On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the custom of the people in Sichuan is to go out for a walk. "Turn" is homophonic to "earn", and going out is to make money and transfer.
This year, the people of Checheshan have a new place to go, that is, to go around the highway under construction, which is the first highway in Sichuan-Zhongtong Guòlingzhou, which is said to lead to Guizhou.
Seven old men, Liu Xiaosi, Wu Mingjiang and a few old buddies made an appointment to see the highway under construction.
Along the way, many acquaintances and unknown acquaintances went to see the highway.
From a distance, you can see the high roadbed of the expressway, like a giant dragon coming through the mountains and mountains, coiling around the land in the middle of the river.
The three old buddies pointed to the highway they had never seen before, their eyes full of wonder and exclamation.
"If this road is built like this, you have to dig up several mountains, right?" Liu Xiaosi said.
"I'm afraid I can't, how much land does this thing have to occupy?" The true character of the seven old men and the crops, I feel that it is a pity that so many good lands have been occupied.
"This is a national project, the highway is so wide, you can run more than ten cars side by side." Wu Mingjiang felt that he had seen more than the Seven Old Men and Liu Xiaosi, and began to explain to them, "People say that the highway should be maintained at the same level, and it is necessary to open mountains and build bridges when encountering water, and the car can drive faster than an airplane on that road." ”
"You brag, it's not that people dare not stand on the highway, the car will drive over, and the wind will blow people away."
"You are really uninformed, you still dare to stand on the highway, why don't you stand on the head of the plane." The seven old men looked down on Liu Xiaosi's short-sightedness.
"Yes, pedestrians, motorcycles, and bicycles are not allowed on the highway. If you think about it, those cars are driving so fast, one car will hit it, and there will be a lot of other cars behind you, and if you stand on the highway, those cars will drive you into mud. Moreover, it is irresponsible to hit and kill people. Wu Mingjiang counted Liu Xiaosi again, as if he had seen a real highway himself.
Liu Xiaosi shut up and stopped talking, feeling like a frog that fell into a well, and had never seen a sky bigger than a dustpan.
Finally, I walked under the roadbed of the highway.
The high roadbed is as tall as a two-story building. Three men climbed from under the roadbed to the pavement with their hands and feet.
"Oh my god, it's so wide! This road surface must be more than ten feet! Liu Xiaosi walked from here to there step by step, measuring the width of the road.
There are young people on motorcycles speeding over the unfinished roads. They also took advantage of the fact that the road was not completed, and the motorcycle was able to come up and experience the feeling of speed.
"Brother Seven, it costs a lot of money to build a highway here, and the tickets must be as high as Er'e Mountain."
"That is, now that our country has money, this road is nothing more than a small construction. Didn't you read the news, people said that they would build a highway from Beijing to Taiwan. ”
"I really didn't expect that my generation would be able to see these new things."
"That's right, you see that now the cement roads have been built to every household. In the future, there will be tap water and natural gas, and this rural area is no worse than the city, and people in the city still want to run to the countryside. Wu Mingjiang said, "Wang Chunhua's second son still wants to go back to the countryside to repair the house." ”
"That's right, the air in our countryside is good, the food we eat, and the water we drink are clean." Liu Xiaosi said, "Mingqiu is not used to going back to his mother, and he is still clamoring to come back." ”
The seven old men snorted softly in their noses, you two ghosts are angry with me. said that the countryside is so good, but why don't the babies go out and don't want to come back. The number of people in the village is always getting smaller and smaller every year.
The seven old men looked at the highway stretching into the distance in front of him, as if he saw many people walking along the road to a distance he didn't know. People were in a hurry, and no one stopped to look at the fields and villages on both sides of the road.
The seven old men feel that they are lucky, they have endured so many hardships in their lives, and they have also witnessed all kinds of changes in this country.
When I was a child, being able to eat enough was the greatest happiness. The seven old men were glad that they had endured five ** years, and at that time, how many people starved to death in the village. The memories of those sufferings made their generation want to forget but they are unforgettable in their memories.
Later, with the reform and opening up, the fields were contracted to the households, and finally they did not have to worry about food and clothing. What has become of people's ideals again: "upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones." "At that time, the seven old men wanted to be able to live like that, and this life was really worth it.
Now every house in the village is a small building, and mobile phones have become a common thing. The TV, the washing machine, the refrigerator, these things he never thought of.
Now the dragon-like highway was at his feet. He didn't know how the world was going to change.
This life is getting better and better, and many unthinkable blessings have been enjoyed. What else is he not satisfied with?
But the seven old men felt empty in their hearts. The seven old men miss the old days very much, life is a little tight, and the family revolves around the responsibility field. Spring planting and autumn harvest, tired to send a few complaints, happy to sing a few mountain songs. In those days, although they were poor, they were also steady.
It's not that the seven old men are backward in their thinking and can't keep up with the pace of the times, but they want their children to be around them more and more when they get older. It is said that raising children to prevent old age, but now raising children and raising daughters is not preventing old age, and you have to rely on yourself when you are old.
If you can't move one day, you can wait for your own death.
On the first day of the new year, when I went out, I turned out to be idle with seven old men. Maybe it was the phone call that I didn't wait for last night that affected the mood of the seven old men.
Liu Xiaosi was still immersed in excitement, the kind of evil that he had never seen in the world: "You say, will Mingqiu come to me after the New Year." When you were sleeping at my house that day, she called and said she missed me. If this highway is built, it will be much more convenient for them to come from the provincial capital. ”
"She will come to you, and she will take you to the city, and you will become a city person. When the time comes, your baby's eyes will grow to the top of the skull, and you won't be able to recognize your seventh brother. "The seven old men glanced at Liu Xiaosi, and an old woman made you look like that, and you didn't look good.
"Seventh brother, you made fun of me." Liu Xiaosi heard the unhappiness in the heart of the seventh old man, "Seventh brother, I will become a city person who can also recognize you, you are my dear godbrother." ”
Wang Chunhua also said that after the New Year, she would put on the wedding wine. I said that they are all old men and old women, what kind of wine do you put on the table? Wu Mingjiang heard Liu Xiaosi mention that the old woman's heart was unbalanced, and he also said deliberately.
"If you want it, you can find another eight-lift sedan chair, invite a troupe, and see that you two old things can be good as the groom and the new girl. Two old things who don't want to push their faces. "This guy is really getting carried away.
"I really want it. Wang Chunhua's sons are willing to pay, saying that let's get married lively. I think you're a good idea. "Wu Mingjiang also deliberately angered the seven old men.
"Don't turn around, go home. You two dogs are deliberately angry with me. The seven old men turned and walked home.
Behind them, Liu Xiaosi and Wu Mingjiang squeezed their eyebrows and grimaced. The two old naughty children laughed like children.
