Hongchiba National Tourist Area is the only plateau scenic spot in the eastern part of Bashu, sandwiched between the fourth, sixth, second and eighth districts.

In the past, only the medicine pickers from poor families were not afraid of the steep terrain, climbed the slopes and mountains, went to the cliffs and cliffs to pick some yams of the year, and quietly went to the people to sell them.

Hawking on the street has historically not been tolerated by the government.

Before liberation, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes had not yet been rolled out, and the tax collectors came up.

After liberation, all resources belonged to the state, and private collection was an illegal operation, engaging in speculation, taking the capitalist road, and being caught and sentenced.

Year after year, the original herb pickers grew old. Their descendants have become farmers or handicraftsmen with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, and there are no longer reckless herb pickers.

Before Hongchiba did not become a national tourist area, no matter which district refused to ask for it, feeling that there was nothing on the mountain, and there were many fierce beasts in the mountains and forests.

As soon as they developed, the leaders of each district surrounded Yang Yuanchao, the secretary of the county party committee at the time, and demanded that the Hongchi Dam be assigned to their own district, but no one expected to catch it.

Finally, the Hongchi Dam is under the direct jurisdiction of the provincial government, and is jointly managed by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, the Tourism Bureau, and the city of Yizhou.

The change of jurisdiction has not affected the prosperity of the Hongchiba tourist area, which is comparable to the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area in another time and space.

Travel to Bashu, in addition to the Leshan Giant Buddha, Emei Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, is the size of the Three Gorges, Hongchiba Scenic Area, the line is hot.

Shangsu and ancient roads are the branches of Yanjiang Expressway to the most important exit of Wuxian Expressway. Not one of them.

The eastern part of Bashu is mountainous, from Baidi City to Wuxian, all the way is tunnel after tunnel. The last tunnel to Yangqiao Dam is called the Ancient Tunnel.

People who don't understand think that this is a more famous place in ancient times, but in fact, it is just the abbreviation of Shangsu Ancient Road.

Not far from the high-speed exit, a military vehicle stopped on the right-hand side of the road with double flashes, and next to it was the sign of the Hongchiba Scenic Area.

When ordinary drivers see military vehicles, they take a detour from afar.

Only attentive drivers, glancing at the license plates. I didn't know which branch of the military it was when I saw Chen WS1958, so I honked and whistled away.

At this time, the shuttle bus from Yizhou to Wuxian arrived.

"Master. Trouble here is a kick. "A tall girl is holding a five or six-year-old child, and the pure Beijing film makes the passengers' eyes shine.

I don't know what she looks like, but a pair of oversized sunglasses covers most of her face.

The exposed part of the skin is very white, with a high nose bridge and long black hair. Some males can't help but greedily take a second look.

"Sister. It's not that I'm not emotional. The driver's Mandarin is too far behind: "You don't know, the traffic police have caught the old murderer, and there is an absolute fine for picking up and dropping off passengers here." ”

"Huh?" She froze slightly: "Then where are we down?" ”

"Only when you go to the passenger station, you look like you're going to Hongchi Dam." Although the driver does not speak Mandarin, his eloquence is good.

"At this time, you are right to come to Hongchi Dam, the mountains are full of red leaves. In a few days, it will snow on it, and I heard that it will be frosting for both days. ”

"Mom. What do you see written here? The little boy stared at the note curiously and read it out loud: "It is strictly forbidden to talk to the driver while driving." ”

The driver coughed in embarrassment. Concentrate on driving.

"Hey, there's no parking here." The girl had already picked up her mobile phone to make a call and led the child back to her seat: "You pick us up at the station." ”

Seeing this, some men with ideas in the car had already retreated.

Not to mention anything else, the person who came to pick her up was driving, and it was impossible to walk with such a beautiful woman on the road, right?

If you have the strength to drive, why bother to squeeze the shuttle?

Shangsulphur Passenger Station, between Shangsulphur Town and Yangqiao Village, is very noisy with many cars, and the announcer's voice is still clearly recognizable.

"Passengers to Wu County, please be prepared, the bus from Yizhou to Wu County will arrive at the station immediately, there are still 24 seats on the car, please hurry up and buy tickets at the window if you don't buy tickets."

Sure enough, after a while, the bus honked twice and slowly drove into the station.

As soon as the car door opened, the child rushed down and shouted at a tall young man wearing sunglasses, "Daddy, Daddy, we're here!" ”

The girl carried a lady's Kun bag and chased after her: "Conglang, slow down, don't fall!" ”

The tall young man had already stepped forward and lifted the child up: "My son is growing taller again." ”

"Daddy, I'm going to ride a horse!" Conglang giggled.

"Okay, then you can hold my head by yourself." As he spoke, Wu Shan lifted his son above his head and let Cong Lang's legs clamp his head.

Wang Lu smiled and took her husband's outstretched hand: "Why didn't you see your car outside the station just now?" ”

"There's a parking lot next to it, and it's sitting there." Wu Shan looked at his wife lovingly: "Tired, aren't you?" ”

"I'm not tired," Wang Lu shook his head: "Originally, it was a direct flight from the capital to Yizhou and then transferred to Hongchiba, but your son had to see the tunnel." ”

"It's not," Conglang was a little scared, hugged his father's head tightly, and still heard his mother's words: "It was my mother who said she wanted to come and see, so she asked me if I was coming!" ”

"Humph!" Wang Lu glanced at her son dissatisfied: "If it weren't for your little gadget, my mother would have arrived a long time ago." ”

Returning home during the Spring Festival, the highway has not yet been opened to traffic, and it is said that a tunnel collapsed at that time, and it was not until the end of April that the repair and overhaul was completed and opened to traffic safely.

"What do you want to eat?" Wu Shan hurriedly diverted the topic: "Son, Shangsu is your father's hometown, taste the flavor here?" ”

"Dad, let me down!" Conglang closed his eyes and was gently lowered to the ground by his father.

"Son, you can open your eyes." Wang Lu giggled when she saw her son's scared appearance: "You are on the ground." ”

"Really!" Conglang quietly opened a slit, clapped his hands and said, "Dad, you took me to my grandfather's house, saying that it was my hometown, why is it here?" Where is our home? ”

"Home. It's a very broad concept. Wu Shan patiently explained: "With you and me and my mother, we will live in one place for a while, and that is our home. ”

"What about Sally's mother and brother?" Conglang tilted his head. Puzzled, asked.

"Count it too!" Wu Shan coughed embarrassedly: "Hometown, the scope is even wider." For example, the birthplace of your great-grandfather, the birthplace of your grandfather and father, are all of them. ”

"Dad, then I was born in the capital, so my hometown is Jingshi?" From Lang more and more puzzled.

"No, your hometown is in Wu County." Wu Shan took his son's hand: "Everyone's hometown must be counted according to their father's hometown. ”

I'm afraid that my son will break the casserole again and ask to the end. He hurriedly pointed to the restaurant in front of him: "This shop has the yellow cake that my father liked to eat when he was a child." ”

It just so happened that the owner of the restaurant was standing at the door.

"That's it," he smiled, "we have a very good yellow cake here." Soft and sweet, a few dishes of side dishes, Ba Shi is very good! ”

"What is a yellow cake?" Conglang is even more confused.

Wang Lu was laughing forward and backward on the side, presumably at home because of this son who likes to ask questions.

"Yellow cake is rice cake!" The owner of the restaurant answered. In slightly better Mandarin than the previous driver, he explained: "Send the rice milk." Steamed out, it's delicious! ”

"Isn't that a steamed bun?" Xiao Conglang shook off his father's hand and gestured: "Such a big steamed bun, I want to eat one at a time." ”

"Steamed buns are made of flour," Wu Shan explained unhurriedly, "Didn't you hear your uncle just now that they were made of rice milk?" ”

Cong Lang stopped talking, frowned, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Strictly speaking, rice cakes are easier to swallow than steamed buns, and the taste is much sweeter.

Wang Lu and Conglang are both eating for the first time. It feels particularly fragrant.

As a mother, Wang Lu is elegant. The eating appearance looks like a classical beauty.

Wu Conglang has not lacked food since he was a child, although he thinks it is delicious, he still eats it unhurriedly.

"So full, so full!" He patted his belly exaggeratedly.

"Good!" Wu Shan picked up his son lovingly, threw a piece of five yuan to the restaurant, and held his wife with the other hand: "Grandma will make you your favorite noodles in the evening." ”

"Grandma said it was called wonton," Cong Lang tilted his head: "The statement of the noodles is wrong." ”

"Every place has its own dialect," Wu Shan had to convince his son: "For example, wontons, in the area of Minzhou Province, people call them wontons." ”

When the car-keeper saw the military vehicle, he glanced listlessly, and it was rare to command the car, but he was vigilant to see if it would be touched.

Wushan's current technology may not be as powerful as that of a racing driver, and it is easy to get out of the parking lot.

The road of Yangqiao Dam was built very wide, and it was built along both sides of the river.

On both sides of the road, densely packed with households, it is still not well planned, and the houses are built of different heights.

On both sides of the river, there are two carriageways.

In my memory, even the last time I came back here before I was reborn, it was only from the upper sulphur, with a road on the left and no road on the right.

Children can't sit in the passenger seat, Wang Lu and his son sit in the back, greedily looking out the car window.

After the Yangqiao Dam walked, I went to the old fourth district, which was a section of uphill, and after a place called Dawokeng, it was downhill.

The dividing line between the old fourth district and the third district is in Dawokeng.

Seeing that she stopped and waited for a while, Wang Lu couldn't help complaining: "Husband, didn't you say that the road here is easy to walk?" Wouldn't it be closer to come from the city through the first district? ”

"Fast-track repair!" Wu Shan explained: "It takes more than three hours to get from the highway exit to Hongchi Dam now, and it will take more than an hour to arrive in the future. ”

Wang Lu was about to speak, but when she heard her husband's mobile phone ringing, she closed her mouth in amusement.

"Uncle Xu, why did you call me?" Wu Shan smiled bitterly: "It seems that I haven't called you yet." ”

"Stinky boy, hurry up and get Lao Tzu to the capital!" Xu Shiyou's broken gong throat shook people's eardrums.

"I'm going to Hongchiba to meet my grandparents," Wu Shan sighed, "You have to let me take a look at them." ”

"I'll come right away when I see you, I'll send a plane from the Bashu Military Region to pick you up!" Without waiting for a reply, Xu Shiyou hung up the phone directly.

Wu Tianming and Yang Tianxiu, the old man, lived very comfortably in Hongchiba, and finally there were not so many people coming to disturb them.

I was very happy to see my eldest grandson.

"Grandparents, I'm leaving soon." Wu Shan said gloomily: "Uncle Xu's plane is estimated to arrive at Hongchiba Airport in a while. ”

The old couple's expressions darkened.

"Grandma, I want to eat the noodles you made!" Don't care from Lang Ke, break free from your father.

"Okay, grandma, let's do it!" Yang Tianxiu said as he walked into the house: "Lei doesn't beat the diners, eat the noodles and then leave!" (To be continued......)
