Chapter Twenty-Seven: I've Never Eaten Wontons, I've Never Seen a Train

Fang Ming stroked his newlywed wife Bai Ling's long black and shiny hair, and spoke again in his newlywed cave room.

"As soon as I saw the old locust tree in my hometown, many stories appeared in front of me, and I wanted to tell them well. If I have the ability, I must hold a press conference so that everyone can understand the past of our Tugang Village.

"Then you will write a book, not only for people to read, but also for future generations to understand the history of Tugang Village.

"Bai Ling, your proposal is so good, I have already intervened in the preparations. It's just that I haven't had time to implement it yet, but I'm going to fulfill this wish.

Fang Ming saw that Bai Ling was full of interest, so he opened the conversation box to talk about his hometown Tugang Village.

Due to the lack of transportation, the people of Tugang Village feel as if they live in a deep well isolated from the rest of the world. You can only see a small piece of blue sky overhead, you can't see the wonderful world outside, and you can't hear the sound of boiling outside.

When I was in elementary school, in order to see what a tractor was, my teacher took us on a journey of more than 20 miles to a neighboring county to see the tractor farmland. Until I was in middle school, I didn't see electric lights, I didn't see cars. The first time I went into Cow City, I went there on foot. I heard that the street lights on the road were electric lights, and I looked at the street lights again and again.

People in a closed state are curious about everything. A teacher in the village who was working in other places brought back an ore radio, which had just set up a high antenna, causing a sensation in the whole village. The house and outside the house were crowded.

The teacher had an uncle who wanted to listen to Peking Opera, but the teacher went on a date with an old classmate. The uncle waited for a whole day with headphones on his head and didn't hear anything. It was almost time to make lunch before he left. I happened to meet this teacher returning. He told the eldest nephew that there was no play today, and I waited in vain all morning. When the teacher went home, he saw that it was not that he had not started the play, but that he had not turned on the switch on the ore radio at all.

At that time, if the young people in the village could enter the cattle city once or go to the county seat, they would immediately become news figures in the village. Under the big locust tree, it becomes a press center.

There was a young man who called for a car, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked like an honest young man. He never left Tugang Village for half a step. Once, he was fortunate enough to follow a passer-by into Niucheng to visit one of his distant uncles. Because they are in the same village, plus blood relations, the two families are very close. He came to his uncle's house and was in time for lunch. What kind of food did my uncle's family eat that day, Che Lai had never eaten it, and Che Lai ate two big bowls in a row, and he ate with relish and his mouth was full of oil.

After returning to the village, he said that his uncle was very close to him, and he had never eaten the meat filling when he cooked delicious food.

"Aren't they dumplings?" Someone asked.

"No, the dumplings don't have that big flash."

"Is it a dough sheet?" Someone asked again.

"Not really, because there's still minced meat in it."

The answer from the car made everyone stunned: "What did your uncle and Yanyan make for you?" How? ”

Che said: "I don't see how to do it, but it's very, very delicious anyway." And I've never eaten it before, and I've never seen it. ”

Later, his uncle returned to Tugang Village from a family visit. Family members and neighbors all asked, "What delicious food did you make for your nephew's car?" ”

His uncle smiled and said, "Wrapped ravioli." ”

Many people in the village have heard of ravioli, but they have never seen them and have not eaten them. There are also people who have never heard of the name ravioli, let alone eat it.

"How's your uncle's house? Leniency not? ”

"Of course, it's not as big as our house, the house is small, and there is a small courtyard. However, the courtyard of the house is ...... with a roof."

"What kind of house does your uncle live in?"

"Building."

The people who knew the building laughed: the car came and called the hall of the building a courtyard.

Chelai also told people: "The main road in that city is wide, flat and clean, cleaner than the rooms in our house." Especially at noon, walking on the road, my feet tremble, it's very fun. ”

This sentence has made many people inexplicable, is it possible that the roads in this big city are empty? Walking on it with elasticity? Many people don't expect that the pavement of the asphalt road is softened by the sun in the hot summer.

Che Lai also said that he saw the train.

"The train was crawling on the ground and running fast. The roar of the train is louder than that of the oxen. The street above the train is very, very straight"......

"Did your uncle take you on the train?"

"There was a train being repaired, and my uncle knew the person who was repairing it, and he took me up to see the ......"

Whoever sees the car coming, let him tell him what he has seen in the city. Many children and young people are envious of Chelai, because he has an uncle in the city, and he can go to the city to walk around and open his eyes.
