Wudu Town

Don't look at the mottled and dilapidated city walls of Wudu Town, but it has a long history. It can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Before the Republic of China, the geographical location of Wudu Town was very special, located in the south of the Wujiang River. The southwest of Wudu Town is Shifeng County, which is the nearest riverside port in Shifeng County. Before the Qing Dynasty, Wudu Town belonged to Shifeng County, but it was assigned to Guojiang County during the Republic of China.

From Guojiang County, you can take a ferry down the river to Wudu Town, the time is relatively fast, and you can reach it in about an hour. It's just that the water flow from Jiangxian County to Wudu Town is relatively turbulent, and the river surface is more dangerous, and ships often sink.

But even so, because Shifeng County is an inland county, most of the materials need to rely on the wharf of Wudu Town, so Wudu Town has become an important water port. Businessmen and travelers also have to take a cameo from here to go to C City or to Xiangzhou. So at that time, Wudu Town was full of traffic, the market was prosperous, and all industries were prosperous.

It was only later in the Republic of China period that roads were slowly built, and the danger of the river in Wudu Town gradually decreased. After the establishment of Huaguo, the road transportation network around Wudu Town was gradually formed. Due to the high safety of the road, the boat business at the ferry port gradually declined, and it slowly became the appearance of Wudu Town today.

Wudu Town is divided into playing and playing.

The upper field is built on the slope according to the mountain, and it is long. The pavement is made of bluestone slabs piece-by-piece, and is about three to four meters wide. On both sides are shops and residential buildings, most of which are walled houses with bucket boards. The shape of the arches and hanging columns of the house is rich in changes. There are also some riding corridors on both sides of the street, which retain the old appearance of the wind and rain corridor eaves during the Republic of China. In the past, only the ferry port was quite lively, and the street occasionally passed by by slender men and boatmen, which seemed unusually quiet. But this tranquility is in harmony with the old appearance of Wudu Town, making people feel a faint sense of comfort and leisure.

Today is the day of the rush, and that faint comfort and leisurely are broken. People come and go, mules and horses pass through, and it is very lively.

Ye Qiu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes with nostalgia, and his heart was full of thoughts.

"Yongzi, Yongzi, we are here." Qin Dazhen suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

Tang Weiyong heard his wife's cry from a distance and hurriedly ran over. He was dressed in a pale green military uniform and looked very energetic. quickly glanced at the few people standing beside the old lady Qin Dazhen.

Lu Jianbin and Tang Guizhi knew him, and Wei Hongzhi had seen him from afar before, and there was only one beautiful girl he didn't know. But Tang Weiyong heard that Brother Shanzi of Uncle Dahe's family in the next room married a daughter-in-law, so he should be the person in front of him. Thinking about his mother's purpose of letting him get food on the street this time, Tang Weiyong's face was slightly hot, and he quietly glanced at Wei Hongzhi again.

Wei Hongzhi felt Tang Weiyong's gaze, and her face was hot. Although I knew that I was here to see each other, I still felt embarrassed. But this is a lifetime thing, Wei Hongzhi held back her shyness and looked at Tang Weiyong. I saw that he was about four feet five tall, his appearance was like Aunt Qin, and he was born more delicate. However, Wei Hongzhi has nothing to pick about in this regard, she is more concerned about Tang Weiyong's work. Wei Hongzhi slowly lowered her head and measured it in her heart.

Seeing the situation here, Ye Qiu knew that today was not the time to have a good talk with Wei Hongzhi. So he found an excuse to buy something for his family, pulled Tang Guizhi and turned around and left.

"Wait for me." Lu Jianbin glanced at Tang Weiyong and frowned slightly. is about the same height as Wei Hongzhi, and he is still a boy and a girl, he feels that he is not worthy of Wei Hongzhi. But although he called Sister Wei Hongzhi, he didn't have a position to speak. didn't want to look at the blockage in his heart, Lu Jianbin saw Ye Qiu leaving, and hurriedly followed.

After Qin Dazhen saw a few people leaving, she suddenly said that she was a little tired from walking. Let Tang Weiyong accompany Wei Hongzhi to buy things.

When Tang Weiyong and Wei Hongzhi heard this, they both knew that they were getting along with each other. As a result, the two were even more uncomfortable. Qin Dafen looked at this appearance, but his heart blossomed.

Ye Qiu pulled her younger sister from the beginning to the end of the field, and after Lu Jianbin caught up, he began to explain endlessly.

The next field is built along the Wujiang River, because of the proximity to the water wharf, the commercial atmosphere of the next field is stronger, and the temples such as Wangye Temple and Yuwang Temple are also mainly distributed in the lower field. There is also a combination of Chinese and Western houses built in the Republic of China period, which is rumored to be the house of the Qin family, the richest man in Wudu Town at that time, which can be regarded as a mansion at that time. Thinking of the identity of her mother-in-law Zhou Ju, Ye Qiu was silent. The younger sister listened with relish.

The Qin family's house is surrounded by a residential area, in addition to the Qin family's house, there are also many blue brick courtyards with courtyards, and the wind volcano walls are stacked on top of each other, showing the prosperity of Wudu Town in those years.

When Ye Qiu saw the supply and marketing cooperative, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled his sister over, but found that many people were rushing to buy cloth.

It was rayon that was snapped up, and at that time this kind of fabric could be used without cloth tickets, but there were not many of them. So on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Ye Qiu also grabbed some points, but looking at the crowd of black pressure, he was deflated.

In addition to rayon, the supply and marketing cooperatives will also ensure that the cold cloth, card cloth, labor cloth, etc., but they must be supplied by ticket. There are also some scraps of material, which will reduce a little cloth ticket. Some families will also buy some sewing and patching, which is more cost-effective.

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu remembered what he heard, that is, someone was disliked by many women on a blind date because of his tall appearance, because it turned out to be a Fei Bu ticket. Therefore, Tang Weiyong's height of about 4 feet 5 will seem to be very short in the future, but in this era, he will not be disliked because of this.

Soon the rayon was snatched up, and the crowd slowly dissipated.

Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi entered the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lu Jianbin followed, walked around the counter, bought tooth powder and a bar of soap, and other bits and pieces of daily necessities.

Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi went straight to the fabric counter.

"Sister-in-law, don't buy cloth." Tang Guizhi grabbed Ye Qiu a little anxiously, she thought it was because of her words in the morning, which made Ye Qiu think that she wanted clothes, "My clothes can still be worn." ”

"Not just yours, but also nieces and nephews. I was in a hurry at the wedding, and I haven't given a meeting gift yet. This is the custom of our S City, don't stop me. ”

When Tang Guizhi heard this, his face flushed slightly, thinking of his eldest brother's nephew who was still bare-assed, and was silent.

I watched a lot of new styles of clothes appear on the counter. Woolen tunics, velvet threads, woolen sweaters, etc., are also brightly colored. Ye Qiu thought about the time, it seemed that the four people who had set off this catastrophe above were taken care of. This means that this era is coming to an end. Thinking of this, Ye Qiu's heart became brisk, and the time to show his skills was not far off.

Ye Qiu counted the people in the family, and after spending all the cloth tickets, it was only enough for the clothes for the second elder, the younger sister, and the nephews and nieces. The eldest brother and sister-in-law and the third brother and sister-in-law can't do it. However, it is not rude not to do it for them, after all, they are brothers and sisters-in-law, so Ye Qiu no longer thinks about it. I bought tooth powder, three bath soaps, and a little snack and sugar from C-City. The three of them left the supply and marketing cooperative.

Ye Qiu kept calculating the time, thinking that soon Wudu Town would be the first demonstration site for the subdivision of fields in City C, and all kinds of farm tools would be in demand at that time. So she took the iron pot industrial voucher issued to her by the village and went to the iron shop, and exchanged four sickles, four hoes, and a small iron rake for one pot.

"Tut-tut......." Lu Jianbin spent a lot of money, but Ye Qiu actually exchanged a pot for such a little thing, and he couldn't help but speak, "Why are you changing these useless things, now you are using collective things anyway, why do you have to buy them yourself?" ”

Tang Guizhi was also a little distressed, it was a pot.

Ye Qiu has planned it, the pot at home is enough, but the farm tools are not good. Not everyone in the village has iron farming tools. After the land was divided into households, the things of the collective were also divided, but not everyone could get those iron farm tools. If you don't have farming tools, how will you farm when the time comes?

"I've got a plan, so watch it." After speaking, Ye Qiu threw the iron rake to Lu Jianbin to hold.

"Hey, Comrade Ye Qiu, isn't it a bit natural for you to summon me?" Lu Jianbin pretended to be displeased.

Looking at the handsome young man who was giggling all the way with a cold face, Tang Guizhi was frightened, and reached out and hurriedly prepared to take it back, but was pulled by Ye Qiu.

I saw Ye Qiu smiling, "Comrade Lu Jianbin, are you older than the two of us?" ”

Lu Jianbin nodded.

"Are we class compatriots?"

Lu Jianbin nodded again.

"Class compatriots should help each other, what's more, you are older than me and my sister, you should be the elder brother, and the younger sister should let the elder brother do something, isn't it a matter of course?" After speaking, he turned around and pulled Tang Guizhi away.

When Lu Jianbin heard this, his eyes widened, is this okay? looked at the two girls who ran away. Lu Jianbin suddenly caught up with Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi, and then beside the two, he hummed a love song that had been circulated in the local area before, "Sister, sister... Walking in front, my brother in the back, my feet keep going... Pursue...... Yo. Sister, sister... Walking in front, my brother in the back, my heart is puffing... Jump...... Oh. ”

Although the voice was low, some people still heard it, and the people on the street looked at Lu Jianbin sideways, with contempt in their eyes, and some of them concealed their anger, and there were people who molested women in broad daylight?

The younger sister Tang Guizhi stood between Ye Qiu and Lu Jianbin , and after hearing Lu Jianbin 's lyrics, she hurriedly lowered her head, her whole face was ashamed like a red apple.

Ye Qiu was very afraid that Tang Guizhi would have any thoughts about Lu Jianbin, and seeing that Lu Jianbin really dared to say anything, he said with a straight face, "Sing again, I told you to play a hooligan." He said that he was going to take back the things in Lu Jianbin 's hand.

Lu Jianbin hurriedly took a step back, "Don't don't, just kidding, joking." He felt that Ye Qiu was not such a rigid person, why was he so unteased?

Ye Qiu knew that Lu Jianbin was joking, and he didn't really get angry with Lu Jianbin because of this, but he was angry that he didn't care about the occasion and person, looked at his sister who was still embarrassed, sighed slightly in his heart, and pulled her forward.

Lu Jianbin touched his nose and followed.
