On Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers were set off, and Jinbao and his parents reunited, and he and Qiangzi returned on the twenty-ninth of the month. It seems that it has been like this for so many years, the eldest does not return, and the second brother and Qiu Ling are in Chengdu. Zhou Qian said that it was okay if he didn't come back, so as not to be embarrassed, Jin Bao snorted, their Zhou family has always been a joke. Jinbao asked Shengli about some of the situation, Zhou Qian told him everything he knew, and suddenly asked him why he had to inquire every time he came back. Jinbao said that it was the reincarnation of the dominatrix, and he was just curious if such a legendary figure was not as good as him. Zhou Qian said that the girl's life is hard, don't entertain others, Jin Bao said this in his mouth, but he smiled on his face, he was not even as good as one of Shengli's feet.

"Your father and son are just healed of the scars and forget the pain, don't forget, who hurt Jin Cai and squatted in prison back then, he was an enemy for one day and an enemy for life!" Aunt Li admonished beside her. I heard that Sheng Li and Sheng Yang held a banquet to invite the people in the Zheng family's courtyard, this is not clear to show off, there are a few stinky money and I don't know what my surname is, too, Sheng Li didn't know what her surname was.

"Old woman, I've explained it many times, what does this have to do with them, it's not that you haven't disciplined your son well!" Zhou Qian didn't want to mention it again, and Jinbao also felt that the second brother was cheap.

"Hey, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, why do you blame me." Jinbao saw that the war was about to escalate, and immediately reconciled. "Today is the New Year, don't quarrel, otherwise, I will have a psychological shadow." The second elder was laughed at again, how old it is, and there are shadows.

"Old man, is it now that you finally have money, this chestnut tree has become your cash cow." When Jinbao saw that the atmosphere was improving, he was a little happy.

"Well, there is a cornucopia all around the door, and we used to rely on your uncle's family, but now we are also small landowners, and they praise you for doing practical things. Fir trees are commonly planted in the fields returned to forests, and your uncle's family has planted walnuts and chestnut trees, and they are counting on you to help sell them in the future. ”

"It's a small meaning, let them plant some houttuynia and pepper trees in the field, and make use of the land." Now the agricultural products are not enough for him to stuff his teeth, so that the old man can plant and harvest, at least brag about it.

"Houttuynia cordata, isn't that all over the ground, and you buy it too?" Zhou Qian didn't believe that he could buy anything, and Houttuynia cordata had always been only purchased by medicinal herb stores.

"This is in the field, Houttuynia cordata can be used to make soup, cold salad, herbal tea, we mountain people only use it as a prescription, don't believe it, try it next year, it's delicious." The leaves are mixed with cold and put on the fire, and the roots can be boiled in chicken soup and fried. In fact, he didn't eat Houttuynia cordata originally, and it was very popular in Sichuan hot pot restaurants outside, and the taste was really unique.

"Hey, I thought pigs didn't eat that." The only thing Zhou Qian is happy about these years is that he has witnessed Jinbao's gradual maturity.

"Sichuan has long been planted in patches, Houttuynia cordata is the same as konjac, throw it in the ground and leave it alone, choose to plant it in the shade." Thinking about it, there are indeed a lot of good things waiting to be developed in the mountain, but he doesn't have the ability to organize everyone to concentrate on planting and cultivating.

"I know where to plant, but you have to help me sell it." Zhou Qian did taste the sweetness, these by-products are all planted at will, which is equivalent to picking up money. Some neighbors imitated it, and he also bought it back for Jinbao, and by the way, he also made a little difference. The reputation and image of the old couple have also improved a lot.

"I'm buying everywhere, you are all connected, and there is lotus ginger, which is a rare vegetable in the field, and it can be sold for more than 20 yuan a catty, and how much you collect." Jinbao knows that there are a lot of lotus ginger at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, and he has asked his old classmates to plant them in a row, and this seasonal vegetable can be regarded as an opportunity to make money.

"Okay, your kid is very capable, when will you bring a daughter-in-law back?" This sentence stopped abruptly when Jin Bao asked, and the old man didn't follow the routine at all.

"Look, I'm still underage, didn't I say that I was thirty, but I didn't have time." Zhou Qian didn't know when to regard Jinbao as the only hope for inheritance, although his family's reputation was not good, but his own incense still had to be prosperous.

"Heh, I'll be 30 years old in a few years, hurry up and find one back." Aunt Li also followed, she was in good health, and she could take as much as she wanted.

"It's ugly, and it's not gentle, who can look at it!" Jinbao used to dislike himself for being ugly, but now that he has serious things and responsibilities, he finds that ugliness is not a shortcoming, and everyone around him will laugh with him.

"Okay, it's good to have this mentality, and you can meet a good daughter-in-law in the future." Zhou Qian hummed, the ugly monster is cute, and his luck will not be too bad.

"That's nature, come and have a toast! I wish you two elders good health and a long life! The two never seemed to have talked so much, and Aunt Li was relieved to see it, as a family, why bother to be angry about other people's affairs. Over the years, the old guy has also been honest, and he occasionally stayed at home to plant crops in addition to helping with red and white ceremonies, and his speech was much more low-key.

Liang Xiaobin's family reunion dinner was only his parents and him, and the two sisters were married out, and they only came back to pay New Year's greetings in the first month. Her mother nagged her about finding a partner, and Xiaobin said that she was too busy with work to take care of this part.

"There are so many people in the town, you are the deputy mayor, you feel busier than us, we have two days off a week, what about you, how many times can I see you throughout the year?" Mother chattered.

"Mom, this is the benefit of grassroots cadres, doing practical things, unlike your unit, newspapers, tea and endless meetings." Xiaobin casually opened the topic, so as not to always mention marriage.

"Hey! In other words, if we don't do the work, how will the work be implemented? The mother defended herself, and the father felt that what Xiaobin said was right, there were indeed many lazy kings in the office, except for drinking tea, listening to the reports of the people below, and then the meeting minutes were sorted out by the secretary, and they were only responsible for confirming the signature.

In recent years, although the country has been streamlining its administration, many people have a hard background, but they still can't be reduced, and some people who shouldn't go down have also been squeezed out, "Xiaobin, I have always had a question, I agree that you are exercising in the township, but why did you go to the county, and the county began to build Nuwa culture." Pingli is the hometown of Nuwa, and at the same time, it has upgraded and renovated Nuwa Mountain Scenic Area, Tianshuxia Scenic Area, the hometown of eight immortal medicinal materials, and the richest town in Chang'an. If you go to these towns, at least there are political achievements to be remarkable, and the town is a mountain village in the wilderness, with immature mineral resources, lack of practical forest resources, reduced sericulture production, no one grows gynostemma, and tea alone can earn thousands of dollars at most. You say, how have you changed in that mountain, how do young people go out to work, and how do the old, young, sick and disabled people cooperate with your dream of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich? Dad Liang deliberately said these words to test him.

"There will be a way." Xiaobin doesn't believe that it can't be changed, in fact, it has changed a lot in the past two years. The work is overloaded forward, and as a poor place, it has tried its best.

"Now that a large area of farmland has been returned to forest, some people are even more reluctant to farm, play cards every day, eat and drink, and get the subsidy at the end of the year to have a good year." These words are negative and realistic.

"Dad, you are talking about a small number of people, and most of them are still willing to change themselves, mainly because they failed to make the people rich and lost their trust." Xiaobin knows that people only look at the results of all development, only look at the number evaluation, and the economic development of the town is the slowest, but where the geographical location is, it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

"Don't talk about the past, see if you can endure hardships, really worry about the people, and support your father. Hold you, but you have to give yourself a deadline. You have a brighter future, and if you can't do it after working hard, then face the reality and leave. Liang's father was impressed by his unwavering heart, he didn't want to boast, he had to admit that his son was not as impetuous as some young cadres at the moment, and he was also strict and hoped for to be able to calm down and really do things.

"After hard work, there must be results. It is said that you are going to work in the province after the Second Elder Day, which is a happy event, but the road back to Pingli is far away. I also hope that you will strive for more development opportunities for your hometown. ”

"I'm willing to fight for it, but I'm old, and if I can toss for a few years, I still have to rely on you young people. We are communal. Party members must obey the mobilization, and the large-scale development of the western region requires not only slogans, but also some people to work hard for it. There is an old comrade-in-arms there, and his father is also a member of the Communist Party. Production party, surname Qiao, have you heard of it? "Qiao Lao is their most respected senior, but few people know that he is a slinger.

"There are some people with the surname Qiao, you are talking about the old Mr. Qiao Shisheng who is rumored to be very magical, I heard that Liu Sheng asked him to be a soldier back then, and he fought a lot of zhang. It's too much of a coincidence, is he still alive? Xiao Bin was surprised that such a powerful person had come out of such a poor place.

"Yes, the old gentleman is still very healthy, his juniors have all joined the army, and now he works in the province, and I lost contact with Minister Qiao after he was discharged from the army, until I went to a meeting in the province, and the leader of the meeting was him. Since then, we have been in constant communication and working together, and he has special trust in me. ”

"There are only three respected old gentlemen in the whole city, I didn't expect Qiao Sheng to be very healthy, if only when he could go back to the city to see how good!" Xiaobin just thought simply, if Qiao Sheng was willing to come back to visit, then Minister Qiao would take special care of it for the sake of his hometown. But this can only be a fantasy, and the future of the company depends on the hard work of the people themselves.

"This is Mr. Qiao's private matter, don't leak it out." Father Liang understands that his little calculation is clearly unrealistic. Southern Shaanxi is full of mountains, and the old saying is that the mountains eat the mountains, and now no one believes in this view, they only believe that there is a way out when they go out.

"I know, it's just that you're under a lot of pressure to move like this." Xiaobin is worried that his father will be honest all his life, and if he is criticized, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Wherever I go, I work steadily, and everything else goes with the flow." Liang's father has gone through so many years of ups and downs, just relying on a righteous spirit, it is still the same to go to the province, just do his job well.

"You will always be my role model!" Xiaobin saluted him, he had never been a soldier, but he could understand their comradeship, Minister Qiao often appeared in the newspaper, his speech was very clear, concise, and rigid, and he could always give them some strength for these cadres, and he believed that his father would be better when he worked with him.

"Think about it from another angle, if you go to Xi'an in the future, you can be regarded as a revisit, so you still have to visit us often." Mother told me again and again.

"That's natural, but I still have to go back to Pingli in the coming year, I think there is a New Year's flavor here." Xiaobin's heart is always in Pingli, and he doesn't want to toss to Xi'an for the New Year.

"Nonsense, Pingli is the ancestral home, although the grandparents are gone, there are relatives and friends here, and you can't forget your roots wherever you go." My father hopes to retire and return to Pingli for retirement, which is surrounded by mountains, with good air and good people.

"Then let's talk about it, insist on going to the town, do you fall in love with the girl there?" The mother asked, and Xiaobin was a little embarrassed.

"Here it is again, I have become a dirt bun now, who still likes me, the marriage luck has not moved, don't worry. The Spring Festival Gala is about to start, you see, I'll go to Dongdaqiao to watch the fireworks. "Is the person Xiaobin thinking about Shengli, they are just friends, but apart from her, I haven't been moved by anyone over the years. Probably fate has not arrived, and he expects someone to replace Shengli, and then realize the dream for his parents and daughter-in-law.

When I arrived at Dongdaqiao, fireworks went off, and the person Xiaobin wanted to greet the most didn't know what he was doing, every time she didn't say a word, she didn't ask him, and every moment with her was still fresh in my memory. He remembers the debate match between the rich and the poor, and the two worked together wonderfully. It wasn't until after graduation that the dean told him that one of his old classmates had come to the campus to look for him, and that he was the leader of the province, and that he happened to hear the debate outside the studio, and immediately told him that he wanted him and Shengli. It's just that Shengli dropped out of school before finishing his freshman year, and he has to continue to fulfill the dreams of the two. Later, he completed his graduate studies part-time, and the dean repeatedly persuaded him to stay in Xi'an, but he still returned to Xi'an.

Although she knew very little about Shengli, he was her only contact for so many years, and she urged each other to improve and complete her graduate studies. This strength that does not admit defeat will not be too bad anywhere. It's just that between words, she only regards him as a classmate and friend, so he buries these things deep in his heart.

Qiangzi's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was relatively dull, except for urging marriage to nagging Shengli with some bad words, which seemed to have become a topic that their family could never avoid. After dinner, my parents were called by the next-door neighbor to join the New Year, and I guess I didn't come back so late to play cards. I couldn't sleep left and right, so I ran to the roof balcony and the cold wind blew.

Firecrackers rang out in the streets, fireworks flew in the air, and by twelve o'clock there would be more and more beautiful, and the whole town was enveloped in thick firecracker smoke. Even so, the streets are still brightly lit, and in the past, when the electricity supply was turned on Chinese New Year's Eve, it became inferior to kerosene lamps. I can't see things clearly, let alone watch TV. Nowadays, not only do TV programs receive a lot, but they are also very clear, and there is no need to squeeze other people's homes to watch color TVs.

Six years, the sun has quietly changed like this, and Shengli is back, I don't know if she will miss the old one. Her desire to be a barrister made him admire, in fact, no matter what she did, she would not be left behind. It is his favorite place, but every time he returns, he can only shrink into his own house like a turtle. Everyone's memory seemed to be many times better than his, and seeing him never changed the way he looked at him as a murderer.

The mountain in front of it is separated by Shengli and his house, and a small hill is easy to cross, but the mountain of the heart and heart is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. He can only bless Shengli from across the mountain, hoping that there will be no more suffering in her future life and no more bastards like him.

Jinbao called Qiangzi to greet the New Year and asked if he would go up to eat game after the New Year, and Qiangzi asked him what he was bragging about and what kind of game he could have this year. Jinbao said that his father had a few rabbits, and the two smiled, and after talking about it, Jinbao said that Shengli was getting married. Qiangzi suddenly felt weakness all over his body, and in the dark, he staggered down the second-floor bedroom, burying his head and crying......
