On New Year's Day, Zuo Xiaoyou, Zhang Ayi, and Zhang Acai sisters, together with Mrs. Ren, went down the mountain to send warmth.

It's a new year, and the villagers at the foot of Liangshan are still living in poverty. Although they were well fed and warmly dressed, they ate cheap rice, pickles, and sweet potatoes, and wore dirty, old and tattered clothes, just like the peasants of the eighties.

People's hearts are long, living here for more than a year, Zuo Xiaoyou has long regarded the villagers here as his own villagers, and will buy a bunch of things to give to the villagers every New Year's Festival, so that they can improve their food.

In addition, since last autumn, Zuo Xiaoyou has been buying grain cultivated by villagers at high prices. Everyone in the village has land, and in addition to the food they eat, they will have some food left over every year, and go to the mountains to exchange some money and buy something.

However, it is difficult to travel on the road outside the mountain, and you can't bring much at a time, and the price given outside is not high, which also discourages the enthusiasm of many villagers.

Last year, when I saw the harvest of the autumn harvest, I was moved. First, I asked the villagers about the price at which they usually sell grain, and then I went to the county grain station to ask them about the selling price. Roughly calculated, the villagers can only sell one pound of rice for one catty, while the selling price of the county grain station is two and a half yuan. It's just profiteering, and it's also sucking the blood of farmers.

Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't stand it, so he simply collected grain from the villagers at the price of two and a half yuan outside. Last year, when the autumn grain was harvested, more than 20 tons of rice and noodles were harvested, and each family earned hundreds or thousands of yuan. This is also because the villagers could not sell their grain at a high price in previous years, and they could not sell it, so they reduced their arable land. This time, with the acquisition of Zuo Xiaoyou, the villagers have begun to plan to cultivate more arable land and a variety of grains during spring ploughing, so as to make more money.

Zuo Xiaoyou also assured them in front of the villagers that as long as they had grain in their hands, he would buy it at the highest selling price outside. However, he also has a request, that is, the villagers' food must be clean and not mixed with some messy things.

The villagers are unpretentious. But the villagers also have a bad habit of taking advantage of small advantages. People in their thirties should have had this experience, when they were young, the rice at home always had to be washed several times before it could be cooked.

Why? Because there are a lot of small stones in the rice, if you go directly to the pot, it will definitely break your teeth. Guo Da once acted in a sketch called "Changing Rice", he was a typical representative of the peasants of that era, and the rice he changed boasted that it was very clean, but in fact, when he grabbed a handful, he had to blow out the sand grains, which was very unclean.

It can make the rice cleaner, but why are there small stones? The reason is simple. If you mix five cents and one or two small stones with a pound of rice, you can earn an extra five cents; Ten catties of rice mixed with one catty of small stone grains can earn an extra five cents; If you mix 100 catties of rice with 10 catties of small stones, you can earn an extra five yuan.

What could you buy for five bucks in the eighties? At that time, in a small county town, one fritter was one cent, a bowl of wheat porridge was two cents, and the meat and bones were only five cents. Save a little frugality, and only five cents for a meal per person. Five dollars is ten meals.

The poverty of the year is unimaginable for young people now, even if it is a serious post-80s, there are many people who can't afford to eat eggs when they are young. Even the children of the 90s had many tastes of poverty.

Really worry-free from an early age. What do you want to have children, basically post-zero.

Zuo Xiaoyou wanted to try his best to help the villagers in the mountains, but he didn't want the villagers to be helped by him and trap him. Why are there so many people who do good deeds. In the end, you were disheartened and didn't do it? In fact, there are many groups of people who are being helped who die on their own, thinking that it is natural for others to help them, so they pick their noses and eyes. I really thought that someone else owed him.

When the people who helped them really left, they were all confused.

Fortunately, the villagers in the mountains are still very kind and grateful, and every household has made the food very clean. Left and right are good to them, and they will sincerely reciprocate.

On New Year's Day this year, according to the head, each person was given five catties of quick-frozen dumplings in vacuum. It's winter, and even though Liangshan is located in a basin, the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, which is perfect for food preservation. Five catties of dumplings per person, one can be eaten in two days.

Zuo Xiaoyou has always taken care of the villagers like this, almost every time he pays for free, so that the villagers love him more and more, but it is a pity that Zuo Xiaoyou lives in the mountains all the year round and does not spend much time with the villagers, otherwise the villagers would want to nominate him as the village head.

"Brother Zuo, you have to have a glass of wine with me today." As soon as Zuo Xiaoyou finished dividing the dumplings, he was grabbed by the village chief: "If you don't drink it, believe it or not, I'll die head-on?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou was angry and funny: "Village Chief, what are you doing on a big holiday?" Are you looking for something to do with me? ”

"It's okay, I just want to thank you." The village chief grabbed his left little right arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Let's go, go to my house, let's not get drunk today. ”

It's hard to be warm, the village chief is in his sixties, and Zuo Xiaoyou is afraid that he will be in a hurry, so he can only go home with him.

The village chief's family is relatively wealthy in the village, at least the family house is a relatively beautiful two-story building. The village chief is in his 60s this year, with two sons and a daughter, and three grandchildren, three granddaughters, plus two grandsons and a granddaughter.

However, the daughter married into the city, and the grandson and granddaughter also lived in the city.

The two sons of the village chief also bought houses in the county seat and have been living outside. The grandchildren are also older, and they are about to find a partner to marry. In the family, there are only two people, the village chief and his wife, and the grandchildren will only come to the village to live for a period of time during the winter and summer vacations, but because of the difficult mountain roads, the children and grandchildren of the village chief have come to the village less and less often over the years.

The children in the city are too poor in physique, how can they stand the bumps in the mountain road!

When Zuo Xiaoyou came to the village chief's house, the village chief's wife had already prepared lunch. Lunch was simple, a plate of hot and sour cabbage, a bowl of stewed chicken that seemed like leftover from last night, and a bowl of boiled sweet potatoes with rice.

"Wife, go cook some dumplings again." The village chief threw the five catties of dumplings given to him by Zuo Xiaoyou to his wife, and went to the table with Zuo Xiaoyou.

The poorer the place, the lower the status of women, even in the village chief's family. The wife of the village chief is a very virtuous woman, married for more than 40 years, a conscientious husband and children, not only housework, but also farm work, for decades, tanned. Even though she was not yet sixty years old, she looked like an eighty-year-old lady.

comparatively. Because the village chief sits in the office all the year round, the maintenance is not bad, and the people in their 60s look the same as those in their 70s...... Khan, too, looks old.

The people in the village do not pay attention to maintenance, and usually work more, so they are very old. Two years ago, Zhao Yazhi, who was in her early sixties, went to a nursing home to visit the elderly of the same age, and those old people were really old, older than their age, and they looked like they were seventy or eighty years old. But Zhao Yazhi was like a forty-year-old lady, still wearing a short skirt and exposing her thighs, making the old men at the scene stare straight at each other.

It's embarrassing! When ordinary people reach the age of sixty, they are already old cabbage sticks, and they are engraved with the wind and frost of the years, but Zhao Yazhi of the same age stands with them and puts it in a fashionable sentence: The style of painting is completely different!

"Come, Brother Zuo. There is no good wine at home, it is all home-brewed, try it. The village chief poured a glass of liquor and handed it to Zuo Xiaoyou, who looked at the half-catty wine glass. "It's too much, I can't drink so much." ”

"This is rice wine, sweet, you must be able to drink it." The village chief said.

"Oh. Rice wine shop. ”

To be honest, I'm used to eating what I cook and then eating what others make. It just doesn't taste right in your mouth. Fortunately, Zuo Xiaoyou is not a picky person, plus the meals on this table are all green and pollution-free food, the taste is still very good, and Zuo Xiaoyou eats okay.

It didn't take long for the dumplings to slip away. Zuo Xiaoyou originally beckoned the village elder's wife to take a seat, but the old lady smiled and declined: "Men eat, women can't go to the table, you eat!" I'm eating outside. ”

"......" Zuo Xiaoyou sighed in his heart: The poor are poor, and there are many poor problems.

It's no wonder that the young people who walked out of the village didn't want to go back to the village, there were so many rules in the village, how simple and comfortable it was like in the city. Moreover, the education and medical conditions in the city are much better than in the villages, and there is really not much to be nostalgic for young people in the countryside except for the air. Maybe only when you are old and should retire will you yearn for the countryside!

Of course, the countryside here refers to poor villages, and if it were a place like Huaxi Village, I am afraid that no young people would want to leave.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the village chief ate a dumpling, put the chopsticks down, and said, "Brother Zuo, you will be thirty-two this year!" ”

"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "It's thirty-two after my birthday." ”

"At this age, I haven't had a mother-in-law, not lonely?"

"......" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the village chief and smiled faintly: "Ayi and Acai have grown up." ”

Hearing this, the village chief frowned and said, "Those two female dolls are still young, I think you should find a twenty-year-old who can get married." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Xiaoyou chuckled lightly and said, "Village Chief, I remember that you have two granddaughters, who are just twenty years old. ”

The village chief suddenly smiled: "Brother Zuo is smart." You've seen those two girls, and you haven't picked anything about them, if you like them, let's get married, how about it? ”

"Hehe......" Zuo Xiaoyou put down his chopsticks and said, "Village chief, your two granddaughters are fine, but I already have Ayi and Acai, so I won't delay them." ”

"Brother Zuo, you think about it again." The village chief said: "I know that you are a capable person, it is common for a capable man to have three wives and four concubines, let me talk about those two girls, it must be no problem to live with you and the two girls of the Zhang family." ”

Sweating in the left and right heads, it is worthy of being a poor mountain village that doesn't care about anything, and even this kind of thing can be accepted. However, the two granddaughters of the village chief came back once last year during the Chinese New Year, and they were indeed very beautiful. It's a pity that there is a vanity in his eyes, and he will never like it. (To be continued.) )
