The village banquet has always been an enduring tradition, no matter which family does good deeds, will put a few tables, invite the villagers to the banquet, after all, the people in a village, basically are related to the family, so whenever there is a good thing, they will get together to chat and drink together, Li Cheng took off his cumbersome suit, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and looked like he was doing a big job, as the protagonist of the banquet, he couldn't get by without a few drinks.

Li Cheng, the rice wine in his hometown, hasn't tasted it for a long time, first toasted his elders, Li Cheng went down a round, and he couldn't stand it, so he had to condense the dragon qi to dispel the alcohol concentration in the blood, and use the golden finger to drink and cheat, which is only used by Duan Yu in martial arts stories.

And Duan Yu's five-vein divine sword is condensed to the fingers with sword qi, presenting a liquid state, while Li Cheng's cheating methods are more high-end, directly transpiring the alcohol in the body, and the effect is very hidden.

After the village banquet, everyone drank almost, went home to sleep, farmed the land, and the lively villa was quieter all of a sudden, Claire helped Yi Xiaomei and others clean up, Li Cheng sat in the hall and took a breath of relief, his mind was sober, but he was a little tired, after all, he just got off the plane, did a few hours of driving, and then when he got home, he made a few catties of rice wine with his elders and peers.

"Ah Cheng, you can't be so unrestrained when you're happy, you can't hide from drinking? When people tell you to drink, you can drink it, and people who don't know the way still think you're stupid. Li Zhiwu looks like he hates iron but not steel, in fact, he feels sorry for his son, and he is full of calculations. Li Cheng has drunk dozens of cups, but there are 3 taels in one cup.

What kind of plastic cup is used to drink in the countryside is about 3 taels 3, the kind of small glass in the restaurant is only 20 grams, that is, 0.4 taels, home-brewed rice wine, at least about 20-30 degrees, drank dozens of cups, this is not an ordinary mass, at least alcohol poisoning, Li Cheng can still move around freely. Illustrates that the situation is not very bad.

"Dad. I'm respecting my elders, I haven't been back for so long, I have to get to know these relatives and friends, otherwise others will think I'm developed and won't recognize my relatives. ”

"But you can't drink so fiercely. I'll ask your mom to make some honey water for you. This is good for hangover. ”

"It's good. Xie Lu Xie, Dad. ”

"This kid didn't learn anything abroad. It was time to start being polite. ”

Li Cheng drank a glass of honey water, and after getting better, he went upstairs to his room to rinse down, and suddenly sobered up a lot, there are many rooms upstairs, and those who are generally not officially married in the countryside cannot have the same room, so their parents also prepared a clean and tidy room for Claire, after the two put their luggage away, Claire knocked on the door and entered Li Cheng's room, and said mysteriously: "Cheng, while it's not dark yet, let's go out for a walk?" ”

"Okay, you wait a minute." After Li Cheng cleaned up, he walked with Claire, planning to visit the village. Like most of China's native villages, the rice fields are all scattered, and most of the fields divided by each family are a few cents of land here, where there is about one acre of land, after all, there is less land and more people is a true portrayal of rural China.

Li Cheng led Claire on the country road, many little children were coaxing, muttering some ugly words, Li Cheng didn't care, when Claire asked what the children were talking about, Li Cheng had to lie again, and said, "They are saying that you are beautiful." ”

"Oh, that's amazing." In fact, these children are all scolding Claire for being a foreign devil, it is estimated that they have watched too many historical TV series at a certain point in time on TV, plus Tong Yan Wuji, there is nothing to reprimand.

Li Cheng squatted down and said to a child king in the native dialect of southern Hunan: "Little doll, don't talk nonsense, okay?" If you're good, I'll buy you candy. ”

It may be that the lure worked, the children immediately stopped laughing and scolding, Li Cheng turned around and went to a small store, bought a lot of candy, and distributed it directly to the children.

"Well, don't treat international friends like this in the future, otherwise you'll spank your family." Seeing the children's cheering appearance, Li Cheng also understood their mood, when he was a child, he rarely could eat sugar, there was no such condition in the countryside, he could eat a grain of candy, and it would be very sweet and sweet all day, let alone such a big bag.

Although the candy is not like the previous situation where you can only eat a little bit all year round, but now rural children still rarely eat so many such expensive candies, this is more than 20 yuan a pound of high-end goods, it is a batch of small shop owners in the county supermarket, and only bought a few catties, all of which were bought by Li Cheng.

"Cheng, seeing them eat candy so happily makes me feel very happy."

"Yes, Claire, you can take a few pictures, this is the happiest time for Chinese children."

"Hmm."

If you don't say it, Claire almost missed the real appearance of rural Chinese children in this scene, to reflect the most rustic place in a country, not to go to the big city, but to the poorest place, dare to show the worst part of herself, but also prove that the country has self-confidence, there is no need to hide it.

After Li Cheng bribed these children with a large bag of sugar, Li Cheng pulled the child king just now, a little girl who was about 8 years old, and said, "What's your name?" Can you take me to your house? ”

"My name is Li Miaomeng, my parents have gone out to work, only my grandmother is at home."

"How old is your grandma?"

"It's over 60." Li Miaomeng paused, thought for a while and said, maybe she can't give an accurate number of how old her grandmother is.

"Well, take me there."

The place where Li Cheng is located is Lijia Village, and most of them are surnamed Li, which is also the situation in most rural areas, and they are all members of the same clan.

After Claire finished taking a few photos, she entered the photography mode again, following behind Li Cheng and Li Miaomeng, and making narration introductions while shooting.

Came to Li Miaomeng's house, looking at the appearance of the four walls of the family, Li Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship, this is what an ordinary village looks like, basically there is no excessive furniture, because the young man is not at home, it looks cold, Li Miaomeng's grandmother is lying on her back, sitting on a small bench cutting pigweed, and basically doing farm work all day.

Li Cheng's family was originally like this, but after Li Zhiwu came back during this time, he got better, built a big house, and let his mother live in a big villa, and he didn't have to work so hard, and he planted some vegetables and fruits on the courtyard when he couldn't be idle, which was also a way to cultivate his sentiments.

"Hello old man." Although everyone is from the same clan and is still in the same village, Li Cheng is not often in the village, and it is normal not to know each other.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, we're just going to take a look, if you don't mind, can I talk to you about your son and daughter-in-law?" Li Cheng also wanted to understand the reality of left-behind children and the elderly who were lonely.

The old man seemed to be mentioned on a sad topic, hugged Li Miaomeng, and said: "Miaomeng is 8 years old this year, but the time to stay with his parents is only the time of the New Year, when Miaomeng was only 2 years old, they went to work together in eastern Guangdong, hey, now when it comes to Miaomeng's parents, she has a vague impression, I'm really afraid that the two of them will go home, and Miaomeng won't know her parents." ”

"Cheng, don't the parents of this child bear the obligation to support them? This is punishable by imprisonment in Canada. Claire said in English, which they didn't understand.

The old man's words just now, Li Cheng translated it to Claire, Claire is also filming, this contact with families in rural China, Claire has gained a lot.

Li Cheng explained: "The little girl's parents have to go out to work to earn money to support the family, if they don't go out, farming in the countryside alone is not enough to support the family, mainly because there is too little farming, and the millet planted can only provide the family's rations, but if there is no source of income, other expenses are a problem, and they also have to support the little girl's education and living expenses. ”

The number of left-behind children and the elderly in rural areas is on the rise, mainly because it is difficult to maintain a balance in the countryside alone, and there is no way to do so, so they have to go out to work and save some money for emergencies.

"Oh, I see, but I'm sure I can survive anywhere if I try."

"That's right, going out to work isn't the only way to support your family." Li Cheng thought of another aspect, and after chatting with the old man for a while, Li Cheng asked: "Old man, are there still people mining in the coal kiln?" ”

Private coal kilns are rampant here, and the development of coal resources has made this place have an additional way to earn money, that is, to dig coal!

"Also, but it's hard work and it's extremely dangerous, so no one dares to dig coal unless they have to." The virtue of private coal bosses, Li Cheng also understands that these local tyrants are also buying their lives with money.

"Well, thank you, old man." Li Cheng walked to the nearest private coal kiln through her guidance, where there are still a lot of people who have made a fortune because of the coal mine, but they are all outsiders, not locals, so they don't care about the protection of the environment at all, just make money, so that the underground coal resources are less at the same time, but also leave a great hidden danger, so the probability of accidents in private coal kilns is very high.

"Claire, we're going to a coal mine later, it's definitely not safe anywhere, you just wait outside."

"Coal mines? I've been to the gold fields of Alaska, so there shouldn't be any danger in the coal mines, right? "There are a lot of gold diggers in the United States and Canada, and Claire has been there to shoot, so the experience is probably much more dangerous than that. (To be continued......)
