After the divorce, I became a mountain god

There are no modern electric lights in the bonsai world, and the little people have always maintained a good life of working from sunrise to sunset. Fortunately, it is summer and autumn now, the days are longer and it gets dark relatively late, so the little people in the bonsai world have not rested yet.

Xu Bo'an looked intently towards Kaoshan Village and found that at this moment there was smoke rising above the village. Wisps of smoke were like thin threads entwined around the place where the little guys in Kaoshan Village gathered.

The smoke from fireworks rises slowly, interweaving with the sunset glow in the sky to form a warm and peaceful countryside evening scene. The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the earthen buildings in Kaoshan Village, giving this quaint village a layer of golden glow, which adds a bit of warmth and peace to Kaoshan Village.

At this time, every household in Kaoshan Village is performing the warmest scene of the day.

The men chopped and added firewood to the stove, while the women cooked in front of the stove. The pots and shovels made intermittent clinking sounds and the firewood crackled. The old people sat on the doorstep, helping out and playing with the children. The children ran around the stove, and from time to time they were scolded and told to run away, but the little ones didn't get angry. They stared at the food in the pot, wishing they could have a few bites.

After all, children are in a critical period of growth. When it is time for dinner, their stomachs are already growling with hunger. They are so hungry that they feel like they can swallow a cow! At this time, they look at the steaming food in the pot with their eyes shining and their mouths watering. They are looking forward to feasting on it.

Nowadays, a family that can have enough food to eat is already a real blessing for men.

Xu Boan smacked his lips. Good guys. I haven't paid much attention to the situation in the bonsai for some time. The little guys have started to live on their own. It's no longer like when we first moved here, where everyone had to eat from the same pot. This can be regarded as progress in the development of this small society.

Looking at the peaceful and warm scene of Kaoshan Village, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Although he now lives in the city and has a big villa, his living conditions are many times better than when he lived in the countryside as a child, but when Xu Bo'an recalls his childhood scenes in the village, he still misses them very much.

At that time, I walked on the dewy dirt road every day to go to school with my friends. After school at noon, when the adults were having lunch, I would sneak out of the house and call my friends to go to the orchard, climb up the fruit trees, pick the green but naturally fragrant fruits, and eat them in the shade of the trees.
After eating, he would pull up the front of his clothes to use it as a big pocket, and put the remaining fruit in it to take home. As a result, the front of his clothes was always black, and his mother often couldn't help scolding him when she was washing clothes.

Xu Boan recalled that he did not secretly pick the fruits because they were delicious. How could unripe fruits taste good if they tasted sour and astringent? But it was strange that he could have a lot of fun picking them every day.

After school in the afternoon, I would throw my schoolbag at home. Sometimes I would meet with my friends in a fixed place to play many interesting games such as skipping rope, throwing sandbags, playing treasure hunting, catching stones, playing slingshots, rolling hoops, etc. Sometimes I would run around in the fields, catch tadpoles, small fish and shrimps by the river, and climb up trees to take bird eggs.

In short, I spent almost the entire day having fun except for sleeping time at night. Now when I recall the time I spent in the countryside as a child, I remember all the carefree and happy childhood.

People's living standards today have made a qualitative leap compared to before, but people always feel that something is missing in their hearts. In a bustling city, high-rise buildings separate people from each other, and the hustle and bustle of traffic covers up the unique sounds of nature.

Looking at the scene of the mountain village at this moment and then at the children, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but recall the happy days when he was a child in the countryside.

A good childhood can heal a person's life. Since Xu Bo'an grew up and left the village, whenever he encountered difficulties in life, the beauty of his childhood would appear in his mind like a warm and lasting light, giving him warmth and strength in due course.

Xu Boan collected his thoughts and said to Li Kanshan, who was sitting on the doorstep of the earth building, smoking a pipe and chatting with the villagers: "Li Kanshan, what are you guys talking about?"

Li Kanshan and his group were chatting animatedly. When they heard that it was the mountain god who appeared, they quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, saying, "Welcome, Grandpa Mountain God. We are just chatting about what happened when we were learning to drive."

Xu Boan was still a little surprised when he heard this. The people who were sitting here chatting with Li Kanshan were at least over 50 years old, and Li Kanshan himself was already in his 60s. Could it be that he had also signed up for driving lessons?
Xu Boan said to Li Kanshan: "Oh? Have you also signed up for driving lessons?"

Li Kanshan said with a smile: "In reply to the mountain god, I have indeed signed up and have been practicing these days. I didn't intend to learn it, but as the head of the village, I have to set a good example for the villagers.
Besides, it never hurts to learn more, but I am old now, so it is really hard for me to learn! So I am discussing this with my fellow villagers here when I have nothing to do! "

After hearing what Li Kanshan said, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but sigh that this old comrade Li Kanshan is really keeping up with the times. No wonder he has been the village chief for so many years and still has such a high prestige in people's hearts.

Seeing that the old village chief still remembered to learn new skills at such an old age, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but admire Li Kanshan and said, "Li Kanshan, your learning attitude is commendable. I really appreciate it. If you want to learn how to drive, you just need to practice hard. I encourage every adult in Kaoshan Village to sign up for lessons, so that it will be more convenient when you encounter any emergency in the future."

Li Kanshan said: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for your praise of me. Just as you said, now the villagers of Kaoshan Village, including men, women, old and young, have actively devoted themselves to learning. Everyone wants to make Kaoshan Village better and better, so no one wants to fall behind."

Xu Bo'an praised, "That's right. You all need to think and work together to make Kaoshan Village stronger and better and make everyone's life prosperous! Well, today I came here to bring you some delicious food. Please move aside and make room for me to put it down for you."

When Li Kanshan and his companions heard that the Mountain God was going to reward them with food again, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They quickly stood up and moved aside, waiting for the Mountain God's delicious food to arrive.

Living in today's society where we have no worries about food and clothing and are used to eating the food at home every day, we still need to go out to eat delicious food to satisfy our cravings.

The little people in the bonsai world had never tasted any delicious food. Even the white flour and rice that we are used to were given by Xu Bo'an, not to mention other foods. So when they heard that the mountain god was going to give them delicious food, they couldn't help but be beaming with joy. Many of the little people even swallowed their saliva when they heard the word "delicious food". The delicious food given by the mountain god was food for the gods. How could it be worse? It must be absolutely delicious.
Of course, they have never tasted durian! Otherwise, at least most people would not have the idea that "food from gods is good".

Seeing that the little ones had made room, Xu Boan opened the takeaway box, picked up a spoon from the kitchen, and prepared to start dividing the food.

Just as he was about to take action, Xu Bo'an suddenly remembered that the population of Kaoshan Village had increased a lot in recent days, and it was not like before when only a bottle cap of food was enough for everyone to share. Now he had to prepare more for the little ones.

So he scooped the turtle soup and meat into five mineral water bottle caps, and then put them into the earthen building courtyard of the Bonsai World Kaoshan Village. This took Xu Boan a lot of effort, after all, the bottle caps were too small for him.

The spaceship did not shrink when Xu Bo'an put the food in, so the little people only saw a dark mass above their heads, and the darkness that covered the sky appeared. Then they saw one after another large jars of food falling from the sky on the open space. It took five large jars of food before it stopped. The little people stared at the miraculous operation of the Mountain God.

After Xu Bo'an put the things in, he said to the village chief Li Kanshan: "Okay, this time I'm going to give you turtle soup from the fairyland. Li Kanshan, you'll be responsible for distributing it to everyone. While it's still hot, let everyone drink it. Make sure everyone gets a portion. If it's not enough, just tell me!"

The little ones kneeling on the ground heard that the reward given by the Mountain God this time was actually turtle soup from the fairyland. Those who had heard rumors about turtles before widened their eyes in disbelief. Those who had never heard of turtles only knew that what the Mountain God gave them must be a good thing, but they had no idea how good it was.

One of the young men, who had never heard of soft-shelled turtles, spoke up first: "Grandpa Mountain God, please allow me to ask a question, what is a soft-shelled turtle?"

Before Xu Bo'an could answer, someone in the crowd who had heard of the turtle legend answered first: "You don't need to bother our mountain god with this question. Although I have never eaten turtle, I once heard people chatting on the street that only a small group of extremely wealthy people can eat turtles."

One of them said, "Yes, yes. I heard that turtles are rare aquatic treasures that are not commonly seen. They live in deep pools and streams. It is extremely difficult to catch them, let alone eat them. Even the richest families can hardly eat one!"

Another person said, "You are absolutely right. During the years I worked as a cook, I heard that soft-shelled turtle was an extremely precious delicacy at court banquets. The emperor and nobles enjoyed soft-shelled turtle to show their nobility and luxury."

An elderly man in the crowd said slowly, "When I was a kid, I heard rumors that the turtle was either the messenger of the Dragon King or the mount of a certain god. It's really magical!"

"Oh, no wonder when I was a kid, I often heard elders say that eating soft-shelled turtles can strengthen the body and prolong life. It is even said that it can prolong life." One of them said.

After listening to people's discussions, one of the most honest young men said, "Ah, this turtle soup is so precious, how can ordinary people like us drink it? It would be a waste if we drank it! It should be drunk by the old mountain god."

When the people heard this, they hurried to the direction of the mountain temple with a very pious look, and said in unison: "Thank you for the reward, Grandpa Mountain God, but this turtle soup is too precious, I hope Grandpa Mountain God will take back the reward,

Drinking this turtle soup is not very useful for us, it can only satisfy our cravings, but you are the mountain god who blesses us with peace and well-being. You should drink this turtle soup, so that you can take care of your immortal body and bless the villagers of Kaoshan Village with health for generations!"

Xu Bo'an felt extremely warmed when listening to the villagers' words. When the villagers received the delicious food rewarded by him and heard that it had the effect of prolonging life, the first person they thought of was not him, but him, the mountain god.

Although he, the mountain god, is indeed the biggest supporter of Kaoshan Village now, if it were a selfish person, the first thing he would think of would definitely be himself, and he would not care about the problems of future generations. This not only proves once again the simplicity of the people of Kaoshan Village, but also proves from the side that they are not villains who only pursue immediate interests, but some people who have a long-term vision and are very thoughtful.

Xu Bo'an couldn't help but said with emotion: "Haha, okay, I understand your intentions. But how can I take back what I gave away? Just accept it. This is settled, Li Kanshan, you are responsible for arranging people to distribute the turtle soup!"

After hearing the words of the Mountain God, everyone felt relieved. Li Kanshan, who was kneeling on the ground, said on behalf of the villagers: "On behalf of all the residents of Kaoshan Village, I would like to thank the Mountain God for his great kindness!"

Xu Bo'an changed the subject and said, "By the way, when you have time, arrange for someone to pick some mountain yellow and make some sour juice. I have some use for it."

Xu Boan did this because he wanted to stock up on some hangover liquid. In case the sales at Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory were better than he expected, he couldn't cut off the supply.

Hearing what the Mountain God said, Li Kanshan had no reason to refuse, and immediately kowtowed and said, "I understand. I will do what the Mountain God ordered as soon as possible!"

Xu Bo'an said softly, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys hurry up and eat while it's hot."

Li Kanshan and his group knelt to see off the Mountain God. After a while, he stood up and told Li Wufu, Niu Junfeng and others around him to distribute the turtle soup to everyone. (End of this chapter)
