The so-called plan of the year lies in spring, this sentence may be a bit old-fashioned, but the truth is very clear. In most rural areas, spring is of great significance to them.

Due to the remote geographical location of Lingang Village and the fact that it cannot be opened to traffic, it is impossible to make money by relying on the vegetables or rice grown by itself, and at most it can ensure the basic life of the family. In this village, if you want to live a little better, the men in the family will choose to go out to work, and if you have some skills, they will go up to the mountains to catch some wild animals, such as hares, winter rats, snakes, etc., and then take them to the market to sell them for a good price.

Of course, the reason why Lingang Village is named after the word "forest" is because there is a large dense bamboo forest here, and the villagers will use bamboo to make some handicrafts or building materials in their spare time, which is the only economic lifeline of the whole village.

Erniu led Wang Erwu and Lin Xiaohan to the bamboo forest, and a villager took the initiative to greet them and enthusiastically introduced them to them.

"The two leaders have come to inspect the work?"

"Uncle, don't say that, we are just curious, come to visit."

The villagers smiled and said, "Our village is poor, there is nothing to see, and this forest is worth talking about." ”

"This bamboo grows really strong!" Wang Erwu looked at it, and almost all the mountains were full of bamboo forests.

"There are the most bamboos in our village, mainly the four seasons bamboo is the most common, and the spotted bamboo and Nanzhu are relatively less." Villagers introduced.

"Goddess, don't say it, this bamboo really has some similarities with me." Wang Erwu came up with a sentence.

"You mean, tall, messy hair, or single?" Lin Xiaohan glanced at Wang Erwu with disdain.

"Uh...... This Mei Lan Zhu Ju is called the Four Gentlemen, and at the same time, it is also called the Three Friends of the Year and the Cold with Mei and Song, hehe, meaning, stand upright and be humble, don't you mean me? ”

"Oh? I don't see this, I only know that this bamboo can be used as a broom, can also be used as a vegetable basket, you belong to the non-recyclable nature of garbage, but can be associated with these bamboo products. Lin Xiaohan said with a smile.

"Yes, the girls in the city are knowledgeable, in our village, every household will make brooms, as well as bamboo baskets, vegetable baskets and so on." The villager's words made Wang Erwu almost fall down the ravine.

"Uncle, you can't just look at the surface of this bamboo, do you know Brother Zheng Banqiao?"

The villager shook his head, "I rarely even go to the town, how can I know your eldest brother." ”

"That's not my own brother, I'm honorific him."

"Table? The table is also a brother. ”

Wang Erwu was helpless, Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain clearly, so he turned his head, "Erniu!" Uncle told you, this cousin Zheng Banqiao, phew...... No, this buddy, is a big painter, good at painting bamboo, and his old man has a saying that is very classic. ”

"Uncle, you slow down, I'm confused, what kind of age is he, you say it's your brother, and then you say the old man, you fool the child?" The second girl pouted, which made Lin Xiaohan laugh.

"Erniu, pay attention to politeness, when your uncle speaks, don't interject casually, this buddy, no, this old man, said, insist that Qingshan will not relax, and his roots are in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. ”

"Uncle, do you mean playing mahjong? I'm young and don't gamble. The second girl said innocently.

"What the hell? What does it have to do with mahjong? ”

"Didn't you keep saying, Meilan Zhuju, southeast, northwest?"

Lin Xiaohan was happy and said, "That's it, Erniu, don't listen to him, he's a bad person, don't be taught bad by him!" ”

Wang Erwu was a little crazy, "I just want to say that this bamboo's tough character is similar to me, is it so difficult to understand?" ”

"Other bamboos can't match you, but as for that spotted bamboo, it's a little similar to you, hehe." Lin Xiaohan said.

"Madara?"

"Uncle is stupid! This spotted bamboo is the kind with brown spots on the bamboo surface! Erniu glanced at Wang Erwu, and actually looked down on him.

"Hey! Goddess, you are a fatal blow to me, just my face, I can be the spokesperson of men's skin care products, where is the spot? To say this about me is inevitably to constitute slander! Wang Erwu was 10,000 unconvinced.

"This spotted bamboo has a beginning,** said, "Spotted bamboo a branch of a thousand tears", this sentence is the legend of ancient times, King Yao had two daughters, and later gave the two daughters to Shun as his wife. After the death of King Yao, Emperor Shun ascended the throne, and the "Sanmiao" tribe in the south harassed the border many times, and Shun Qin led a large army to the south. The army marched south to Cangwu, King Shun unfortunately died of illness, and the two women received the bad news, and wept bitterly, and kept crying until their eyes were bleeding and tearful. Teardrops sprinkled on the bamboo, dyeing the bamboo all over the body and becoming spotted bamboo. People name this kind of bamboo "Banzhu", also known as "Xiangfei bamboo". ”

"Goddess, are you hinting at me something? Haha, I don't want two wives, I'll be enough to have you! ”

"Get out!"

Wang Erwuyi ran away.

"Uncle, your manly husband is so afraid of his wife?" Erniu asked.

"What do children understand? Uncle, is this scared? It's called cherishing life! Wang Erwu's call was heard in the distance.

The second girl winked at Lin Xiaohan, "Yes, auntie, the teacher said that domestic violence can make people have a shadow, you see how pitiful Uncle he is......"

After some fighting, the group came to a small processing factory, which was actually a makeshift structure made of wooden stakes and straw.

Villagers introduced, "this is our bamboo processing base, the villagers will come here to do some small handicrafts when they are free, and on holidays, the villagers will take the scenic spot to sell, and they can earn some small money a year." This is also the only way for the villagers who stay in the village to make money, which is the source of income you mentioned. ”

Looking at the dazzling array of carved handicrafts, the two are also very curious, some are directly carved as a whole, such as Arhats, Buddha statues, zodiac signs, etc., and some are some small pieces of wood that need to be spliced, similar to the nature of tangrams, such as airplanes, cars, trains, etc., the two of them are amazed.

"Uncle, since there is such a good craft in the village, it should be a great business advantage, why is our village still so poor?" What Wang Erwu asked, naturally, was also what Lin Xiaohan wanted to ask.

"You may not know, people in our village have to eat, so most of the time to take care of the farmland, vegetable fields, to feed pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep, etc., so this craft, can only be done when idle, this set of carvings will take nearly a month, but do you think, how much can this set of carvings sell?" The villager points to a set of carvings of the zodiac signs on the table.

"This set, carved vividly, although not very exquisite, but also ingenious, plus this manual fee, should be sold for at least a hundred yuan, right?" Wang Erwu replied.

"A hundred pieces? No one will want to buy it, now people are pursuing freshness, but also asking for cheap, where will you care what handiwork is not handmade? Some people, while bargaining, also decided that this is made of machine, simple and rough, so this set can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan, which is amazing! ”

"So cheap? Then we don't want to sell it to them. ”

"Not for sale? After walking for hours to pick things out, who would want to pick them back without doing a penny of business? That's why I sold it alive......"

Wang Erwu and Lin Xiaohan glanced at each other, with mixed feelings in their hearts......

In a blink of an eye, the time of the experience passed quickly, the two said goodbye to the villagers reluctantly, Wang Erwu gave all the snacks brought to the village children's family, especially especially "took care" of Erniu, and sent her a beautiful fountain pen all the time, of course, Erniu must not know that this fountain pen is made of gold, which is worth a lot of money......

Wang Erwu didn't have anything else to say, because he knew this place, and he would definitely come again......

Lin Xiaohan, on the other hand, hopes that this Lingang Village can really be like the process of bamboo growth......

In fact, each bamboo, in the past few years, can only grow a few centimeters per year, but from the fifth and sixth years, they can grow at a rate of 30 centimeters per day, and can grow to a height of more than ten meters in just a few weeks. Before it grows wildly, bamboo has only done one thing, which is to extend its roots in the soil. In our lives, being a person, doing things, looking at people and things is not the same, but many people often can't survive the first few years.
