Good mountains, good water, good people

"The tofu flower at their house still tastes the same as the one I ate when I was a child."

"It's all the craftsmanship of their old Liu's family. Can it be different? Their old Liu's family has made tofu flower for several generations. The old neighbors in our area want to eat tofu flower at their house. If you think about it in the future To eat their tofu flower, I still have to come back to eat."

The grandpa and grandson each ate a bowl of tofu flower in the store. When they went out, Qin You gave the money. One bowl of tofu cost three yuan, and two bowls gave six yuan. He scanned the code with his mobile phone and the payment was successful. .

"Oh, there's no need to pay for this... Mr. Qin, whenever you want to eat tofu flowers, come to our store." The owner of the store shouted after sending them out.

"Okay, good business." Grandpa Qin waved to the boss and took his grandson out.

When going down the steps, Qin You stretched out his hand to support his grandfather's arm, and then withdrew his hand when the two of them got down, and walked slowly beside the old man, talking about his childhood, "I still remember my little At that time, the tofu flower here was only [-] cents a bowl, but now it sells for [-] yuan."

Grandpa Qin laughed when he heard his grandson's words, "When you ate it, it cost [-] cents, but when your father ate it, it was only [-] cents, and you could buy a big bowl of tofu flowers for [-] cents. The one in the shop is still opened by Mr. Liu’s grandfather, Lao Liu..."

"I heard that Lao Liu was hospitalized some time ago, and the tumor was found to be in the advanced stage. Hey, the doctor didn't treat well, and he passed away soon." Speaking of the latter part, Grandpa Qin's face no longer smiled, a little Sad, all the old guys I knew on this street have left one by one.

Noticing the sadness on their old man's face, they happened to pass by a bun shop, Qin You changed the subject and said: "There is also this bun shop, I remember I also liked to eat their buns when I was young." But now the bun shop It's closed, the bun shop only does business in the morning, and it closes at noon, so it's not open yet.

"Hey, when you were young, you were not picky eaters. You were easy to feed. You could eat whatever was given to you. It was the same as when your father was a child. When your father was a child, life was poor at that time. Your grandma and I were both teachers, and each of us was a teacher every month. There is still a little salary to get, and there is still a mouthful of food for the family. At that time, your grandfather and grandma will still be there... Now the two elders have been gone for many years, and your grandma has also been away for many years..."

"Grandpa, don't be sad, don't you still have me here? I'll be with you."

"Hehe, you are a good boy. Grandpa has a grandson like you. It is a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation."

The grandpa and grandson walked slowly, chatting about the old shops and old people on this street, and talking about their past.Qin You slowed down and followed the old man, listening to the old man chatting with him, felt that this was also a kind of happiness, this relative who loved him was still by his side.

***

After Professor Li and his party left their village, their village returned to its former peace, and the life of the people in the village remained the same.In the past, the old people in the village liked to chat under the old tree at the entrance of the village, but now everyone likes to gather under the tree in the back mountain, talk and chat together, and look at the group of piglets in the village head's pigpen.

After the adults went to the back mountain, the children in the village also liked to go there to play.

Working in the back mountain until the afternoon, Gu Changning told his family and drove to the town to pick up the courier. After getting the courier, he remembered that his hair was a bit long, so he found a barber shop on the side of the road and wanted to go in. Get a haircut.As soon as the car stopped at the door of the barbershop, before entering the door, I heard the young girl's enthusiastic voice, "Does the handsome guy want to wash or cut his hair?"

"Cut your hair." Gu Changning said as he walked in.

"Come over here and wash your hair first." The younger sister led him inside.

"Come and wash it for me." Gu Changning saw the little brother sitting over there, so he asked another boy to come and wash him, otherwise he always felt that asking the little girl to wash his hair was taking advantage of others. Yes, even though it's someone else's job.

Hearing that he wanted the little brother to wash his hair, the little girl went down, and another boy came over to wash him.

"Shampoo your hair?"

"Correct."

The little brother put a towel on the guest's neck and said, "The handsome guy can lie down now."

"Hurry up and wash it, just rinse it with water." If it wasn't for the long hair that needs to be repaired, Gu Changning would really not like to come to the hair salon. First, he doesn't like strangers touching him, and second, he doesn't like being in the hair salon very much. Something that is shared by all.

But considering the speed of his hair growth, he will have to cut his hair every two months at most. The last time was before he came back, and he forgot when he had his hair cut.

It took less than 2 minutes to wash his hair after lying down. He took the towel and wiped his hair. Then he sat in front of the mirror and waited for Mr. Tony to cut his hair.

Seeing in the mirror a man with fried hair and a hairstyle similar to that of Monkey King in the anime, Gu Changning was surprised. Who is this homeless man?Could it be himself?No, no, no...

But it was a pity that Teacher Tony's voice brought him back to reality in the next second.

"The handsome guy cuts his hair, right? What kind of hairstyle do you want?" Teacher Tony took a piece of cloth around the guest, found a pair of scissors and a comb from the cart, and helped the guest comb their hair with the comb.

"Just cut it short, and cut the front, back, left and right sides shorter."

Mr. Tony picked up the scissors and started cutting. After a while, he asked the guest: "Do you think this length is okay?"

"It's a bit longer, and it's shorter." To save him from going out to cut his hair again soon.

"It doesn't look good any shorter."

"It's okay, stay for a long time."

Gu Changning doesn't have too many requirements for her hair, the only two are: not ugly, and being able to meet people.

Although the customer asked to cut it shorter, it is obvious that Mr. Tony also has his insistence, and he tried to take an intermediate value between short cutting and good-looking, which not only meets the customer's requirements but also does not smash their shop's signboard.

One hair was cut for about 10 minutes. After the cut, Gu Changning could barely accept his new hairstyle... because even if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't go back to the original one. After all, he still asked Mr. Tony to cut it. of.Fortunately, no one in the village will stare at his head. Whether it looks good or not, no one will look at it anyway, so there is nothing to care about.

After paying the money, he went out from the barber shop. When he got on his father's motorcycle, he took a picture in the mirror, took out his mobile phone and took a selfie, and looked at himself in the photo for a moment before putting it away. The mobile phone, filled up a handful of gas, turned on the motorcycle and left.

The buzzing sound of motorcycles came all the way back to the village from the outside. It happened to be the time when the primary school in the village was out of school, and there were many children on the road carrying schoolbags.

Gu Changning basically knew all the children in the village, and these children also knew him. Some of them called him uncle and some called him brother when they saw him.But according to his age, it is indeed the grade where children call him uncle, so in the past two years, he has been shocked by being called uncle at the beginning, and now he is used to it.

"Uncle, have you gone outside?"

"Yeah, you are all over from school, go home and don't run around."

When the children on the road called him, Gu Changning would also respond to the children, and even greeted the adults he met on the road, and drove the motorcycle back to their home.

At this point, his mother should be cooking in the kitchen, and his grandfather and father should still not come back from the back mountain.But his great-grandmother didn't see him sitting at the door, the old sheep was still there, the old lady probably went into the house, most likely went to the kitchen to help his grandmother with work.

He drove the car into the yard, parked the motorcycle, and brought down the things he bought. In addition to the express delivery, there were also things he went to the supermarket to buy. The things in the kitchen had to be taken to his mother. Gu Changning could almost I can imagine his mother's expression when she saw him carrying a big bag of things in.

"I'm back, why did you bring so many things back?" Gu's mother was cooking in the kitchen when she heard the sound of the motorcycle coming back. Seeing the big bag in her son's hand, she knew that he was running out of town again. I went shopping.

Seeing the hair cut by her son, Gu's mother was taken aback, and asked, "Why did you cut your hair so short?"

"Is it short? It's okay, if it's long, it will be long." Gu Changning reached out and stroked his hair, and handed the bag in his hand to his mother, "This is something used in the kitchen, you pack it up."

Seeing the old lady sitting in front of the stove watching the fire, Gu Changning yelled, "Tai Nai, you are here to help grandma set the fire, so I told you where you went."

"Ah, yes, watching the fire." Hearing his great-grandson calling him, the old lady grinned toothlessly, her eyes narrowed.

Gu Changning said a few words to his grandmother, and then asked his mother, "Do you want me to help?"

"I don't need you, go do your own thing, and call your grandma and your father to come back for dinner later." Gu's mother is packing the two big bags brought by her son. Heap, I really don't know how this son can buy it so much.

But after my son came home, they basically didn't need to buy the food and supplies in the kitchen, and there were still a lot of unused ones.

"Don't buy dish soap next time you go to the supermarket, there are still two bottles at home."

"Oh, I saw their dishwashing liquid at the door, and I took it by hand when I went out, and I won't buy it next time." Seeing that there was nothing in the kitchen that needed his help, Gu Changning brought the things over to him. His mother went out.

Seeing her son walking away, Mother Gu couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, and said, "This child..."

After returning home and putting away his things, Gu Changning drove his father's motorcycle and went out again, heading towards the back mountain.
