First, the second aunt nagged a little, as if she had endless words, and finally mentioned Chu Jiaqiang's girlfriend. They all knew that Chu Jiaqiang had a girlfriend in the city and asked when the marriage would be done. This is the case with the elders in the countryside, as long as the younger generations do not study and go out to work, they will start to worry about these things.

"Huh! Just had a conflict, it didn't feel appropriate, and it was divided. Chu Jiaqiang smiled very reluctantly.

The second uncle glared at his wife and comforted: "It's okay, if it's not suitable, it's okay to divide it, give the other party a chance, and give yourself a way out." But you'll have to hurry up and find one, and you're not too small. Ah Xiong is three years younger than you, and now he is not ready to get married? ”

Chu Jiaqiang was a little surprised, the second uncle's first sentence was quite philosophical! Thinking about it, the breakup was diluted again: "Hmm! I know. ”

"It's not easy, the second aunt will find someone to give you another day, Ah Qiang's conditions are so good, a lot of girls are rushing to line up." The second aunt is interested again.

"What are you making a fuss about? Ah Qiang wants to live in the city in the future, so he naturally has to find a girl in the city, what does the woman know? Let's go cook! Remember, stir-fry some peanuts and put them together while rolling the tofu. The second uncle glared at the second aunt again. The second aunt left in a huff, in the countryside, the feudal concept is still a bit serious, and the status of men is higher than that of women.

The second uncle was smoking a cigarette while talking to Chu Jiaqiang about things at work. Cousin Chu Jiawan was listening to her mp3, her face full of intoxication.

Many women in rural areas are skilled women who are very skilled in housework. The second aunt put the soaked soybeans into a beater to make a pulp, then strain the okara and then coagulate it into tofu. She also asked her daughter to go to the vegetable patch next to the house to pick a few greens, two large cucumbers, and half a green onion. Then, a chicken was killed.

For dinner, Chu Jiaqiang ate very appetizingly. Tofu is pure tofu, no other ingredients are added, and the taste is endless when you roll it with leeks and peanuts. The chickens are home-raised chickens, and the taste is naturally not comparable to the feed chickens in the city.

After dinner, I chatted with my second aunt and second uncle for two hours, and it was more than nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock. The second uncle and the second aunt both went to sleep, and by the way, they also drove their daughters into the room. People in the countryside don't stay up late, and they usually go to bed at about nine o'clock, and they don't go to bed at eleven o'clock at the latest.

Early the next morning, Chu Jiaqiang greeted his second uncle and said that he wanted to go back to the old house to have a look. The old house is not far away, about a ten minute walk. The old house is much larger than the second uncle's house, and it is a kind of earthen house with a hollow-shaped structure, a typical Hakka building.

There are rooms all around, and there is a patio of thirty or forty square meters in the middle. The patio is not an ordinary well, this kind of well was used by the ancients to go to Tianshui, the top is open-air, the bottom is about 30 centimeters lower than the ground, usually square, a few are round, and the surrounding and bottom are built with smooth stones. When it rains heavily, it turns into a small pond. It's just that now no one uses the water from the patio, either to the spring to get water, or to dig a well directly to get groundwater.

Because Chu Jiaqiang's father is the eldest son, the old house was assigned to Chu Jiaqiang's father at the beginning of the separation, which can be regarded as inheriting the family business. Now, this has naturally become Chu Jiaqiang's family property, and the five or six acres of land behind the old house, as well as a small valley in the back, are all owned by Chu Jiaqiang.

Open the door and walk into the lonely old house, which is very deserted. Some of the stone crevices in the patio were overgrown with weeds, and a few sparrows landed in them, and from time to time a few crisp cries were heard, which gave the lonely room a little life.

Bypassing the patio, Chu Jiaqiang came to the back hall. When the back door was opened, there were a few acres of land, on which fruit trees were planted, very miscellaneous, including pear trees, yellow bark, guava, grapefruit, citrus, peach trees and two jujubes. Because of the lack of management, not only are the weeds overgrown, but the fruit trees are also not growing well. Because it's fruit season, the trees are more or less full of fruit.

This was planted by Chu Jiaqiang five years ago, and it was a pity to see a few acres of land abandoned, and the second uncle's own field could not be cultivated, so he couldn't take care of it, so he had to mobilize the second uncle to plant fruit trees, and it took a few days to find fruit seedlings at that time.

When I returned to the house, I walked into my former room, where the walls were covered with awards from the school, many of which had been bitten beyond recognition by bugs. Go to the old desk, open the drawer, and take out a box from inside.

"Heirlooms? It's obviously just a piece of cloth, the quality is okay, the ancestors are not mistaken, right? Chu Jiaqiang opened the box and took out a piece of cloth twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide from inside, which felt quite soft to the touch. When he was a child, his father solemnly handed the box to him, saying that it was the heirloom of the Chu family. I used to believe it was true, but the baby was going to die. But when I grew up, I found that my ancestors were bored and took advantage of the offspring.

He felt a little ridiculous, did he have to pass this thing on in the future? How did he talk to his son?

As soon as he sat for a while, Chu Jiaqiang's neck was actually bitten by mosquitoes. He slapped his right hand hard, but fortunately he found it early, otherwise he would have bled profusely. Looking at the blood stains on his hands, Chu Jiaqiang simply picked up the heirloom cloth and wiped it, then wiped his neck again and threw it into the box.

Chu Jiaqiang's eyes unintentionally glanced at the piece of cloth, and he suddenly froze, and his eyes slowly widened.

The cloth slowly levitated, changing colors until it became a realistic landscape painting, with mountains, plains, streams, rivers, and even the sea.

When Chu Jiaqiang was stunned, the landscape map emitted a strong light, Chu Jiaqiang couldn't stand such a strong light, and subconsciously closed his eyes. The landscape map suddenly turned into a colorful light and shot into Chu Jiaqiang's head.

"Boom", Chu Jiaqiang felt that his head was about to explode, grabbed his hair in pain, and finally fainted. I don't know how long it took, Chu Jiaqiang woke up and finally knew the origin of the heirloom.

It turned out that this was the mythical and legendary mountain and river society map, which had its own space, and was unintentionally stained by Chu Jiaqiang's blood, and recognized as the main one. According to the information from the mountain and river map, the rivers and mountains inside are larger than the earth, but now the Chu family's strong ability is limited, and they can only open the space of a valley. And an hour outside, a day inside.

Chu Jiaqiang couldn't return to God for a long time, and as a highly educated talent, he resolutely did not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts. But today's events are beyond reality, making it difficult for him to accept, but this really exists.

After a long time, his mind moved, and he disappeared in an instant. The next moment, Chu Jiaqiang was standing in a beautiful valley.

There is a small stream in this valley with crystal clear water and fish, shrimp and crabs moving in it. Downstream of the stream is a small lake, but it is not connected, and the small lake seems to be a lonely lake with a spring in the middle of the lake. There is a fruit grove by the lake, only peach trees, and fresh peaches with large bowls of fresh peaches hanging on them, which is very attractive. Elsewhere there are meadows, with abundant weeds, dotted with colorful wildflowers, butterflies fluttering, and bees working.

If you feel okay, you might as well collect it!
