Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Xu Chenghou's hometown is Yinkuangzi Village, Qingshangou Township, Kuandian. Going there from Fusong, you have to go through Hunjiang, Tonghua, Huanren, and then go to Qingshangou.

There are no highways in this day and age, and driving is actually not fast.

Besides, there are old and young people in this group, how can they drive forward all the time?

So in the afternoon, everyone stopped in Tonghua and found a hotel to stay overnight.

Now that there are five cars, the people at the hotel thought they were some kind of cadre, and they gave them a very warm reception.

This group of children, except for Xu Haiyuan, was traveling far for the first time, and they all looked at everything new.

They slept in the car during the day, and didn't want to sleep at night, so they had to go for a walk.

What is there to see this big night? Let's all have a good rest.

I will stay here when we come back, and then I will take you to Yuhuangshan Zoo to see animals.

In order to coax the children to stay in the hotel honestly, Xu Shiyan could only promise to take them to play when he came back.

When the children heard that they could go to the zoo, they cheered up and stopped arguing to go out. They stayed in the hotel honestly.

Early the next morning, everyone continued to set off from Tonghua to Huanren.

Although Qingshangou Township is under the jurisdiction of Kuandian, it is actually closer to Huanren.

They found a place to rest in Huanren, had a meal, did some shopping, and then continued on their way.

Not far after passing Huanren, you will arrive at Qingshangou.

In this year and month, Qingshangou has not yet developed tourism. It is actually quite poor here, and you can see it along the way, and the houses are not very good.

Ever since he passed Huan Ren, Xu Chenghou kept looking out of the window.

Back then, he couldn't get along in his hometown, so he had to take his wife and children with him and leave his hometown for Fusong.

Who would have thought that he, Xu Chenghou, would return in a glorious way one day?

Old lady, when did I come back that year? Shiqin didn't seem to go to school, did she?

How many years have passed, why does it seem that nothing has changed in my hometown?

When the car passed Qingshangou Township, Xu Chenghou looked at the scene outside and talked to Zhou Guilan.

Xu Chenghou came back once, but Zhou Guilan never came back since he left that year.

Looking at the familiar scenery in front of her, Zhou Guilan couldn't control her tears.

This is also the place where she was born and raised. After leaving for so many years, how could it be possible to say that she didn't think about it at all?

It has changed a bit, it seems that there are more residents than before, but the house is still quite old.

Hey, in our place, the land is bad, and we don’t harvest food.

The little pear trees and hawthorns planted by every household can't be sold, and they just eat and drink all year round. How can they develop?

Zhou Guilan looked outside, mumbling.

The car continued to drive forward, passed Yinkuangzi Village, and then went a short distance to Shijiagou.

At the mouth of Shijiagou, there is a big stone monument.

According to legend, when Liu Yong came to visit the local area, an old man lay paralyzed on the kang and wanted to see Mr. Liu.

His son carried him on his back and walked out of Shijiagou to the county town.

Mr. Liu saw that the son came to visit behind his father's back, and felt that he was quite filial, so he erected a filial son monument at the mouth of Shijiagou.

The old people say that the atmosphere of Shijiagou is suppressed by this stele, so it is getting poorer and poorer.

Shijiagou, Shijiagou, put a stele on the stone, wouldn't that be a bad idea?

Going in from the silver mine, the road conditions are getting worse and worse, and it is quite bumpy. After finally reaching the mouth of Shijiagou, it is really impossible to drive in.

So everyone got out of the car, Xu Shiyan and the others looked for a place to park, so they couldn't get stuck on the road.

Xu Chenghou pointed to the stele and told his grandchildren about the origin of the stele.

Don't look at the children who have been in the car for so long, but they are all very energetic.

Listening to grandpa telling stories now, all eyes widened, listening with gusto.

I heard from the elders that the stele could not be erected even after being erected twice.

Later, the person who erected the stele asked the son, saying that if the stele of a filial son cannot be erected, it must be because you have done something unfilial in the past.

The kid thought about it, and finally remembered that when he was young, he once hit his father with a broom.

Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao supported Xu Chenghou to go forward, and Xu Chenghou continued to tell stories to the children.

Someone advised that kid to kowtow to his father in apology, and after that, the monument was really erected.

Look, it's this monument. Xu Chenghou said, pointing to a big stone standing next to the mouth of the ditch.

Everyone looked at the big rock, a big black rock with some moss growing on it.

It can be vaguely seen that there are indeed words engraved on it.

But the years are too long, the wind and rain are covered with moss, and many characters are illegible.

Going in from the mouth of the ditch, everyone finally understands why this place is called Shijiagou.

It is really full of stones, all stone cannons, and there is not even a road.

Xu Shiyan looked at the stone cannon in front of him, but he was thinking about other things.

In fact, he came back twice in his previous life. In 1983, in order to get that bastard Xu Haichao, he came back and issued a certificate.

In 2016, Xu Shiyan came back with his brothers, fulfilling his old mother's last wish.

After Zhou Guilan got older, she always talked about her hometown and wanted to go back.

But until she passed away, she never had a chance to go back to her hometown.

In 2016, Xu Shixian and others were not too young.

The brothers discussed and said that while they can move, they should come back and take a look, even if they come back for their parents.

At that time, Xu Haibo drove a taxi, and Xu Jinping also had a car for traveling.

So the brother and sister drove the four elder brothers back to Shijiagou to have a look.

The stone cannon under my feet had already become a concrete road at that time, so it was easy to walk.

The houses are also different from what you see in front of you. They are all brick and tile houses, which are quite regular. How can they be like now, where they are still all stone and earth houses?

The ground is full of stone cannons, and it is difficult to walk. It is obviously only more than one mile away. Everyone went in after a lot of effort.

There are not many families in Shijiagou, and Xu's old house is in it.

Our family was here at the beginning, the lower part of Kan'er is our family, and the upper part of Kan'er is your grandpa's house.

When Xu Chenghou walked to the old house, the stone house was already dilapidated.

The old man pointed to the stone slope behind the house, and told the children.

See the trees over there? The peach and pear trees belong to our family.

When Ni Nai was pregnant with your father, she loved to eat green peaches, which are small fruits that have just fallen from the peach tree.

Sour and astringent, I don't know how she can eat it?

What Xu Chenghou said was to Xu Haibo.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the old man's mind was full of the past, and he couldn't help but tell the children about the past.

Your milk devoured all the fruit on that peach tree before it grows up.

I thought she loved peaches, and when the peaches were ripe, she brought back a basket of big blood peaches from our peach grove.

As a result, she didn't eat any of it. The old man said and laughed.

Come on, let's go up, the front is your grandpa's house.

Alas, your great grandpa and grandma were gone a few years ago, and now only your grandpa and grandma are left here.

Xu Chenghou pointed to the house on Kan'er and said.
