Things about village flowers

When Uncle Zhao and I left the rockery garden and walked to the gate of the county committee, we happened to meet my grandfather turning into the gate of the county committee with a cigarette bag and a pot in his mouth.

"Where did grandpa go for a walk?"I stepped forward and asked

"He didn’t go anywhere, just wandered around."Grandpa pointed back with his pipe rod and said

"Uncle, why are you coming back and not going around anymore?"Uncle Zhao asked

"I’m tired, thirsty, and go home to rest. Alas, this county is so big that it can’t be turned around in an instant!"Grandpa waved his hand and walked in, then turned around and asked,"Are you two still going around? It's getting late"

"Hey," Uncle Zhao pulled my arm and said,"Sifang, why don't we go back too? We've been out for an hour."

I looked at my watch. It was just half past four, which is still early. If I go back now, Duan Lili must not have left yet. Let's postpone it for a while.

"Haha, grandpa, you go back first. Uncle Zhao and I will go out for a while and then go back."I hugged Grandpa's arm and urged him to go back. Then without saying a word, I grabbed Uncle Zhao's arm and walked out the door. At this time, I had to be more decisive and not to be sloppy.

After I went out, I stayed outside more often to suit his liking. After playing for a while, I took Uncle Zhao and walked east along Dongxi Street for about a mile to the county Revolutionary Committee compound. This is where the county government office used to be. There are several old buildings intact, including the lobby, the second floor, and the courtyard. The courtyard where the Tang and County magistrates work and live has antique buildings that are grand and elegant.

These old buildings are not idle. They are all used, or used for conference venues, offices and accommodations. This is the best. If you are not afraid of living in the house, you are afraid of not having it. It’s so popular. This is the best way to protect old buildings.

After wandering around the old county government office for almost an hour, we went to Dongguan, which is separated by a wall. There are many old houses here, just like being in an ancient city. Uncle Zhao was particularly energetic. Unconsciously, I stepped on the three-hole masonry arch bridge. The bridge has a history of nearly three hundred years. Because couples often came here in the past, it is commonly known as the Love Bridge. Uncle Zhao has been here before, so as soon as he stepped on the bridge, he I was leaning on the brick wall beside the bridge, overlooking the crystal clear gurgling water under the bridge, and asked me if I had been to this bridge with Ling Liping. I was confused by the question, and I didn’t know how to answer. Don’t tell me, He was indeed right. Ling Liping and I have actually been to this bridge, more than once. When I went to Dongguan Wet Market to buy vegetables with her, we would walk or pass on the bridge intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes I would I really want to feel the romance of the ancients here, and I can see that Ling Liping is also the same. She seems to want to enjoy the joy of the ancients.

Seeing that I didn’t respond for a long time, Uncle Zhao smiled and didn’t ask any more questions, then lit a bag of cigarettes and faced the bridge. I took a long puff of a cigarette, and while smoking, I seemed to be talking to myself or to me. Tell me, why did young people in the past have to go to this small broken bridge to fall in love? There was no cover, people were coming and going, in broad daylight, it was inconvenient to give me a hug or a kiss.

I burst out laughing after hearing this

"Don't laugh, seriously!"Uncle Zhao patted my back and said,"Normally, you have to go to uninhabited places, such as groves, cornfields, or mountain nooks."Then he shook his head and sighed,"Oh~~ I don't understand, I don't understand!"

I laughed even harder after hearing this, and before I could stop laughing, I asked,"Hey, uncle, hey, where did you fall in love back then?"

"Tsk~~it depends on what you ask!"Uncle Zhao patted my back again and said,"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've never been in love at all. You don't know what love is. I only met my partner seriously on the wedding day. It’s your aunt, we can say we got married first and then fell in love! Hahaha......"After saying that, Uncle Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he was going crazy, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

I quickly poked his arm to tell him to stop laughing. Everyone was watching, so he looked around and then stopped laughing.

It can be seen that Uncle Zhao's"post-love" is also very happy. No wonder, his wife (wife) was also very beautiful in the past. In today's terms, she can be called a village beauty, and she is virtuous and capable.

We stayed on the Love Bridge for half an hour. When we saw that it was getting late, we left and headed back. After leaving the Love Bridge, Uncle Zhao kept looking back, maybe he was paying attention to whether there were people in love on the bridge. Do you think, is it possible? In broad daylight, there should be some at night.

This time I came to Love Bridge, it reminded me that I will really take Ling Liping to walk on the bridge more often in the future.
