There are two villages in Lixiang Township of Qingping Town, one is called Shangchen Village and the other is Xiachen Village.

Once, Lao Qiu's family, who lived in Shangchen Village, was the richest family in the local area. They have only one daughter in their family, and they have been laughed at for being a desperate family in those years. Fortunately, Lao Qiu, who doesn't like to talk much, is honest and kind, and he can help whoever has something in the village, and as time goes by, those cool words gradually become less.

Good people have good rewards, and later the girl was very competitive and was admitted to the university and became the only college student in the village. The legend of a golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest lasted for a year or two, and I heard that the golden phoenix was married, and her husband was the son of a wealthy man in the city.

When the son-in-law came to the door for the first time, the luxury car couldn't get in, so he could only be wronged to take a tricycle. After understanding the pain of difficult mountain roads, he paid for the construction of a big road, which was the yellow mud road by the river. In the past, this road could accommodate a small tricycle at most, and an oncoming bicycle had to lean on the edge of the slope to avoid letting the tricycle pass first.

Now that the road has been widened, sand and gravel have been brought in to fill in the potholes, and it has become smooth and smooth.

After the opening of the road is convenient, there are often cars pulling sand and mud passing by, and after a long time, the sand and mud completely cover the road surface, resulting in the phenomenon that the breeze blows now, and the dust rolls on the road immediately.

Lao Qiu's name is Qiu Guangming, a retired soldier, he is the only foreigner in Shangchen Village, and his lover is Chen Aidi, a villager in this village. Because there were no elderly people in his family, Chen Aidi's parents were seriously ill at home at that time, and the brothers were hanging out and working hard, and no one wanted to take care of them at home.

Chen Aidi couldn't bear to leave his old and sick parents and marry himself, so Qiu Guangming moved all his belongings.

This is not a son-in-law, and the child who gave birth to the same surname is Qiu.

As a veteran, Qiu Guangming paid the most attention to abiding by the law, and responded to the country's call to give birth to only one child, and then he went to have a sterilization.

The village is a bit far from the town, with mountains and rivers, nice surroundings, and a daily bus trip. Because the roads have been built, it is more convenient to enter and exit, and some families have gradually become surplus in the past two years.

Qiu Guangming's family is not simple, the son-in-law's family is rich, and the adobe house of the father-in-law's family was demolished and rebuilt into a blue brick house. In the past two years, several families in the village have imitated and built new houses, and some people in the neighboring village have built a Western-style villa, which has dimmed the light of Lao Qiu's family.

Later, I heard some young people who went out to work say that the daughter of the Lao Qiu family was divorced and had a hard time, and all kinds of envy in the past were replaced by pitying eyes. Thinking, alas, what about good people, in the end, they still have to be extinct!

Of course, Qiu Guangming's personality is respectable, and their former son-in-law has made contributions to the villagers, who know how to be grateful.

Until one day, Lao Qiu's family had a little more, and everyone's attention and topics gradually increased.

And that little bit is Qiu Bao.

In the early morning, the countryside is fresh and peaceful.

Qiu Bao, who was still combing his balls, was wearing a pair of grass-green bloomers and an off-white short-sleeved shirt. In front of her was a low wooden table with textbooks on it. Occasionally, a cool breeze came, and the spread out textbooks were lifted page by page, and there was a loud bang.

The little girl's chin rested on the table, her eyes closed like a listless little milk cat, and she quietly listened to the sound of the summer breeze, her long and curled eyelashes fluttering slightly.

The guardian dog lay beside her and closed his eyes, and he obeyed the orders of the old master, no matter when and where, there should be no distance of three meters from the little master.

At this time, the people in the village went to work in the fields, and some mothers-in-law were left at home to feed the pigs, cook and do housework, and the surroundings were very quiet, and a few dogs barked from time to time. Many families in the village have dogs, and they are free-range, and the first thing the villagers see when they walk out of the door is a dog, not a person.

They were allowed to roam the village in order to prevent thieves and abductors from entering the village.

Qiu Bao remembers that on her third night here, she ran into a thief in the village. In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the noise outside.

Two thieves entered the village to steal chickens, and it happened that the family did not have a dog, so they successfully stole a cage, only to be found by several night dogs and chased into the lime pond. It's a shame that the lime pond has been abandoned for a long time, otherwise they would have to shed their skin if they don't die.

Since then, the few families in the village who did not have dogs have all bought two puppies and raised them. Now it is the whole people's dog to guard the home, strangers from outside do not know the bottom of the village, suddenly heard a dog bark the whole village boiling, almost all have experienced what it is like to be chased by a team of dogs.

The villager's habit of raising dogs was caused by his grandfather Qiu Guangming, who once adopted a disabled retired military dog. Don't look at it with a crippled leg, when Lao Qiu's family was the most surplus, there were a few thieves who entered his house, but there was no need for grandpa to go out, this military dog alone was enough to scare them out, and now they trembled when they saw a dog on the street.

Lao Qiu's family even had a dog like this, and the young people in the village were not convinced and raised it. They are very attentive. Teach, hoping that one day my dog will be better than Lao Qiu's.

The military dog died of old age, and he left his owner with two strong puppies, which are now Little Black and Little Wolf. Xiao Hei is the boss, with a calm temperament, so quiet, and he is absolutely motionless when he can lie on his stomach; The little wolf is very active, and a small mosquito can chase the enemy for a long time as if it flies by, and it has a lot of fun.

Qiu Bao didn't figure out what was going on on the first day he woke up, and he was chased by the little wolf of his grandfather's house who was not very good-tempered. Fortunately, both dogs were strictly trained by their grandfather, and they did not dare to bite without his orders.

Grandma's big blue brick house is two stories high, sitting north to south, and a high blue brick wall encloses a large courtyard. The walls of the courtyard are very high, and there are a lot of broken glass sticking to them. On the left side of the main house is a bathroom and toilet, and near the courtyard door is a bright and airy kitchen; On the right side of the main house is a utility room, in which there are several large earthen jars for food.

Next to the utility room, there is an open space to build a shed to raise chickens.

There are several persimmon trees planted in the yard, the canopy is open and the branches are luxuriant, there is an octagonal well next to a tree, the probe looks inside, the bottom is not visible, but the well water is very sweet. There are two bamboo stools in front of the chicken shed, and my grandfather usually sits there quietly weaving bamboo stools and bamboo baskets, or carving wooden stools and wooden tables.

This is the work he relies on for a living, and his grandfather is a carpenter.

When he was young, he mainly farmed, and he had to order and carve furniture to do it, in order to earn more money. Later, plastic stools and other things poured out one after another, this kind of handmade work in the market for a long time, plus the daughter married well, life is not worried, grandpa gave up this craft.

In recent years, this work has been introduced to the market as a traditional handicraft, and one of my grandfather's old customers came to him to cooperate with him to open a shop in the town, and only then did he regain his craft to pass the time.

Grandpa's craftsmanship is a big sign in the store, and he doesn't have to move his nest, he just does it in his yard. The boss asked someone to bring the materials, and after he finished doing it, he pulled it to the store for processing, and then sold it at a high price.

Yesterday, I only delivered a batch of goods, a mahogany sofa and a bamboo couch, a cool bed, and several delicate and small stools, etc., and my grandfather got a considerable income.

The expensive timber is provided by the boss, but the bamboo material is homemade. The family ran out of materials, and my grandfather planned to go up the mountain to cut some bamboo. As for Qiu Bao, she was ordered by her grandfather to review her homework at home, and she was not allowed to go out to steal chickens and touch dogs, otherwise a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots would be indispensable.

More than half of the summer vacation has passed, and after the start of school, she has to study in the primary school in the township.
