At seven o'clock on Sunday morning, Huang Shouzhen, who had stayed at a hotel in Chuzhou City for one night, got into Qiu Shihua's BMW X3 and rushed directly to a village in Song County, the latter's hometown.

Changsong County is located in the north-central part of the city, and is connected to Y County in the south, and Huang Shouzhen's understanding of Changsong County is limited to this.

It is said that in the era when he was not yet born, that is, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, when the family was poor, in order to satisfy the family and the grandparents who still had a little feudal atmosphere, the young people of his father's generation had to walk fifty or sixty kilometers of sheep intestine mountain roads several times a year to buy grain in Changsong County, and then carry it home.

This time, two round-trips, that is, more than 100 kilometers of ups and downs of the mountain road, almost the distance from Y County to Bailu City, its degree of hardship, can be imagined.

But when Huang Shouzhen was born, grew up, and began to know about people, this way of life was no longer there.

Because after he was born, it was already in the nineties, and there were roads from the countryside to the county, ferries, and urban and rural buses.

Therefore, the mountain road that only existed in his imagination and could walk from Y County to Changsong County was no longer the main way for them to survive, but became the exclusive road for those rangers in the Forestry Bureau.

Today is the first time Huang Shouzhen has gone to Changsong County next door since he was born.

The beautiful scenery along the way was similar to what he expected, with the winding mountain road winding and winding, full of deep green and greenery.

This is the geographical feature of the entire city and city at present, and this is the case in the nine counties.

Compared with the gradual rise of tourism ten years later, the whole appearance of Chuzhou City is undoubtedly more backward, primitive, and poor.

Almost two hours later, Qiu Shihua took Huang Shouzhen to his hometown, a small ancient village with only a few dozen houses on the mountainside.

"Xiao Zhen, the village in front of you is my hometown. ”

Qiu Shihua parked the car at the far entrance of the village, and the two had to get out of the car, because the road reached here, and there was basically only a two-foot-wide stone staircase walking mountain road in the village.

Huang Shouzhen looked in the direction of Qiu Shihua's finger and found that the village not far away could only vaguely look at the corners and corners, and he couldn't see it at all.

The reason is that at this moment, the mountains are full of fog, and the white mountain fog is like a sea of rolling clouds, enveloping the entire village.

"Let's go, I can't see it clearly from here, I'll take you in and have a look. ”

After Qiu Shihua returned to his homeland, he couldn't help but show a sincere smile on his face that was difficult to see on weekdays.

Huang Shouzhen fell into his eyes and thought...... This is probably the real joy from the heart of the other party after leaving the city, right?

Or is it a love for your hometown?

In fact, young people in their twenties rarely have this kind of feeling, and they usually have to leave their hometown and struggle in a foreign land for many years before they will have this feeling.

Qiu Shihua is now over forty years old and has a successful career, which seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, he is very lonely in his heart, so he will smile so well after stepping on this land that truly belongs to him.

And it's a big laugh, which is usually destined to be cared about by few people.

Huang Shouzhen found out because he is also a person who loves his homeland very much, but because his ancestors in the family were poor, including his parents, they also suffered a lot before they fought for a house in the county, so he was instilled since he was a child and must go to the big city to make a lot of money in the future.

So much so that until now, his dedication to money is far greater than his love for his homeland.

Of course, with his mind, he has long understood that it is safe to live in his hometown, but in this era, it is actually difficult to mix for a long time.

Because no money is a very realistic thing, if you have no money, your life may be okay, but once you have a partner, a child, and a new family, it is too selfish to blindly seek your own freedom, which is also an extremely irresponsible attitude to life.

Living in the 21st century, children and future generations must need a foundation of education, wisdom, thought, and knowledge, otherwise they will not be able to survive when they grow up.

"See, Xiao Zhen, the building in front is my house, my house is the tallest building in the whole village, and when I look closer, it's still obvious. Ten minutes later, Qiu Shihua, who was carrying a carton of milk in each hand, took Huang Shouzhen to the front of the house, and then shouted to the house with a smile: "Dad, Mom, I'm back." ”

Huang Shouzhen came to the house, looked up at the other party's hometown, and found that it was the same as his hometown, the houses were all rammed earth houses made of loess stacked with solid walls, but the difference was that the houses in Changsong County were larger in structure.

Although they only built two floors, they were used to building the house very wide, with at least four straight volumes.

And this is only the main building, and there are many small rammed earth houses with only one story high built next to it.

If it is placed in the heyday of this village, there is no doubt that Qiu Shihua's family is definitely a very generous local tyrant family, and the house is too big.

But now, with the change of times, the once prosperous is long gone, not only the houses in the entire village are seriously aged, but even cracks have been cracked in the walls of many houses.

For example, Qiu Shihua's house is that if it is not repaired, it will not take a few years for this house to become a dangerous house.

"Hey, no wonder Uncle Qiu wants to invite me to come to see the house, this house is in disrepair, if it is not rectified, maybe after a few heavy rains, the wall will collapse, and it is indeed very dangerous for people to live in it again. ”

Huang Shouzhen sighed silently, and suddenly recalled in his mind that when he was in the moon a year ago, he went back to his father's hometown for his father to worship his ancestors, and he saw that there were many old houses in the village, all of which had become ruins.

Different from modern bungalows and high-rise buildings, rammed earth houses have obvious life characteristics, it needs people to live day after day fireworks to survive, once the house is uninhabited, it will fall down in a few years.

And if it has been inhabited, even if the wind and rain blow and there are huge cracks in the wall caused by the years, it can still hold on tenaciously for a long time.

This is something that Huang Shouzhen still can't understand.

But just when he was still thinking about it, the people in the house also came out after hearing Qiu Shihua's shout, it was an old lady and an old grandfather.

After the old lady saw Qiu Shihua, her dim eyes immediately glowed with a different kind of brilliance, and the joy on her face was overflowing.

"Huazi, why did you come back all of a sudden, and you didn't call your mother in advance. ”

When Qiu Shihua heard his mother say this, he replied with a smile: "Mom, I came back this time to find someone to come over and help see if our house can be repaired. ”
