Zhao Weiyang originally wanted to stay in school after the exam, go to work occasionally, and practice his skills the rest of the time, but he couldn't resist missing his family. It happened that Shen Chenjun came to him and said that he wanted to go to see his grandfather and grandmother together, and find his childhood by the way.
Hearing Shen Chenjun talk about his childhood, Zhao Weiyang seemed to encounter the vulgar words written in many books: the softest place in his heart was touched. He agreed without hesitation. Fortunately, there is nothing going on in the insurance company. When Zhao Weiyang went to ask for leave, the leader only told him to come back early after the New Year. For these part-time college students, the company's head and brain didn't expect them to stay during the Spring Festival.
The other students, like Zhao Weiyang, went home. Shang Qianqian and Lin Qian experienced the last incident, and they had a better impression of Zhao Weiyang, leaving Zhao Weiyang the address of their home, saying that they could play with them when they were free. The homes of both of them are near the provincial capital, so it is convenient to come and go. However, Zhao Weiyang had no plans to go to them.
The transportation is convenient, and it is quick and convenient to go back. took the high-speed rail, got off the train and called a taxi, and the two came to their destination in half a day.
On the way, the taxi driver thought they were a couple returning home together, and they misunderstood for a long time. However, Shen Chenjun did not refute, but deliberately let the driver continue his misunderstanding frequently. While asking the driver about things in the countryside, Shen Chenjun also looked at Zhao Weiyang with a smile.
Zhao Weiyang and Shen Chenjun's grandfather and grandmother are in the same village, and they are neighbors. That village is called Xiwangzhuang, which is located in Pizhou, Xuzhou City, Northern Jiangsu, which is relatively backward. That village is close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Wang, and Zhao Weiyang and Shen Chenjun's grandfather are naturally no exception. Moreover, these two grandfathers are still from their own family, if you calculate it carefully, Zhao Weiyang and Shen Chenjun are also distant relatives who can't beat them. However, the relationship between the two in reality is no different from that of brother and sister.
As children, they were already familiar with the scenery of the village. But after getting out of the car, they were still very novel. From a distance, Xiwangzhuang has changed, the thatched houses of the past have long been gone, and there are freshly built buildings everywhere, the outer walls are covered with snow-white narrow porcelain tiles, and the eaves are pasted with crimson porcelain tiles.
Zhao Weiyang used to come to Xiwangzhuang often, but he didn't come because of the nervousness of studying in the three years of high school. I couldn't help but be surprised to see how much this place had changed this time. It is no wonder that Jiangsu's GDP can follow Guangdong and rank second in the country. Compared with here, the Lunan region where Zhao Weiyang is located is lagging behind.
After the two entered the village, they went to visit relatives separately, and naturally they saw each other with relatives and friends, and they were happy.
Compared with the buildings in the village, Zhao Weiyang's grandparents' house has not changed much: the paint on the gate has been stripped away, the black and yellow wood is still showing off the fine material, and only when it is opened and closed does some sawdust fall on the door shaft with a little sadness. Looking up, you can see the vivid carvings on the door bucket, the flowing clouds and hundreds of bats, the deer's mouth contains flowers, the peach is every day, and the magpie climbs the branches...... There are such wood carvings in the door bucket near the old house, the Ming Eight Immortals are carved figures, the dark Eight Immortals are carved with magic weapons, and the large peony blooms on the Yuntou Wat Board is Yutang Ruyi...... There are not many people who can really tell these names. When Zhao Weiyang couldn't walk, Zhao Weiyang's grandfather held him in his arms and pointed to Zhao Weiyang to make it clear.
After dinner, Zhao Weiyang came to visit Shen Chenjun's grandfather and grandmother. The change in this courtyard is not very large, but there are many more facilities inside, which shows the rich life of the owner. There are three main rooms in the courtyard, flanked by side rooms, as well as a kitchen and a hut for honeycomb coal and sundries. On the corner is a toilet, and there will be regular dung pullers outside the courtyard wall, lifting the cement cover and cleaning the manure pit. When Zhao Weiyang was a child, he was very fond of the chestnut mule that pulled the dung cart, and when he heard the bell under its neck, Zhao Weiyang would sneak out the door and lean against the gray brick wall to see its big clear eyes.
At that time, Shen Chenjun was still a little girl with big eyes and a red shirt, always standing there talking to it silently. The door of the main house is hung with curtains all year round, and in winter it is a heavy cotton curtain, and the foot of the curtain is hung with wind-pressed boards; Spring and autumn days are cloth curtains, Zhao Weiyang likes the lake-blue cloth curtain the most, with rain-like lines on it; In summer, it is a green bamboo curtain, the bamboo strips are green, the thread of the woven bamboo strips has to be changed every few years, and the snow-white thread is exposed between the bamboo strips little by little, like two strings of beads embedded in it.
Shen Chenjun's grandparents lived a very particular life, paying attention to every detail, and there were no traces. Paying attention to it is not necessarily extravagant, the same black pimple kohlrabi is the same as those people in the village bought from a pickle stall, Shen Chenjun's grandmother will cut these kohlrabi as thin as hair, order balsamic vinegar sesame oil, and eat it with white rice porridge. It is not like the people in the village, who cut the black lumps into black "purlins" and run around the village to chew them in steamed buns.
Particular people must be clever, and Shen Chenjun's grandmother is clever. It's a pity that Shen Chenjun lacks understanding in this aspect and hasn't learned any cooking skills. However, she still learned some special skills under the awakening and teaching of her grandmother, such as locking buttonholes, sewing quilts, drawing simple patterns such as butterflies, morning glories, kittens and fishing on the real good cloth, and embroidering door curtains or cloth with various silk threads.
Zhao Weiyang said to Shen Chenjun: "It's a pity, in the city, you can't use these skills." ”
Shen Chenjun asked her, "Then do you like my skills?" ”
Zhao Weiyang nodded and said, "Of course!" ”
Shen Chenjun smiled and said, "Then it's not wasted, it will definitely be used!" ”
Zhao Weiyang and Shen Chenjun's childhoods are similar, they are both carefree and "pollution-free" childhoods that they read in the village. After entering university, the more I interacted with people, the more I learned about a different childhood. Zhao Weiyang's generation of city people can probably be classified as the first generation of only children after family planning became a national policy, and they were once called "little princesses" and "little emperors" by newspapers. Compared to them, the children in the village are much poorer.
For as long as Zhao Weiyang can remember, he has often studied here. Grandfather, grandmother and Zhao Weiyang lived in two rooms in the main house, separated by a hall. Therefore, unless there are occasional distant relatives and friends who stay overnight, Zhao Weiyang's childhood nights are spent alone. There was always something that disturbed him and made him curious before I fell asleep. For example, in spring and autumn, it is the smell of flowers and plants in the yard, and if it rains, there is still the sound and smell of rain, but in winter, it is so quiet, especially after the snow, as if the world is frozen and you can't breathe. Zhao Weiyang huddled in the quilt, and the dry branches under the snow made a subtle cracking sound...... At this time, Zhao Weiyang's heart will suddenly be grabbed and pulled by something, and the sleepiness will never come again, and he will always turn over - that is because Zhao Weiyang is too young to know that feeling is called loneliness......
