Reborn Gu Dong

Three years later.

Cloud City.

Every April and May is the most beautiful time of Taohualing, and it is also the most lively time to attract a large number of tourists to come for sightseeing.

Three years ago, the Gujia Village and Wangjia Village in Taohualing were demolished, and the villagers received satisfactory compensation, which was 70 yuan per head, plus the area of ​​the wheat field. At that time, each person could have 100 million yuan.At that time, this news made big news in the local area. A developer came from a remote village and offered a lot of compensation. The villagers hardly objected, but one or two thorns wanted more, and they were almost beaten by the villagers of the two villages first. .

Nothing more than that, the developer said, if they don't demolish it, they will go to other nearby villages.

The villagers have lived here for generations, working hard in the fields every day, and may not be able to save 100 million in a few lifetimes. The offspring of the children are all in the village primary school, junior high school and high school. In the past few years, it is rare to have a famous college student in the village. I don't want my children to pass the university entrance examination and find a decent job. Is it possible that they will work in the fields with them in the future?

Therefore, it took less than a month from the time the developer entered the village to the time of compensation and demolition.On the day of the demolition, a running water mat was set up at the entrance of the village, and the neighboring villages all came to join in the fun, hoping to get a share, and there was a foolish developer who could demolish them for so many.Look at the people in these two villages. They didn’t have a good life before, but now they have moved to the city, live in high-rise buildings, and become city residents.

The villagers in the nearby villages are not to mention envious.

Two years ago, large-scale amusement parks and resorts were built successively. Various items in the playground cater for all ages, and there are various planned themed activities at night. The ticket price is not particularly expensive. The pass is [-] for adults and [-] for minors. Baiba, before it opened, the children in the nearby villages were eagerly waiting for it to open, and there were billboards for Chenxi Playground everywhere on the winding mountain road of the expressway.

On the opening day, celebrities were invited to cut the ribbon, and leaders of all sizes from the city were also present, which was very lively.

The hundreds of acres of rapeseed flowers around the playground and the colorful peach trees reflect each other. Through the small river arch bridge is the Chenxi Holiday Villa. The living environment is quiet, and there are exclusive small western-style buildings. Consumption is much more expensive, the cheapest is three or four thousand a night, with a dedicated butler service.

For ordinary family consumption tourists, it is daunting, so it gave birth to farmhouses and homestays in nearby villages.Whether you are a city tourist or a foreign tourist, most of the playground projects are not good enough to play in one day, and there are more activities at night, so you will choose a clean homestay to stay in. Even if the playground project is over, you can still pick in the surrounding farmland Strawberry grapes or something.

Only two years after its opening, the playground has become more and more perfect, and has become a unique local symbol, which is no worse than foreign brand playgrounds.With Chenxi's presence, the villagers of Taohualing have gained tangible benefits, and the city leaders also attach great importance to this, planning the market, rectifying law and order, beautifying the road and so on.

Today's Taohualing is very different from the poor town three years ago.

"Mom, haven't you arrived yet? It's too far away. I think the few homestays at that time are good and clean." A girl in her [-]th or [-]th year was holding a sun umbrella, and her fair skin was tanned by the heat. His cheeks were flushed, he was wearing a simple T-shirt and denim skirt, and he was wearing a pair of five-centimeter sandals. He was tired and hot, and he spoke with Wu Nong's soft language unique to the south. Even if he complained, he listened. Jiao Didi is not annoying.

The middle-aged mother who was walking in front was wearing sneakers. At this moment, she pushed away the sunglasses on her face, stared at the mobile phone carefully, and smiled and said to her husband and children behind her: "We will be there soon. I made a strategy before I came. , Netizens said that although Donggu Xiaoyuan is far away, it is highly recommended, especially the boss's craftsmanship is very good, and I heard he is still a handsome guy."

The coquettish daughter's eyes lit up, but when she thought of her mother's usual aesthetics, as long as a man without disabilities is handsome, she lay on her father's shoulder lazily, and the middle-aged father smiled and touched his daughter's head. The youngest son said bluntly, "Pick up the bag for your sister."

Sixteen Seven's high school younger brother instantly lost face, and raised the suitcase in his hand as a gesture, but he smiled at his sister obediently, and obediently accepted the small leather bag in her hand.

"Mom, is the Donggu Xiaoyuan you mentioned reliable or not?" The younger brother was also worried.

The middle-aged woman is actually a little uncertain. Anyone who has lived in this yard will specifically mention the information she made on the travel website.

"It should be reliable. You can't spend money to buy so many netizens, right? It's a young boss with excellent craftsmanship. The homestay is clean and decorated with a unique style. I see the photos are really good. Let's go again , I will be there soon, my house is booked, and now I can’t find anything else, the map shows that there are still 300 meters.”

The younger brother muttered: "The comments may be posted by the navy, and the photos may be deceiving!"

Knocked on the forehead by the middle-aged father, "A big man talks so much, hurry up and keep up."

A family of four crossed the cement road in the village and walked up the hillside. The middle-aged mother walked in the front. Turning to the left at the end, she saw the wooden signboard of Donggu Xiaoyuan. She hurriedly said to the children behind, "It's here."

The gate of the small courtyard is two wooden doors, and two red lanterns are hung on the front of the courtyard door. At this time, the wooden door is half-opened, and the sun, which is already past eleven o'clock, is slanting into the courtyard. The square floor of the courtyard is spliced ​​with stone slabs It is paved with green grass protruding from the gaps, and the stone slabs are washed clean. The house is built in the most common concave shape, with two-story long buildings, and there is a long acacia shelf passage on the far left side of the yard. It is built with black wooden strips, and the acacia climbs to the top. It is green and cool when the wind blows.

Near the door is a simple shed, which contains seven or eight bicycles, all of which are for women in the mountains.

Under the long shelf is a long stone table with long wooden stools on both sides.Next to it was a rattan rocking chair and a small wooden horse. The small wooden horse was made round and smooth, and a little boy was sitting on it. The little boy was only about two years old. She wore a cotton coffee-colored handicap jacket, which she could tell had been sewn by her mother herself. The lower body was black and white plaid pants, and she was wearing a pair of tiger-toed cloth shoes. She was sitting obediently astride the wooden horse at the moment.

The family of four stepped into the yard, and the girl holding an umbrella quickly sat down under the acacia shelf to rest, and met the little boy on the wooden horse. Surprise flashed in her eyes, she turned her head and smiled and said to her mother: "Is the boss handsome?" I don't know, I only know that this handsome guy is very handsome."

The middle-aged mother took a closer look, and couldn't help smiling, "It's true, he looks so handsome at such a small size, and he must be a handsome guy when he grows up."

The little boy's appearance is really outstanding. It is rare to see such a heroic and handsome child. His skin is fair, his eyes are black and bright, his eyebrows are thick and shaped, his nose is high, and his mouth is pursed with a serious look. When looking at them, there is still majesty, but the cheeks are full of baby fat, and the flesh is so cute.

Seen by the little boy, the middle-aged mother originally wanted to tease her, but she didn't do it. It's really strange.

"Let's eat mushrooms."

The bamboo curtain of the side room leaning on the acacia shelf was opened, and a middle-aged mother in her 50s came out, holding a wooden plate in her hand, which contained a complete set of children's bowls and chopsticks. She was stunned when she saw the stranger sitting under the acacia tree Then he quickly smiled and said, "Is that right, Ms. Wang? My son went shopping for groceries and should be back soon. Before he left, he told me that he is a family of four. Wait a minute." The main room shouted: "Old Gu, a guest is here."

A man in his fifties came out of the main room in the middle. He had dark skin and deep wrinkles on his face, but he smiled honestly and walked with a slight limp.

These two people are Wang Ping and Gu Yimin.

"Old Gu, you feed the shiitake mushrooms, and I'll greet you." Wang Ping put the tray on the stone table, turned her head and smiled and said to Mr. Wang's family: "The room has been cleaned, and Xiao Liu happened to be on leave for two days. But there are not many customers in the yard, don’t worry, if you need anything, there is a blackboard on the acacia shelf, you can write a message or tell Dongdong, my son, this store belongs to him.”

Mrs. Wang is an outgoing and cheerful person. She often goes out with her husband with backpacks. She is very talkative and asks her son to help carry the luggage. She booked two rooms on the first floor. She lives with her daughter, and her husband and son share one.

Opening the door, there is a chill in the face. The room layout is simple but you can see that the boss is very caring. The sheets and bedding are clean, not the white of the hotel. One is in the style of pastoral florals, and the other is in coffee-colored lattice. The layout of the rooms is the same , near the inner side are beds and cabinets, and the outer large windows are well lit with sofas and small coffee tables.There is a glass jug on the coffee table, which contains sour plum soup.

"Dongdong got it from the refrigerator before he left. It's not very cold. If you want something cold, I'll send you some ice cubes." Wang Ping introduced: "The kitchen and bathroom are opposite, and there is hot water at any time. If you want to make something yourself, you can go to the kitchen and use whatever you want, this place is your own home, you rest first."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said yes with a smile.

As soon as Wang Ping left, Mrs. Wang's son was very upset, and complained: "Mom, the bathroom and toilet are still shared here, which is too inconvenient."

"Yeah, I'm going to be seen wiping my face and putting on makeup in the morning, how strange it is." My daughter sat on the sofa and complained about the inconvenience.

Mrs. Wang likes it very much. She hasn’t lived in such a yard for many years. Netizens didn’t say it’s inconvenient when she booked a room. Now that she hears her children’s complaints, she’s a bit hesitant to change it. She originally came out to play to give Daughter is decompressed.

"Have a sip of sour plum soup first, and we'll talk later." Mr. Wang poured a glass for his wife.

Mrs. Wang took it and said, "Then wait for the boss to come back and see if we can discuss refunding the money. Hey, why are you so drunk? If this is used, the money will not be refunded."

"I've been running all morning, and I can't afford a pot of sour plum soup." Mr. Wang poured himself a glass. He was already feeling thirsty. Here, the sun-baked person immediately sobered up a bit.

Mrs. Wang was drinking, her eyes widened after taking a sip.

"Why is this sour plum soup so delicious?!"

Sitting on the sofa, the siblings didn't believe it, but seeing that their parents had run out of a glass, they quickly poured a glass for themselves. The girl just took a sip, just like her mother, and said in surprise: "It's really delicious!" It has a faint aroma of peach blossoms."

The pot of sour plum soup for a family of four soon bottomed out. Mrs. Wang ordered her son to go to the next room to get the pot. When she opened the door, she heard voices from the yard.When I opened the door, I saw a young guy, about 24 or [-] years old, tall with fair skin, and his hair was cut short and lean. Just now, the well-behaved and silent boy was nestled in the boy's arms, and the boy smiled and kissed him. mouth.

"Is the shiitake mushroom good today?"

The little boy said softly, "Good boy."

"Is that Mrs. Wang? I'm so sorry, I was delayed on the road. I just had some noodles for lunch, so I don't have time to do complicated things." Gu Dong put his son on the ground, walked into Mrs. Wang, and introduced: "I am the owner of the yard. , Gu Dong, just call me Xiao Gu. How is the room? Do you need anything else?"

When Mrs. Wang, who had just discussed about checking out, saw Gu Dong's smiling face, she nodded and said, "It's all good, your sour plum soup is also very delicious."

"Then you rest first, and you can have dinner in half an hour. You can eat at the stone table or in your room." Gu Dong simply said that he didn't disturb the rest of the Wang family, but asked his father to send another pot with ice. Sour plum soup and peach blossom pastry.

In the room, facing her children, Mrs. Wang made a firm decision to live here.

But the daughter of the Wang family thought about the boss in the yard just now, and nodded, thinking that she is really handsome, the sour plum soup here is also delicious, and the trouble of going to the toilet is a little more troublesome, but she can still bear it.

When Gu Yimin delivered the items, the daughter of the Wang family and Mrs. Wang were completely overwhelmed by this yard. The peach blossom cake smelled like a faint peach blossom fragrance, the color was pink, and the skin was crispy when bitten down, and there was still a runny stuffing inside. Red bean and mung bean, both of them are not very sweet and greasy, with the taste of the bean itself, the red bean is slightly softer and sweeter, and the mung bean is more refreshing.

Mr. Wang and his son are very fond of mung bean mouth.

A pot of sour plum soup and a plate of peach blossom cakes completely made the four members of the Wang family unable to hold back their forced words anymore.

in the kitchen.

On the stove, a large casserole with a low heat is cooking the bone broth. It has been simmering on a low heat all morning, and now the soup is white and fragrant.The dough was kneaded by Gu Dong before he left, and it was put aside for an hour. At this moment, the dough is smooth and does not stick to hands, and the color of the dough is slightly yellow. Gu Dong and the noodles used egg yolk and beef bone marrow soup.

He moved quickly with his hands, and with a few simple strokes of a rolling pin, the dough gradually became its original shape, and soon the thickness was moderate, and it was cut into thin strips with a knife.The water in another pot was already boiling, so I threw a handful of fine noodles into it, scratched it twice with long bamboo chopsticks, and without covering the pot, after it boiled, I could pick it up and put it in the cold boiled water that had been prepared before, it was tender and tender. The small green vegetables will be placed in boiling water.

Gu Dong used a bamboo strainer to divide the chilled noodles into large bowls, placed the small green vegetables, and put the stewed beef slices together, and poured white bone broth on top, and the white meat in the large ceramic bowl Thin noodles with light yellow soup, green vegetables and beef with sauce, the color is beautifully matched, and the smell is delicious.

The four members of the Wang family were already hungry. After eating, they came out and sat under the acacia stand to enjoy the shade. The daughter of the Wang family went to the bathroom and came back and said to her parents, "There is a separate room inside. The shower and toilet are separate. There is a dresser that is also wiped clean, not bad.”

While talking, the bamboo curtain was lifted.

Gu Dong put two big bowls of noodles on the tray. Although the bowls were big, the quantity was not much. He put green onion, coriander and Xiaodie on the table, and said, "Everyone, add what you want." Then he brought out two more bowls. .

Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang started to eat first. The noodles were not hot but the thick soup was piping hot. The two blew on the noodles and ate the noodles with chopsticks. Even Mrs. Wang, who never liked noodles, couldn't help but praise the taste.Not to mention Mr. Wang, he was originally from the north, but he came to the south to develop his family and start a business in the south. Decades have passed, and he usually likes to eat noodles, but it is different from this noodle.

Compared with this bowl of noodles, the ones I ate before were too rough.

The siblings stared at their parents eating, even more hungry, almost salivating, smelling the smell.

When Gu Dong brought out the noodles, the two siblings stopped being reserved and polite. They held the big bowl and picked up the thin noodles, taking a mouthful of noodles and soup. Their cheeks were flushed and their mouths were burning, but they still couldn't stop their chopsticks.

"Mom and Dad sit down and eat." Gu Dong made three more portions, took out the pickles that had been marinated before, and sat down on the stone table with the four members of the Wang family to eat.

Shiitake sits on his small chair, the closest to Gu Dong. The handle of the chair is a wood-carved kitten pattern, which is vivid, and Shiitake holds it with his little hand, touching it for a while.This is made by Gu Yimin himself. The mushrooms at home are basically made by Gu Yimin. The wood is smoothed with sandpaper and there will be no burrs. After brushing the varnish and exposing it to the sun for a long time, wash it clean and then use it for the mushrooms. .

"Do you want to eat noodles?" Gu Dong asked while holding a noodle bowl.

Shiitake nodded, and looked eagerly at Gu Dong's chopsticks.

This kid didn't talk much since he was a child, but he was very clingy to Gu Dong. If Gu Dong was working, his eyes would follow Gu Dong back and forth. He didn't cry or make trouble. He talked and walked slower than ordinary kids. , but Gu Dong knows that his son is actually a little slow to react, he is really soft, unlike Donggu, who looks soft and cute, but is actually very smart.

He felt guilty, and was hospitalized with a high fever when he was pregnant with shiitake mushrooms, and he was depressed after returning, but it was precisely because of the existence of shiitake mushrooms that he came out of that difficult time.

Without thinking too much, Gu Dong patted his son's head, picked up the noodles and blew them cold, and fed them to the shiitake mushrooms for dinner.

"Dongdong, I just fed the shiitake mushrooms a bowl of custard and soup, don't overfeed them." Wang Ping was at the side for fear of feeding too much shiitake mushrooms, as long as Dongdong feeds, the shiitake mushrooms can continue to eat even if they are full, In the past, everyone got busy and didn't ask. Gu Dong thought he didn't eat the shiitake mushrooms, so he fed them again. As a result, he had a fever and accumulated food that night.Later, the family got into the habit of feeding shiitake mushrooms with small meals and frequent meals. If Gu Dong would feed them, he would tell him earlier.

Shiitake looked at the noodles anxiously and didn't speak. When Gu Dong brought the chopsticks to his mouth, he slowly opened them and ate carefully.

Gu Dong estimated the amount, and stopped feeding when it was almost done. He touched his son's belly, and said with a smile, "Can I give the rest of the mushrooms to Dad?"

Shiitake nodded slowly, and said softly, "Baba time."

It's two years old and I still can't speak clearly.Gu Dong also took the shiitake mushrooms to Lu Yu's place to check, and everything was fine. Wang Ping said that it is normal for boys to grow slowly when they are young, and it will be fine when they grow up.Gu Dong didn't worry about it anymore, as long as Shiitake's health is fine, it's okay if the pronunciation of the words is not clear.

The four big bowls of the Wang family next to them even drank the soup cleanly.

Seeing this, Gu Dong put down the bowl, and Gu Yimin said first: "Dongdong, you eat, I'll go and order the noodles."

"That's right, you eat yours, and the mushroom will take a nap later, so you have to coax him." Wang Ping didn't let her son be busy.

Before the home was demolished, the two brothers Wang Ping and Gu Yimin ran a very prosperous company. Later, when they heard the news of the demolition, Wang Ping thought about it and did not discuss with her two sons who were studying abroad. Not live?She didn't want to experience any changes, and had to rely on her eldest son to risk his life as an experimenter to make money, and Gu Yimin had no objections.

However, the two are used to living in the village, and they want to buy a house in the city, and they want to wait for their son to marry his wife and discuss with the woman where to buy it, and they are also reluctant to do business with the two brothers, so they rent it in a nearby village away from the university city. up the house.

Unexpectedly, before the summer vacation, the eldest son came back first, lost a lot of weight, with blank eyes, and cried when he entered the door hugging her and Lao Gu.Wang Ping was taken aback. Gu Dong's personality was not like Gu Xi's. The last time she was hospitalized, her eyes were red and she fought against everything behind her back. Wang Ping was terrified when she burst into tears this time. Gu Yimin was also anxious beside him.

But Gu Dong didn't answer any questions and just cried. Tired of crying, he fell asleep for a whole day.The next day I just said I couldn't go to school.

If Gu Dong had said that before, Wang Ping would have been able to beat her with a broom until she went to school, but after the sudden changes at home, and thinking of Gu Dong's broken state when she came back, she felt so sad that she couldn't say it and she couldn't say it. She knew Gu Dong's personality can hide things, he won't say what he doesn't want to say, and he is afraid that his son will do something stupid if he asks urgently, so he just doesn't ask.

Then came the discovery of shiitake mushrooms.

Wang Ping was so angry that she could think of what was going on, her son, don't look prudent, in fact, a stubborn person is also simple and stupid, he must have been cheated, but she didn't ask any questions, and decided to give birth to shiitake mushrooms.

当爹当妈的有时候气急了恨不得揍孩子一顿，可最后还是真疼爱孩子的。

Wang Ping was the same, angry at Gu Dong's stupidity, and wanted to give him a beating, but seeing that his son was energized by the mushrooms, much better than before when he was depressed and lifeless, he agreed.

After Gu Dong gave birth to shiitake mushrooms, it was really different. After checking the terrain, he bought this piece of land and built a yard. Please make it a farmyard. She and Gu Yimin help out during the day and go to the university town to do business at night. She can't let go, and she has regular customers for three years. If it rains or snows, they don't go to the stall, and the customers will send WeChat to ask when they will set up the stall.

Everyone has a spiritual sustenance.

The shiitake mushroom and winter mushroom courtyard belonged to Gu Dong.

Besides the children, Wang Ping and Gu Yimin, this food stall is their business.
