48. The scenery by the river is good
The side of this Tong River is a high and low mountain, and you can't open a few fields or turn over a few fields, and if you want to live by this river, there is only one way to make a living by fishing. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info And in the past ten years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and everyone has survived by the fields, but there are few people who live by the river.
Man Qing carried a large blue vegetable, Aunt Gui carried a chicken, and Osmanthus also carried a small basket of meat and tofu, and the three of them sat in the rickety and dilapidated carriage driven by Gao Lin, and came to the river in a comfortable mood.
"Wow-" Osmanthus was the first to exclaim, "So many stones!
I saw a large flat clearing by the river, and on the edge of the clearing were piles of rocks as high as a hill, and there was a clanging sound of stones beating nearby. Man Qing also looked at Boss Zhang, who was standing on the side of the road to greet them, suspiciously: With so many stones, it must not be as simple as building an oil mill, right?
Zhang Ye didn't speak, smiled at them, and led them to a small road next to them, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Gui! Our stove is set up here, see if there is anything you want to change-Lao Liu! Come here, Aunt Gui and they are here!"
At this time, Gao Lin, who had already gotten out of the car, glanced at the boss when he heard this, and his expression darkened. He knew why the boss told Lao Liu so much, and he wasn't afraid that he would get along with Miss Gao more - Miss Gao was still the first thing he looked at, he told the boss!
But what is the use of being aggrieved, first, the boss treats him like a recreated parent, he admires and respects him from the bottom of his heart, and second, how can he be worthy of such a good talent as Miss Gao? Looking at this radius of dozens of miles, speaking from the heart, he also feels that only their boss can be worthy.
Also, Miss Gao almost never looked at him squarely, so what could he do if he only had those careful thoughts?
However, haha, Miss Gao never seemed to have a particularly good face for the boss! This thought made Gao Lin's traumatized heart feel a little better, well, a little bit as big as a little thumb.
Naturally, Man Qing didn't notice these eyes, her mind was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery by the river, and then she was shocked by the tall stone formation: she had grown so big, and she had never seen such a beautiful place!
The river seems to have been inadvertently left at the foot of the mountain by the turquoise streamers, quiet, transparent, and green than the woods on the mountain. In the face of such landscapes, Man Qing felt that the few books he had read in the past were too insufficient!
At this time, Aunt Gui next to her suddenly said in a loud voice: "Ah! This Tonghe River is really ****** green!"
Although these words were vulgar, at that moment Man Qing wanted to nod, because she said it so energetically, she couldn't find a better word to describe it!
Compared with this beautiful river, there is nothing strange about the mountains. The shore is dominated by green and large-leaved paulownia trees, some in patches, and some in none. However, the places that did not seem to have been cut down, revealing a lot of weedy clearing.
Seeing that Man Qing looked seriously, Zhang Ye couldn't help but feel proud: this place was created by him, and there is still a lot to be done in the future. Miss Gao likes it, that's because she has vision! Of course, it also shows that she has vision, and the girl she likes really can't be wrong. However, there are many people now, and some things cannot be said in detail. Anyway, she has come here, and she can see it every day in the future, and there are opportunities.
"Aunt Gui, this way!"
Most of the trees along the river have been cut down, leaving a level ground. But the taller ones, the older ones, still remained, and they seemed uneven, but they covered several houses and grass huts so that they would not be exposed to such a scorching sun. Their room is set up under a big camphor tree, a large grass shed, one end is the cooking room, the other end is the canteen, two rough wooden boards as a table, two rows of long wooden planks as stools, squeezed into 20 people is not a problem. There were three large stoves in the room, and three large cauldrons on top. There are grass walls on both sides, and there is a simple cupboard under one side, which is presumably filled with bowls and spices, and under the other side is a firewood pile; there are only simple wooden fences on two sides, and there is a flat place paved with stones next to it, and a large water tank is placed on it; there is a stone road five or six meters away next to the water tank, which leads directly to the river, and it is very convenient to come and wash vegetables or something.
Seeing them coming, the tall and bearded men in the room rubbed their hands very honestly, wanting to look at Aunt Gui and them, but their eyes were a little embarrassed to stare at the three of them, and they were very cramped, "Hey, hey, it's good that you're here!"
Seeing this so-called "Old Man Liu", Man Qing almost couldn't hold back her laughter. But the osmanthus next to him was more direct, "Ah?!You are Old Man Liu?!"
Aunt Gui couldn't use her empty hand, so she stretched out her foot and kicked her daughter, causing Osmanthus to cry out of grievance. Seeing this, Man Qing quickly turned his head, or he would really laugh out loud!
However, she was also very curious, this "old man Liu" had a full beard, and his hair was not tied properly, and he was sloppy, would there be beard and hair in the dishes he cooked?
Zhang Ye looked at the relieved Lao Liu, who was about to be relieved, and he was also amused in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he drank: "What are you going to go?!" Aunt Gui just came, and she is not familiar with the environment, you will help in the room for another day today!"
Lao Liu paused, but then agreed. But a few of the lads outside the hut were already laughing very unkindly.
As soon as this laughter sounded, Man Qing lowered her head, not daring to look casually.
She knew that the village was very gossip about her following Aunt Gui and Guihua to the river. The river was full of men, and although they did not spend the night by the river, they were mixed with these people almost all the day, and she was a girl who had not yet decided to marry - she was not like Osmanthus, who followed her mother, and she did not have any direct elders by her side......
Osmanthus is still a little different from her. Osmanthus is a village girl, no different from other girls, the same as the field can go out to work like a man, but her father is a Xiucai Gong, her family is a scholar, she should know more about etiquette.
Man Qing pursed her lips, just say it if she wants to, anyway, her mouth grows on someone else's face, and she just wants to eat enough food and meat to eat now, and then find someone to marry and leave that home when she is stable.
The first day went smoothly, and the work was so easy that Aunt Gui and Manqing were a little embarrassed to take so many copper plates. The materials are all ready, and Lao Liu took over the work of killing chickens and plucking feathers, and Aunt Gui couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to pick up a few dirty clothes that I don't know whose one and washed them, which is not too idle.
Because Aunt Gui washed her clothes, Manqing volunteered to make it. A few people next to him naturally couldn't ask for it when they heard it, so Osmanthus lit the fire, Aunt Gui helped, Man Qing did it, and after a while, a pot of fragrant hot and sour chicken was ready. In addition to this, Man Qing also made a large pot of tofu stewed meat, another pot of green vegetables, and a large plate of oil-drizzled eggplant - at noon, they ate a fine meal, and shouted that they would make more tomorrow, and at the same time told Lao Liu to hurry up and hit the stones, and then don't enter the room.
Lao Liu was not angry, he laughed twice, and then he stiffened his neck and said: "I said that I wouldn't do it, but you pressed me to do it, and now you blame me?!"
Suddenly there was laughter by the river. In the evening, they eat simply, using leftovers from noon, adding rice, and cooking them into a pot of porridge. At noon, they deliberately left some food, cooked the porridge in the middle of the afternoon, and got into the carriage driven by Gao Lin early and went home.
When I returned home, the sun had not yet set, and the work at home was not delayed at all. Aunt Gui Osmanthus and Man Qing were very satisfied.
