Chapter 003: Summer Night in a Mountain Village
Therefore, the folk customs here are still simple, and the unique honesty and kindness of the mountain people, and hospitality is still one of their characteristics.
Besides, this kind of trivial matter doesn't hurt, whoever is idle and crazy to care about this, where people like to sleep, it has nothing to do with you.
The terrain on the hill is high and the ventilation is good, and the cold shivering in the middle of the night is not covered, and the natural wind is better than the indoor air conditioning.
Two completely different worlds, so men and women who stay on the hill at night are still a must to bring a blanket and bed sheets or something!
However, Lan Shaoqiang is an exception, this guy's physique is not ordinary.
In fact, this is also a way for people in the mountains to gather and communicate, squatting together in groups to chat and chat.
During the day, they are all busy, each earning their own money, who has the leisure time to gather and chat.
So this summer night is the busiest place on the hillside.
Men and women, young and old, gathered on the hillside to chat, and the east and west talked about everything, exchanging ideas with each other.
At this time, when he saw Lan Shaoqiang, who rarely returned to the village, they all rushed to say hello unexpectedly.
"Hey, Qiangzi is back, why don't you see your dad with you?"
"My dad was busy collecting medicine, so he didn't have time to accompany me back."
Scared, what age is this, there are still people who live by going up the mountain to collect medicine, or this era is popular retro, the more they live, the more they go back.
Lan Shaoqiang scratched his head with a smile and greeted everyone: "Hello uncles and aunts, Qiangzi still wants to thank you for taking care of you!" ”
"Hip Hop ......" someone laughed and joked, and responded to Lan Shaoqiang's greeting: "Hehe, you kid will be out of sight when he says this!" ”
"Yes, yes, we have been neighbors with your father for decades, and that's not for nothing!"
Lan Shaoqiang scratched his head with a smile: "Well, my dad said the same thing, it was his old man who asked me to greet you!" ”
"I know, you also greet your dad for us, he should also pay attention to his body, he is not a young person."
"Thank you Quiber, I'll tell my dad about your kindness!"
From their polite chats with each other, we know that Lan Shaoqiang's father and son have a good relationship with their neighbors.
That is, his father Lan Xuefeng is a demobilized cadre, born in a family of famous doctors who have been passed down from generation to generation, and there are many people who have received the favor of the Lan family.
The popularity accumulated over generations has been blessed for generations, and the real predecessors planted trees and later generations to enjoy the shade, which has benefited Lan Xuefeng and his son a lot.
However, Lan Xuefeng joined the army at the age of 18, and his outstanding achievements rose step by step, and then he naturally fell into the army.
Therefore, he can't inherit the mantle of the Lan family to practice medicine, and he is lost here, which is a pity!
You must know the time when the Lan family opens the door to practice medicine, it is like a city, there are many people queuing up for treatment every day, which is better than regular hospitals, county-level hospitals, please don't move, and municipal hospitals personally hire them, and ask them to open an expert number to sit for consultation!
It's a pity that Lan Xuefeng has declined here, but Lan Xuefeng is also good in the army, his military career can be said to be smooth sailing, and he has risen all the way to the top with great ambition, which can be described as a promising future.
That's why he gave up inheriting the mantle of the Lan family to practice medicine, and decided to stay in the army and live the military life he liked.
Unfortunately, when his son was 3 years old, his hometown was robbed by robbers, and none of the four members of the family survived.
His parents were the exclusive secret recipe passed down from generation to generation by the Bao Lan family, and they were all killed by the robbers after trying their best to resist.
His wife, who returned to his hometown with his son to visit relatives, tried her best to protect her children's in-laws, but was killed by several knives in her body, and all the family except Lan Xuefeng were killed.
But two years later, Lan Xuefeng returned with his son Lan Shaoqiang, who said that Qiangzi was seriously injured and almost died.
It was he who used his connections in the army to send him abroad for treatment for two years to save Lan Shaoqiang's life.
But Hadron's physique plummeted from then on, and he was so sick that he relied on decoction to keep him alive, so much so that he missed the age of going to school.
This incident hit Lan Xuefeng very hard, a good warm little family, the family was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and no one could bear it.
He made many mistakes in his work, and was finally exiled by the army and relegated, and once again became an unknown little villager.
bid farewell to his beloved military career, returned to this small mountain village after many years of absence, and relied on his only son Lan Shaoqiang for his life.
At this time, Lan Xuefeng had nothing, and his experience could be described as very unfortunate, and he was denatured since then, and he was always so withdrawn and unsociable.
He was still with his son when he was young, and when Lan Shaoqiang was a little older, he was almost away from home all year round.
Every day, they collect medicine and sell it in the mountains to support their father and son, and many people rarely see others.
Many times, he lived in the mountains with his son and never came back, collecting medicine while helping the villagers take care of the cattle and sheep on the mountain.
The people in the mountains have an unwritten habit of driving the cattle and sheep to the mountains to graze in the spring and summer when the grass and trees are verdant.
Because there are many wastelands in the mountains, the palm-sized pieces of wasteland are steep and cannot be cultivated with machines.
Therefore, it is necessary to raise cattle to plow the fields, so it is also necessary to raise them every summer.
In order to reduce each other's burden, everyone tacitly combined and took turns to go to the mountains every once in a while to check the count.
Whoever has a few cows, everyone is clear in their hearts, and they take care of each other very tacitly.
This saves a lot of time to do other things, and everyone tacitly follows the rules with each other.
When it is farming season, it is very convenient to drive the cattle back to cultivate and put them back on the mountain when they are finished.
Besides, when a man takes care of a child, there will naturally be many inconveniences, and a lot of time he will be helped by the love of the villagers and neighbors.
In order to repay the enthusiastic neighbors, Lan Xuefeng took the initiative to help them take care of the cattle and sheep silently when the farm was busy.
Anyway, he collects medicine in the mountains all the year round, which is also a gesture for him, and the relationship between the village and the neighbors gets along well.
Qiangzi may have been influenced by his father, who liked to soak in the mountains with him since he was a child, and his sick and troubled childhood guide zhì missed his school age.
In this era, it is rare to see children who do not go to school, and they run with their father on the mountains like monkeys every day, exercising their superhuman physique.
This kid was a blessing in disguise, but he changed his sick image and grew into a sunny and healthy beautiful boy.
He likes to fight since he was a child, and he is generally not his opponent by his peers, but he is a well-known fighting master.
If something happens to the villagers and neighbors, they are bullied and need to be solved by force, and there is nothing that can't be done if Lan Shaoqiang comes out!
However, the father and son take the mountain as their home all the year round, and it is rare to come back and show their faces, and they generally do not mix with the villagers, and it is difficult to find him.
And because things are scarce, it is quite a porridge to be able to see these two men appear.
When the neighbors saw their father and son coming back, they were all with rare enthusiasm, and they all greeted each other with a smile.
"You're welcome, you don't need such a strong man to talk to Kuiber!"
The middle-aged man looked rude, and after speaking, he lay down on the mat and lay down with a big grin, as if he didn't plan to pay attention to him anymore.
