Chapter 2 Emergence
Meng Zhen saw himself in the mirror and found that he was already in the bathroom. She hurriedly ran out of the house, came to the courtyard, and looked around, but there was nothing unusual. She felt a little weird today, first she saw an inexplicable lotus pond, and then she "dreamed" of a strange courtyard. It's daydreaming, but it's too real.
"Is there anyone at home?"
There was a knock on the door outside, and while he was talking, the person who came had already pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.
"Someone, who is it?" Meng Zhen came back to his senses and heard the voice and went out.
The visitor was a woman in her forties, wearing a red plaid jacket and dark gray trousers, short hair, and the skin on her face was rough and a little tanned because of the long hours of work. She called for the door and walked in, seemingly familiar with the place.
"Where's home?!" She leaned her hoe against the door, and her eyes as she looked around fell on Meng Zhen who came over.
"You are?" Meng Zhen hasn't seen her, so I don't know who this is? She should have just returned from the field, and her cloth shoes were stained with a lot of loess.
"Yo, you've just moved in. I live behind you and am your neighbor. Girl, I heard that you are the niece of Uncle Qingyu? Will you live in our Zhuangzi in the future? ”
"Yes, I call him uncle, my name is Meng Zhen, auntie, what do you call him?"
Meng Zhen looked at her and didn't recognize her at all, looking east and west, he followed her like a guest.
"Oh, what's your name, Auntie. Our family is also surnamed Meng, the second in the family, and the juniors in the village call him the second uncle, and call me the second aunt. Girl, since you are also from the Meng family, if you don't dislike it, call me second aunt. ”
Aunt Meng spoke very neatly, and from her demeanor and tone, it could be seen that she was a cheerful person.
"Just came over today, when are you going to move?" After a few words, the second aunt walked to the living room, looked at the empty house and asked.
"I'll come over today to measure the house, and then I'll move in after cleaning up a bit."
"You want to decorate, have you found a good master?"
"Not yet, I'm going to go back to the city to find out, do we have any decorations in Zhuangzi?" Meng Zhen asked casually, when she first entered the village, she found that there were several houses in the village that were built very magnificently, some were two-story small buildings, and some were built with three floors, and it was estimated that they were also renovated inside.
"Yes, isn't there an old locust tree on the street of Middle Street, Wang Sanye, who lives next to the old locust tree, is an old carpenter, and he is looking for such things in the village."
"I don't make furniture, I just put a cabinet and put the floor on it. Second aunt, you see that I just came over, and the house has not been cleaned up yet, and there is no place to sit, so let's sit in the yard. ”
Meng Zhen felt that it was rude for people to stand and chat, so he beckoned Aunt Meng to sit down at the well.
"Don't sit down, I'll talk to you and go home. Three generations of Wang Sanye's family have been carpenters, and the ancestral craftsmanship has now been passed down to his son. But today's young people can't look down on the furniture they make, so Wang Sanye's son went to the city to do decoration, and now there are more than a dozen workers under his hands. So if you want to install a house, just go to them, the people in your village are honest in their materials, and the price is not high. ”
"That's great, I'll ask in the afternoon. Thank you, second aunt! ”
Meng Zhen is also a lazy person, if there is a solution that can be solved nearby, she doesn't want to work by herself anymore.
"Look at the girls in your city are polite, our eldest girl is in college in Sichuan, and she is like you, thank you at every turn, goodbye or something, they all live in front and back, you're welcome! Yo, it's time for me to cook, it's noon. Girl, have you eaten, let's go to the house with my second aunt to eat! ”
Aunt Meng looked at the sun in the courtyard and walked out as she spoke.
Meng Zhen also sent her out: "No need, thank you, I still have some things that I haven't done well, and I'll go back to the city after I get it done." You go get busy first, and when I clean up the house, you come to the house to play! ”
"Okay, you get busy first, if there is anything that needs to be moved, call me in the back." Your second uncle will come back in a while, and you can't do the hard work of a girl. ”
Aunt Meng took the hoe, greeted Meng Zhen and rushed home.
"Hey, okay! You go slowly! ”
Meng Zhen saw her walk away, so he closed the door and turned back to the bathroom. The scene just now was definitely not a dream, it must be something strange. She looked at every corner of the bathroom, but nothing changed, what was going on? She stood in front of the mirror and pondered, and suddenly found in the mirror that there was a circle of red mist around the jade bracelet on her hand.
Bow your head and look at the bracelet on your left wrist. This jade bracelet was left to her by her mother, and it was originally a pair. It is said that grandma's mother left it to grandma, and grandma gave one bracelet to her mother and one to her aunt. Later, her mother died in a car accident, and the bracelet became the only thing she left for herself. She has been carrying it since that day and until now. When did it start to become like this, Meng Zhen hesitated to take it off, and the red mist was like a burning flame, all the way around the jade bracelet. She tried to touch the red mist with her hands, but she didn't feel anything. After watching it for a long time, I didn't understand what was going on, and then my stomach began to rebel, forget it, I don't want to think about it, I took the bracelet again, and went to the small restaurant in the village to eat. There's a lot of stuff waiting for you in the afternoon, let's think about this later, this red fog doesn't hurt people anyway.
I went to a small restaurant to eat some dumplings, and came to the house of the third master Wang that Aunt Meng said, and it happened that the old man was at home, so Meng Zhen explained his situation clearly. The fact that she came to settle in Zhouwangzhuang is estimated to be news in this small mountain village, and the villagers have been discussing her for the past two days. How to say that she is also the first person to give up her urban hukou and come here to be a farmer, and she is also a 30-year-old girl. You must know that in this place, women of her age have children who have to go to school, so all kinds of speculations circulate in Zhuangzi.
Wang Sanye should have heard of her, and knew that she would be a person in the village in the future, so he happily agreed. And even the shelves don't need to be bought separately, the old man was originally a carpenter, after Meng Zhen told him the plan he envisioned, Wang Sanye said that the shelves also helped her to ensure that the quality is much stronger than the ones bought outside.
As for the details of the interior decoration, she could talk directly to Wang Sanye's son, and the old man copied his son's mobile phone number to Meng Zhen, saying that he could start work if he was sure.
Coming out of Wang Sanye's house, Meng Zhen returned to his small courtyard. Looking at the courtyard in front of her, she couldn't help but think of that strange scene again: red earth, black earth, quaint wooden houses and clear spring water. This scene is too real, it doesn't look like a dream at all, and how can anyone dream in broad daylight.
You see, this is yellow earth, square, black and red next to it, and in the distance are small cabins, and big trees?? Meng Zhen found that she had come to this place again, yes, it was here, three pieces of land of different colors, wooden houses and springs. She crouched down on the edge of the land, grabbed a handful of red earth, and thought about going back. The scene changed instantly, and now it was back in the courtyard. She let go of her hand, and the red clay she held glowed brilliantly in the sun. Not a dream!
Meng Zhen closed the door and ran back to the bedroom, thinking about the wooden house, and re-entered this strange space. Come out! Back to the bedroom. Like an addiction, she went in, came out, and went in again......
If anyone saw her like this, they must have thought that they had seen a ghost, a big living person suddenly disappeared out of thin air and suddenly appeared again. She went back and forth like a child with a new toy, and she was happy to experiment.
After experimenting N times, Meng Zhen was sure that she was bought one get one free, hehe, buy a yard and get one free, and it was hidden. It's so wonderful that it's called Neverland. She sat beside the hut and thought happily. The three plots of land in front of me are empty, it's too wasteful, will things grow normally here? Remembering the seeds she had just bought today, she came out again and brought in the bucket, shovel and gourd scoop to try first.
Although she hadn't been in the ground, she had watched it on TV, and she opened a bag of seeds, which seemed to be tomatoes, and since they were red, they were planted in the red earth.
Dig a pit, put a seed, cover it with soil, dig a pit again at intervals, and put the seeds...... After planting this small bag of seeds, I found that even the line was not full, and the seeds were bought less! Meng Zhen took another bag, no matter what kind of seed it was, and planted it one by one. I planted the red earth, and then planted it on the black soil, so that I planted all the seeds I bought, and found that the yellow earth was still empty.
She remembered that there were still sprouts in the yard, so she might as well move some over. So he came out with a bucket, dug down the seedlings with the soil, put them in the bucket, and when the bucket was full, he flashed into the manor, and planted the vegetable seedlings in the yellow soil. When all the plants were full, she scooped the water from the spring pool into a bucket with a gourd scoop and began to water it. At first, she was worried that such a small pool of water would be scooped dry, but later she found out that if she took away a bucket, the spring would still come out and fill it again. Seeing this, she was not polite, bucket by bucket, until all the ground was watered. Looking at the irrigated land, Meng Zhen sat down by the spring tiredly. I was so excited just now, I didn't feel tired, and now I'm done with my work, and I feel a sore back. Alas, it's hard work!
The manor really exists, so is the lotus pond also real?! This thought flashed through his mind, and Meng Zhen didn't care about being tired, so he got up and came out of the manor, running all the way to the edge of his land. The lotus pond she saw before was between her wheat field and the mountain roots, and now it was still a wasteland. Meng Zhen ran over with great interest, but was disappointed to find that the lotus pond was like a mirage and had never appeared again.
By the way, it's wasteland now, and she can contract to dig a lotus pond to come out. Meng Zhen thought of this, and hurriedly went to the village committee to find Village Chief Meng.
