Xiangfending Village, the oldest village in the Central Plains.

The ancients had poems and clouds:

"The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry bamboos.

Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other.

Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders.

Yellow hair hangs down and is happy. ”

This is Tao Yuanming's description of the ancient village outside the world.

As early as 1954, it became famous at home and abroad for the discovery of rich paleolithic culture and Dingcun human fossils in the vicinity.

Ding village dwelling was built in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty continued to build, lasted nearly 400 years, there are 33 existing houses, 498 houses, accounting for most of the area of the village, basically the original layout of Ding Village in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The layout of the courtyards is different, the shapes and carvings are different, the magnificent ancient dwellings, and the ancient stoneware of the priceless city.

It recounts the glory of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and also records the footprints of the Paleolithic civilization.

After the plane arrived in Linfen, Li Xia, Ye Qingxue and the staff of the program team took more than 20 minutes by car to Ding Village.

The first thing that catches your eye is the red archway at the entrance of the village, which is capitalized in gold in the middle: "Chinese Historical Village - Ding Village"

Left: "100,000 Years of Human Civilization"

Right: "500 years of Ming and Qing Dynasty dwellings"

The staff of the program team took out a task card and handed it to Li Xia.

"Ancient and longevity, recently celebrated."

"Ancient and longevity, celebrating in the near future? What does that mean? Li Xia looked at the task and asked puzzled.

The staff of the program team replied to him very skinnyly: "Literally, if you find this place, someone will give you the next task card." ”

After saying that, he stepped aside.

Li Xia was dumbfounded, and wanted to tell this buddy that it is easy for you to have no friends if you talk like this.

Ye Qingxue blinked, thought for a while and said, "Could it be that we are looking for an old man who is very old and long-lived, and this old man just has a birthday in the past few days." ”

Li Xia thought about it and felt that it was very possible: "Let's go, let's go in and inquire." ”

Stepping through the archway at the entrance of the village, the asphalt pavement has become a bluestone pavement, and on one side of the bluestone road, there is a field with flowers and plants, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits are thriving.

On the other side, there is a small stream that leads from the river, which winds all the way.

The water is clear and lapping on the pebbles, making it seem extraordinarily transparent, and several fish swim happily in it.

A gazebo with a stone table and flower pots and plants on it, full of life.

Beauty!

Beautiful!

Beauty!

Too many beautiful things!

The surrounding bluestone walls are covered with vines, which are like the finishing touch, lighting up the entire courtyard.

The people here are simple, and the villagers have a smile on their faces every day, which makes people feel very kind.

Li Xia waved his hand to stop a villager and asked with a smile: "Hello big brother, may I ask if there is a seventy-year-old man in your village who has a birthday in the past few days." ”

The villager replied with a smile: "There are more than a dozen seventy-year-old people, and I don't know if I have a birthday these days." ”

Li Xia then asked, "Then where do they live, can you tell us?" ”

The villagers thought for a moment and began to report a series of house numbers: "Courtyard 6, Courtyard 9, Courtyard 11, Courtyard 13, ......"

Ye Qingxue took out her notes and began to perform the duties of an assistant, recording in her non-stop notes.

When the eldest brother of the villager finished talking about the number of the last house, Li Xia counted it, which is more than a dozen, and it is almost thirty.

This big brother's math is true and average, and at the same time he secretly scolded the program team for being unscrupulous, and directly told where to go to it and it would be over, it was so troublesome.

Waving goodbye to the eldest brother of the villager, Li Xia and Lin Qingxue embarked on a journey of searching.

Based on the house numbers they had just recorded, they searched from house to house while inquiring about passers-by.

After searching for nearly half an hour, I came to Courtyard 36.

Li Xia knocked on the door again, and after a while, a silver-haired grandmother saw Li Xia and Ye Qingxue, and asked with doubts in her eyes: "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Li Xia said: "Grandma is like this, I want to ask you about your birthday this year, is it a birthday these days?" ”

The grandmother replied, "I am 73 years old, and my birthday has been two months ago. ”

Ye Qingxue sighed a little disappointed, it seems that she is going to be the next one again.

Li Xia was just about to say goodbye and leave, and the old grandmother suddenly said: "But my wife will celebrate her seventieth birthday tomorrow." ”

"Really? That's great! ”

Ye Qingxue exclaimed in surprise and almost jumped up.

Li Xia turned his head sideways and gave her a roll of his eyes: "You are also from a professional class, a professional host, can you be reserved, what do you look like." ”

"Hmph, people are happy, I'm tired after looking for so long, and besides, I'm not a professional host, I'm an intern."

Ye Qingxue snorted lightly and muttered in a low voice.

After reprimanding Ye Qingxue, Li Xia enthusiastically held the old grandmother's arm: "Grandma, we are recording a show, has anyone given you a card?" ”

The old grandmother shook her head: "No." ”

Li Xia frowned, could it be that he had made a mistake again?

It shouldn't be.

This is a dozen little boys who ran out of the yard and gave a card to Li Xia: "Uncle, are you looking for this?" ”

Li took the card, sure enough, it was a task card, he touched the little boy's brain, and said with a smile: "Yes, thank you, little friend." ”

The little boy's eyes purred a few times, and then he said, "The uncle who gave me the card said that as long as I give you the card, you will give me something to eat." ”

Li Xia glanced at Ye Qingxue with a smile and said, "Contribute the snacks in your bag." ”

Ye Qingxue happily took out a large bag of snacks from her bag and handed it to the little boy.

The little boy took the snack and smiled very happily, and said to Ye Qingxue and Li Xia: "Thank you, sister, thank you, uncle." ”

Then he ran into the house with a snack.

"Why do you call her sister and uncle me? Am I old? ”

Li Xia complained very speechlessly.

Ye Qingxue's heart was secretly cool, asking you to reprimand me, yes!

"Uncle Li Xia, you better hurry up and watch the next task."

Li Xia pursed his lips and looked at the tasks on the task card seriously.

"Grind the flour by yourself and learn how to make a bowl of longevity noodles with Grandma Wei."

He put away the card, looked at the old grandmother in front of him and confirmed, "Grandma, are you surnamed Wei?" Your wife's surname is Chen. ”

Grandma Wei nodded.

Li Xia became more attentive, and at the same time gave Ye Qingxue a look, Ye Qingxue was also very good, and kindly held Grandma Wei's other arm.

He briefly told Grandma Wei about the purpose and task of coming here, and Grandma Wei began to greet the two warmly into the courtyard after understanding.

The yard is spacious, and the entrance to the gate is a cobblestone path, glittering with rain.
