Slanting rain pastoral Ruo Kasa new

This past week, Yanjiawan was extremely lively, with people coming and going, just like going to a market.

Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for such a situation: one is that there are people in Yanjiawan who hold weddings and funerals; the other is that there are rare things to see here.

Something really happened in Yanjiawan this time, people from far and near villages rushed over to see what was going on, and a few men from Dujiaqiao Village twenty miles away came here just for this incident.

In the end, what happened to Yanjiawan? !

With hands behind his back, Yan Yuanzhao walked steadily on the flat stone road in Yanjiawan, nodding and smiling to greet passers-by.

Looking at the people from his own village and those from other villages, Yan Yuanzhao disdainfully concealed the complacent look on his face, as if "Look, the champion of our Yan family doesn't admire Chaotang, he likes the farm".

That's right, such a big commotion was all caused by Yan Che returning home to contract the barren mountain.

Everyone couldn't figure out if this number one scholar had read too much, making his brain useless. He couldn't live in the city so well, so he went back to the countryside to grow some crops? !

Is there anyone who hasn't done this bun mountain thing?Don't talk about making money, isn't it all bloody and bankrupt?

Although the township government highly praised Zhuangyuanlang for this, saying that Zhuangyuanlang is determined to contribute to the economy of his hometown and play a pioneering role in helping the people in his hometown to become well-off, which is worth learning from.

However, everyone is not optimistic about Zhuangyuanlang's "brain-dead" move, and they are all thinking: This mountain is so barren, what can it develop?Although TV has also reported many deeds of Baoshan driving economic development in other provinces, but can it be compared with the mountains in the Pingliang Mountains area?

Even if you don't like the behavior of the champion Lang Baoshan, it doesn't mean that everyone won't watch the fun out of curiosity, right? !

No, they all gathered under the Wuxu Mountain next to Yanjia Bay to see how the Yan family's top scholar led the "economic development" of the countryside.

Near noon, Yan Che and Zhang Chaoying, Yan Guosheng's aunt, were walking around the stove.

"Aunt Guosheng, go and have a rest, I'm enough to come alone." Yan Che looked at Zhang Chaoying busy back and forth by the stove with his sleeves on, feeling a little sorry.

"Go, go, go out, or light a fire for me obediently." Zhang Chaoying waved his hand, pretending to be angry, with a deep smile in his eyes: This child, no wonder her man loves him so much.

"Okay, auntie, I'll go light the fire." Looking at Zhang Chaoying's appearance, Yan Che knew that it was impossible to replace him, so he could only sit on the wooden stake in front of the stove with a smile, and put one handful into the stove Add firewood.

"San'er, hey..." Seeing Yan Che's serious expression, Zhang Chaoying swallowed the words again.In fact, she was not very optimistic about Yan Che Baoshan's matter, and always felt that it was out of the question.Although Zhang Chaoying felt alienated from the people of Yanjiawan because of what happened to her in Yanjiawan back then, Yan Guoqiang was different from those people.

After all, in Yan Guosheng's eyes, Yan Guoqiang is both brother and father.

"What's wrong with Auntie?" Yan Che looked at Zhang Chaoying's strange expression in confusion, and couldn't help asking softly, "Uncomfortable?"

"It's okay. It's enough to add two more fires. Go and see if your Uncle Guosheng is back. You can't move these meals by yourself." Zhang Chaoying smiled, shook her head, and begged: Young people, if you can toss, you can Toss to chant.Seeing that the fourth brother returned the money, it is estimated that this kid came back to get these after making money outside.

"Well, okay!" Yan Che added two more handfuls of firewood to the stove, stood up and shook off the firewood, and left the stove.

six days ago.

After Yan Che told Yan Guoqiang his idea of ​​"digging ponds and building mountains", Yan Guosheng left that afternoon to call eight or nine middle-aged men back to help.

These middle-aged men were all called by Yan Guosheng from Liujiatan, and the leader among them was Liu Jianhua who Yan Che met last time.

Seeing Yan Che's surprise, Yan Guoqiang quietly told Yan Che while Yan Guosheng was inviting these men to drink tea and smoke - Liu Jianhua is the village head of Liujiatan, and also the youngest village head in Fuyuan Township .

Hearing the truth about his father, Yan Che was really taken aback. Thinking of his uncle's village chief, Fan Er, and seeing Liu Jianhua's laughing and laughing face, he really didn't believe that this was the village chief.

However, before Yan Che was in a daze for a long time, Liu Jianhua took the initiative to talk to the other men, and introduced Yan Che to the other men, which attracted the envy of the men and kept saying, "Oh, that's great. I didn't expect the champion Lang is Yan Jiang's younger brother," or something like that.

Liu Jianhua is the village chief of Liujiatan, and he is also Yan Guosheng's apprentice.

In the early years, Yan Guosheng worked as a helper with an old plasterer and learned the craft for two or three years. The reason why Yan Guosheng's family conditions were considered above average in Yanjiawan was also related to Yan Guosheng's special skills.

Yan Guosheng has the skills of a plasterer. When he was a teenager, Liu Jianhua pestered Yan Guosheng for more than half a year, just to worship Yan Guosheng as his teacher and learn the skills of a life-saving.

Speaking of the marriage between Yan Jiamei and Liu Jianguo, Liu Jianhua was still their matchmaker.

When Liu Jianhua traveled to Yanjiawan, Liujiatan, and Lingqu Town for a long time, and was obsessed with Yan Guosheng, of course he also knew that Yan Guosheng had a daughter named Yan Jiamei.And Liu Jianhua's cousin Liu Jianguo also met Yan Jiamei in this way, and fell in love at first sight.

Seeing Liu Jianhua's seriousness, Yan Guosheng finally had no choice but to accept the apprentice of this brown sugar. At the same time, Liu Jianguo also invited his family to Yanjiawan to propose marriage.

Although Yan Jiamei and her mother-in-law were at odds, Yan Guosheng's reputation in Fuyuan Township and even Jizhao County was not bad.Therefore, the relationship between Yan and Liu's family is not bad, especially Liu Jianhua's family. During the holidays, Liu Jianhua must visit the master's house as soon as possible to pay New Year's greetings.

Yan Guosheng has only one daughter and no son. After Liu Jianhua became Yan Guosheng's apprentice, Zhang Chaoying saw every bit of it. After more than ten years, he basically treats this apprentice as a son.

So this time, when Liu Jianhua heard that his master was looking for help, without saying a word, he brought a few cousins ​​and immediately came to Yanjiawan.

After a simple fire meal, Liu Jianhua waved his hand, and several men carried the tools and let Yan Che take them to the open space under Wuxu Mountain, where they started working in full swing.

Yan Che is just a scholar in the eyes of men, so of course he doesn't need to do anything. As for Yan Guoqiang Yan Guosheng, let alone Yan Che disagrees, even Liu Jianhua is not willing.

Therefore, Yan Guosheng acted as a "supervisor" and instructed the group of men how to start, and Yan Guoqiang set out to go to the town to get the ingredients.

Although this group of men took advantage of Yan Guosheng and Liu Jianhua's face and didn't charge any money, it was necessary to buy food.Therefore, Yan Guosheng asked Zhang Chaoying to help cook, and his son-in-law Liu Jianguo was responsible for delivering the purchased ingredients.

After being assigned in this way, Yan Che became an idler instead, and wherever he wanted to do something, he was always urged to leave.

Seeing that the food was almost ready, Zhang Chaoying asked Yan Che to go to Wuxu Mountain to call someone back for dinner and rest.

Yan Che had nothing to say, so he could only obey his orders obediently and went to Wuxu Mountain.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of Wuxu Mountain, I saw the same lively scene every day-men working in full swing, and a large circle of onlookers watching the excitement.

Shaking his head, Yan Che braced himself and squeezed through the crowd.

"Hey, Uncle Guosheng. Brother Jianhua, everyone, let's go back to eat and have a rest first!" Yan Che managed to squeeze out of the crowd, walked up to Yan Guoqiang and Yan Guosheng, and waved his sweat at the men who were digging and carrying mud back and forth. Shouted loudly.

This voice stopped the men who were working hard, and also attracted the attention of Yan Che from the people watching.

"Hey, the number one scholar, what delicious food are you cooking at home today?"

"Oh, what a handsome young man."

"Hey, this is the number one scholar from Yanjiawan, he is so handsome!"

……

This kind of situation has happened almost twice a day since the start of work, no matter how thick-skinned Yan Che is and how calm his temper is, every time he has to feel hot.

However, whenever such a situation arises, Yan Guoqiang or Yan Guosheng will come forward to relieve Yan Che's encirclement.

This time is no exception, it was Yan Guosheng who came forward: "Hey, what delicious food can our farmer have? Isn't it braised pig's feet with radish, stewed pork with potatoes (potatoes), and a bowl of rough vegetables like vegetable soup and corned rice? Just fill your stomach, haha."

As soon as Yan Guosheng said it, Liu Jianhua and his fellows couldn't help but cater to him: "That's right, filling your stomach is a big deal, it's a big deal, haha."

It is said to fill the stomach, but just two big meat dishes are already making people greedy.In the eyes of these farmers, being able to eat meat once a week is considered a luxury for their families.

Since Yan Che’s home started working, almost every day except for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there are big meat dishes, either fish or meat, and there are two or three catties of corn wine at every meal... These rich meals have long been watched by the surrounding people. People have been envious for a long time.

As soon as Yan Guosheng's words came out, it was inevitable that the crowd would boo again.

Just like that, Yan Che followed behind Yan Guoqiang and Yan Guosheng under everyone's laughter and envious eyes, and Liu Jianhua led a group of men to follow behind Yan Che, carrying tools to Yanjiawan.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a group of people saw Yan Yuanzhao walking towards here with his hands behind his back.

Yan Guoqiang immediately stepped forward and supported Yan Yuanzhao: "Fifth Grandpa, why are you here?"

Yan Yuanzhao looked at Yan Guosheng with a smile, then at Yan Che and the group of men behind him, and said to Yan Guoqiang, "I smelled the smell of meat and followed."

Hearing what Yan Yuanzhao said, Yan Guosheng also greeted him with a smile: "Fifth Grandpa, you have a really good old nose."

Yan Yuanzhao was not angry either, and looked at Yan Che with a smile: "Little San'er, you are really doing a great job."

Yan Che stepped forward and called "Five Patriarchs" in a proper manner, and his little face drooped pinkly, which made Yan Yuanzhao smile even more, and the wrinkles on his face became brilliant.

"Fifth Grandfather, let's drink some corn wine together." Yan Guoqiang was naturally happy to see the old man so happy, and he and Yan Guosheng supported Yan Yuanzhao into the courtyard.

After Yan Che greeted Liu Jianhua and his party to enter the courtyard, he got into the kitchen room and helped Zhang Chaoying bring pots of vegetables to the main room. Rural men consume a lot of energy, so their appetites are not small, except for the dishes. Serves are served in pots, and a large wooden barrel must be prepared for every meal of corn, otherwise it will not be enough.

At the dinner table, Yan Yuanzhao took a sip from the rough pottery bowl containing the wine, and said loudly, "Fourth, I have also seen Wuxu Mountain over there these days. It's still the youngest who can do it. "

"Grandpa Fifth, what is this little San'er? There are still three mountains in our village that have not been contracted out. The small mountains have limited capacity, so we can only contract smaller ones." Yan Guoqiang hurriedly picked up a chopsticks stewed meat skin for Yan Yuanzhao, and put it Put it in Yan Yuanzhao's bowl.

Yan Yuanzhao shook his head and put down his wine bowl: "You think I don't know? There are very few people in our village who can afford the mountain of wallets. These mountains are all entrusted to outsiders." As he spoke, he sighed In a breath: "Hey, you said, it was originally our own territory, but after it was contracted to others, we couldn't even step in with one foot. What is this?"

After listening to Yan Yuanzhao's words, everyone fell silent.

In fact, Yan Yuanzhao was talking about an incident that happened in Zhao Cuihua's natal family Zhaojiagou last month.

Zhaojiagou also contracted out a mountain. The contractor was an urbanite from Zhicheng, and he didn't know what he was doing on the mountain.

Later, a person from Zhaojiagou accidentally entered the mountain, and was broken by a person on the mountain and dropped down the mountain.

As soon as this incident happened, everyone in Zhaojiagou went to the government to sue the people on the mountain for neglecting their lives.

As a result, after a court summons was issued, Zhaojiagou was sued in court instead—the contractor sued Zhaojiagou people for stealing things from the mountain, and Zhaojiagou people even took the guy to surround the mountain, saying that their rights and lives were threatened .

After the coordination of the township government, the injured family not only did not get the medical expenses, but posted 3000 yuan to the contractor. This matter was considered private and the lawsuit was withdrawn.

Yan Che had also heard about this, and when he heard Yan Yuanzhao mentioning it at the dinner table, he also felt worried.

Just when Yan Che was worried about Chumeng, Yan Yuanzhao said something: "Fourth, it's not that I'm partial to you in this matter, and I don't care about Yan Jiawan's favor. I think you have to pay back some money. Do some work."

Yan Guoqiang and Yan Guosheng looked at each other, and looked at Yan Yuanzhao with confusion.

Yan Yuanzhao didn't pay attention to the two of them, instead he turned to look at Yan Che: "Little San'er, let's talk about it yourself."

"Uh..." Yan Che froze, feeling annoyed in his heart: This fifth patriarch really turned the matter on me at once, and I didn't say anything, but you are the old man talking about it!

Now his eyes fell on Yan Che, and he couldn't help it. Under Yan Yuanzhao's smiling gaze and everyone's confused eyes, he stood up and said with some hesitation: "Uh, I think what the fifth patriarch said is Let me put an extra fence down the hill, okay?"

Yan Yuanzhao shook his head.

Yan Guoqiang frowned, probably thinking of something.Before Yan Guosheng could calm down, he looked at Yan Che and Yan Yuanzhao, his eyes fell on Liu Jianhua, and Liu Jianhua shook his head.

"The fifth patriarch was worried that if I planted something good on the mountain in the future, the people in Wanli would take advantage of my inattention and go up...uh...uh..." Yan Che couldn't put it bluntly, so he used "uh-uh" in the last words instead.

Yan Yuanzhao nodded, and everyone suddenly realized.

Yan Guoqiang turned his head to look at Yan Yuanzhao, his brows deepened: "Fifth Grandpa, then, what do you say?"

Yan Yuanzhao looked at Yan Guoqiang, then at Yan Che for a while, and when a few men remembered to speak out, he felt that Guan Zi had sold enough, took another sip of corn wine, and put down the bowl: "Little San'er said to go to the fence, definitely No. Let alone guarding against people with evil intentions, it is not enough to guard against some wild animals. You guys, spend some money and build a fence! I heard that Xiao Saner has kept it for 40 years this time. "

Yan Che nodded, agreeing to the fifth patriarch's suggestion.

"Fifth Grandfather, wouldn't that cost a lot of money?" Yan Guosheng was not happy, but he already knew that Yan Che had spent 40 yuan on the contract for 30 years, so how could he get the rest of the money?

"Tsk, why are you in a hurry? The old man can come up with an idea, didn't he think of this?" Yan Yuanzhao gave Yan Guosheng a sideways glance, continued to look at Yan Che, and said to Yan Guoqiang: "Do you still remember that you have a cousin? The one at Yanzikou. "

Yan Guoqiang nodded.

"Didn't his family specialize in burning red bricks?" Yan Yuanzhao said fiercely with a look of hatred for iron, "And I heard that his grandson is not the cousin who married Dajiang's wife? Go find it."

As soon as Yan Yuanzhao finished speaking, Yan Guoqiang frowned, and raised the corners of his mouth. He scratched the back of his head, showing his yellow teeth: "Hehe, Fifth Grandpa, you still have a way."
