I take the whole village out of poverty and become rich

Chapter 259

Lunch was served quickly.

A platter of sausage and bacon, three dishes of stir-fried two meat and one vegetarian, and cooked a cabbage head, mixed with water.

This is a meal that makes the whole family feel grand.

Among other things, just look at the little boy, even if he was sitting opposite Xu Jiyuan, and he glanced vigilantly from time to time, the chopsticks would fly up and his mouth would be dripping with oil.

The wine is the ordinary Fenggu Touqu wine bought in the town, ten yuan a bottle.

Xu Jiyuan tapped his chopsticks slowly and critically. He didn't know that he was lucky this trip.

Even though Niujiao Village is still poor these years, it is still at the end of 2013 after all, and life is much better than when Huo Qianli first arrived in Hushan Village seven or eight years ago.

Ordinary people in the village like Huang Yuanfa can at least afford to eat meat every now and then and drink bottled wine.

And there is also a virtuous woman in this family who does the housework. Although the things are old, he will not let him sit on the sticky table, use the oily bowl that has not been cleaned, and use the toilet paper to wipe a black mark. chopsticks.

Huang Yuanfa's temperament is a bit dull, or people like him, when facing strangers or unfamiliar environments, are somewhat subconsciously cautious and inferior.

This actually has nothing to do with personality, it mainly lies in experience, experience, and confidence.

After all, Xu Jiyuan was a guest, and he didn't have the will to actively adjust the atmosphere.

In this way, Huang Youquan, the village head who came to "crack the meal", is very important.

He held the cup, expressing thanks with one cup, talking about expectations with one cup, sighing with the past with a cup, toasting the future with one cup, after several cups of wine, everyone talked a little more.

After all, it wasn't a big occasion, and they didn't drink too much. The three of them shared a bottle of wine and stopped fighting.

Huang Yuanfa added a bowl of rice, but Xu Jiyuan was still not used to this kind of food, so he didn't move his chopsticks much, smoking a cigarette with Huang Youquan, whose appetite had been greatly reduced.

After sitting for a while, Huang Youquan saw that the time was almost up, so he got up and said goodbye, and made an appointment with Xu Jiyuan to go to the village tomorrow to discuss the next work in detail.

Xu Jiyuan felt embarrassed staying here, so he took the initiative to say: "I'll go there in the afternoon, not tomorrow."

Huang Youquan chuckled, "Expert Xu is so active, I would like to thank the whole village first, but I have to let my old bones take a breather! I will ask the village cadres to come up with the plan in the afternoon, and we will discuss it tomorrow!"

Xu Jiyuan had no choice but to nod. Huang Youquan subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but when he reached halfway to realize it, he retracted and scratched his head, "Expert Xu went for a walk in the village this afternoon, so he's familiar with the environment."

"it is good."

When the village chief left, the atmosphere in the room quietly became a little awkward again.

Xu Jiyuan said, "I'm going to tidy up the room."

After speaking, he got into his own room as if he was fleeing.

On the cabinet next to the dining table, the beautiful and luxurious gift box was quietly placed, out of tune with the surrounding furnishings.

The room was fairly spacious and tidy. A wooden bed was placed in a corner of the room against two walls. There was a small stool next to the bed. I don’t know what it was for.

There are two wooden cabinets similar to large freezers that are common in rural areas beside the bed.

The cabinets are usually filled with things like rice noodles and peanuts. The tops of the cabinets are cleaned and can be used as a study table.

At the foot of the bed, there is a wardrobe, which has been vacated and wiped clean, allowing Xu Jiyuan to put down his clothes.

There were a few empty hangers hanging inside, all of which were twisted by Huang Yuanfa himself with wire. Many of them were rusty, and they were traces of time when touched.

The four bright tiles on the roof have already accumulated some leaf dust, which transmits dappled light and falls in front of the bed.

Amid the vague musty smell, Xu Jiyuan opened the box, squatted down, and began to pack his luggage silently.

After tidying up, he sat on the bed and stared blankly at everything around him. He recalled his spotlessly clean room with star posters and various toys, and he was dazed.

There was silence all around, and he quietly fell asleep without knowing it.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, he woke up from the bed, feeling refreshed inexplicably.

Slowly got up, walked out of the room, walked through the main room to the open space under the eaves.

The hostess Chen Hongmei was sitting in a corner outside the kitchen, holding a large guillotine and cutting pigweed.

Seeing Xu Jiyuan come out, he kept his hands in his hands, and greeted him with a smile: "Expert Xu is up, he's resting well!"

Xu Jiyuan was terrified when he saw it, and he hummed, "That. Brother Huang"

"Oh, he took the baby to pick oranges (red oranges). It's over there, and you can see them within a few minutes of walking."

As she spoke, Chen Hongmei pointed to him with her hand.

Xu Jiyuan thought about it, he was idle, so he followed what the old village chief said, let's get familiar with the situation first, so he thanked him and walked out of the yard.

Niujiao Village is the same as Hushan Village in the past, a settlement of several households, and the whole village is composed of dozens of such settlements.

There used to be six families in the area where Huang Yuanfa's home is located, two of them moved to the side of the road and built buildings, and only four families are still holding on.

Well, to be precise, I was trapped because of lack of money.

Xu Jiyuan walked out along the road, and when he passed other houses, he couldn't help covering his mouth and nose.

Because these families habitually built pigpens and latrines along the road when they built their houses, the dark brown soup fermented quietly in the pit, shocking Xu Jiyuan's sense of smell and vision.

He continued to walk forward, and sure enough, he saw Huang Yuanfa carrying two baskets and a little boy walking from the end of a house, so he greeted him from the yard in front of the house.

There was a sound of iron chains colliding suddenly, and it was getting closer. He turned his head suddenly, and was shocked to see a skinny, hair-shedding old dog rushing towards him.

It wasn't until they got closer that a loud bark was heard.

Xu Jiyuan was frightened for a moment.

At this moment, an immature child's voice sounded from behind, "Dead dog, don't bite!"

The little boy swung his short legs and rushed in front of him, protecting him behind him. Like an adult, he stared at the old dog that was restrained by the iron chain and couldn't rush forward, raised his hand, with a vicious expression on his face look.

Huang Yuanfa walked over quickly carrying a shoulder pole, and said with a smile, "Expert Xu, don't worry, those with iron chains will not be able to bite you as long as you don't go to their courtyard dam."

The little boy walked back to his father silently. Xu Jiyuan watched this scene with a complicated expression, never imagined that he would be protected by a four-year-old child.

Huang Yuanfa simply put down the two baskets, took two baskets of red oranges, handed one to Xu Jiyuan and the other to the little boy, and said with a smile, "Try it, it's delicious."

Xu Jiyuan reached out to take it, broke open and took a piece, put it in his mouth, it was really sweet.

He spat out a few fruit cores, and asked doubtfully, "When will you finish eating so much?"

Huang Yuanfa smiled and said: "Where are you eating it yourself? Tomorrow, we will pick it up and sell it in the town. Now those of us who have fruit trees on our own roofs, we all figure out our own way. We just wait for the village affairs to be sorted out in the future, so we don't have to. It's been so hard!"

Xu Jiyuan was a little surprised, "How much does this cost per catty?"

Huang Yuanfa smiled, "The town can't afford the price, one yuan, one yuan, and nine corners are all on sale. These two baskets weigh more than 100 catties. If you are lucky, you can still get more than 100 yuan."

Xu Jiyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.

"Haha!" Seeing his expression, Huang Yuanfa probably guessed what he was thinking, and smiled, "It's all good. We farm the land, pick up manure, water and fertilizer, climb up hills, and earn less than a few dozen a day. Hundreds of dollars! I hope you, Expert Xu, and the leaders of the town can help us, so that we don’t have to work so hard in the future, haha!”

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to Xu Jiyuan. After a pause, Xu Jiyuan reached out to take it, and took out a lighter to help Huang Yuanfa light it.

The two of them were smoking while looking at the mountain house in front of them and talking.

The little boy was squatting beside the basket, stuffing petals of tangerines into his mouth, eating until his cheeks puffed up.

The green hills are curling, the green trees are shaking, and I don't know how many villagers are silent in this ravine.

After smoking a cigarette, the three got up and went home. The little boy secretly picked up the orange peel that Xu Jiyuan dropped on the ground and held it in his hand.

Xu Jiyuan hurriedly said: "Why are you picking that up! Put it down!"

Huang Yuanfa turned his head to see it, and said with a smile: "This red orange peel is a good thing. It can be sold for a lot of money if it is dried and sold to the pharmacy in the town as tangerine peel!"

Xu Jiyuan was stunned, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "I didn't expect to be so sensible at such a young age, that's great."

His praise didn't win the little boy close, he just silently swung his short legs, bloatedly following beside his father.

"The baby of the poor has already been in charge of the house!" Huang Yuanfa chuckled, picked up the burden, and walked unsteadily.

Walking behind, Xu Jiyuan saw the father and son, some concepts inherent in their hearts all the time, such as the embankment on the shore, were hit by a surge of emotion.

After going back and letting go of the burden, Huang Yuanfa took the initiative to take Xu Jiyuan around and introduced some situations to him.

The time quietly came to night.

For dinner, I reheated the leftovers from noon and fried another dish.

Chen Hongmei said: "This is the condition of the head of the village, expert Xu should not dislike it!"

Xu Jiyuan talked more, and smiled slightly, "I mentioned it to the village chief before I came, we just eat and live together, don't cause trouble for you."

After dinner, Chen Hongmei went to clean up, Huang Yuanfa also had a lot of things to do, so Xu Jiyuan went back to the room by himself, spread out his work notes under the dim light, and worked hard for a while.

After working for a long time, he felt almost sleepy, but when he looked at the time, it was only [-]:[-].

On weekdays, isn't this the time to be active.

Just as he was thinking, Huang Yuanfa walked to the door, "Expert Xu, the water is ready, you can wash your face and feet."

"okay!"

Xu Jiyuan agreed and walked out. After finishing his work, he returned to the room and got into the quilt, as if he felt that everything was not so unacceptable.

The phone vibrated quietly, and when he checked the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello."

"Son! Are you okay?" A woman's concerned and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Your father forbids me to call you. I borrowed Aunt Liu's phone to call you while dancing in the square. You hit it."

"Mom, no, don't worry, I'm fine!"

"Don't comfort your mother! Mom has heard people say that the countryside suffers a lot. It's dirty and damp. Rats and cockroaches run everywhere. Not to mention the toilet, you can't even squat in the toilet, and the food is not clean."

Hearing that there was a bit of crying over there, Xu Jiyuan quickly comforted him, and it took a long time to persuade him to persuade him.

After hanging up the phone, it was the first time that he, who had always enjoyed the love of his mother, felt that the phrase "a loving mother loses more than a child" had some truth to it.

The night in the countryside is too quiet, so quiet that people can't help but want to fall asleep.

As the little inaudible noise outside the room completely disappeared, Xu Jiyuan fell asleep.

After being in a daze for an unknown amount of time, a sudden noise woke him up.

A dark thing was struggling, passing through the mosquito net and crawling towards him! ! !

Xu Jiyuan turned pale with fright, and wanted to lift his foot to kick over, but the quilt was too thick and he was unable to move, so he was delayed for a while.

Just like that, that black shadow had already climbed onto the bed!
"Dad, I'm afraid!"

Xu Jiyuan's feet had already been taken out of the quilt, and were about to be imprinted on the black shadow, but he heard such a sentence.

He hesitated for a while, watching the little boy dragging the quilt, sleeping soundly, and finally did not wake him up.

He lay down gently, listened to the regular breathing beside him, smiled silently, and fell asleep.

The crowing of the cock woke up the village, and Xu Jiyuan, who had slept soundly and deeply last night, got up early in the morning, looking at the little boy curled up in the bed, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He walked out of the door with his shoes on, and stood under the eaves to move his body refreshed, but he saw Chen Hongmei hurriedly coming from the direction of the toilet, and looked at Huang Yuanfa who ran out from the other side, and couldn't hide his anxiety, "What, Did you find it?"

Huang Yuanfa also shook his head in a panic, "No way! Where are you?"

Chen Hongmei shook her head and stomped her feet resentfully, "Where did this back time doll go! I fastened the door, how could he escape!"

Xu Jiyuan listened for a while, then hesitated: "Are you guys looking for your son?"

"That's right! Expert Xu, did you see him?" Chen Hongmei asked hastily.

"That...he fell asleep on my bed!"

Huang Yuanfa heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and Chen Hongmei even slumped down on the chair, his hands and feet feeling weak.

Huang Yuanfa scratched his head, "I'm sorry, Expert Ha Xu, he is timid. After he started to sleep in separate rooms, he would occasionally get into our bed in the middle of the night when he was scared. Maybe he is used to it and caused you trouble!"

Xu Jiyuan waved his hand, and was about to say it's okay, when he was suddenly taken aback.

I am used to it, that is to say, it is a habit for the little boy to sleep on this bed, which means that this bed itself is slept by Huang Yuanfa and Chen Hongmei.

In other words, he is sleeping in the master bedroom of this house?

Because of his arrival, the couple directly gave up the master bedroom?

Xu Jiyuan turned his head and looked. Although he didn't understand the characteristics of rural buildings, he looked at it with conclusions, and he could tell at a glance that his current room was the best place in the house!
"Expert Xu, I'm going to call him up! I must educate him well, and don't allow him to disturb you again in the future."

Chen Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked in.

"and many more!"

Xu Jiyuan stopped her suddenly, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, the child is still young, and I can't sleep in such a big bed by myself, just sleep if you want!"

He didn't know why he would say such a thing.

Obviously he despised this dirty little boy very much.

Obviously he just changed the bed sheet and quilt cover.

Obviously at home, he doesn't like to sleep on the same bed with others
