One hundred and seven chapters
Out of the first month, the temperature is rising significantly, some pedestrians on the road have taken off their thick down jackets, although the temperature is still below zero, but some young people still can't stop a desire and expectation for spring in their hearts, early on the body are changed into spring clothes, in the place where there is direct sunlight, the snow has already melted, although not so obvious, but the surface has begun to reveal its original color a little bit outward, this warm winter makes the pace of spring much earlier than in previous years.
At this time, the same is true in the north, not to mention the south, which is an evergreen climate all year round, and people can't feel the feeling of winter going to spring. Like thunderstorms, if they don't look at the calendar, they can't feel the change of seasons, because they come in late autumn, which happens to be similar to the climate in spring here, and the damp weather is the main theme here. The humid climate has brought a few conditions for plant growth, the camellia trees planted years ago have now grown up on the slopes of the mountain, especially the tea tree seedlings that have just broken through the soil in front of them, and they are full of vitality to reveal its two immature leaf buds, and it is as if seeing it is like seeing the spring full of hope and vitality in the northern hometown, and seeing a broad and beautiful future.
Early this morning, Uncle Han would call Lei Zhenyu, and just after breakfast, he was brought here by Uncle Han again. There had just been a light rain last night, and the delicate leaf buds were as transparent as if they had just been washed by the rain.
"Look at the earthquake rain, the tea seedlings and tea species here are natural in the mountains, and the vitality is strong, don't look at the soil planting, especially these tea trees that we carry up in the mountains, they can be picked after three years of storage, and this is the best tea to be processed." Uncle Han walked around the hillside full of tea trees with thunderstorms, and at the same time explained to him the knowledge of tea tree growth. His face was filled with an irrepressible joy and pride, which was on his prematurely wrinkled face, so that the loose and somewhat uncontrollable laughing muscles squeezed together the folds of the rough bath between his face and ears, just like the ravines of different depths on the hillside in front of him, every time he came here, Uncle Han couldn't help but repeat his words that were not enough.
"Uncle Han, why didn't you take advantage of such a good natural condition earlier?" Lei Zhen asked a little puzzled, before deciding to plant tea seedlings, Lei Zhenyu had such a question, this question also made him shake his idea of using natural ecology to download value tea trees, although Uncle Han repeatedly assured him that there was no problem, but most people still think that it is not feasible, after all, the yield of camellia is too low. If it weren't for the affirmation of the forestry experts in the province, I'm afraid there would be no tea mountain in front of me now.
"Don't mention it, the idea has been there for a long time, but where does the money come from?" Uncle Han sighed as he spoke. And again:
"Hey, when I was less than 20 years old, I wanted to change the appearance of this place and let the village live a rich socialist life, but decades have passed, people are old, but the appearance of the village has not changed, I have told my wife, I will be buried on the edge of the ropeway when I die, I will be buried in the soil to see that the village can change one day." Speaking of this, Uncle Han's voice was a little choked.
"I didn't expect that a young man like you would realize my dream of decades as soon as he came." Uncle Han finally said. Looking at Uncle Han, who was only in his sixties, was as old as a person in his seventies in the mainland city, coupled with his dress, as well as the folds of his face, Lei Zhenyu, who had always felt that he was very hard-hearted, couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, he was moved by Uncle Han's spirit, and both of them fell into silence unconsciously. By this time, the morning fog had cleared, and the sun on the plateau shone brightly on the mountains of early spring with its characteristic heat. The shadows of Uncle Han and Lei Zhenyu also blended with this brilliant sunshine. After a while, looking at this vibrant tea plantation, Lei Zhenyu said to Uncle Han again:
"Uncle Han, another month the machine will be installed and commissioned, the county said that it would help us contact the tea source and I don't know how it is going now, I see you and Bicheng are working hard, these two days in the county around the cottage to run, we set down last year, and the county co-ordinated the tea plantations are verified, if there is no problem, we will start to buy normally."
"Zhenyu, you don't say I still want to tell you, the township has called, the county has made instructions to our surrounding tea farmers tea are assigned to us, and the price is also very reasonable, Zhenyu Township is only waiting for us to say a word, open the door to deliver, this year's rain is heavy, the merchants outside the mountain are not much, we are very close here, and the tea farmers are also very willing to send it to us." Uncle Han said happily.
"Uncle Han, everything is going to be fine, your dream, no, our common dream is about to come true, let's look forward to this day together."
"Okay, Zhenyu, on this day, when everything is settled in the village, let's handle the marriage of Hongxia, Bicheng and Zi Xiao Yuling, let them add some joy to the village, do you say okay."
"Haha, Uncle Han is in a hurry, I want to find a little bit to be a master." Lei Zhenyu said with a smile to Uncle Han. He didn't know what Uncle Han really thought in his heart.
"Haha, Zhenyu, whatever you say, it's time to get married, as the saying goes, start a family, isn't it." Uncle Han said with a smile.
"Zhenyu, I think Miss Xiaoxia is also good, you are also a good match, if not, you can just get married with Bicheng and them." After speaking, the old man laughed.
"Let's go, come to my house to eat at noon, and I will come too, so I'll go back and prepare first."
"Uncle Han, don't bother, I'll just go back and call Bicheng to go over, don't prepare me."
"What's the trouble with this, today is February 2nd, February 2nd Dragon is raising its head, it's an auspicious good day."
"Today is the second of February." Lei Zhenyu said with some surprise.
"Isn't it, don't we attach great importance to this festival in the mainland, say okay, Zhenyu, you must come, I'll go back and prepare first." After Uncle Han finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and regardless of whether Lei Zhenyu agreed or not, he left with his hands behind his back, and he was still in a hurry.
Uncle Han didn't go to Hongxia's house when he returned home, so he asked Aunt Han:
"Where's Hongxia?"
"I asked Hongxia to find Zhenyu."
"Hey, wife, why are you still so confused, it doesn't matter if you are confused, you have to take Hongxia with you, I have said it to you a few times, Zhenyu is of the same nationality as me, our customs are different from yours, it is impossible for him to walk with Hongxia, you will harm Hongxia by doing this, and it is likely to ruin the big things in the village." Uncle Han said a little anxiously, and then went to his and Aunt Han's house.
Since Lei Zhenyu and Tan Xiaoxia's love affair was known by Hongxia and Aunt Lao Han, especially Aunt Lao Han began to be anxious, and kept giving her daughter ideas every day, asking her daughter Yue Hongxia to find a way to get close to Lei Zhenyu, hoping that she could cause a misunderstanding between Lei Zhenyu and Tan Xiaoxia, let them break up as soon as possible, and then slowly alienate the relationship with Wei Bicheng, and then wait for the opportunity, once there is an opportunity, take Lei Zhenyu in her arms. A few years ago, Aunt Han found out that Wei Bicheng had moved out of the house, and she knew that there was a problem in the relationship between her daughter and Wei Bicheng, especially in the two days of the Spring Festival, Wei Bicheng also left after eating and never went to Hongxia's room. Aunt Han is more and more sure that the relationship between her daughter and Wei Bicheng may be over. This made Aunt Han very happy, in the past, she never regarded February 2 as a festival, and Aunt Lao Han began to show up several days in advance, and she was optimistic about today's day. She doesn't want to act now after waiting for Lei Zhenyu and Tan Xiaoxia to have a misunderstanding, she wants to help her daughter act in advance, she wants to leave Lei Zhenyu at home tonight. Of course, Aunt Lao Han didn't tell her daughter Yue Hongxia about this plan, let alone Uncle Han. Things are always so coincidental, last night Uncle Han discussed with Aunt Lao Han, asking her to get some delicious food today to bring them to Zhenyu for the holiday. Uncle Han's thoughts are in line with Aunt Han's meaning, as soon as the morning dawns, she began to be busy, chickens, fish, bacon, and fresh meat are all brought out, and the end of the stream is more solemn than the Panwang Festival and the Spring Festival. Uncle Han saw that Aunt Lao Han was so busy and didn't think about anything, and he was very happy.
"There are so many good things after the New Year, and every Spring Festival will be like this every year in the future, and every family will have endless meat." Uncle Han left after speaking, and Aunt Han didn't ask where to go, she thought that she was going to the construction site of the tea factory, she didn't know that Uncle Han had to go to the mountain to see the camellia seedlings in the rain these days. Seeing that Uncle Han was far away, Aunt Lao Han hurriedly said to her daughter:
"Hongxia, pack up and go find Zhenyu, let him come to the house early for the holiday." After saying that, he brought two finger-sized tea bags to his daughter.
"Hongxia, do you see it, these are the two cups of tea that Grandma wrapped for you, remember, you should put this bag in the cup of Zhenyu before eating." As she spoke, Aunt Han handed a paper bag wrapped in white paper to Hongxia. Then, he handed another red paper bag to his daughter. To continue:
"This is in the cup of the earthquake rain after the meal, listen to it, you must remember, if you put it wrong, it will turn things back. Did you hear me? ”
"Grandma, what do you mean by this, can you make this clear?" Yue Hongxia asked as she weighed the two paper bags of different colors in her hand. Because her mother hadn't told her about tea bags before.
"This is our Yao family's fan tea, once people drink it, they will be delirious, and everything will listen to you, so that you and Zhenyu's matter will be done tonight, and the king of Pan will bless you, go quickly, you must remember."
"Grandma, I've thought about it, I don't want to do it anymore, what will I do, and the earthquake rain will blame us." Yue Hongxia said with some hesitation.
"Hongxia, don't think about it so much, if you miss this opportunity, there will be no more, I begged the king of Pan, and he agreed to my request. Panwang said that no matter who it was, as long as he entered Yaozhai, he would follow the rules of Yaozhai. ”
"Grandma......"
"Don't think about it, let's go." Looking at her reluctant daughter, the old aunt pushed her out of the door.
"Go early, don't let the waist sister surnamed Tan take Zhenyu away again." In this way, under the urging of Aunt Lao Han, Yue Hongxia went to find Lei Zhenyu with two bags of fan tea.
Uncle Han came to the house and opened a small yellow wooden box placed on the kang, he rummaged through it and found two small medicine bottles, picked it up and looked at it, and did not find that the contents of the bottles had decreased significantly, so he put the bottles back in place with confidence.
"This old woman, it's okay." Uncle Han muttered.
It turns out that this is a kind of ancestral drug in Yaozhai, and the people of Yaozhai call it tea to confuse people's ears and eyes. It is specially used for hunting and foreign enemies. Only one pack can be used when hunting, and there is no need for two packs, but two packs must be used for human use, which is also to prevent the use of drugs by bad people on people's bodies will cause misery. The ancestors invented the method of using two packets, once the drug was obtained by foreign enemies, they did not know that the two packs should be used before and after meals, and only one pack would have no effect. Therefore, the use of this medicine is only known to those with high prestige in the village. Just now, when talking to Lei Zhenyu on the tea mountain, Uncle Han somehow thought of this issue, she was afraid that Aunt Han would use this method to fascinate Lei Zhenyu at home tonight, so she hurried back.
Watching Uncle Han leave with his hands behind his back, Lei Zhenyu's heart not only added some feelings to Uncle Han's words just now; In order to change the dream of changing the poor and backward appearance of the village, he can give up the modern and superior life in the big city of Beijing, and stay in this closed mountain for decades with such a belief, and dedicate his life here, which is not something that anyone can do. Before this, Lei Zhenyu had heard the story of Uncle Han, but he didn't have such a feeling today. When I heard Uncle Han say that he had never changed the poverty of the village in his life, he looked at the new village he had renovated and the tea saplings full of hope, and Lei Zhenyu's feeling became more and more profound, and he also had a new understanding of the purpose and meaning of his coming. At this moment, his previous superficial, even somewhat curious and adventurous thoughts, gradually became serious in his heart, and he felt that he was not only going to use the money earned by his father using some "policies" of reform and opening up to simply do something to strengthen the village and enrich the people, in other words, the real idea in his heart at that time was to take the money of the Lei family for the people and for the people. And now, he suddenly realized the true connotation of Deng Xiaoping's original sentence: "Let some people get rich first, and then lead everyone to embark on the road to prosperity together".
