Chapter 188 Looking for relatives in the mountains

After returning from the banquet of Ou Jie and Ruan Lei in Nancheng, the focus of work shifted from Ou Jie Ruan Lei to Chen Weizheng and Liu Yi, and their wedding was half a month later.

Because of the fatigue of the wedding, Ruan Lei's pregnancy reaction became more and more serious, and when she came back to Qingshan, she went to the county maternity and infant hospital for examination and recuperation. looked at Liu Yi apologetically and said: I don't think I can help you much like this. Liu Yi said: There is Li Jing and a group of people, and they are very busy.

Before Liu Yi got married, he asked Chen Weizheng to help him do one thing, that is, to accompany her to the most remote township in Qingshan, which was Liu Yi's grandmother's house. The farthest township in Qingshan is called Baobao Township, 70 kilometers away from the county seat, in 2001 only through the shuttle, although there was a road before, but because it was too dangerous, only some small vans ran passenger transport, until today, it is still a gravel road, not hardened. Liu Yi's grandmother's house is even farther away, more than 10 kilometers from the village to the village, and there is a road that can be walked by a walk-behind tractor, and even a minibus cannot pass.

This township is very distinctive, incompatible with Qingshan County, first of all, the language is inconsistent, the people of Qingshan County can only communicate with it in Chinese when they go to Baoshi Township, and the people of Baoshi Township do not speak Guyi's official dialect, their language is divided into three points like Shaoguan Tuhua, two points like Hakka dialect, and some wingman accents. The people of Baobao Township believe that they are a unique nation, an ancient nation that migrated from Nanyue, although the official nationality is set as the Han nationality, in private they do not recognize themselves as the Han nationality, they think that they are the slang people, they are the descendants of Mrs. Xian thousands of years ago, and avoid disasters in the mountains and mountains.

If the man has a crush on a certain woman, after both parties agree, the man comes to the woman's house, builds a grass house one or two kilometers away from the village, opens a piece of land, grows grain and vegetables, raises chickens and fish. Without any help from outsiders, let yourself survive normally, so that you can get the woman's approval and agree that the man will have a tryst with the woman within the specified time, until the woman is pregnant, and then let the man marry the woman and go home.

Liu Yi's parents are different, they are classmates, classmates in Qingshan Middle School in the eighties of the last century, after graduation, they did not take the university entrance examination, but both went to work in other places, and formed a pair of working couples. After getting married, Liu Yi's grandmother's family was very unfriendly to the couple who got married without an appointment, and directly drove Liu Yi's father out of the village and let him get married outside to farm. Liu Yi's mother felt that the family's approach was very problematic, and there were still children waiting to be fed in Longshan, so she left her hometown in Baobao Township with her husband and never returned to her hometown until she died.

After Liu Yi's parents had an accident, his grandfather asked someone to send a letter to Liu Yi's grandfather, asking them to deal with the aftermath together, but there was no reply.

Chen Weizheng asked Liu Yi what other relatives he had over there, and Liu Yi said that he had three uncles and two aunts. My grandparents are still alive.

Chen Weizheng asked Liu Yi what his opinion was on the saying "water returns water to bridges, and each goes its own way".

Liu Yi said that the last trip, even if it was rejected, it was considered to be the last effort. Chen Weizheng said that maybe it is a generational parent, and it is difficult for your grandmother to say that she likes you very much.

Liu Yi smiled bitterly.

The two took out the electric car that they hadn't ridden for a long time and prepared to drive this car to Gem Township. Because as soon as Little Skyrim opened on the road, someone told them that the road in Gem Country had collapsed again.

Due to the large power and the speed of the electric motorcycle, Chen Weizheng has maintained a speed of 40 kilometers, which surprised the motorcycles all the way.

All the way is a tall mud mountain, the mountain is tall, the slope is covered with pine trees, the wind blows, and you can hear the pine waves. The road has been circling on the mountain, Liu Yi told Chen Weizheng that he has to climb two mountains all the way, the first mountain is 16 kilometers from the top of the mountain, 16 kilometers from the bottom of the mountain, 20 kilometers from the top of the mountain, and then 20 kilometers down to the bottom of the mountain is Baobao Township. Chen Weizheng asked Liu Yi if he had been here in the past? Liu Yi said no, there are classmates from Baobao Township in the medical school, listen to what they say.

The more you get to the top of the mountain, the stronger the wind and the cooler it gets, Chen Weizheng took out two fully enclosed motorcycle hats from the space, put them on, and then took out two windbreakers to put them on, Liu Yi sat in the back seat, wrapped his hands around Chen Weizheng's chest and abdomen, and prevented the cold wind from blowing into Chen Weizheng's clothes.

When I climbed the second mountain, I saw the collapse site, there were no vehicles parked at both ends of the collapse, and it is estimated that everyone knows that there is no road maintenance worker, and I don't know when it will be opened to traffic, so it is better to wait here and go home. Someone knocked down a few pine trees at the site of the collapse, and the motorcycle could cautiously push it over it. After Chen Weizheng pushed the car out, he looked back and asked Liu Yi: Shall we repair the road?

Liu Yi nodded, Chen Weizheng saw that there were some pieces of stone left over from the road repair along the side of the road, and used the space to collect about twenty or thirty square pieces of stones, threw them at the landslide, built them solidly, and then collected some mud and spread them on the stones, and in less than ten minutes, the landslide was repaired.

Seeing that Chen Weizheng repaired the road easily, Liu Yi said: "Husband, I knew that it was so easy, we might as well drive a car and not have to ride a motorcycle to the wind." ”

Chen Weizheng said: "I also gave it a try, but I didn't expect it to happen. It's also good to feel the motorcycle once in a while. ”

It took more than two hours to get to Gem Township.

From Baobao Township to Liu Yi's grandmother's house, there are more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, ask the people of Baobao Township how to go, whether the electric motorcycle can go in, the local people are very enthusiastic, in a strange Mandarin, said very clearly: although the road is small, the road is very good, and the motorcycle can go.

Chen Weizheng bought a few bottles of wine in the village market, cut a piece of pork weighing five or six catties, weighed some ordinary candy cakes and put them in the tail box as a greeting gift. The rear trunk is not big, and I don't want to put too much, and it's not clear what the situation is when I go in, so there's no need to waste it.

The first time to drive an electric motorcycle on this kind of road, Chen Weizheng felt very enjoyable, the car was very slow but had a very fast feeling, and the turning was calm but there was a feeling of drifting, which was really interesting, Chen Weizheng said: This time I know the benefits of electric motorcycles! If you come by car, you can only walk.

After driving for nearly an hour for ten kilometers, I arrived at a small village called Hengtang, Liu Yi said, this is it.

Liu Yi got out of the car and asked pedestrians: "May I ask how to get to Xian Debao's house?" ”

The pedestrian looked Liu Yi up and down and told her the specific location. Liu Yi thanked the pedestrians, pointed to a family halfway up the mountain, and said: That's it.

The electric motorcycle continued to detour on the dirt road, and finally came to the house on the mountainside, where an old-fashioned one-and-a-half half-mud and wood building was hidden in the verdant bamboo forest. The first floor is a mud embryo room, the second floor is a platform building, all wooden structure, the roof is covered with green tiles, the cover is very dense, very solid. The downstairs was very clean, there was no chicken and duck droppings that are common in farms, and I didn't hear dogs barking and chickens crowing. At the west end is a sloping building, the sloping building is full of firewood, which shows that the owner of this house is very diligent, as the saying goes: go out and bend down frequently, there is firewood in the house.

Seeing someone coming, someone from the family greeted her, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. A very delicate little girl, with big eyes, big facial features, a thin face and a thin body, very similar to Liu Yi a year ago.

"Hello, is this Xian Debao's home?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"yes, do you have something to do with my grandfather?" The little girl replied.

"It's a little trifle, is your grandfather at home?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"Grandpa is in the back garden, I'll help you call it." The little girl turned and walked into the house.

Chen Weizheng found a flat position to turn off the electric motorcycle, walked to the front of the hall, and looked the old house up and down. The gate is not big, but there is a very high threshold, and the threshold is full of potholes, I don't know whether it is the traces of time or man-made destruction. The hall is a muddy floor, not very smooth, piled up some hoes and the like of farm tools and a large wooden barrel, in the middle is the tablet of the family immortals, on the book of the heaven and earth Jun pro-teacher, it is estimated that there has been no update for several years, it seems a little dilapidated, there is an incense burner on the tablet, full of dust.

Enter from the left side of the tablet, which is the back hall room, which is generally used as a warehouse, and from here you go in to the backyard. The kitchen on the right, the wing room on the left, plus two rear wings, the whole house is so big. Oh, there's a pigpen at the east end, and a thatched house.

Chen Weizheng was looking left and right, and Liu Yi was very nervous. The first time I came to my grandfather's house, what would be the result?

A bad old man came out of the back hall, quite old, with a very dark face and thick skin, a very thin person, and his whole body was very small. He has no beard, but he has a lot of hair, gray, long sideburns, and split ends. A rich and malnourished look, it seems that the son is not doing well.

Liu Yi obviously had the urge to cry, Chen Weizheng gently stroked Liu Yi's back and patted it.

"Hello, old man." Chen Weizheng greeted.

The old man said something, and the little girl before came out and said, "My grandfather can't listen to Mandarin, he can only speak gemstone dialect, and he can understand a little bit of Guyi official dialect, big brother, what do you want to say, I'll help you translate." ”

Chen Weizheng glanced at Liu Yi, there is still such a thing!

"Hello little girl, what shall I call you?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"My name is Xian Dongshuang."

"Is Winterfrost still studying?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"yes, second year of junior high school."

"Studying at Gem Center School?"

"yes!"

"Dongmei, I want to ask you, you have an aunt named Xian Guomei, do you remember?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"I know there is such a great aunt, but I have never met her, and I know that she died a few years ago." Xian Dongshuang said.

"Did your grandfather talk about her?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"Speaking of which, my grandfather has six children, and my favorite is my eldest aunt, who sent her to study until she graduated from high school, and then she went out to work and married outside, and my grandfather didn't blame her. It's just a little strange that aunt and father, saying that it was a human trafficker, he was lazy and lazy, and he couldn't plant the land, and my aunt only suffered with him. After the eldest aunt died, the grandfather said that it was better to die, and if you died, you would not suffer. ”

"Where's your grandmother?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"My grandmother is in Gem Township, and my uncle and uncle have built a house and done business there."

"Why didn't your grandfather go?" Chen Weizheng asked.

"Grandpa said that he was going to wait here for the people of his aunt's house. He said that one day, people from the eldest aunt's family will come, and he can't let the people from the eldest aunt's family come, and they can't find a home or find anyone. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't control his feelings at all, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, walked up to the old man, "plopped", and knelt down.

The old man was startled, and looked at the eldest girl kneeling in front of him in surprise, Xian Dongshuang also looked at Liu Yi in surprise, and turned his inquiring gaze to Chen Weizheng.

"She is your cousin, your eldest aunt's daughter, called Liu Yi." Chen Weizheng said.

Washing Winter Frost quickly translated the words to grandpa, and grandpa was immediately stunned, for a long time, two cloudy tears squeezed out of the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the old man tried to scream twice, but opened his mouth twice, but did not make a sound.

In the house, it was very quiet, very quiet, for a long time, Xian Dongshuang broke the silence: "You are your cousin-in-law!" It's handsome! ”

Chen Weizheng directly crashed into the plane, where is this!
