Chapter 173: Harmony and Harmony
Talking and laughing all the way, I have come to the village.
The scattered population, the empty courtyard, and the group of people entering the village are particularly eye-catching, wild boars, beauties, and strong men...... There were many onlookers.
"It's like this in the mountains, everything that happens, it's like it's strange, but if you need help, it's all uninvited...... Haha, it's home! Uncle Wu was in good spirits, completely forgetting that he was still a wounded soldier, and there was still a trace of bruise oozing out of his arm at this time, Fei Fei handed Uncle Wu a tissue.
Uncle Wu raised his injured arm, and waved the bloody tissue with his other hand frequently to greet the people in the village.
"The third child, it's rare, the harvest is so big!" An old man with a gray beard, on crutches made of bamboo, speckled with spots.
Made of the legendary spotted bamboo?
Fei Fei pointed to the old man's crutches: "Feng, Banzhu." ”
"Look, there are special bamboo forests and bamboo seas everywhere...... Ah Mei feels incredible, as far as the eye can see, the bamboos all over the mountains, even in the cold winter season, can not feel a trace of the breath of slaughter, only a sea of bamboo, verdant, mottled land, and dyed by layers.
"Dad, when the wild boar is scraped, call the villagers in the village to eat wild boar at night." Uncle Zhu spoke loudly to the old man, afraid that the old man would not hear, and said to Jiafeng, "This is my father, Wu Zhu's grandfather." ”
Jiafeng asked: "Grandpa, I've seen it, I haven't seen it for a few years, it's still tough, it's over 90 years old this year!" ”
At this time, two elderly helpers came, one of them was a black old man, about 60 years old, wasn't he Wu Zhu's uncle? After many years, it is still instantly recognizable.
Why does Jiafeng know Uncle Wu, but he doesn't know Uncle Wu? It's a pure coincidence, it turned out that at school, Wu Bo worked in a state-owned enterprise in the county, and Jiafeng accompanied Wu Zhu there, so he was quite impressed.
And the last time I came to the village, Uncle Wu was in the prime of life, and the family burden was heavy, so he went out to work with Wu Zhu's father, so not only Uncle Wu had never seen it before, but even Wu Zhu's father, so far, has never seen me, this is the original and helpless life!
I saw an empty courtyard on the side of the road, a familiar house, that is Wu Zhu's house, and it was exactly the same as a few years ago, Jiafeng's thoughts were flying, and he returned to the summer vacation 6 years ago.
I remember that time, there was also a male classmate named Chen Ke who went with him, and he came to Wu Zhu's house to play together.
The weather in July, the mountain is unbearably hot, but the mountain is extremely cool, everyone is in the house, Chen Ke and Wu Zhu are learning from painting, and they also set up a table of cards, playing tractor upgrades, they are all students, naturally they are playing, happy, and comfortable.
Wu Mei and Xiaoxia in a group, Jiafeng and Xiaolin in a group; Xiaoxia is 16 years old, Xiaolin is only 14 years old, the two are Uncle Zhu's children, they were still in junior high school at the time, their parents went out to work, and only two sisters and brothers were at home during the summer vacation, cooking and eating by themselves, and occasionally eating at Wu Zhu's house.
Wu Zhu's father, in order to provide for the two sisters to go to school, has been working outside, rarely come back, every time I go to school to see the brother and sister is Wu's mother, a hard-working and simple rural woman, only to see the wall of Wu Zhu's house, the corner of the house is full of corn, potatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes and other things, their home is like a farmer's market or a local specialty warehouse, everything.
At this moment, Wu's mother made delicious food for everyone, and brought bowls of steaming soup powder, and Jiafeng used chopsticks to pull it out to see that it was full of poached eggs; Looking back, in the backyard of Wu Zhu's house, there are countless chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other animals screaming and flying.
It can be seen that Wu's mother is alone at home, and she must be very busy to do so many things.
The strange thing is that Wu's mother never asks her children to work, even the food is made, the two sisters are so happy, otherwise how would they have cultivated two college students, and one is engaged in art (art), you know, it costs a lot of money, it costs dozens of yuan to buy a piece of paper, and the general parents do not support it, and denounce it as "playthings and lose their minds", how many art stars have been strangled in the cradle, especially the children in the mountains.
A young man in his 20s on crutches came in, and an electric tricycle for the disabled was parked on the sun-grain flat in front of the door.
"Brother Hai, a rare capable person, can repair electrical appliances, clocks and watches, ......" Wu Zhu introduced, Wu Hai, the uncle's son, how smart he is, can do what ordinary people can't.
Then everyone stopped playing cards, and listened to Brother Hai, who was disabled and strong, tell you inspirational stories......
With a flick of the fingers, only the empty red bricks and black tiles, the decaying wooden fences, and the small spotted bamboos at the door of the house have grown strongly, reaching the clouds, the bamboo shadows are swaying, the wind is echoing, and the bamboo is gradually moving away.
"My father has some ears behind his ears, and he can't hear it, classmate." Uncle Wu shook his head and sighed, "The second brother's family, it's hard to explain ......"
Uncle Wu has retired a few years ago, and he doesn't live at home in the county, he only likes this piece of green mountains and green waters.
Another master, not under Uncle Wu, is about 70 years old, in his old age, but he is in good shape, with a white bath towel tied around his waist, holding two sharp knives, it can be seen that he is helping to slaughter wild boars.
Jiafeng handed cigarettes to the two elders and asked Uncle Wu, "Where is Brother Hai?" ”
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!
"Jiafeng, are you here...... Brother Hai was in front of him, the crutches were still there, but there was an extra round and jade girl supporting him, thinking that it was Sister-in-law.
"Brother Hai, people in the city, I'll go to your city to play another day!" He Diping quipped, "Go to the boss's house to eat." ”
"Brother laughs at me...... Welcome! Brother Hai shook hands with his brothers, "Mixed bowl of rice and ......"
Wu Bo said: "After I retired, his mother and I lived in the village, and they lived in the county town and opened an electrical appliance sales and repair shop...... Only our generation still cares about these slopes and bumps. ”
He Diping admired and envied Brother Hai: "Brother Hai, you are stronger than us!" ”
"Young people, they all go out to work, these houses, the mountains and forests are empty, it's a pity." The old master sighed and pointed to the row of houses in front, including new buildings with two or three floors, and the exterior walls were covered with beautiful tiles.
Jiafeng looked carefully, most of the doors were closed, there was no trace of people's residence, and there was no room for the lights, ready for the New Year's celebration.
The master said that the current population in the village, according to the land and forests, is more than 100 people; However, there are only about 10 families living in the village for a long time, less than half of which are mainly old and young.
Others either went to work in other places, or did business in nearby towns or county towns, settled down, etc., although they were separated from the village, they still had fields and houses in the village, and occasionally came back during the Chinese New Year.
The scenery is unique here.
Uncle Wu's house is a brick house more than 10 years ago, different from the mountain, the front is a wooden wall, the wooden door is newly pasted Spring Festival couplets, from the left "brothers, friends and brothers Gong Chun Mantang", on the right "father and son filial piety family portrait". The banner is "Harmony and auspiciousness".
I saw a girl, wrapped in red makeup, shy as a flower, leaning against the gate.
After fighting wild boars on the mountain, I went home to do a happy event, and welcomed the spring peach and willow green, and the double fly was better than the winged flower and the full moon, and it was a festive atmosphere full of spring!
