Chapter 140
From a funeral home to an office building in the city center, and from an office building to Yanqing County in the suburbs.In the more than four months since Xiaoxian came to BJ, she finally completed one, a sex in the suburbs.Mao Dazhu didn't explain the second half of the so-called will, but only said to take them to a place to see.

"Bai Lao Si should have told you that he is a disciple of our South Gate," Mao Dazhu was very proud when he mentioned the words South Gate.

It's a pity that the three people who listened to him didn't know how to read people's eyes. When they mentioned the South Gate, the other two shook their heads like a rattle.

The straightforward Feng Xing added at the end: "I am quite familiar with BJ's Dongdaemun. The fried sesame seeds in that area are very delicious."

"I'm really ignorant. I think back then our Nanmen flower art, especially the five arts of pine, bamboo, plum, orchid and chrysanthemum, was the best in the world. From the south to the edge of Yunnan and Guizhou, and to the north to the banks of the Yalu River, which one of those big families and parks can't invite a pot of us. The potted plants in the south gate are the pride. I have Mao Dazhu, and I grow arrow bamboo, which is the best choice for raising pandas in Wolong, Sichuan. The flowers and plants cut out by Bai Laosi are put in the State Guesthouse, and they are always applauded by foreigners. Yes." Mao Dazhu recalled that year, but also had some longing, who was not as young as he was.

It took two hours for the Hongqi car to enter the boundary of Yanqing. At that time, there was not much difference between districts in BJ. In winter, the trees withered, and it was a gray scene everywhere.

It wasn't until we entered the suburbs, that is, the undeveloped areas like Yanqing, that the appearance changed a little.It snowed two days ago, and today, the snow has melted, and the car was a little bumpy after passing the water-logged road.

"It's just that the South Gate was very famous in the past. Does it have anything to do with our coming to this area?" Zhuo Feng looked out the window, and the mountains in the north in winter were like mounds, looking thick and solid.

"Of course it has something to do with it. I missed it just now. In fact, besides the house that cannot be sold, Bai Laosi also has a piece of land in Yanqing, which he bought specially for planting flowers." Mao Dazhu said, The car has also arrived.

The area around Yanqing is full of small households and small households. Compared with Gecun before the development, it is not much better.But it is said that relying on big trees is good for enjoying the shade. Yanqing has been affected by the radiation of BJ city, and the traffic roads have been straightened. It is said that in a few years, the railway leading to the city will also be repaired.

"It's such an open land," Zhuo Feng got out of the car, and saw a half-acre land in the south, and suddenly saw the open land in the north, brown wasteland, square, as if it had been captured by someone. Measured cubes of tofu.On the ground, there are only some rice stalks and wheat grains that were burned before the winter.

The snow that has melted in the city is still piled up in white in the suburbs.

"Bai Laosi's field is just ahead," Mao Dazhu tucked his hands into his sleeves, folded his hands together, and stomped his feet.Different from Bai Laosi's withdrawn temperament, Mao Dazhu is an authentic city resident, who is used to the water and convenience in the city. If he hadn't brought Bai Laosi's juniors here today, he would not have come to such a place. Backcountry.

Saying yes, I didn't feel wronged by that word.Bai Juyi is a conscientious person. During the few years when he moved from the south to the north, he disliked the narrowness of the city, and he would have to squeeze into the house even if he repaired the branches. He abandoned his residence in the city and wanted to spend time with Mei in the surrounding The county inspected it.It was not appropriate to leave BJ, so I finally chose Yanqing, an area to be developed with many people and few lands.

"I didn't say much about the money that Bai Laosi owed me. I was with his senior brother, and I shouldn't have talked about those mundane things. But I also have seniors and juniors. You know, this What kind of open-door policy will the government implement in a few years, as soon as the flowers from the Netherlands and New Zealand are imported, my Five Gentlemen Flower Art will be in trouble." Mao Dazhu said with a loud nasal voice.

"Flower art, isn't it? I see the furnishings in your office, it looks more like a bamboo weaving company, bamboo poles, bamboo and rattan chairs, pen holders, brushes, where do you see any potted plants. This uncle Mao, can you Don't blackmail us." Zhuo Feng is not blind, looking at Bai Juyi and Mao Dazhu's behavior, they have completely different styles, so the two of them work together, and they quarrel every day.

"What do you know? I don't know how popular bamboo products are in foreign countries. When Master took us five disciples back then, there were three men and two women. Two of them were useless and gave up halfway. The rest were me, Mao Dazhu, Bai Juyi and Mei Xiang. .The three of them were considered outstanding in the Chinese flower garden back then. If you don’t believe me, you will follow me.” Mao Dazhu didn’t know whether Zhuo Feng’s words hit his heart or was blown by the north wind in Yanqing, his nose and face turned red. All right.

It was about 35 years ago that Bai Juyi and Mei wanted to leave this land. At that time, Bai Juyi's eldest sister fell ill, and the couple only planned to leave for a month and fifteen days, but they left for 35 years.

Mao Dazhu walked in the front, the man driving the car followed behind, and in the middle were Xiao Xian, Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing.

The snow brought not only the beautiful snow light of the northern country, but also the severe cold that made people's toes freeze after walking a few steps. Zhuo Feng's toes were numb after walking a few steps.

Look at Xiaoxian again, she is still walking very lightly, and look at the place where she landed, the snow has not collapsed, and she walks as if she is floating.

"It's better to be young," Zhuo Feng sighed, thinking that when she was as light as a swallow, she was not like now, when she wore a little less clothes, she was scolded endlessly by her husband.

"Wife, what's the matter? It's cold, it's getting into my clothes," Feng Xing rushed forward.

"Drill what, you think it's in the bed," Zhuo Feng spat, thinking about this sentence is even more wrong, the two elders looked over, with a clear smile on the corner of their mouths, huh Sound, bury your head and run away.

Seeing such a scene, Bai Da in the front sighed again, thinking back when Bai Juyi and Mei Xiang were just married, they were so affectionate.

Speaking of Mei Xiang, she is quite aloof woman, she got started earlier than Baiju, and she looks exquisite and picturesque, but unfortunately she has a withdrawn personality, except for exchanging some floral experience with her master, in 360 five days a year, I am afraid There are 360 ​​days without expression.

That is to say, when he was with Bai Juyi, he would be slightly smiling.Bai Da was thinking about his own thoughts, and he was still walking. After passing a field ridge the size of a sheep intestine, he saw three houses made of hollow bricks.

The house is a typical northern school building, every brick and tile is used in the actual place, and it is simple and durable.

There is only one floor on the ground, no pavilions, and a blue-gray room. On the right side of the room is an escalator, which can be used as a balcony to post hot peppers or received dried eggplants, corn cobs, etc.

"When the fourth child lived here, he repaired a few fences, but after a long time, the fences rotted. The surrounding area is desolate, and most of the farmers next to them are engaged in breeding. Ducks, sheep, etc. come here to eat. , and gnawed away all the good trees. But it’s strange to say, just the plum tree,” Bai Da pointed to a corner at the back of the house, between the white snow and the gray soil, it was A touch of colorful, Kazuki's red plum.

"It's red again. That Master Mei must have been very good at growing safflower in the past. The narcissus she left for old man Bai Juyi is also red." , Xiao Xian was wrapped in a scarf and placed on her lap.

"What? You raised that narcissus?" Bai Da was also surprised when he heard about it.Neither Bai Juyi nor Mao Dazhu ever mentioned to Xiaoxian that daffodils are considered a taboo in their south gate, just because their master, one of the leading figures in Chinese flower circles, lost in a flower competition. daffodils.Since then, Nanmen's reputation has been discredited, the master died in depression, and the three disciples were forced to go out to make a living.

After Mei wanted to keep the narcissus bulb, Bai Juyi abandoned the flower art for the narcissus, and Mao Dazhu also lost Bai Juyi's craftsmanship, and the company did not manage well.The cause and effect are connected, how can Mao Dazhu not be frightened.

When Xiaoxian untied the flowerpot in his hand, the two beautiful narcissus flowers, which were like fireworks in March, fell into the wind and snow.Bai Da watched, looked at the red of the quilt and the white of the corolla, and sighed endlessly for these two two-color narcissus.

"When I saw these two flowers, I remembered the old fourth and junior sister Mei. People with two personalities of ice and fire walked together regardless of Master's objection. In the end, one disappeared and the other died. But it's okay. , the flowers have been nurtured in your hands, which proves that Bai Laosi has a good vision, and the future of Nanmen must be infinitely bright," Mao Dazhu regained his energy after being quietly dimmed for a while, and praised with a smile Xiao Xian and Zhuo Feng are very talented.

Besides, the red plum standing among the bungalows has also become a wild plum over the years, but compared to the yard overgrown with weeds, the surroundings of the red plum are clean, as if it has been hoeed so-so.

"Not much gossip, this kind of place can only be lived in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, there is no collective heating. If people stand for a long time, they will become ice picks," Mao Dazhu photographed Patting the cold air on the clothes, pointing to the ground in front and behind, "From now on, this place belongs to you. But before that, you only need to pay back the 80 money owed to me by Bai Lao Si, and we will settle the money and money." , I won’t make it difficult for you in the first year, but after you have thought about the use of these houses in detail, you will have to pay back the money little by little.”

"What, this land belongs to us?" Zhuo Feng thought he heard it wrong, and looked in the direction Mao Dazhu pointed at the place, and he could barely make out the boundaries of the land, the fields with fences, east, west, north, south, horizontally and vertically Yes, about [-] acres of land.That's more than [-] mu of land, in such an age when every inch of land is worth every penny.

When Zhuo Feng was at home, she was a resident, but I also heard from the older generation that the ancestors of the family were farmers or something, and they had a few acres of land. It seems that she never dreamed that she would have twenty at once. A few acres of land.

"Hey, look at what I said, it belongs to the little girl holding the narcissus. Isn't she a minor? You are her guardians, right? Before her, this place belongs to you. That's what Bai Laosi told me. But I remember that after one year, I have to start paying back my money. I’m freezing to death, come back after spring and see what this wasteland can be used for,” Mao Dazhu waved his hand, impatiently wanting to go back to the city.
