Chapter 367: Guan Jiachong

…… Mr. Liu's yard is very large, after entering the door, there are two hundred square meters of patio alone, and it is also the center of the patio paved with bluestone, and there are two rows of stone flower platforms, which are blooming with common flowers in the south such as Yueji, chrysanthemums, orchids, etc., which are blooming in the west sun that is about to fall at this moment.

At the entrance point, in front of the two rows of flower stands, there is a huge water tank, on which some water lilies float, very delicate.

On both sides of the patio are two wings, with a roof extending nearly two meters above the wings, which are then covered by giant logs that are thick for adults to hug each other, forming a corridor about one and a half meters wide.

With this corridor, you can freely enter and exit the main house and the houses on both sides on rainy days without worrying about getting caught in the rain.

After Liu Dong put the motorcycle at the gate of the courtyard, he followed behind Mr. Liu and walked into the wing room on the left.

"When you're in our village, stay here!" As he spoke, Old Man Liu opened the hook on the door, then pushed the door and walked in.

The wing room is large, more than seventy square meters, with a small living room in the middle, and two rooms on either side of the living room.

"This is where a few children in the family lived when they came to see me, it was very clean!" As he spoke, Liu Lao took Liu Dong and pushed open the door on the right side.

What appeared in front of Liu Dong was a room of more than 20 square meters, with a double bed in the middle of the room, and a low black table next to the bed, on which Liu Dong was a child, and the kind of glass oil lamp that Liu Dong could see in his hometown when he was a child.

Going around the large bed, there is a wardrobe more than one meter high at the foot of the bed against the wall, and a large black cabinet is placed on the wardrobe.

Cabinets are topped to the corners. And next to the cabinet near the window, there is a two-meter-long one. A desk with a width of 80 cm. There are some wool selections on it. As well as some magazines, plus a mirror.

In addition to these pieces of furniture, there are also some decorative calligraphy and painting prints on the four walls of the house, as well as some awards and other things.

There was no smell in the house, while the table and bed were clean and obviously cleaned regularly.

After seeing this environment, Liu Dong was very satisfied, and such living conditions had exceeded his previous estimates.

"Thank you. This place is very good, old man!" Liu Dong said sincerely.

"Hehe, thank you don't need it! It's good that you, a city person, can get used to living in our small place in the countryside, by the way, I'll tell you when we have dinner! You can clean up after yourself! By the way, there is a futon in the cabinet, you can make your own bed!"

"I see, old man!"

Hearing this, Old Man Liu nodded, then retreated, leaving the space to Liu Dong.

Shut the door. Liu Dong stood in the room and looked at it for a while, then took off the backpack behind him. Then he took out the futon he bought in the county town from the mustard seed space and spread it on a double bed with only bare bed boards.

Then, I went outside and brought in my easel and drawing board.

After doing this, Liu Dong said something to Old Man Liu, then walked out of the house, and then wandered around the village. At this time, the news that an outside city person came to the village had spread all over this quiet mountain village, so no matter where Liu Dong went, he was greeted with curiosity.

In the end, I originally planned to check the whole village to see if I could find any clues about Uncle Li and their stay here, but in the end, I really couldn't stand the surrounding villagers, like looking at the monkeys and tigers in the zoo, Liu Dong had to retreat a little helplessly.

When Liu Dong came back, there were already several people in the small courtyard, which was still a little deserted when he first came.

After seeing him come in, they all looked at him.

"Liu Dong, come here!"

Seeing the old man beckoning, Liu Dong, who was kindly taken in, naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over.

"Old man!"

After saying hello, Old Man Li pointed to a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall, dark-skinned, and with a Chinese face, and said, "Liu Dong, this is our Guan Jiachong Guan Dashi Village Chief, who came to see you!"

"Hello Village Chief Guan, my name is Liu Dong, and I came to us to paint and sketch, so I will live in our village during this time, please take care of me!" Liu Dong said politely.

"Hehe, Liu Dong, I'll call you Xiao Liu!"

"No problem!" This person is the same age as his father, and Xiao Liu is naturally called.

"Well, Xiao Liu, seeing that you are so young, why did you think of coming to us to paint and sketch?" Liu Dong, an outsider, suddenly appeared in the village, and Wang Dashi, as the village head, was naturally very cautious.

If Liu Dong is just a painter, it's okay, if some criminal or something escapes to them, it will be a bad thing.

Seeing the caution in Guan Dashi's eyes, Liu Dong said with a smile: "Actually, I originally planned to go to our Zhushui Scenic Area to paint, but after I arrived in the county seat, I heard that we have mountains, water, and waterfalls here, and the scenery is more beautiful than the water there, but my hometown is also in the mountains, so I am not afraid that the mountain road is difficult, so I inquired and came to our Guanjiachong, came in to see, and sure enough, the scenery is unique, great!"

In the end, Liu Dong's face showed a strong look of admiration, which made Guan Dashi very satisfied, no matter who doesn't want to hear the praise of his hometown from others.

Moreover, Liu Dong is too young to look like a bad person.

So after another interrogation, Liu Dong passed the test. Next, after being polite, the village chief Guan took his leave and left. Of course, when he left, he also took away two bottles of good wine given by Liu Dong.

sent off the village chief, and then Mr. Liu introduced the family of four next to him, who was his youngest daughter, son-in-law, and two grandsons.

Liu Lao's youngest daughter is about forty years old, but the rural people work at sunrise and sunset, and deal with the land all year round, so they look a little darker, and under the tempering of life, they look older than their real age than their appearance.

And Liu Lao's son-in-law is a tall, sturdy-looking middle-aged man, wearing a black vest and a flat head on his big face with a hint of honesty. Looking at Liu Lao's eyes with a hint of respect, when he cooks at night, he is also rushing to do it, he is very diligent, he is an honest and reliable man!

The two children, a boy and a girl, the older brother is the older brother, who is 15 years old and is in junior high school, and it is still the summer vacation, so he stays at home, and the other little girl, who is only 10 years old and is still in elementary school, also stays at home because of the summer vacation, but in a few days, she will go to school.

At dinner, Liu Dong took out a lot of meat from his mustard seed space. In addition, I also took a lot of pencils and gave them to two children who went to school. Of course, snacks such as candy are also indispensable.

After eating dinner, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and then the family plus Liu Dong talked for a while, Liu's youngest daughter's family was ready to go back to their home to rest.

"Aunt Liu, you can keep this money! It's my food expenses for Liu Lao!" Just as Liu Lao's youngest daughter's family walked out of the house, Liu Dong took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket.

"Hey, Liu Dong, it doesn't cost anything to eat and stay, it's all grown in our own fields, so we don't need to pay for it!" It was already dark, and Liu Fang didn't see how much money Liu Dong was holding in his hand, but after hearing his words, he hurriedly pushed his arm back.

"Aunt Liu, you can take it! The things grown in the field also cost money, and besides, I can't eat and live here for nothing, then I won't be a scoundrel! You should take this money! Otherwise, I really don't have the face to live here!" As he spoke, Liu Dong forced it into Liu Fang's hand.

"So much?" Then the clear moonlight, although Liu Fang didn't see it too clearly, she still recognized the hundred-yuan bill, and such a thick pile would cost at least a few thousand yuan. Their family doesn't make that much in a year.

"Liu Dong can't do it, this money is too much! I can't spend so much!" Although the rural people are not rich, they are simple people, and Liu Fang certainly does not dare to accept so much money at once.

Holding down her arm, Liu Dong smiled: "Aunt Liu, I'm young, I eat a lot, and I like to eat meat, so ah, you have to worry more about eating, and it costs a lot of money to buy it in the village, and this money is my meal ticket." Just refund more and make up less!"

Hearing this, Liu Fang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then under the persuasion of her husband next to her, she finally nodded and agreed, "Okay then! When you leave, I'll pay you back the rest of the money!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and didn't take it to heart, he didn't plan to get the money back if he gave it out.

"By the way, Aunt Liu, can you and Uncle Guan come here for dinner tomorrow?" Seeing the look of surprise on the faces of the two, Liu Dong continued: "You know that I am from the city, and I have never learned to cook since I was a child......!"

Of course, Liu Dong can also cook, but since he has Wang Qiang, he has rarely done it himself, and now he has become a lot lazier, and he doesn't have much time, he has the kung fu to cook, and he has to go to Uncle Li and they don't know where to hide the treasure of King Zhuang.

"Huh!"

"Hee-hee!" ......

Liu Dong's words caused a family of four to laugh in unison, "Okay, this is no problem, it just so happens that my father is also the master of the meal, and the two of you have got together this time!"

Liu Fang's words fell, and the family burst into louder laughter.

Subsequently, after a few people said a few words, Liu Fang's family left. And Liu Dong also returned to his room and lit the oil lamp, this kind of life without electricity, except for the impression that he still had when he was a child, he had not experienced it for ten years.
