Chapter 18: Let's go back to our hometown for the New Year
No matter how far away we are, home is never far away.
Luo Lan and Ouyang Changzhi's hometown is in Yunnan, and like Shenzhen, it is also a place where there is no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, green and green, and flowers are constantly blooming.
said that he was going back to his hometown for the New Year, but in fact, he was going to Ouyang Changzhi's hometown for the New Year, because there was no one in Roland's house.
Every time he goes home, Ouyang Changzhi is always excited, busy for a year, his thoughts have spread for 365 days, going home means that he can escape from all work, return to his familiar nest, and his favorite family sit around the big round table full of delicious food, drink and talk, around, the little girls are carrying the New Year's money given by the elders in their pockets, holding candy and toys in their hands and running around the house, the little boys cover their ears, stand outside the gate in groups, and light all kinds of fireworks, "bang bang bang" The sound is endless.
Therefore, a few days before going home, Ouyang Changzhi had already begun to buy sweaters for his father, cashmere coats for his mother, health care and nutrition products for the elders, snacks, candy and toys for the juniors, big bags and small bags, never too much, just to be closer to home.
Although everyone is embarrassed to go home for the Chinese New Year, whether it is by plane, train, high-speed rail, car or driving home by themselves, each of them is full of difficulties. Those who buy tickets to go home, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, it is always difficult to find a ticket, stay up late and can't grab a ticket, look for scalpers and worry about buying fake tickets, and finally queue up overnight to buy train tickets Returnees have to rush to the ticket gate like a charge, check tickets, get on the train, grab seats, and put bags...... There is no room for slackening in everything, and the spectacle is better than a thousand troops. And those who drive home, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, the highway is always jammed, and a minute has passed, two minutes have passed, half an hour has passed, and an hour has passed...... Finally, I was able to walk for a while, but I had to pause for a sudden traffic accident in front of me, and I scraped all the way down, and almost didn't die.
But, all that, but so what? As soon as you get in the car, your heart will be steady, and as soon as you go home, you will be free.
In contrast, Roland seems to be much calmer, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with him after the New Year, but when he goes to Ouyang Changzhi's hometown, Roland still doesn't reject it, after all, Ouyang Changzhi's parents are still kind and kind people, they never have any requirements for themselves, they are advanced in thinking, and they never urge marriage.
What's even more commendable is that after learning that Roland doesn't like to be questioned about family affairs, they never force them to ask about their own family affairs.
Ouyang Changzhi's hometown is located in a Yao tribe with lush vegetation and good ecological environment, and has not carried out any commercial development so far, which is a place of great national value and maintains the original and simple flavor.
Driving all the way back, the beautiful scenery all the way, Roland opened the car window, and was greeted by the natural fragrance of the mixture of soil and green grass, looking up, it was a large area of forest community landscape composed of evergreen broad-leaved trees and deciduous broad-leaved trees, unknown birds quickly galloped by, wide vision and air full of negative ions, making people feel happy to see and feel happy, dispelling the fatigue of the two of them running long distances.
Ouyang Changzhi's house is located between the green mountains and valleys, is an antique Yaojia wooden building, with a total of four floors, basically made into a homestay.
As the scenery in front became more and more beautiful, after a while, the four-story Yao family wooden building of Ouyang Changzhi's house came into view. At this moment, Ouyang Changzhi's parents were standing under the eaves and waiting.
Ouyang Changzhi and Luo Lan just got out of the car, Ou's father and Ou's mother had already greeted them cordially, and after a while of shouting and asking for warmth, the whole family entered the house happily.
Ou's father and Ou's mother are the first two local college students, in addition, they also did a lot of local first things, such as being the first person in the local county to refuse to eat the imperial grain, and they are also the first few local college students to return to their hometowns to start a business.
Ou's father and Ou's mother's entrepreneurial project is homestay, the earliest positioning is "homestay + rural tourism + poverty alleviation + native products", with the rise of the Internet economy, now it has become "Internet + homestay + rural tourism + native products". On the road of deep cultivation of homestay tours, Ou's father and Ou's mother have also made good results, and their successful entrepreneurial deeds have been featured in the county, city, and provincial media for many times, and even invited by Beijing Satellite TV to do special interviews and reports.
After arranging Ouyang Changzhi and Luo Lan, Ou's father and Ou's mother went to Zhang Luo again.
Today's guests are also quite numerous, and the sound of laughter from tourists makes it through the long corridors, and in addition to some guests from the area, some even come from all over the country.
Ouyang Changzhi took Roland to bypass the bustling tourists, returned to the room of the two, and began to rest after a long journey.
In the center of the room is a new Chinese-style all-solid wood four-poster bed, set off by the soft linen veil, revealing a trace of romance and Zen, diluting the colorful and noisy past in the city, all kinds of old-fashioned furniture around, emitting a low-key dull luster, singing the tranquility of life in silence, against the wall is placed a fabric sofa of simple material, the color is light, elegant and clean, telling the texture and inclusiveness of leisure and comfort, the fabric curtains of the same color can create a calm mind and heal people's hearts without meditation, It further enhances the natural comfort of returning home.
The most rare thing is that when she learned that the two of them would arrive home today, Ou Mu also went out to the mountains in the morning to pick a bouquet of wild flowers, which was placed in a transparent glass bottle next to the sofa at the moment, with an elegant temperament and full of vitality, bringing a touch of natural freshness to the whole space.
"This flower is so fragrant, so fragrant that you can smell it all over the house."
Roland approached and sniffed, and there was still the fragrance of earth.
"Knowing that the two of us will be home today, my mother walked a long way up the mountain to pick it back early in the morning, I told her before that you like all kinds of flowers, when I first met in junior high school, it was because you asked me to have the seeds of impatiens, we began to gradually get to know each other. I really didn't expect her to be relieved of your preferences. ”
"No wonder every time I come over, there is a bouquet of fresh flowers in the room, and Auntie has a heart."
"Rest well, and tell you the good news, there's a bonfire tonight."
Roland asked expectantly, "Really?" Will there really be a bonfire? ”
"Of course, so get a good rest first, and then you can have a good night of fun."
After resting, start to welcome the Yao bonfire party in the evening.
Ouyang Changzhi went to his parents to get two sets of Yao costumes, and after the two changed their clothes, they formed a harmonious and beautiful natural picture with the unique natural environment here.
The party is about to start, Ouyang Changzhi and Roland were instigated to make a cameo appearance as the host of the party folk performance team, and temporarily played on the spot, Roland was still a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Ouyang Changzhi was already familiar with the road, and resolved Roland's embarrassment again and again.
Throughout the night, it was very lively, followed by a series of bamboo pole and bamboo pole dances organized by the performance team, which pushed the friendship party to a climax.
Although his performance was not good, this original national enthusiasm still deeply infected Roland.
Lying on the comfortable bed after a hard work, the body seemed to sink into a huge and soft cloud, and within a few minutes, drowsiness slowly hit.
Just like that, a few days passed, until the early morning of the second day of the new year, the rooster crowed in the morning to wake up Roland, Roland opened his eyes and saw that it was a particularly beautiful rooster, the corolla was particularly beautiful, and he was standing on the wooden pole in front of the window at this time, stretching his long neck, and the sound of "oh oh oh ~ " came and went.
