As the old saying goes, "Insiders look at the doorway, outsiders look at the excitement." ”

But everything cannot be generalized, such as the magic of Xuanmen, which quietly saves people, harms people, causes trouble, and does good...... Ordinary people can't notice it at all, so how can a layman watch the excitement?

"Come on, come ......on, please come in," Zhao Changfu respectfully invited, and said: "The conditions of the Zhuang family are poor, don't dislike it." ”

"It's good. Wen Shuo said politely, turned his head to look at the roof of the house on the west side, sighed secretly in his heart, and followed Zhao Changfu to his home.

The new house has just been built for more than two years, the two-meter-high red brick courtyard wall, the ordinary courtyard gate is two meters wide, the style of the two gatehouses is not there, it is extremely simple, the yard is paved with gravel, and a few pieces of dirt are planted with vegetables, and three bowl-thick elm trees and a jujube tree are planted next to the courtyard wall.

There are three main houses facing south in the north, two small rooms in the west room, a kitchen and a utility room, and a small thatched toilet in the southwest corner.

In front of the three main houses, there is also a half-meter-high platform built of red bricks and hardened concrete.

On the platform, several flower bonsai planted by themselves in the countryside grow particularly festive in the autumn season.

"Huanhuanniang, there is a guest at home. Zhao Changfu shouted loudly.

"Hey. Immediately, a woman's voice was heard in the room.

The two of them walked up the stairs, and when they arrived at the door of the hall, the bamboo curtain happened to be opened, and a woman wearing simple peasant clothes and medium and long hair glanced at Wen Shuo with some curiosity, and then showed a warm smile: "Come in and sit down." ”

"Hello Auntie. Wen Shuo saluted politely.

"Huh?" the woman was stunned, and then nodded hurriedly and said yes, obviously, she was not used to the title of "auntie", and was a little dazed.

There is a broken sack on the ground at the entrance of the house, and when you come back from outside on a rainy day, you can step on the sack with your shoes and rub it a few times to get rid of most of the muddy water, so as not to trample on the floor too dirty.

The floor of the house is made of cement, and there are no floor tiles.

Even so, in Shoutai Village, it can be regarded as a very good home improvement.

Wen Shuo thought to himself, after all, is it the village head, how can he not be better than most of the villagers?

Directly opposite the door of the house, there is a square table, with a few stickers on the wall, and hanging pictures. Under the east wall of the hall is a wardrobe, and under the north wall there is a TV cabinet with a black and white television set inside.

Directly under the windows on the south wall facing the TV cabinet, there are several low stools and a low wooden table in a square.

Obviously, the furniture was made by a home-hired carpenter.

Wen Shuo thought of the old Han Tou's mansion, and thought of the scene he saw when he went to his aunt's house to visit relatives when he was a child.

Good boy!

The village chief's family in Shoutai Village still maintains the style of the 80s and early 90s.

It can be imagined that most of the families in the village are "retro" or maintain the "original" situation.

"Sit, sit down. Zhao Changfu's wife, Fu Yuzhen, picked up the soles, needles and threads on the small table and put them on the windowsill, turned around and went to make tea for the guests: "His father, will you come and tell Gensheng to let him net two fish? ”

On the table behind the table, there are pots, tea leaves, and teacups.

Zhao Changfu had already followed Fu Yuzhen to the table, grabbed the kettle to make tea, and said, "You go back to the house to rest, don't worry, I'll go to the chicken coop outside to catch a chicken and slaughter it later." ”

"Huh?" Fu Yuzhen showed a hint of reluctance, and then nodded and said, "Cheng, then I'll stir-fry for you." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the big teacup that had been brewed and sent it to the small table, and said with a respectful and somewhat cramped expression: "That, there is nothing to entertain in our village, you, don't dislike it." ”

Tea is jasmine crushed tea.

Wen Shuo took this old-fashioned white ceramic teacup and said with a smile: "I like to have one thing to say, Lao Zhao, Auntie, let's just come to the house to chat, everything is simple, if you kill chickens and catch fish, then I will leave now." ”

"This, how do you say that?" Fu Yuzhen said embarrassedly, turning her head to look at her husband.

Zhao Changfu walked over with a teacup in one hand and a warm pot in the other, put the teacup on the table, put the warm pot on the table, sat down and said innocently: "You have to get two good dishes, you are a rich man from a big family in the city, in our poor place, to come to my Zhao Changfu's house as a guest, it is something that makes me have a long face, I can't help but know how to count." ”

Wen Shuo's eyelids drooped slightly, and said, "I have my mind, I don't like trouble." ”

"Then, then you sit down first, I'll go cook the whole dishes in the house......" Zhao Changfu could see that Wen Shuo was a little unhappy, and he could understand what was going on after a little pondering-no matter how well you did, how good could you go?

Coming to the house is just a pastime and chatting.

Zhao Changfu got up and went to the "cooking house", that is, the whole dish in the kitchen, Fu Yuzhen took the soles and needlework on the windowsill to sit down at the table, and chatted while holding the soles: "Big brother, my old Zhao is not very good at talking, but there is one thing, people's hearts are real, last night I discussed with me to invite you to come to the house for dinner, and also greeted Gensheng at the back of my house, and asked people to help net two carp back." We don't have any good things in the countryside, and here are the guests, that is, to make fish and kill chickens......"

"It's good. Wen Shuo smiled and glanced at Fu Yuzhen casually.

It can be seen that Fu Yuzhen's physical condition is not very good, not to mention that she is sick, but her body is weak, it should be due to the long-term invasion of weak but evil qi, and now she can sit and lie down normally, and she still has a mental state to do some housework, thanks to Zhao Changfu's care for her, she was not allowed to do heavy work, nor did she dislike her, let her maintain a good attitude, otherwise, people would have collapsed long ago.

"Alas. Fu Yuzhen sighed, and said a little apologetically: "In the past two years, our mother and wife have dragged Lao Zhao down, originally he was quite capable, he could contract work outside, and lead seven or eight descendants in the village to earn money together, but, but my mother and wife don't know why, their bodies are so weak that they can't do it, and they get sick every once in a while, Lao Zhao doesn't worry about our mother, so he no longer goes out to work to earn money, alas." ”

Wen Shuo smiled and persuaded: "It's okay to keep the house on the ground, besides, Lao Zhao is still the village head......

"What's the use of being a village chief, alas, it's just putting a lot of pressure on your shoulders. Fu Yuzhen said helplessly: "No one in the whole village is willing to be the village head, and the salary is 180 yuan per month, but when has there been money in the village's account?

Wen Shuo was stunned.

Originally, he felt that Zhao Changfu, the village chief, was aggrieved, and the villagers dared to jump and scold him wantonly, but he never thought that he couldn't earn money.

The wages are not much, which is the same all over the country.

But even Wen Shuo, a young man who has lived in the county since childhood, knows that the village chief's income is quite high, because he has extra money.

Zhao Changfu, the village head......

How did he do it?

While speaking, the door of the west bedroom opened, and a young man who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, about one meter six tall, thin and weak, and his face was weak and pale.

"Huanhuan, why are you going?" Fu Yuzhen quickly got up and asked.

"Pee. Zhao Huan whispered.

"Don't go out, it's raining outside, mom will bring you a urine bucket, go back to the house quickly." Fu Yuzhen stepped forward and pulled her son back to the west bedroom, and then came out to Wen Shuo with an embarrassed and apologetic smile, and hurriedly went to the platform outside the door and carried the urine bucket into the west bedroom.

After finishing all this, Fu Yuzhen, whose body was already weak, was already out of breath, and sat back with a sneering expression, not knowing what to say for a while.

Wen Shuo said casually: "Huanhuan is sick?"

"Cold, fever, ......" Fu Yuzhen said bitterly: "I often do this, I went to the hospital in the city for several examinations, and there was nothing wrong with it, so I said that I should pay more attention when I go back, add more nutritious food, and exercise more, alas." ”

Wen Shuo was silent.

He was already sure that Zhao Changfu's purpose in inviting him to his house for dinner and drinking was to hope that he could help him see if his wife and son were weak and sick, and whether they were suffering from any deficiency disease.

As for how Zhao Changfu learned that he could see the virtual disease......

In Shoutai Village, at the Fengliangtai Ruins, a place where the straight line is more than two thousand miles away from the capital and Dongyun, Zhao Changfu could only know it in one way, and it was by chance - when he chatted with the college students, graduate students, international students, and even the teachers who led the archaeological team, he heard a certain news.

Then, Zhao Changfu fell ill and rushed to the doctor.

In fact, judging from the current situation of Zhao Changfu's family, his wife and son are both weak and sickly, and his physical condition is healthy.

Judging from Zhao Changfu's daily words and deeds, he is not the kind of person who is arrogant and domineering, so he will not be ruthless.

Then, he should have had the experience of enlisting in the army.

The iron-blooded spirit of the army will gradually wear out as the time of leaving the army becomes longer and longer, but in the special group of the army, the cultivated mental nature often accompanies a person's life.

In this era, people who come out of the army, especially those with a special sense of responsibility, are basically not superstitious, and even show a strong disgust for it.

Therefore, Wen Shuo judged that Zhao Changfu invited him to come, firstly, because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and secondly, he decided in his heart that he was a proud son of heaven who came out of Beijing University, and Wen Shuo could not be superstitious, but ...... Well, Chinese medicine, home remedies!

Accepting the invitation to come to the house, Wen Shuo was completely out of curiosity.

When I roughly guessed the reason at the entrance of the alley, I didn't refuse anymore, and I was a little bit of an occupational disease, wanting to see what the situation was.

And now, Wen Shuo feels that his trip is worth it.

Traveling thousands of miles, how can it be a long insight?

What is more important is the cultivation of the mind, the expansion of thinking, and the improvement of thinking.
