Sixty years with spring

Chapter 175

Unforgettable Love (2)

It was the snow-covered path, the only path that was crunched by the carts, or the line that winded into the distant mountains, not the expectation, not the pleasure of reaching the goal, but daunting. If it weren't for the "four dislikes" in front of him to re-roll out the wheel ruts, Che Hongxuan would have no way to drive this car with a very low chassis to the mountain, and the frozen hard snow would often drag the chassis.

There are almost no roads in the village, if it weren't for Che Hongxuan's arrangement of a tractor to build a road, not to mention winter, or a car in summer would not be able to drive in. There were a few places where the creek was crossed, and the ice beside the stream was trimmed and the sand was raised. Apparently this was built so that the workers could pull large firewood and tricycles to the mountains.

There is a four-mile road from Chengcun to the mountain, and Che Hongxuan drove for more than half an hour.

As soon as Che Hongxuan's car was headed, the dog barked, and the crisp sound of firecrackers exploded in the mountains.

When the two big dogs saw Che Hongxuan's car and knew that he was coming, they barked and jumped like crazy and ran over. Che Hongxuan got out of the car and caressed the head of the sunspot, and patted the head of the wild wolf, they didn't relax and didn't want to leave.

After entering the hospital, the "four dislikes" stopped, and everyone got out of the car and waited for Che Hongxuan.

Ji Xin was frightened, she had been afraid of dogs since she was a child, and she didn't dare to get out of the car, until Che Hongxuan came over, she got out of the car cautiously, and asked with palpitations: "You won't bite me, right?" ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "You can pat them so that they like you." ”

"I don't dare, I'd better stay away from them."

The two dogs were not polite, and "Hachi Hachi" stepped forward to sniff her and wagged their tails.

Che Hongxuan said: "See, they are shaking their tails, which means that they welcome you, not guard against you." ”

Ji Xin stood there honestly and asked carefully, "Will it?" Are you sure? ”

"Rest assured, they can only protect you, and will never hurt you."

"I hope so."

"You go into the house and rest, and I'll take you into the mountains in a while."

"Okay."

Che Hongxuan sent Ji Xin into the house, and when he came back, he said unhappily to Brother Wang, who came over: "What kind of firecrackers are you setting off, so that everyone can see it and think that something is wrong!" ”

Brother Wang said unconvinced: "Is this still a trivial matter? Walking in hell, afraid of the dead ghosts, firecrackers to drive away demons. Besides, who doesn't know this, who doesn't know you? ”

These words disgusted Che Hongxuan, and solemnly said to Brother Wang: "Don't do what you won't let you do in the future, so as not to make everyone unhappy!" ”

Wang Shun obviously showed disgust, and said angrily: "Okay, you have the final say." I became a little daughter-in-law, and I couldn't do anything. ”

"You will be less like this in the future, what's wrong?!"

"Okay, okay, you have the final say!"

"Isn't it up to me here?"

Wang Shun saw that Che Hongxuan was really angry, and he knew that his feelings were not good, so he immediately pulled the words back and said: "I didn't treat you as an outsider to talk to you like this, only our brothers are strangers here, and we don't distinguish each other." ”

Che Hongxuan had no intention of entanglement with him anymore, and instead asked, "Is there still anyone working in the mountains?" ”

Wang Shun's face turned a little red, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, straightened his chest and said: "There are also two groups of people who pull down the big firewood from the mountain and pull it to the parking lot for 500 yuan per car. ”

"Is it easy to work on such a cold day and so much snow?"

Brother Wang snorted and said: "Xueda is a good time to pull down the big firewood, slippery and energy-saving, and now there is no need for people to pull it, they all use horses, so that they can also be on it with high efficiency." The places where you can get into the car are done, and now they are all working in the deep ravine, and the road will be repaired at the beginning of spring next year. ”

Che Hongxuan nodded and said, "That's right, don't have anything to do with the New Year." ”

"Hi hi, let you speak, there was an accident in the ditch next to me two days ago, and an old bachelor was stoned to death when the car was loaded, but fortunately, the deceased had no family, and the compensation of 100,000 yuan was dealt with. I knew there was danger, so I didn't allow it to pull any further. ”

Che Hongxuan nodded and said, "This is the right thing to do. Here is a person who bought a forest frog, not afraid of spending money, can he still play it? ”

Brother Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "By no means, the ice is more than two feet thick now, and I arranged for workers to throw a lot of branches in the water, and the barbed wire and branches were frozen in the ice together in key parts to avoid being stolen." Besides, now that the forest frog is hibernating, it will not stay there as soon as it is alarmed, and it will all run out, which will be a big loss. A female leopard opening a village is a litter of tadpoles, one or two thousand, and now it doesn't count! ”

Che Hongxuan nodded and said, "I agree with you." ”

Brother Wang lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to send those two 'four dislikes', don't let them make trouble here." ”

Che Hongxuan waved his hand and said, "Leave them and the people who work in the mountains behind, and I will bring a lot of vegetables." ”

Brother Wang said unhappily: "These are eight kinds of loaches on the bowl - extra (fish)!" ”

"You go to the kitchen and help arrange it."

Wang Shun thought about it and changed his words: "You are right to arrange it this way, it is also necessary for everyone to celebrate and suppress evil when you are greedy for such a big event." ”

"What kind of evil is it? Where did the evil come from? ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Brother Wang turned around and left unhappily.

"Prepare more dishes." Che Hongxuan said to Wang Shun, who turned around and left, and then went to look at the people who were not like the "four dislikes", and said to everyone: "Don't be polite, accompany me for a few drinks at night." ”

Everyone happily said "thank you, manager", then laughed together, and then went to wait in the old Zhou house.

The sister-in-law and Lao Zhou's wife stewed fish, stewed toads, killed chickens, scrambled stupid eggs, plus peanuts or something, and a sumptuous dinner was being prepared. Wang Shun arranged to bring the dishes brought by Che Hongxuan, eight people at one table, according to two tables.

Lao Zhou's wife and Wang He came to pick up the food. Che Hongxuan opened the trunk, took out the vegetables he bought, took out the pig lungs he brought to the dog, and handed them to the two of them.

Lao Zhou's wife smiled and said: "Look, you see, this dog understands, knows that the delicious food is coming, and it seems like crazy." ”

The two dogs smelled the smell of meat and followed the two, and when Lao Zhou's wife closed the door, they ran happily in the yard as before, and after the celebration ceremony, they stretched out their big tongues and sat in front of Che Hongxuan. As soon as Che Hongxuan stretched out his hand, the two big dogs pounced again, and their big paws covered his chest with snow. He patted them on the head, caressed the shiny hairs on their heads and necks, and took them to the glass window to knock, and cried, "Come out, let's go up the mountain." ”

Ji Xin was cleaning up and adding wood to the stove pit, when he heard a shout pointing at the dog through the glass window and said, "Lock them up!" ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me, they are your reliable friends!" ”

"Weird and scary."

"Come out."

Che Hongxuan and Ji Xin walked towards the mountains with two dogs, and at this time, the sun was setting, and the sunset dyed the edge of the old clouds in the west, which was bright red. The mountains were white, with occasional faint white mist rising from the ravine. Che Hongxuan told Ji Xin that it was because the stream was exposed. The wind was not strong but it was hard, and it tingled a little on the face. But the hearts of the two of them were hot, and neither of them felt cold.

Ji Xin said happily: "It's really quiet here, there is no sound; The snow here is so white, there is no pollution at all, and it is wonderful to feel like you have come to a vacuum world all of a sudden, and you can be unrestrained. ”

"Summer will be better, it's a wonderland. In fact, in the early years, there were several families living here, and Wangjiagou and Hejiagou were all called out like this. ”

Ji Xin smiled happily and asked, "Aren't they afraid?" ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just that the isolation is incomprehensible."

The two chatted and walked.

Che Hongxuan introduced to Ji Xin how big each mountain is, how far each communication goes, and what direction it goes. Where is the big stone lake ditch, the small stone lake ditch, where is the road to Shuangding Mountain, Tiger Terrace and so on, the painting is mysterious and mysterious, which fascinates Ji Xin.

Che Hongxuan's mouth was not idle along the way, after introducing the mountains and ditches, he had to talk about every time he walked through a toad pond, and he also took Ji Xin from the place where the stream flowed through the river dam to see the clumps of forest frogs hibernating at the bottom of the river, this scene was magical and exciting.

Ji Xin sighed and said, "How much do so many forest frogs cost to sell?" ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said: "There are small gains this year, and the big share depends on next year." ”

Che Hongxuan wanted to take Ji Xin to Shuangding Mountain, but there was no mountain road here, and the snow was knee-deep.

Ji Xin shook his head and said, "You can't go any further." ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "It's still a few miles away from Shuangding Mountain, it seems that you can't climb up." ”

"I'm fine, it's the shoes, I'm still wearing high heels."

Che Hongxuan smiled embarrassedly.

The two chatted as they walked down the mountain.

Ji Xin asked: "There are so many forest frogs, it's no problem to hit some?" ”

"No, these are reserved for breeding, and the forest frogs you want can only be bought."

"It's a dreamlike feeling to see these forest frogs underwater."

"If we bother them now, they won't stay any longer, they'll run away."

"Will it?"

"That's true."

It was already dark, and Che Hongxuan walked back with Ji Xin. Brother Wang came out, and Ji Xin went into the house to continue her work.

Brother Wang said "Hi" and said, "I have to make it clear to you first." I heard that you had an accident, and the old Sun family put forward a new condition, if you don't go to the city to buy a house, you won't eat your family's meal, this matter is very troublesome. My God, people are really snobbish these days. Don't have any more accidents, if you have another accident, this marriage will be yellow! ”

"Buying a house? This is no simple task. ”

"Isn't it, now the houses in the county town have been sold for two thousand seven or eight, plus eating and ordering meals and decorating and buying furniture, I don't think it's easy to make it without 500,000, isn't this simply a human life? I can't count on you all anymore. You help me arrange the children's affairs, and I will take care of the affairs in the mountains for you, and I will never let you worry about it. ”

Che Hongxuan shook his head and said, "This is not so simple, and I have no commitment in this regard." ”

"We're running for you, can't you ignore it? I'm scarred, the old mountain cannon here is really hard to deal with, with eyes on the back of the head and heart eyes on the heels. Now Sun Xiujuan has gone to a relative's house to make clothes, and she can come back for the Spring Festival. Their family didn't mention the matter of eating a family meal again. The days are optimistic, and if you don't eat, you won't eat, what kind of humanity? Will you be able to come up with this money next year? If you can't take it, you will be ruined! ”

"Don't you want to think about it, even if I agree to have a home? Don't you think this extra requirement is excessive? ”

"Isn't that ruined?"

Helpless silence. Che Hongxuan had already made his words clear and didn't want to say anything more. Understood, can you continue to do it, Wang Shun, you speak by yourself.

Wang Shun finally held back a sentence: "You are right, let's take a long-term view of this matter." If you win a big project next year, you will consider us if you have the conditions. Don't look at our old ones and look at the small ones, now that you help him, isn't it better than your own when you are old? ”

Che Hongxuan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these things first, you give me the arrears of wages and attendance, and send out all the wages tomorrow." Show me Dachai's accounts, and use the money to buy Dachai for wages. ”

Wang Shun said reluctantly: "I'll sort it out and give it to you later." ”

"When the mountain workers come down, we will have dinner."

"Okay." Wang Shun replied listlessly and turned away.

After a short time, the mountain workers led four horses down, and they were very happy to hear that the manager had invited them to dinner.

When Che Hongxuan went over to look at the dishes, Wang He smiled and said, "You said uncle, my father commanded so many dishes, can you eat them in a few days?" Say that he doesn't listen either, and he is strong! ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "There are so many people, more than that." How's the subject doing? ”

"Take your time."

"Young people work hard in the world, their mouths must be sweet, their hearts must be careful, and their hands must be diligent, these are more important than anything else."

"I know, uncle."

While he was talking, an old jeep drove in, and Secretary Lang and Village Chief Wei of the village got out of the car.

Che Hongxuan hurried out.

Secretary Lang scolded as if no one was around: "Bastard, if you don't let people go, I'll lead the people away, and turn him upside down!" ”

Village Chief Wei smiled and said, "This is too unreliable, so it can be good?" ”

Secretary Lang is a smart person, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry here, my reign is like this, and it's the same if you change someone else, it doesn't matter if you don't come for a hundred years!" ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your support." ”

Secretary Lang said boldly: "Come, drink, give you a shock!" ”

Che Hongxuan said: "I have to send someone to the county seat at night, and I can't drink." ”

Secretary Lang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the county seat to drink, and finish singing and taking a bath." ”

Che Hongxuan didn't expect this result, so he could only push the boat down the river and say: "In this way, we will drink with everyone in the mountains, and go to the county seat to play after drinking." ”

Secretary Lang said happily: "Okay, it's decided, drive us at night." ”

Che Hongxuan could only reply: "Okay, then we can drink more." You guys go in first, I'll go to the South House and ask if that friend can come over and have a drink together. ”

Seeing that there was no one else around, Secretary Lang lowered his voice and said, "According to the policy, you have two ranger quotas here, and each person has a salary of 600 yuan per month. ”

Che Hongxuan thought about it and said: "Then you can only use Wang Shun and Wang He." ”

Secretary Lang nodded and said, "Yes, it's not easy to use the locals, and it will cause conflicts if you use this and not that, but you can decide after thinking about it." ”

Che Hongxuan thought about it and said: "There is no better choice now, after all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, good people don't come, and it's not good to do it, there is no way." ”

Secretary Lang said: "I also understand you very well, but there are two points to remind you, one is to strengthen management, and the other is to pick up firewood can not exceed the standard." ”

Che Hongxuan tilted his head and asked, "You mean?" ”

Secretary Lang smiled and said, "It's nothing, just remind you." ”

"I understand," Che Hongxuan nodded and said, "Dachai will stop and stop pulling." ”

Secretary Lang nodded.

Village Chief Wei said: "There is a little difficulty in the village before the festival, you pay 20,000 yuan of firewood first, is there any difficulty?" ”

Che Hongxuan said: "No problem, I'll tell Lao Wang to do it tomorrow." ”

Secretary Lang said, "Okay, let's go in Zhang Luo and drink." ”

Che Hongxuan said: "You guys go in first, I'll go to the South House to invite a friend." ”

Che Hongxuan went to invite Ji Xin, and when he saw that she had cleaned up the house and burned it very warmly, he smiled and said, "It seems that you like it here." ”

Ji Xin smiled and said: "It's a paradise here, you can fully enjoy freedom, this feeling is really good." I knew it was so good, so why book a room in the county seat? ”

"After drinking for a while, I will go to the county seat to sing and take a bath."

"Remind you not to be like my brother, who doesn't make enough money to drink and become a hooded man every day!"

"Are you going to have a drink with everyone or are you going to eat here by yourself?"

"Do you need to ask?"

"Okay, I'll call you."

That night, Che Hongxuan accompanied everyone to the county seat and lived in the mountains the next day. After arranging the things on the mountain, Che Hongxuan drove Ji Xin home.
