...Mr. Liu's yard is very large. After entering, the patio alone is 200 square meters. In the center of the patio, which is also paved with bluestone, there are two rows of stone flower stands with roses, chrysanthemums, orchids, etc. in full bloom.
Flowers common in the south are blooming against the setting sun.<><>Novel
When you enter the door, in front of two rows of flower stands, there is a huge water tank with some water lilies floating on it, which is very beautiful.
There are two wing rooms on both sides of the patio. Above the wing room, there is a roof extending nearly two meters, and then it is supported by a huge tree as thick as an adult's arms, forming a corridor about one and a half meters wide.
With this corridor, you can freely enter and exit the main house and the houses on both sides on rainy days without worrying about getting caught in the rain.
After Liu Dong put his motorcycle at the entrance of the courtyard, he followed Mr. Liu and walked into the wing on the left.
"When you are in our village, stay here!" As he said this, Mr. Liu opened the hook on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.
The wing room is very large, more than 70 square meters, with a small living room in the middle and two rooms on both sides of the living room.
"This is where my children lived when they came to visit me. It's very clean!" As he spoke, Mr. Liu and Liu Dong pushed open the door on the right.
What appeared in front of Liu Dong was a room of more than 20 square meters. There was a double bed in the back of the room, and a black low table next to the bed. On the table was a table that Liu Dong could still see in his hometown when he was a child.
The kind of glass oil lamp that burns oil.
Going around the big bed, there is a wardrobe over one meter high at the foot of the bed against the wall, and a large black cabinet is placed on the wardrobe.
The cabinet reaches the corner of the wall. Next to the cabinet, on the side close to the window, there is a desk that is two meters long and 80 centimeters wide. There are some wool selections and some magazines on it, and there is also a mirror.
In addition to these furniture, there are also some decorative calligraphy and painting prints on the four walls of the house, as well as some certificates and the like.
There was no smell in the house, and the table and bed were clean, obviously someone cleaned them regularly.
After seeing this environment, Liu Dong was very satisfied. The living conditions exceeded his previous expectations.
"Thank you, old man! It's very nice here!" Liu Dong said sincerely.
"Haha, no need to thank you! As long as you, a city dweller, can get used to living in our little country place, by the way, I'll call you when we have dinner later! You can clean it up yourself first! By the way, the cabinet
There are bedding inside, please make the bed yourself!"
"I know, old man!"
After hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded and then retreated, leaving space for Liu Dong.
After closing the door, Liu Dong stood in the room and looked around, then took off the backpack behind him. Then he took out the bedding he bought in the county from the mustard space and spread it on the double bed with only bare bed boards.
Then, he went outside and brought in his easel and drawing board.
After doing this, Liu Dong said something to Mr. Liu, then walked out of the house, and then wandered around the village. At this time, the news that an outsider from the city came to the village had spread throughout this quiet mountain village.
, so no matter where Liu Dong went, he was greeted with curiosity.
In the end, he originally planned to search the whole village to see if he could find any clues that Uncle Li and the others were staying here, but in the end, he really couldn't stand the surrounding villagers, who looked at them like monkeys or tigers in the zoo, so Liu Dong had no choice but to stop.
He stepped back helplessly.
When Liu Dong came back, there were already several people in the small courtyard that was a little deserted when he first arrived.
After seeing him come in, they all looked over at him involuntarily.
"Liu Dong, come here quickly!"
Seeing the old man waving, Liu Dong, who was kindly taken in by the family, naturally did not dare to neglect and walked over quickly.
"Old man!"
After saying hello, Mr. Li pointed to a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man next to him in his fifties and said: "Liu Dong, this is the head of our Guanjiachong village, Guan Dashi.
Came here specifically to see you!"
"Hello, Village Chief Guan, my name is Liu Dong. I came here to paint and sketch, so I will be living in our village during this period. Please take good care of me!" Liu Dong said politely.
"Haha, Liu Dong, let me call you Xiao Liu!"
"No problem!" This man was about the same age as his father, so Xiao Liu naturally shouted.
"Well, Xiao Liu, you are so young, why do you think of coming to our place to paint and sketch?" An outsider like Liu Dong suddenly appeared in the village. As the village chief, Wang Dashi was naturally very cautious.
.
It would be fine if Liu Dong was just a painter, but it would be a bad thing if some criminals escaped to them.
Seeing the caution in Guan Dashi's eyes, Liu Dong said with a smile: "Actually, I originally planned to go to our Jianshui Scenic Area to paint, but after arriving in the county, I heard people say that we have mountains, water, and waterfalls here.
The scenery is more beautiful than that of Jianshui, but the mountain road is difficult to navigate. However, my hometown is also in the mountains, so I am not afraid of the difficult mountain road, so I asked about it and came to our Guanjiachong. When I came in to take a look, the scenery was indeed unique and great.
Got it!"
At the end of the speech, Liu Dong's face showed a strong look of admiration, which made Guan Dashi very satisfied. No matter who doesn't want to hear good praises about his hometown from other people's mouths.
Moreover, Liu Dong is too young and does not look like a bad person.
So after another round of cross-examination, Liu Dong finally passed the test. Afterwards, the village chief Guan said goodbye and left. Of course, when he left, he also took away two bottles of good wine presented by Liu Dong.
After seeing off the village chief, Mr. Liu introduced the family of four next to him, which was his youngest daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren.
Mr. Liu's youngest daughter is about forty years old. However, rural people work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They work with the land all year round, so she looks darker. And under the temper of life, her appearance is older than her real appearance.
Older.
Mr. Liu's son-in-law is a tall, strong-looking middle-aged man, wearing a black vest, with a crew cut and a big face with a hint of honesty. He looked at Mr. Liu with a trace of respect in his eyes,
When cooking at night, he also rushes to do it. He is very diligent and he is an honest and reliable man!
There are two children, a boy and a girl. The older boy is the elder brother. He is in junior high school at the age of fifteen and it is still summer vacation, so he stays at home. The other little girl is only ten years old and is still in elementary school, also because of the summer vacation.
Stay at home, but in a few days, you will go to school.
During dinner, Liu Dong took out a lot of the meat he had bought from his mustard space. In addition, he also took a lot of pencils and gave them to the two children who were going to school. Of course, snacks such as candies were also indispensable.
After dinner, the dishes were cleared, and the family and Liu Dong chatted for a while, Liu, his daughter, and his family were ready to go back to their own home to rest.
"Aunt Liu, please keep this money! It is considered as my food expenses when I live here with Mr. Liu!" Just as Mr. Liu's daughter and her family were walking out of the house, Liu Dong took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket.
"Hey, Liu Dong, it doesn't cost anything to eat and stay. It's all grown in our own fields, so we don't have to pay for it!" It was getting dark, and Liu Fang didn't see how much money Liu Dong had in his hand.
, just after hearing his words, she quickly pushed his arm back.
"Aunt Liu, just take it! Things grown in the ground also cost money. Besides, I can't live and eat here for free, so I won't be a rogue! You'd better take the money! Otherwise
I have no shame in living here anymore!" With that said, Liu Dong forced it into Liu Fang's hand.
"So much?" Under the clear moonlight, Liu Fang couldn't see very clearly, but she could still recognize the hundred-dollar bills, and such a thick stack would cost at least several thousand yuan. Their family couldn't make enough money in a year.
so much.
"Liu Dong, no, no, this is too much money! I can't spend so much!" Although rural people are not rich, they are simple people. Of course, Liu Fang would not dare to accept so much money at once.
Holding her arm, Liu Dong smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, I am young, I eat a lot, and I like meat, so you have to worry more about food and spend money to buy it in the village.
It’s a lot of money, and this money will be used as my meal ticket. Just refund more and make up for less!”
Hearing this, Liu Fang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then with the persuasion of her husband next to her, she finally nodded and agreed, "Okay! When you leave, I will pay you back the remaining money.
!”
Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and didn't take it to heart. He had no intention of getting the money back after he gave it away.
"By the way, Aunt Liu, can you and Uncle Guan come here for dinner tomorrow?" Seeing the surprise on their faces, Liu Dong continued: "You know that I am from the city, and I have been here since I was a child.
I’ve never learned to cook…!”
Of course, Liu Dong can also cook, but since having Wang Qiang, he rarely does it by himself, and now he has become a lot lazy, and he doesn't have much time. If he has the skills to cook, he also
They are going to find Uncle Li and the others' treasure of King Zhuang that they don't know where they are hiding.
"hehe!"
"whee!"……
Liu Dong's words caused the whole family of four to laugh unanimously, "Okay, that's no problem. It just so happens that my dad is also the one who eats and eats, so you two can get together this time!"
After Liu Fang finished speaking, the whole family burst into laughter again.
Afterwards, after a few people exchanged a few words, Liu Fang and her family left. Liu Dong also returned to his room and lit the oil lamp. Apart from the memories of his childhood, this kind of life without electricity has already become a part of his life.
I haven’t experienced it in ten years. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
