Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Old Guy Lies in the Bush, Aiming for a Thousand Miles (Happy New Year!) )
In front of Li Jinxing's house, there is a crooked neck tree as old as the old house, which is said to have been planted by his great-grandfather when he built the house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, there were more than a dozen people scattered in front of the old tree, and a pair of eyes looked curiously at the door.
Rammed earth walls wrap around the building, and the green tile roof covers it...
The whole building seems to have changed from the beginning, it is still so simple and low-key, just like the homes of people deep in the mountains.
The eaves are not high, and judging from the height of the dove tree, you have to bend down to enter.
Prior to this, the lighting of the old house was very poor, and after observing it, she believed that a large part of it could be caused by the rammed earth wall.
In fact, rammed earth walls are a very ancient construction technique in China, which has almost accompanied the entire Chinese civilization and has a history of four or five thousand years.
In ancient times, it was often used to build city walls and enclose houses, and different ethnic groups in different parts of China have their own rammed earth technology.
Rammed earth walls are also very practical, waterproof, durable, earthquake-resistant, low cost, easy to take materials, etc...
But at the same time, because of the thickness of its rammed earth walls, the area of window openings and door openings is relatively narrow, resulting in insufficient lighting in the whole house.
The renovation of old houses, to maintain the tradition, means that it cannot change its foundation, and it cannot be greatly changed.
Therefore, the main changes to this old house are the redivision of the interior space and the solution of the lighting problem.
They are all done indoors and are naturally inconspicuous from the outside.
The whole stilted building can be said to be hidden inside.
"Li Jinxing, why don't you go in?"
"Just, push the door quickly, so we can follow along!"
"Why are you still not moving? Don't you dare to enter your own home? ”
Li Jinxing stood at the door, the doll was riding on his neck, and he was inexplicably a little nervous and apprehensive.
Seeing his appearance, the villagers behind him couldn't wait to urge.
"Dad, why don't you move?"
The doll looked at the door of his house with his fingers in his mouth, and then looked at his father, who was a little puzzled, and asked in a milky voice.
"Move!"
"Let's move, let's go home!"
Li Jinxing came back to his senses, grinned, and promised the doll.
Just as he was about to move forward, there was a sudden movement behind him.
Li Jinxing stopped when he heard the sound and looked at it with the villagers.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"My father, you also came to see Li Jinxing's new house!"
"When did you care about this?"
"Dad, you're here too!"
......
Seeing this, some people among the villagers began to shout.
Wow, look away.
I only saw two old men in the distance, one fat and one thin, followed by seven or eight old guys of similar age approaching in a majestic manner.
or walking independently, or on crutches, but all of them show the momentum of wind and fire.
The villagers scratched their heads and looked at their parents, looked at them, and felt as if something was wrong, but then they didn't see anything.
"Let's also take a look at Li Jinxing's new home!"
An old man replied loudly at the top of his voice.
The old guys in the countryside often give birth to the atmosphere of twilight at a young age, and these old people in Banwan Village are no exception.
But this time it was different, the children noticed that something was wrong from the spirit of the elderly.
These old people have excitement and anticipation on their faces.
And the purpose of their trip is not entirely to see Li Jinxing's new home, they have their own plans.
Li Jinxing greeted the old people one by one.
After saying hello, Li Jinxing stood at the door again, reaching out to push the door of his house.
The crowd behind him was divided into two groups, one group was the first villagers, and the other group was the old people who came later.
A pair of eyes looked at Li Jinxing intently, and said that they were looking at the door that had not yet been opened.
This is the third family that Designer Bai has changed, and it takes the most time, manpower, and material resources.
They have already calculated in their hearts.
I feel that this change may be better than Shu Ting's family, but it will never be better than He Biao's family.
Because in the eyes of the villagers, no matter how comfortable your house is, it is no better than a hen that constantly lays golden eggs.
It's going to be pushed.
The villagers followed and poked their heads out.
I don't want to, it's full of twists and turns.
At that moment, another voice came from behind him.
"Uncle Li!"
Just listen, a crisp voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Li Jin's action stopped again.
Hey, I can't get in yet.
Who is this, it's not the right time!
The villagers frowned, turned their heads with annoyance and resentment.
Over there, Li Jinxing knew who it was, grinned, and looked at the person enthusiastically.
I saw that on the trail behind him, Jue Tong took Banxia and Qianhe everyone pacing, and Lao Yang personally carried the camera to track and shoot.
"Designer Bai, it's you."
"Hey, I didn't expect Designer Bai to rush over, what kind of blessing did Li Jinxing have in his last life."
"Yes, yes, not only did I renovate Li Jinxing's house, but I also brought other designers to come again!"
"Designer Bai is so conscientious, he is a living bodhisattva!"
......
As if his face had changed, his furrowed eyebrows immediately raised, and a smile appeared on his face, and he praised loudly.
Seeing that Bai Juetong's entire team rushed over, they were shocked and realized the importance that Juetong attached to Li Jinxing's family.
Li Jinxing greeted him, held Juetong's hand with both hands, and thanked him vigorously.
She smiled and nodded.
He looked at the doll that was riding on his father's neck and looking at him curiously.
Under the doll's curious gaze, Jue Tong stretched out two hands and pinched them on the doll's face.
Everyone's eyes were falling on the body of the dove tree.
They saw the movements of the doll and the slightly dissatisfied muttering of the doll, and then laughed.
Greeting the villagers, the dove passed them and stood in front of the old people.
"Uncle, aunt, you are here too."
"The weather is good today, it seems that the uncle, the eldest lady is in good spirits."
Sensitively aware of the changes between the old people and the last time they met, Jue Tong greeted the old people.
"Hello, hello, white designer."
"Thanks to you!"
"You are the great benefactor of our village..."
The fat and thin old man responded happily.
The other old people behind them were also enthusiastically greeting the dove tree.
Seeing this, the children of the old people not far away nodded secretly in their hearts, feeling that their fathers and mothers had finally wiped their strength, and knew that they had patted Bai Jingtong's ass and said good things.
But is it really what they think?
Apparently not.
The old people act from the heart!
After the sum of the previous few days, they realized that they saw hope in the body of the dove tree.
Why do old people twilight?
It's not because they're too old, it's because they can't seem to help at home, they don't seem to be useful anymore, and they're gradually being abandoned by the times...
It's as if the old objects and customs of the Buyi tradition are being forgotten...
I can't do anything, I can only chat and bask in the sun, and I am disgusted by my daughter-in-law, so I naturally look late.
But if these old objects and old customs can be brought to life, does it mean that these old guys can also be old and old?
I can also be in the last years, and I will be determined for a thousand miles!
The old people understood that their last hope was to fall on the young designer in front of them.
"Uncle Li, let's go in and have a look."
Bai Hengtong stood back beside Li Jinxing, smiled and said crisply.
Li Jinxing nodded and responded.
Walking to the door, he took a long breath and pushed the door with all his strength.
This time, no one bothered, only a 'crunch' sound was heard in everyone's hearts...
Then the penetrating sunlight gradually poured out through the crack in the door...
