It looked like it was still noon, so I called my family and told them that I was going to stay for a few days during the holidays.
Jianghua's family is in the mountains of Qinling Mountains. Enter the mountain from National Highway 201, pass the Grand View Garden parking lot, cross the bridge and walk straight in along the cement road. You will arrive at Yong'an Village. Jianghua's family is located in the innermost part of the village.
According to village records and rumors, Yong'an Village existed not long ago. It was at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that Jiang Hua's ancestors and some relatives and friends moved to such a ravine.
There are more than 30 households in Yong'an Village. Because there used to be a barrier lake upstream, the lake water has been released. The lake water washed away the silt and flowed down from the upstream, forming the entire fertile land where Yong'an Village is located. The villages are relatively concentrated in the flat terrain, located next to the river.
Pack your things, get on the bus to the foot of the mountain, take the shuttle bus into the mountain to the parking lot of Grand View Garden, and then walk into the mountain towards the village.
Nowadays, the economy is developing rapidly. Through the village-to-village access project, Yong'an Village has also been connected to roads, making it much easier to enter and exit.
After walking about two miles, we arrived at the village. Looking at the familiar streets, we occasionally saw familiar villagers saying hello and saying "I'm back."
Walking to the door of his house at the end of the village, he felt a little nostalgic. Although he had only come back once last month, Jiang Hua had stayed in the world of special forces for a full year.
Say hello to your parents, and then pick up the fried noodles that your mother has prepared.
People in rural areas are not very good at expressing emotions. Every time Jiang Hua comes back, he just says hello to his father and eats the food cooked by his mother. This is very satisfying, and he feels like he is home.
The yard of Jianghua's house is not big either. There is a large tile-roofed house in front, and then a yard. I usually enjoy the cool air here because there is a big locust tree planted on one side of the yard, and there is a whole piece of land next to it to dry some things. There are several jujube trees planted beside the wall. There is a two-story bungalow in the yard. The first floor is the living room, parents' room, kitchen, bathroom, and utility room. Jianghua lives on the second floor, and there are several empty rooms. When guests come, the bed boards are propped up and used as a guest room.
The bungalow was only built last year. In the past, my father went out to work to earn money to support the family. It was not until Jianghua graduated and went to work that the tile-roofed house inside was converted into a bungalow last year.
There is a yard behind the bungalow, where the family's daily vegetables are grown.
Now my family's fields are only planted with corn, so there isn't much work during this month. I can just do some weeding in the evening when the weather is cool.
Seeing Jiang Hua's strong body, Jiang Hua excused himself to exercise recently.
Jiang Hua is the only son in his family. His father is two brothers. His brother-in-law has a daughter and a son. They are at home during the summer vacation. When I had nothing to do at home, I went to my uncle's house to sit and play with my cousin Jiang Lin and cousin Jiang Ran. Lin will be a senior in high school next semester, and now she is reviewing textbooks at home when she has nothing to do. Jiang Ran will only be in the second grade of junior high school next semester, and still has time to play around.
When Jiang Hua had nothing to do, he and Jiang Ran went to the valley behind the village. During the summer vacation, the children in the village were like calves that had taken off their reins, having fun. Their figures and laughter were everywhere in the village, in the river, and in the woods. Find something. Wild vegetables and mushrooms... can be considered as a way to experience childhood.
At night, Jiang Hua opened his laptop and watched the movie "Super Powers Out of Control", but he still couldn't enter. This is a must-have movie for time travel. It is safe and the easiest way to get super powers, but he can't enter yet.
Looking at my hometown in the early morning, I have never felt so familiar. Maybe it is a sense of belonging.
When he walked downstairs, he saw that his mother, Li Liqin, had already prepared breakfast. Jiang Hua knew that his parents usually got up early to take advantage of the cool weather, go to the fields to do some farm work, and then go home for dinner at ten o'clock when it was hot.
After finishing breakfast quickly, he picked up his hoe and went to the fields. His mother saw her and shouted: "Xiaohua, you don't have to go. There isn't much work at this time, just let your dad do it."
Jiang Hua didn't turn around and shouted: "It's okay. I worked out some time ago. I'm almost rusty after being idle at home these days. Let's do some exercise."
The corn seedlings are now knee-high, and there are many weeds in the rows. I don’t know how many times this has been done, because weeds must be removed before the corn seedlings grow to waist height, and the grass in the mountains is also very dense. Stubborn, otherwise it will affect the growth of corn seedlings.
Looking at his father's back in front of him, Jiang Hua skillfully started weeding. He quickly caught up with his father, called "Dad" and continued weeding.
Jiang Hua's father's name is very literary "Jiang Wenxuan". This should be the reason why his ancestors were scholars. The great master's generation were all scholars before they moved from the city to the mountains to take refuge. Most people in the village are also "literary people" ”, although there is no diploma.
"When will you go to work? You've been at home for a week." Jiang Wenxuan looked at his energetic son.
Jiang Hua didn't look up: "Well, I'll stay for another half day tomorrow and then go to the city in the afternoon."
"That's good. It's not easy to find a good job now. I heard Lin Yun from the village entrance say a few days ago that the boy in his family has changed two jobs in half a year, and now he goes to work in the south." Jiang Wenxuan told Jiang Hua. : "Since you have found such a good job, then you should work hard."
Jiang Hua said with a strange expression: "I know." Jiang Hua can't say that I have quit my job.
Men in the mountains talk very little. They can't find a topic within a few sentences. They work in silence until about ten o'clock and then go home.
It was very hot at noon, so the family stayed under the tiled roof in front to enjoy the cool air. My mother went to the melon grower’s house in the village and bought a big watermelon. There was no refrigerator at home, only a water urn, or water tank. The watermelon was placed in the basin and floated in the water. jug of water so the watermelon doesn't get too hot.
Nowadays, all the villages use tap water. There is only one motorized well in the whole village. In the past, everyone drank water from the stream. There are several cracks on the mountain wall behind the village, and clear water flows out. In winter, everyone needs to drink as much water as possible. Store water. Fear of freezing.
The next day, Jiang Hua's mother Li Liqin began to prepare the things to take away, which were all food. Because Jiang Hua always went home once a month or two, the only things she brought were food, and she did not stop her this time. He will be out for a few more days, so he can use it.
In the afternoon, Jiang Wenxuan drove Jiang Huadong out of the mountain on a motorcycle, and Jiang Hua left by car, just like usual.
After returning to the room, I tidied up the room and came to the world of I Am a Special Forces Soldier: Knives Out again. I went back to the dormitory to sleep. I got up with everyone to train the next day. As usual, Jiang Hua specially asked Zero to tidy up Jiang Hua’s hair. After all, there are many Oh my god.
Next, I received a notice that the International Warrior School was about to begin. Both the Red Blood Cell Team and Jiang Hua were going to further their studies. Top special forces from many countries gathered there. It used to be both learning and training.
Everyone was packing their things in the dormitory. Li Erniu said, "It's really comfortable to be a soldier, and you can travel abroad. It's really worth it." As he spoke, he kept stuffing things into his backpack.
Song Kaifei turned back and glanced at Li Erniu: "Erniu, you brought so many things, did you bring your pacifier? Oh, so much mustard."
Erniu said with a matter-of-fact expression: "You are not allowed to take it all with you when you go abroad, right? I'm not afraid that I won't be able to eat Chinese food abroad."
Wang Yanbing also came over and said, "Er Niu, it's useless for you to bring so many things. When the instructor comes later, I still have to throw them away for you."
Jiang Hua joined in the fun: "It's better to solve it now, so as not to have to pay for it later."
He Chenguang said that he was imitating Gong Jian's tone of voice, "Throw away all the things that don't belong to the army." In the end, everyone followed suit, and then waved their hands to indicate that they should be thrown away.
Just as he was talking, Gong Jian and Chen Shanming came in: "Are you all ready?"
Everyone immediately stood up and heard: "Okay, let me emphasize again, remember to throw away everything that does not belong to the army." He said and waved his hands, making everyone hold back their laughter.
"Why are you laughing? Li Erniu, do you understand? And you, don't let me find out that you have private items, remember?"
"Remember!" everyone replied in unison.
When Gong Jian and the others left, everyone couldn't help laughing and waved their hands: "Throw it away, throw it away, throw it all away."
Erniu looked confused: "What should I do? This is all I want."
Jiang Hua said to Erniu with a narrow look on his face: "Why don't you just eat it now? Do you still want to smuggle it?"
He Chenguang looked serious: "We are a special force, and our secret operation this time is to smuggle mustard." Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then looked thoughtful.
