Huangcun Hongxing

Tomb-sweeping Day came, and Laren Village, which had always been quiet, became lively all of a sudden, much more lively than New Year's Eve.For those who work or do business outside all year round, it is far more important to go home to worship ancestors on Qingming Festival than to go home for the New Year.This is the reason everyone understands. Going home to worship the ancestors is nothing more than to seek the protection of the ancestors, bless themselves with wealth and sex, and so on.

These people will only think of their ancestors when they expect their ancestors to give them benefits.

When their ancestors were still alive, these people often did not fulfill their filial piety for a day, especially men, who left their wives and children at home and went out to work or do business by themselves. They never asked about the health of their parents. If you are sick, you can pay a few dollars to return, and if you die, you can take a few days off and come back to take care of the funeral.

The excitement of the Ching Ming Festival is definitely worse than that of the Chinese New Year. Those men who do not want to go home to meet their parents, wives and children during the Chinese New Year, and those girls who are fascinated by the colorful world outside, the Ching Ming Festival But they all actively came back to worship their ancestors.

Liu Gao looked at those elders with hatred in his heart.All these men were well dressed, many of them drove back to the village in small cars, and he still lived in two old-fashioned old tile-roofed houses with wooden frames, which were the only old tile-roofed houses among more than fifty families in the village.Others' homes are at least three-story bungalows, and some even look like small bungalows. The interior is so bright that Liu Gao wants to grab some mud and throw it on the wall when he sees it.Desolate Village Red Apricot 1

What can be done? Liu Gao’s parents died when he was ten years old, leaving behind a sick grandfather who barely raised him until he was 16 years old, and he died. The next thing is to rely on the help of the neighbors to take care of it. of.Focusing on this, Liu Gao is still not ready to throw mud on the small bungalow.

Among the army returning to the village, there were also people who fascinated Liu Gao as soon as he saw them. Of course, these people were the girls from the village, and the girlfriends brought back by the brothers.

Before the village girls left the village, they were all dressed in rough clothes and carrying baskets on their backs, climbing all over the mountain to hunt pig vegetables. Unexpectedly, after leaving the village and going outside for two years, when they came back, every pheasant turned into a phoenix. It's no worse than the girls in the city, and they are still face-to-face, and the hibiscus comes out of the clear water, so they can be carved naturally.

The good mountains and good water make their skin naturally white, tender and attractive. In this regard, it is not comparable to those girls in the city who can't go out without powder and make-up.

It's a pity that when these village girls go out, all of them are nostalgic for city life, and most of them have married in the city.This caused more males than females in the villages where there are more males than females. There are more and more bachelor men. Those who are capable go out to work and bring girls from other places home to live. Those who are not capable can’t find them in villages, and they can’t take them outside. No, I can only be an honest bachelor.

There are only two to three hundred men in the village, except for the old and young, and there are only a hundred young men, but there are more than a dozen of them who are still bachelors, some of them are nearly forty years old, and some of them are still regular. In the young and middle age of frantically looking for a wife.

For Liu Gao, whose grandfather just passed away last year and who was only 17 years old in Niannian, he is still not a bachelor, but his diploma in the second grade of elementary school, his family property of two old tile-roofed houses, and a few pieces of wasteland that almost grow trees will help him in the future. It's strange if you're not a bachelor.

And his bachelor will also be the most naked, uneducated, and lazy.When I go out to work, I don’t accept any cultural factories. I go to the construction site for two days, and I don’t want to go to work anymore.All he wanted to do was to burn the weeds on a few pieces of land at home, borrow cattle from other people's houses to make a mess of them, scatter a few vegetables, and wait to eat them without fertilizing them.

Tell him to grow corn, there is no manure, no pigs or cows for him to trample on, he made it himself, he feels sick when he sees it, and he would pick it up and fertilize it.However, planting plantain taro and hairy taro is what he is most willing to do, because as long as there is soil, dig a hole and bury it, it is guaranteed to grow full fruit. When the time comes, dig it out and cook it, it will be sweet and fragrant Yes, belly wraps are perfectly fine.

Therefore, in Liu Gao's few wasteland-like fields, there are quite a lot of plantain taro and wool yu, so Liu Gao will not starve to death.

Without rice, he naturally went to the neighbors to beg for it. If he had no meat, he would go to the neighbor’s house to eat it. If he was really hungry, he would carry a wooden fork and carry a curved hatchet to the mountains and forests. When he saw a snake, he forked it, and when he saw a beehive. Just smash, this is the fastest way to get meat.Anyway, on hot days, there are quite a lot of snakes in the mountains, and he can get one or two every time he goes up the mountain.And in the ravines and creeks, you can also catch crabs and frogs, and if you are lucky, you can even touch a few fish.Therefore, Liu Gao has become a little hunter in the modern countryside.Pork and beef are unpalatable, but as long as he is willing to go into the mountains and forests, he can eat wild game.

In addition to snakes, frogs and bees, you can occasionally use iron cats to settle some squirrels, and sometimes you can dig bamboo beavers under the pagoda.Of course, the bamboo raccoon meat is extremely beautiful, but he is reluctant to eat it by himself. When he brought it to the county market, the buyers were surrounded by a tight crowd. A bamboo raccoon weighs only one or two catties, but it costs two to three hundred yuan. Not a problem at all.

In the mountains and forests, there are a lot of wild shiitake mushrooms on the dead trees that have been crushed by wind and snow. In addition, there will be a kind of thing called santao fungus emerging from the ground, which looks like shiitake mushrooms, but tastes more delicious.It is called Santang bacteria because once this kind of fungus grows out of the ground, there must be three places nearby at the same time, hence the name Santang (the word "Tang" means "place" in the village).

Liu Gaoda has been fishing a lot in the mountains and forests with his grandfather since he was ten years old. The delicacy is expensive, and can be sold for more than [-] yuan per catty, so he is usually reluctant to eat it, and takes it to the county town for money.Of course, he would usually exchange the shiitake mushrooms for money, which can be exchanged for seven or eight yuan a catty, and sometimes it can be increased to ten yuan.

With wild game and wild mushrooms, Liu Gao has meat to eat and pocket money to spend.

It is impossible to starve to death Liu Gao, a loner, unless he cannot walk one day.

Cough cough, let's not say much about Liu Gao's way of life, let's talk about those village girls who went back to the village and those sisters who were brought home by their buddies, it really made Liu Gao's eyes straight.

Although the aunts, aunts, and sisters-in-law who stayed behind in the village are also very beautiful, they are dressed plainly, not as fashionable as the flower girls who came back from outside.

Damn, if only I could get a sister from the city to be my wife.Desolate Village Red Apricot 1

Liu Gao mutters like this every year.
