Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Chinese New Year is also simple this year, and there is nothing to prepare for.After eating, Yuan Xia said to Yu Xingyi: "Take you around our county?"

Yu Xingyi readily agreed: "Okay."

Yu Xingyi looked at Yuan Xia who was riding on the bike, and showed an unbelievable expression: "Are you carrying me?"

Yuan Xia raised his eyebrows: "What else? You don't know the way."

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Okay." After speaking, he straddled the back seat of the car.

Suyang County is not big, so there is actually nothing to visit. There is only a wooden pagoda by the riverside that is not known how old it is, which is worth seeing.In the era of material scarcity, there was no money to repair it, and it looked dilapidated, and it had become a dangerous building.

Yuan Xia didn't dare to take Yu Xing up, and only took a few glances below.

Yu Xingyi raised his head and looked at it: "It's a very peculiar building, all of which are made of mortise and tenon structure. It's a pity, I don't know how many years it can be preserved, but it is so dilapidated."

Yuan Xia said: "When I have money in the future, the government will repair it."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "I hope that day will come sooner."

"It will be soon."

Yuan Xia took him to take the ferry again. The river was not narrow, but there was only one reinforced concrete road-rail bridge in the entire county, which was not close to the west of the city. People in the west of the city usually took the ferry if they wanted to cross the river.

The water in the river is extremely clear, with green gleams from the bottom of the river, and you can even see the ostentatious movements of water plants. In this era without excessive industrialization, everything is so primitive and simple.

Yuan Xia knows to cherish everything in front of him, and in another ten or twenty years, it will be impossible to see these things again.

It is almost inevitable that economic development will be at the expense of the environment. Only when it develops can money be spent on environmental governance.

Yu Xing, who was on the opposite side, saw Yuan Xia looking down at Jiang Xin, seeming to be lost in thought, the profile of his face was particularly beautiful, and suddenly remembered something: "I forgot a very important thing."

Yuan Xia came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"

Yu Xingyi said: "I brought my camera here, but I forgot to bring it out. Otherwise, I can take pictures."

Yuan Xia looked at him and gave him a thumbs up: "The rich man."

Yu Xing laughed: "What money is there? My dad's. I like it very much. He left it to me when he left. I have almost disassembled all the machines at home. Only this one survived. I know it is too complicated. Once it’s taken apart, it won’t fit together.”

Yuan Xia couldn't help laughing: "Then we are blessed, take a family portrait for our family tomorrow."

"Photo. There is a roll of film, you can take enough pictures." Yu Xingyi said.

Yuan Xia thought to herself, she must take a photo with him then.

After the boat crossed the river, they unloaded their bicycles and climbed onto the opposite river embankment.

It’s February in the south, it’s already spring, the fields are full of green grass, milk vetch and vegetables, unknown blue and purple flowers are blooming on the edge of the fields, and the crowing of chickens can be heard from the villages by the river far away. It is a bit like Tao Yuanming's artistic conception of "warming and warming a distant village, chickens crowing and mulberry trees".

The two strolled to the nearest village, and were greeted by a peach blossom that had just bloomed its first flower at the entrance of the village.

Yuan Xia suddenly remembered that today is Valentine's Day in the West, and there are peach blossoms to greet her, is this predestined?He couldn't help turning his head to look at Yu Xingyi beside him, it's so nice to be able to walk with him like this.

Yu Xingyi also happened to turn around to look at him, with a warm smile on his face: "I didn't expect the peach blossoms to bloom, it's not Chinese New Year yet."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "It's too late for Chinese New Year this year, the spring has already bloomed."

The two did not enter the village, but returned along the road, standing on the embankment, Yuan Xia saw a small fishing boat, and quickly rolled up the horn with both hands and shouted: "Master, is there any fish?"

He spoke local dialect, with a singing tone, Yu Xingyi heard it for the first time, found it very interesting, and looked at him sideways with a smile.

The people on board did not answer, but rowed the boat towards the river.

Yuan Xia said: "Let's go, there may be fish, buy a fish back, and eat fish at night."

When they got down to the river beach, the fishing boat was almost there, and the white fish in the cabin could already be seen, Yuan Xia said, "There seems to be a lot of fish."

The fisherman stuck his oars into the sand on the river beach, fixed the boat, and asked, "Do you want to buy fish?"

Yuan Xia said, "Yes, what kind of fish are there?"

The fisherman said: "Look, grass carp and carp have their mouths turned up."

Yuan Xia turned her head and asked Yu Xingyi: "What kind of fish do you like to eat?"

Yu Xingyi said, "I can do anything."

Yuan Xia changed the way of asking: "Then how do you like to eat? Steamed, braised or boiled?"

Yu Xingyi asked curiously: "Can you still cook boiled fish?"

Yuan Xia said: "You want to eat boiled fish? Then buy grass carp. Master, I want the biggest grass carp. How much is it?"

The fisherman didn't bring a scale. He looked at the biggest grass carp and said, "This one weighs about four catties. It's fifty cents a catty. You can give me two yuan."

"Can it be cheaper? I'll buy more, and I want that carp too. It's a total of [-] yuan." Yuan Xia pointed to the carp that looked like it weighed about two catties.

The fisherman said: "Okay, you go and pull the grass, and I will string it for you."

Yuan Xia broke off a relatively tough shrub branch from the grass by the river, and the fisherman passed it through the fish's gill shell to his mouth, and handed it to Yuan Xia.

As soon as Yu Xing stretched out his hand to take out the money, Yuan Xia stuffed the fish into his hand: "You hold it for me."

Yu Xing could only catch the fish.

Yuan Xia quickly took out the money and gave it to the fisherman: "Thank you, master."

Yu Xingyi said, "I bought so many fish, can I finish it?"

Yuan Xia said: "Give one to Uncle Ma's family next door, they often take care of our family."

The master drove the boat to the center of the river again, just as the ferry came again, they took the ferry back.

The riverside is close to the agricultural machinery factory, so they sent the fish home first.Then go back to move things, starting tonight, they will not cook in the store.

In the evening, Yuan Xia made a big pot of steaming hot boiled fish, and everyone ate it full of praise.

Yu Xingyi was very surprised by Yuan Xia's cooking skills. This dish is Sichuan cuisine, and he didn't expect Yuan Xia to cook it, and it was very delicious.

Asked where he learned it, Yuan Xia said he learned it from an essay.It was the first time Yu Xingyi knew that he could learn to cook by reading prose.

Li Yuying took a carp from them and gave them a dozen big meat buns in return.

Yuan Xia refused, but had no choice but to accept it: "Thank you, Auntie. I bought a fish for Auntie by the way, but I didn't expect to get a favor from Auntie."

Li Yuying said angrily: "What kind of glory is there? Our family loves fish. It's hard to buy such fresh fish. It should be our glory."

The next day's breakfast will be there, and it can be eaten tomorrow morning after steaming.

After eating, Yuan Xia, Yu Xing and Yuan Dong went to sleep in the store, Yuan Dong looked at the bicycle and said, "Then what should I do, run over?"

Yu Xingyi said: "Of course I will take the car. I will ride, and I can take you two. Dongdong, you sit on the horizontal bar, and Yuanxia, ​​you sit behind."

Yuan Xia pinched the tire of the bicycle, the air was sufficient, and she didn't object: "That depends on how good you are."

These twenty-eight large poles can carry three to four hundred catties, and the three of them add up to less than four hundred catties, so it should be no problem.

Yu Xingyi carried the two of them, and he rode steadily as expected, and said very proudly: "Is my skill okay?"

Yuan Dong sat in the front, laughing with excitement, he had forgotten how long it had been since he had ridden on the front bumper of a bicycle, since Yuan Chun and Chong Yang were born, this throne no longer belonged to him.

Yuan Xia listened to his younger brother's laughter from behind, and felt a sense of happiness spontaneously, this is the life he wants, and those he loves are by his side.

Yu Xingyi looked at the oversized bed that had been put together, he didn't expect to sleep like this, he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that it was solved in this way.

Yuan Xia looked at him with a smile: "You won't get out of bed, will you?"

Yu Xing laughed out loud, "Of course not."

Yuan Dong said: "Then I'll sleep in the middle, I'm afraid of rolling down."

"Okay, you sleep in the middle." Yuan Xia spread two quilts on the bed, he and Yuan Dong put on a quilt, and Yu Xing was alone on the bed.

In fact, he and Yuan Dong built the quilt by themselves, but when Yu Xing came, and the family couldn't find a new quilt, he could only make the same bed with Yuan Dong.

Yu Xingyi said: "You two won't be cold if you cover the quilt together?"

"No, just put a cotton coat on the side." Yuan Xia said.

So all three of them went to bed and sat under the covers to read.It's still early, you can study for a while.

Yuan Dong is reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he has finished flipping through the comics at home, and now he is starting to read novels.

What Yuan Xia read was "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Taking history as a mirror, one can know the ups and downs, and the principles of governing enterprises and countries are similar.

What Yu Xing looked at was the professional books brought back by Yuan Xia. He had read a lot of books on literature and history. During those years when he was in middle school, because of all kinds of sports, he didn't have a good few days of class.

He wandered around, and accidentally found a house with a lot of books, which were stolen by the soldiers from various places. For some reason, they were not destroyed, and no one cared about the piles.He moved a lot of books back and hid them to read secretly. When he was young, he mainly read literature and history books with stories.

He has read a lot, but his basic subjects are not solid. He used it to study mathematics, physics and chemistry in college. Now he mainly makes up for his shortcomings and learns professional knowledge.

Seeing around ten o'clock, Yuan Xia proposed to go to bed. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and he has to get up early to buy groceries. Tomorrow night, he has to make dumplings and watch the night. He needs to recharge his energy.

Yu Xingyi covered some of his quilt towards Yuandong: "I'll give you some quilt."

Yuan Xia said: "Your quilt is stretched like this, it is easy to catch the wind, and you will not be able to sleep warmly. You should tuck it up. Just put your coat on Dongdong's body."

As soon as Yu Xing felt it made sense, he put his thick coat on Yuan Dong's body and said to Yuan Xia, "Is there any problem with you?"

"No problem, let's go to sleep." Yuan Xia went to turn off the light, and got into the bed and lay down. The quilt was a little narrow, but it could barely cover it.

After lying down, Yu Xingyi didn't feel sleepy yet, and started talking with Yuan Xiaye.

Yuan Xia couldn't sleep either, so the two started chatting, talking a lot about things about their childhood, their family, books they've read, future plans, etc., but they all agreed not to talk about the opposite sex.

Yuan Xia is not interested in the opposite sex, while Yu Xingyi is being troubled by the opposite sex, which makes him a little annoyed, and he came to Suyang to escape and relax, so naturally he doesn't want to talk about this annoying matter.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi woke up at the same time early in the morning.

Yu Xingyi thought that he might not be able to sleep well when he just arrived in a new place, but he slept soundly and slept until dawn.

Yuan Dong still doesn't want to wake up and wants to stay in bed.

Yuan Xia didn't urge him, and said: "Xing Yi and I went to the market, you woke up and folded the quilt, and then walked back."

Yuan Dong gave a dazed "hmm" and continued to sleep without moving.

It's been a busy day.

Going to the market in the morning to buy vegetables, mainly fish and vegetables, Yuan Xia bought some red paper by the way, ready to go back and write couplets, and said to Yu Xingyi, "You write." He knew that Yu Xingyi was good at calligraphy .

Yu Xingyi said: "No problem, I'll take care of it."

After returning, after breakfast, we began to prepare for the New Year.Kill chickens and ducks, write Spring Festival couplets, chop meat with noodles, and stew meat.

This is probably the case in every household, and the entire dormitory building is surrounded by a strong smell of meat.Everyone is working in the corridor, chatting with each other at the top of their voices, all laughing and laughing, so lively, this is the strong flavor of the New Year.

The children set off firecrackers downstairs, even going to Chongyang Festival. Yu Xingyi bought the firecrackers for him.

Yuan Xia said angrily: "Why are you buying firecrackers for him? They will go away after a sound, and it's not safe."

Yu Xingyi chuckled: "It's okay, I asked him to light the fire with a long wooden stick, it won't blow up."

Yuan Xia didn't forcibly forbid it, after all, he also came at that age, how many little boys don't like to set off firecrackers?

My father passed away last year, and the couplets were not posted at home. This year, the couplets were reposted.

What Yu Xingyi wrote to them was not the traditional couplets, he made them up himself, and they were all very suitable for the occasion. There were auspicious words written on the big red paper, which was very interesting to read, and foreshadowed the prosperity of the coming year.

The neighbors saw that Yu Xingyi wrote well with a calligraphy brush, and several families brought their own red paper to ask for Spring Festival couplets, and Yu Xing wrote them one by one as required.

Not only did Yuan Xia's family put up couplets, but the bookstore also posted Spring Festival couplets.

Yuanxia and Yuanqiu were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. The dinner was very sumptuous, including steamed chicken, steamed braised pork, braised fish, fried cured duck, a vegetable and a dish of shredded sweet potato.

Not only the grandfather, younger siblings, but also Yu Xingyi was shocked: "You know a lot of tricks." Speaking of which, there are not many types, just the ingredients at home, but every dish is made with great care and uniqueness.

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "It's the first time that the Chinese New Year is so rich, thank you Xingyi for coming to celebrate the New Year with us, it not only adds to the excitement, but also enriches our dining table. Let's toast together to celebrate the successful end of the old year and welcome the happy new year." arrival!"

Everyone enthusiastically raised their wine glasses, and the wine was also brought by Yu Xingyi. Grandpa, Yu Xingyi and Yuan Xia all drank, and the others drank boiled water.

The two most popular dishes are steamed braised pork and shredded sweet potato: the braised pork is fat enough to meet the current popular taste; the shredded sweet potato is sweet and fresh enough to be loved by the elderly and children.

Who doesn't like something sweet.Even Yu Xingyi, who claimed that he didn't like sweets very much, ate two pieces.

After dinner, Yuan Dong turned on the radio, and the whole family listened to the radio and gathered together to make dumplings.The noodles and fillings are prepared during the day, so just pack them now.

Yu Xingyi is from the south, he has never made dumplings before, so he thought it was very interesting.It's the right time to come to Yuanxia's house for the New Year. Everyone loves each other and doesn't treat themselves as outsiders, just like their elder brother. This is how the New Year should be lively.

Yu Xingyi's lonely heart was warmed by Yuan Xia and his family, and the desolate heart began to sprout green new shoots.

Yuanxia prepared coins, red dates and peanuts and stuffed them into dumplings, indicating that those who eat coins are the most blessed people. Eating red dates will make a fortune in the coming year, and eating peanuts means health and longevity.

When eating dumplings, everyone is impatient to see what they can eat.

Grandpa and Yuan Dong ate peanut fillings, Yu Xingyi and Yuan Xia both ate red date fillings, and the three coin fillings were eaten by Yuan Qiu, Yuan Chun and Chongyang respectively.

The family is full of blessings and very happy.

This year was one of the most profound in Yu Xingyi's memory, and it was also the most ceremonial one.

He also got the New Year's money from Yuande Houbao. Although it was only [-] cents, he was full of affection: "If you are not married, you are still a child, and you will be taken care of by your parents and elders."

Of course, Yu Xingyi also sent red envelopes to the Yuan Xia brothers and sisters, the reason being that he joined the work, this was to encourage the younger brothers and sisters to study hard, and to buy stationery.

The younger brothers and sisters cheered excitedly when they received the brand-new one-yuan note from him. Brother Yu is so kind and generous. For one dollar, they have never had so much money of their own.

Yuan Xia said: "You don't have to hand in the New Year's money, you can keep it yourself. If you are afraid that you can't manage it well, you can hand it over to grandpa for safekeeping. But you have to keep an account for every penny spent, and see where the money is spent in the end. Does it make sense?"

The brothers and sisters nodded and said in unison: "Got it!"

Yu Xingyi looked at Yuan Xia and smiled, Yuan Xia looked up at him, looked at him and smiled, Yu Xing gave him a thumbs up, really like a big brother.

Yu Xingyi took many precious moments with his camera, the whole family group photo, brothers and sisters group photo, brothers group photo, sisters group photo, brother and grandpa, sister and grandpa, and individual photos of everyone.

They also taught Yuan Dong to take pictures, and took a few group photos of Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi.

They also took a group photo of Uncle Ma's family, Ma Anmin and his wife, Ma Jianshe's brother and sister, Yuan Xia and Ma Jianshe, and their children.

Ma Jianshe took a group photo of Yu Xingyi, Yuan Xia's family, and Yuan Xia's siblings.

There are all kinds of combinations. In short, I used up more than [-] film rolls.

On the third day of junior high school, Yu Xingyi reluctantly bid farewell to Yuan Xia at the station, boarded the train back, and was supposed to go to work tomorrow, Fu Sheng had a few days of leisure, and finally had to return to the tedious life.

Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Yuan Xia comforted him: "It's not far away, and you can come and play anytime during the holidays. Let's come again next year for the New Year."

Yu Xingyi looked at Yuan Xia and nodded: "Okay. You should go back to school early, and come find me when you go back to school."

"Okay, I'll find you when I go back to school. Have a good trip! You can write to me when you go back." Yuan Xia said.

"Okay, I'll write it when I get back." Yu Xing agreed and disappeared into the carriage.
