In my days as a farmer

Four days later, a warm current hit the entire North China Plain, and the sky finally cleared after a heavy rainfall.

A pickup truck drove over a muddy road that had started to melt snow on its way to Xiaojin Village.The driver is a middle-aged man with a cropped head. Although he is wearing a uniform, the knotted muscles on his body, a scar running through the bridge of the nose, and the terrifying aura that can cure children from crying at night seem to be silently expressing his unhappiness. well-known stories.

Uh, it’s actually not that complicated. Uncle was the most foolish age when he was young. He worked in a special industry that can’t be told by outsiders, and he was just a small boss.

His surname is Hu, but when he was young, he felt that this surname did not match his domineering appearance, so he took the nickname Hu Ge.

However, after marrying his wife, Brother Hu has already started a good life. In order to earn money for milk powder, he also learned some crafts. Now he has opened a furniture factory that specializes in custom-made furniture, and occasionally takes on some jobs to provide wood for decoration.

In the past two years, he also won the Top Ten Entrepreneur Medal issued by the city for his good tax payment and the jobs he provided. Although he looks a little scary, he is an out-and-out good citizen (now).

Winter is a low season for all industries related to decoration, and the same is true for carpentry.At this time, the raw materials are cold and hard, the clothes are heavy, and the cement putty is not easy to dry, so most people avoid starting construction in winter, so there are not many people who want furniture at this time.

Their decoration season in Northeast China will start at Qingming at the earliest, so after completing the orders from years ago, Brother Hu waved his hand and gave the workers a holiday until the end of March, who knows that at this time, someone was introduced. A big order for almost all the furniture in the house.

Although they are not big items, the price of the bits and pieces can be less than [-] yuan.

I was reluctant to reject it, but now I can’t do it. Fortunately, Brother Hu called and discussed with the buyer, and the buyer was willing to accept the spot.

After the two added WeChat and chatted for a few words, Brother Hu felt that the young man opposite him was quite reasonable, so after learning that this person had a dog at home, he was very happy and made a dog bed as a gift, which was considered as a gift for everyone. a good relationship.

Because they were all in stock, Brother Hu decided to take a trip by himself after finishing the tally. He arrived at Xiaojin Village humming a ditty all the way, and then saw a man dressed in... er, chubby at the gate of the village from a distance.

Brother Hu squinted his eyes and tried to identify it, and then he was sure that it was indeed a person. My dear, Bao Cheng thought it was a blind bear from a distance like this. The little brother is quite weak at such a young age.

Xia Dongli, who didn't know the other party's slander, came over and opened the passenger's door. After getting in the car, he pulled his hand, and the big blue merle-colored dog slid and sat down on his lap.

"Yo! This is your dog." Brother Hu turned his head to look at the dog in Xia Dongli's arms while shifting gears, and bit the unlit cigarette stuffed in his mouth, "It's pretty nice."

As if knowing that someone was praising him, Rice immediately turned to look at Brother Hu with a big smile on his face

"It's called rice!" Xia Dongli stretched out his hand and smoothed back the dog's ears that were blown by the wind, and then pierced his five fingers into the thick fur and pressed its forehead to appease the nervous dog, while saying to the man driving , "It's a border collie, boy."

"Oh, that's pretty good."

The man turned the steering wheel and chatted up the topic casually: "Actually, you don't have to go out of the village to wait for me. Your little house is quite famous. When you talk about the little brick house, the locals know it."

"Hey?"

"You are not from us. I don't know. We are all mountains. The water veins of mountains are also called dragon veins. Some of us said that Baiyun Mountain is a red dragon when we read Fengshui. The geothermal heat here is dragon blood. You Xiaojin The village is Long’s Chin, and your little brick house is where Long Nilin lives.”

Xia Dongli smiled when he heard the words. He is a staunch atheist, but it is too disappointing to say this now. Anyway, he just chatted casually. He responded casually: "It turns out that the land I entrusted is so important. It is all dragons." It's reversed."

Brother Hu is so shrewd. One look at him and you can tell that he doesn't believe it. He snorted and took two puffs of unlit cigarettes, "The dragon's reverse scale is not good, but it's all bad if you touch it. Your little building If you are famous, you will be famous, and whoever moves will suffer."

"That building is all made of red bricks. If you think about the price of red bricks decades ago, when no one lived there, of course someone would come up with the idea of ​​those red bricks..."

The man took a puff of his cigarette with vicissitudes, "I heard that they all left Xiaojin Village later, and I haven't heard from them again."

It's normal to have no news after leaving my hometown twenty or thirty years ago, after all, phones were a rarity back then.Xia Dongli coughed, and said implicitly: "My grandma's brothers also got separated at that time, but they were found after publishing in the newspaper."

Brother Hu turned his head to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "The former village chief of your village also thought about turning that building into a weather tower, and then..."

"Later?" Xia Dongli was a little nervous because of the atmosphere.

"Later, he became your former village chief." Brother Hu said deeply.

Xia Dongli was silent for a moment, and said: "When I walked out of the small village, I saw the old village chief eating melon seeds in the activity center."

People are just old enough to retire honorably.

Brother Tiger: "..."

Brother Hu struggled hard: "You lean against the edge of the forest, but you haven't seen a few wild animals go down the mountain for so many years!"

"Xiaojin Village hardly raises large livestock, and there is no taste for meat. Naturally, wild animals will not take the initiative to go down the mountain to attack."

"Since, there are very few natural disasters! There are no landslides and falling rocks!"

"Uh... the government is doing a good job?" There is little rain in the north, so landslides are not easy under normal circumstances. As for falling rocks, there are safety nets along the way.

It was the first time Brother Hu met such a reckless person, he turned his head to look at him in disbelief, and what he met was a pair of big eyes with the word "integrity" shining.

But Mr. Hu's sharp eyes caught the panic in those eyes, and he was a little happy at once, knowing that this kid is stubborn, hehe, be afraid~

"Brother, brother, watch the way!" Xia Dongli almost held his head and turned forward.

Do the villagers drive so casually?They don't even look at the road!The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are crying, brother!

Brother Hu nimbly turned a few turns, and finally stopped beside a black SUV with a dark face. He jumped off the truck, opened the truck's fence very neatly, and began to unload the cargo. He maintained a strong sense of protest throughout the process. silence.

Most of the furniture in his house is of mortise and tenon structure, and the ones Xia Dongli ordered were not fine models, so they were dismantled into basic parts for convenience during transportation, and these parts were packed in cardboard boxes.

Even so, due to the large quantity, it took him some time to move the things onto the cart, and Xia Dongli also helped. When the two were half loaded, Xia Dongli murmured: "Why is there no sound for the rice?" Already!"

There is an iron law that is universal in the field of raising babies and raising pets, that is - if the baby does not make a sound for more than half an hour, as long as it is not sleeping, it must be doing something wrong.

Rice has been silent for a long time!

Xia Dongli felt something was wrong with his intuition as a dog dad who cleaned up the mess all the year round. He immediately put down the cardboard box in his hand and stood up, taking advantage of the height of the truck to glance down. However, the merle-colored Bianmu has its own camouflage in the snow As a result, he struggled to see, almost scanning the snowdrift inch by inch.

After a while, Xia Dongli's expression became more meaningful.

"What's wrong?" Brother Hu, who was moving things aside, looked at him and asked.

Xia Dongli narrowed his eyes and said, "I seem to see rice at the door... There seems to be something at the door of my house."

"...噫!" This is actually a very normal sentence, but the unyielding Hu brother just wanted to scare this guy, so many ghost stories were brewing in his stomach when he was moving things, Xia Dongli said it now. Startled him, "What, who? Neighbor?"

Xia Dongli gave him a strange look. The small brick house is several kilometers away from other people's farmland, let alone the neighbor's house.And even if you want to visit, you won't choose this snowmelt day. It's cold and wet at this time, and you will be extremely embarrassed after going out for a while. Who can't think of going out so much?

Oh he doesn't count =w=

Brother Hu also thought of this immediately, and the 1.9-meter-high man suddenly turned pale. He looked up at the "figure" at Xia Dongli's gate. The height was obviously abnormal, just a little taller than a standing medium-sized dog , and the contour curve is particularly weird, not human-shaped.

Looking down at the white snow again, there were no footprints on it.

For a moment, all kinds of spooky and ghost stories he had seen in "Story Club" flashed through his mind, and he was horrified at the moment.At this moment, he saw Xia Dongli get out of the car and yelled hurriedly. Xia Dongli didn't stop. He walked in the direction of home and said, "Brother Hu, let me take a look first! Put your things down." That's fine, I'll wait and fight myself."

Brother Hu took a deep breath, and the man from the Northeast looked at Xia Dongli's back in awe. He quickened his movements and put all the things on the cart and sent them off. Sitting in the main driver's seat, he slid and left.

Xia Dongli looked back when he heard the movement, and was amazed. He is indeed the most forthright man in the Northeast in the legend, and he is too convinced that he will not renege on his debts, and he will not ask for money.This is not buying goods from Taobao. Both parties can rest assured that there is Alipay as an intermediary.If you order directly from the factory, you pay for it and deliver it.

... By the way, do I have to return this small cart?Wait until you call and ask about the location of Brother Hu's factory. If you're not in a hurry, he will bring it to someone when he goes to the town to pick up the courier.

Xia Dongli, who was walking while thinking, soon saw two groups at the door of the house.

As soon as he saw the scene on the other side clearly, he quickly trotted forward, "Dami, don't scare people!"

The dog baring its teeth in a threatening manner immediately turned its face to look at its owner, whimpered aggrievedly, then turned its head and sprayed at the little girl who was curled up in front of him, and saw that she flinched again in fright. Tighter, Shi Shiran stepped in front of Xia Dongli.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

"Wow woo woof!" The master quickly caught this man, he must be coveting the treasures we buried yesterday!

Wang wants to swear to the death to protect the bones of the family!
