Chinese New Year's Eve: The thief of the years
Wen Tong rode a tricycle through a rice field blown by the autumn wind.
This is the lower field of Yayama.
The wilderness of the field.
Yaoshan is a small village surrounded by low mountains in the south, with no shops, no supermarket, only a commissary selling groceries, tobacco and alcohol.
Looking down from the highest mountain around the village, Mount Kamimatsu, which is more than 100 meters above sea level, the shape of the mountain looks like a lying pear.
Grabbing. The head of the "Ya pear" is called Ueno, and the area is small, and the vegetables grown are some home-eaten, cabbage, cabbage, cauliflower, and so on.
In the middle is a residential area.
At the bottom, the largest area of the lower field is sown with rice, green beans, corn, taro, rape, and other cash crops.
The creek gurgles from the mountains, from Ueno to Shimono, and finally flows into the Siyang River.
The main road runs through the center of the village, leading from the middle of the two mountains to the town.
The way to go is basically downhill, but the return journey is relative, how chic it is when you go, how embarrassed it is when you come back.
This section of the road is not friendly to Wen Tong, when she goes, the downhill is too fast, she is afraid, and when she comes back, the uphill is too difficult, she can only get out of the car and push.
So, after getting acquainted with Yaoshan, she chose to take a detour, spending an extra ten minutes, and making a big circle from the field road in Shimono, and arrived at the vegetable market in the middle of the town.
Although the frost is falling today, and autumn is about to pass, it is still early to get cold in the south.
Wen Tong set off early in the morning, the dew had not disappeared, the insects in the fields were chirping, and the tricycle was covered with clean wooden planks and white panicked gauze, which was the tofu she ordered herself.
When I came back, the tofu in the back bucket of the tricycle had been sold out, and the money was exchanged for a small bag of soybeans, a yam, half a catty of pork ribs, a carp, and unwanted vegetable leaves peeled by others in the vegetable market.
The leaves are fed to the pigs.
The tricycle does not carry tofu, Wen Tong can ride faster, all the way to the breeze, as far as the eye can see, the rice turns yellow, the mountains are pervasive, so she can't help but hum a little song.
Wen Tong's video about tofu is only one episode, but she still maintains the rhythm of life she wants as she smelled the chicken in front of the camera that day.
Her account name is her own name, and she is online with her real name like Meng Shi.
However, it is different from Meng Shi who only plays himself at the beep station.
Her current two videos, one is making tofu and selling tofu, and the first issue is picking persimmons and making persimmons that have not yet been released, not only to send to the whole network, but also to send overseas oil rabbits.
Meng Shi said that she never thought of planning for her, so she did it herself.
It was nine o'clock when Wen Tong got home.
Grandma sat under the eaves and saw her riding a tricycle into the yard, so she smiled, got up and walked over to her, and said, "Well, Tong is back." ”
Grandma is literate and understands Mandarin.
She and Meng Shi's grandmother have the same name and the same zodiac, but they don't have the same fate.
My grandmother had a very hard life, so she had to put her heart on Buddhism and chant Amitabha Buddha with the chanting of Buddha.
Grandma is much happier than her, she married Grandpa at the age of fourteen, and since then she has never worked except for the trivial chores of the family, even during the commune period, Grandpa did not let her go to the field to earn work.
Wen Tong was next to the stone mill in the courtyard, pressed down the brakes of the tricycle, stuck it into the buckle groove, jumped out of the car, and pulled out the fish, ribs, and yams from the back of the car.
The carp flutters in the bag, showing its vitality.
Wen Tong didn't ask the enthusiastic stall owner to help kill the fish, she planned to put this very energetic carp into the shallow well behind the house.
The old house is connected to running water, and the well has long been out of water, so it's good to put a fish down.
Grandma reached out and took the bag and said, "Well, Nian just sent those two people away." ”
The two refer to Ren Hu and his wife.
On the 11th, after Ren Hu and Meng Shi left the crew from Ye Shangmo, they were left in Yaoshan by Meng Shi, and today is twenty-four.
The Pavilion of the Clouds. Ten days of rural life made Ren Hu feel tormented, and also made his wife, who had just come to Yaoshan for three days, feel uncomfortable.
Not everyone likes a slower pace of life.
Thirty-one-year-old Ren Hu is like this, Meng Shi asked him to stay in the village, take his wife with him, and take a vacation.
But Ren Hu only felt anxiety all the time.
So he turned this anxiety into a ferocious training for Meng Denian, in order to get out of here as soon as possible to shoot the second season that Meng Shi promised.
Wen Tong heard Grandma say that Brother Nian sent Ren Hu and his wife away, subconsciously looked back at the road outside the courtyard, and then picked up the vegetable leaves in a burlap bag and said, "Well, let him go back to Sijiu City to work." ”
The two of them walked towards the old mansion.
Grandma said, "Well, I'm very busy, have you received the persimmon?" Send him some more persimmons. ”
Wen Tong hung the dried persimmons on the bamboo pole before going out, and said, "Okay." ”
It was noon when Meng Denian returned.
He sent Ren Hu all the way to the airport before coming back.
At this time, Wen Tong and Grandma had already eaten.
Grandma washes two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.
Wen Tong carried a small bucket of vegetable leaves, leftover rice, pigweed, and water to boil into a paste of pig food, and walked to the pigsty next to the old house.
The pigsty is a circle of red bricks close to the old house, with a wooden shed on it, covered with grass, and the ground is poured into a cement floor with slopes, and a pipe is made to connect it to the septic tank, and two buckets of water are carried and flushed every day, and the pigsty is clean.
Wen Tong opened the door of the pigsty, poured the pig food into the trough, and the little pig, who had been looking forward to the white and clean, began to eat as soon as the food arrived.
Wen Tong looked at the piglet, which was already bigger than when he bought it, and felt a sense of accomplishment.
She squatted down, gently stroked the piglet's back, and muttered, "You can kill the pig next year." ”
Enjoying food and massage, the little pig with her tail wagging her tail comfortably has nothing to do with her "evil plan" and still eats happily.
Meng Denian parked the car at the door of his house, told his mother who called him to eat that he had eaten, came out of the back door, walked towards the old house, passed by the persimmon tree, and saw Wen Tong squatting in the pigsty.
He stopped and asked from afar, "Is there anything going on in the afternoon?" It's okay, I'm going to work. ”
Brother Nian learned photography from Ren Hu, but it was just out of response to his younger brother Meng Shi's request.
Just as Meng Shi rarely refuses him, as long as Meng Shi seriously proposes it, he rarely refuses.
However, even if he and Ren Hu studied very seriously, they didn't really put the option of doing full-time photography for Wen Tong into their minds.
He didn't even ask, he didn't think about how much money he would get a month for doing this "part-time job".
Therefore, he didn't know that before Meng Shi went to Sijiu City, he signed an agreement with Wen Tong.
This old house, the family's field, the relationship in the village, Meng Denian, the photographer, and the 200,000 "bride price" were converted into 30% of the "shares" of Wentong Channel, and Meng Shi only participated in the channel's income dividends and did not participate in content decisions.
And this part, half of the income from dividends, will be used as Mengde's salary expenses. Grabbing
In other words, if Wen Tong's channel has no income, Meng Denian really has no salary.
Wen Tong felt very embarrassed about Meng Shi's way of dealing with his own people.
That's why I decided to send the video to all platforms that can be posted, and strive for more income, so that Meng Shi's brother will not be busy in vain.
Wen Tong touched the tail of the little pig, stood up, and said in the still lame Qingshui dialect that he was learning, "Brother Nian, go get busy." Pointing to the chestnut tree on the edge of the bamboo forest, "I think, tomorrow, well, in the afternoon, knock these two chestnut trees down." ”
Meng Denian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, what she said was that she would winch chestnuts tomorrow.
He said in Mandarin, "If you want to eat chestnuts and buy them in the town, this tree is wild, chestnuts are small, they don't taste good, except for when we were children, no one cares about them now." ”
Wen Tong said, "I want to shoot a video. ”
Only then did Meng Denian react and said, "Okay, I'll take half a day off tomorrow." ”
Wen Tong nodded.
Meng Denian walked back, didn't take two steps, turned back again, pointed to the half of the mountain where the water of the Ueno stream flowed down, and said, "Well, the barren mountain that the second uncle talked about has been negotiated, five hundred yuan a year." ”
"Five hundred?"
Wen Tong has seen that piece of land, starting from the big maple tree halfway up the mountainside, half of the mountain is a terraced field that was reclaimed in the past and is now abandoned.
So big, so cheap?
Meng Denian said, "That was assigned to Liu Jiangong's father by the production team before, his father was gone, and no one in the team wanted the mountain, so he simply assigned it to Liu Jiangong, he went out to work, and his mother could only take care of the one-third of the acre of land in the field, plant some peanuts or something, the mountain can't be managed, it's useless." ”
Wen Tong said, "That can't be five hundred a year." ”
At this time, the second uncle happened to come out of his house and asked Meng Denian, "What are you talking about?" ”
Wen Tong was a little afraid of Meng Shi, the second uncle with a thin figure and sharp eyes, opened his mouth and didn't make a sound for a while.
Meng Denian said, "Liu Jiangong's broken ground. ”
The second uncle, Meng Yuping, held a scoop in his hand, drank a saliva, took two steps to this side, spit out the water after rinsing his mouth, wiped his beard with his hand, and said, "That's a good land to the sun, if it weren't for my lack of energy, clean up, plant some fruit trees, watermelons, ......"
Meng Denian said, "Come on, plant watermelons on it, and pick them down can exhaust people to death." ”
Why is the mountain land barren, because there is only one stone staircase, and it is difficult to get down when you plant things.
Meng Denian said, "That broken ground, five hundred a year is too much for me." ”
Meng Yu's face was flat, "People live with less than your five hundred yuan a year!" "Hip
Meng Denian was silent.
Meng Yuping looked at Wen Tong, his face softened, and said, "Liu Jiangong heard that it was the land that he wanted, and he didn't need money to live or die, and said that what kind of video Meng Shi took for his family Liu Xia was bought by the professor of Qinghua, not only gave the money, but also took Liu Xia to the capital to watch the raising of the national flag and went to Qinghua University to visit the ......."
Only then did Wen Tong know that Liu Jiangong they were talking about was Li, the father of the little boy.
As for Professor Qinghua, Wen Tong knew that it should be Professor Yang Yi who was squatting next to the trash can and connecting live.
Meng Yuping took out a cigarette, lit one, and said, "Well, when he did such a big thing, he Liu Jiangong sent away a piece of mountainous land, that's not good, one yard is one yard, I forced five hundred and one year, and wrapped up the land, and the people of their Liu District owe me a favor all the time." ”
There are three big surnames in the village, Meng, Liu, and Yu, and the place where each surname lives is called a district, with the same surname and common prosperity, and the atmosphere is the same as that of a gang.
Wen Tong suddenly felt that this second uncle, who looked a little fierce, was a little cute, whether his idea was right or not, at least, he was good for Meng Shi in his heart.
Wen Tong looked at the barren terraced fields and thought, if only one day he could go up a road.
In the evening, I had a meal.
Wen Tong carried a bucket to the well to fetch water and boil the bath water, and the carp that had been put down in the morning swam around in it, quite comfortable.
By the time she filled the cauldron with water, Grandma had already raised the fire.
Wen Tong put the lid on the pot, set up a fixed position, and sat next to Grandma.
She rarely moves the camera, but she wants to take pictures of this kind of after-dinner chat with her grandmother.
The old man is always reminiscing about the past, which is a place that has been stolen by time and can never be reached by others.
Grandma used tongs to pull the ashes out of the stove hole, allowing air to enter and make the fire later.
Wen Tong sat quietly beside her, reached out from his pocket, and took out a potato and a taro, which Grandma took with a smile and put it into the stove with tongs.
———
Meng Shi returned to the studio from the outdoor scene, and at this time, the audience was already standing in the audience area.
Meng Shi entered the second scene from the passage, sat next to Lu Chengkang, and took a bean bag from the lock box in his hand.
Lu Chengkang said, "If you want to force Lao Qin to death, you will officially record it immediately, and you won't even say the name of the song." ”
Meng Shi chewed the bean bag and took out his mobile phone to take a look.
It's a video sent by Wen Tong.
Meng Shi glanced at Lu Chengkang.
Lu Chengkang stared at his phone shamelessly.
Meng Shi simply clicked on it directly.
Wen Tong and Grandma sat side by side in front of the red stove fire beating in the stove, a very warm picture.
Meng Shi and Lu Chengkang introduced, "My grandmother and I spent 200,000 yuan to 'marry' Wen Tong, the 'daughter-in-law' who went home. ”
The 200,000 yuan for Wen Tong's family was borrowed from Lu Chengkang.
Lu Chengkang should not be serious about "daughter-in-law".
He watched Meng Shi's grandmother take the potatoes from Wen Tong's hand, put them in the stove, and said, "You make the theme song for me, and you don't have to pay back the 200,000 yuan." ”
Grabbing. Meng Shi said, "There is a pure music song in the music library, which is quite suitable for sending your broken character away and taking it for three hundred." ”
Lu Chengkang just wanted to open the knight's copyright network, and in the video, Grandma said, "I married Grandpa at the age of fourteen, he is one year younger than me, two children who have not suffered from the landlord's family, where do you know what marriage, husband and wife, life, everything is like a fog, hazy, and unreal." ”
Lu Chengkang stopped what he was doing and began to listen.
"The days are like the wind, slowly blowing away the fog, and in the three meals and four seasons, people are blown old."
"When we got married, it was summer, and I don't remember any day, but I remember that it was raining and not hot...... Like, just like the day he left, he said that man is like a tree in this life, which grows luxuriantly in the spring, experiences wind and rain in the summer, withers with frost in the fall, and hides in the earth in the winter......"
There was a crackling sound of firewood bursting in the stove, and Grandma stopped talking.
Meng Shi said, "Grandpa has a very indifferent view of life and death, and the only thing that can't be relieved is grandma, and grandma still hasn't been able to muster up the courage to take a look at Grandpa's grave until today." ”
Lu Chengkang sighed and said, "Jun buried the mud under the spring, and I sent the world full of snow." ”
Grandma said, "The day he left, he said to me, since the day I married you, I have never been lonely, but he is gone, how can I be lonely in the future......"
巘戅宝来戅. Lu Chengkang watched Wen Tong gently hold the old man's hand, and suddenly understood Meng Shi's intention of getting Wen Tong to Yaoshan - these are two lonely souls who need to be accompanied.
Meng Shi didn't speak, like a fish, nibbling on bean bags one by one.
The fifth came over with a guitar and said, "Come on." ”
Meng Shi looked up, and the stage had been arranged.
