The Gu family said that they would come to the Bai family to pay New Year's greetings, and finally the two families made an appointment to meet outside.

The meeting place of the two families was in a small farm yard, where Zezhi's father had lived before, and he was very familiar with the old owner of the courtyard, and he would come back every year to see and rest.

The old master is over eighty years old, and he is still sharp and energetic. He was busy coming in and out, beaming with joy to bring out the best things to entertain guests.

Zezhi's father sighed: "The old man is in good health!" I'm afraid I won't be able to do it when I'm your age! ”

"Hey, what are these words! When you retire, you come to live in the village, the mountains and rivers are good, and you are afraid that it will be bad? I went to work in the fields every day, played cards in the village, and lived to be 100 years old in good health! The old man smiled heartily.

"Oh, thank you for your old man's good words!" Zezhi's father clasped his palms together and saluted, "When I retire, I'll come to you when I'm old!" ”

The old man said, "Your whole village welcomes you!" ”

Uncle Gu on the side also praised again and again, "What a good place, what a good place!" In the future, I will borrow a light and move in to be your neighbor. ”

"Okay. Let me tell you, Lao Gu, I have dug bamboo shoots in the mountains behind me and lotus roots in the pond in the east, which are really tender and delicious! Couldn't eat better than here! Zezhi's father said with a satisfied face.

"I'll give you fried winter bamboo shoots at noon today, stewed meat bones and lotus root soup!" The old man laughed.

"There's still a lotus root?" Zezhi's mother asked.

"Yes, yes, it's very deep, it was just dug up yesterday. It looks very coarse, it is very tender when burned, and it is delicious! The old man said.

"Then we've got a mouthful!" Aunt Gu said with a smile.

Zezhi's father and Uncle Gu haven't seen each other for a long time, so they can't help but talk a lot. "In the summer, the lotus in a pond, in the autumn, the osmanthus fragrance in a village, how is it not intoxicating! Now that life is better, the economy of the village has developed. How's that going in your hometown? ”

Uncle Gu said: "In recent years, the economy has also developed rapidly, and the growth rate ranks among the top three in the province. The footwear industry is developing particularly fast. ”

"How is the water situation now?" Zezhi's father asked.

"Water resources are still scarce, which has become a major constraint to sustainable economic development. According to the data, the per capita water resources are 35% of the province, 53% of the national per capita, and less than 15% of the world average. It's not optimistic. ”

"Haven't a lot of new water conservancy projects been built in recent years?" Zezhi's father asked again.

"A lot of water conservancy projects of all kinds have been built, of which there are 50 or 60 reservoirs above the small level, and the initial formation of large, medium and small, storage and extraction at the same time. However, the innate distribution of water resources is extremely uneven, the inter-annual variation is large, and the drought and flood disasters are frequent, and the problem is serious. Now there is another problem, that is, serious water pollution, deterioration of the ecological environment, and serious waste of water resources. Uncle Gu said.

"That's a problem. The pollution situation of shoe companies is also relatively serious, right? It is not enough to develop the economy and ignore the environment. Woe to the descendants. ”

The two ladies were not interested in their conversation, they were in a group and talked about their families, as well as clothes and skincare products. "The daughter of the Li family is about to get married, right?" "I heard that it is scheduled for May Day." ……

The two families are talking about the economy, the two hosts are talking about the family, and the two hostesses are talking about the family, leaving the Gu brothers and Bai Zezhi, and the three of them automatically become a group of young people, staring at each other with big eyes.

Bai Zezhi really couldn't stand these two people, and said, "Why are you all staring at me? ”

Gu Youren corrected her quite elegantly: "This is not 'staring', this is 'looking'." ”

Gu Youli is as innocent and straightforward as ever: "Look at you good-looking." ”

Bai Zezhi was speechless. Gu Youli said to his brother again: "Don't you have a lot of friends to socialize?" Let's go! ”

Gu Youren leaned back, stretched his limbs comfortably, and said slowly, "I'm not leaving." Why should I go? The scenery here is so good, and the sun is so comfortable. ”

Gu Youli said again: "Don't you have a girlfriend?" You go to Ding Qiang, watch a movie, drink coffee, and be romantic...... What's the point of being with our bunch of people? ”

Gu Youren deliberately glanced at Bai Zezhi and said, "It's interesting, I think it's very interesting." It's so interesting to look at the beautiful scenery and the monkeys scratching their ears and cheeks. ”
