Datang beauty walk

Qiqing and Danniang agreed to go to their hometown in Luoyang, and they headed east.Sometimes when they are tired from walking, they will rent an ox cart to carry them on a walk. The boundless scenery along the way is too beautiful to behold.

Walking to the rural plains, there are thousands of hectares of green and fertile fields on both sides of the road, which can't be seen at a glance. In the fields, there are strong farmers with children, and their yellow and black cattle are working in the fields.

There are more, wider and longer official roads than before, and some of them lead directly to the village.Sometimes Qiqing and the others would rest in the green shade at the foot of the mountain after they had climbed a high mountain. The green mountains and green water made them linger and stop, going back and forth.

The two walked forward like this, appreciating the passing scenery without hesitation.

The two of them dressed lightly and walked slowly all the way around the mountains and rivers. On this day, they finally arrived at the small village in the northern suburbs outside Luoyang City—the place where they used to live.

Here, it is no longer what it used to be. There are newly built houses in Qixian Village, from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. The earthen walls and gray tiles in front of them are all new.Those small trees in the past have now grown into old trees with thick branches.

When they came to the old site where they lived, they saw that a brand new house had been built on the old foundation of their house that had been burned down, and the red "Xi" character was still pasted on the gate.

Qiqing and Danniang stood in front of the door, looking at the new door.

"Who built this house? Qiqing, is it Uncle Lu?"

Qi Qing looked at the facade and shook his head.

"Who are you looking for?"

An old man bent over from their right side, Qiqing and Danniang turned around and felt familiar.

"Are you Uncle Fan?" Qi Qing asked.

"Hello, Uncle Fan!" Tan Niang also said.

Old Man Fan narrowed his dim eyes and asked:

"Who are you?"

"Old man, I'm Qiqing. It turns out that this is the daughter of the Lu family. This is Danniang. Do you remember?"

"Qiqing? Qiqing...the name sounds familiar, let me think about it..." Old Man Fan scratched his head and thought.

"The old man is getting old and can't remember clearly, let's find someone else to ask!" Dan Niang said.

"Alright."

"Qiqing, you are Lu Xiaotian's daughter Qiqing, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Fan, have you met my father?"

"No, no! Your family, your father, since I left more than 20 years ago, I haven't seen him again, and I haven't heard from him. Didn't you ask someone to inquire about your father and father a few times? Any news about Danniang? However, I later heard from people in the village that someone came to inquire about the situation of your father and daughter. I don’t know who it is, cough!” Old Man Fan sighed and asked, “You are here this time...?”

"We came back to live here in the future. Do you know who built this house?" Qi Qing asked.

"Oh, that's right, let's go, go back to my house first, and I'll tell you slowly."

Uncle Fan called Qiqing and Danniang to his home.

Qiqing saw that his house was no longer the old one. Although it was still a few thatched houses, it was newly built, brighter and tidier than the previous ones.He also kept several domestic animals.There are still grains piled up to dry in the courtyard, so it can be said that the old man's living conditions are much better than before.

"Uncle Fan, can you take care of these cows and chickens at home by yourself?" Qi Qing asked.

"Although I am almost eighty this year, I still have strength to raise them! Moreover, in recent years, people in the village have seen that I am getting old, and they have helped me with some work. I can't let people help me for nothing. , You see, those two cows, one is mine, and the other is raised by me for others. When people need it, just drive it to the field. Come, drink some water..."

They were sitting in the yard, and Old Man Fan sat down on a small stool beside them.

"Qiqing, where have you been all these years?"

Qi Qing briefly told Uncle Fan about his whereabouts these years, and after listening, Uncle Fan said:

"It's not easy! It's good for you to come back this time, but now your home has been built by someone else, and you want to get it back, which is a little troublesome."

"Old man, who built that house and who lives there?" Qi Qing asked.

"I'm afraid you don't know the owner of this house now. Do you remember the 'Black Buddha' in our village?"

Qi Qing nodded:

"Isn't this 'Black Buddha' the one with the most difficult life in our village?"

"Yes, this house was built by his son. This big black Buddha, your father helped him at the beginning. There have been no wars in the past few years, and the weather has been smooth. Everyone's hard work has been reaped. The life of the people in our village is getting better and better. Get better.

With the improvement of everyone's life, the number of people and household registration in the village has also increased. In this way, the previous houses and yards are not enough. This black Buddha used to be poor, but he is hardworking. The three sons soon grew up and got married and each had children. How could a dozen people live in his house?Because your home has been unoccupied for a long time, this black Buddha has obtained the consent of the villagers and let them take down your home and fields. His third son built a new house in your place, which is also true. It has only been built and lived in for five years! "

"Then is his family rich now?" Qi Qing asked again.

"Wealth can't be said to be rich. One year's tax is just enough to fill his family's stomach. They are also loyal people. If you want to go back to your hometown, I will find the old people and patriarchs in the village. Let's go together Discuss and discuss. Although they built the house, the homestead is yours, and it is right to ask him to pay you back a little money for the homestead. If his family does not agree, you will have to sue the officials and go to court."

After Qiqing finished listening, she stood up and said:

"Old Man Fan, thank you very much!—Tanniang, let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"We're going to find another place to live."

"Why, you don't care about the homestead?"

"It's not easy for the Black Buddha's family to have today. Why should I fight for the homestead with them?" Qi Qing took out a little bit of silver and handed it over: "Old Man Fan, you can use this bit of silver." Bar!"

"Hey, no need! I have it!" Uncle Fan refused to answer, "Qiqing, you are still the same as your father, but where can you go?"

"We'll find a place to live."

Qiqing and Danniang walked out of the gate, and Uncle Fan walked them out of his house with a cane.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Fan, Qiqing and Danniang walked out of Qixian Village to see that it was getting late, so they went to the town to find an inn to stay.

In the hotel room, Tanniang sat on the side of the bed and unpacked their bags and sorted out the contents. She opened a small package, glanced at it, and said:

"Qiqing, we don't have much money left, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in an inn in the future!"

Qiqing was changing clothes, when she heard what Danniang said, she stopped her hands and thought for a while, then said:

"If we can't afford to live in an inn, we will have to beg for a living in the future!"

Dan Niang sighed and said:

"Why do you have to suffer with me?"

"I don't feel bitter! Only when you are unhappy, I will feel bitter. Don't worry, we will survive!"

"You, it's all like this, and you still want to comfort me!"
