Chapter 284: Long-lost comfort
The room is a standard single room, a bed, a sofa, a bathroom, hot water, a solar water heater on the roof, Li Xiaobai took a cold shower comfortably, cooled down, and flushed hot water, and the whole body was comfortable.
The bed is very soft, there is the smell of the sun, when it is time to eat, the old man came up and knocked on Li Xiaobai's door, he is now a guest in the guest house, invite him to go down to have a meal together, do not charge money, Li Xiaobai is disrespectful.
A few very simple farm dishes, fried tomatoes with eggs, hot and sour water spinach, fried carp, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, are all very common things, and the amount is not much, it can be seen that the old couple is specially adding dishes for Li Xiaobai, the guest, the old woman's craftsmanship is very good, the rice is also very fragrant, it is planted by the old couple themselves, Li Xiaobai feels that he can eat two large barrels of rice.
While eating and chatting, Li Xiaobai said that he was the owner of a small farm on the other side of XA, and he came here to find his long-lost relatives. The old couple also talked about their family's situation, raising two sons and two daughters, both of whom have started a family, but they don't like to move to a city where they don't know anyone, and insist on staying in the county where they were born and raised.
Speaking of Wowo Village, the old grandmother has a little impression, she is a Yao people, over the mountains Yao, before the liberation of the old man heard the old man talk about Wowo Village, it is a very large Miao village, rarely with outsiders, but very rich, almost every girl's silver jewelry has more than 30 pounds, but unfortunately not married, is a well-known rich village, many people speculate whether they dug silver mines in the mountains.
However, the people of Wowo Village do not interact with outsiders very much, but it is a strange thing, they like to buy pigs. Basically, I have to buy hundreds of big pigs every month. That was before liberation. People are very poor, and the local supply of pigs is not available, and they will even spend a lot of money to buy pigs from other provinces. This back and forth, everyone has a new guess, hundreds of pigs a month, you can't eat them all, so why do you want so many pigs? Raising Gu? Or is it a priest mountain god?
But at that time, there was a warlord who wandered to this area and did not believe in evil, and brought thousands of people with him. Hundreds of guns tried to loot that wealthy village, but it was gone, and since then people have regarded Wowo Village as a taboo, and nothing has been mentioned, and over time, there are fewer and fewer people who know Wowo Village.
There is only so much that the old man knows, she also heard the old man say when she was young, she has never been to Wowo Village, but so many years have passed, who knows if Wowo Village still exists. Or maybe it's not called by that name. It stands to reason that Wowo Village is so rich, if it still exists. I guess the name was changed, and most people moved out of there.
Deep in the mountains, if it weren't for the social turmoil before liberation, who likes to drill into the mountains and forests to be with wild beasts, not to mention anything else, the overwhelming and ubiquitous insects can kill people.
The old man participated in the war against Vietnam back then, and once a company of people spent the night in a strange forest, who wanted to wake up and find ...... More than half of them were poisoned in their sleep by a small insect bite from an unknown species. Not only was he poisoned, but another insect laid eggs under the skin on the corpse, and countless dense small maggots moved under the edematous skin of the dead man.
This life is completely guaranteed by burning incense to the mountain god on a regular basis.
After chatting, the meal was finished, Li Xiaobai helped the two old people wash the dishes, and went to the streets of the county seat.
There are not many young people in the county, mainly middle-aged and elderly people, as well as children, this is the status quo of China under the rapid economic take-off, most of the young people go out to work hard, in order to broaden their horizons, for money, for a better life, which has long been a large number of left-behind elderly and children.
It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.
Chinese people have always attached great importance to the concept of family morality, but the rapid development of modern society, the fast-paced concept of economic life, the Westernized view of the supremacy of interests, and extreme money worship and liberalism...... Under the impact of such concepts, there is not much left of this concept.
All right? Isn't it good? Who knows what the way is?
Anyway, in Li Xiaobai's generation, there have already been a large number of money worshippers, who only look at money, and liberals, who don't want to be restrained, don't want to get married, don't want to have children, rotten houses and rotten girls, and they are elated during the foreign festival, and they are not interested in traditional Chinese festivals.
Thinking about it, Li Xiaobai unconsciously walked into an Internet café, there are a lot of young people here, most of them are playing the very popular game "LOL", Li Xiaobai has heard of it, I don't know it very well, many people are smoking, underage, there are "little environmental guards", Li Xiaobai doesn't have to smoke their second-hand smoke.
Opened a machine, think about it, how long has he not been to the Internet café this kind of place to surf the Internet, for a long time, after turning on the machine, I found that there was nothing to do, so I had to land on the penguins that I hadn't used for N years, I thought there were few living people, most of the children had grown up, and the former classmates are now pro-some, that is, Chen Guobiao, a high school tablemate who helped in the farm, and others...... Most of them didn't contact again after graduation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it was launched, the penguin's avatar flashed non-stop, click on it to see, first of all, the penguin's various undisciplined advertisements, and then, a large string of messages from my sister, the avatar was dark.
The earliest messages, even more than a year ago.
From "Brother, why don't you go online", "Brother, I miss you, where are you", "Brother, I'm in love", "Brother, I'm ......", etc., my sister seems to use this penguin as a channel to confide in Li Xiaobai, the brother.
Incompetent, Li Xiaobai read it line by line, sentence by sentence, and found that the last piece of news was today, and the uncle and aunt told her that Li Xiaobai was back and went to the capital, and thought that he would stop by to see her...... It didn't, and she was happy for a long time, sending a lot of angry expressions.
Li Xiaobai smiled dumbly like a fool, this ...... It's really his fault.
The chat window shook for a moment, and Li Xiaobai found that his sister's avatar didn't know when Lu Dao lit up, and sent a picture...... Washboard, and then another picture was sent...... Keyboard.
His big girl is still angry.
The Internet café was a little noisy, so Li Xiaobai didn't turn on the voice, and typed: "Don't be angry, I'm in Gui Province now, I have something to do, I will go back to the capital in a few days, and I will definitely go to see you then." ”
Li Liqin said: "It's about the same, by the way, I heard that the lychees in Gui Province are very cheap, I want them." ”
Li Xiaobai said: "Can't you buy it in the capital?" ”
Li Liqin first sent an aggrieved expression, and then said: "More than twenty or thirty yuan a catty, I have a toothache to eat, I can't afford it, I'm a junior now, and I'm going to go to an internship in my senior year in the second half of the year, so I can't manage my own money to support myself." ”
It's over, and he sent an angry expression.
I'm about to go out of my senior year for an internship...... This, Li Xiaobai, who was an elder brother, was really derelict in his duty and arrived home, and hurriedly asked, "Where to intern?" Do you find it yourself or do you arrange it by the school? ”
Li Liqin said: "Yes, it depends on personal ability, anyway, I found one by myself, my sister-in-law came to our school to give a speech last week, and I took the opportunity to ask for an internship position." ”
Li Xiaobai wondered: "Sister-in-law? Which sister-in-law? Who's the wife? ”
Li Liqin made a "you know" expression, very indebted, and said: "Who else can it be, my good brother, Cai Yunyun is not my good sister-in-law." ”
Li Xiaobai said: "What? Didn't the family already know that I was acting with her before? And...... Cai Yunyun can give a speech, stuff money to your school, right? "I don't think Cai Yunyun has anything to teach people when she kills Li Xiaobai, just her fiery temperament, it's good not to mislead people's children.
Li Liqin said: "Then you are wrong, brother, they are the top ten outstanding young people in SH City, and the company under his hand has established a long-term cooperative relationship with an international cosmetics brand like Oulanya, and it is said that her net worth is higher than her father, and she can be mixed into the top ten outstanding young people in a place like SH, and she is completely invited by the school to give us a speech, otherwise they are not free." But then again, brother, when will you determine your sister-in-law, I think Chairman Cai Yunyun is good. (To be continued......)
