Chapter 2: Home
He stood up and came to the pavilion, as if he were inspecting his territory, smirking as he went.
He stood quietly in the pavilion, and then slowly felt the whole space, there was no wind in the whole space, the temperature was also very constant, that is, more than 20 degrees, the air was relatively humid, very suitable for people to live, the pores of the whole body were opened, breathing the air in the air, it seemed very comfortable!
He was a little reluctant to leave this space, but he still felt that he shouldn't stay in this space forever.
He silently said "get out" in his heart, and then there was a slight whirlwind of the world, and he returned to the real world!
He pushed open the door and walked out, and his mother asked, "Xiaofan, what happened, you didn't agree to call you just now?" ”
After listening to his mother's words, Li Xiaofan said to his mother: "Mom, it's okay, it's just that I was a little dizzy when I first came back, and I just wanted to change my clothes and sleep, so I didn't reply to you." ”
His mother nodded incredulously!
Li Xiaofan's mother is an ordinary farmer, and his father is also an authentic migrant worker, who goes to various places every day to find some odd jobs to do.
Li Xiaofan's home is in SC Province, a place where there is a country of abundance, but his home is indeed in the mountains, although it is said that he can eat and drink at home without worrying about buying rice and vegetables, but he needs money to study, and his family also needs money to repair his house.
The economy of the place where his home is located is not very developed, but relatively speaking, it is not too backward, and it belongs to the kind of place where consumption is relatively high, but the income is relatively low!
In fact, the family's economic conditions are generally not bad, but the earthquake a few years ago caused his family's economy to collapse all at once.
Because of the earthquake, the house in disrepair was destroyed all of a sudden, although there was a government to help rebuild, but the family's savings over the years were all used to repair the new house, but still borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends!
Later, even when he went to college, he borrowed money from the bank, and he has not paid off the loan from the bank until now, and his father, a migrant worker, has no knowledge, so his income is also very low, so every time he comes back from vacation, he goes out to collect scrap, and also uses it to subsidize a little family!
Originally, I wanted to go to work for the summer vacation, but my parents were worried that he would go to work alone, so I just did it. After returning to his hometown, bored, he finally came up with this method, so he rode his bicycle and began to collect the rags everywhere!
In addition to his parents, Li Xiaofan also has a grandfather!
His grandfather used to be an old man who walked the rivers and lakes, but later because he didn't have a medical qualification certificate, he didn't continue to go out and walk around!
So he stayed at home, but when the villagers came to see him, he also showed them and didn't charge money!
It's just that when they catch medicinal herbs, they will charge a little money if they catch them here, and if they want to catch them elsewhere, let them take the prescription and catch it themselves!
Although this can also subsidize a little family, because it is a free medical treatment, there is basically no profit at all!
But now it's okay, Li Xiaofan has also graduated this year, although he has not found a formal job yet, but he can also relieve some of the financial pressure on his family, although there are still many debts that have not been paid off, but this also gives the family a hopeful life!
Li Xiaofan's mother walked towards the kitchen, and Li Xiaofan said in the back: "Mom, I'll help you light the fire!" ”
Mother smiled and said: "No, no, you go to rest and rest, it's raining today, go to your grandfather's place in a while, let him get you some medicine, and your mother will boil it for you at night, you can rest and rest!" ”
"That's good for you, Mom!" After hearing his mother's words, he replied, and then did not linger too long, but walked outside, for the room next to his house was where his grandfather had treated others, and there were many things piled up, but the most were medicinal herbs!
This time, he also wanted to find out if there were any seeds of Chinese medicine here, and he wanted to try it. In his space, although he said that he looked at the dilapidated land, he also wanted to see if he could plant in the space!
He walked into the room where his grandfather was treating, his grandfather was now treating a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man saw Li Xiaofan come in, and hurriedly greeted: ! "Xiao Fan is back!"
"Uncle Zhang, what's wrong with you? Why did you come to my grandfather's place today to see a doctor? Li Xiaofan said to the middle-aged man who greeted him!
"Alas, don't mention it, yesterday, I turned on the fan and blew it all night when I went to bed at night, and then I got up this morning and was dizzy, so I didn't want to go to Uncle Wang to let Uncle Wang take a look!"
Li Xiaofan nodded when he heard this, the people in the village, no matter what they had, and the first thing they thought of was his grandfather, they had to let his grandfather take a look at it first, and then if his grandfather really had no choice, he would go to the hospital.
Because in the hospital, no matter whether you have a cold or fever or something, you will be asked to take a CT first, so that a few hundred yuan will go out, and a not very wealthy family can not bear it at all, so many people are reluctant to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but believe in those small clinics!
"Come, Xiaofan, come and help me grab some medicine for your Uncle Zhang!" His grandfather also gave the middle-aged man a pulse at this time, and then said!
Li Xiaofan walked up when he heard this, then took the list in his grandfather's hand and went to the back cabinets to grab the medicine!
Several cabinets were divided into various small cabinets, and each small cabinet had the name of the medicinal herb written on it. However, the types of medicinal materials here are not as many as those in the Chinese medicine pharmacies in the hospital, and they are all basic and common!
And all these medicinal materials are his grandfather, or his parents picked them all in the mountains, they are wild medicinal materials, not artificially planted, so the villagers are also very relieved, the medicinal materials here!
After grabbing the medicine, he looked at the places where his grandfather had put the herbs, and then found several seeds of Chinese medicine in a small cabinet!
Then he said hello to his grandfather and left!
He walked to the backyard, and not far from the backyard was his father's stone wall, which was his own vegetable garden, and in the middle of the garden was a bluestone paved path, which was divided into four small fields, in which all kinds of vegetables were neatly grown.
It's summer, and peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers are hanging on the branches.
Now there are tomatoes on the tomato tree, and the peppers have begun to turn red now, and the red bunches are still very cute!
I found a tomato, but he didn't wash it, he just wiped it with his hand and put it in his mouth.
Anyway, the vegetables in my yard have not been sprayed with pesticides, and I have nothing to worry about.
After a gentle bite, the sweet and sour taste spread out on his tongue, and a hint of coldness made him even more appetizing.
After a while, he eliminated a fist-sized tomato, but he still didn't feel like it, and he even wanted to continue eating tomatoes......
However, he did not continue to pick tomatoes and eat them, but walked to the cucumber vine and picked a cucumber with small flowers hanging on it, which was quite tender.
I also rubbed it with my hand a little, wiped off the small thorns on the cucumber, and then took a bite.
A cool feeling spreads in my mouth, especially this summer, not to mention how comfortable it is to eat a cucumber to relieve the heat.
He walked slowly around the yard, the green beans and cowpeas were almost off the shelves, but he could still see them on the shelves one by one!
Eggplants are now in their second spring, and after the first batch of eggplants were taken off the shelves, the second batch of flowers also bloomed, and now the purple eggplants are hanging on the eggplant trees one after another, which looks very comfortable.
Looking at the other vegetables, they are also lush, and each vegetable is growing in the best direction, and there are basically no stunted vegetables!
After a week, Li Xiaofan also felt that his mother was too capable, although these dishes were some home-cooked dishes that he usually eats, but there were too many types of planting, which made Li Xiaofan also shocked.
Normally, it would be good enough to be able to grow a few kinds of vegetables, but my mother actually planted more than a dozen kinds of vegetables in the back of her yard, and each vegetable was well cared for, and each vegetable was full of vegetables!
So he also admires his mother, so many kinds of vegetables are well organized!
Walk through the yard and exit through the back door of the yard.
After opening the back door, there is a small hill behind, there are some fruit trees on the small hill, on these small hills, there is very little soil, a lot of stones, because the slope is still a little steep and can not be cultivated normally, so it is assigned to every household, let each family plant a little fruit tree!
However, those who had ideas planted fruit trees, but many more planted some trees.
Among the small hills, some people planted fruit trees, some people directly left it there, and more people responded to the government's call to return farmland to forests and planted trees in all these places!
But the people who planted the fruit trees did not make much profit, because the weather in this place was like this, there were more rains and less sunshine, so the fruits on the fruit trees did not photosynthesize, and the taste was not very good!
And the temperature difference between day and night is not very high, so the fruit trees here are not too sweet, and the most are very sour!
As a result, many of them could not be sold, so in the end, some people simply cut down the fruit trees and burned them as firewood, and the people who still kept the fruit trees did not pay much attention to them!
Now there are only a few families planting fruit trees on it, and more of them are cutting down all these fruits and planting those saplings that have been returned to the forest!
And those who still grow fruit trees, if they have fruit every year, they will pick it and eat it every year, and they will not buy other fruits. If there is no fruit, forget it, and stop asking too much!
When these hills were first divided, there were more than 100 families in the village, and their own families were lucky, that is, they were allocated the land at the back, but there were too many stones on the land at the back!
His mother had wanted to use it many times to grow vegetables after clearing all the stones, but when she looked at it, the amount of work was too huge!
In the end, I didn't think about it anymore, but planted some fruit trees on it, but these fruit trees knew that they were stunted at a glance!
