At the dinner table, Chu Peng and Lao Li staggered, talking about the heat, and continuing the Chinese wine table culture.

"Little brother, let me tell you, my wine is completely produced at home, in this big mountain, with the best glutinous rice as the main ingredient, the water is pure mountain spring, the taste is sweet and delicious, unlike the city, even if it is mineral water to drink is not used to it, and finally it is the most important wine mother.

Don't look at our own home-brewed and outside materials are the same, although the main ingredient and water are better, but the wine mother is not made now, the generation has been passed down from generation to generation, it is extremely precious, and it is precisely because of this handed down wine mother, my home-brewed wine is very mellow. ”

"Oh, Lao Li, this hundred-year-old wine mother is very rare" After saying that, I took a sip of wine, "This is the taste, warm, straight to the bottom of my heart, it really deserves to be the wine made by the century-old wine mother." ”

Lao Li laughed: "That is, our village has a history of hundreds of years, the stone road outside the village was built in the Qing Dynasty, and some of the houses in the village were also built during the Republic of China, and they are still preserved there, which can also be regarded as a long history." ”

Hearing this, Chu Peng's eyes lit up, he didn't know how to speak, but he didn't expect to send an opportunity now, and at that moment, he immediately asked: "Lao Li, I also like the beautiful mountains and rivers here, the cultural environment, it is not okay to buy a piece of land here to live down, and it is guaranteed that it will not affect here." ”

"Oh, that's it, what's there to discuss, I like to live here, the young people nowadays like to run out, almost all the young people in our village are gone, are you willing to stay." Lao Li took a sip of wine, waved his big hand, and said with a smile.

"Oh, thank you, brother, I've been in the city for a long time, I can't stand that kind of atmosphere, I feel tired, and I'm just relaxing when I travel around, it's rare to come across such a good place, I can't miss it." After that, he took a sharp breath of air and continued: "Looking at the air, the city is dirty, how can there be freshness here, that scenery, can make people unconsciously relax, listening to the birds calling Chongming, I only feel that the brain that has experienced the roar of cars all the year round is much clearer, and I have to live a few more years when I live here." ”

Hearing Chu Peng's praise, Lao Li's face also showed a proud expression, and he laughed: "That's, let's not talk about anything else, just this environment, I can pat my chest and say, 'Our village, can definitely enter the top three in the country' The old people in the village have lived to more than ninety, okay, don't say much, now drink and eat, after eating, I will take you around, get to know here, and see which piece of land is agreeable." ”

"Yes, yes, eat now, come, brother, let's go one of the two." After getting the exact answer, Chu Peng was also very happy, after all, this is someone else's place, if you don't want to let yourself stay, you can't force you to stay, right, since you agree, it will be even easier.

The wine table is worthy of being the best office place for Chinese people, and drinking a meal of wine not only solves the problem of living here, but also pulls in a lot of interpersonal relationships. At this moment, Chu Peng and Lao Li are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and they can't see that these two have just met today.

In fact, this is mainly because Chu Peng didn't play any scheming, although the people in the mountain village, although they are simple and hospitable, it doesn't mean that they are stupid, and they are more shrewd than ordinary people, since you are scheming, then ignore you, I don't want anything from you.

Therefore, Lao Li felt that Chu Peng spoke very sincerely, and he did not deceive perfunctorily, which is why Lao Li agreed to Chu Peng's request at once. As the saying goes: American high-IQ people are on Wall Street, and China is in officialdom, how can a village chief be so well fooled.

At dinner, a seven or eight-year-old child ran in outside, shouting "grandparents" in his mouth, seeing Lao Li's loving face, Chu Peng also knew that this must be his grandson or grandson, so he immediately took out a bag of chocolates from his backpack, handed it over and said: "Brother, this is the candy I carry with me, the child will take it and eat it." ”

The child looked at it with blank eyes, in the mountains, such things are rare, but Lao Li hurriedly excused himself: "Little brother, how can I ask for your things, put them away quickly." ”

Chu Peng pretended to be a little angry and said, "Brother, you see that you invited me to drink such a good wine today, isn't it just a little sugar for children, it's not a big deal, take it." ”

"In that case, then I'll take it." He said to the child in his arms: "Huzi, take it, thank you uncle." ”

The milk voice said: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Chu Peng smiled at the corner of his mouth, handed the candy up, touched the little head, and watched the tiger jump and run away.

China is a place that pays attention to human feelings, you come and go is human feelings, if Chu Peng pays for this meal today, then both parties will not look good, and even the relationship will break down, and there is no way to refuse to return favors from the outside.

"Huzi is very cute, it's my brother's grandson." Chu Peng turned around and exchanged this.

"That's it, I usually know how to play around, and I'm not obedient at all." But when he said this, he had a smile on his face.

Chu Peng knew that this was the modesty that the Chinese had always had, and did not refute it, and said with a smile: "This is lively, active, and children are the best like this." ”

Sure enough, starting with the junior can best capture the hearts of others, and I saw that the smile on Lao Li's face was a little more, and explained: "My son and daughter-in-law don't like to stay in the countryside, so they went out to work, so they left Huzi here." Okay, let's go, let's go out for a walk. ”

"Oh yes, I haven't taken a good look at the village yet, let's go." Since Lao Li invited, Chu Peng also agreed, in fact, he was telling the truth, from beginning to end, that is, on the way here, he glanced at it when he stood halfway up the mountain, but the distance was too far, and he couldn't see it very clearly, such an ancient village must also have a deep historical precipitation, Chu Peng thought secretly.

Walking out of the prison house, it is a square, very large, it is very convenient to dry things in the room, along the path paved with stone slabs, there are people on both sides, some houses also have fences made of bamboo, which raise chickens, ducks and geese, or in the open space in front of the door, open a small piece of land, seriously injure the green onions. Garlic and other side dishes.

The whole rural scenery is beautiful, in front of the house, or children playing, or old people are weaving baskets, there is a stone table in the distance, a few stone benches, just the leisure life in Chu Peng's eyes, he has been deeply intoxicated.

I couldn't help but think of Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden and Pastoral Home": "There is no suitable rhyme, and the surname is Qiu Shan." fell into the dust net by mistake and went for thirty years. The birds love the old forest, and the pond fish thinks about the old place. Open up the wilderness in the south and return to the garden. There are more than 10 acres of square houses, and there are ** grass houses. The elm willow shades the back eaves, and the peach and plum Luo Hall are in front of the hall. Ambiguous (ài) distant village, smoke in the ruins. The dog barks in the deep alley, and the rooster cries in the mulberry tree. There is no dust in the courtyard, and there is spare time in the empty room. After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature.

The natural, beautiful mountain village picture scroll was deeply imprinted in Chu Peng's mind.
