Yang Nan got on the Passat of the little gambling god, a few boys leaned the flag out of the window and waved, excitedly set off, compared to everyone's excitement, Dou Qi was a little dull, and he didn't know if Yang Nan could cure his mother's illness.

Dou Qi's house is located in Guojing Village, Qingshi Town, Fenglin County.

Two cars got off the national highway and entered the country road, the fresh rural atmosphere came to the face, on both sides were green wheat fields, the golden ears of wheat undulated, the breeze blew like ocean waves, the fragrance of the earth came to the face, refreshing, refreshing, if it were not for those low and dilapidated houses, it was easy to think that it would be a good choice to live in seclusion here.

After walking another section of potholed dirt road, I finally arrived at Guojing Village two hours later.

According to Dou Qi's instructions, the two cars came to an adobe house.

Looking up, there was a dilapidated courtyard in front of it, and in the courtyard was a low adobe house, the walls and skins had fallen off, and the adobe inside was exposed in many places, and the roof was gray asbestos tiles, which looked a little shabby.

In stark contrast to this adobe house, there is a magnificent five-door two-section building on the left, with bright windows, carved beams and cornices, pavilion railings, new brick walls pasted with green water-patterned tiles, tall walls are blue red bricks, the big iron door is a thick copper ring, and the wide door face is enough to accommodate a Dongfeng car to enter and exit.

In contrast, the already short adobe house looks even more dilapidated, like a beggar standing next to the general eating dirt, one tall and majestic, the other rickety and obscene.

"Brother Nan, Gao Yang, it's here!" Dou Qi got out of the car and said in a sneer, pointing to the earthen house in front.

"I'll go, I thought your house was over there." The little gambler smiled and pointed to the grand second-section building with a brick structure over there.

"Huh!" Hearing him, Dou Qi grinned and looked a little embarrassed.

"Fatty, stop kidding." Yangnan Road. Gao Yang smiled wryly, this gate couldn't open at all, and a few people parked the car outside, and Dou Qi had already stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a long time, a woman's voice came from inside, "Who?" ”

"Auntie is me!" Dou Qi said.

The footsteps inside were cheerful, the door opened, and it was a middle-aged woman in coarse cloth clothes who opened the door, looking at Dou Qixi and saying, "Xiao Er, why are you back?" ”

"School is on vacation!" Dou Qi said, and introduced to everyone that this is his aunt, that is, his mother's sister, because his sister is not in good health, Dou Qi's aunt often comes to take care of his sister, and the local dialect is used to calling the old aunt aunt.

"Hello Auntie!" Everyone greeted each other.

"Little two's classmates? Oh, come on, everybody, come in! The woman smiled and let everyone in, but the smile could not hide the sorrow between the woman's brows.

Passing through the courtyard, everyone followed Dou Qi's aunt to the living room, which is actually not a living room, but two rooms on the left and right, with a hall in the middle, and a stove near the door, next to the stove is a pile of firewood, and there is a cupboard next to it.

"Is Xiao Er back?" A middle-aged man with gray sideburns, glasses, and very clean clothes greeted him from the room.

"Dad, these are all my classmates!" Dou Qi said, everyone touched their heads, for some reason since they entered this room, they felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and they were far less excited when they first came.

"Uncle Dou!" Everyone said hello again.

"I'm thirsty all the way, Xiao Er, pour water for everyone." Dou Qi's father said.

"Everyone drink hot and cold water?" Dou Qi smiled, his face was also a little embarrassed, because it was summer, his house didn't boil hot water at all, but he was afraid that everyone would not be used to drinking cold water, so he asked.

"Just cool water!" After such a long journey, several people were indeed a little thirsty and responded one after another.

"I'm going to fetch water for everyone!" Dou Qi's aunt laughed, she didn't take water from the tank, but pushed open the door and went to a well outside and put down the wheel. This kind of thing has become extinct in the city, and it is extremely rare in the countryside, but I didn't expect to see it here, and several people followed out, Yang Nan said: "Auntie, I'll come!" ”

Everyone was curious about this thing, and they all came over, and Yang Nan took the crank of the roller and lowered the rope little by little.

"Brother Nan, you're too slow to fetch water like this, so I'd better come!" Dou Qi smiled and took over the crank of the wheel, and skillfully put his hand on the shaft surface of the wheel, without moving the handle at all, the bone was sluggish, and the wheel automatically rotated under the action of gravity, and the rope holding the bucket extended downward, and the bucket fell on the water.

"Damn, skilled enough!" Several people raised their big fingers one after another.

Dou Qi smiled, shook the rope lightly, the bucket was filled with water, and then he shook the handle and pulled it up, and the bucket was clear well water that could clearly show the figure of the person.

A few of them laughed, what to do is a science, don't look at this thing simply, ordinary people really can't play it.

Several boys have scooped water to drink, wow, cool and sweet, refreshing to the end, it is so refreshing to drink this water in the hot summer. To hell with this kind of water, the mineral water that has been advertised on TV all year round will be gone.

Because of the refreshing drink, the little gambler was about to pour half a scoop of water into it as soon as he raised his neck, but was pulled by the old aunt next to him: "The child drink slowly, this water is cold, and it hurts the stomach too quickly, and the children in your city are not used to it." ”

"Uh......" everyone thought about it, and this slowed down the speed of drinking.

After the gang finished drinking, they poured the water into the vegetable furrow next to them, and then continued to draw water from the top of the vegetable bowl with their wheels, and had a great time.

Dou Qi's father, Lao Dou, also went outside, lit a cigarette and looked at the small two-story western-style building next to him in a daze, his face full of sadness when the smoke was swirling.

Here Yang Nan was about to say that he would see Dou Qi's mother, but he saw Dou Qi walking up to his father and asking, "Dad, why didn't you see your eldest brother?" ”

His eldest brother's name is Dou Hu, so he settled in the countryside to farm, and sometimes went to the county seat to work.

"Alas!" Old Dou sighed.

"He was arrested and put in the township police station!" The old aunt next to her answered.

"Why are you talking to your child?" Lao Dou blamed his sister-in-law, and then scratched his head, and was a little embarrassed, his wife was sick in bed, and his eldest son was arrested.

"Brother-in-law!" The old aunt said angrily, "The classmates of the second child are all from the city, and their heads are bright, tell them, maybe I can come up with a solution." ”

Dou Qi's father pondered that this was also the case, after all, he had never seen anything in the world, and the farthest was to go to a nearby county seat, maybe this child really had something to do, so he didn't stop it.

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Nan couldn't help asking.

The old aunt turned her head and glanced at the magnificent two-story building next to her, and said in a low voice: "It's not the old Wang's family who built a building to make trouble." ”
