Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the early morning, Xiao Feng was awakened by the sound of birdsong outside the window, and when he took out his mobile phone, it was only seven o'clock. There are two nests of magpies on the camphor tree in the yard, and they have become the most punctual natural alarm clock in the Xiao family's old house, which makes people love and hate.
Xiao Feng, who had the heart to rely on ** for a while, had already heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, and he was embarrassed to lie down.
Walking out of the house, the cold and fresh air came to his face, so that Xiao Feng couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath!
Compared with the foul air in Haizhou, the air in Ginkgo Village is not polluted at all, and the difference between the two can be imagined! Backed by a whole mountain range and countless primeval forests, Ginkgo Village itself is a huge negative ion oxygen bar, which is also the high-quality life that city people dream of.
From this point of view, it is really difficult to say which of the city and country people has a higher quality of life.
Sometimes, Xiao Feng wonders, what is the purpose of living a dog-like life every day in the city?
"My good grandson is up?" said the old lady, whose head came out of the kitchen, "Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, and you will be ready to eat soon!"
The old lady is over seventy years old, but her body is strong, and she does three meals a day by herself. Originally, Xiao Feng's uncles wanted to take the two old people to live down the mountain, but they said that they were used to living in the old house and insisted on not moving out. There was no way, so a few uncles could only take the time to come up, help them do some heavy work, and bring all kinds of daily necessities to the elderly.
"Grandma, I'll get up and cook in the future, you can rest a little more!" Seeing that the old lady had prepared breakfast for herself, Xiao Feng was still a little embarrassed.
Now that I'm back, I still have to take the initiative to do more work in the future, the old lady is not young!
"Silly boy, grandma can do it!" The old lady looked at Xiao Feng, her face smiling brightly, and her folds were ironed out.
While talking to the old lady, Xiao Feng walked to the sink by the kitchen, ready to brush his teeth and wash his face.
There is no waterworks in Ginkgo Village, but every household can use the cleanest and freshest mountain spring water at home, which has to make people sigh at the whimsical ideas of their ancestors.
The mountain where Ginkgo Village is located is called Qingling Mountain, and on the top of the mountain, there is a spiritual spring that does not dry up in all seasons, drought and flood, and is not turbid. Since the ancestors of Ginkgo Village settled here, they began to build a huge system project to make this spiritual spring available to people.
People used bluestone strips to repair the ditch to let the spring water of Qingling Spring flow downstream, and then use various gates, horizontal ditches, dark ditches, etc., to bring the spring water into the home. As a result, the villagers of Ginkgo Village have been using tap water for more than 3oo years ago and have a long history.
In Ginkgo Village, in addition to the water diversion system of Qingling Spring, there is another set of ditches used to drain all kinds of domestic sewage, which proves the wisdom of the ancestors.
Xiao Fengxian, the design and construction concept of the tap water and sewage treatment system of Ginkgo Village clearly comes from the ancient town of Yaozhou, which proves that there were not many connections between Ginkgo Village and the outside world in those days.
After Xiao Feng finished washing, breakfast was ready, Xiao Feng called back the old man who was moving on the dam in front of the courtyard, and the three of them started to move under the corridor of the wing room.
Pumpkin porridge, roasted bait, kimchi, salted duck eggs, but the very simple breakfast made Xiao Feng eat with relish and addicted.
When he was in Haizhou, in order to save time, Xiao Feng had always bought an omelette, soy milk and the like at the stall at the entrance of the village and hurriedly ate them on the way.
After breakfast, Xiao Feng rushed to help the old lady release the local chickens raised at home, sprinkled some corn on them, and then let them go into the mountains and forests in the backyard to forage for food. When walking through the vegetable garden, Xiao Feng had an idea, and simply used the spiritual spring water of the purple bamboo space to water the vegetables planted by the old lady.
Since the growth of various plants in the purple bamboo space grows so fast, in addition to the power of the space itself, presumably the space spring also has a certain role, Xiao Feng is testing the various functions of the purple bamboo space, so naturally he will not let go of such an opportunity.
However, in order to avoid being too shocking, Xiao Feng didn't dare to pour a large amount of space spring water, just sprinkled some slightly.
Only by continuously expanding the scope of the real bamboo can Xiao Feng be able to grasp the various characteristics of the Zizhu space more quickly, and lay a good foundation for making full use of it in the future.
Walking around the house and outside, Xiao Feng helped the old lady clean up all kinds of work at home, which made the old lady happy. In the old lady's heart, if her grandson can accompany her at home every day, it will be the most beautiful thing.
But the old lady knew in her heart that young people had their lives and careers, and as long as they could come back occasionally, she would be satisfied!
After finishing his work, Xiao Feng walked to the dam in front of the courtyard, overlooking Ginkgo Village and even the entire Mirror Lake.
When the Xiao family's old house was built, there was no such thing as cement, but this was not difficult for the skilled craftsmen at that time, and they left an amazing work. The dam in front of the Xiao family's old house is integrated, tight and seamless, and the huge marble strips are cleverly combined in various ways, and finally form a dam with more than one acre, which is magnificent.
Even with today's mechanical strength and construction technology, it is impossible to replicate a dam of this magnitude without cement.
What's even more surprising is that the marble patterns on the entire dam form an exquisite landscape painting, which means that the dam not only has a high technical attainment, but also has immeasurable artistic value.
According to the old man, Grandpa Xiao Feng spent 50,000 taels of silver to build the old house and the dam, which was an unimaginable project at that time. Xiao Feng couldn't imagine how much the purchasing power of 50,000 taels of silver was exchanged for now, but with the situation of the Xiao family's old mansion and dam, if it was to be copied now, it would not be possible to take it without 18 million.
Xiao Feng understands that once the photos of this dam are spread, it will definitely attract widespread attention and attract a large number of tourists to visit Ginkgo Village.
It's just that Xiao Feng is worried that the arrival of tourists will destroy the tranquility of Ginkgo Village, so he is still hesitating.
The experience of the ancient town of Yaozhou has proven that once tourists flock to the city, the large number of commercial developments will greatly undermine the traditions that have been formed for thousands of years, bringing prosperity to the villagers, but also many problems.
Qingling Mountain behind Ginkgo Village is in a north-south direction, so the old house of the Xiao family is built facing east, and the first rays of sunlight that emerge from the mountains opposite will soon pour onto the dam of the old house of the Xiao family.
The golden sunshine, the deep blue lake, the verdant forest, the curling smoke, coupled with the birdsong of Qingyue, the smell of chickens and dogs, constitute a beautiful mountain village in the morning, even if Xiao Feng has been used to seeing it since he was a child, he is also intoxicated and can't help himself.
After living in the reinforced concrete forest for five years, and returning to Ginkgo Village again, Xiao Feng's heart swelled with a lot of emotion, this is his home!
