Episode 28
The road out of the provincial capital is really bad, and I often pull some sand and gravel to fill the pits, fill one this year, and two more will pop up next year, and it will not help.
On a sunny day, it is dusty, and on rainy days, it is difficult to walk.
However, it is much better to come to the mountain road.
The flat and clean asphalt road is comfortable to look at, and there are guardrails on the side of the road to make people feel safe.
According to the tour guide, this section of the road was repaired with money donated by Meilin Village and Xiatang villagers for the convenience of tourists. The government has been engaged in the construction of provincial towns, and the roads outside cannot be taken care of for the time being, let alone the development of remote villages.
The development of villages and towns has to be carried out step by step, and those who can wait can wait, and those who can't wait can have their own money and contribute their own strength, and jointly plan for development.
As long as it is legal, the government will support it.
Meilin Village is a typical example, and the cooperation with a village called Xiatang next door to develop a farmhouse, these years have achieved a little success.
To put it bluntly, it's a semi-developed area.
The tour guide's words made Su Xing and the others chuckle in their hearts.
Semi-developed areas...... It seems that the scenery is not very good.
At about six o'clock in the evening, the car drove over the mountain road, and a downhill road appeared in front of me. Not far away, a small village finally appeared in front of everyone.
The destination is in front of us, everyone is not in a hurry, driving slowly, carefully looking at the scenery at the edge of the village.
Unsurprisingly, it's about the same as other tourist attractions.
On both sides of the highway, plum trees are planted about the same height as far as the eye can see, and a large area of leaves washed by the rain is a sight to behold.
In addition to plum trees, there are also rape flowers everywhere...... Not now, that's what the tour guide said. The rapeseed flowering period has long passed, the rapeseed has been harvested and squeezed for oil, and now other crops are planted, and the second round of rapeseed can be planted after these small season crops are harvested.
So, if you want to see rape flowers, welcome to come back next year.
What is disappointing is that there is no ancient building or historic site in everyone's mind, and the jewelry and snack bar are small in scale, and the goods and food in it are similar to those in the provincial capital.
It has the advantage that the streets are clean, the air is fresh, there are few tourists, and it is not as noisy as the popular attractions.
All of this is quite attractive, and some people from the city come and stay for a while during the holidays. They come from all over the world, from nearby cities, from afar, and even from the north to stay here for a long time.
As for accommodation, there are farmhouses and small inns.
There are several inns in Meilin Village and Xiatang Village, most of which are residential houses. There are adobe houses, brick houses, and the villagers who are more economical have specially built holiday cabins, and they are often booked to come over for vacation, which is the envy of the neighbors.
The tour guide booked an inn for everyone, "Meiyu Inn", and Su Xing lived in a room alone.
Okay, she's going to part ways with everyone here. While having dinner together, someone suggested changing the plan to find a landscape idyll.
"Are you going to see the sea?" Su Xing was slightly stunned.
"That's right, it's a trip to the mountains and rivers, in fact, the farmhouse and the scenery in the mountains are similar everywhere. On a hot day, it's better to see the sea. One girl smiled.
"That's right, it's worth the trip to play in the water and eat seafood......"
The girl's proposal aroused everyone's interest, and was immediately recognized by everyone, and asked Su Xing if she wanted to go together, maybe the scenery by the sea was more beautiful than here.
She smiled and declined the invitation, and sat quietly to the sidelines.
The next day, everyone slept until they woke up naturally, left phone calls with Su Xing to keep in touch, and then left.
The environment here is average, and the young people are not very interested and don't want to waste any more time.
Su Xing stood at the door of the inn and watched the big guy go away until he couldn't see it. The road she left was different from when she came, the road ran through the village, and she was a little relieved that the road was smooth and clean, as if it were spotless.
I just arrived, and I had just eaten, so I had to eat and drink.
So, Su Xing left the inn and walked slowly on the side of the road, while looking at the surrounding environment. There are also three or two tourists who walk leisurely like her.
I have to say that the quietness is one of the great things here.
It's not that there is no sound at all, but every family either plays mahjong and poker in front of their own house, or sits in front of the store to knit sweaters and play cross-stitch, and even has children who are concentrating on their homework at the door.
Oh yes, the summer vacation is coming to an end, and the playful child must have forgotten to do his homework and is desperately writing.
Everyone has a childhood, and the anxiety of cramming has basically been experienced.
Most of the more formal shops here are on both sides of the road, and you can really see the adobe houses, red brick houses and other houses full of rustic atmosphere when you turn into each country road.
The height is different, dense and sparse, scattered, except for the prosperity on the surface, the other environment is not much different from other villages.
In this regard, Su Xing was slightly disappointed.
Not disappointed by the efforts of the locals, but rather that she couldn't find a reason to stay here for a long time. When she was a child, she often wandered around with her parents, villages, suburbs, large and small markets, and then lived in the city.
In comparison, the ancient town she passed through on the way was more dear to her. While strolling, I was thinking about staying here for a few days, and then returning to the ancient town to live for a while.
Where to go in the future, it depends on the mood.
If you can't find a satisfactory place, you can go back to G City, and be careful when practicing your ability. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and when people live, there will always be a time when they will pull out the clouds and see the sun.
When I made up my mind, it seemed that the whole person was much more relaxed.
After walking around, Su Xing came to a conclusion that in addition to the rural taste, there are only two shops here that are attractive. One sells all kinds of fans, the other is a framing shop, decorated with calligraphy and paintings, tablets, and many calligraphy and paintings of the ancients are hung in the shop.
Curious, she entered the store and chatted with the proprietress for a few words, and learned that these two were mom-and-pop shops.
On weekdays, the wife takes her sister-in-law to see the store, and the husband and brother-in-law load the framed calligraphy and paintings into the car, and the business is quite good. Don't look at the lack of tourists, many local young people go out to work and do business, and when they are old, they make money and come back to build houses.
Regardless of age, the nature of gossip brings two strangers closer.
For two days in a row, Su Xing came to chat with the proprietress . The other party saw that she had a gentle temperament and looked harmless to humans and animals, and he knew everything.
It turned out that most of the villagers in Meilin Village were surnamed Mei, and the inn where Su Xing lived was opened by a local.
The boss's surname is Mei, the name is Dongsheng, the boss's surname is Yu, and there is a lot of rain in spring and summer here, so the homophonic word "rain" is taken as the name of the inn. Every flowering period, each room is inserted with a plum blossom, and the dark fragrance floats in the cold winter, which has both artistic conception and elegant sound.
Speaking of this Ms. Yu, she is a capable person, and it is said that she has a part in the development of the two villages. First, she protested against the construction of the road, and she paid half of the money for the road construction, and then built a farmhouse, a vegetable oil factory, and a pharmaceutical factory.
