Xu Yin didn't know that her uncle, who had lived abroad all the year round, was about to return to China, and she had finally become familiar with the Xu family's ancestral house in the past few days.

There is only one family in the east, and that is the Xu Jiang family who moved away.

The courtyard of Xu Jiang's house is larger than that of the old Xu family, but the main house is only three, and two rooms are built on the side to serve as kitchens and huts.

I haven't lived in it for more than ten years, and the old house is dark and dilapidated, and I always feel that a gust of wind will blow down.

The yard of Xu Jiang's house is really big, especially the one in the east, which is several acres.

Xu Yin thought that if she could buy the homestead of the Xu Jiang family, it would be good to build a forest sanatorium, with a beautiful environment and a wide field of vision.

Build a trail in the back mountain, you can go all the way to the top of the mountain, walk in the forest and enjoy the abundant negative oxygen ions. And it's quite in line with the theme of the task released by the system - leisure and health care.

I just don't know if his family is willing to sell it.

With the contradictions between the two families for many years, even if they are willing to sell, I am afraid they are not willing to sell to the old Xu family.

There were more neighbors to the west, and several yards were slipped, but they were all empty and uninhabited, and the weeds in the yards were getting tall.

The most indispensable thing in Taoli Village is the mountainous area, where can tea gardens, vegetable gardens, farmland and vegetable fields cultivated along streams and rivers at the foot of the mountain be planted? Now that they have moved to the foot of the mountain, who wants to go back to their old house to grow vegetables? So it's so wasted.

Xu Yin walked all the way over, and there were many ideas in her heart about how to make use of these lands.

However, all ideas must wait for the cousin to come and negotiate with the village chief whether it will go well, otherwise it is all empty talk.

I couldn't walk in front of the old house of Grandpa Li's house, so I sat down on the big threshold of the Li family's yard with Xiao Tao, the camphor tree in front of the Li family grew tall, and it was cool to sit in the shade.

Looking at the terraced rice fields below, enjoy the scenery of the tea plantations while drinking water and eating snacks to replenish energy.

Xiao Tao called it so beautiful: "My home is also rural, although it is close to the mountain, but the mountain is planted with bamboo, and it is cool in summer, but I can't see such an open view." ”

Xu Yin smiled and said, "Zhushan? It's also pretty good, there are bamboo shoots dug all year round. ”

She remembered that the family living in a certain life opened the door to Zhushan, planing bamboo shoots, raising chickens, planting medicinal herbs, and weaving bamboo products...... The experience of being sealed in the dust, dug out from the depths of memory, is still vivid.

Then I thought of Comrade Xiaojin of her family, I don't know if we can meet in this life, and if I can, I don't know what kind of identity I will have, and I am inexplicably a little expectant.

After enough rest, turn back home.

Further west are the decaying old houses and abandoned yards, which are the areas where the ancestors of Taoli Village lived, just have a general understanding.

After that, it took a little more than half a day to walk around the mountain wall behind the old house of the Xu family.

Nature's magic cut the mountain at the waist, but it was not completely split, leaving half of the mountain, forming a nearly vertical cliff.

When the rain is abundant, there will be a gurgling spring water flowing down the cliff wall, as if the mountain god is sweating.

These springs fall to the bottom and merge into small streams, which flow down the mountains along the ditches beside the houses, nourishing the tea plantations and vegetable gardens all the way, and finally into the large streams and rivers, and flowing further into the rivers, seas and lakes......

The villagers drink the same water from these springs, but they are connected at an opening in a mountain crevice, which is cleaner than the surface.

In the past, you had to carry a bucket to pick up the water, but after Grandpa Xu developed, he paid for the water company to weld the tap water pipe at the opening of the mountain crack, and connected the mountain spring water to every household.

After Grandpa Xu developed, he not only gave back to his neighbors, but also helped the village build a road to the town and the county seat. Each family gets thirty or fifty plants, and when the fruit is ripe, it can be sold for some money.

More than 20 years ago, Grandpa Xu connected the village to the Internet, installed a telephone and a computer for the village committee, and later installed a movie curtain wall in the village committee's activity room, so that the villagers could see the popular movies without leaving home. Don't look at the remote geographical location of Taoli Village, but it is no stranger to high-tech and modern life.

Therefore, the villagers of Taoli Village are very grateful to Grandpa Xu, and most of their care for Xu Yin is also due to gratitude to the old man.

From the back mountain to the top of the mountain, there is a road paved with stone slabs, which was also paid by Grandpa Xu to hire a stonemason.

It's just in disrepair, and since the villagers moved to the foot of the mountain to live, they rarely take this road again, and they all climb up the dirt and stone mountain road at the foot of the west mountain to chop firewood and pick up mushrooms and so on.

Therefore, many sections of the road were blocked by crooked branches and vines, and Xu Yin couldn't continue to pass after walking for a while.

Xiao Tao's body was flexible, and with the help of the branches and vines, he walked around the side, walked up for a while, and returned to report: "There are also many fallen vines and branches on it, and many of the stone roads are broken. ”

Xu Yin asked her to write it down, go back and ask someone to clean up the road, and then find a craftsman to repair it.

"How can I ask someone to clean up the road, I'll ask Brother Fang and them to help, and I can clean it up in the morning." Xiao Tao was eager to try.

She felt that after coming to Taoli Village, she had no use for her.

Miss Xu is too conscious, she eats and rests at the point, and she never takes a walk when she goes out, so when she is tired, she takes her to sit down and rest, drink water and eat some pastries made by Aunt Song to replenish her body.

This made her inevitably have the illusion that she was also here for vacation.

The air and scenery on the mountain are good, and I am awakened by the sound of birdsong in the morning and fall asleep on my pillow at night, and my sleep quality has improved a lot.

The food is also healthy food, such as vegetables grown by the villagers themselves, chickens, ducks and eggs raised at home, mushrooms picked in the mountains, and bamboo shoots dug up...... Miss Xu has a small appetite, and many of the dishes sent by the villagers have entered the stomachs of several of them.

With twice the salary of the original, but enjoying a comfortable life that may not be able to be achieved after retirement, Xiao Tao is very unsteady, and she always feels sorry for the salary that Mr. Xu gave her if she doesn't find something to do.

Not only her, but the four of them also had the same idea.

The two of them worked in pairs, but Miss Xu didn't like them to follow up, so she just said that she could call them when something happened.

They were idle, and they had already taken turns to fry several batches of tea.

When Miss Xu was taking a nap, they were chilling and drinking tea in the patio, which made the brothers in the base camp of the Ministry of Security envious.

Xiao Tao's proposal was unanimously approved by the four of Brother Fang, and in the evening after the sun set in the west, they took turns to clean the trail with a sickle and a broom.

Seeing that they were so active, Xu Yin didn't hire extra people to work.

It just so happened that she was also a little greedy for the famous local ginger duck, so she asked Aunt Song to slaughter the tender duck brought by the village chief that night and add a dish to everyone.
