Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Tree edge of the village together, Aoyama Guo oblique. When standing near Yulong Longevity Palace, Gao Mingcheng, a man with little education, had such a poem in his mind.

Look at the ancient buildings with blue bricks, gray tiles and cornices in front of you. The tall horse-headed wall with its head raised to the sky, accompanying the blue sky and the breeze, has stood here from ancient times to the present.

The weather of history is imprinted on the buildings, and most buildings look dusty and old.

Now that the ancient buildings have not been protected, it is not as clean and spacious as the cultural scenic spots of later generations, but it also has a sense of life that the cultural scenic spots do not have.

Many cultural scenic spots look nice and are newly decorated, but they are like emotionless model houses. Once you have been there, you will forget about them after seeing them.

There are still people living in the old ancient buildings, but there are also a few houses that are too old, almost collapsed, and can no longer be inhabited, so the doors are open.

Once an old house is uninhabited, it will decay faster. Look, there is some dust accumulated in the tiles on the eaves, and above the dust, moss and weeds grow.

There was also a wall that was broken open by a water paulownia tree.

The patio of Sishui Guitang was even more overgrown with weeds.

Gao Mingcheng was worried that there was a risk of the house collapsing, so he did not let Duo Mei and Xiao Xuxu go in to visit. Instead, he went to a nearby small shop and bought a few packs of cigarettes. He took the cigarettes and found a house. After exchanging a few words, he A pack of cigarettes was handed over, and permission was granted to enter the house for a visit.

Many beautiful people looked at the ancient buildings in front of them with curiosity, and then stepped into the door.

This house is from the Qing Dynasty, so it has a front hall and a back hall layout. There is a relatively narrow patio in front of the hall. This patio can not only provide lighting and ventilation, but also takes the meaning of four waters returning to the hall. As the saying goes, the rich water does not flow to outsiders. field.

There was still some water in the narrow patio. In the water, there were two turtles, one big and one small, lying there motionless.

The owner of the house said that he has raised this turtle for many years, and in the patio where the turtle is raised, no matter how heavy the rain is, the water will not accumulate, but will drain out quickly. This is because the turtle often moves in the ditch. It has a natural dredging effect.

Except for the room where the owner lives, Gao Mingcheng took Duomei on a tour of other places, such as the hall, hall, kitchen, etc.

After leaving, he found a few houses with different layouts. After communicating with the owners, he opened the way and got permission to go in and visit.

Different from the front hall and back hall in the Qing Dynasty, most houses in the Ming Dynasty had a front hall and a back hall, but no matter what, there was a narrow patio in the middle. If you encounter a larger house, the location of the patio is also different. It will be expanded accordingly.

I visited several restaurants in succession, and finally bought food in the canteen of Yulong Wanshou Palace.

Gao Mingcheng brought many beauties to visit these ancient buildings, not because they were culturally literate, but out of pure curiosity.

When they were children, they all heard the old man talk about ancient times, saying that the houses in Gaojia Village were left from the Ming Dynasty, and they were repaired and expanded during the Qing Dynasty. People in the entire village lived together.

At that time, the houses were very close to each other. Whenever it rained, there would be a splashing sound from the big patio and the small patio.

But no matter how heavy the rain is, it will not affect the villagers' movement in the village, because all the eaves are connected together, and the rainwater in the patio will flow into the pond at the entrance of the village along natural channels.

Unfortunately, all this ended in a fire.

Duo Mei said with emotion: "I remember when I was a kid, my dad also told me about the old house in Gaojia Village. At that time, my dad's family lived in a house in the northwest corner of the village. At that time, there were only two rooms, and there was no place to eat. The stoves are all set up outside, so if it rains, we won’t be able to cook.”

"My dad said that when he was in his twenties, a warlord once came to the village to capture young men. At that time, many people hid in the mountains. My dad also wanted to hide, but it was too late and he was captured anyway."

"He followed the team all the way to Fujian. Fortunately, the team he was in had never fought and was only responsible for transporting supplies. Later, the large army lost and the team was in chaos, so he took the opportunity to escape. He went out and walked all the way home. On the way, he fainted from hunger beside a haystack of a family. If the family hadn't been kind enough to save him and feed him a bowl of porridge, he might have died. Died there."

Mentioning the past, many beautiful faces are full of memories.

In fact, her memory of her father has begun to become a little blurry.

Because she was the youngest child in the family, her mother died not long after she was born. Her father raised four children by himself, and had a very hard life as both a mother and a father. A few years later, Got sick and died.

Gao Mingcheng listened quietly, holding Xiao Xuxu in his arms and feeding him.

After a while, he said: "The houses here are different from those in our village before. Most of them are single-family houses. I heard people say before that there seemed to be the same houses in our village over there in Ganzhou. I will look for them again. Ask around, if there is one, I will take you there to see."

Duo Mei looked up at him with bright eyes and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

She still wanted to see the kind of house her father talked about.

A whole village of houses connected together!

After having lunch here and taking a short rest, Gao Mingcheng took his wife and children back to the city police station.

Gao Guobing and the others had a meeting in the morning, had lunch in the bureau, and could go back in the afternoon.

When Gao Mingcheng went to pick him up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After receiving the person, everyone discussed it and said they wanted to buy some specialties and go back.

It’s a rare trip out, so it’s natural to buy some local specialties.

Gao Mingcheng asked someone for directions, then drove all the way there and bought Huwan Youmian, Guangchang Bailian and Magu wine.

This Huwan oil noodles has a great origin. During the Qing Dynasty, it was a tribute to the imperial court, so it is also called Longxu tribute noodles. This noodles is easy to digest, and tastes non-sticky, smooth and delicate.

As for the white lotus in Guangchang, the water conditions there are good, and the white lotus produced there is large in color and has large white grains, and is sweet and fragrant. Gao Mingcheng bought a few kilograms and planned to use it to make porridge.

Gao Guobing also bought these two, but his favorite was Magu wine.

Holding a bottle of Magu wine, Gao Guobing said with a smile: "Now that I am older, I like to drink this Magu wine."

The reason why Gao Guobing said this is because this Magu wine can also be regarded as medicinal wine.

It uses Yinzhu glutinous rice as the main raw material, adds mountain spring water, and more than 20 precious Chinese medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflorum and Ganoderma lucidum, and is brewed using traditional brewing methods.

This wine has a rich aroma and sweet taste, and is very popular among health-conscious people.

And it has quite a history. It is said to have a history of more than 1,700 years. It was exported overseas during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a local famous brand.

Gao Mingcheng was still young and didn't like this wine very much, but since he was here, he definitely wanted to buy some to take back.

Lou Xinyu also bought two bottles, but these two bottles of wine were not for him to drink himself, but for his future father-in-law!

The last time he went to Gaojia Village, Gao Yuan gave him a bottle of rice wine he steamed. This time he planned to return the favor and spend more time with his future in-laws in the name of sending wine.

To be honest, Lou Xinyu is very satisfied with Gao Shufang. Gao Shufang is not ugly, and is quite beautiful. She can't fault anything in her words and actions. What's even more gratifying is that she has four brothers!
This is really good news for Lou Xinyu who has no relatives!

Brother-in-law and brother-in-law are more difficult to deal with, but once they are done, everyone becomes a family! Marrying Gao Shufang and getting a whole family of relatives and friends is a great deal!
Lou Xinyu not only bought wine, but also told Gao Mingcheng the idea.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at him and suddenly asked: "Can you drive a tractor?"

Lou Xinyu immediately said: "Yes!"

Not to mention tractors, he can also drive cars!

As long as you know how to drive, Gao Mingcheng said: "I bought a new car and the tractor is going to be used in the village. Let's do it this way. When we have the holiday next weekend, I will drive the car and you will drive the tractor. We will go back to the village together." Bar."

If Gao Mingcheng drives his tractor back, it will be inconvenient for him to return to the county. Don’t you just find a labor force now?
It’s labor force, so it must be exploited!
Lou Xinyu agreed, but at the same time he also made a small suggestion: "Can't you go back this weekend?"

Seeing that the weekend is only one day away, Lou Xinyu is eager to return home!
But his suggestion was rejected by Gao Mingcheng, who said expressionlessly: "I will go to Yangcheng tomorrow to purchase goods."

When Lou Xinyu heard this, he immediately stopped saying anything.

The return journey went smoothly. When we arrived at the county, it was still bright. Gao Guobing asked Gao Mingcheng to go to his house for dinner, and Gao Mingcheng naturally agreed.

As for Lou Xinyu, he took the things he bought to the clothing store.

I went to the city today and saw some people and things. I just had something to talk about with Gao Shufang!

The dinner was quite sumptuous, because Zhao Dongmei had already prepared it and specially made two light dishes that even little Xuxu could eat.

The dishes they usually eat are very spicy, and only when there are children at home, they will specially cook one or two light dishes.

Many beauties said before that they wanted to buy a chicken for Gao Mingcheng, but they couldn't eat it because they went out, but now Gao Mingcheng can eat a duck!

Zhao Dongmei fried a large plate of duck, adding a lot of chili peppers and seasonings. When it came out of the pan, the aroma was overwhelming.

However, this plate of duck was missing two duck legs!
It turned out that the duck legs were steamed on rice and prepared for Xiao Xuxu to eat.

Little Xuxu likes to eat meat, but her baby teeth are not strong enough and she often gets meat strands stuck between her teeth.

As soon as his teeth were plugged, he screamed, then opened his mouth toward people, gesturing for adults to help him remove the meat from the gaps between his teeth.

Zhao Dongmei liked Xiao Xuxu very much. She held him in her arms and sat down to eat, taking care of him all the time. As for eating by herself, she never took a bite.

Zhao Dongmei hugged the cute little Xuxu and couldn't hide her excitement and said: "Mingcheng, I received a call from Gao Hong two days ago. He said that he can take a vacation in September this year and come back to get the marriage certificate with Li Fei. Put on the wedding banquet!”

Hearing this, Gao Mingcheng first congratulated, and then said jokingly: "Has Gao Hong been promoted?"

Zhao Dongmei and Gao Guobing smiled more and more on their faces, and said with a smile: "It's a promotion."

Promotion and marriage, two great joys!

Many beauties also congratulated them.

Zhao Dongmei said with a smile: "Although we are getting married in September, we still have to make preparations. Recently, your uncle and I were discussing whether to host the banquet in a hotel outside or at home."

"Gao Hong is away from home all year round. Although his room has a bed and furniture, there is nothing else. Everything needs to be prepared."

"By the way, Mingcheng, if you want to go to Yangcheng to buy goods in July and August, please help bring back a refrigerator and a washing machine!"

Gao Mingcheng naturally agreed to Zhao Dongmei's request.

After the time has entered the 1990s, when young people nowadays get married, it is no longer the old three things, but the new three things!

Their place was small and they couldn't afford color TVs and refrigerators, so they asked Gao Mingcheng to go to Yangcheng to bring them back. Gao Mingcheng was able to get a preferential price from Fan Chengyao.

After Zhao Dongmei finished speaking, Gao Guobing also expressed his position. He said: "I still want to have wine at home! The house is so big, and there can be several tables in the yard!"

Zhao Dongmei scolded him: "You have so many leaders and friends, and I also have leaders and friends here. Together, we have to sit at a lot of tables! Gao Hong didn't have many comrades over there, but Li Fei also had two or three tables! "

Gao Guobing frowned slightly, seemingly unhappy.

It's just that he is majestic outside, but he is not very talkative at home.

Seeing that they were having a conflict, Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Let's do this, uncle and aunt, you decide the number of guests first, and then decide whether to serve wine at home or in a restaurant outside."

“If the number of people can fit, it’s better to have the wine at home.”

Gao Mingcheng's words were somewhat inclined to Gao Guobing's side.

Because people these days actually prefer to have wine at home, as they feel it is more family-like.

Zhao Dongmei didn't have to serve drinks in an outside restaurant, so she agreed.

It's still early to get married. Although we need to make various preparations now, we are not in a hurry.

Gao Mingcheng asked again whether Li Fei would stay in the county or follow Gao Hong in the army after Gao Hong and Li Fei got married.

Zhao Dongmei said: "Stay in the county first. After Gao Hong returns to the army, he will report to the superiors. If everything goes well, he will join the army next year."

Li Fei is a teacher. After joining the army, they will arrange for Li Fei to continue to be a teacher, so she will have a job.

After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng felt a little sad.

In his previous life, Gao Hong was not promoted so quickly. After marrying Li Fei, the two lived in separate places, spending less time together and more time apart. A few years later, Li Fei was able to join the army, and then when Gao Hong changed his job, the couple's working relationship was transferred to this county.

What Gao Mingcheng is curious about now is that in his previous life, the two of them got together less and separated more. The children were only conceived three years after marriage. At that time, they gave birth to a daughter. Because of work, they could not have a second child. This matter also became Gao Hong's problem. Pity.

Now that Li Fei can join the army early, maybe the child can be conceived earlier.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng just thought about this matter casually. Anyway, he couldn't control it and could only let it happen. (End of chapter)
