Chapter 1907

Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo have already arrived in Sheng County, and drove the Panshan Highway for nearly three hours. There are many small villages halfway up the mountain, and the smoke is billowing. You can also see children playing around on the side of the road, as well as old men and women sitting and basking in the sun. , a scene of peace and tranquility.

Although the mountain road was bumpy, Zhang Zhengrong and Zou Hanqiu were in high spirits, always poking their heads out to look at the scenery. There were towering torreya trees standing on the edge of the cliff, with thick stems and crowns like giant umbrellas.

Zou Hanqiu didn't stop all the way. He is a photographer. He couldn't bear it when he saw such a beautiful river and mountain. generally.

Because Zou Hanqiu wanted to take pictures, he walked and stopped, and it took a lot of time on the road. When he arrived in Shengxian County, he was already going to have lunch. Mrs. Zou’s hometown is in a small town surrounded by mountains, and her old house is halfway On the mountainside, relatives of her family live in the house. The house has gained popularity, but it looks a bit old, but it is not damaged, but it has more fireworks.

The house is a common large courtyard here, with a second-floor attic, except for the bricks below, the upper part of the second floor is made of wood, and the floor of the first floor is a solid earth floor, which has been stepped on for many years and has become as hard as concrete. Flat and reflect light.

There are more than a dozen families in the courtyard, surrounded by four sides to form a square, and there is a huge open space in the middle. In summer, more than a dozen families will go to the open space to eat with bowls, chatting while eating, and a meal is very delicious It was eaten soon, and it was very lively.

However, this kind of old-fashioned courtyard is now rare. Small western-style buildings are now being built in rural areas, and many old houses have been demolished and rebuilt. However, the government later retained some of these old houses in order to preserve history.

Mrs. Zou's family is a big family. The dozens of houses in this big courtyard belonged to her family, and there were hundreds of acres of land at that time. If she hadn't gone to Hong Kong early, her family would definitely be unlucky, like Mrs. Zou's family. Uncle suffered a lot because he didn't go out.

There are only a dozen or so rooms left in the dozens of houses, and the rest are distributed to other people. Mrs. Zou’s family only has two rooms. Mrs. Zou’s parents gave up these two rooms to relatives who are in short supply without charging a penny. , just let them take care of the house.

"Oh...it's still the same as when I was a child, it hasn't changed at all, look...the writing on the pillar is still there, decades have passed, and it's still there..."

Madam Zou seemed to have discovered a new continent. She cried and laughed while pointing at the wooden pillars in the corridor. Everyone looked closer and saw a lot of words engraved on it. The handwriting was a little immature, and it should have been written by different people. Madam Zou was referring to a sentence——

"Grandpa is a big villain, he has lost his beard!"

Zou Hanqiu read it softly, overjoyed, Mrs. Zou blushed, and explained with a smile, "My grandfather is very strict, and stipulates that the children in the family must write three copybooks every day, and they must be correct. , I was beaten by my grandfather that day, and I was fined not to have dinner. The whole family ate in the house, and I was fined to stand outside. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I engraved this sentence..."

Ye Qingqing was also happy, she didn't expect the quiet and gentle Madam Zou to be so naughty when she was a child!

Zou Hanqiu took a picture of the precious pillar, patted the shoulder of Mrs. Zou who was full of tears, and said softly: "I will go to grandpa's grave in a while and tell him, old man, you are doing well now, and everyone in your family is happy too." very good."

Madam Zou nodded her head vigorously and wiped away her tears. Since her son wanted to raise her relatives, when she was a child, she only thought that her grandfather was too strict, a rigid old man, and not cute at all. Now she is grateful to her grandfather for his strictness, which gave her a solid background in classical literature. It's a pity that Ziyu's foster relatives are not here, and her biggest regret is that she failed to honor his old man properly!

The courtyards I mentioned are relatively common in rural Shaoxing, but they are rare now. They may still exist in mountain villages, and they are considered antiques.
