The rain is still falling, and the raindrops are knocking on the car window, like a majestic symphony, playing for Xiaoli and Fang Wei to meet again after more than ten years

Fang Wei and Xiaoli were very excited, chatting happily, reminiscing about the past. They talked a lot about their childhood, and before they knew it, it was close to noon.

The rain came and went quickly, the rain had stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.

The sun peeked out through the cracks in the clouds and shone into the car, shining brightly, and the piercing eyes couldn't be opened. Xiaoli looked at her watch, it was almost eleven o'clock, and at this time, the two realized that time passed so fast, and the food they bought was still in their hands.

Xiaoli started the car and drove towards Fang Wei's rented place, and when she was close to Fang Wei's residence, Xiaoli said; "You go back and put down the dishes, and come to my house for dinner at noon. I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you must go to my house today. ”

"It's really a coincidence, I made an appointment with a few colleagues today to come to my place for dinner, and the food I bought was to entertain them. I won't go today, let's go another day, there will be opportunities in the future, and I will definitely visit. Fang Wei explained.

Xiaoli was a little disappointed and said helplessly; "Alright then, let's do that another day. Remember, you should make time to come to our house. ”

"I can't forget, your family is definitely going to go, and I want to meet my uncle and aunt, I haven't seen them for more than ten years, and I miss them a lot." Fang Wei said in an affirmative tone.

The car was about to arrive at Fang Wei's rented place, and he saw from a distance that several colleagues had already come, standing in front of his door, looking in the direction of the road.

Fang Wei said to Xiaoli; "Look, the few people standing there are my colleagues."

"They are so positive, more active than you, the master, and they came early." Xiaoli said jokingly.

"It's already noon, and you think they're early?" Fang Wei said with a smile.

Xiaoli said with a smile; "I don't think they should have come today, it affected our mood, it was just a joke, don't take it seriously, I'm just talking about it."

The car stopped at the door, Fang Wei and Xiaoli said a few words, closed the door after getting out of the car, waved to her, and Xiaoli drove away.

After Xiaoli left, several colleagues came over and shouted to ask Fang Wei; "The one who drove you is very beautiful, who is she? What is the relationship with you? Tell us about it. ”

"Do you still eat at noon? Ask this and that, are you annoying? Fang Wei carried the dishes and said as he walked.

Fang Wei opened the door with the key and entered the house, and several colleagues followed behind his buttocks, still asking questions. It wasn't until Fang Wei started washing and cooking that several colleagues stopped.

Two female colleagues helped Fang Wei cook and stir-fry, and it didn't take much effort to make it, there were about a dozen dishes, including fish and meat, plus beer and liquor brought by colleagues, quite a 'hearty' meal, which filled the table.

Everyone is a young person, it is rare to get together together, and there is nothing to pay attention to, everyone gathered around the table, and before Fang Wei finished toasting, several male colleagues couldn't wait, and they had already started to pick up chopsticks and eat, and everyone was free of ceremonial clinking glasses, so they drank in a big glass, ate food, talked and laughed, and it was lively all afternoon until evening.

This time, Fang Wei and his colleagues gathered. This was the longest and happiest meal he had eaten since he arrived in Lingnan.

Fang Wei and his colleagues' lively party dragged on for a long time, and it was completely dark, and it didn't end until someone was drinking on the table.

Fang Wei sent his colleagues away, washed the pots and pans, swept the cigarette butts and confetti on the ground into the dustpan, opened the window, and let out the turbid smell in the house. He checked in the house, there was nothing to clean up, so Fang Wei dragged his tired body and sat down to rest.

Although Fang Wei was very happy after a busy day, he was just a little tired, Fang Wei felt that the gathering of colleagues not only deepened understanding, but also enhanced friendship, which was much more expensive than spending a few more small dollars.

Fang Wei lay on the bed, remembering that in the past few months, although he was busy, his life was quite fulfilling.

Fang Wei and Xiaoli met by chance, and there was indescribable joy in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he felt that there was a providence in the dark.

Due to the rush of time, Xiaoli did not leave her phone number and address, and Fang Wei felt sorry. Some people must ask what kind of process Fang Wei and Xiao got to know each other, which started more than ten years ago;

An ordinary village under Taihang Mountain, Fang Wei was born there. The village is bordered by mountains to the east, a small river to the south, and endless farmland to the northwest, with canals extending in all directions to ensure a good grain harvest.

Fang Wei's hometown mainly produces wheat, corn, and some small grains; Barley, soybeans, mandarin beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes and many more.

The majestic Taihang Mountain, stretching for thousands of miles, in spring and summer, the trees are verdant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the flowing water is murmuring, the clouds and mist are swirling, just like a fairyland.

Autumn is the harvest season, with a variety of wild fruits on the mountain; Yama grapes, mountain leeks, mountain pears, etc., exude an attractive aroma. Chinese medicinal materials are all over the mountain; Wubeizi, Coptis chinensis, wolfberry, bupleurum, and some forgot their names.

There is a kind of fruit that automatically splits around the middle of August of the lunar calendar every year, revealing the purple-red flesh inside, which is particularly sweet and delicious; In appearance, it looks a bit like a banana, much thicker than a banana, and is commonly known as 'August fried' by locals. At this time of the year, children follow adults into the mountains to pick, and they are very happy, and every time there is a full harvest.

In winter, heavy snow covers the mountains and villages, and the villagers are idle and have nothing to do. The mountains became the hunting grounds of the hunters; Hares, boars, and roe deer leave long trails in the snow.

On snowy days, there is very little food on the mountain, and the animals sometimes run to the mountain village to find food, and Fang Wei has repeatedly encountered wild boars coming down from the mountain and scurrying around the village. Hunters can easily find their prey by following the footprints in the snow.

In the evening, women and children stood at the entrance of the village, waiting for the return of the hunters. People don't eat meat a few times a year, but the wild game given by the mountains can be a feast.

At that time, the awareness of protecting wild animals was relatively indifferent, no one cared about hunting in the mountains, and people who liked to hunt had guns at home, which was a kind of earthen gun, which was loaded with gunpowder and then loaded with iron sand, and grabbed the mouth against the prey, and there was no need to aim at all, and you could hit it with your hand, and a dozen large pieces.

There are also a few people who hunt with rifles, which are farther than earth guns, and are more effective at hitting large prey at a distance, such as boars, roe deer, wolves or foxes. Rifles could not be owned privately, and at that time, the village militia company was equipped with guns, which were kept by special personnel and could be lent out for hunting.

On snowy days, it has become a carnival for hunters, and the hunters can judge by experience that the prey may be located and the path to be passed, and ambush it in advance, release the hunting dogs or use people, and drive the prey over.

The hunter's marksmanship is very good, almost every shot. When it comes to prey, the hunters believe that it is given by the mountain god and should be shared with the neighbors, who can get a piece of meat.

Fang Dawei was about eight years old, one Sunday, he and a few friends were playing at the edge of the village, close to the hillside, there was a rumbling sound, a few friends ran over along the sound, and saw a bulldozer bulldozing on the collapsed earthen wall, next to a soldier in his forties, walking back and forth, constantly gesticulating, directing the bulldozer driver to operate.

At that time, Fang Wei was young and didn't know what the purpose of pushing the wall was, but later he heard from the adults that he was leveling the land, and he had to demolish many houses and some caves in the east of the village, until he reached a large area of farmland at the bottom of the East Mountain, including the Sunjiabaozi that was being bulldozed.

Xiaoli shouted loudly to her father and ran to the soldier wearing a five-pointed star hat, the tall soldier bent down to pick up Xiaoli, kissed her on the face, and said a few words in his ear, he took something out of his jacket pocket and stuffed it into Xiaoli's hand.

Xiaoli jumped over and said; "Let's go, buy something delicious!" When a few friends heard that they wanted to buy something to eat, they lost their interest in bulldozing, and ran to the village with Xiaoli.

Speaking of which, I have to say that the village where Fang Wei lives is called Fang Village, and it is also the seat of the township government. There are hundreds of households and more than 1,000 people in the whole village, all of whom are basically surnamed Fang, and Fangcun is the largest village within the jurisdiction of the Fangcun Township Government.

Fang Village consists of four forts, namely; East Fort, West Fort, South Fort, North Fort, Fang Wei's family lives in North Fort. There are not many surnames other than Fang's surname, and they are all outsiders.

In the collapsed earthen city wall, the people who lived there were all surnamed Sun, because they were foreign surnames, they could only stay away from the village and build houses near the mountain corners, becoming a fort of their own.

I don't know how many years later, the legend says that a child was eaten by a wolf on his way home from school. Later, slowly people moved in, and the Sunjia Fort was abandoned, and the only thing that remained, that is, the foundations of the houses in the fort and the collapsed earthen city walls.

Xiaoli's parents are the advance personnel of the third-line construction, there is no dormitory, there is no place to live, and a group of people who came with Xiaoli's parents basically rented in Fang Wei's village.

With the arrival of family members, it became a problem for children to go to school. After negotiation between the factory and the local government, the problem of the children's school was quickly resolved.

The construction of the third line is a national project, and the local government is very supportive, sending dozens of children of advance personnel to Fangcun School, and they are divided into various classes according to their age. This group of children wore better clothes than the local students, and their schoolbags were almost all military satchels.

Rural children's schoolbags are made of homespun cloth of various colors, and some children don't even have schoolbags, and their clothes are tattered and dirty.

Most of the children of the advance team look down on rural children, never play together, walk with high ambitions, and have a sense of superiority. There are a few exceptions, and Xiaoli is among them.

They eat much better than the children in the village, and they always bring zero snacks to school, and some snacks are eaten by the children in the countryside, not to mention that they have never seen them.

The house where Xiaoli's family lives temporarily is not far from Fang Wei's house, Fang Wei is a little older than Xiaoli, probably a year or two older. Children from the city go to school early, and Xiaoli and Fang Wei study in the same class.

In the area where Fang Wei lives, there are very few girls of the same age as Xiaoli, and they play with Fang Wei's sister after school. Usually the two girls are always inseparable, often go to Fang Wei's house, after a long time, Xiaoli is called Fang Viagra with Fang Wei's sister, and Xiaoli is more affectionate in Mandarin.

About half a year later, Xiaoli's local dialect was the same as that of the people in the village, no different. Fang Wei treats Xiaoli like a sister and cares very much.

Fang Wei is the leader of a group of boys, Xiaoli is covered by Fang Wei, and no one in the village dares to bully her. In return, of course, it was a delicious snack in Xiaoli's schoolbag.

At that time, food was quite scarce, especially in rural areas, which were relatively poor, had no money, and lived a very hard life, and children in rural areas could not eat anything delicious at all.

Every Sunday after school or summer vacation, Fang Wei is always followed by a group of children, running around, climbing high and low, including his sister and Xiaoli.

Zhang Wei led a group of friends to play in the field, catch grasshoppers, and when he saw that no one was taking care of them, he stole melons and watermelons in the field. Sometimes they climb over the wall and enter the hospital, stealing fruits from other people's trees.

There is a river in the south of the village that flows all year round, and Fang Wei often takes his friends to fish. Fang Wei remembers the most clearly; The boys were overjoyed to catch a big fish, and ran down the ravine path to the village.

A few girls followed behind, the path was full of gravel, Xiaoli accidentally slipped and fell into a ditch more than ten zhang deep, suddenly, several girls were scared and cried, and Fang Wei's sister cried and shouted to save people's .......
