Chapter 470 My home!
…Liu Dong’s hometown is on the edge of Wenqu Lake. Because it is located on the north bank of the lake, it is called Beixingluo Village, while the village located on the south bank of the lake is called Nanxingluo Village.…
In fact, there are many villages like them named based on geography, such as: Shangzhuang Village and Xiazhuang Village on the banks of Lianzhen Lake; Nanduan Village and Beiduan Village on the banks of Tanlang Lake; Donggao Village and Xigao Village on the bank of Pojun Lake, etc.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the land near the lake is relatively flat and fertile, and there is no need to worry about water sources, so it is naturally easier to form a village.
However, no village would choose to build a village on the lakeside plain. After all, the mountains are not as good as the plains. Flat land is too precious. Therefore, Beixingluo Village still builds the village on the mountainside like most mountain villages in Zhuliang Town.
, building here can also prevent flash floods.
Liu Dong, who drove over, also saw his hometown from afar! Especially the huge Ming and Qing style house at the head of the village that almost ran through the whole village, which made the childhood days that he had almost forgotten intensely in Liu Dong's mind.
It's churning!
Huo Family Courtyard is the name of this Ming and Qing style house!
In Beixingluo Village, more than 80% of the people have the surname Huo, and the ancestors of the Huo family were once the largest landowners in Zhuliang Town. Although they declined after liberation, they left behind three courtyards with front, middle and back areas.
It is a luxurious manor of more than 5,000 square meters. Unfortunately, when the Cultural Revolution destroyed the Four Old Ages, the scenery in the courtyard was devastatingly damaged. Fortunately, the main building is still intact. But now this once glorious courtyard has become a village within a village.
Department! And it has not been repaired for many years!
Just when Liu Dong was recalling his childhood, a Land Rover also arrived at the entrance of the village!
However, the slope of the hillside where the village is located is not too steep, and the main road in the village is wide enough, otherwise Liu Dong's Land Rover would really not be able to drive in.
"Why did this car come to our village?"
"Who knows, maybe something happened?"
"That's nonsense. If something happened, it would have been a Public Security Bureau car. This one didn't sound the alarm. It's definitely not the case!"
"Okay, stop guessing, let's follow and have a look and we'll find out!"...
After Liu Dong drove into the village, as expected, it caused a huge sensation among the old and young men in the village. These days, in a rural area dominated by tractors, a car drove in. It was a rare peep show.
'.
Therefore, the closer Liu Dong got to his house, the more people followed him, and they were basically watching the fun.
"Xiaodong, we can't drive in front, so why not stop the car at the intersection!" Song Xiangmei said worriedly.
In mountain villages, in addition to the uneven roads themselves, there are also drainage ditches built on many originally wide roads. These ditches vary in width, but the narrowest ones are 80 centimeters. As the streets wind, they besides
The water from the mountains is drained into the river, so that it will not flood the houses, and the domestic wastewater from every household will also be drained away through this ditch.
It is precisely because of the existence of these ditches that the originally wide roads have become narrow.
"Don't worry, Mom, it's okay!"
Although the road ahead is indeed very narrow, Liu Dong, who has the Relic Yuan Guang, can clearly see the situation of all four wheels, front, rear, left and right. Therefore, even if his driving skills are not top-notch, but he has an innate advantage, Liu Dong is not afraid of himself
Ditch the car.
"Huh!" When Liu Dong carefully drove through the narrowest place and parked the car at the door, he felt relieved.
"Okay, parents, Xiao Fei, let's get out of the car!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, a family of four opened the door and walked down.
"Oh, look, that car is parked in front of Liu Jianqing's house!"
"Yes, look! Are it Mr. Liu and his wife who got out of the car?"
"That's not what it is!"
"You said that Mr. Liu and his two children are not considered wealthy in our village. How come they bought a car?"
"Who knows, I guess I won some kind of big prize. The day before yesterday, I heard my second brother say that there is some kind of lottery... lottery, or something like that. After winning the prize, you can make millions at once?"
"Really? Then I'll buy a few when I go back. Maybe if there's smoke on my ancestor's grave, I can win a big prize!"...
Discussions like this turned the door of Liu Dong's house into a vegetable market, and as more and more people got the news and gathered around, the noise became even more intense!
"Teacher Liu, did your family buy this car?" At this time, a middle-aged woman in her fifties with dark complexion who was familiar with Dong Liu's family squeezed out of the crowd and asked.
"Haha, Liu Dong bought it and just drove it back today!" Liu Jianqing said with a smile on his face and a hint of showoff in his words.
Although Liu Jianqing had previously beaten and scolded his son for dropping out of school and not coming home for a long time, facing his son's achievements, he was extremely unhappy and felt deeply honored!
You must know that in the past, after the news that Liu Dong dropped out of school to work with such good grades spread in the village, he was often criticized behind his back. Now he is finally proud!
"The car belongs to Liu Dong. Is your Liu Dong back?" The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment and then asked quickly.
"Yes, Aunt Huo, I just came back today. Is Libing at home? I haven't seen him in several years!" With that, Liu Dong walked to the back of the car.
"I went to join the army, and I haven't come back for two years just like you!" At this point, the middle-aged woman's face showed a deep look of longing!
"Be a soldier?" Liu Dong was stunned for a moment. Thinking of his thin playmate when he was a child, Liu Dong found it hard to imagine that the other party actually became a soldier!
"Aunt Huo, and all the neighbors, why don't you all come sit at home!" Song Xiangmei greeted.
"No, Liu Dong finally came back, and your family of four is reunited, so we won't go in!" The middle-aged woman surnamed Huo shook her head and refused.
"Yes, Teacher Song, we won't go in!" Anyone who is sensible and has a little wink will not go to someone else's home to disturb them when their family of four is reunited.
So after saying hello to each other, most people retreated. Of course, there were still many people standing at the corners and intersections, pointing in the direction of Liu Dong's house, and telling the people around them what they knew.
The story of the Liu family.
…
Liu Dong's home is roughly similar to the homes of most farmers in the mountains! The exterior walls of the yard are made of uneven but relatively regular stones, mixed with clay, a small amount of lime powder and wheat straw.
It is made of cement. Except when building a house and laying a foundation, no one will use expensive cement for other buildings.
Generally, the courtyard gate of a rural house will be located in the southeast corner of the entire courtyard, and Liu Dong's house is the same.
Following my mother, I walked into the yard! The first thing that greeted me was a screen wall made of blue bricks. There were no other unnecessary decorations, except an upside-down word '福' posted in the center. Unfortunately, after a year of
After the rain and wind, all the vermilion on the paper had faded away, leaving only a pale piece of paper with black writing and obvious damage.
The southwest corner directly opposite the courtyard gate is the toilet at home. Originally, the place behind the toilet was a pig pen, a cattle pen, etc. However, because Liu Dong's parents are teachers and often live in school and are away from home, they do not raise any poultry and livestock at home.
Domestic animals, but there is a tall persimmon tree standing there that can hold nearly a person's arms.
It's just that in the winter, the leaves have fallen off, and it looks like a rooster with no feathers, which is a bit ugly!
Liu Dong remembered that according to his mother, his father planted it after he was born, hoping that he could grow as strong as this persimmon tree in the future.
Now it seems that my father's idea has come true. He is as strong and tall as it, and can support a clear sky for this family!
Between the persimmon tree and the screen wall, there is a sycamore tree surrounded by adults. Due to the season and temperature, the leaves on the tall figure have completely fallen off.
"Plant a plane tree to attract the phoenix." This tree was planted by my father for my sister!
In addition to these two trees, there are also roses, hollies, figs, orchids and other common northern flowers planted beside the south wall. Unfortunately, except for the hollies, they have all withered!
Bypassing the screen wall, a 1.2 meter wide bluestone road leads directly to the main room. On the left hand side of the bluestone road, connected to the screen wall is a side room four meters wide and eight meters long. The side room is divided into two rooms, one is
In the kitchen, the other one holds some sundries.
As for the gap between the side room and the main room, there is still a gap of about eight square meters. There are some green bamboos planted in the corner here. There are not too many, only about twenty bamboos. They are growing well, but they do not block the windows. It can be seen that
Parents should prune them frequently!
On the left side of the entrance to the main room, which is still six meters away from the entrance to the side room, is a grape trellis tied up. Of course, in the cold winter, there is nothing else except the branches.
In front of the wing, which is the west wall of the entire yard, my mother has opened up a vegetable plot of only 15 square meters. In summer and autumn, she grows some vegetables for herself.
This is Liu Dong's home. The entire area is about 180 square meters. It is not large among farmhouses, but his father and mother have always kept it very clean.
In addition, because there is no grain field at home, there is no land to plant. Therefore, there are not a lot of farm tools and grain piles. On the contrary, because my parents are teachers, they take care of it with a touch of elegance.
All of this is familiar to Liu Dong. He has been away from home for more than three years, and the layout of the yard has not changed at all. No matter where he looks, there is a familiar atmosphere rushing towards him.
And all of this combined is exactly the home he has been looking forward to for three years. A place that he will never forget no matter how rich he is!
