Although Qingshui Village is not rich, it has a large population and a large area.The entire village is in the shape of a Chinese character, separated by a small river from the outside to the inside, and divided into inner and outer villages. The village committee compound is in the outer village not far from the village, surrounded by an ancient ancestral hall in the middle.Most of the people in the village have the surname Jia, and they are all relatives. I heard that the Jia family used to go to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices every solar term. However, one year the two Jia families quarreled and their relationship broke down. Gradually put aside, coupled with the increase in marriages with other villages, the clan atmosphere in Qingshui Village has become much thinner.

When I went to Phoenix Mountain yesterday, I was taken by Wang Chu and passed directly through the outer village. In the afternoon, I didn’t take two steps and was dragged into the home of a fellow villager. Xue Wenyuan really has never seen the whole picture of Qingshui Village.Walking on the small bridge that separates the inner and outer areas, the huts with white walls and black tiles and small windows in the inner village make people feel as if they have entered the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River.Although these houses are also old and dilapidated, and some white walls are even covered with moss, but compared with the surrounding civil-built houses, these brick and tile houses look much more advanced.

"I found out yesterday that the houses in the outer villages are generally small buildings, and the houses are very high. I thought this was a characteristic of Qingshui Village. Why are the houses here lower than the houses outside? Generally speaking, they shouldn't be higher Is it?" Xue Wenyuan asked while standing on the finely carved wooden bridge, looking around.

The sky is blue, the water is green, the bridge is plain, the walls are white, the tiles are white, and the sun is lonely.In this picture scroll, Xue Wenyuan, who added a jacket, sneakers and jeans, ruined the beauty, but ignoring his attire, with a handsome figure and a look of sadness in his eyes, he is more attractive than this beauty.

Xue Wenyuan felt a little moody and angry. Except for the temper tantrum with the children in the morning, most of the time he smiled gently, approachable, warm and generous.However, in just one day, he did a lot of things for Wang Chu, which made Wang Chu feel like he was overwhelmed, and couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

Wang Chu stepped onto the wooden bridge, and slid his fingers across the carved patterns on the wooden bridge. The smooth and delicate texture made the simple wooden bridge bloom with blossoming peonies. The village is a rich family surnamed Jia who fled. It must have been a troubled time, so they chose this remote place to avoid military disasters. The outer houses are higher than the inner ones so that passers-by can't see the prosperity of Qingshui Village. Our village committee compound was built recently, and it is the shortest building in the outer village. There are tall turrets in the four corners of the village. I will take you to see it when I have time. But hundreds of years have passed, and there is really no wealth here. ..."

While the two were talking, a puppy ran out from nowhere and circled around the two of them.In the countryside, it is not uncommon to keep dogs. In Qingshui Village, you can hear dogs barking all the time.But this little dog is covered in snow, with a ring of black hair on the top of its head. It is not big in size. It is also wearing a red vest. It is clean and cute. It seems that the owner takes care of it very hard. It is common to use dogs to watch the door. It is rare to find a village that is not well cleaned up.

Xue Wenyuan felt strange and bent down to look.Strange to say, one is resolute and the other soft, but the combination of a handsome man and a cute pet can always collide with warmth, making the onlookers couldn't help but smile knowingly.Watching this scene, Wang Chu felt that love was overflowing and at the same time he felt a headache.Because the dog's owner is the person Wang Chu least wants Xue Wenyuan to meet.

But what should come will always come.

"Xiaobai!" With a soft voice, the puppy ran to the source of the sound, and a woman picked it up.This woman is in her thirties, she can't be called beautiful, her skin is fair but rough, her lips are plump but too large, her eyes are bright but slightly small.She was wearing a black T-shirt with a large neckline revealing two arcs of spring, paired with trousers of the same color, and a tight-fitting design to extrude a plump figure.She was covered with a light peach red shirt, her mouth was painted with red rouge, her breasts and buttocks, and her flaming red lips. Although she could not be called a delicate beauty, her overflowing amorous feelings kept arousing the most primitive impulses of men.

Seeing that Xue Wenyuan was looking at her, the woman smiled at Xue Wenyuan: "This is the big boss who came to our village. My house is next to Lang Bridge. Come and play when you have time!" It was just an ordinary polite sentence, but she It is full of provocation when it is said, which makes people think about it.

Wang Chu hurriedly said: "Aunt Lian, stop joking... Daxue, let's go first!" Then he went to pull Xue Wenyuan.The woman called Aunt Lian laughed again: "How many times have I said, just call me Sister Lian. Why is Brother Xiao Chu always afraid of my appearance? Am I a tiger?"

Women in their 30s are not very old, and they have a charm that little girls don't have. They are the best age for women. It seems unreasonable.Wang Chu was thin-skinned and young, so he blushed immediately, and he didn't dare to say anything else. He pulled Xue Wenyuan away and left, leaving only the laughter of the woman behind him echoing in the village alley.

"That is?"

Wang Chu sighed: "That is Dashu's mother, who opened a small store in the village, and the reputation is not very good..."

Xue Wenyuan couldn't help but look back again. He thought that Jia Dashu's mother was a rural woman who suffered from persecution and hatred. Looking at it now... Although appearance does not determine anything, Xue Wenyuan still has a new understanding of this story. idea.

Leaving aside this paragraph, Wang Chu took Xue Wenyuan to Neicun to have a look.Compared with the outer village, the inner village has fewer houses, occupies a larger area, is more pleasing to the eye, and is of better quality.However, there are some newly built modern houses in the outer villages, which are almost none in the inner villages.The houses in the inner village are getting bigger and bigger as you go in. The inner and outer courtyards of the houses near the ancestral hall are tightly surrounded by low-rise walls. Only the flying corners of the roofs of the houses can detect the shadows of wealthy businessmen. .

Xue Wenyuan looked at the courtyard in amazement: "Is there anyone still living here? Can you go in and have a look?"

Wang Chu shook his head: "This house belongs to the head of the Jia family. I heard from Jia Zhishu that there was a lot of noise outside in the past, but because Qingshui Village was very remote, no one came to take over it at that time, and the Jia family was very nervous. It was low-key, so nothing happened. Later, the government began to protect private property again, and this house was still their ancestral home. But this family no longer lives here, and it is said that they all moved to the city.

You should also be able to see that in the past, people in the inner village had a higher status than those in the outer village, and their families were also rich.It is said that at the beginning, there were rules in Qingshui Village, no one was allowed to leave the village.After a long time, people in the inner village can go out to make a living, but people in the outer village can't leave, they want to stay here for generations.Of course, there are no such rules now, but the people in the inner village have the backing of their families, and there are quite a few people who have achieved a little success in the outside world.If your great-grandfather is from Qingshui Village, then he must be from Nei Village! "

Xue Wenyuan smiled, did not speak, and asked instead: "Then the people from their inner village don't come back to help the village?"

Wang Chu shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, but it's much easier to take the family out than to build Qingshui Village. After all, the objective conditions of Qingshui Village are there..." Wang Chu stopped suddenly, and cautiously Looking at Xue Wenyuan, "But in fact, there are quite a lot of good things here... You can still make money if you work hard..."

Xue Wenyuan was amused by Wang Chu's pitiful appearance, turned around and asked him, "You said we are already familiar, I think we can be called friends, right?"

Wang Chu nodded obediently.

"Then let me ask you, tell me the truth, what do you think of the contract? Do you want me to sign the contract?"

Wang Chu lowered his head again, and wrung his hands for a long time before saying: "I think that the Jia family chose to settle here, which shows that this place is really good. Our Phoenix Mountain is very fertile, and what we plant grows. We farm in Qingshui Village. The field is not as good as other villages, but the harvest can reach about double that of theirs. And you can see that the trees on Fenghuang Mountain are lush and lush, except that no one cuts them down, and they grow fast. I heard that they will throw some fruit cores on the mountain to rank Almost one-third of them will germinate in two years. But as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The roads in Qingshui Village are indeed a big problem.

In the past, when we wanted to do poverty alleviation development, the county chose a pilot project. Because the roads in Qingshui Village were not good, we chose Fenghuang Village, which is next door with more developed traffic.Qingshui Village now only has the small road built during the village-to-village project, which is the one you took when you came here.But the path is too narrow and has been in disrepair for a long time. After I came here, I applied to the town several times, and Jia Zhishu discussed with the village before it was repaired. Otherwise, when you come in, you may decide to leave.The village also wants to build roads and ask everyone to donate money, but those who have no money cannot afford it, and those who have money are all outside, so there is no need to donate money.The patriarch's family in Nei Village is willing to donate [-] yuan, and several others have also contributed money, but this road needs to be repaired for more than ten kilometers. I don't know much about engineering from a liberal arts background. not enough……"

Xue Wenyuan nodded: "I know this. Do you want me to sign the contract?"

"Of course I hope! First, I am the village cadre here, so I certainly hope that the village will be better. Second," Wang Chu looked up at Xue Wenyuan, then looked back at the Shenshen courtyard and the faintly exposed turrets of the outer village , "It's really good here, Jia Zhishu is also very good, Aunt Hao is also very good, and Dashu, smile at them. But here, I am always an outsider. If you are here, then I will feel more at ease gone."

Wang Chu's eyes were dark and bright, and when he said this, he reflected the corner of Qingshui Village, making the already beautiful small village a layer of water color, so distant and gentle, yet so ethereal and sad.Xue Wenyuan felt that he was going to fall in love with Qingshui Village in Wang Chu's eyes.He can't wait to find Jia Zhishu right now, sign the contract, and take root in Qingshui Village to make it a truly beautiful place.

But he is a businessman after all, impulsiveness has never been his choice.He just reached out and touched Wang Chu's head. The soft touch made Xue Wenyuan realize again that this is a big boy with responsibility and perseverance. In the near future, he will grow into an indomitable man. Money has no power, and there is nothing worthy of worldly worship, but he has what Xue Wenyuan yearns for and cherishes most-the heart of a child.
