Sixty years with spring

Chapter 334

Night Talk in the Mountains (2)

The rapport continued.

Sun Xiujuan looked at Che Hongxuan and said with concern: "Uncle has indeed lost weight. ”

Che Hongxuan felt this unusual love, and said with a warm smile in his heart: "It's okay, it's hard to buy old and thin!" It's a sign of good health! ”

Sun Xiujuan said seriously: "At least if you don't eat well, you should pay attention to increasing nutrition." ”

Che Hongxuan nodded to accept this opinion. He knew that he had indeed lost a lot of weight, and his weight had dropped from one hundred and eighty-four pounds to one hundred and sixty pounds. The radiant and radiant heroic posture has long become a good memory of the past. At that time, he was heroic, with the sign of tens of millions of bosses, and anyone who saw it would be envious. Now he is yellow-skinned and thin, alone, living in seclusion in the mountains and becoming a mountain dweller. If it weren't for the long-term loneliness, he might not have taken care of Wang Shun and his family. Lonely mountains and forests, it is rare for someone to come, and when they come, they will bring vitality and dispel the daunting and boundless loneliness.

Although Che Hongxuan was dismissive of his diabetes on the surface, he still attached great importance to it in his heart. Two days ago, he went to the county seat again and found an old Chinese medicine doctor. The old Chinese medicine doctor told him that this disease cannot be cured yet, but can only be controlled, and if it can be controlled to the current extent, it will have little impact on the body. Therefore, it is recommended that he sweat once a day, the best way is to run, and it would be better if he had the conditions to take a shower once a day. It is impossible to take a bath, but exercise is still conditional. He went up the mountain twice a day, in the morning and evening, the wind and snow were correct, and he walked covered in sweat, and of course his weight would drop.

Although Lao Zhou's wife gets up very early every day, she can raise so many chickens, ducks and geese, even mix food and chop vegetables, and boil dog food when she is finished. Lao Zhou followed the busy front and back, and couldn't cook at all, affected by the past "Three Platforms and Five Constants", as long as his wife was at home all his life, he would starve to death and not go around the pot, so Che Hongxuan's poor diet was no way, which was also another important factor in his weight loss.

In a life without a career, without friends, and especially without a woman by your side, loneliness is terrible. Che Hongxuan's way to deal with loneliness is to increase exercise and writing, and never rest until he is sleepy to a certain extent every day. He set a schedule for himself: two hours of exercise in the morning and evening, and six to eight hours of writing. Even so, sometimes when lying in bed or walking, I can't help but think of many things and many people, especially Xie Ruifen and her daughter. In those peaceful days, Xie Ruifen still gave him a lot of unforgettable sweetness and happiness, he missed her and was unwilling to leave her. When I'm lonely, I miss her the most. He also thought about Jiaojiao and Jiang Yan, but he didn't know what they were doing and what they were doing.

Sometimes he came back from a run and was hungry, and if he hadn't cooked yet, he would make some gruel himself. As the days passed, his weight inevitably dropped rapidly.

He asked Lao Zhou to buy a lot of New Year's goods, in addition to eating and drinking, he also specially asked Lao Zhou to buy a few red lanterns, and bought "two kicks" and "earth red".

The conversation continued.

Wang He happily told Che Hongxuan: "Uncle, Xiujuan bought you two bottles of Jian Nanchun, my father and my mother brought a lot of delicious food, and we will drink with you here." ”

Che Hongxuan said happily: "Okay, dinner is here, everyone is happy to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve!" But after dinner, you will go back, don't eat here for Chinese New Year's Eve, with Sun Xiujuan here, you go home for a reunion dinner. ”

Wang He considered that it was inconvenient for Sun Xiujuan to stay here until midnight, and it was difficult to explain to his parents when he went back, so he agreed with Che Hongxuan's opinion.

Seeing that the room was so beautiful, Brother Wang sighed and said, "Hey, how much does it cost you to clean up this place like a palace?" By the way, legend has it that the distillery buried a box of gold in the Tiger Cave, and many people have searched for it, but they have not found it, and we have pondered it. ”

Che Hongxuan waved his hand and smiled: "Don't think about this kind of thing, it's all a dream to get rich overnight!" ”

Brother Wang still said with a broken face: "I heard that there are more than 30 acres of land around this winery, let me take a look." In the past two days, your sister-in-law and I have moved over, why are you idle in the place? You'll be able to eat better as well as we'll move in. That old Zhou can't feed the dogs, how can she serve you well? I heard that the area of Quanshan is not small, the soil is fertile, let's do some small wasteland, get a hundred or ten acres of land, which year will not be tens of thousands of children? ”

Wang He stopped and said: "If the slope exceeds 15 degrees, you can't open up the wasteland, and you still don't remember the lesson of last time?" ”

Wang Shun smiled and said nonchalantly: "I heard that there are no fewer accidents here, three Japanese devils are killed by medicine, one is hanged to take the 'Wuqi' (road), (bees) are stung to death by one who runs the mountain, every summer is haunted, and the ghost is not gone, is this all true or false?" The more you talk about it, the more gods become, most people don't want to go up this mountain, but you dare to live here, are you not convinced. Alas, Lao Zhou, seriously, were you afraid when the manager was away? ”

Lao Zhou glanced at him and said: "I'm a poor grass farmer, biting my head hard, gnawing my buttocks smelly, what kind of dead ghosts, starving ghosts, hanging ghosts, I have to walk around when I see them, it's not that I'm afraid of them, but they are afraid of me!" There are a few, and the devil is afraid of the wicked!"

The sister-in-law immediately said angrily: "Yes, you can do it, you are not afraid of life or death, dig a pit and bury it when you die!" Can Hongxuan be like you? What kind of heart do you have? You should find someone who understands, and if you are unlucky, simply move out! ”

The eldest brother scolded and said, "Good boy, who can go to the temple?" The mountain that no one wants to give you favors, isn't the purpose of waiting for you to get rich in the future to repay? Who the can't understand and coax a three-year-old? ”

Che Hongxuan waved his hand and scolded: "You change these old problems, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Lao Zhou sneered and said: "It's good that you don't come here, the manager is happy every day and there is nothing to do, you all say when you come." Manager Jiren has his own natural appearance, I'm afraid you can't compare with me. I'm not afraid anyway, I can sleep even in the pile of dead. I'll go and see if it's haunted again this year, and if it doesn't work, I'll bring two taels of wine up to meet them, and see what other grievances they have. It's not good that those three little Japanese can't find a home anymore, if that's the case, I'll call their embassy and ask them to come and pick up the ghosts, that's the big deal! ”

Wang Shun also knew that Lao Zhou was a well-known local boldness, so he smiled and said: "Only you dare to do this kind of thing!" But I dare if you catch up, I have resisted guns after all! ”

Everyone talked and laughed. Sun Xiujuan and her sister-in-law answered the meal correctly with Lao Zhou's wife. When it gets dark, the meal is ready.

Che Hongxuan asked Wang He to light up the lanterns, the fiery red lights reflected the heavy snow, and the roar of the wind came from the valley. In this dark night in the deep mountains and old forests, these lanterns emit red light alone, as if to tell the lonely mountains and ravines that there are people here, and it is going to be a New Year.

Che Hongxuan had already pasted the Spring Festival couplets he wrote on the lintel window frame, and even the dog pen was pasted. Lao Zhou also asked him to write Spring Festival couplets for the chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard, which undoubtedly added to the atmosphere of the New Year.

Several people began to set off firecrackers, and the "two kicks" flew into the sky, bursting into a cloud of sparks in the flying snow, and the crisp sound of the explosion was heard far away in the deep mountains, and there would be echoes one after another.

Che Hongxuan knew in his heart that although this sound was loud and spread far away, there would not be many people who could hear it. This voice also prompted him to recall a lot of past events, remembering the New Year when he was a child, and thinking that his parents might quarrel over which dish in Chinese New Year's Eve.

The two dogs were frightened by the sound of firecrackers, and "Wangwang" barked strangely, stared and pricked up their ears, and ran and jumped again and again - they did not understand what was wrong with their owners and what they were making a fuss about.

A table of dishes was set.

Seeing the palm-sized flying crab and Panjin river crab, Che Hongxuan knew that Wang He was attentive, and asked with a sigh: "You didn't spend less money?" ”

Wang He smiled and said: "Uncle Ying, I haven't had a chance to give you a New Year's greeting for so many years, and you happen to be here this year, so Xiujuan and I have the opportunity to accompany you for the New Year." ”

Che Hongxuan nodded and said happily: "You don't need to accompany me, I'll be happy when I come." The rest of the time you have to do what you have to do. By the way, when will the construction site come in? ”

Wang He said cautiously: "I am going to enter after the fifteenth, but one hundred thousand is definitely not enough." I earned more than 200,000 yuan from you last year, and my father spent almost all of his money on this accident. Uncle, see if you can help me? ”

Che Hongxuan said: "I am also in difficulty now, but you start work as planned, look for Lao Shi when you use the money, I will ask him to lend you 100,000 yuan first, and remember to pay him back first when the construction site gives money." ”

Wang He understood the meaning here, and immediately said happily: "You can rest assured of this uncle." Also, after the Spring Festival, you can call Uncle Shi and Uncle Chang again and arrange for them to arrive at the scene on time. ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "They will never make a mistake." ”

Wang He looked at Che Hongxuan and said earnestly: "There is one more thing, my parents must move to you, so that they can settle down, and you can take care of it, and I have nothing to worry about outside." ”

Che Hongxuan thought about it for a while and said, "Wait a little bit, I'll talk about it when the spring flowers bloom." ”

"I thank you, uncle!" Wang He raised his glass to Che Hongxuan and drank, and said happily, "Uncle, don't worry, I will support you when I make money, and Xiujuan and I will serve you when I am old, so you will treat us as your own children!" ”

Regardless of whether this was sincere or not, Che Hongxuan felt very warm, and happily raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your good intentions!" Lao Shi is a supervisor of the certificate, and the general annual salary cannot be less than 100,000. If you call him tomorrow and tell him, he will set a monthly salary of 5,000, and the company will be responsible for the rest. ”

Wang He nodded happily. Cheers to two.

Che Hongxuan put down his wine glass and said: "The project cannot be delayed, the opportunity is not available every day, and it must be seized." ”

Wang He nodded excitedly.

Wang Shun thought about how he would have had 150,000 or 60,000 yuan in his hand if he hadn't come nonsense, plus Wang He's earned, more than 300,000 yuan, it was enough to do anything, and seeing that it was gone, he couldn't help but burst into tears, picked up the cup and said: "Hongxuan, brother toasts you!" It's all because I'm not human, and I have a temper and ruin so much money! He put down his wine glass, raised his hand and slapped himself, picked up the wine and leaned his neck dry.

Everyone was silent.

Sister-in-law Wang said: "Hongxuan, the child just took care of such a big matter, and you are not around, so you don't explain?" ”

Wang He also said: "Yes, uncle, I always feel bottomless in my heart. ”

Che Hongxuan accompanied Wang Shun to have a glass of wine, put down the glass and said, "You are a contractor, and it is not easy to make some money." As the saying goes, 'you can't eat poor, you can't wear poor, and you can't calculate to be poor', no matter how big or small, you will be the boss when you want to contract the project in the future, and you must remember this sentence: everything must be thought about before you do it. ”

Everyone was quiet and listened to Takayama.

Wang He poured wine for Che Hongxuan, and then poured wine for Lao Zhou and Dad.

Che Hongxuan said seriously: "All the major events on the construction site listen to the old history, Party A's affairs are handed over to Chang Xi, you take the workers well, and Xiujuan manages the money." The time for the team to enter the construction site is pushed back as much as possible, and now the weather is short and cold, and the workers can't do much work, so it's best to push it until after Qingming. If there is anything important that Lao Shi can't solve, he will contact me. ”

Brother Wang looked at Wang He and said, "Do you remember everything?" No, let your uncle say it again. ”

"Remembered." Wang He looked at Che Hongxuan and said.

Che Hongxuan was in a happy mood, left the desk to open the computer, put a disc in it, the music sounded, he came back to raise a glass, and invited the eldest brother and Lao Zhou to drink together.

After drinking, Wang He and Sun Xiujuan took their parents home, and he had to send Sun Xiujuan home.

The next day, Brother Wang was still thinking about the more than 30 acres of land here, so he ran to the mountain early, pulled Lao Zhou, and made sure to see how big it was, and first see how the house was in the back, whether it was possible to raise broiler chickens. There are some poultry in the back now, and it is inevitable that there will be some chicken feces and duck droppings, and Che Hongxuan hates these, so he has never been there except for the first day when he looked at the mountains to look at the houses and places.

Since the eldest brother was so interested, Lao Zhou simply followed to take a look. Because there are poultry in the back, the gate is always locked, for fear that they will run to the front yard to annoy Che Hongxuan, and also afraid that if the dog enters. Don't look at these two dogs shaking their heads with people, they will go crazy when they see chickens, ducks and geese. Although they don't eat their own domestic, the wild wolves always play with them, messing around, waving their big paws back and forth, and the sunspots also join in the fun, so frightened that chickens, ducks and geese fly and scream. Therefore, Lao Zhou and his wife watched very closely.

The north wind is still blowing, and the sky is already clear.

The goose is very elf, and it has already barked when someone is coming. They don't enter the circle, they stay together in the yard in the ice and snow, and when there is movement, they raise their necks and shout into the sky, and many farmers rely on them to fight.

The two big dogs were just about to play with the goose when they were blasted aside by Lao Zhou, the two big dogs were running around in the yard, and the wild wolf seemed to have discovered something, and they dug up in a place where the snow melted, and the big paws raised the snow high, and the sunspot also dug up in a place where the snow melted.

Brother Wang felt strange when he saw the two dogs planing the ground like this, went over to take a look, and then crossed the high fence to the back of the house and turned around, came back and sniffed down in the place where the dog planed, and said to Che Hongxuan mysteriously: "There is a cellar underground, you see that the place where the dog planes is in a straight line, and the place where the snow melts behind the house is intermittently lined and square, there must be something underground!" ”

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Wang, don't pretend to be a ghost!" You're used to staying in the plains and don't know about the mountains, that's the earth! There are many places in the mountains, so don't make a fuss. ”

Brother Wang found a shovel and, according to what he found, cleared the snow from the outline of a rectangular cellar. He looked around and saw that the outline he had cleared out was more than ten meters long, fifty or sixty meters long, and he crawled in all the places where the earth was bubbling and smelled it, and he felt a faint smell of sake lees. didn't care about heaven and earth, he simply took out the pickaxe and slashed it, so frightened that Lao Zhou ran over and grabbed the pickaxe and shouted at him: "What do you want to do?" Sick? The manager has enough ideas to memorize, what kind of pits are dug everywhere? Are you two hundred and five? This can't break the ground in the first month! ”

Brother Wang told Lao Zhou mysteriously: "I see that there is a cellar underground, you lie down and smell it." ”

Lao Zhou was stunned, lay down and sniffed carefully, and stood up for a while before he stood up and said: "A smell of rotten apples------ oh, I understand, it may be that the rotten lees of the former winery are buried in the ground." What's in it? What a fuss you make! ”

Brother Wang looked up at the sky, the snow had stopped, the wind was no longer blowing, and the mountains and mountains were white. He had no intention of watching the snow scene, still concentrating on his discovery, the more he thought about it, the more amazing it became, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and ran to the front and knocked on Che Hongxuan's window.

Che Hongxuan also felt strange when he heard this, followed him to the backyard, and smelled the smell of wine while lying on the ground, pondering that there might be something underground, and asked Lao Zhou: "What's going on?" ”

Lao Zhou still said the same sentence: "It may be the orchid lees of the former winery, there will be nothing else, I have been here all my life, and I have never heard of anything else." ”

Che Hongxuan said: "No, let's take a look." ”

Lao Zhou said: "You can't break the ground now, you must pass the fifth day, and it is said that the first month of the first month." Even if we are not afraid of ourselves, if someone in the village has three longs and two shorts, it will be easy to say that it is not good to talk about us. ”

Che Hongxuan had no choice but to reluctantly say: "Then we can only follow the local customs, and wait until the spring flowers bloom before starting construction." ”

Brother Wang said indignantly: "No wonder it is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people!" Are we doing our work to get in the way of other people's? Fuck, what does life or death have to do with us? ”

Lao Zhou didn't give in, and said angrily: "Lao Wang, don't do this, kill the stubborn mouth, drown the water, you have to act according to the customs here if you live here, you will not be able to stay sooner or later if you are always unreasonable!" ”

Che Hongxuan said: "What Lao Zhou said makes sense, we follow the customs. ”

Lao Zhou said: "Actually, you don't need to dig, just find someone to ask." In fact, there is no need to ask, if there is anything valuable, it will not be left today. ”

Che Hongxuan asked: "You said to ask someone, can you find someone who understands the situation?" ”

Lao Zhou said: "There is a master here who ran to the mountains after killing the Japanese devils, more than 30 miles away from here. The master is gone, but his child is here, no, I will take the time to inquire in the past two days. ”

Che Hongxuan was very interested, and asked happily: "There is such a thing, can we find someone when we go there?" ”

Lao Zhou smiled and said: "People have settled down there, and if we talk about the policy in the early days of liberation, we will at least be rich peasants now." ”

Che Hongxuan said excitedly: "Okay! We'll go to the descendants of the master tomorrow. ”

Lao Zhou said: "This is the New Year, it's not good to go to the door and get in, so let's wait." ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "Isn't it over with some gifts?" ”

Lao Zhou said: "That's not going to be done!" ”

Che Hongxuan said: "The right to throw stones and ask for directions!" That's it, let's go tomorrow, and I also want to see the scenery in the depths of the mountains! Lao Wang, tomorrow you drive a tricycle over, and we will go to the west to learn the scriptures together! ”

Brother Wang stretched out his thumb and said, "Hongxuan, let me tell you, I admire your sand strength!" You have to do great things like this, you can't be afraid of wolves and tigers! ”

After the three of them finished chatting, they studied here for a long time.
