Chapter 241 Farmhouse?
With the adjustment of the overall planning and layout, and a series of measures of land transfer and centralized living, the roads of Hushan Village have changed greatly.

Those dirt roads in memory were either gradually submerged by weeds, or became part of the land, leaving only some necessary routes for working in the field.

A main road came from the highway intersection in Shangu Town, passed in front of the village committee of Hushan Village, and ran towards Qianfu Town.

Concrete roads, which can only accommodate a car, extend from all parts of the main road, like tiny branches protruding from the main trunk.

But most of these branches are incomplete, and they only stretch out for a short period and then stop abruptly.

This is also a problem in Hushan Village, and Gu Daqiang has been trying to solve it recently.

Huo Qianli came today, which is the best opportunity, but when they turned from the main road to a dead end road together, Gu Daqiang looked at Huo Qianli beside him, not thinking about the way at all, but looked at him worriedly. Looking at him, "Brother, do you want to stop thinking about it?"

Huo Qianli turned his head to look into Gu Daqiang's eyes, "Brother, do you really think I shouldn't go and see this old man?"

Gu Daqiang's expression froze, he did not speak, and silently lit a cigarette.

Huo Qianli sighed, "My relationship with Gu Gang's family is actually very deep. On the first day I came to the village, I encountered Gu Gang's family violence against Xu Yanting. The bloody scene, the attitude of the people around , To a certain extent, it directly pierced my unrealistic and beautiful fantasy about work, and made me quickly change my role, straighten my mind, and face up to the serious problems before me.”

He simply stopped, looked at the fields beside the road and the factory buildings in the distance, and continued: "From Xu Yanting, I also saw the pain that exists objectively but is often ignored in Hushan Village and even the vast rural areas. You know Yes, I have looked for her, but she never dared to think about escaping from that kind of life. It was not until the life in the village gradually improved, and the new wind blew in, that she, who had long been numb from what she was used to, finally knew that there was another person. Then she took the initiative to find me, and with my help, she successfully left here, went to a big city, and lived a good life."

He looked at Gu Daqiang with a smile, "She came to see me once two years ago, she had a very good life, her face was white and tender, she also looked like a beauty when she dressed up, and she could drive a car, by the way, she still has a child, you Remember, that little boy with a long nose, wearing a small suit, small leather shoes, and can speak a few words of English!"

Gu Daqiang also smiled. If he used to be, he might not think that there is anything wrong with the matter between Gu Gang and Xu Yanting, but now, after going out and getting in touch with the outside world for a few years, he also knows that it should not be normal. Living a good life is indeed something to be happy about.

Huo Qianli's smile faded slowly, "When I returned to Hushan Village, Gu Gang fell in love with Qian Renping, and lived a good life that many people envied. It's a pity that seeing him build a tall building, seeing his building collapse, Qian Renping He went in, and as a core member, he also went in, and the illegally obtained villas and luxury cars were also disposed of."

"All of this, from the perspective of fairness and justice, is well deserved and a happy thing. But from the perspective of that old man? His wife passed away, his daughter-in-law divorced and ran away with others, and his only His little grandson was taken away, and his son finally had a good life, but was arrested again, and now he is alone, and the house is gone.”

Huo Qianli looked at Gu Daqiang and laughed at himself, "As the instigator, shouldn't I go and see him?"

Gu Daqiang stomped out the cigarette butt, held it in his hand, and looked at Huo Qianli, "That's the truth, but I'm afraid you will be beaten!"

Huo Qianli, who had been sensational for a long time, froze for a while, and gave Gu Daqiang a resentful look.

He was a little guilty and said: "How is the old man's skills? I am so young, I should be able to hide in time, right?"

In the village these years, he has not seen those old farmers in their 70s and [-]s walking like flying with dozens of catties on their shoulders.

Gu Daqiang chuckled, "It should be fine."

Huo Qianli twitched the corners of his mouth and drooped his head, "Let's go!"

Walking along the cement road for a short distance, I saw a prefabricated house with a blue roof and white walls. The area is not large, it is estimated to be only forty square meters.

A small piece of concrete floor was added in front of the door, and some brooms, dustpans, and tin buckets were placed along the bottom of the wall. This is what he "eats" now.

In a corner outside the house, an old man sat on a small bench and guarded a small stove, concentrating on the firewood in the hearth, and fiddled with the tongs from time to time.

On the stove, there is an antimony pot. Under the continuous urging of the flames, the somewhat deformed pot lid dances restlessly and coyly with the instigation of the steam.

Gu Daqiang and Huo Qianli walked over slowly, when there were still about ten steps away, Gu Daqiang said with a smile: "Master Ming! It's not lunch yet!"

"Please comfort the village chief and ask, not yet."

The old man turned around while talking, and then the smile on his face froze suddenly.

After a moment of silence, the old man picked up the broom at the side with an attitude seriously out of age, and threw it at Huo Qianli with both hands raised high.

"You fucking loser, how dare you come here!"

"What are you doing! You still want to hit a national cadre!" Gu Daqiang, who had been prepared for a long time, grabbed Gu Daming's hand and shouted in a deep voice.

The old man's face turned red in an instant, and his eyes spewed fire, "If you hit me, you will hit me, what's wrong! It's him who made me look like this, at worst, if I kill him, I will pay for my bad life." Already!"

Gu Daqiang saw that the matter could not be resolved with a few words, so he simply exerted his strength, grabbed the broom, and threw it aside, "It's so easy to talk! Eat well and dress warmly, don't move around there, you will die or live!" "

Huo Qianli took a step forward, looked at the old man who was staring at him fiercely like an enraged bull, and said calmly: "Old man, do you really think it's my fault that you are doing this now?"

The old man was taken aback by these words, and then he pouted angrily, "Don't blame you, don't you blame me?"

Huo Qianli was noncommittal, took a step forward, and looked at the old man, "Do you think that since I came, your family's life has become difficult?"

"You just found out that you are a mourner?" The old man didn't realize it himself. After he started to have a normal conversation with Huo Qianli, his emotions slowly calmed down, "Since you came, there has been nothing in my house Have a safe life! My youngest son was cheated of money, and you didn’t help him! My daughter-in-law ran away, and my youngest grandson was also taken away! Finally, you rolled away, and my youngest son will live a better life soon The days have passed, a big house has been repaired, a small car has been bought, and new friends have been talked about, and life is finally getting better! As a result, you are like a lingering ghost, and you are running again. Arrested my son to the classroom, lost the house and car, and the mother-in-law ran away! These are not your faults!"

Huo Qianli sighed, "Old man, whether it's me or not, as long as any conscientious and principled cadre is replaced, Gu Gang will end up like this. In fact, you should know more or less what he has done. You say When I entered the classroom, I was all blamed, so do you think Zhan Baoxing's family has ever blamed me? If you want to say that your son really did nothing wrong, it was purely me targeting him, why didn't anyone in Murakami speak up for him? In fact, you know that your son deserves what he deserved, but you just don't want to admit it."

Gu Daqiang turned his head to look at Huo Qianli with some doubts, did he run so hard to stab the old man's already injured heart again?

The old man was obviously a little dazed by the knife, and his cultural level was not enough to organize a logical and effective counterattack, so he blushed, and after a while, he said, "Fart your mother!"

But this sentence is only insulting, not lethal.

Huo Qianli took another step forward, the old man subconsciously moved back a little bit, Gu Daqiang finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, it seemed that at least there would be no fight.

"Old man, I'm not here today to talk to you about the past. I want to talk to you about the future. "

Looking at the hesitant and defensive eyes of the old man, Huo Qianli said seriously: "Life has to go on, can't it be like this forever?"

The old man's body posture slowly relaxed, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the tobacco rod at his waist. Gu Daqiang knew that the heat was almost ready, and laughed and laughed, "What's the matter if you stand up to the end, Mr. Ming, your house The head is not so bad that it doesn't even have a bench!"

The old man hesitated for a moment, and moved two stools into the room.

More than half an hour later, Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang got up and left. The old man sent them to the intersection, and then went back to eat at the request of the two.

Gu Daqiang lit a cigarette, "Brother, your heart is really good enough. But let me tell you, Uncle Ming is also at fault. If he hadn't been used to it all day, Gu Gang wouldn't have become what he is now. Didn't the book say that?" ! Do you want to teach father and son to live!"

After walking a few steps forward, Huo Qianli stopped, turned his head to look at the lonely and slightly hunched back, and slowly walked back to the board room that was already very shabby in today's Hushan Village, "The limitations of the times, we have to understand and Tolerance. The progress of society is too fast. There will always be people who are stuck in the past and appear outdated, clumsy or unreasonable. But as long as our hearts are not bad, we should not rely on the advantages of the latecomers to be superior, because we will eventually become the latecomers Antiques in people's eyes."

Gu Daqiang nodded in agreement, and then said angrily: "You said that bastard, Haitao, couldn't get into a university!"

"Okay, what's the point of marrying a high-achieving student as a wife!" Huo Qianli laughed, and then said seriously: "What I just said, I'll trouble you to pay more attention."

"Don't worry!" Gu Daqiang nodded, "You're helping me solve Murakami's problem, so why don't I care about it! Gu Gang and the others still have a bit of a foundation in the house, although it is said that Gu Gang earns money in the future. The stolen money, but Murakami's dividends, the subsidy for disaster relief at that time, there are still tens of thousands of dollars in pieces. I will find more work for him in the village. After a few years when Gu Gang comes out, the second father should take The house can be repaired."

This is exactly what Huo Qianli mentioned to the old man just now. Take care of your health, save money, and re-establish the family business. When Gu Gang comes back, the two fathers will live a stable life. Murakami will try to help them solve their livelihood problems. But the premise is that you have to work hard.

Gu Daqiang suddenly smiled and said: "It means that there is no plan to build a house in Murakami now, otherwise it would be easy to arrange a house for him at the front of the house."

Huo Qianli's expression moved slightly, and he smiled, "Let's go, let's go around the village."

Gu Daqiang was taken aback, "Let's go back and eat our meal first."

Only then did Huo Qianli realize that there was something he had forgotten, and he walked back home with Gu Daqiang with a smile.

After eating a little, the two walked around the village again.

Now the whole village actually no longer has the previous geographical divisions, and all the people in the village are gathered in the settlements near the village committee, so that the places Huo Qianli was familiar with are now things. Neither human nor non-human.

"I remember that this used to be Mr. Gu Chengrong's house, right?"

Huo Qianli pointed to a piece of land that had just been harvested and was being leveled.

"Damn, I still remember this bamboo forest. It was that time when we went to him and he pretended to tell the truth, but I tricked him out and caught him right there!"

"Haha, remember! Remember! I was drunk that night, sorghum wine is really strong."

"Hey, I remember that this place used to be a weir pond, how did it become soil?"

"If you live in a concentrated area, there will be no people in this area. Didn't we mention the reclamation of the homestead at that time? Zhan Baoxing and the others simply filled this in, and the land can be connected into one piece."

"Then why do these few bamboo forests remain?"

"Don't talk about it, this ghost thing is very difficult to clean up. Simply chopping the bamboo on it is useless. The faster you chop it, the faster it will grow! Only after chopping, sprinkle sesame seeds, or pour salt water, or even use an excavator to clean it up." Only by digging up all the roots can we solve the problem! Therefore, some bamboo forests that are not just in the middle of the earth are simply left behind."

"Brother Huo, do you still know where this is?"

"Why don't you know me, the place I used to come to every day, haha."

"Hey, I'm really emotional when I say it. At the beginning, the old man of Qingyue girl was tired and thin in order to repair the house, and later put his life in it for it. Now the house is turned into dirt, and there is no trace of it. I can't even see it."

"Therefore, we must seize the opportunity of the development of the times. If we cling to these once precious things, we are likely to miss the truly better things in the future."

Gu Daqiang nodded in agreement.

"Brother, do you think you like the current village?"

The two walked for a long time, and finally found a few stone stools built by the villagers to sit down. Huo Qianli asked a question that surprised Gu Daqiang.

Seeing Gu Daqiang's surprised and hesitant expression, Huo Qianli smiled slightly, "Just chat casually, we two brothers, don't think so much."

Gu Daqiang wiped his bald head, slowly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, and took the opportunity to think and organize his words, "What do you mean, it must be more comfortable to live like this now, everyone is close, convenient and lively But hey, there are indeed many things that are lost, such as weir ponds, bamboo forests, and fruit forests; chopping firewood, picking bamboo shoot shells in bamboo forests to make fire, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats to herd cattle, etc., are still less fun. For sure, life is much better now."

Huo Qianli nodded, "Then tell me, how about I build a batch of farmhouses here?"

Gu Daqiang has lived in the city for several years, so of course he knows what a farmhouse is. After thinking about it, he easily came to a conclusion: those who have this idea should have their heads caught by the door.

Out of respect for Huo Qianli, he tried his best to use a tactful tone: "Farmhouse fun? Who will come to play? People in the village are afraid to come! Those people in the town can't afford it."

Huo Qianli smiled, "We built it according to the most typical forest pan style, with a small pond in front of it, a spacious courtyard dam, and a little vegetable field and fruit forest after the house. The house is designed according to the batch we designed before. Make it like that in the yard, and leave a few more guest rooms.”

Gu Daqiang frowned, looking at Huo Qianli's serious expression, he was quite puzzled, why can't he persuade him?

He said, "Brother Huo, your design doesn't seem to attract tourists, does it?"

"You're right." Huo Qianli nodded, then paused, "Then build another museum of Chinese herbal medicines, focusing on Danshen, plus those Chinese herbal medicines we can grow, and make an introduction, starting from planting From processing to finished product, the whole process will be explained in detail.”

Without waiting for Gu Daqiang to refute, he said again: "Well, let's add another folk custom experience hall! It should be good to add all the interesting things you just mentioned, and then set up some scenes to experience."

"Brother, wait a minute!" Gu Daqiang finally couldn't help it anymore, "No one is interested in what you say! Look at the farmhouses in the city, either they are picking something, or they are just surrounded by mountains and rivers. , eat specialty products, we order these, which one wants to come?"

Huo Qianli smiled slightly, "Why is no one coming, people with children will come."

"Have children?" Gu Daqiang was startled, and then his eyes widened suddenly, "You mean to let those city people bring dolls to play with?"

"Playing? How can it be called playing?" Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows mischievously, "This is called research."
