"Luckily...... No, or else...... I may not meet you. Zhou Wentao rejoiced.

Zhao Qingru smiled faintly and echoed: "Yes, fortunately, no." ”

This time, the ferry that Zhao Qingru and Zhou Wentao took has already been updated, compared with the big ferry that carried mules, carriages and small wheelbarrows in addition to carrying people, now this belongs to the cruise ship, specially prepared for tourists who come for vacation. Compared to the other tour route, you can drive a private car or a tourist bus into the village, and this side the car can only go to the ferry.

After taking the ferry past the reservoir and enjoying the green mountains and clear waters, we arrived at Qingshuihu Village. You can stay in Qingshuihu Village for a day, taste the special food in the village, climb a few surrounding hills that are not too high in the early morning, and see the sunrise, as long as you choose to enter Shenjiawa Village at noon.

Zhao Qingru is actually not very familiar with Qingshuihu Village, the only one who is more familiar with it is the person, Senior Brother Xie Wenle, an old intellectual, who responded to the call and went to the countryside to take root in Qingshuihu Village for ten years. Juniors like Zhao Qingru have been taken care of by this senior brother to a greater or lesser extent.

When Zhao Qingru first arrived in Shenjiawa Village, he really admired an old intellectual, like Xie Wenle, who had been in the local area for many years. Several villages in Datang Town, such as Qingshuihu Village and Shenjiawa Village, except for geographical restrictions, access is not so convenient, in fact, the days are quite peaceful, but a little harder.

In fact, thanks to the inconvenient accessibility, the two villages were largely unchanged during that decade. Otherwise, the current proud eating guys in Shenjiawa Village basically can't stay.

"This way...... It looks pretty simple. Zhou Wentao, who got off the ferry, looked around, and most of the courtyards he saw were more traditional structures in the south of the Yangtze River, of course, the walls had traces of repainting, but some of the patterns of spirit animals carved on the cornices, such as auspicious clouds and carp, were faintly visible.

"Wen Tao, let's have a small snack here first, and then take the car into the mountains. Because of the time, Zhao Qingru, who had already missed lunch, suggested this. Before the words fell, Zhao Qingru heard a somewhat familiar voice behind him.

"I don't know what that old lady thinks, it's not good to go to that farmhouse to play, but I chose such a poor country, it's dirty!"

"Actually...... It's not that bad here......"

"Fang Weixing, of course you said that. Who doesn't know that you were placed here as an educated youth back then!"

Zhao Qingru was obviously stunned, but she didn't expect that she would be so fated to meet the same train back then, and they were arranged to Luliang Township. It's just that on the same day, Fang Weixing and a few male intellectuals were picked up by the village party secretary of Taowu Village.

Taowu Town, where Taowu Village is located, is the closest town to Chengguan Town, and it is famous for its abundance of tribute peaches. It is said that the history of cultivating tribute peaches has been going on for hundreds of years.

Over the years, as far as Zhao Qingru knows intermittently, most of the peach groves that were cut down in order to increase grain production have been replanted with peach trees. As for the varieties, in addition to retaining the local traditional varieties, new varieties have been introduced. To say that the village party secretary of Taowu Village is also a bold person, with the cooperation of the old village chief, the so-called farmhouse was tossed earlier than several villages in Datang Town. Enjoy ten miles of peach blossoms in spring, naturally pick peaches in summer, eat peach blossom chicken in autumn, and even in the winter of farming, you can also taste the so-called New Year (soil) pig rice in advance.

Several villages on this side of Datang Town, especially Qingshuihu Village and Shenjiawa Village, where traffic is the most inconvenient, if it were not for the discovery of the tomb of a former dynasty official, coupled with the well-preserved ancient buildings, it is estimated that even if you want to develop a farmhouse and attract people from the city, because of traffic problems, no one wants to come and experience life.

It is also thanks to the back that another road out of the village and into the town, and although the original road is a little detoured, you can still take a cruise boat and enjoy a handful of green mountains and clear waters.

Fang Weixing didn't correct some of his companions' misunderstandings about him, just because he raised his head suddenly, and it happened that he saw Zhao Qingru standing not far away. Although Zhao Qingru has consciously retired in recent years, seeing that he has not had much exposure and rarely appears in front of the public, a few years ago, at the beginning of the new century, in order to bid for the Olympic Games in the new century, he began to be active in the 90s of the last century. Especially in the year when the results of the Olympic bid were decided, it can be said that the vast majority of the people in China sat in front of the television set and broadcast the whole process live.

Zhao Qingru's speech called "One orld One Dream" made the world remember this girl with a bright smile and fluent English, and she was even more curious about the mysterious oriental country that was taking off in the eyes of the little girl. The summer sports festival held in Yanjing, China, really changed the original impression of people all over the world. Not to mention, Fang Weixing, who once went to the mountains and countryside with Zhao Qingru, can recognize people.

Since Fang Weixing resumed the college entrance examination, he took the exam for two consecutive years, and finally got his wish to be admitted to a normal college. In the late 70s and early 80s of the last century, normal colleges were much more popular than ordinary universities, and they could become teachers after graduation. Because of the turmoil of the past decade, there is a serious shortage of teachers across the country. After graduating, Fang Weixing did not return to his hometown, but stayed in the provincial capital city and worked as a teacher in a key junior high school. In the first year, he became a regular and two years later he was promoted to deputy director of the teaching office.

In the early 90s, after hearing that the state planned to build a securities market in the magic capital, he decisively took out all his family savings, and scraped together a little with relatives and friends, scraping together 50,000 yuan, all of which were thrown into the stock market. To say that Fang Weixing's luck is really good, relying on the subscription coupon that is in and out, he earned a small 10,000 yuan, and the few stocks he picked after that were like sesame seeds blooming, made his assets multiply several times at once. After that, he ran to the Shenzhen market, although he didn't cut all the meat in time in the end, but he earned a net worth of two or three million.

It's a pity that this money was invested on the island, and there was nothing left except for two worthless villas on the island under his name. At that time, Fang Weixing wanted to die, but he accidentally saw the video of Zhao Qingru's speech when he was bidding for the Olympics, and he regained his vitality and looked for a job. To say that Fang Weixing's toss over the years is not without gains, at least he has met a lot of people. It is precisely by relying on these new friends that Fang Weixing has gained a firm foothold in the current company.

Fang Weixing has always wanted to thank Zhao Qingru in person, but unfortunately there is no contact information for Zhao Qingru, after all, although everyone took the same train to Luliang Township, they were assigned to different towns, and they basically never contacted each other since.

In fact, fate is so subtle. Just when Fang Weixing gave up, the two met again in Qingshuihu Village, Datang Town.

"You, you're ...... Zhao Qingru?" After recognizing the person, Fang Weixing was particularly happy, and even took the initiative to introduce himself in a hurry, "I, I'm Fang Weixing." Back then, they took the train together to the township. The train was late, and it arrived in the evening. It was Director Xia who was in charge of receiving us, and he stayed in that terrible guest house for one night. You don't remember. ”

"Hello. In fact, Zhao Qingru, who had already recognized people, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I haven't seen you for almost thirty years." You haven't changed much. ”

"No, it's old. Fang Weixing scratched his head, turned his head sideways and looked at the man standing beside Zhao Qingru, who had noticed it a long time ago, "This is ...... Do you love someone?"

"Yes, he is my husband Zhou Wentao. Wen Tao, he is the educated youth who I went to the mountains and went to the countryside to come here, Fang Weixing. It's just that Brother Fang was arranged to go to Taowu Village back then, and I went to Shenjiawa Village in order to take refuge with my eldest brother. ”

"Hello. Zhou Wentao politely took the initiative to reach out and shake Fang Weixing's hand.

"I heard that Taowu Village is also developing well, and almost every household has built a small western-style house. Brother Fang, have you been to see it?"

"I went to see it last time on National Day, and it has indeed changed a lot. This time, I ran here because the unit organized to experience life. As soon as Fang Weixing's chatterbox opened, it was like the water in the Qingshui Lake Reservoir that he had just admired before, gushing endlessly.

Back then, Zhao Qingru knew that Fang Weixing's social skills were quite strong, especially his ability to stammer. After so many years, although there has been some change, the nature has not changed much.

Because the itinerary was almost the same, and the destination was Shenjiawa Village, Zhao Qingru and Zhou Wentao took the tourist bus of Fang Satellite Company and entered the village together. Originally, Zhao Qingru also wanted to take his man on a mule cart and roll back to the Lantern Festival. You must remember that year, the first time I took the mule cart driven by Old Man Shen back to Shenjiawa Village, and ate the yellow sand all the way. When I arrived in the village, not only was my butt almost broken into several pieces, but the whole person was also wrapped in a layer of yellow sand, just like the Lantern Festival.

It's a pity that even if you really take that mule cart, you won't be able to do it this time. The original yellow mud road has long been turned into an asphalt road, and it has also widened a lot. Otherwise, there is no way for a car like a tourist bus to drive into Shenjiawa Village.

Zhao Qingru has not returned to Shenjiawa Village for almost 20 years, and the changes in the village are not big, it is still a more traditional Jiangnan house, unlike other villages outside, and after having more money in his pocket, he built a small western-style house or villa. In Shenjiawa Village, even if a new house is built, the style is still a traditional courtyard. In Zhao Qingru's eyes, it is very kind.

Because they had been contacted by phone in advance, Zhao Qingru and Zhou Wentao got out of the car, and saw an old woman with gray sideburns sitting under the old tree at the entrance of the village, and the expression on her face was a little excited after seeing her get out of the car.

"Thou, thou girl. ”

"Aunt Peach. Zhao Qingru immediately greeted him and stretched out his hand to help, "I'm back." ”

"Well, it's good to be back. Every time you girl says she wants to come back and see, she hasn't come here for so many years. Auntie, I thought I wouldn't see you again in my life. "The old woman is not an outsider, it is Zhao Qingru's mother who had a very good relationship when she was a knowledgeable youth in Shenjiawa Village.
