Chapter Seventy-Three: Spring Outing to Black Dragon Beach
Tiandi International Tai Sui Breeding Company organizes investors with an investment of more than 10,000 yuan to travel to Heilongtan after Qingming.
This kind of travel has practical considerations for their company. First, there are not so many tourists after the Qingming Festival, and the various expenses are cheaper than the Qingming holiday. The second is that Heilongtan is a monument in the hearts of Lingzhou people, and in the hearts of ordinary Lingzhou people, it is more well-known and close to some famous mountains and rivers such as Mount Emei and Mount Tai. The third is that Heilongtan is more than 10 kilometers outside Lingzhou County, and the cost of organizing such a tour is not large, but the influence is not small.
Among the villagers of Checheshan, Wu Mingjiang and Xiao Chili are on the list of tourists.
Little Pepper is like a minister who has been ordered by the Holy Order, preaching everywhere in the village, vigorously encouraging those villagers who have not invested to join in quickly, and asking those who have not invested much to invest more.
Liu Xiaosi and the seven old men were picking chili peppers in the chili field, and the little chili came over from afar.
"Little Fourth Dad, busy picking vegetables?"
"yes, Pepper, you've picked up the money, so happy?"
"Where am I going to pick up the money? You're the ones who pick up the money. When this fresh chili pepper arrives on the street, everyone rushes to ask for it! ”
"That is, the chili pepper planted by Lao Tzu can't be compared to ordinary people. It's those people who don't like Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu won't sell it to him if he gives money. The seven old men said angrily.
Xiao Pepper didn't pay attention to the seven old men, and said to Liu Xiaosi with a smile: "Little Fourth Dad, we are going to Heilongtan tomorrow for a trip, it is organized by the company, and it takes more than 10,000 yuan to be qualified for this." You see, the company I'm telling you isn't a lie. ”
"That is, there are so many experts and college students, it must be a regular company. However, I don't have that money, so I can only watch you play. Liu Xiaosi's words were filled with envy.
"What's so strange about Black Dragon Beach, it's that Lao Tzu and the stonemasons in the team have been working there for several years. Lao Tzu still has the certificate of award that the county magistrate sent me in the house now. ”
The seven old men remembered the time when they were repairing Black Dragon Beach. At that time, they were young like little tigers, and their hearts were full of energy. In such an environment of lack of materials and difficult conditions, they relied on simple tools and carried on their shoulders to build the largest reservoir in central Sichuan with hundreds of thousands of peasants.
Now Heilongtan is a well-known tourist area in the southwest region, and every drop of water in the Heilongtan Reservoir carries the youth and sweat of their generation. It was a hard but glorious time. Thinking about it now, it still makes the seven old men's hearts full of passion.
"Little Four, look at your doll's unpromising appearance, isn't it just going to Black Dragon Beach to play. When Brother Qi sells this batch of early chili peppers, we will also go to Heilongtan to play. Send more than 10,000 yuan to others, and take you out to play. If you give me 10,000 dollars, I'll take you to the President of the United States. The seven old men reprimanded Liu Xiaosi with a straight face.
"Seventh brother, look at your cowhide blowing. It's really killing you, and you still go to the United States, and you still meet other presidents, and you don't know which direction the United States is in. When the President of the United States asks you where you are from, you say that I am from Checheshan. The President of the United States said, "What kind of place is Checheshan, why don't I know it?" ”
"This dead turtle son is the president of the United States, Che Cheshan doesn't know, you are the president of the ball? Personally, get out of here for me, and let me be the seven old men for a few days. ”
The two old urchins sang and harmonized, and after speaking, they couldn't stand up with laughter.
"You two old things, I really can't tell you!" Xiao Pepper originally wanted to show off in front of the Seven Old Men, so that he could usually speak a little more restrained in front of him, but he didn't expect to be teased by the Seven Old Men.
Little Pepper had a cold face and staggered away.
"Little four, you still look at the doll, everyone is gone. You see that little pepper ass is whirlpooling, be careful to drown your doll. ”
"Seventh brother, you are an elder, how can you talk like this, you are going to learn from Gu Yigui and be beaten by the sole of your shoes."
"This kind of thing, entering the door of our Wang family is to corrupt the family style."
After a few days, after buying the first batch of chili peppers, the seven old men really took Liu Xiaosi to visit Heilongtan.
The Black Dragon Beach in late spring is as beautiful as a picture.
Since the Heilongtan Reservoir was repaired, the Seven Old Men have never been here again. Although Heilongtan is more than ten kilometers away from Lingzhou County, the seven old men have been busy with their children's family affairs all their lives, so how can they have those leisure to come out to play.
Now the seven old men have figured it out, while they can move around, they can play what they should play, and enjoy what they should enjoy. Don't be like Jinbao's old lady, who suffered all her life, and in the end she was burned alive. At this age, this man is like an oil lamp that is about to be burned out, and at some point a gust of wind will blow out the lamp of life.
After so many years, the builders of that year are already gray-haired and heavy-footed. And Heilongtan is like a girl who is just in her youth, showing her incomparable beauty in front of people.
The dam of the reservoir is still so majestic, like a man in the middle of the river with his head held high, stretching out his sturdy arms and holding a lake of clear water in his chest.
The mighty spring breeze blows on the sparkling water. The sky and clouds, the lake and the mountains, linger in the clear water of this lake, blend with each other.
I hired a pleasure boat, paddled a wooden oar, and paddled through the layers of water to the depths of the lake. And the man melted into the embrace of the lake, and became a drop of water in the lake, and a gust of wind on the surface of the lake.
The seven old men looked at the green and jade-like islands exposed on the surface of the lake, and could no longer find any traces of their labor. At that time, the footprints and sweat of hundreds of thousands of farmers have been submerged under this vast lake.
The seven old men are proud, this lake and clear water, this artificial miracle has his share of credit.
The seven old men handed over the oars to Liu Xiaosi, faced the wind, stood on the bow of the boat and opened their throats and sang.
In such a spring day, on such a water, such a small pleasure boat, such an old man, and such a bold and rough singing voice immediately became the scenery in the eyes of many tourists.
"Brother Seven, pay attention, someone is filming you with a camera."
"Haha, shoot it. Lao Tzu thought that he was also a hero back then, and he was also a person who had wandered the rivers and lakes. ”
"You're also swaying now, and the waves are so bad that the Heilongtan Reservoir can't fit you."
"How about it, Little Four, isn't it better to play with Brother Seven this time than with Little Pepper?"
The seven old men could afford to sing, kicked off their figure-eight feet, and sang the lifting horn again with their throats. The loud singing went straight to the sky, and even the water birds in the lake followed the song to the clouds, as if they were in a hurry to fly higher than the song.
"This is the trumpet of the workers, when they were repairing Heilongtan, they sang it like this." The tour guide with the tourists said to his tourists.
"Old man, sing well!" Someone shouted on a large pleasure boat, and then applause was heard.
Liu Xiaosi shook the oars and looked at the seven old men standing majestically on the bow of the boat, as if he saw his seventh brother when he was young.
They are all ordinary people, and they have also dedicated their youth and sweat to this country. Who will remember these ordinary laborers? Maybe they are just a drop of water in this lake, a grass on this shore, but with the years of prosperity and withering, no one needs to remember them at all.
