【Chapter 115】 Return to Liang Village
When the curling smoke appeared in Liu Rui's sight, Liu Rui suddenly felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart. After being trapped in the mountains by the flood for a week, he finally looked forward to the flood receding and returned to Liang Village safely.
When it comes to the fact that the expedition team was trapped in the mountains during this time, it was actually lackluster, and they just stayed there waiting for the rain to stop and the flood water to recede. Although life was a little inconvenient, eating was not eating, sleeping was not good, and there was not even a place to take a bath, they still survived.
Now seeing the rows of red bricks and green tiles in Liang Village from the mountain beams, and seeing the rice fields that have turned yellow, the members of the investigation team finally understand that they have returned to the outside world.
The already exhausted team members cheered up, quickened their pace, and ran down the mountain. At this time, even if the investigation team is officially settled, Liu Rui, Wang Huaan and others will go back to their respective homes, and as for the post-event assessment and arrangement of the inspection team, it will be up to Yu Shanwei to worry about it.
After saying goodbye to the rest of the inspection team, Liu Rui stood under the courtyard dam, looking up at the compound that he was both familiar with and a little unfamiliar, and his mood was full of emotion.
In the past, when Liu Rui was studying, he also had the experience of going home for ten days and a half months, but he didn't have any special feelings about going home at that time. Ten days before and after entering the mountain this time, after experiencing so many things, Liu Rui especially misses the comfortable environment and faint warmth at home.
After ten days of not seeing him, the changes in the compound still made Liu Rui feel a little surprised.
The morning glory under the bamboo fence has decorated the originally bare bamboo fence beautifully, and the colorful flowers add a bit of showiness. What caught Liu Rui's attention the most was the slope on the side of the courtyard dam, which had been covered with a carpet-like greenery.
These slopes were originally overgrown with weeds and some shrubs, which were very unsightly, and Liu Rui spent a lot of effort some time ago to plant lawns and various ornamental flowers after reclamation. Now, a month has passed, and although the lavender and the like have not yet bloomed, the lawn has grown very densely under the moisture of the spring, and it has begun to take shape in a blink of an eye.
When Liu Rui reclaimed the land in front of the dam to plant flowers and grass, the villagers of Shangliang Village were in an uproar, thinking that Liu Rui was full and had nothing to do. However, after a month, most of the villagers gradually changed their initial views and felt that this was quite eye-catching.
Before Liu Rui could take a step, he saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua appear at the courtyard gate, running desperately towards him, this time the two little guys surprisingly did not fight. After ten days of not seeing each other, the two little ones have grown in size, and they are no longer the delicate appearance they had before.
Seeing the two little guys rushing wildly, the yellow-throated marten squatting at Liu Rui's feet suddenly stood upright, the hair on his body was also standing up, and a sharp cry came out of his mouth. This guy is usually used to being wild in the jungle, and he is hostile to other animals when he sees them.
The two little guys were frightened like this, and they were stunned for a moment, and they didn't dare to step forward when they were three or four meters away from Liu Rui. As a last resort, Liu Rui could only pick up the yellow-throated marten, comfort it, and then walk towards home.
Seeing that the vicious guy just now was hugged by the master, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly circled around Liu Rui's feet, unusually affectionate. It's no wonder that these two little guys were rescued by Liu Rui when they were on the verge of death, and their feelings for Liu Rui are naturally very deep. Liu Rui has been gone for ten days, and it is a little difficult for them not to want Liu Rui.
"Rui'er, you're back!" When Liu Rui walked into the courtyard gate, his mother's words of surprise came to his ears.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!" Seeing his parents eating at the stone table, Liu Rui had a bright smile on his face.
"How did you go for so long this time?" Zhang Guizhi stood up suddenly, she didn't notice that the chopsticks touched the ground, she took two steps, looked Liu Rui up and down and said, "It's darkened, it's thin!" ”
In fact, Liu Rui is trapped in the mountains, except that it is not very convenient to take a bath, there is no problem with the nutrition of the diet, coupled with the moisture of the space aura, his physical condition is very good. It's just that as soon as Zhang Guizhi saw his son at first glance, he would subconsciously think that Liu Rui was not well fed and clothed in the mountains, and he suffered a lot.
"Mom, I'm fine, it's just a little dirty!" Liu Rui smiled, and two rows of white teeth were exposed.
Liu Jiahong sat on the chair, looking at his son, who was already a head taller than himself, his heart was full of joy, but he could still hold back his excitement.
"Go take a shower first, mom will make you something to eat now!" First, he helped Liu Rui take off the backpack on his body, Zhang Guizhi looked at it again, and then walked into the kitchen.
During this time in the mountains, because of the rain, the mountain stream became extremely dirty, and it was impossible to bathe at all. When he walked into the shower room and started to take a bath with well water, Liu Rui felt for the first time that taking a bath was so beautiful!
When Liu Rui came out of the shower, he unexpectedly found that the yellow-throated marten, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua had become good friends, playing in the yard. Liu Rui shook his head and sighed that this world is really not something he can understand.
Stir-fried beans with bacon, tomatoes and tomatoes, loofah soup and rice, although they are simple home-cooked dishes, they still make Liu Rui eat with relish and comfort. These days in the mountains, just eating some barbecue meat and compressed biscuits, Liu Rui's mouth has already faded out.
Now eating the familiar taste cooked by his mother, Liu Rui's heart is filled with a warmth.
After eating and moving a chair, Liu Rui and his father chatted in the yard to learn about some of the things that happened in the village during this time.
Under the strong promotion of Feng Jian, the project progress of the pig farm is quite fast, and the foundation of the reinforced concrete structure has been laid, just waiting to build a house on it. It's just that it has been rainy for the past few days, and the construction has been greatly affected, and I don't know when it will be able to restart. As for the pig farm and the biogas digester at home, the construction team of the Forestry Bureau is quite fast, and the concrete tank has been poured in just a few days, and after a period of time, the inner wall is painted with some special paint, and it can be used.
"How is Uncle Huaguo's bamboo art company doing?" Taking a sip of chrysanthemum tea, Liu Rui asked.
Before entering the mountain last time, Liu Rui had already met with Wang Jun and exchanged some ideas about the bamboo art company, but I don't know how they did things after ten days?
"A few days ago, I called a meeting of some villagers to discuss the issue of raising funds and buying shares, but not many people responded." Liu Jiahong thought about it and said: "But they still registered the company in the past two days, and I don't know the specific situation." ”
Liu Rui knew that his father was not interested in starting this bamboo art company, and in his thoughts, it was already a very great thing to be able to carry forward the Liu Family Distillery.
"How is the wine at home selling during this time? Can your body still stand it? During this time in the mountains, Liu Rui was most worried about his father's body.
Liu Jiahong's body has just recovered, and the business of the winery is so good, brewing hundreds of catties of rice every day, to be honest, it is still a very tiring thing.
"Underestimate your dad?" Liu Jiahong laughed and said: "Now there are two more food stalls in the county to order, and the supply exceeds demand every day!" ”
Hearing his father's hearty laughter, Liu Rui suddenly felt that he had a backbone in his heart and felt a lot more relaxed. Before Liu Jiahong was injured, although he didn't talk much, his optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life has always been the support of the Liu family.
After being injured, because there has always been a shadow of disability, Liu Jiahong's whole person has become a little gloomy, and he is not so sunny about life.
However, now that he has recovered, the trustworthy father in Liu Rui's mind is back!
"It seems that our plan to expand the winery is feasible, and we need to hurry up the time." Liu Rui nodded and said, "The pigs in the backyard are almost out of slaughter, and after they are sold, they can dismantle the pigsty and build a new winery." ”
"Let's keep one and continue to raise, kill the New Year's pig during the New Year, and let's have a prosperous year this year!" Seeing that his son was quite motivated, Liu Jiahong did not object, but put forward a suggestion that interested Liu Rui.
When it comes to killing New Year's pigs, Liu Rui remembers the lively scene at his grandfather's house during the New Year when he was a child, but in the past few years, for various reasons, few people have killed New Year's pigs.
"Okay, let's keep the biggest one and celebrate the New Year lively!" In a few words, the matter of killing the New Year's pig was decided.
During this time, although Liu Rui was not at home, relying on the large amount of space spring water left in the well, the Liu family's vegetable garden still maintained a fairly stable output and continued to provide ingredients for 'South Beauty'. But these days, several of Liu Rui's uncles and aunts have begun to reclaim the plots around the pig farm, ready to grow vegetables and increase their income. In this regard, Liu Rui naturally agreed with both hands, after all, with the expansion of the winery, he really didn't have so much energy to take care of the vegetable garden.
After chatting with his father for a while, Liu Rui finally learned about some things that happened at home and in the village during the time he was away, and pulled his emotions back to this hot land from the reckless jungle.
chatting with his father, and from time to time with his mother who was washing dishes in the kitchen, Liu Rui didn't have to think about it, and felt very comfortable.
In the yard, the yellow-throated marten, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hua are chasing and fighting, which adds a bit of vitality to the courtyard. On the osmanthus tree, those magpies seemed to be very happy about Liu Rui's return, and they kept chirping, and their crisp voices echoed in the small courtyard, a little more tender!
Liu Rui enjoys this warm and quiet life!
