Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"Soon!"

The guide pointed: "Over there is Team 6 of Shimo Village, which is where you are going."

"where?"

Not to mention Luo Yugang, even Xiao Shuping didn't see where the village was.

"Your eyes... forget it, you can see it when you turn a corner later. Hey, I didn't expect that after so many years, a lot of changes have happened here. All these trees have been planted."

The guide had obviously not been here for a long time. Seeing Team Six at this time, he suddenly felt a little strange.

"Hey, hey!"

Suddenly the guide shouted, which startled Xiao Shuping and Luo Yugang.

"Folks, where are you going?"

The guide spotted a boat going upstream in the river below, so he shouted loudly at the boat.

Hearing that there was someone on the mountain, the boatman looked in the direction of the sound. He soon spotted the three of them, and began to respond at the top of his lungs.

"Go to Team 6's plane. Which one are you?"

When the guide announced his home address, the boatman immediately smiled and started talking: "My cousin married your Zhuangzi! Her name is...".

"Oh, what a coincidence. Is your cousin's name Wang Sanfeng? Her family lives near ours, just two families away." The guide shouted happily when he heard this.

"What a coincidence!"

Just like that, they started chatting for a while. When the guide took Xiao Shuping and Luo Yugang down the mountain, the boatman had already docked the boat.

The three of them got on the boat, and the boatman continued to hold the boat upstream.

The boatman and the guide chatted for a while, maybe feeling that they were being left out, so they started chatting with Xiao Shuping and Luo Yugang again.

"You two are not locals, are you?" the boatman asked.

"No, we are all from the north," Xiao Shuping said, "I came here on business."

"Come to the Sixth Team on business? Isn't it a matter of plane?" The boatman became nervous upon hearing this.

Luo Yugang was a little confused as to what the plane was, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What plane is it?"

"Oh, no, that's fine. I thought the government was going to Team 6 to engage in capitalist matters." The boatman was obviously relieved when he spoke.

Xiao Shuping asked curiously: "Why, you don't want to do the machine work in the Sixth Team?"

"I don't think about it, I really think about it. Ever since there was a machine room here in the Sixth Team, I have never been to the town. Those people are such a big deal." The boatman mentioned the machine room in the town. He immediately gritted his teeth.

But when Xiao Shuping asked again, the boatman stopped answering.

Xiao Shuping also understood that the boatman regarded the two of them as public servants, so he did not say anything further.

Xiao Shuping is not an aloof from the world. He has been at the grassroots level. He has seen all kinds of bad things. He knows the general meaning of things like this without even thinking about it.

If we don’t talk about the machine, we naturally want to talk about something else.

The boatman asked the guide Lao Chen: "I heard that the brigade secretary here in Shimo is going to be changed?"

"Who told you?" The guide Lao Chen was a little confused after hearing this. How could I not know something that you already know? You know, I live in a town.

"Didn't you tell me who was transferred to the third team?" the boatman said.

The guide asked: "What did the original Wei Changzheng do? Retired?" asked the guide Lao Chen.

"Didn't you say that he was transferred to the village? It seems that he was in charge of the grain station in the village."

"The grain station has changed people, but his surname is not Wei, but Li. His hometown is Zhangwei Village. I didn't hear that Wei's disciple would come to the village. Besides, he is not in line with the core. He is a big boss and a rough man. He is not good at fighting. He knows a lot..." said the guide Lao Chen.

Xiao Shuping saw that the two of them were chatting interestingly, so he just sat and listened with a smile.

"Village, village!"

Luo Yugang felt bored and had no interest in these things at all, so he turned his head and looked around.

Beautiful view?

Beautiful scenery. There are mountains on both sides of the river. There are not many undulations. If it were placed elsewhere, the mountain tops would be full of green trees, but here there are only a few small trees, and many places are covered with white flowers. The rocks look a bit dazzling under the sun.

Finally he saw a house, a series of houses, so Luo Yugang felt that his hard life was finally coming to an end.

Unexpectedly, before he was happy for a long time, the guide said: "That's not Zhuangzi, it's the quarry here! But it's almost there, we'll be there in about twenty minutes."

The boatman said: "It's no use. Once we turn around the mouth of the gorge, the water will be wider and the water will be relatively gentle. The boat will be easy to support and we will arrive in about a quarter of an hour."

After hearing this, Luo Yugang felt how much difference could there be between a quarter of an hour and about twenty minutes?

But he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he sat on the boat, hugging his knees in boredom, and continued to look around blindly.

Xiao Shuping looked at the surrounding mountains and asked, "Why are the mountains here becoming more and more bald?"

"You don't know, this place used to be a lumber camp, and it only became like this in the past few years. There used to be trees on these mountains, and the small ones were as thick as this..."

The boatman gestured here and said: "They were all cut down, and I heard they were sold abroad. Alas, the trees that our ancestors left behind for hundreds of years were just cut down and sold."

Xiao Shuping didn't say anything here. Unlike some people in the country, he had seen the outside world and knew the significance of trees to the ecological environment. However, others talked lightly, and the country was now very poor. It was not necessary to buy machines or something like that. Short of money?

Where does the money come from? Don't you have to sell some resources in exchange?

While chatting, the boat sailed out of the canyon.

Once out of the canyon, the view suddenly became much wider, and the sixth team was clearly in everyone's sight at this time.

"That's Team Six."

When Luo Yugang saw it, he was greatly disappointed. He originally thought that if he was sent here to make contact, the village must look like a village no matter what.

But now, what do you see?

A dilapidated village, not even a decent good house, all with mud walls and thatched roofs, and the houses are not high. With such living conditions, Luo Yugang can't help but wonder whether the higher-ups have made a mistake. This poor person There will be something good in the place!

The boat arrived at the village and stopped at the door of the engine room. The anchor on the bow was thrown down, and the boatman motioned for several people to go ashore.

"No, no, I can do it myself. You are not the ones doing the work either."

When the boatman saw that Xiao Shuping wanted to help him carry the food on the boat, he smiled and said.

Xiao Shuping didn't hesitate, he directly lifted up a sack, crossed his legs and bent over, used both hands to pull the sack up from the ground, and with a little more strength from his waist and abdomen, he was able to carry half the sack of grain. To the shoulder.

When the boatman saw it, he was surprised and praised: "It's really obvious. I didn't expect you to be able to carry a bag of grain."

Xiao Shuping wanted to say something else, but he had no choice but to say it, because he knew that if he let go and let out the breath he was holding, the food would have to be thrown to the ground.

After carefully getting off the boat and arriving at the door of the aircraft room, Xiao Shuping put down the sack on his shoulder.

When the sack was put down, Xiao Shuping's face looked like a monkey's butt.

"Thanks!"

Pretending to be calm, Xiao Shuping thanked the boatman.

"It's okay. Just ask whoever you want for the incidental matter," the boatman reminded politely again.

Xiao Shuping was anxious to ask someone who hadn't come yet, but Luo Yugang had already caught a kid over there.

"Kid! Kid, come on, come on, uncle will give you candy."

As he spoke, Luo Yugang took out a candy from his pocket, held it in his hand and said with a smile to the child who was coming towards him.

"What candy?"

The child asked Luo Yugang.

"It's just candy!" Luo Yugang thought that the child had never seen the candy in his hand.

What Luo Yugang was holding was a kind of crispy candy. This kind of candy was only popular in a small area, and Luo Yugang's father was born there, so this was the kind of candy Luo Yugang ate.

"I know the candy I eat. I'm asking you where this candy comes from and how it tastes." The little boy tilted his head and looked at Luo Yugang cutely.

Luo Yugang really didn't expect that a child could ask such a question, so he said: "Anyway, as long as you can eat it!"

"You are really worthless. You have been holding a candy in your hand for a long time. If you want to give it to you, I will give it to you. If you don't want to give it to you, I won't give it to you." The little boy said a little impatiently.

Luo Yugang was a little confused, looked at the little kid and smiled: "Hey!"

When the little boy heard this, he left immediately.

Luo Yugang grabbed the little boy and said with a smile: "Here you are, here you are! Why are you so stubborn at such a young age?"

Unexpectedly, the little kid didn't ask for it. He shook his head and said seriously: "I don't eat sweets. I don't eat any sweets."

This made Luo Yugang a little crazy. He felt that the little kid in front of him really deserved a beating.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked around.

The little kid looked at him: "What are you looking around for? Are you here to steal something?"

Luo Yugang's face turned dark now.

Xiao Shuping next to him kept watching, almost unable to hold back his joy.

"Kid, let's look for...kid, let me guess, your surname is Gu, right?"

Xiao Shuping looked at the boy. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the boy's features looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he found that the boy in front of him looked like his mother-in-law who was still alive. .

The little guy looked at Xiao Shuping and said, "You guessed it right. Here, I'll give you a piece of candy!"

With that said, the little guy took the candy from Luo Yugang's hand and gestured towards Xiao Shuping.

"Hey, this kid is smart!"

At this time, Luo Yugang liked the child more and more the more he looked at it, so he said with a smile.

"Can you take me to your house? I have something to do with your father," Xiao Shuping said.

After hearing this, the little boy nodded and said, "Follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took up his calves and trotted forward.

Luo Yugang and Xiao Shuping looked at each other and followed.
