The car went out of the city, ran on the asphalt road for half an hour, and then got on a winding road.

After an hour's drive on the winding mountain road, I arrived at the Pingshan Commune Police Station.

Yao Xiuyun told several people that they couldn't get on the car when they went to Jinjiapingzi, so they could only park the car at the police station.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there were only two policemen on duty at the police station, and Yao Xiuyun also knew each other, and I heard that they were going to Jinjiapingzi, so let them eat there before leaving.

Yao Xiuyun smiled and refused.

Several people got out of the car, and when Xu Dong parked the car and came out, Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang took Xiaodouzi and followed Yao Xiuyun out of Pingshan Street and walked towards the country road.

Occasionally, you can see a brick house on the street, and when you go out of the street, you can walk on the machine plow road and see a low thatched house with rammed earth walls scattered in the fields.

After Xiaodouzi went up the mountain, he walked on the narrow mountain road for a while, and then he supported his knees with both hands, saying that he couldn't walk.

Li Xiangyang gave the backpack to Lin Lan and squatted down: "Take two steps, come and carry you." ”

Xiaodouzi ran forward, spread it on his back, hugged his neck, and rubbed his head on his shoulder affectionately: "Uncle Xiangyang, Uncle Xiangyang!" ”

Li Xiangyang turned his head to look at him with a smile, and said softly, "Hungry?" ”

Xiaodouzi hugged his neck: "I'm not hungry, I just want to call you." ”

"Hmmm! Uncle got it. Li Xiangyang hugged him tightly.

Lin Lan looked at the two of them, and her eyes moistened unconsciously.

The mountain road in Jinjiapingzi is narrower than the stone mountain ridge, and it is full of sheep intestine paths.

When the group arrived at a flat place, several people picked up firewood on the road, baked the cakes they brought, wrapped them in sausages and ate them, and also ate cold shredded radish, cured chicken, and bacon.

Xiaodouzi took a bite: "Mom, the cake is delicious with sausages." ”

Lin Lanqu knocked him with his fingers: "Don't come, you want to come, you only walked a little way, and you can't walk." ”

Xiaodouzi pouted: "I've been gone for a long time." He looked at Li Xiangyang's long legs and went over to sit next to him, "I have short legs and can't walk fast." ”

"This kid of yours is too clever." Xu Dong and Yao Xiuyun laughed when they saw each other.

Li Xiangyang smiled and rubbed his head: "Little clever, hurry up and eat." ”

"Oh!" The little bean took a big bite and chewed hard.

The group went up and down the hill over several hills, and walked for most of the day before they arrived.

Lin Lan found that the environment here was much better than Shishanling, but for some reason there were fewer people than Shishanling.

Yao Xiuyun told Lin Lan that almost all the members of the Jin family in Pingzi were surnamed Jin, and some of the families who repaired the reservoir moved to other places in the early years.

The unoccupied houses are still here, and there are about 20 families in total.

A few people walked through the village, and Lin Lan found that the houses here were all made of clay, and the roofs were covered with straw.

The members I met were wearing patches and patches of clothes and pants for the New Year, and looked at them curiously.

Yao Xiuyun took them to the captain's house.

The captain's surname is Kim, and his family is slightly larger than the others, with seven rooms and a fairly large yard.

On both sides of the yard, there were stones on one side to form a pigsty, and on the other side were two mules on a leash.

Captain Jin came out of the hall and was stunned for a moment when he saw Yang Xiuyun: "Hey, Comrade Yao, why are you here?" ”

Yao Xiuyun was just about to speak, when a gray-haired old woman came out and glared at Captain Jin with disgust:

"Old man, why are you talking like that? Hurry up and invite Comrade Yao and them to come into the house and sit down! ”

"Eh, I didn't react at once," Captain Jin patted his head curtly, "Please, please, come in and sit down for a while." ”

Captain Jin and his wife warmly invited a few people to the hall, the room was very low, even if the charcoal was burned, it looked dim in broad daylight.

The four people around the fire in the house were busy pulling the children aside, and one looked very honest, Jin Dachun, who was busy arranging the two longs.

"Comrade Yao, please take a seat." Captain Jin smiled embarrassedly at a few people, and glanced at Xiaodouzi, who was asleep, "Put the child on the bed to sleep?" ”

Li Xiangyang shook his head: "Thank you, uncle, he has been asleep for a while, it's time to wake up." ”

Lin Lan grabbed a handful of candy from her bag, smiled and rushed to hide behind the adults, and the two black and red children with their faces roasted by the fire beckoned: "Come, Auntie will give you candy to eat." ”

The little boy kicked his big deer-like eyes, looked at the colorful candy paper in Lin Lan's hand, looked up at Jin Dachun again, licked his lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook Jin Dachun's hand and shouted repeatedly: "Dad, Dad." ”

Jin Dachun patted him on the head embarrassedly: "Then, say thank you, Auntie." ”

"Thank you, Auntie." The little boy ran out with the little one, grabbed a handful of candy and hid behind Jin Dachun, looking curiously at the little bean that Li Xiangyang was holding.

Lin Lan put the rest on the small square table next to her, took out the Saqima and rice candy and put them on top, and looked at the two children: "If you want to eat, take it yourself!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Captain Kim thanked him again and again.

At this time, Captain Jin's wife took a woman, carrying a large black clay pot and a stack of clay bowls, and entered the hall: "Comrade Yao, please drink water." ”

"Thank you, auntie!" Lin Lan took the bowl, took a big sip, and said with a smile: "It's delicious!" ”

Jin Dachun didn't dislike them at all when he saw a few people, his smile was much more sincere, and he took a handful of chestnuts and put them in front of the fire: "Comrade Yao, you eat chestnuts, we just burned them." ”

Captain Jin looked at a few people embarrassedly: "We are very remote, and we don't entertain distinguished guests during the New Year, so I'm really sorry." ”

"Captain Jin is polite, we have taken the liberty to come and disturb you."

Yao Xiuyun said politely and pointed at Lin Lan, "This is my friend Lin Lan, she wants to buy big white beans, red beans, soybeans and old pumpkins...... Let's let her tell you! ”

"Harvest the old pumpkin too?" Captain Jin looked at Lin Lan.

"Yes, the old pumpkin is also harvested, as well as grass, pepper, mushrooms, ......" Lin Lan reported the names of the things to be purchased, "As long as your quality is the same as that sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, my purchase price is two layers higher than the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative, and I will go with the market." ”

Captain Jin listened to the price of Lin Lan's report, and thought that the pumpkin has a high yield, and it can be planted all over the mountains, which can really be sold for gold, and everyone can earn more income in a year.

The other prices were also raised by two layers, he silently calculated, and his heart was moved: "We usually pull things to Pingshan Supply and Marketing Cooperative, if we pull things to sell to you, will the joint defense team arrest us?" ”

Lin Lan shook her head with a smile: "The East Market has been opened, allowing everyone to pull things to the market to buy and sell freely, and it will be illegal for them to arrest you." If you don't believe it, ask Comrade Yao. ”

Yao Xiuyun smiled: "I promise that no one will arrest you." If there is, you can go to the Pingshan Police Station to find Gu Jianguo. ”

After hearing this, Captain Jin nodded: "Comrade Gu, we know each other, it is the young man who came with you last time." ”

He paused for a moment and looked at Lin Lan, "Comrade Lin, where can we find you in Dongshi?" ”
