After chatting politely with Zhao Yuntao, Xu Boan hung up the phone.

Xu Jiancheng and Tang Rongzhi and his wife have already gone to the team headquarters of the village brigade to discuss matters related to demolition compensation.

Because of answering the phone, Xu Boan didn't get out of the car yet.

Looking at the quiet old village in front of him, Xu Bo'an was full of thoughts.

It is often said that once people reach middle age, they are prone to nostalgia, and when they reach old age, they spend most of the day nostalgic.

Xu Boan also found that since he got older, he did have a lot of nostalgia.

Or see things and think about people, or see people think about things.

The village of Xu Bo'an's grandmother's house is called Tangjiaping, and when he was a child, because his parents were busy, for a long time, Xu Bo'an lived in his grandparents' house.

When he was a primary school student, Xu Bo'an's every winter and summer vacation was closely related to this place.

Go up the mountain to catch grasshoppers, climb trees to dig birds' nests, go down to the river to catch small fish, dig pits and bake potatoes......

In Xu Bo'an's childhood memories, half of his happy time was left here.

At that time, the village was very lively, especially when the temple fair was rushed, and the whole family went out together, not necessarily to buy something, but to feel the atmosphere, which was called a lively.

Just as he was reminiscing about the old days, Xu Boan heard a strange noise next to the car window.

Xu Bo'an frowned slightly, turned his head to look, and saw a big head next to the car window stretching out his hand to cover his eyes, and probing into the car with a smile.

After seeing the other party's face clearly, Xu Bo'an's expression softened and greeted: "Brother Baozi! ”

The man smirked and waved his hands vigorously, but he didn't speak.

Xu Boan casually took out a box of cigarettes from the armrest box, and then got out of the car and walked over.

Brother Baozi's name is roughly Tang Xiaobao, and generally speaking, he is the "village keeper" of Tangjiaping Village.

Tang Xiaobao is an orphan, and since Xu Bo'an met him, he has lived in a dilapidated old courtyard.

Although the courtyard is not small, the courtyard wall is almost collapsed, even the doors and windows on the cave are covered with oiled paper to avoid the wind.

As for eating, most of them are home-cooked meals that are delivered to the door by the people of the village in turn.

It's just that I don't know what Tang Xiaobao should do after the village is demolished.

Tang Xiaobao should be five or six years older than Xu Bo'an, although he has intellectual problems, he is a kind person.

Xu Boan remembers that when he was a child in Tangjiaping Village, Tang Xiaobao often played behind a group of their friends.

Although things are done slowly, they are very protective of these friends.

No matter what kind of work you do, you rush to do it.

Xu Boan remembered that when he was a child, when he was playing in the mountains, he had a dispute with the children in the other village because of grabbing a cicada.

"Brother Baozi, take it!" While Xu Boan was talking, he threw a box of cigarettes to Tang Xiaobao.

Tang Xiaobao doesn't smoke, but when Xu Bo'an came back a few years ago, he saw that Tang Xiaobao always had a box of cigarettes in his pocket.

I heard my mother Tang Rongzhi say that it was also given by my friends in the past, and it was given to Tang Xiaobao to go to the store in the village to exchange for food.

The store in the village is not as formal as it is outside, and in the village, not only can you buy whole packs of cigarettes, but even loose cigarettes can be sold in one or two.

Xu Boan happened to bring pastries such as peach crisp at that time, so he gave some to Tang Xiaobao.

When Xu Boan came back this time, he didn't bring anything to eat, so he thought of giving a box of cigarettes and asking Tang Xiaobao to change some food.

Tang Xiaobao stretched out his two hands a little clumsily, and continued in a little panic, but finally failed to catch it, hurriedly squatted down, picked up the cigarette case, and wiped it carefully.

Seeing this, Xu Boan immediately regretted that he should have handed it over with his own hands.

Tang Xiaobao wiped the cigarette clean, handed the cigarette back with a smile, and said, "It's off...... To give! ”

Xu Boan stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Xiaobao's hand and said, "For you, change the cake to eat." ”

The cakes in the village are not delicate and beautiful creamy birthday cakes, but small fist-sized pure cakes without cream, which are also called grass cakes in some places.

Tang Xiaobao still smiled and said, "You eat cigarettes, you eat, I have miles!" ”

As he spoke, he patted the pocket on his clothes.

Xu Boan carefully observed this Tang Xiaobao, and finally sighed.

If it is a physical disease, Xu Boan can still treat it, but Tang Xiaobao's situation is incomprehensible!

……

After spending two days in the countryside, Xu Boan returned to Dongjiang.

The parents still had to stay in the village to continue to deal with the confirmation of matters related to the demolition and the filling of materials, so they did not leave with Xu Boan.

Because he has always rested with everyone on the big kang in the village for the past two days, Xu Boan has no special time to pay attention to the bonsai world.

I just took the time to take a look at the situation around the mountain village, everything was going on in an orderly manner, and there was nothing to worry about.

Early in the morning of Monday, because of the video conference of the whole group, Xu Boan did not go home and went directly to Dongjiang No. 2 Construction.

At the meeting, Sutai read out the news in the industry, read out the latest requirements for safe and civilized construction, and warned all cadres and workers to strictly implement the relevant rules and regulations, and be sure to think in one place and make efforts in one place to ensure that its construction projects should become benchmark projects in the construction field in the province.

……

After the meeting, Xu Boan returned to the office and waited for the leaders in charge of each department to report on the work, then locked the door and called out the bonsai.

In the bonsai, on the halfway platform where the mountain temple is located, Jin Dajian and others are still building the temple in an orderly manner.

Chen Shishi concentrated on painting on the doors and windows.

In the backing village at the foot of the mountain, the villagers, under the leadership of Li Guanshan, have cultivated a large area of considerable fields.

Ridge by ridge of fields, neatly arranged, looks particularly spectacular.

In the courtyard in the middle of the tulou, some women are spinning silk with the cotton gloves Xu Bo'an had given before.

In the mountains and forests on the side, Li Wufu and some people were training those wild wolves in the mountains and forests.

More people are chopping firewood in the forest, and for the villagers, firewood is an indispensable and fastest-consumed daily necessities in life.

On the city wall in the distance, a group of small people guarding the city were also responsible, pacing and inspecting the city wall.

Xu Bo'an nodded with satisfaction, focusing his attention on Li Wufu and those who were training wild wolves in the mountains and forests.

Under Li Wufu's training, those wolves were already able to understand simple commands.

Especially the leader of the wolf pack, the size of a calf, was able to carry Li Wufu on his back quickly through the mountains and forests at this time, like a horse and a cheetah.

Xu Boan was envious when he saw it.

Look at this mount, how majestic and domineering it is, and his Ford Raptor is overshadowed by the comparison of this giant wolf.

Staring at the giant wolf for a while, Xu Bo'an reluctantly focused his eyes on the construction progress of the mountain temple.

Although the scientific and technological civilization of the Dajing Dynasty is relatively backward, Xu Boan also has to sigh at the carpentry skills of others.

Xu Bo'an saw with his own eyes that Jin Dajian assembled the wood tightly together without a nail rope, and the fit was like the original ecological growth, and there had never been cross-sectional processing.

The two young people who followed Jin Dajian on the side also looked at Jin Dajian's movements with emotion, and said enviously: "Brother Dajian, this skill is also fantastic, when will we learn such a skill as yours." ”

"Yes, Brother Jin, if I can have this skill, my mother will definitely not worry about my daughter-in-law."

Jin Dajian looked up at the two of them with a smile, and quipped: "What do you think, I can't marry a daughter-in-law with this little skill these years, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the black gold mine to be a miner." ”

The young man next to him stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother Jin, then according to what you say, I will go directly to become a miner, and I can save several years of detours!" ”

Jin Dajian sighed and said, "What are you talking nonsense, if you are not desperate, don't go to the mine to suffer, when the time comes, beware of having a life to earn money and not a life to spend!" If it weren't for the fact that the two babies in the family couldn't be raised, I wouldn't have ventured to that place anyway. ”

The young man from before also said: "Brother Da Jian, there is no shortage of food and drink in the mountain village now, our brothers will definitely be able to support their families if they learn the craft from you." We're not going to the mines. ”

Another young man who said he was going to the mine also said: "Yes, Brother Jin, I'm just joking, I still want to learn the craft from you, last night my mother also said, follow you to do a good job for Grandpa Shanshen, Grandpa Shanshen will definitely not treat us badly." ”

Jin Dajian touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "That's right!" Being blessed by the mountain god's grandfather is a blessing that we have accumulated for several lifetimes. Go, help scoop another bucket of water, it's too hot, and I don't know when it will rain again. ”

The two young men immediately got up and ran in unison towards the barrel not far away.

Jin Dajian scolded with a smile: "You two don't be reckless, so as not to scare the holy girl." ”

The so-called saint is naturally Chen Shishi.

Since Xu Bo'an admitted this identity last time intentionally or unintentionally following Li Kanshan's misunderstanding, Chen Shishi's transcendent and outstanding saintess identity has been posed.

In the courtyard of the mountain temple, only Chen Shishi is now present.

Because of the difference between men and women, Jin Dajian beckoned people to let the courtyard out directly.

All the made door and window wall panels will be brought here for Chen Shishi to paint as she sees fit.

But in the small pool in the yard, there is the only water source here.

Therefore, every time people come to fetch water, they inevitably meet Chen Shishi.

This has also become a tacit fat difference for several young men.

These people don't say they are Oiran on weekdays, and they haven't even seen a young woman who looks white and slightly dressed.

A woman in the countryside is not like a woman in the city who is raised in the deep boudoir, nor is she proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like Miss Qianjin, and she is not as professional and touching as a woman in the music room.

A woman in the countryside pays attention to a reward for her thick waist and round hips, so that she can work, give birth, and serve the baby.

Therefore, when you see a dignified and beautiful woman, these people are like a phone call all over your body, which is called a comfort.

So after two days, going to the courtyard of the mountain temple to fetch water has become a fat difference in the eyes of these young men.

Soon, in the eyes of another young man who was running slowly, a man who had successfully grabbed a bucket happily rushed to the yard with the bucket.

After taking a few deep breaths outside the temple gate and calming his excited mood for a while, the young man entered the courtyard with a crimson face, and greeted Chen Shishi a little unnaturally: "Holy girl, Brother Jin asked me to fetch a bucket of water." ”

Chen Shishi glanced sideways slightly, smiled, and whispered to the young man: "You take it yourself, don't tell me." ”

Where can this young man stand the expression of the Oiran beauty, he immediately became even more restrained, hehe smirked and thanked Chen Shishi, just wanted to step forward to fetch water, but under his feet, he didn't notice a stone that was raised, and immediately fell on his head, rolled in embarrassment, and then stood up.

Chen Shishi hurriedly got up and walked over, stretched out a silk handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Little brother, quickly wipe the blood on your knees!" ”

The young man saw that his knee had been broken, and when he saw Chen Shishi's silk, he didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.

waved his hand, blushed and said, "Don't get in the way, Holy Maiden, little problem, don't dirty your handkerchief." ”

As he spoke, the young man hurriedly shrank back, gritted his teeth and stood up, limping up the bucket and walking towards the pool.

In today's society, men and women are not close to each other.

Seeing the young man like this, Chen Shishi couldn't say anything more, so she had to turn around and go back to paint.

The young man gritted his teeth and forced himself to fetch a bucket of water, and when he limped out of the door of the mountain temple, he could no longer bear it anymore and hurriedly squatted down.

Looking at his ankle, a large cyan bulge had already bulged at this time, obviously sprained.

In comparison, the abrasion on the knee is not a big deal.

The young man who didn't grab the bucket before was still waiting not far away, and when he saw his companion's abnormality, he hurriedly came over, helped carry the bucket, and helped his companion back to Jin Dajian.

"What's going on?" Jin Dajian asked, and saw the young man's high swollen ankles.

"Yikes! It's a troublesome thing, and it's been a day. It would be nice to put a little ice on it. Jin Dajian said with a worried face.

He also knew that in this hellish weather, the sun was so hot that the earth was about to peel, and even water was very scarce, so how could he find ice.

Xu Bo'an, who paid attention to this, was bright-eyed.

Ice cube?

It's easy to say, I have a refrigerator here, and I don't have as many ice cubes as you want?

Thinking of this, Xu Boan went to the suite to open the refrigerator and took out a silicone ice tray that had been frozen with ice cubes.

The ice cubes frozen out in this way are not only neat in shape, but most importantly, they are very thin and crispy, which is convenient for people to bite into, and it is convenient to melt and cool down as soon as possible with drinks.

Now in Xu Bo'an's eyes, thin ice cubes are more convenient for the little people in bonsai to use.

With a slight twist, six hollow ice cubes the size of thumb knuckles were squeezed out and poured into a disposable paper cup.

Just as he was about to close the refrigerator, Xu Boan saw a can of beer placed aside.

What it must feel like to have a cold beer on a hot summer day, when you're working!

Absolutely cool!

Thinking of this, Xu Boan took out the beer again, and then closed the refrigerator.
