Chapter 9
Meng Zhen saw himself in the mirror and found that he was already in the bathroom.She quickly ran out of the house, came to the courtyard, looked around, and found nothing unusual.She felt a little weird today, first saw an inexplicable lotus pond, and then "dreamed" a strange small courtyard.Could it be daydreaming, but it is too real.

"Anyone at home?"

There was a knock on the door outside, and during the conversation, the visitor had already opened the door and walked into the yard.

"Someone, who is it!" Meng Zhen came back to his senses, heard the voice and greeted him.

The person who came was a woman in her 40s, wearing a red plaid jacket and dark gray trousers, with short hair, and the skin on her face was rough and tanned due to long-term labor.She called the door and walked in, apparently familiar with this place.

"Where are you at home?!" She leaned her hoe against the door, looking around, her gaze would fall on Meng Zhen who was walking over.

"You are?" Meng Zhen has never seen her before, so he doesn't know who this is?It looked like she had just come back from the fields, and there was a lot of loess on her cloth shoes.

"Hey, you just moved here, right? I live behind you, your neighbor. Miss, I heard that you are Uncle Qingyu's niece? Will you live in our Zhuangzi from now on?"

"Yes, I call him Uncle, and I'm Meng Zhen, Auntie, what do you call him?"

Meng Zhen didn't recognize her at all when he saw her, he looked around, but he followed her like a guest.

"Oh, what's your name? My family's family name is also Meng, and the second eldest in the family. The juniors in the village call him the second uncle, and call me the second aunt. My daughter, since you are also from the Meng family, if you don't mind , also call me Second Aunt."

Second Aunt Meng spoke very quickly, and from her demeanor and tone, one could tell that she was a straightforward person.

"You just came here today, when will you move?" After a few words, the second aunt walked into the living room and asked while looking at the empty house.

"I'll come over today to measure the house first, and I'll move in after a little tidying up."

"It's going to be renovated, have you found a master yet?"

"Not yet, I'm ready to go back to the city to look for it. Is there any decoration in our village?" Meng Zhen asked casually. When she first entered the village, she found that there were several houses in the village that were very well built. It is grand, with two-story buildings and three-story buildings. It is estimated that the interior has also been renovated.

"Yes, isn't there an old pagoda tree on Zhongjie Street? The third master Wang who lives next to the old pagoda tree is an old carpenter. If there is such a thing in the village, he is always called to."

"I don't make furniture, I just install a cabinet and lay the floor. Second aunt, you see, I just came here, and the house hasn't been tidied up, and there is no place to sit. Why don't we sit in the yard .”

Meng Zhen felt that it was impolite for people to chat standing up, so he asked Second Aunt Meng to sit down at Jijing.

"Don't sit down, I'll go home after I tell you a few words. Three generations of Wang Sanye's family have been carpenters, and the craftsmanship passed down from their ancestors has now been passed on to their sons. But today's young people don't like the furniture they make. So Mr. Wang's son went to the city to do renovations, and now he has a dozen or so workers. So if you want to install a house, just go to them. The people in his village use honest materials, and the prices are not high. "

"That's great, I'll ask in the afternoon. Thank you, Second Aunt!"

Meng Zhen is also a lazy person, if there is a solution that can be solved nearby, she is not willing to work on it by herself.

"Look at the girls in your city who are polite. Our big girl is going to college in Sichuan, and she is just like you. Thank you every now and then. Goodbye or something. They live back and forth. You are welcome! Yo, I It's time to cook, it's noon. Girl, have you eaten yet, let's eat at home with Second Aunt!"

Second Aunt Meng looked at the sun in the yard, and walked outside while talking.

Meng Zhen also followed her to send her out: "No, thank you, I still have some things to fix, and I'll go back to the city when I'm done. You go to work first, and when I tidy up the house, you can come and play at home!" "

"Okay, you should be busy first. If you need to move, call me later. Your second uncle will be back in a while. You can't do hard work as a girl."

Second Aunt Meng took the hoe, greeted Meng Zhen and rushed home.

"Hey, good! You go slowly!"

Seeing her walking away, Meng Zhen closed the door, turned and went back to the bathroom.The scene just now is definitely not a dream, there must be something weird.She carefully looked at every corner of the bathroom, but nothing changed, what's going on?She stood in front of the mirror and thought hard, and suddenly found in the mirror that there was a circle of red mist around the jade bracelet in her hand.

He lowered his head and looked at the bracelet on his left wrist.This jade bracelet was left to her by her mother, and it was originally a pair.It is said that grandma's mother left it for grandma, and grandma gave one bracelet to mother and one to aunt.Later, her mother died in a car accident, and the bracelet became the only thing she left for herself.She has carried it with her from that day until now.Since when did it become like this, Meng Zhen took it off hesitantly, and the red mist surrounded the jade bracelet like a burning flame.She tried to touch the red mist with her hands, but she didn't feel anything.After looking at it for a long time, I didn't understand what was going on. At this time, my stomach started to rebel. Forget it, don't think about it, put the bracelet back on, and go to the small restaurant in the village to eat.There are still a lot of things waiting for this afternoon, let's think about it later, anyway, the red mist doesn't hurt anyone.

I went to a small restaurant to eat some dumplings, and stopped by the third master Wang's house that Aunt Meng said. It happened that the old man was at home, so Meng Zhen explained his situation clearly.The fact that she came to live in Zhouwangzhuang is probably considered news in this small villa. The villagers have been discussing her for the past two days.After all, she was also the first person to give up her urban household registration and come here to work as a farmer, and she is still a 30-year-old girl.You must know that in this place, women of her age have children who have to go to school, so various speculations are circulating in Zhuangzi.

Third Master Wang should have heard of her too, knowing that she will be from the village in the future, so he readily agreed.And there is no need to buy additional shelves, the old man is a carpenter in the first place, after Meng Zhen told him the plan he envisioned, Mr. Wang said that he also made the shelves for her, ensuring that the quality is much better than those bought from outside.

As for the details of the interior decoration, she can directly talk to Mr. Wang's son. The old man copied his son's mobile phone number to Meng Zhen and said that he can start work after confirming it.

After leaving Third Master Wang's house, Meng Zhen returned to his small courtyard.Looking at the yard in front of her, she couldn't help but think of that weird scene again: red land, black land, quaint wooden houses and clear spring water.This scene is too real, it doesn't look like a dream at all, and there is no one who dreams in broad daylight.

Look, this is a yellow land, square and square, with black and red beside it, small wooden houses in the distance, and big trees? ?Meng Zhen realized that after thinking about it, she came to this place again, yes, it is here, three pieces of land with different colors, wooden houses and springs.She squatted down on the edge of the ground, grabbed a handful of red clay, and then thought about going back.The scene changed instantly, and now it was back to the small courtyard.She let go of her hand, and the red soil she was holding was glowing brightly in the sun.Not a dream!

Meng Zhen closed the door, ran back to the bedroom, thinking about the wooden house, and re-entered this strange space.come out!Back to the bedroom again.Like an addiction, she goes in, comes out, goes in again...

If anyone saw her like this, they would think they saw a ghost, a big living person suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and suddenly appeared again.She went back and forth like a child who got a new toy, experimenting with joy.

After experimenting N times, Meng Zhen confirmed that she was bought one and got one free, hehe, buy one yard and get one free, and it was still hidden.This place is so wonderful, it is called Neverland.She sat beside the wooden house, thinking cheerfully.The three plots of land in front of me are empty, too wasteful, will things grow normally if planted here?Thinking of the seeds she just bought today, she came out again and brought in the bucket, shovel and gourd ladle to try first.

Although she has never won the land, she has also watched it on TV. She opened a bag of seeds, which seemed to be tomatoes. Since they are red, they should be planted in the red soil.

Dig a hole, put a seed in it, cover it with soil, dig another hole after a short distance, put the seeds in... After planting the small bag of seeds, I found that even one row was not full, and I bought fewer seeds!Meng Zhen took another bag, no matter what kind of seeds they were, and planted them one by one.I planted red soil and then planted it on black soil. After planting all the seeds I bought, I found that the yellow soil was still empty.

She remembered that there were still sprouting vegetables in the yard, so she might as well move some over.So he came out with a bucket, dug the seedlings and the soil together, put them in the bucket, and when the bucket was full, he rushed into the manor and planted the vegetable seedlings in the yellow soil.After all the plants were full, she scooped the water from the spring pool into the bucket with a gourd ladle and started watering.At first, she was worried that the water in such a small pool would be drained, but later she found out that the spring water would still come out and fill the pool after she took a bucket.Seeing this situation, she was impolite, bucket after bucket, until all the ground was watered.Looking at the irrigated land, Meng Zhen sat down by the spring tiredly.I was so excited just now that I didn't even feel tired. Now that I'm done with work, I feel back pain.Alas, it is really hard work!
The manor is real, so is the lotus pond real? !This thought flashed through his mind, and Meng Zhen didn't care about being tired, so he got up and came out of the manor, and ran all the way to the edge of his field.The lotus pond she saw before was between her wheat field and the roots of the mountain, but now it looks like a wasteland?Meng Zhen ran over excitedly, but was disappointed to find that the lotus pond was like a mirage and never appeared again.

By the way, it's a wasteland now, she can contract it to dig a lotus pond.Thinking of this, Meng Zhen hurried to the village committee to find village head Meng.
