The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 9: The Nostalgic Li Family House
The old man looked about six or seventy years old, with a cigarette in his hand and plain clothes, even if he was
This place is the famous gossip production area in the village, and it is also the busiest place in the village after dinner.

When Li Yuan was young, every time he went home to eat at noon, he would see many old people here to digest their food.

In Li Yuan's memory, it seems that the most frequently heard proverb on the topic of health is 'walk a hundred steps after a meal, and live to 99'.

In that era, although televisions were popular, mobile phones were still a rarity.

The old people in the life of grandparents seem to be not very interested in these new things. The only pleasure is to come out after dinner, sit under the tree, play cards, and play chess.

Although there are far fewer young people in today's ditch, and more elderly people and children of three or four years old are left behind, but even so, it is still full of childhood atmosphere.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but really miss those days in his heart.

I miss that every time it's meal time, I have to listen to the sentence shouted from all directions in the village: "Li Yuan, your mother is calling you to go home for dinner!"

"Uncle Wang, long time no see, how are you?"

Li Yuan smiled and walked to Uncle Wang's side and asked.

When Uncle Wang saw Li Yuan talking to him, he squinted his eyes for a long time, and then asked tentatively, "Are you...Xiao Yuan from the Li family at the end of the village?"

I haven't seen him for too many years, so it's obvious that Uncle Wang is only asking tentatively based on the impression in his memory.

When Li Yuan heard that Uncle Wang really recognized him, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Well, it's me, Xiao Yuan."

There was obviously a hint of joy in Uncle Wang's expression, and he looked at Li Yuan lovingly.

"It's really Xiaoyuan? I haven't seen you for many years, but you have grown up so much? You have been in school for a few years now, why did you come back suddenly? Could it be that you dropped out of school?"

"Xiaoyuan, let me tell you, young people still have to go to school and be promising!"

In the memory of the older generation, going to school is still a bit of a luxury.And being admitted to university is still a very honorable thing.

It's just that they don't know that the time outside is changing now, and school is no longer the only way out, let alone the standard for judging whether a child is successful.

Li Yuan replied with a smile: "Uncle Wang, I have already graduated, this time I just come back to take a look and stay for a while."

Although Uncle Wang didn't quite understand why Li Yuan came back, the smile on his face was an unconcealable kindness. Even if he looked at Li Yuan, who was already in his twenties, it seemed to him that he was still running around in that village. child.

Saying goodbye to Uncle Wang, along the way Li Yuan met many familiar villagers. Although some of them had forgotten their names, the smiles on their faces were as friendly as usual.

Looking at the stone benches covered with foam and cushions placed at the door of the house on both sides of the road, Li Yuan seemed to have returned to the time when he was a child watching outdoor movies.

this moment……

Li Yuan only felt extremely relaxed and at ease in his heart.

Walking along the path, it didn't take long for Li Yuan to find the former old house.

The old house has not been lived in for more than ten years. Although the parents will ask someone to clean it up every few years, it lacks fireworks and popular courtyards, and it feels abnormally cold when viewed from a distance.

The door of Li Yuan's old house is still made of wood.

When the door was pushed open, there was a creaking sound, which made people feel a little toothless.

When the gate was opened, the spacious courtyard was instantly displayed in front of Li Yuan's eyes, but the huge courtyard seemed a little abnormal and desolate at this moment.

Around the house, there are still the oldest mud walls made of straw.

And the function of this mud wall is not to prevent thieves, but to enclose one's own territory.If it is used to prevent thieves, it is better to say that he is a kind of sign.

In order to tell others, there is a Lord here.

The courtyard of Li Yuan's house is not small, and the house occupies an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters, but it is indeed not the largest in the village, it can only be regarded as upper-middle class.

And in the countryside, even if the land of [-] square meters is compared with that of [-] square meters, the price is actually not much different.After all, in the countryside, land is not that valuable.

Li Yuan looked at the old house whose walls had collapsed in front of him, and felt more and more kind in his heart.

It's just... so many weeds, and the old house that can no longer shelter from the rain, Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems... I'm busy this afternoon."

Li Yuan took off the bamboo basket on his back, and was not in a hurry to clean up the house. Instead, he packed the old wild ginseng and mushrooms he had just picked on the mountain together, and then went out.

Twenty or ten minutes later, Li Yuan came back again, but this time it was not just Li Yuan who came back, but also a middle-aged man riding an electric tricycle.

"Second Uncle, I'm so sorry that you came here to help me."

Li Yuan jumped out of the car while unloading a lot of tools from the tricycle.

What hoes, sickles, shovels, and some iron pots and other messy things, these were all borrowed by Li Yuan from the village just now.

And this middle-aged man who helped him bring things back actually has no relatives with Li Yuan, but lives in the same village. Sometimes these strangers who have no blood relationship are actually a few closer than relatives. point.

Li Yuan just went to visit these people in the village and gave some mountain goods by the way. The second uncle saw that Li Yuan had a lot of things, so he wanted to come and give Li Yuan a gift.

Li Yuan knew the second uncle's kindness and couldn't hold him back, so he agreed.

After all, in the countryside, apart from this leisurely and comfortable life, human feelings... are also one of the most precious and rare things.

The second uncle parked the car, shook his head hurriedly and said: "It's nothing to do, the car is idle, and it's rare when it's useful."

While talking, the second uncle helped move the things into the yard.

"Xiao Yuan, how long can you stay here this time?"

Li Yuan: I don't know yet, maybe...will stay for a while.

Li Yuan came back mainly to enjoy this comfortable and leisure life. If it was about how long he would stay, he really hadn't thought about it seriously.

Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be leaving for a while.

"I don't know yet, maybe I will stay for a while."

Second Uncle: "Ah... But your old house is sometimes unoccupied, the main beam has collapsed, it should be uninhabitable."

Older people in rural areas know how to build a house. Although they can't build a house, the second uncle can see that the house is not strong.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Second Uncle, it shouldn't be a problem to repair it for a few days."

The second uncle was still a little worried: "Otherwise, you'd better stay with me for one night? It just so happens that your second aunt is not at home recently, and you can come back when the house is repaired."

Facing the enthusiasm of the second uncle, Li Yuan felt a little warm in his heart.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, the house on my uncle's mountain is also empty, if not, I will live there for a few days."

By the time the two of them were talking, things had already been packed.Seeing that Li Yuan insisted, the second uncle didn't force Li Yuan to leave, but before leaving, he still instructed Li Yuan.

"Okay, Xiaoyuan, if you need anything, go to Second Uncle, and I'll leave first."

Li Yuan sent off with a smile: "Okay, I got the second uncle!"

Afterwards, the second uncle rode the electric tricycle and left with a huge roar.
