My portable world of mixed farmers

Chapter 83 Lotus Reservoir
"Mom, is grandpa still celebrating the Spring Festival with uncle this year?" Dong Shanhe asked while driving the car.

The next morning, Dong Shanhe drove to his hometown. The elder brother still had things to do, so he had to let himself do it for him. Anyway, Dong Shanhe also wanted to visit his grandfather's house.

Dong Shanhe still remembers playing at his grandfather's house when he was a child. At that time, there was a big pond in front of the grandfather's house, and there were mulberry trees behind the house. Dong Shanhe still remembered that when he returned home, he took several silkworm babies home to raise. .

Now the pond in front of my grandfather's house has been buried, the mulberry trees have been cut down, and even my grandmother has passed away, leaving only my grandfather alone in his hometown.

Grandpa's house is also in Qizhen, which is in the same town as my own. In the 80s, the husband and wife would not be too far apart when they got married.

It's about ten miles away from Dong Shanhe's hometown to Grandpa's house, and it's about the same distance from the town to Grandpa's house.

"Your grandfather's health is not very good this year, and your aunt wants to take him to her place." Dong Shanhe's mother is Yuan Yulan, who used to be a primary school teacher, but has retired now.

Dong Shanhe's aunt was a college student in the first class in [-]. She studied medicine and is now the director of obstetrics and gynecology at a people's hospital in Luzhou.

"Then let grandpa go, it's good to have a physical examination every year!" Compared with my grandfather, my grandfather is far behind. My grandfather never likes to do medical examinations. He is afraid of spending money, but grandpa is different. .

"Today your grandfather will go with your aunt's car, so we have to visit your grandfather today." The rule here in Qicheng is that every year and festivals, juniors need to bring gifts to visit their elders, Dong Shanhe I am no exception, and neither are my parents.

When Dong Shanhe came to Grandpa's house, it was just nine o'clock. The village where Grandpa's lived was called Yuanqiao. It was a huge village. According to Dong Shanhe's knowledge, it should be the largest village in Qizhen.

A village is all together and not separated. It is about two kilometers long from east to west and nearly one kilometer long from north to south. There are about 5000 people in the whole village.

The village-to-village road was built directly to the door of the grandfather's house. When Dong Shanhe came, he saw the grandfather sitting on a chair and basking in the sun outside the door.

"Grandpa!" Dong Shanhe greeted from a distance, but unfortunately Grandpa couldn't hear clearly.

Grandpa is 84 years old this year, and his eyesight is still very good, but his ears are a little behind. My aunt kept saying that he should be equipped with a hearing aid, but my grandfather would not say anything.

Mom and grandpa chatted for a few words and approached the room, leaving Dong Shanhe and grandpa outside the door, Dong Shanhe squatted on the ground talking to grandpa from time to time.

Dong Shanhe still remembers his grandfather telling him various historical stories when he was a child, and he still remembers that scene.

Mom started to clean up the house for grandpa in the house, preparing to prepare meals, and the aunts and uncles would come again later.

It didn't take long before the uncle and aunt came. The uncle and aunt were both in Luzhou, and the aunt was also there. Only the uncle worked in Huizhou.

When the uncle saw Dong Shanhe's car, he was surprised and asked whose car it was.

Among the five brothers and sisters of my mother, she is the worst. When the uncle heard that his grandfather said it was Dong Shanhe, he also admired Dong Shanhe who was squatting next to his grandfather.

"Xiaohe, you've made progress recently!" The uncle is 55 years old, but he looks very well maintained, and there is a breath of superiority spontaneously.

In fact, Dong Shanhe knew that his uncle was an ordinary civil servant, but he had developed a habit over the years.

Don't look at my mother's brother and sister who are all admitted to university, but everyone's circumstances are different. Except my mother is in my hometown, everyone else is not in my hometown, so I have less contact with them, and they are not as friendly as uncles and aunts.

"Uncle was joking, but it's just a good luck." Dong Shanhe said very politely, and Dong Shanhe stood up and walked into the house to move two stools, and gave one to uncle.

The aunt and aunt walked into the room and started to tidy up the house for grandpa like mother. Although grandpa will go to Luzhou today, he will come back after the Lantern Festival.

Grandpa is not used to living in Luzhou, but he still thinks that his hometown is good. There are old buddies and friends who can practice calligraphy, play chess and fight dogs. Compared with Luzhou, this kind of life is called life.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the little uncle came late.

My uncle works in Huizhou, and came here by train in the early morning, and finally arrived at his hometown before noon.

Except for my mother who brought herself, the two uncles and aunts did not bring anyone over.My aunt and uncle came here in a car, and my aunt and uncle came here in a car, and my uncle had to take a taxi.

My mother cooks lunch alone, and my aunt and aunt can only help. My aunt has held a scalpel for 30 years and has forgotten how to hold a kitchen knife. Even at home, my uncle cooks, and my aunt does the same.

Grandpa enjoyed this meal very much. He has not been able to see all his children come to him for a long time, especially grandpa is 84 years old.

Grandpa's only regret is that these grandchildren did not come, only the grandson Dong Shanhe came.

After eating, Dong Shanhe hurriedly stopped his uncle, because he still had some things he wanted to communicate with his uncle.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you? Is it convenient for you now?" Although my uncle is a high-ranking official in the town, he is usually very busy with work, especially when he hears that he will be promoted after the new year.

"Xiaohe, what's the matter? You're still secretive with my uncle!" The uncle pulled Dong Shanhe to sit on a chair and chatted.

"Uncle, I heard that there are many places with particularly beautiful scenery in Huizhou. I have a friend who wants to open a resort, and he wants me to help him find a good place." Dong Shanhe had to lie.

He was afraid to say that it was him, that my uncle would make mistakes, and he would wait until he had an answer.

"Well, there are many places in Huizhou, but basically all of them have been contracted out, and the rest are not very good places." The uncle thought for a while, and found that he really didn't have any good places to forget.

"Uncle, think about it again, is there no place?" Dong Shanhe asked quickly, if there is no place for Uncle, he really has no good place to go.

"Let me think about it, I have it!" The uncle patted his thigh and finally remembered a good place.

"I remember that there is a good place in Shimen Township where I used to work. There is a reservoir surrounded by mountains. It used to be a leisure resort. Recently, I heard that the owner lacks funds and wants to contract out this place." The uncle thought about it, and finally thought of such a place in the place where he worked before.

"Uncle, tell me, what is a good place?" Hearing what my uncle said, Dong Shanhe became very curious.

"That reservoir is called Lianhua Reservoir, which was a product of the 60s. It was originally a reservoir that supplied water to the city of Huizhou. Who knew that it would take water directly from the Xin'an River and become a backup reservoir. However, this reservoir has a large area and a very good environment. "Yuan Feng has been to Lianhua Reservoir twice, and he still remembers the scenery there.

　It's the weekend, go home to spend time with my wife and children, I'll finish one chapter today, I'll do my best tomorrow.
