Through Shao Xu's introduction, Chu Tianqi knew that Yanggut Village is an administrative village, and there are two natural villages below, both of which belong to the Yanggut Village Village Committee. There are more than 70 families in the three villages, but only 42 are actually occupied.

The village is located at the top of the slope, and there are small slopes of varying heights around the slope, on which the villagers' houses are built. There are two paths in the center of the village, and in the middle there are three bare circular fields, which are relatively flat and hard, and the fields are surrounded by artemisia grass, which looks like a yard for threshing crops.

The white clouds leisurely cruising in the blue sky, surrounded by lush trees, fresh air, and bursts of birds, it is a good mountain landscape. But now everyone has no intention of enjoying the scenery, just thinking about avoiding the hot fireball above their heads as soon as possible.

Under the guidance of Shao Xu, Chu Tianqi and the three of them came to a farmhouse.

The courtyard was surrounded by stones, and a vegetable garden was enclosed with stones. There are three main rooms and two west rooms in the whole courtyard, all of which are made of stones, and the cracks and perimeters of the stones are covered with mud mixed with grass straw. On the east side of the yard there were two sheds with weeds on the roof, which were supposed to be livestock sheds, and a chicken coop was built next to the livestock shed.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Cao Yukun and Pei Xiaojun sniffed and looked at the stone trough at the base of the wall.

Chu Tianqi also saw the stone trough, he knew that it was used to feed pigs, and the thin water in the stone trough was emitting a slightly sour smell.

Seeing everyone entering the hospital, an elderly woman greeted her: "Director, is there something?"

The woman has short hair and is dressed modestly, with a floral cloth shirt and brown trousers.

Shao Xu said: "Wanfu's family, that's the case, people from the city come to experience life, so arrange it in your house." ”

The woman was puzzled: "Director, what do you mean to experience life?"

"To experience life is to ...... That is, people from the city come to our countryside to stay for a few days, eat our food, sleep on our kang, and go to work in the fields. Shao Xu gave the answer.

"It's a strange city guy. After muttering in a low voice, the woman added, "This matter has to be decided by Dagen'er's father." ”

"I told your Wanfu a few days ago, and he said okay. Shao Xu said, "Don't worry, how much food you eat at your house will be made up for you by the village." ”

"We pay for the food. Chu Tianqi interjected.

"There's nothing to eat at home, as long as the guests don't dislike it. The woman gestured, "Come in, get in." ”

Under the guidance of Shao Xu, Chu Tianqi and others walked into the outhouse of the main house.

Suddenly, a sour smell rushed into the nasal tube, and the sour smell came from the cauldron on the west side, which was the same as the taste in the stone trough, only a little stronger.

Originally, Cao Yukun inhaled his nose, but now he closed his breath directly, and only took a breath when he arrived in the East House. But the sour smell drifted into his nose again, causing him to cough.

"It's a mess at home, it's a mess. The woman explained as she swept the kang mat with a broom.

On the south side of the house, there is a big kang coiled by the window, and the kang mat has turned yellow, but the top is very clean. The ground is land, and there is no floating soil on it. Two mirrors hung on the north wall of the room, and a set of crimson wooden cabinets with small boxes or cups on them, against the wall below.

The room was already small, and several people came in at once, especially some people were very tall, and some people were very fat, so it was even more crowded.

The woman and Shao Xu went out at the right time, and Chu Tianqi and the other three were left in the house.

After a while, Shao Xu walked into the room and said, "Teacher Chu, you can live in the west room, so it's also convenient." It was supposed to be arranged at my house, but my house is really ...... Wanfu's house is very clean in the village. ”

Cao Yukun couldn't help but secretly ask: The smell of sour everywhere is still clean?

After more than ten minutes, Chu Tianqi and the other three were let into the west house in the courtyard, and the village director Shao Xu left first.

The west room is a little smaller, the walls are a little darker, there is only a plate of kang, and there is a wooden compartment on the ground that is not yellow, gray or gray. There are already three sets of luggage on the kang, and the outer cover is a little white.

The guests were instructed to rest on the kang first, and then the hostess went out of the West House and went to the main room.

Seeing that there were only two partners beside him, Cao Yukun pointed to the house with his right hand and lowered his voice: "Can this be lived?"

"I can't hold it, anyway, I'm tired, carrying more than 200 catties of pork up the mountain, who can stand it?" Chu Tianqi said, pounced on the kang, and fell on the luggage.

Pei Xiaojun also threw himself on the kang: "Dragging a pig's hind buttocks all the way, my arms are about to be broken." ”

"You, you two...... I'm exhausted. As Cao Yukun spoke, he also climbed onto the kang.

When it was almost dark in the afternoon, the male host, Shao Wanfu, came back, with a son in his twenties and a grandson who was five or six years old. This son is the second eldest in the family, called Ergen, and Ergen is a little wooden, and the grandson is the child of the eldest son, Dagen, whose parents are both working in other places. Shao Wanfu is a standard old farmer image, he doesn't talk much, but he is very sincere.

At dinner, the village chief Shao Xu came and ate with everyone. For dinner, I ate pasted potatoes, drank corn paste, and the dish was boiled potatoes and dried beans. In addition, Shao Xu brought a bottle of liquor, and Chu Tianqi contributed ham, quail eggs, etc., and everyone ate very lively.

After dinner, Chu Tianqi and the three of them went to the west room of the courtyard, and Shao Xu also went back to his house.

……

The west house of Shao Wanfu's family in Yangjiao Village.

The moonlight sprinkled into the room through the window paper and shone on the three round figures on the kang, these three figures were none other than Chu Tianqi, Pei Xiaojun, and Cao Yukun, who were resting on the kang early.

Cao Yukun turned over and made a voice: "Old Chu, listen, what is the sound?"

"Sleep, it's past eleven o'clock. I've got work to do tomorrow. Chu Tianqi replied casually.

"Why not?" Cao Yukun shook the other party's arm, "Is it a wolf howl?"

"Oh, there's no wolf in this place? Chu Tianqi shook off the fat hand.

"It's not an owl, I've heard owls call. Cao Yukun said, "Listen, one will be higher and the other will be low." ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh": "What should I say to you? Isn't that the sound of snoring? You can't have heard snoring, right?"

"I haven't heard of it, I haven't heard anyone snore. Usually I'm in a room alone, and someone next to me has to let me fall asleep first. Cao Yukun said.

"Forget it, if you fall asleep, we won't sleep. You're like thunder, who can sleep?" Chu Tianqi covered his head.

"Lao Chu, I'll sleep later, I'll sleep later, I can't sleep alone. Cao Yukun went to pull the other party's quilt, "You are really, the quilt smells so big, how do you sleep?"

"That's the smell of a sanitary ball, to prevent insects, only insects are afraid, I think you are a big bug. Chu Tianqi was still holding the quilt.

Cao Yukun turned to the other side again: "Lao Pei, wake up, wake up." Do you have anything to eat? ”

"How can you eat now? How delicious are the potatoes for dinner, you haven't eaten enough?" Pei Xiaojun was puzzled, "I remember you ate a lot." ”

"Don't mention it, I have eaten a lot, and the potatoes and pickles are really delicious. But, guess what I saw?" Cao Yukun said, "As soon as I saw that thing, it didn't smell good." ”

"Don't know?" Pei Xiaojun could.

"I saw the cat bowl under the cabinet, it was like the corn paste we drank, and it didn't smell good. Cao Yukun said, "Why do you say that the countrymen are like this? People eat with cats, and pigs eat in the courtyard, and they stink and sour everywhere." In such a big place at the door, I don't know how many more rooms to build and separate them?"

Chu Tianqi choked back: "Separate fart, you have a lot of business, how can rural people have so much money? ”

"That's what I said, and you see you're still talking. Speaking of this, Cao Yukun changed the topic, "You said that it is the new century, why is there still a place without electricity, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I can't believe it." People here work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and there is no TV at night, except that they do not drink Maoru's blood, they are similar to primitive people. If I were born in this kind of place, if I lived like this every day, I wouldn't be able to live a single day. ”

Chu Tianqi sneered: "Can't live? Aren't you here now? You were born in Fuwo since you were a child, and many people don't have that opportunity for you, don't stand and talk without backache." ”

"You are really, you always have a gun and a stick, I just sighed, and I didn't sarcastically mock rural people, why are you so sensitive?" Cao Yukun turned to Pei Xiaojun again, "Old Pei, you give a comment." ”

"What's the reason? Who is right and who is wrong, and what is the right reason? Let's think about what we are here for, and it is the right reason to complete our task. Pei Xiaojun said, "I'm wondering if tomorrow will be a sunny day, the sun is still so poisonous, if it's still so hot, I really don't know how to get up." ”

"yes, don't let the sun come out tomorrow, it's okay if it rains, or you really won't be able to live. Cao Yukun muttered.

"A full man doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry. If it doesn't rain, how will the grain crops grow, how can there be food, and how will the people live?" Chu Tianqi sneered, "If there is no food, your son and brother will starve to death." ”

"Did you take gunpowder? Didn't you just let you help you for a short distance today, do you have any cows?" Cao Yukun raised his voice, "Big deal, give you some compensation, you say, do you want hundreds, or thousands?"

"I just hate your face, I think I'm sorry because I have a stinky money, you think everyone else is like you, full of copper smell?" Chu Tianqi sneered.

"Lao Chu, are you still finished? Don't stare at your nose and face. Cao Yukun said, "By the way, there is one thing that I haven't looked for you yet? Why do you say that research is experience, that you are teachers, and that we are bosses? As if you are so educated." ”

"If I don't say that, how can I say it? Tomorrow when you go to the field, you don't even distinguish between seedlings and grass, I can't say that you are an agricultural expert. If you don't let Director Liu say that you experience life, but directly say that it is research, can you feel the real rural life?" Chu Tianqi replied directly, "In fact, from the moment you set foot here, you should experience the food, accommodation and life here, including experiencing the taste you don't want to smell." Don't be in the clouds, now you have already begun to experience it. ”
