The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 7 Qingfeng Village in Memories

Li Ying said: "Today we took all the means of transportation that we could take, and the next thing we have to do is to walk."

Liu Jianguo: "I'm not afraid of walking, as long as I'm with you, I can keep walking."

Liu Jianguo was young at that time and had never been to the countryside before. He was full of curiosity everywhere, and for the sake of beautiful love, he would not feel tired no matter how far he walked.

Two red clouds flew up on Li Ying's face, how could she not understand the meaning of Liu Jianguo's words.

But she was embarrassed to pick up the conversation, and quickly changed the subject: "Liu Jianguo, let you also experience what it means to go out by walking and communicate by shouting. Don't shout for a while."

Liu Jianguo: "Don't underestimate me. If you can't walk anymore, I can still carry you."

Li Ying glared at Liu Jianguo, and took the lead to walk towards a mechanical farming road.

Liu Jianguo smiled and followed.

On both sides of the road are some paddy fields and dry fields. In the paddy fields, there are sparsely leftover rice stubble after harvest in autumn. They were beaten to this side by the frost. A group of ducks swim around in the paddy fields, pecking at fish and shrimp.

The dry fields are green, with wheat and rapeseed growing.

Seeing that Li Ying was silent, Liu Jianguo pointed to a wheat field and said, "Ah, what a big grass field!"

Li Ying laughed out loud, "What did you say?"

Liu Jianguo: "I said grass..."

Li Ying: "Liu Jianguo, you don't work hard, and you don't know the five grains. These are wheat seedlings."

Liu Jianguo: "I know it's wheat seedlings, I did it on purpose, imitating the tone of those who mistake wheat seedlings for grass and leeks."

Li Ying: "I can't tell, you still know something, don't you be fooled."

Liu Jianguo: "Is that all I have? Is it just relying on Meng?"

Li Ying: Let me ask you again, what is this? "

"rape."

"what about this?"

"Peanut sprouts."

"and this?"

"Pea tip."

"this?"

"Haha, this is simpler, you can see it at a glance, red-skinned radish."

Liu Jianguo was right about what Li Ying pointed at.

"It seems that you do know these crops. How do you know so much as a person who grew up in the city?"

Liu Jianguo said: "You underestimate me too, this is my ability."

Li Ying: "Just blow it!"

Liu Jianguo: "To be honest, our family used to be separated by a canal. The other side of the river was considered a suburb. There were farmers' fields and a farm with many fruit trees. It was our childhood paradise. My friends and I I often run there to play, so there are no crops and fruit trees in the field that we don’t know.”

No wonder!
No wonder they hit it off.

Among his classmates, Liu Jianguo was not as snobbish as some urbanites, and he looked at his classmates from the countryside differently.

Li Ying felt that it was a very happy thing to meet and fall in love with Liu Jianguo.

The two walked along the way, asking and answering, talking and laughing without feeling tired.

The two young people were not afraid of walking, but the weather was not good. It didn't take long for the gloomy sky to darken, and it was going to rain.

Walking to Bubadian in front of Buba village, except for the fields, there is almost a bare hillside. The bushes on the slope have been cut clean, which is firewood for the winter. There is a lack of firewood in the countryside, and even The thatch roots on the slopes will be dug up and dried to light the fire.

There are only a few sparse cypress trees left on the hillside, and even the branches of the cypress trees have been shaved so that only the tip of the tree is left, and there is not even a place to shelter from the rain.

Li Ying: "Hurry up, or you will be drowned today. We didn't see the right time when we came back."

Liu Jianguo didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't rain much in winter. Just get wet, don't be afraid."

Li Ying: "Don't underestimate the coldness of the winter rain on your body. It is the easiest to catch a cold."

Liu Jianguo: "Take a scarf and cover your head, so you don't catch a cold."

Li Ying: I have been used to it since I was a child, and I am no longer afraid of it, it's just you..."

Liu Jianguo: "Am I still afraid of being a man? Let's go..."

While speaking, the rain drifted down.

Straightforward.

The surrounding area also became foggy.

Although the rain in winter is not as heavy as the thunderstorm in summer, it is icy cold when it floats on the head and face.

The two quickened their pace.

Liu Jianguo: "How far is it?"

Li Ying pointed to a dirt slope in front of him and said, "Cross this slope and walk two or three miles."

Liu Jianguo wiped the rainwater off his face, "That's not far away."

Li Ying: "I'm talking about the shortest distance to go directly over this dirt slope. If you don't turn over the slope, you have to go around a little further on the machine farming road down the slope."

Liu Jianguo: "Then take a shortcut."

Li Ying: "It's raining, it's not easy to walk on the slope."

Liu Jianguo: "It's okay, I'll hold you."

Li Ying: I don't know who will pull who when the time comes.

But she didn't say it, Liu Jianguo's words made her feel happy.

Every girl wants to be protected.

The two of them were resting on the downhill slope. Li Ying wanted to find two sticks, but found nothing after looking around.

At this time, I suddenly heard a shout of "Yoo Hoo Hoo Yo Hoo..." from the hillside.

Li Ying was overjoyed and said, "It seems to be my brother's voice."

He shouted towards the mountain: "Qiang Wazi, is that you?"

The person above replied: "Sister, it's me, wait, I'll come down right away..."

As soon as the words were finished, I saw a young man rushing down the slope, and stopped in front of Li Ying.

"sister."

"Qiangwazi. Why are you here?"

"Dad sees it's going to rain, let me pick you up, I'm a bit late because I'm in a hurry."

Liu Jianguo: "It's not too late."

Li Ying: "Qiangzi, call someone, this is brother Jianguo. This is my younger brother Li Qiang."

"Brother Jianguo."

"Hi brother Li Qiang."

Li Ying's younger brother, Li Qiang, is about fourteen or fifteen years old. He is carrying a pannier, a bamboo hat, and a piece of white plastic tape. The calf trousers are obviously old, small and short, with two patches on the knees, and there are no shoes on the feet, so they ran down barefoot, and the feet were covered with mud.

Liu Jianguo: "It's such a cold day, don't you wear shoes?"

Li Qiang didn't care at all: "It's okay, it's more convenient to go barefoot in the rain."

As he spoke, he took off the pannier from his back, took out two raincoats from inside, and handed them to Liu Jianguo and Li Ying, "Brother Jianguo, sister, come and put on the raincoats."

After Li Jianguo and Li Ying put on their raincoats, they took out two pairs of rain boots, one large and one small, from the back basket, "Brother Jianguo, sister, come and change your shoes."

The white pull-back sneakers on Liu Jianguo's feet were already covered with mud and weighed more than two catties. It is estimated that the white sneakers will turn into completely muddy sneakers when they are called.

And the cotton shoes on Li Ying's feet were already wet.

Liu Jianguo: "This is really a timely help."

Li Qiang laughed.
