Chapter 21 The Guest
Zhou Yi's new house was finally built.
After discussion with the second uncle of the Zhou family, when the building was finalized, it was not designed as a duplex building.
At this time, the new house is located in the valley of the cave, standing by the lake, using the local traditional civil engineering structure, with hardwood as the skeleton and bluestone as the foundation and flesh attached.
The building is divided into two floors.
On the bottom layer, from both inside and outside, you can only see the bluestone wall, the clear light is faint, moist and tidy, and the cool is also full of popularity.
The second floor is basically made of wood.
Wooden and stone houses are difficult to carry too many heavy stones.
bright yellow timber, which is made into beams, is concealed between the shingles; It was drained into window grilles, and the sunlight was fragmented.
There are stairs inside and outside the small building, and it is an ancient hall house from the inside; To the left of the entrance of the hall is a wooden staircase leading upstairs.
I went upstairs and saw that the living room was spacious and bright.
The hall sits east to west, there is a fabric sofa on the east side, a thin-walled TV is hung on the wall on the west side, and there are two open windows on the north and south sides, so that you can clearly see the scenery of the mountains and rivers - they are the best window flowers.
Out of the living room, there are two bedrooms on the right; There is a small staircase next to the bedroom that leads to the bathroom.
On the left is a study.
The study sits south and faces north, there are bookshelves on the left and right, a large case in the middle, and some teapots and tea sets are placed on the case, and the "four treasures of ancient and modern scholars" are placed. Sitting facing the north and opening the window, it is the most open place in the whole valley, the place where the blue lake ends, the vast place of the mountains, and the place where the heaven, earth and mountains meet.
At this place, take a pot of tea, in the misty fragrance of the tea, in front of you, the heart will inevitably be all gone, the filth is gone, and the eyes are full of heart, only a lake of wind and moon, full of wind!
Behind the house is a bamboo forest, which is said to be a bamboo forest, but the locals call it "Bamboo Sea", which is by no means an exaggeration.
Who has ever seen a forest that is full of mountains and fields without end?
When the wind blows, the breath of heaven and earth arrives, and the sea formed by the whole green bamboo convergence, all of which are under this breath, bow their heads and raise their heads, and the sound of rustling is endless, which is the sound of heaven and earth.
In front of the house is the rippling and sparkling blue waves of the Pinghu Lake, and there are fish jumping out for a while, bringing a different kind of vitality and vitality to the Pinghu Mountain.
Near the front of the house is a cement floor. On weekdays, some farm goods are also dried on it.
On the field, there are several special flower and grass beds, planted with a plum, a golden cinnamon tree and a few green vines climbing frames; On the left and right sides of the field, there are two small utility rooms and storage rooms.
The gap between the ping and the house is not unequal.
It was a clear ditch half a meter wide and half a meter deep.
In the ditch, the verdant aquatic plants dance and greet the most clear and luscious spring water with the best attitude.
Among the aquatic plants, large and small swimming fish creatures are moving, and it is difficult for the eyes to catch small transparent shrimp and earthworms hidden in the mud; And the groups of small fish and the big crabs that show off their might, are all free and not afraid of others.
This small canal also overflows from the free cold spring, and most of it will eventually flow into the lake, and only a small half of the water, under the guidance of Zhou Yi, continues to pour into the depths of the fruit forest, contributing its own luscious nourishment to the Wanguo jungle.
Zhou Dahu, sitting upstairs and lying on the corridor in front of the house, opened his eyes for a long time, looked at the small wooden and stone building built in his hands, touched the carved wooden railing on the corridor, felt the mountain breeze, and left with a group of workers with some nostalgia.
When the workers saw this landscape and live in it, they were also envious.
They could never have imagined that under their own hands, they could create such elegant and beautiful things.
In other words, this beautiful object is not only handmade by craftsmen, but also formed in accordance with the creation of nature.
At this moment, at least in the eyes of these craftsmen, Zhou Yi is no longer a college student who has a neurotic disorder and runs back to suffer, but a premeditated, predetermined, pre-planned, loving, enjoying, and enjoying guys.
If it were possible, if I could live in such a place without having to live in hardship, no one would want to leave.
When this house is tiled, when Zhou Yi buys back the furniture and decorates the house, it does not mean that the house is built.
Perhaps, in a sense, the house has become, because it has achieved the function of making people comfortable and sheltering people from the wind and rain.
But in Zhou Yi's eyes, in the eyes of all the villagers, this house is just a half-finished product - don't you see that there is still a small piece of uncovered tiles on the roof?
It's as ugly as a bald beauty!
But this is deliberately left, and it is also necessary to keep the new houses in this place.
There is a word called "adding bricks and tiles", and in this piece of rural land, this is not just a thing on the ground, but a tradition that grows from the ground, grows into the crops, grows into the hearts of the villagers, and gradually flows into the blood.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, coinciding with the Dragon Boat Festival, the aunts and sisters of the Zhou family took a car and circled around the mountain road.
The magnificence of the mountains and rivers has not been seen for a long time, even Father Zhou, since work, has seen less.
The weather of the cave was originally familiar, but the cave in summer has become unfamiliar.
The sand and stone paved ramps are lined up to welcome the approaching crowd.
Zhou Yi stood at the foot of the ramp, waiting for the relatives who came to celebrate, took the heavy objects they had in hand, and led everyone to the mountain lightly.
It was still cold in the cave, so cold that the girls who had adapted to the gradually harsh weather shivered.
A few cousins laughed and ran out of the dark cave.
As soon as they came out of the cave, the huge sky light combined with the warm red sun, making everyone cover their eyes.
A black shadow was infinitely magnified in Zhou Ying's slightly narrowed eyes, and in her exclamation, she fell to the ground, and her pink tongue licked her white round face vigorously, licking all the "stolen goods" on her face.
After the initial panic and struggle, Zhou Ying soon played with the black dog in the midst of a lot of laughter, and she didn't even notice the wrinkles of her clothes and the spring light.
"Look at your clothes! It's such a big girl......" The aunt of the Zhou family had a straight face.
"Zhou Ying, you should also pay attention to a girl." Zhou's mother said.
Zhou's mother told Zhou Yi at home that his cousin has a symptom of "role loss", such an older girl, and she likes to be coquettish like a little daughter, and she doesn't know how to pay attention to clothes and men's and women's things.
It's not that she's not reserved like a dusty woman, but she seems to have forgotten something, or because she has been under the wing of her parents, she didn't expect that she was already so old, and some things can't be done like a child.
Zhou Ying's mouth pursed out, like hanging a soy sauce bottle, patted the dust on her body, and stood on the side of everyone, without saying a word, but everyone could see her "innocent blame" displeasure.
When facing Zhou Xiaohei, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were slightly fluttering with joy, as if they were reuniting old friends, a person and a dog squeezed their eyebrows from time to time, so interesting.
The other girls were far more attentive to their image than Zhou Ying, but their eyes couldn't stop glancing at the dogs jumping around.
Especially Zhou Xiaohua, who jumped into Zhou's mother's arms, not only accepted Zhou's mother's caresses, but also endured the "groping pig hands" of several girls.
Ah Huang is a rare and calm big dog.
The huge and powerful body and calm posture are liked by men. But the way big men express their liking, except for the occasional attention and praise, there is not much physical touch......
