I live in the countryside

Chapter 7 Wuxi Town Flowers

Qingxi Village is one of the small villages in the south of the country and one of the seven villages under the jurisdiction of Wuxi Town, Chaoyang County, Guangxi Province.

The common surname in the village is Qiao, and I don’t know why the ancestors chose this beautiful place to settle down hundreds of years ago. The whole village is hidden among rocky mountains. The only road from the town to Chaoyang County.

This road divides Wuxi Town into two areas. The east side is dominated by earthen ridges, where villagers live at the foot of the mountain to form villages, and the west is dominated by stone mountains, such as Qingxi Village. There are two completely different landscapes.

The distance from Qingxi Village to the town is also six to seven kilometers. The only road is a gravel road that was paved the year before last. People in the village go to the town by either riding motorcycles, electric cars, or walking to the side of the county road to stop horse-drawn carriages. Or you can only walk.

Qiao Churan was riding an electric bike, and in the back seat was Qiao Yanhua, a girl from the Qiao family who was going to the town market. She was Sanbo's youngest daughter. She was two years younger than her. She used to work in Guangzhou, but the factory closed down a while ago. , had to return home.

After driving for a short distance, Qiao Yanhua thought that Qiao Churan was driving slowly and wanted to drive by herself, but Qiao Churan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't stop her.

Although the road was bumpy, I was finally able to appreciate the small village that I hadn't seen for a year.

To the east of the village is the large field of Qingxi Village.

Now it is the end of December, after the harvest of autumn rice, most of the fields are covered with yellow mud, and some vegetables are planted in some fields, such as lettuce, cabbage, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, spinach, garlic, celery and so on. A piece of green.

These dishes are basically not eaten by themselves, but are sold by the villagers in the town to subsidize their families.

A clear river flows from the north to the south of the village, running through the whole village. The banks of the river are lush with green bamboos, creating an idyllic scenery.

The land in Qingxi Village basically depends on the Qingxi River for water supply.

She took a deep breath of the natural fresh air with the fragrance of earth, and couldn't help sighing in her heart: "It's better to be at home."

Qiao Yanhua didn't take it seriously: "What's good at home, there is nothing in the backcountry, if I can't come back, I will never come back to this ghostly place."

Qiao Churan laughed, "Then you work hard outside, earn money to buy a house and settle down."

Qiao Yanhua said: "Ideals are beautiful, but reality doesn't allow it. A part-time worker like me isn't as stable and secure as you are, so I'm going to lose my job."

Qiao Churan said: "You are still young, you have a chance."

Qiao Yanhua felt irritable when she thought about the marriage urging at home, "It's not that simple, sister Ranran, I really envy you."

"I wish I had studied more seriously before, hey!"

Qiao Churan laughed, and was speechless for a while, and Qiao Yanhua simply complained, "But to be honest, although our village is so poor that no bird can shit, the scenery is really beautiful."

This is a karst landform, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the peaks are like a screen. In the west of the village is a continuous stretch of stone peaks. Coming to the east, the land is flat and open, and several peaks stand upright. The scenery is very beautiful.

There are a few paddy fields that are full of cauliflower. The villagers took the leftover cauliflower seeds and sprinkled them casually, which can be used as fertilizer for the spring planting in the coming year.

Although it is not a piece, but from a distance, one piece is a large acre, which is pretty good.

Qiao Churan has been to many places since she went to the city to study in high school, and went to the north in college. She has seen the famous mountains and rivers in the north, and the beautiful peaks and waters in the south. Now she has to sigh: "I don't think there is any A place comparable to the natural beauty of Qingxi Village, our hometown."

When they arrived in the town and said goodbye to Qiao Yanhua, Qiao Churan immediately went to the bank to transfer the money to Aunt Qiao.

Today is the fair day in Wuxi Town, there are a bit too many people, and the villagers have no sense of queuing.

Qiao Churan looked at the number on her hand and sighed.

She has a young girl named Yan Xiaoyu, who works in a bank, but she hasn't seen anyone now, and she is probably busy with other things.

Qiao Churan sat down with peace of mind, her eyes were attracted by the bookshelf next to the rest chair.

There is a whole row of brochures on the shelf, all of which are brochures about financial literacy and financial poverty alleviation.

With a thought in mind, Qiao Churan took one of the booklets on poverty alleviation to read.

It is about some policies to support rural development, such as preferential loan policies for scientific planting or scientific breeding, cooperation in the sale of agricultural products, etc., but this book is here, and it seems that few people have read it.

Qiao Churan took one of them, flipped through it, and when she finished reading it, she finally called her number.

The transfer was very fast, and it passed away in no time. Qiao Churan asked one more question: "Is there any policy on this booklet?"

After those brochures were issued, few even the staff members read them. What kind of agricultural loans? Wuxi Town is so poor, everyone is busy with their own one-acre three-point land, where there is spare money to invest, in case the investment fails Miserable, so no one has ever asked this.

The staff was impatient and returned the ID card to Qiao Churan: "You can see for yourself, why, do you want a loan?"

There are still people waiting in line behind, Qiao Churan smiled: "No."

A chubby lady next to her has already squeezed over, put her passbook through the window, and said loudly in local dialect: "I'll withdraw money!"

The staff loudly maintained order: "Line in line!"

Qiao Churan was pushed aside, couldn't stand firmly, staggered, subconsciously reached out to grab something, and unexpectedly grabbed an arm.

He was a tall man in a smoky gray shirt.

The other party held her arm: "be careful."

Qiao Churan was a university student in Beicheng, so she could recognize the other party's northern accent as soon as she heard it. The words are correct and round, which is very different from the southern accent.

This person's voice is pleasant, clear and moist like warm wind.

Qiao Churan subconsciously looked up.

The first impression was that she was so tall that she only reached the shoulder of the other party.

The second feeling is that it's... pretty handsome.

No, it is very handsome!
He has a completely different appearance from the men in the south. He is well-defined, with thin-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, covering those overly good-looking eyes, constricting the menacing light, and making a slightly aloof and honest look. The face gives people a gentle and gentle feeling.

Especially those eyes, which cannot be caught by the lenses, are clearly as deep as night stars, and from the suddenly widened expression, they feel leisurely like distant mountains.

A word popped out of Qiao Churan's mind suddenly, the mist is vast, like a distant mountain.

She saw it in these eyes.

"Are you okay?" The other party's gentle voice sounded from above his head, and Qiao Churan realized that he had stared at the other party for too long as a nympho.

At this time, the other party was looking at her warmly, as if he didn't take her offense very seriously.

Only then did Qiao Churan realize that she was holding on to the other person's arm, and quickly let go, but the man had already taken a few steps to a place with few people nearby.

"Sorry, I'm fine, thank you."

Qin Muzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and seeing the girl's eyes lowered, the surprise in her eyes turned into complexity.

She really doesn't know herself.

He didn't expect that he would really see her here.

Qiao Churan looked up again, and she had returned to normal. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a surprised voice a few steps away: "Ranran!"

She heard the sound and looked over, and saw Yan Xiaoyu in overalls looking at her in surprise, Qiao Churan screamed, and rushed to hug her good sister: "Xiaoyu! I miss me!"

Qin Muzhou stood where he was, watching the two girls embrace each other, first smiled with curved lips, and then frowned.

He looked at the hand that was holding Qiao Churan, and then looked over there, Qiao Churan had been pulled into a corner by Yan Xiaoyu.

"When did you come back, why don't I know!" Yan Xiaoyu was excited.

"I came back yesterday. I was just wondering if I could bump into you."

Yan Xiaoyu was still in the excitement, suddenly thought of something, looked outside, Qin Muzhou was nowhere to be seen, "Hey, what happened to you just now, why are you together with Zhenhua from Wuxi Town?"

Qiao Churan swallowed her saliva, and looked at the little sister with a complicated expression: "Zhen, Zhenhua?"

　Qin Muzhou: (not kindly) Zhenhua?
　　Ranran: Some people are so beautiful that they turn all living beings upside down...

　　Qin Muzhou: (laughs) Let’s suppress flowers.
