It rained all day.

In this era, there were no televisions, mobile phones and the Internet in rural areas, and when it rained, people had almost nothing to do at home.

Men who like to play cards go to the next-door neighbors, and three or four people get together at a table, even if they don't play money, they can play all day.

Women seem to have a natural interest in playing cards as well as men, and they tend to get together to get shoe soles, knit sweaters, or just gossip and talk all day.

In short, people in this era are relatively pure, and the way to obtain happiness is simple, and it is very easy to be satisfied.

Jiang Xiaobai has no interest in playing cards, and Lin Jiayin hates playing cards even more, so the two of them accompany their daughter in the hall.

Jiang Ting also ran over to play with Jiang Shan.

She recently likes to come to her uncle's house because she finds that the bad uncle in the past is not so fierce, and often gives her snacks.

At this moment, Jiang Shan and Jiang Ting were playing games.

"Push grinding, karma, three liters of buckwheat husk, the face of the push is not white.

Make poop, it's sweet, you one, I'll be one.

Push the rice balls, pick up the aunt, and the aunt doesn't eat sour rice balls;

Push the slag, connect the quack, and the quack does not eat the acid and the slag;

Push tofu, pick up my aunt, my aunt doesn't eat sour tofu.

……”

The two children sang local nursery rhymes, their immature voices like heavenly sounds, and their pure smiles like angels.

They are so simple and happy.

Jiang Xiao looked at it idiotically and smiled.

It was only at this time that he realized that happiness was really simple.

With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of the people's living standards, people have entered an era of rampant materialism, in which there is a surplus of material and a lack of spirit.

There will never be as simple and pure happiness as it is now.

Without comparison, you simply don't know what's best.

Thinking about it, he was a little confused, and his expression was slightly sad.

"What the hell are you?"

Lin Jiayin saw that Jiang Xiaobai's expression was wrong, and couldn't help asking.

Jiang Xiaobai came back to his senses, rubbed his eyes, and said with a smile: "No, I'm happy to see the children happy." ”

"yes, it's a good life."

Lin Jiayin said with emotion.

"Learn from someone else, become a sparrow;

Sparrows fly and become turtles;

The turtle climbs and becomes poop;

poop stinks and turns soybeans;

soybean incense, machine gun;

The machine gun hit far, and the man was shameless;

The machine gun was close, and the man was killed.

……”

The two children changed the nursery rhyme again, still singing so purely, with gesturing to each other, laughing happily.

The whole afternoon was spent with the laughter of the children.

After Jiang Xiaobai made dinner, the family went to bed early.

The rain fell overnight and didn't stop the next day.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't enter the city.

was idle and bored at home, and remembered what he told Lin Jiayin yesterday that he wanted to start a new house, and he began to think about it.

Lin Jiayin's requirements are not high, as long as he builds a house with three openings and two entrances with towed eaves, it will be satisfied.

But Jiang Xiaobai didn't think so.

According to the memories of the previous life, he knew that Qingzhou would develop well in the future, and eventually become the second largest city in Central China Province.

In the future, the city will be expanded, and Qingshan Town will also be included in the urban area.

Of course, Jiangwan has also become an urban area, but on the edge of the city.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiaobai was considering building a new house, he made a long-term plan and prepared to put it in place at one time, so as not to rebuild it at any time.

Since you want to build a house, you have to choose a place.

After lunch, Jiang Xiaobai took an umbrella and said, "I'll go out for a walk." ”

Lin Jiayin looked at the sky, although the rain was light, it had not stopped, and it was still drizzling, and said in surprise: "After the rain, there is mud everywhere, where are you going?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't say to see where it was suitable to build a new house, but smiled: "When Nantang encounters new rain, all grass grows beautiful." After the rain, it is the time when the scenery of the mountains and fields is the most beautiful, the grass and trees are green, the clouds and mist are faint like smoke, I will walk around the bay at will and breathe a few breaths of fresh air. ”

Lin Jiayin was happy and said angrily: "How can it be as beautiful as you say." ”

However, when I turned my head, the distant mountains and trees were shrouded in smoke and rain, like an ink landscape painting, which seemed to be different from usual, and it was really beautiful.

She couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps, maybe it's a different state of mind.

When people feel happy, they see everything beautifully.

Jiang Xiaobai held an umbrella, walked across the stone road, and passed by the door of some people's houses, and the people inside would greet him.

"Xiaobai, didn't you enter the city today?"

"Xiaobai, it's still raining, where are you going?"

"Brother Xiaobai, come and sit in the house."

"Xiaobai ......"

“……”

Since the night Boss Chen came for the second time, the people in Jiangwan have treated Jiang Xiaobai differently, and most people don't treat him as a second-rate son anymore.

Jiang Xiaobai also responded enthusiastically to the greeting of the villagers.

Being able to integrate into Jiangwan and mingle with the villagers is also what he expects from the bottom of his heart.

However, Jiang Xiaobai politely refused when they invited him into the house to sit, saying that he would come back next time.

After crossing the stone road, there is no way to the river.

Jiang Xiaobai walked to the river with a shallow foot, stepping on the mud and sand, and then looked around casually along the riverbank.

Soon, he was drawn to a place.

It is the entrance of the Qingjiang River into the river bay, a mountain by the river is steep, there are dozens of zhang high, there is a huge hole at the bottom of the cliff, and there is a tall small leaf Nan tree on the soil bag in front of the hole.

According to the old man in the bay, this Nan tree is three or four hundred years old.

From a distance, the Nanshu tree seems to grow from the middle of the river, and the huge canopy connects the cliff, making the cliff, the Nanshu tree, and the river surface one together.

"What a place!"

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but praise.

Ignoring the mud, he pushed aside the thatch and walked over and climbed onto the dirt bag.

Here, he has been here before, and even many children in Jiangwan often come to play, just to see the big Nan tree.

But, almost no one cares.

This time, Jiang Xiaobai carefully observed and found that this soil bag was not small, at least six or seven acres of land.

However, it is a sloping place, covered with reeds and weeds, and the landscape is not realistic.

He stood facing the river, and the river breeze was blowing.

Looking at it, I saw that the river surface was wide, the thin waves were surging, the grass and trees on the cliffs on the opposite bank were lush, and the green smoke was rising, which was actually beautiful.

After admiring it for a while, Jiang Xiaobai turned around and looked at the Nanshu again.

He couldn't help but laugh.

This is Phoebe microphylla, and it is a three- or four-hundred-year-old Phoebe microphylla.

Perhaps, many people don't know about Zhennan Xiaoye.

But when it comes to another name, many people are familiar with it, called Golden Silk Nanmu.

Needless to say, it's precious.

Looking at this big Nan tree, which is more than 20 meters tall and can only be surrounded by three or four people, Jiang Xiaobai also sighed.

In his last life, he returned to Jiangwan after becoming a rich man, and at that time he felt that Lin Jiayin and Jiang Shan jumped off the river, so he went to the riverside for a walk, but found that the big nan tree in his childhood memory was no longer there.

As soon as I inquired, I learned that he was cut by Carpenter Tan.

"Carpenter Tan, in this life, I can't let you cut down the baby again, I want to build the house here so that it will grow in my yard forever."

Jiang Xiaobai said to himself with a smile.

Jiang Xiaobai also had thoughts about the cave at the bottom of the cliff, but he didn't look at it.

As a child, he went in with a few friends.

He remembered that it was not small inside, and there was a rock inclined pit not far from the cave, which connected to the underground river and joined the Qingjiang River.

All in all, he was quite satisfied with the place.

It depends on whether the uncle who is the village chief can come over to build a house in this place.
