his dragon [farming]

After another snowfall in Liangshi Town, it was the twelfth lunar month, and every household began to get busy.

Shen Shiliu called Qiuhe and said that after collecting the last few bills from the company, she would go home for the New Year.After Qiuhe told Shen Baocheng the news, the old man obviously had a limping leg, but walked briskly like a gust of wind. Every day at home, he was counting his days. He wanted to make rice cakes, boil candied seeds, smoked bacon, chicken and fish, and waited for his family. The three of them were reunited and had a good year.

Like Shen Baocheng, the old men and women who used to sleep in the firehouses in the town were busy preparing for the New Year.The market became once a week. Several times, when Qiuhe went to the town, he saw a stall under the big pagoda tree in front of Huaniangniang's supermarket, with red paper firecrackers, all kinds of flashy bagged snacks, old people Wearing cotton-padded jackets and cloth shoes, many people gather together to pick goods, and Empress Hua is as busy as a flying canopy, and there is a sense of joy and excitement.

Just after the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the number of people in the town gradually increased.In the usually quiet town, some young and strange faces appeared.They gathered in twos and threes, standing on the side of the road, chatting on mobile phones, telling stories about working in various places, and some meeting to play poker or go to Internet cafes to play games. This is their most relaxing holiday of the year. , is also the busiest period of time in the depressed town.

However, Qiuhe didn't make any new friends because of this, he is very busy every day now.Every now and then I go to the mountains, sometimes to Yuntai, and more often to Longchao.Even if he doesn't want to go occasionally, he will be dragged away by another begging.

Two young people who fell in love and had a taste of love for the first time, wished to be tired of being together every minute.When at the foot of the mountain, Shen Baocheng had to cover up in front of him. Only when he entered the mountain, and there was no one in the way of eyes, could Bai Chuan use all the tricks he had just learned to coax people into obedience and kiss them dizzily. Brain, completely intoxicated in this gentle village.

On this day, Qiuhe wanted to run to the next door after breakfast, but was stopped by Shen Baocheng.The old man pretended to be bitter and said: "It won't hurt to play outside every day! You are so lazy and spend a day with grandpa, what can you do?"

Qiu He was stabbed in the heart by him, his face was hot, and he was worried that the old man would see something, so he quibbled: "Bai Chuan said, people can't be cut off from the mountain these two days, and those who are afraid of poaching will go to the mountain while they are young. ——Let's talk , obviously I just spent a whole day making rice cakes with you at home two days ago!"

The old man was really sour this time, and said, "Alas, Bai Chuan is more important than grandpa now!"

Qiu He straightened his neck and shouted: "No way! You like to wrong people! ... Okay, okay, what are you going to do today, let me help you, the head office can do it? I said, you should also calm down. The house is ready for the new year, even if Sister Pomegranate is a cow, she can't eat so much, right?"

Shen Baocheng chiseled him on the head and scolded: "Sister Pomegranate! Is this nickname for you?"

The two bickered, and taking advantage of the fine weather, they carried the dried melon sticks in the dustpan to the roof to dry. Qiu He felt relieved when he saw that his grandfather had nothing to say.

Shen Baocheng had no doubts about their frequent visits to the mountains.Now that his legs and feet are inconvenient, Lin Ziben is guarded by Bai Chuan alone.The two children are good friends, and it's okay for Qiuhe to go to the mountains to play with her.If you are in danger, it doesn't exist!After all, Bai Chuan was also a dragon who grew up in the mountains, so what danger could Qiu He have if he followed him?What's more, watching his darling's face become rosy and plump day by day, it can be seen that the hot springs on the mountain are really good for people, so the old man Shen is more relieved.

The two of them were working together to move the quilt outside to dry, when Bai Chuan came over and hurriedly went to help.When Shen Baocheng saw him, he said, "I was just about to tell you that the eldest grandson of the old grandson in the town is getting married tomorrow, will you go?"

Bai Chuan shook his head, looked at Qiu He and said, "I still have to go to the mountain."

Qiu He then persuaded him: "Grandpa Sun also helped us, and his eldest grandson got married, don't you want to be in favor?"

Bai Chuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, grandpa will go in a while, and help me bring the favor there."

Shen Baocheng planned to ask him to go together, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and said: "Nowadays, there are many people there, so you don't have to go, so as not to attract attention. Let's go, Qiuhe, we will go eat later. Go face to face!"

Qiu He was stunned: "Ah? Didn't you get married tomorrow?"

It turns out that a marriage in the countryside would take three days if it was a grand affair. Lao Sun’s eldest son was making tofu in the city, and the second son was doing some construction work. The people of Liangshi town are very acclaimed by Dajiaye. Now that the children get married and serve wine in their hometown, it can be regarded as a glorious village.

Qiu He didn't want to go, and was afraid of provoking the old man to say something else, so he reluctantly agreed.Taking advantage of the time when Shen Baocheng entered the room, Bai Chuan reluctantly held Qiu He's hand, and whispered, "Can't I go?"

Qiuhe also said quietly: "You think I want to go? Isn't this worried about showing your feet in front of grandpa? Now it's like being a thief, so you have to be careful."

Bai Chuan looked at him with a bit of resentment, Qiu He paused, and suddenly realized that Bai Chuan might be misunderstood by these words, and hurriedly explained softly: "I am mainly afraid that grandpa will not be able to accept this matter because he is old. Slow down first." Slow down, let's figure out a solution after the Chinese New Year is over, okay?"

"Okay..." Bai Chuan couldn't say anything bad in front of Qiu He, he pursed his lips and said, "Come back early in the evening, let's have a good talk."

Qiu He agreed, and Bai Chuan looked inside the house, and saw that Shen Baocheng had packed up and was about to go out. He hurriedly dragged the people together, and quickly took a sweet scent on his cheek, then reluctantly let go, and went to the mountain with one step and two turns. up.

Qiu He followed Shen Baocheng to the old Sun's house, thinking all the way, wondering how long such sneaky days would last.

In the past, he had thought that the two of them were getting along well, maybe they would break up soon, and it would become an episode in life, so let's try our best to hide this matter from our parents if we can.But now I feel that when Bai Chuan, this idiot, talks about love, he is as serious as he is, and if he is determined, he seems to be ready to live his whole life.As for myself, I really really like him.In this way, sooner or later, he should be brought to meet his parents. He has been hiding, isn't he a bully?

But he couldn't tell Sister Shiliu, Mom, I found you a son-in-law!Thinking of how much trouble this incident would cause at home and even in Liangshi Town, Qiu He wanted to shrink herself into an invulnerable shell.

In the end, he thought desperately, let's keep it a secret for as long as possible. When that day really comes, if he wants to die, he will always find a way.

Half a mile away from Lao Sun's house, I heard bursts of suona.In front of the house, a shed was built with striped cloth on the drying ground, and a stage was set up inside. The country drummer was playing hard, and the high and short chairs under the stage were full of audience.Some old people are basking in the sun watching a movie, while the young ones hold a mobile phone and chat while playing.There were a few tables of flowing water mats inside and outside the house, and after one group of people ate, they were immediately removed, cleaned up and let the other group eat.

Old man Sun smiled like an old chrysanthemum, dressed in a brand new padded jacket, and greeted the guests at the front.Shen Baocheng lit a hanging whip, and it exploded cracklingly, giving off a burst of gunpowder smell.The old grandson grinned, and greeted him from afar, afraid that the father and son would be cold, so he kept letting him sit in the fire room.As soon as the door was pushed open, there was a room full of people sitting inside, two or three of whom were still unfamiliar.

Old Liu from the barbershop was also among them. When he saw Qiuhe, he immediately pulled out a small bench from behind and said, "Come, Qiuhe, come and sit next to me!"

Qiu He didn't want to save his Grandpa Liu's face, so he went to sit, Shen Baocheng also found a seat, a group of people sat drinking tea and chatting, one of them was a thin middle-aged man, wearing a straight gray suit, with two catties smeared on his hair Mousse, shiny and shiny, was also sitting among a group of gray old men.The man took a few glances at Qiu He and said, "Oh, Uncle Shen, this is... is Pomegranate's baby? How long have you been here? How old are you?"

"That's right, you'll be eighteen in the blink of an eye!" Shen Baocheng said, and then turned around and introduced to Qiu He: "This is your second uncle grandson."

Qiuhe obediently called someone, took off her scarf and hat, and sat to warm herself by the fire.The eldest son of the Sun family, named Sun Shigui, looked at Qiuhe and said, "It's the same as Pomegranate when I was a child! It looks weird at first glance! ... Where is your mother? When will you be back?"

Qiu He was stunned by the word "weird", and didn't bother to answer for a while, but Shen Baocheng said in a showy tone: "I'll be back in a few days. She has a lot of things to do, and she's still picking up things at this time." As for the bill, it is said that it will be returned as soon as it is collected."

An old man next to him interjected: "This year, the girl's grandson will be at home for the New Year?"

Shen Baocheng nodded and complained proudly: "It's annoying too! I have to prepare food and drink every day! But this leg is not strong! I'll be more relaxed if they don't come back!"

Qiu He pursed his lips and smiled. Old man Liu couldn't understand his old brother's smug face, rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, oh, I'm so tired! I don't mind it, let Qiu He go with his mother on the thirtieth year." My family, you just don’t call someone.”

Shen Baocheng endured the pomp and circumstance, and suddenly remembered that Lao Liu was a loner and had no one to accompany him during the Chinese New Year. Be strong! How can a woman’s family collect her bills without anyone helping her? Tell me, how many people do I have under my command, and how much can I suffer if I find two to help her?”

Qiu He secretly laughed, guessing that this might be Sister Shiliu's past suitor.Shen Baocheng just smiled and didn't speak when he heard the words, obviously he didn't like this greasy philistine man.A group of old men turned to talk about the situation of the bride and groom, and the process of welcoming the bride tomorrow.It turned out that Sun's parent, Sun, didn't do the tofu business, but opened a motorcycle repair shop. During the period, he met a hair-washing girl in the barber shop next door, but she was a foreigner.Now the little girl doesn't wash her hair anymore, and she's running a mom-and-pop shop with all her heart.

Old Liu sighed and said, "People of this generation are all going out. The town is getting more and more empty."

"It won't be empty!" Seeing that no one answered what he said just now, Sun Shigui was a little disappointed. At this time, he hurriedly put on a well-informed manner and talked freely: "You old people don't know that people in rural areas are booming nowadays. After entering the city, the people in the city are happy to go to the countryside. The people in the town haven’t heard of it yet, right? Our town is going to start development after the Chinese New Year. It is said that the county is attracting investment and attracting a big project. We are in the town. At that time, the houses in this town will be demolished, and we can still get money."

Several old men in the room were stunned, and Old Liu opened his mouth first, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! Is it true? Where do you want us to move?"

"Look at what you've been talking about! When did I talk nonsense?" Sun Shigui said angrily, "I heard from a good friend of mine. I heard that we are planning to move all the residents of our old town to the new town. Let’s build a relocation building over there. This side is vacant for tourism development projects.”

"We are in the barren mountains and mountains, where do we get any tourist resources?" Qiu He interjected.

"You don't know about that. Nowadays, people in the city come to this kind of place to pick fruit, climb a mountain, what is it called... Leisure tourism! Yes, the development of leisure tourism industry!"

Qiuhe wanted to ask again, but the old man Liu lost his temper and said angrily, "Why didn't anyone tell us about such a big thing? I won't move! I live here well, the place is spacious, and it's convenient to grow and order vegetables." , It’s also convenient to raise a chicken, but what do you rely on for a living after moving to a building? Could it be that you sew your mouth shut?”

Several old men in the house also expressed that they were not used to living in high-rise houses, and they were reluctant to part with the familiar land in front of and behind the house, and there was a lot of discussion about the demolition.Shen Baocheng thought for a while, and asked: "Let's not talk about whether we will move or not, just what you said... what industry, how does the town plan to develop? Where will it develop? The mountain behind the town belongs to the Lin family!"

Sun Shigui smiled and said, "It's all easy to talk about. It doesn't matter who's. You can sit down and talk slowly."

Shen Baocheng wanted to ask again, but a young man stuck his head in from the door and said, "Second Uncle, Grandpa said you're being lazy again, and told you to go out to meet guests!"

"Hey!" Sun Shigui agreed, wiped his hair, and walked out lazily, complaining as he walked, "Can you talk? Why am I being lazy? I'm here to accompany a guest!"

After Sun Shigui left, the old men continued to talk about the demolition for a while, and they all felt that because of Sun's habit of peeing, this matter was probably not true, so they later brought up the topic of various New Year's goods So, Qiuhe put on a hat and scarf and came out of the fire room.

The news I heard just now weighed heavily on my heart like a huge rock.Qiuhe went all the way to the door, walked through the sun valley flat, came to a tree at the bottom of the slope, stood alone for a while, feeling very aggrieved.

Why can't these people let Bai Chuan feel at ease for a moment?Ever since he came to Liangshi Town, there has never been a real peace here.In order to obtain this mountain forest, those people's methods became more and more despicable.Last time, if the bastard surnamed Liu hadn't died suddenly, I'm afraid Bai Chuan would have to keep fighting with him.

This time too, the so-called tourism development is probably just a cover, those people will drive away all the people in Liangshi Town first, and then resort to tricks to make Bai Chuan leave this land.After this forest is completely transferred to others, the white birds like clouds in the ginkgo forest and the cold moon in Cangshan Mountain in front of the Immortal Terrace will gradually disappear.

You don't know who are the people who covet this mountain.Qiu He suddenly remembered what Bai Chuan said.

Standing in the cold winter wind of Liangshi Town, Qiu He let out a big breath of white air, thinking, if people move away, they can still have a new home.Where can a dragon go after being forced to leave his final home?
