Chapter 544 Villages in the depths of the mountains
Pass a chapter first, and update the rest in the evening. Now I'm going to pay a New Year call. I guess it will be a little late, hehe,,,,,
Soon it was the May Day holiday. Yu Fan was considering whether to take this opportunity to go back to Yunjing and accompany Lin Ning, but before he could make a decision, Xu Hong's phone call was already made. The little girl looked a little awkward on the phone. She hesitated for a long time before she asked in a whisper. "Honey, do you have time for the May Day holiday?"
Yu Fan was stunned and smiled and said, "What's the matter? What's the matter with you?" Xu Hong said hesitantly, "I, my brother is getting married on May 1st. I want you to accompany me back. Do you have time?" Yu Fan heard a moment of silence, and Xu Hong hurriedly said, "If I don't have time, I can go back by myself." With a sigh, Yu Fan whispered, "Silly girl, how can I not go? Not to mention that this is the first time you begged me to do something, or I should also go to see our parents." Xu Hong was surprised and shouted, "Really, husband, you are so kind, uh-huh." After saying that, he kissed Yu Fan happily on the other end of the phone,
Feeling the excitement of the little girl, Yu Fan felt guilty. This was the first time that the little girl begged her for such a thing. She gave birth to her daughter, but she didn't even see her parents once. This doesn't make sense. Thinking of the little girl, Yu Fan naturally thought of the other two girls and followed her. They are almost doomed to see each other for the rest of their lives. To them, this is very unfair, but the current situation of several people is impossible for anyone to leave anyone. The only thing Yu Fan can do for them is to try his best to compensate them in other aspects.
Speaking of compensation, Yu Fan can't help but think of Liu Li, who is still in Zhongnan Province. How should he compensate her? This is a very headache. Now Liu Li's side is taken care of by Chu Qin, who is also in Zhongnan Province. In the telephone contact with Chu Qin, Yu Fan still learned some information. Liu Li once returned to Lucao. I went to Tan Town, but I came back soon. Now I'm living in a villa in Zhongnan Province with Chu Qin.
Chu Qin has also inquired about Yu Fan. According to Chu Qin's speculation, it is better to wait for a period of time for the two to meet, but Chu Qin was very optimistic. She teased Yu Fan on the phone and said, "It seems that there will be a new member in our family soon." Yu Fan, the sourness in his words, can't pretend not to hear it, but just a dry cough with a silly smile, which makes Chu Qin giggle on the other end of the phone,
Xu Hong's hometown is also in Zhongnan Province, but it is in a remote mountainous area of Zhongnan Province. It was precisely because she went home with her this time that Yu Fan knew that the little girl was originally a Tujia, which made Yu Fan feel ashamed. He cared too little about them, but the little girl didn't care about this, Yu It's the happiest thing for her to go home with her to tell her, and other things become dispensable to her,
The road in the mountainous area is very difficult, and it is impossible for the car to drive in at all. The two of them walked all the way and crossed the mountains, which made Yu Fan tired. However, at this time, at the turn of spring and summer, the beautiful scenery along the way made them a little happy. The three-hour mountain road made the two walk through with laughter. In the evening, the two finally arrived at Xu Hong's hometown,
There are 20 or 30 families in the village-like cottage. Because it is in the depths of the mountains, there is no electricity here, let alone the use of household appliances and other things. The only thing that can be used is the flashlight. For the current place in China, Yu Anyone who arrives in shock, in his opinion, Dapu County is the most backward place he has ever seen, but compared with here, the backwardness of Dapu County is a developed area,
According to Xu Hong, of course, our ancestors have lived here for generations, and they already have a deep affection for this place. Even if the political axe once asked them to move out of the mountain, after everyone discussed, they still stayed here in the end. For this point, Yu Fan could only sigh secretly.
The Chinese people's attachment to their homeland has existed since ancient times. The return of fallen leaves is a true portrayal of the Chinese people's hard-giving homeland. Even if they are about to go far away, they hope to bring a handful of the soil of their hometown. Even the people in the cottages finally decide to stay in the mountains. Don't they know that such closure will only make their lives more and more difficult? I'm afraid not. Although the mountain people are simple, no one is stupid. Otherwise, they would not have been able to produce such a college student as Xu Hong under such difficult conditions. Yu Fan already felt this when he saw Xu Hong's parents and relatives.
In the short wooden buildings, Xu Hong's two-story building made of masonry is particularly dazzling, and her home is also the only place with electricity in the village. A diesel-powered generator, the light is particularly dazzling in this dark village, which also makes most of the villagers in the village gather here.
Although the mountain village is closed, some migrant workers still bring in some things outside. The doors and windows of the small building are covered with big happy words, and some traditional festive things are also hanging everywhere in the house. Here, tradition and now seem to be slowly blending,
As a parent and family, Xu Hong's mother was naturally very happy for her daughter's return home. Xu Hong's mother hugged her daughter and cried bitterly on the spot, muttering something that Yu Fan couldn't understand. Xu Hong, a little girl, cried like a tearful person, which made Yu Fan feel sad.
When introducing Yu Fan, he only said that he was Xu Hong's friend outside. This was discussed by several people before he came here. It was for the sake of Yu Fan's identity. After all, it's better to be careful about this kind of thing. Even Xu Hong's daughter Yu Hong, who originally wanted to take back, finally kept it at home.
For foreign guests, Xu Hong's parents let Yu Fan fully feel the simplicity of the mountain people. The best room was given to Yu Fan to live in, and the best food was soon served, but they themselves wanted to lay the floor in the hall. Yu Fan was so scared that he shook his hand repeatedly to refuse, letting his mother-in-law and father-in-law play the floor. Yu Fan couldn't do it. At least, under the insistence of Yu Fan, Yu Fan finally resisted the good thing on the floor. Looking at the apologetic eyes of the two old people, Yu Fan was moved in his heart.
People say that it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar, but it's almost impossible to see this kind of thing in today's cities. Living in a small frame made of reinforced concrete, it's just through a door, and the neighbors don't come and go, let alone how warm it is to treat a first-time guest. Our civilization Up to now, some things seem to be gradually degenerating. Urban progress allows us to enjoy the comfort brought by modern life, but also slowly harden the softest depths of our hearts. Is this the price of our civilization to pay now?
Knowing that Yu Fan was wronged, Xu Hong, a silly girl, ran over secretly in the middle of the night, "Honey, are you still used to it? Why don't I come and sleep with you?" After saying that, he was about to drill into the quilt. Yu Fan was so scared that he quickly whispered, "My little aunt, I don't want to look around us with a bunch of strange eyes. You'd better go back to bed quickly."
Hooking Yu Fan's neck, the little girl said a little aggrievedly, "I'm afraid you're not used to it." With a smile, Yu Fan patted the little girl's back and said, "Silly girl, it's not that I didn't hit the floor when I was at home before. In fact, I want to thank you for bringing me back. The air here is good and the environment is beautiful. You must take me around tomorrow morning. Now go back to sleep quickly and don't wake everyone up. " She looked at Yu Fan with some resentment. The little girl reluctantly hugged Yu Fan and acted coquettishly. Then she slowly turned back to her room to sleep, so that Yu Fan couldn't help shaking her head and smiled bitterly.
When it was slightly bright, Yu Fan naturally woke up. At this time, Yu Fan's parents and some people who were busy preparing for the wedding also got up slowly. The little girl also took Yu Fan around to look around after washing on time. She could get up so early, and she was so energetic, and The little girl's habit of staying in bed in the past was completely different, which surprised Yu Fan, but when she thought that today was the day when the little girl's younger brother got married, she was relieved for a while.
The degree of fresh air in the morning in the mountains made Yu Fan couldn't help taking two mouthfuls greedily. Compared with the morning in the city, the morning here is a little like a paradise. The birds singing can be heard everywhere around. When the sun slowly rises, the first ray of sunshine shines on Yu Fan, the warm feeling. I felt that he couldn't help trembling,
This is a paradise of plants. Most of them are all kinds of colorful flowers and trees that Yu Fan can't name. Xu Hong knows a lot and keeps introducing them to Yu Fan. Some of them are locals who call them in dialects. Xu Hong also tries to tell him what Yu Fan understands, so that Yu Fan has grown a lot. The knowledge of
He pointed to the hillside in the distance and looked at a crumbling wooden house. Yu Fan asked, "Where is it? Why did I just see a lot of children walking there?" Xu Hong looked at it and said, "There, it's a school in our village. I studied there when I was a child."
Nodding, Yu Fan sighed and said, "Let's go and have a look." After saying that, he pulled Xu Hong to the hillside in the distance. Yu Fan was actually not surprised by the school in Lianshanzhai. Now he just wants to feel what this school looks like.
