Hou Tong must have heard it too, Chen Xing noticed that he was wiping tears.
When he looked over, he said: "Sorry, I can't see this kind of scene, but it's always very touching, right?"
Chen Xing nodded.
Hou Tong continued: "It turns out she is Principal Zhang. I thought she was an ordinary teacher before. Are you also a teacher at a girls' high school?"
"No, we met outside the village, at the bridge."
"Oh, let me tell you, you are handsome and young. Principal Zhang will definitely not keep you in the girls' high school."
"????"
Hou Tong looked at the two people opposite and walked back. He smiled and said, "Brother, let's figure it out on our own. Okay, Principal Zhang should go to another girl's home. I'll make arrangements first."
He went to Zhang Guimei again and said, "Principal Zhang, Song Shulan's home is at the foot of the mountain opposite. I'm going to look for a car now. You guys can wait here."
Chi Mingqing's tears were not yet dry. After hearing their conversation, he said, "Are you looking for Song Shulan? She is no longer in the village. She was sent to the city to work by her mother at the beginning of the month."
Zhang Guimei sighed and said, "She is only a sophomore in high school."
Hou Tong didn't know about this either, and said, "Didn't her brother support her studying? Why was she suddenly sent to work? Does his brother know about this?"
Chi Mingqing lowered his head and shook it.
Hou Tong scratched his head. This was a bit difficult to handle. Others could still find it at home. With him here, and his brother who has always supported his sister to continue going to school, there would definitely be no problem sending Song Shulan to a women's high school. .
But they all went out to work, so what should we do?
Zhang Guimei was silent for a while and said:
"I still want to see what kind of parents these are. They let a high school kid go out to work. Isn't this losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds? Besides, how can a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child trust her to be alone outside? "
Chen Xing suddenly spoke.
"Song Shulan said I came here, but I didn't expect there to be such a twisty story."
He thought that Song Shulan was a girl who dropped out of school to work outside, and judging from her condition, she was actually quite adaptable to the outside world. If he hadn't come here in person, he wouldn't have guessed that Song Shulan came from such a village.
"Is she okay?" Zhang Guimei asked.
"fine."
After all, Song Shulan is not a little girl who just walked out of the village, but a high school sophomore girl who went to school in the city and has strong adaptability.
Zhang Guimei wanted to visit Song Shulan's house, and Chen Xing followed her.
This is one of the reasons why he came to this place.
Hou Tong called two motorcycles, one of which carried Teacher Zhang, and the other carried Chen Xing and Hou Tong. They drove wildly on the small bluestone road that was not suitable for driving without wearing helmets. .
Chen Xing remained silent all the way.
After getting off the bus at the place, Chen Xing almost lost his footing.
The masters are among the people.
They were climbing a mountain all the way. After crossing the hillside they saw in front, the Miao family's village was left behind. After climbing the mountain, there were no houses visible on this side of the mountain. Instead, there were terraced fields along the gentle slope of the mountain. Slowly going down, shaped like fish scales.
The terraces extend all the way to the foot of the mountain.
But the foot of the mountain is another world.
Different from the liveliness and elegance of the Miao Village, the houses at the foot of the mountain are large but very smart. They are built along both sides of a river. Among them, there is a pagoda-like building that surprised Chen Xing.
style.
The style here is actually very different from the Chinese architecture that Chen Xing is familiar with.
Hou Tong's eyes widened when he saw Chen Xing. He stood next to him and said, "That place is called Myanmar Temple. There is one in almost every Dai village. The one in front of you has a history of more than 600 years. They use it for religious purposes." Activities, celebrations, etc. Anyway, I have no sense of presence here.”
He led the way to Song Shulan's home, and the two of them followed behind.
Chen Xing holds the camera in his hand, often raising and putting it down.
Although Miao Village is also very beautiful, at least Chen Xing has seen it on TV. Occasionally, there are photos taken by friends while traveling and sent to WeChat Moments, so although Chen Xing thinks it is very beautiful, at least he is mentally prepared.
But he had never seen Dai Village before.
The houses on the roadside are tall and spacious, square in shape, with triangular cone-shaped roofs covered with wood chips. He saw the largest house with more than ten or twenty wooden pillars underneath. The wooden pillars were built on stone piers, and the beams in the house penetrated the pillars. The structure looked simple, but it was full of aesthetics.
There are corridors on three sides of the second floor. There is a spacious platform at the end of the corridor, where some clothes are hung to dry and some flower pots are placed.
Compared with traditional Chinese buildings, the stretched roofs have a steeper slope. They look like a large tent on a high platform. Some of them also have solar water heaters. With such a slope, Chen Xing is really afraid that the water heater will fall down.
Chen Xing was so excited that his heart rate accelerated.
There may be only one reward for the same content in a place. Otherwise, Chen Xing, who was even more excited than when he saw the Miao Village just now, would probably get another reward.
Click.
Click.
The camera turned again, and Chen Xing photographed a young man painting on the wall.
Hou Tong shouted: "Song Xingwen, come down quickly. If something happens, I'm looking for you!"
The surname is Song. Is he Song Shulan’s brother?
Chen Xing knew that Song Shulan had an older brother who went to college.
From what Song Shulan said, it was because her brother chose to go home after going to college that she decided to go out to work.
"okay!"
The young man replied, and came down along the banana tree like a monkey. He picked a few randomly and gave them to several people.
"Brother Hou, what did you ask me to do? I'm almost finished painting."
Chen Xing looks at his paintings.
It's quite nice.
Under the sun, by the pool, a woman wearing Dai costume is dancing. Judging from the movements of her hands and the graceful posture, she should be dancing the peacock dance. Chen Xing has seen this kind of dance on TV before, and her impression is profound.
Hou Tong said: "Let me ask you, did you know that your sister went out to work?"
"Working? Impossible. He went to school at the end of last month. My mother sent her there personally..." He said this with certainty first, then looked at Zhang Guimei and Chen Xing, his voice weakened, and he Not confident anymore, "Are you telling the truth?"
"This is Principal Zhang, the principal of your sister's high school. This friend is Chen Xing. How did your sister know about our village? Do you think we lied to you?"
"Fuck!"
He shouted excitedly, and then said: "My mother must have done it. My sister doesn't have any opinions and always listens to us. Wait, let me ask first."
Song Xingwen knew that his sister had a mobile phone and should always have it with her if she didn't go to school, so he dialed his sister's mobile phone number in front of several people.
Chen Xing took two pictures of his paintings and then looked back at him.
Song Shulan's brother speaks Mandarin very well and is also very talented. He is the only one who can handle such a large area of wall paintings. He can definitely make a lot of money outside, but Chen Xing never thought why he would come back. In the village.
Develop hometown economy?
But I can’t make any money.
