"In the past, Taoyuan Village was located in the deep mountains, even if the mountain roads were built, but it has not been able to develop due to various reasons. But since they started to breed quails and opened an online store, they not only developed their own planting and breeding, but also bamboo art and quail. The art of paper-cutting has been popularized. In Taoyuan Village today, young people no longer leave the village, but many young people who have gone out to study in college have begun to return to build their hometown..."

Chu Yao slowly opened his eyes, the grandparents downstairs were watching TV, and the sound of the news broadcast rang in his ears.He yawned and got up, then looked at the leaves on the bed in a daze.

The huge black snake tail that dragged on the floor slowly retracted into the quilt, Long Jiu didn't move his eyes, and patted the quilt twice, "Have you lost your hair?"

"Hmm..." Chu Yao raised his hand and scratched his head. Fortunately, the hair on his head was not leaves, otherwise it would be difficult to go downstairs with a green head.

The sound of square dancing came from the big speakers in the village in the distance. Mother Chu came here after she retired, and within a few days she organized a square dance association in the village. Not only men and women in the village, but even tourists I couldn't help such enthusiasm, broke the principle of never getting up early, and started doing morning exercises together.

"It's getting up late again." Chu Yao lifted the quilt and got out of bed. The golden sunlight shone through the cracks in the curtains. With a pull, the whole room was filled with warm colors.

The island has been busy for a long time, and all kinds of crops to be sent to the town were sent away by Sister Xi early in the morning. Ying Wei did not know where to toss out a pan, and yesterday sent noodles to fry fried dough sticks Making pancakes and fruits is now a whole lot of trouble downstairs.

Chu Tiantian also woke up. This year, he is in the fourth grade. He has grown taller. Before he went to the village to grind noodles, a female tourist asked for his contact information. After finding out that Tian Tian was underage, he blushed and ran away. Tuliu Baidi was melancholy carrying the bag of noodles.

"Is that enough chopped green onion and coriander? When will you make it? I have to go to school in half an hour." Baidi who was picked up early in the morning was very impatient. If he didn't want to eat pancakes, he wouldn't be able to afford it so early Woolen cloth.

"Why are you in a hurry? Do you eat fried dough sticks or crispy ones?" Shan Gui Yingwei heated up the oil pan and fiddled with a large lump of soft dough with great interest.

"All of them. My grandparents and grandparents want to be thin and crispy." Chu Tian has accepted his fate and no longer rejects calling human grandparents, because there are benefits to calling them, and he just lives a long time if he pretends to be tender. , not a fool.

"Uncle Ying, do you have soy milk?" The twins from Longnv's family ran over, and the eldest was still carrying a small bamboo basket filled with grass shrimps. "Yesterday, Uncle Yang Yang said he wanted to eat fried shrimp cakes. Early in the morning, my dad went fishing for shrimp."

"Your Uncle Fei is cooking soy milk, you two go and drink a bowl first. Just put the shrimp in the kitchen." Ying Wei was busy frying fried dough sticks and couldn't spare a hand to pick up the basket.

A few peacocks were strolling under the peach tree planted on the opposite side of the road. The peaches have been harvested for several rounds, and there are still some late ripening ones left. They are picking the sweetest peaches to eat.King Kong was standing on the grape trellis combing his feathers, and beside him were several gray parrots and sunflower parrots, gossiping in strange voices.

Grandpa Chu in his 80s and Grandma Chu in her 80s came down from the hillside arm in arm, holding a basket in their hands, which contained some wild fruits and wild mushrooms. Although there were not many, it was enough to satisfy the children in the family. up.

The health of the old couple is getting healthier. Although aging is force majeure, they look much younger than their peers.Especially Grandma Chu, her physical weakness has improved a lot, and she doesn't feel so uncomfortable when the seasons change.

Chu Yao took a shower, and went out with Long Jiu one after the other.

The air on the island is really good, and there is a hint of sweetness in the fragrance of plants and trees. Taking a deep breath makes one feel refreshed.The xiaojianmu on the top of the mountain is still a little bit big, with emerald green leaves and crystal dew rolling on it.

The pigs in the mountain depression ate fat heads and big ears, and several newborn piglets ran wild behind the mother pig, rolled all over in the mud, and rushed into the bushes to eat and chew sweet wild fruits.

Shuhu strolled over from the mountain road, followed by two strong and beautiful big black horses.One of the black girls is his great-granddaughter, who flashed in a video and attracted a rich man, who made countless phone calls and delivered a colt that was said to have a noble pedigree , and now the two horses are married, and the black girl is pregnant with a round belly.

Brother Niu and his younger sister Niu have given birth to many calves.Now the cattle cultivated on the mountain are basically the descendants of Brother Niu.The calf back then is now much bigger than the bulls of the same kind. Many heifers in other villages have always wanted to have a non-entangled relationship with Niu Ge. Cows are never dismissive.These two cows are not working now, just wandering all over the mountains and plains, and the small life is not to mention how comfortable it is.

When he came down from the mountain, Yingwei’s pancake stall finally opened, and the young ones ate pancakes and went to school. A pancake squatted under the peach tree, beckoning his two fat cats to eat together.

The square dance music in the village stopped, but there was another burst of nice singing.

Ying Wei listened for a while, his expression a little dazed.

"It's Qu Yuan's 'Mountain Ghost'. Is it you who sang?" Chu Yao washed his hands and grabbed a set of pancakes, and sat beside Ying Wei to eat them together.

"... riding on the red leopard, following the raccoon dog, tying the laurel flag in the Xinyi car, being taken by Shi Lanxi to Du Heng, and folding Fangxin's thoughts..." Ying Wei sang a few lines along, and said with a smile: "It's me. "

"You don't have any clothes on, and you dare to come out to meet people in a grass skirt?" Chu Yao complained.

Ying Wei clicked his tongue and said, "Except for immortals and star generals, no one likes to wear clothes. I still have vines to cover me, and some guys just run around naked. It's just that I can't do it now, and I will be arrested." of."

Chu Yao laughed and almost choked.

The saying that there is no sun and moon in the mountains is too true. It may be that the life is too leisurely, and many years have passed without knowing it.

Until one morning, the two young men who had been to the island came again.

Chu Yao knew them as black and white, "Long time no see."

Bai Wuchang smiled and looked behind him.

Long Jiu walked over slowly, took Chu Yao's hand, and said softly, "It's time for grandpa and grandma."

Chu Yao was in a daze, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, let out a short ah, turned around and ran back.

Grandma Chu and Grandpa Chu seemed to have known that this day was coming. They were already fully dressed and sitting side by side on the sun lounger.The sunlight coated their snow-white hair with a layer of golden light. The old couple held hands and smiled at Chu Yao.

The courtyard was very quiet, and King Kong, who was usually noisy, shut his mouth.Xiaobai and the two little unicorns nestled in the arms of his grandparents, licking the old man's skinny fingers.

Mother Chu shed tears silently in Yu Haiyang's arms. They already knew something, and now seeing two young people, one black and one white, walking into the yard, the tears flowed faster.

Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu stood up, and time quickly went back on them. Soon, the two of them turned into people in their twenties.The male is tall and handsome, while the female is gentle and beautiful.

"We're leaving," Grandma Chu raised her hand and pinched her daughter's face, "Haha, you look much older than me now! Why are you crying, I've lived to be 97 years old, and it's enough for me."

Grandpa Chu said to Chu Yao: "You haven't seen your grandma when she was young, have you? How about it, isn't she very beautiful? Much better looking than your mother. Your mother just doesn't follow along, so she's not as good as you."

"Let's go, goodbye." The two smiled and walked to Hei Wuchang, "We will meet again if we are destined."

Tears fell from Chu Yao's eyes, and the misty mountain rain enveloped the entire island.

The figures of the four people gradually disappeared in the golden light, and the old couple on the recliner were smiling and interlocking their fingers.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are things that mortals have to go through. Even the creation of heaven and earth will dissipate one day." Long Jiu held Chu Yao's hand tightly and said, "It is happiness to be able to leave together. If one of them leaves first, the rest The next one will be so sad..."

Chu Yao sighed, and said: "I see, I was ignorant before, and I will accompany you in the future. Well, I know that grandpa and grandma walked peacefully without any worries, and they are not so sad. I just got used to them It’s just by your side, you can take back your tail! Take it back!”

The tip of the tail wrapped around Chu Yao's thigh reluctantly rubbed, then retracted and turned into two long legs.Long Jiu looked at him innocently, "I just want to comfort you."

The funeral affairs of the two old people were kept simple, because they had already severed ties with their families back then, and there were no ancestral tombs. Now the tombs are built in a place with excellent Fengshui on the island.Not long after, a pair of lovebirds hatched in the bushes next to the tomb. The birds chirped and were carried back by Lin Feiyuan and kept beside the peacock.

I don't know how long it has passed, and the young people in the village are also getting old.They are telling their little grandchildren about their poor days, "... Later, a few young people came to the big cities to teach us how to raise quails, grow flowers to make scented tea, set up online stores, build schools and clinics, Build cold storage. Gradually, our village has developed. You don’t have to carry food so far to go to school, you can go to school at your doorstep. Hey, is that Xiao Chu? Xiao Chu, come here for a stroll? "

"Well, buy some snacks." Chu Yao said with a smile.

"Go, go, that cake is delicious." The old man waved his hand, watched Chu Yao go away, and said to his grandson: "Their family lives on the island, and this kid looks like his grandpa." It's like...it's exactly the same. Oh, by the way, what did Grandpa say just now?"

"Talk about school!" the children repeated in a childish voice.

"Oh, that's right, the school. The second principal is the uncle's great-grandmother who passed by just now. Isn't there a portrait hanging in your school conference room? Grandpa was taught by that principal. She is very nice, give us A lot of books have been sent. Now half of the books in the school library are given by them... and the peach trees and flowers all over the mountains and plains in our village are also given by them. And the mountain road, In the beginning, it was repaired by their family members, and then we all had money, so we rebuilt it bit by bit... Now the village can have this situation, thanks to them, people like living Bodhisattvas..."

Chu Yao walked back with snacks, and the mountain wind blew, and the peach blossom petals fell one after another, as if it was raining flowers.There are tourists passing by, laughing and laughing, feeling the ancient villages and towns far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

A group of young people on the lake yelled to cast nets for fishing, and in the evening a whole fish feast would be held in the village.

Wang Xishan and East Prince were yelling and selling the island's produce in the newly built pier verandah, and two lovebirds landed on their shoulders, chirping along.Not far away, a few peacocks strolled in the peach forest, opening their tail feathers very cooperatively, causing tourists to scream frequently.

The outside world is changing, and the island is peaceful and happy.
