When Lin Ziqing was in high school in her previous life, it was developed by the government and turned into a tourist attraction.
There are nearly 200 luxury houses of the Ming and Qing dynasties with blue bricks and tiles, carved beams and paintings, an extraordinary style, a half-kilometer-long bluestone slab street and 10 ancient lanes paved with pebbles;
The academy here has cultivated many scholars, and there are many clan ancestral halls and family temples in the town, which are also the characteristics of the ancient town.
The ancient town has nearly 100 ancient pebble lanes criss-crossed and retained, long or short, wide or narrow, high walls and narrow lanes, simple and remote. Ancient dwellings are lined up one after another.
The village where Lin Ziqing was born is in the ancient town, and the name of the village is the same as the name of the town.
The ancient town retains the intact ancient alleys, criss-crossing the large and small lanes are paved with bluestone slabs in the middle, cobblestones on both sides, and some are all paved with river pebbles.
The house where Lin Ziqing lived when she was a child was in an alley, and this alley was named Xie Fu Lane because there were many clansmen from the Xie Fu family.
Their family lives in a building left during the Qing Dynasty, the appearance of the courtyard style of the brick sealing fire wall, with the characteristics of Hui architecture, covering an area of about 600 square meters. The name is "Shi Zhai".
The gate is with the wall, a total of 3 courtyards, composed of the front hall, the passage, the residence, the attic part, this courtyard is a courtyard courtyard courtyard building, the south side has a wooden two-story guard.
There are now 6 families left in the compound, which are the houses of relatively few other houses around this alley.
There are her three uncles' family, her uncle's family, Li's three grandchildren's family, and the two old men of the Li family live in six wings in the west with their youngest son.
On the right hand side of the front hall live his daughter Li Xiulian's son-in-law Wang Zhongliang's family, as well as his son Li Chenggui's family.
Now the walls of this house are mottled, the door has been peeled off, and the two knockers on the door are rusty.
Directly opposite the gate of the Shi Mansion is the county office of the Qing Dynasty, in the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), the Christian Church set up a junior girls' primary school here, and dropped out in 1940. Now most of the people of the Fu clan live in it.
On the left side of the Shi Mansion is the Admiral's Mansion left in the Qing Dynasty, and more than 10 families of the Pan clan live in the "Pan Jiayuan".
There is a threshing field in the middle of the house where the Shi Mansion and the Fu clan live, and there is a smaller one in the lower right corner, and two families surnamed Huang live in the courtyard of the 2 halls.
Directly to the right of the Shi house, there is the "Xie Manor" where the Xie clan lives. It is a large courtyard covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, with a very wide patio and a few century-old trees.
Behind the Shi house is the most famous "Li's doctor" in the ancient town. The Li family has "nine doctors in one family", and there was a "prime minister" in the Song Dynasty.
There are four generations of ancestors and grandchildren living in it, and the brick carving of the gatehouse of Dr. Li is delicate and delicate, and the figure form is lifelike and beautiful.
There are four allusions in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the eight-character wall, as well as beautifully carved pine, bamboo, plum, crane, deer, unicorn and other combinations, and there are two lions carved in bluestone at the gate.
Lin Ziqing took her mother's hand and walked on the bluestone road in the alley, looking at the stones under her feet, there was a feeling of going back in time, as if she was in ancient times.
Thinking that I have returned to my childhood and embarked on this familiar path again, I still feel that everything is like a dream......
"It's better to be at home when you're home. Lin Wenshan took a deep breath of air and said with a loud laugh.
Lin Ziqing came back to her senses from her thoughts and said softly to herself, "Home, yes." It's nice to have the whole family together and to be in this home!"
Lin Ziqing's home is in the middle of the courtyard, east of the courtyard, and there are three rooms, which were originally lived by Lin Ziqing's uncle's family.
After the eldest uncle's family moved to the primary school, when Lin Wenshan separated after marriage, these rooms were left to Lin Wenshan.
The big one has an attic, Lin Ziqing's parents and younger brother live together, Lin Ziqing lives alone in the small one next door, there is a corridor outside her room, and inside is a small room for putting grain, and the kitchen is next door.
Lin Ziqing's bald head and the injuries on her head aroused the concern and curiosity of adults and children in the courtyard. When the two cousins came to see her, they also brought some wild fruits picked in the mountains, and her third uncle, Lin Wennan, brought a basket of fresh vegetables and a bucket of loaches and yellow eels.
"Loach Yellow Eel Race Ginseng" nourishes the blood and qi, and the people in the village love to eat it, and there are several local specialties made with loaches.
Lin Ziqing didn't like to eat loaches in her previous life, and this matter was also when she grew up a little more, and the third aunt knew that every time she went to his house for dinner, she would deliberately put loaches on the table away from her.
When her uncle saw her injured head, she sent a pot of stewed pig brains the next day. Lin Ziqing couldn't smell the taste of pig brains, so he didn't take a few bites, but the soft and glutinous taste of pig brains actually made Lin Zitian like it very much, so he put it into his little belly.
Two days after coming back, when Lin Ziqing went out, the neighbors and children in various families all knew about her head being smashed, and some children who had a good relationship with Lin Wenshan came to visit, and some children would look at her bald head with strange eyes when they saw her.
With Lin Ziqing's current thoughts, she wouldn't mind the curious eyes of those little children at all. She is now thin and small, and in order not to accidentally get hurt in a bunch of small children, she rarely plays with them these days.
When I got home, my mother went out to the market during the day to sell a kind of black jelly made of fairy grass, fried small triangle cakes and fried spring rolls.
The local fairy grass jelly is a little different from the popular "Taiwan fairy grass jelly" in later generations, when eating, it is crushed with bamboo strips, poured with water prepared with borneol mint, and a little white sugar. It's very delicious, and now a bowl is only sold for 2 cents.
Tan Liyun took Lin Zitian to the town market with a small basket made of bamboo brought back from her parents' house, thinking that it would cost a lot to go back to her parents' house this time, and she wanted to subsidize her family's expenses.
When Lin Wenshan returned home, it was already the beginning of September, and the rice in this place was twice a year, and now the second crop rice had reached the time of harvesting, and when he left, he asked his third brother Lin Wennan's family to help, and now he needs to dry the grain every day.
The children of the family looked at the millet mat, and occasionally raked it with a big rake made of wood. Lin Ziqing would follow her to the barn to have a look, but Lin Wenshan would not let her stay too long, for fear of getting her head on the sun.
During the period of recuperation at home, Fu Jiabao, a bear child in the yard of the Fu family next door, saw that she was not wearing a hat one day, and actually gave her the nickname "Broken Pumpkin Head".
After Lin Wenshan found out, he grabbed his collar with one hand and put it in front of his father, and criticized him fiercely.
Fu Jiabao's father is actually the younger brother of Lin Wenshan's cousin-in-law, and their family has opened a clothing store, which can be regarded as a relatively wealthy family in this neighborhood.
A day later, he bought a pound of candy, 10 eggs and a bag of noodles. said that he would make up for Lin Ziqing's body, but Lin Wenshan refused, but later accepted it.
On the day when Lin Ziqing's left brain gauze was removed, she took a look in the mirror, and a small fair face appeared in the mirror, with a pair of Danfeng eyes embedded under her curved eyebrows, beautiful eyes with black and white distinct, long eyelashes, a delicate nose, and a reddish mouth.
Lin Ziqing looked at herself, stinky and beautiful, it's okay! It's still cute.
There was a moon-like scar on her scalp, about 5 millimeters wide, and there was a little dent in the middle of the scar when I touched it with my hand, and it felt the size of a penny coin.
I didn't grow any hair in this area before, and I thought that in the future, when the technology is developed, I can grow hair.
Now because she has grown less than a centimeter long, she still wears a hat all day. I don't go out to play, I just walk around the compound.
When Lin Ziqing returned to the village, the kindergarten had already started, so Lin Wenshan didn't send her to the kindergarten first, wanting her to recuperate at home for a few more days.
In order to let her know more words and arithmetic, he asked his eldest sister Lin Yumei, who was a teacher in the kindergarten in the town, to take a few children's books from her......
