm going to follow Brother Yifan. Li Qian comforted her aunt.

"Hey, I'm sorry for you. ”

Li Qian chased after Brother Fan and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the mountains. Zhuo Yifan said angrily.

Li Qian's face sank, no. He had gone in the wrong direction, leaving the village on the same road. The road he took was the road leading to the mountain, the cement road leading to the tea plantations of the tea mountains. Now there is no one living on the mountain, and everyone has moved down the mountain.

Zhuo Yifan just left by himself, and didn't care if she came with him? Anyway, I made up my mind. There was nothing wrong with my plan. I thought that if my father kicked me out, I would live in an old house in the mountains. Grandpa passed away a few years ago, leaving only an empty house. The house has a bed, electricity, firewood, a stove, everything. I live in an old house, very close to the tea plantation, and the scenery is very beautiful.

For more than ten minutes, Zhuo Yifan walked a mountain road and came to the door of his grandfather's old wooden house. It was built in the seventies of the last century, and it has been thirty or forty years to this day.

Li Qian and Zhuo Yifan grew up in the mountains since childhood, and it was not difficult to walk the mountain road at all. It's a pleasure to walk up a mountain trail now.

"Brother Yifan, are you going to live here?" Li Qian asked as she looked at the okay old house in front of her.

It's just not inhabited now, but it's often used, especially when it's time to pick tea every year, it's the most convenient place. Zhuo Yifan's tea garden is at the back of the house.

Zhuo Yifan put down his suitcase and began to look at the old house calmly. I've never looked at it seriously before, but now I've taken a closer look.

Li Qian stood beside her and watched along.
