"Why are you carrying so many things? Don't you feel tired? I'm afraid we won't be able to celebrate the New Year, right? Are these things public or private? ”

"Wow, this is a bit like my tone, how did you learn so fast? You don't need to worry, it's completely my personal opinion, and I have nothing to do with the public. Don't be sentimental, I'm not just looking at you. Huang Lijuan's father said.

Lotus looked at the uncle in front of her, and when they first met, they were completely two people, and when they first met, they were so ruthless and ruthless, leaving no room for anyone. And the uncle in front of him is so amiable and tolerant. It's a standard father. I didn't expect that a person who is both an identity and an elder would come all the way from the county seat to this big mountain village to see himself, am I really that good? I don't know where my excellence is? I just did what the average person could do, right? There's nothing special about what I do, people do. It's just a little unwilling. Uncle Huang, what a touch! Even if he had been in the county for so long, he never thought of going to see his old man's house. It can be seen how tall he is, and how small he is. Lotus really felt ashamed and blamed herself for everything, and felt that her original idea was really a little wrong. It can be seen from this small thing that in fact, Uncle Huang's heart is also very careful, but he is busy with work every day, and the needs of his own work, he must be strict with himself, and distinguish between public and private, if each of us is like this, why worry about social disharmony.

"You've done a great job, keep trying, but be confident. Development is the last word, and we must not be hypocritical and proud, but must take one step at a time. Bravely row the boat of wisdom of your young people to meet the new baptism! Every time we do something, it will not be smooth sailing, and we will encounter difficulties of one kind or another, depending on our attitude towards difficulties. Facing difficulties and enduring difficulties is the spirit of our great nation. Huang Lijuan's father said, "Okay, we should go back too." ”

He said as he walked out of the house. Wang Zhongyu's whole family kept Huang Lijuan's father and son to eat before leaving, but Huang Lijuan's father Wanyan refused, saying:

"Do you all know better than I do what time it is today? What's more, just now Lotus was still criticizing me for leaving your aunt at home alone. What's the matter, it's only been a long time since it's starting to get hung up. ”

The lotus slapped her face and said, "Lotus! Lotus! You stinky mouth really doesn't owe a beating. ”

Huang Lijuan's father laughed: "This is completely irrelevant, is it a brain problem?" ”

Lotus really didn't expect that Uncle Huang was half joking and half true, and he hit the nail on the head, which made Lotus blush. He really didn't expect Uncle Huang to inject some truth into the joke, every sentence is very clever, you say it's a joke, it's a joke, you say it makes sense. And it seems that the lotus flower thinks of him in this sentence, as if he also sees through the lotus's thoughts, and it also seems to tell the lotus that everything must be seen from the substance, and not be affected by appearance.

The whole family had to send their father and son to the car, the car left everyone's sight before coming back to do their own thing, a hard-working and simple family is organized and disciplined, they will not be because of personal gains and losses, more or less, light or heavy and calculating, are scrambling, helping each other, working hard to complete everything, are doing their own thing.

Under the pressure of long-term life, a very good cohesion is formed. The lotus looked at the blue sky, and the weather was particularly sunny today. fell into a long period of contemplation, from childhood to adulthood, from his own family to Wang Zhongyu's family, from the mountain village to the burden on his shoulders now. Shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Dashan Village, he also had a good childhood, and many beautiful fantasies, but these beautiful ideas are now like soap bubbles, disappearing without a trace. Lotus, like other children, has also grown up in the arms of her mother, and has also been cared for by her parents. It is because he wants to change Wang Zhong's family that he is today. Wang Zhongyu's three siblings are also quite competitive, and the family is gradually prospering, but he has not been forgiven by his biological father until now. Although he went to help the two elders every time he was busy with farming, his father still refused to forgive him.

This is an eternal knot in my heart, when will I be forgiven by my father? I have been in the hospital for so long, and I don't know what happened to my parents, although my mother secretly came to take care of Wang Zhongyu's home, I can't let my father know about it. The root cause of solving the problem still lies in oneself, and now it should be changed! Because the people of the whole mountain village are changing, changing with the pace of the times, becoming more civilized, more tolerant and generous, and more understanding and benevolent.

I should also go to see Shuang Lao, and when the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is over, I will call Wang Zhongyu to go together, saying that it is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is actually quite early. Lotus waited for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she packed the meat and oil brought by Huang Lijuan, and went to her maiden house with Wang Zhongyu, anyway, a production team, not far away, Lotus They entered the house, saw that their mother was busy outside, their father was not there, and when their mother saw them enter the house, she hurriedly put down her hand and said:

"Sit here, how long has it been since you were loyal to your return, has your father's illness been cured? Flowers, what about your illness? What do you think? Is there a big deal? I don't have time to take a look, don't blame me. Your father's health hasn't been doing well lately. ”

"Auntie, it's okay, then why don't you ask your uncle to see a doctor?" Wang Zhongyu said.

"I said it, and he just wouldn't listen. Loyal, do you have half a year to graduate? Lotus's mother asked.

"Yes, but I won't go next year, I will go back to school to get my graduation certificate after two months of internship in the county, and I will work in the county when I come back. Where's that uncle? Wang Zhongyu asked.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm lying in bed!" Mother Lotus said.

"How?" Wang Zhongyu said.

Lotus's mother was talking to Wang Zhongyu while moving the stool, and as soon as Lotus entered the house and saw that her mother was busy, she put down her luggage and went to help, when the voice of Lotus's father came from the back room and said:

"It's flowers! Are you better? “

"Yes, Dad, it's a lot, you should go to the hospital too!" Lotus replied.

"Old sick number, what's there to see, as long as you're okay, besides, I'm so old, there's no need to make such a fuss." Lotus's father said.

"Dad, you just now. Shouldn't you forgive me for what you call me? Lotus said.

"Silly girl, I have forgiven you a long time ago, how can there be a father who does not forgive his children, besides, everyone is learning from you, and the whole county knows it, so you are not afraid that your father will embarrass you. When you come back, a few small cars will send you off, which is already the first choice in our big mountain village. So many people have come to see you, and I have not forgiven you, I have not become a sinner. What's more, it is easy to resolve the enemy and not to be settled, and it is between father and son. Child, mother, what are you cooking, get two pigeons from the cage upstairs to make up for the flowers. Lotus father said.

"You are willing to do it, usually you don't take it as your life! Today, why is it so generous, or my lotus is blessed. Lotus's mother said.

"Why is there so much nonsense, you just do it, don't you let my daughter make up for her body when she comes." Lotus father said.

"Dad, aren't those your sweethearts? Don't waste it. Lotus said.

"It's all, I'll just say it." Lotus's father said.

"Okay, okay." Lotus's mother said.

Today's weather is exceptionally sunny and the air is particularly fresh, and the father and daughter finally get back together in a conversation and laughter! Lotus's heart is also much more relaxed, her spirit is also very good, her illness is much better, and she is very energetic to help her mother. After a while, the meal was cooked, and the lotus looked at the steaming meal, and her appetite suddenly came, as if all the meals were more fragrant and sweeter than before. I look so hungry! The mother and daughter put the meal on the table, and after the lotus parents sat down, they beckoned the lotus king to come over for dinner together. Originally, they didn't want to eat the lotus, but the lotus thought that she had just reconciled with her father, which was very rare, and according to her father's character, the sun came out of the west, and they didn't know that it was covered by the dark clouds. Let's accompany the two old people to eat a little more! So Lotus asked Wang Zhongyu to sit down together. My father took out a small bottle of Moutai that had been treasured for a long time and said:

"This is Moutai that I have treasured for more than ten years, I am really reluctant to take it out and drink it, today I finally have the opportunity, let me taste it too, and I also heard that my family Zhong'er is about to work. Let's talk! Just have a drink with me. ”

Lotus looked at her father's joy, and it was not easy to sweep her father's interest, and when she saw it, there was not much wine anyway, and it was rare for her father to have such a Yaxing. Besides, my father is also old, my father's back is also a little hunched, and his physical condition has not been very good recently. Let's satisfy the old man's heart! So the lotus took the wine bottle and filled the four cups, and then everyone raised the wine glasses, and the lotus said:

"I wish my parents a long life than Nanshan, blessings like the East China Sea, and a happy new year!" Then he looked up and walked away.

Everyone was very happy, the meal ended unconsciously, and the time was already dark, at this time the lotus persuaded her father: "The Spring Festival is over, you should go and check it as soon as possible." Let's go back, Uncle Wang's eyes must not have been removed from the gauze, and we have to go to the mountains in the second year of junior high school. ”

"Then be careful, I heard that there are a lot of poisonous snakes in the mountains, they hibernate indiscriminately, the insects are poisonous, and some places are haunted, anyway, I haven't been there." Lotus's father said.

Then said goodbye to his parents, went back, and went back to prepare food and water for the second year of junior high school, he must have only walked on this mountain when he was a child, and now he has forgotten it, and there is no impression of the previous traces, and no one else has gone in, not to mention Huang Lijuan. This thought that time flies so quickly, and it is evening. Lotus looked up at the dark night sky, as if she wanted to find some clues, what Uncle Zhang wanted to explain, so she thought about it and slept until the next morning.

Just dawn on the morning of the second day of junior high school, a few birds did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the tree in the dawn of the sky and kept calling, the lotus woke up from a beautiful dream, before the lotus was washed, Huang Lijuan arrived, and today is very special, a fully armed look, a set of military uniforms without a badge is very eye-catching, with a big military backpack on the back, and leggings on the feet, as if to do a long expedition and long march, which is also the habit of military mountaineering and training, The long-term life in the military camp made Huang Lijuan not forget this habit after retiring from the army. It seems that she came prepared, and she was unwilling to be on the Great Wall. Lotus make breakfast, everyone quickly finished breakfast, bring a bag, lotus specially prepared a very smooth not thick and not thin, not long or short, and very dexterous stick for each of you, tired can be used as a crutch, can be used as a weapon when encountering a long snake or other animal attack. Lotus knows that there are a lot of snakes in this mountain, so she specially prepared it. Anli: This time is the time for the snake to hibernate, but the snake in the mountain doesn't know what's going on? They don't hibernate like each other, which adds to the mysteries of the mountains. Cover this mountain with an extra veil? Lotus came over and patted Huang Lijuan on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, this is a mountain road, right?"

"Don't underestimate me too much, I am also from a mountain village, not to mention training in the army, I am the first in the whole regiment, and I am also the first in mountain climbing! Long-distance night raids are also the first! Wait a minute, see if I can do it. It's steel or iron, and if you try it, you'll know (know)," Huang said.

"Okay. Then let's go on the road, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up too late, we don't know how far it is. Lotus said.

The family left Wang Zhonggang and Wang Zhongmei, brother and sister, to take care of the elderly at home, and everyone walked to the mountain beam that sent Zhang Yunzhong to the sky before yesterday in a conversation and laughter. Lotus, Wang Zhongyu, Huang Lijuan and the three of them crossed the mountain beam and walked into the dense forest, and the three of them walked forward with wooden sticks, the road became smaller and steeper. Twists and turns, ravines for a while, dense forests for a while, streams for a while, cliffs for a while, are getting harder and harder to walk. It is better to say that it is a road than a gap, and there are many thorns on both sides, either hanging clothes or pants, and it is very difficult to walk. There were also some looming pits and bumps, and they kept clinging to the branches, roots, and poles to climb along. After a while, he came to a gap of about one meter in the middle of the hanging wall, both sides were as clean and smooth as a knife, and the lotus said: "This is the gate of heaven, there are nine such gates of heaven, and these doors close the mountain and the outside of the mountain one after another, and the people outside the mountain have walked here at most." I was infected by all kinds of legends about the mountains, and I didn't feel close at all. After the gate of heaven is to have a piece of open land in Pingtan, after the open land is a small stream, the creek is a big mountain beam, to such a big mountain beam is also nine, the small ones are countless, so there are nine ditches and nine forks, nine doors and nine dams, and nine bays and eighteen turns, etc., and one is more difficult to walk, one is more dangerous than one, one is more legendary, every mountain, every ditch, every door, every bay, every tree, every dam, every stone has a story, all are very legendary. It's all full of mystery. The nine bays here are divided into: Wujia Bay, Tree Bay, Upside Down Bay, Datian Bay, Lotus Pond Bay, White Horse Bay, Long Snake Bay, Foot Board Bay, and Soft Foot Bay. The gates are the Gate of Heaven, the Gate of Earth, the Gate of South Heaven, the Gate of the West Gate, the Gate of the North Heaven, the Gate of the East Star, the Gate of Wuyang, the Gate of the Jade Emperor and the Gate of the Queen Mother. ”

"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a big battle of birds here in order to fight for territory, and in the end the crow won and settled here to breed offspring. Until today, there are a lot of crows here, and there is a group of crows screaming together, there is a saying that there are dead people, and three people will die when they die, I don't know if it's true, anyway, I haven't checked it. ”

"According to legend, there is a handsome and dashing scholar who came here one day, in a broken temple here read day and night, one day he went to the well not far away to fetch water and came back to cook, when he met a beautiful village girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, so there was a beautiful love, the scholar studied hard, the village girl spun cotton weaving cloth to accompany, very affectionate, three years passed in a blink of an eye, the scholar wanted to go home to get famous, before leaving, the two were reluctant, the village girl sent a ride and a journey, after a bay and a bay, but in the end it was a scorerAt the time of the breakup, the village girl cut a braid with scissors and said to the scholar: I am here to wait for you for ten years and you come back, I am here, I am still here after twenty years when you come, but I am blind, after thirty years, you come, if you can't find me, you will give you my hair and scatter it into the air. I will appear, and then the scholar is gone, the village girl looks at the back of the scholar and tears continue to flow down, back home waiting for the arrival of the scholar, but ten years have passed, the scholar has not come, twenty years have passed, the scholar still did not come, the village girl's eyes are also blind, so the village girl waited until thirty years and did not see the scholar arrive, one morning, the village girl walked to the well where she and the scholar met and jumped into it, the scholar went home after gaining fame, and his parents also ordered him not far away, to take the right girl as his wife, He didn't dare to say anything about the village girl, let alone oppose this marriage, so he forgot all about the village girl. Then he married the girl outside the staff under the arrangement of his parents, and before he knew it, thirty years had passed in a flash, and one day he suddenly remembered that the village girl had come, so he went to the place where he used to study and found the well, but the village girl was gone, and he had to settle the village girl's words: open the village girl's hair and scatter it into the air. It's okay not to sprinkle anything, this scholar appeared around the woods of trees that can't be seen at a glance, and the well is gone, at this time the scholar's mouth is dry and rough, and he wants to find water to drink, and the tree immediately hangs out a string of purple and red trees, and the scholar doesn't think about it so much, one by one he stuffs it into his mouth, it's so delicious that he doesn't want to leave, so the scholar has an endless can't eat the tree and stays here forever to accompany the village girl. Therefore, this place is named after the (wounded) tree tree, which means how much you have broken my heart, and you can count these trees to know the fruit that the scholar eats, so it is called (wounded kidney) tree. ”
