Hello, 1983

On the morning of the 17th day of the first lunar month, according to custom, hand-made noodles are eaten.

The eldest sister also pulled down the longest noodle on the pole of the curtain. This is for Xiaohuo.

It is said that longevity noodles can tie the legs of children to avoid being caught, and can live a hundred years.

After Liu Qingshan and his group finished eating the noodles, they left Jiapigou and set out on their journey north.

Because there are enough cars, we simply drive there, which is more convenient.

Otherwise, if you take the train, you must first go to Spring City to take the train to Harbin City, and then to Heihe, which is a lot of trouble.

It is nearly two thousand miles away, and it is expected to arrive in three or four days. After all, the road conditions are not familiar, and there is no expressway at this time, so we have to run the national highway.

There were five cars in total, two from Liu Qingshan's house, two from Brother Fei and the old squad leader, and one from Xiao Wu, enough for nearly twenty people to sit down.

As for the driver, don't worry about this, most of the people can drive, just change the drive.

These days, everyone is rushing to drive, unlike later generations, they are all tired and crooked.

Along the way, five cars formed a mighty convoy, which was still very eye-catching, because most of the cars running on the road were trucks, and occasionally there were jeeps and cars.

In the evening, I ran more than 300 kilometers and arrived at the first stop: Ha City, the capital of Longjiang Province.

Liu Qingshan was about to find a hotel to settle down first. Unexpectedly, after two phone calls, Xiao Wu said that he had contacted the guest house.

So everyone waited in place, and after a while, a military jeep drove them north, out of the city, and came to a sanatorium by the river.

This nursing home is mainly used to escape the heat in summer, so there are basically no people this month.

Accommodation and food are relatively high-end, and all are free, which also makes everyone know the energy of Xiao Wu and the others again.

At dinner, the stewed big river fish is the most popular. It is the beginning of spring, when the river water has just thawed. The so-called Kaijiang fish laying hens is very delicious.

The next day, the crowd hit the road and continued on.

This section of the national highway is Section 202, an asphalt road. A few years ago, due to the tense relations between China and the Soviet Union, this road was the most important troop transport line, so at present, the road conditions are good.

The further north you go, the fewer vehicles there are, and you often drive dozens of miles without seeing a single car.

As a result, several cars ran wild on the national road like wild horses that were off the reins, running and running, and they missed the original rest stop.

Seeing that it was going to get dark, and there was no way to go to the village or the store, but at this time, snowflakes fluttered in the sky again.

The edge of the snow melted down, and after dark, the temperature dropped sharply, and the road formed a thin layer of ice, like the surface of a mirror.

At this time, there are no anti-skid tires. When driving on the ice, the tires are slipping straight.

Here began to enter the mountain section, all going up and downhill.

Most of the cars they drove were jeeps, and they couldn't wear snow chains. Liu Qingshan immediately made a decisive decision: he couldn't go any further, and if he drove further, he would definitely have to turn into a ditch.

There is a fork in the road ahead.

No matter where he got there, he led the team down the road ahead.

Along the path, I walked around for ten miles and eight miles, and finally saw the lights in front of me.

When I got to the front, it turned out to be a small mountain village with dozens of households. It looked quite backward, and there was no electricity. The dim yellow windows of every household showed the light of either candles or kerosene lamps.

Even so, this little light made Liu Qingshan feel much more at ease.

He pressed the car horn a few times, and immediately the dogs barked everywhere. As soon as Xiao Wu stepped out of the car with one foot, he saw a dozen dogs, big and small, running wildly under the illumination of the headlights, which scared him quickly. Get back into the car again.

On the other hand, Li Tie Niu was not afraid at all, he stood firmly in front of the car, and shouted: Get out.

This voice was just like Zhang Fei's roar at Dangyang Bridge back then, and all the dogs in the village immediately grabbed their tails and ran back.

Amazing, even dogs are afraid of fierce gods. Xiao Wuhao was envious.

Liu Qingshan also got out of the car, and explained with a smile: Tie Niu wrestles with the bear every day, and has a bear smell on his body. These are ordinary stupid dogs, of course they are scared to pee.

Scared to pee, everyone also laughed, and felt that the word was used very appropriately.

At this time, the beams of flashlights began to shake in the yards of several households.

Then someone screamed: Oh, my mother, the police are here to catch the gambling!

During the winter leisure time, the rural people are all idle and have nothing to do, so they will inevitably get together to play together. At this time, mahjong has not been popularized, mainly because it is too expensive.

A pair of mahjong is more than 100, and most people can't afford it.

Most of them are playing poker, and there is also a kind of card, similar to mahjong, which is locally called watching small cards.

These are all small plays and purely for entertainment. The most annoying thing is to play Pai Gow. Often, after a year of hard work, all the money is lost for half a night.

This is gambling, and the arrest is relatively strict. If anyone dares to play the game and get a lottery and is blocked by the police, it will be lively.

For this kind of gambling den criminals, they are not polite at all. The glass in the house and the mirror in the house are all things that can be smashed.

As for those gamblers caught, let's ignore all three, seven and twenty-one, all of them will be picked up for you, and in the winter, they will all stand outside.

Then one by one, they saw a row of white buttocks, shivering in the cold wind.

As for human rights, that was not discussed at that time.

It is estimated that when people in the village saw big and small cars entering the village, they mistakenly thought they were gambling.

We were passing by, catching up with the snow, and staying in our village.

Liu Qingshan hurriedly shouted.

Soon an old sweat in a leather hat came over, with a strong local accent: I'm the village head Wang Dafu, where did you guys come from?

Looking at the light, the hat on the old man's head was actually made of roe deer leather, and he was wearing half-fur boots on his feet. From Liu Qingshan's point of view, it was made of the fur of Erdahan.

On a snowy day, there was no snow on the boots.

So he hurriedly handed over a cigarette: Hello, Village Chief Wang, we are from Ji Province. If you think it is convenient, you can get us some food and a place to sleep. , and can't drive on the road.

Okay, then I'll go to my house for dinner first, but I'll have to go to a few more places to find a place to sleep.

Village Chief Wang happily agreed. At this time, the people were all simple, and although they were not rich, they all had the heart to help those in need.

Everyone went to Wang Village Chief's house, there were two small earthen houses in total, and the house was almost full immediately.

Liu Qingshan looked down the room, there were a few simple and practical furniture, the situation was similar to the previous Jiapigou.

The village chief Zhang Luozhu borrowed tableware and benches from his neighbors, poured boiling water into a large bowl, and drank a bowl of hot water before warming up.

In the outhouse, there were a few women helping out, picking up food.

Serve the steaming sauerkraut soup first. It is estimated that the cooked pork belly left over from the Chinese New Year is cut into large thick slices and poured into the sauerkraut soup.

Then he brought up a large tea plate, which was full of meat, and everyone didn't know what kind of meat it was. Anyway, the shredded meat was quite thick.

The staple food is rice stubble water rice and sticky bean buns, which are hot.

Village Chief, what kind of meat is this?

Xiao Wu looked at the big piece of meat and didn't dare to put down his chopsticks.

The day before yesterday, an adahan ran into the village, grabbing grain and grass from a trough with the cattle and horses, and we killed him.

While talking, Village Chief Wang took out a square plastic bucket and poured wine into the big bowl.

Liu Qingshan knew that Madahan was also a species of deer, and the scientific name was moose.

It is the largest deer animal, much taller than cows and horses, and has a towering big drum on its back, just like a moose, so it is called a moose.

For such a big guy to mix into a herd of cattle and horses to pretend to be a domestic animal, isn't that the same as standing out from a group of chickens?

It's just a pity that this large deer animal has become less and less.

They can't raise them in Jiapigou either, because moose mainly don't live in forests, but aquatic swamps, and they don't have such terrain.

I heard that it was venison, so everyone started, tore off a piece, and chewed it in the mouth.

Eating large pieces of meat and drinking in large bowls, the folk customs here are really simple enough.

However, when going out, there is nothing wrong with being careful, so there are only a few people who can drink, which means everyone has a bowl of wine, and the rest are all stuffed.

After dinner, it was past 8 o'clock in the evening, and the villagers were not used to lighting lamps and cooking oil, so they spread out to sleep in each house.

For these people, Village Chief Wang found a total of more than ten families to find accommodation, and then arranged to live in. At this time, no one's housing was too generous.

Liu Qingshan lived at the village chief's house. Before going to bed, he took out ten pieces of great unity and gave them to the village chief's daughter-in-law.

But this simple rural woman, rubbing the apron around her waist with both hands, refused to accept anything.

Village Chief Wang on the side was also anxious: You are a young child who is unreasonable. No one is embarrassed. If you give money, don't live in my house as soon as possible!

There was no other way, Liu Qingshan could only take out a box of Clear Water Daqu from the car, and then took out two cigarettes, and Village Chief Wang happily accepted it.

The next day, when I got up, I went outside to take a look. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and Liu Qingshan knew that it was impossible to walk in this road condition.

If I had known this earlier, it would be better to take the train.

When it was time for breakfast, everyone gathered again and discussed it for a while, but they could only reluctantly admit the reality: they were temporarily trapped here.

When I asked the village chief, the village was called Wangjiaweizi, and it also guarded the continuous mountain.

On their side, the contract system was implemented relatively late, and the land was only allocated last year, and because of the lack of arable land, life was tight.

In this way, Liu Qingshan and the others are even more embarrassed to eat and drink here for free, and they don't accept the money, which is really worrying enough.

For breakfast, he had sauerkraut soup with pancakes. After eating, Liu Qingshan wandered around the village.

All in the village are short mud-thatched cottages, and a group of little dolls are watching the car around.

Some Amoy Boys pretended to hold the steering wheel with both hands, spinning back and forth, making a beeping sound from their mouths, making Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think of Er Xiaozi and their gang of stinky boys.

Just looking at it, I saw fifteen or six strong men, carrying tools such as cannons, ropes, clips, etc., and their mouths were still open. Listening to that, they wanted to go up the mountain to hunt roe deer.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but move in his heart, and hurriedly went up to ask: Are you here, there are a lot of roe deer?

One of the stout men laughed and said, Well, roe deer and sika deer and red deer all have old noses!

Liu Qingshan was overjoyed: Then wait, we will also follow you around in the mountains.

Don't be funny, you city people are not among them.

The big man shook his head and refused.

I also grew up in the mountains. Liu Qingshan explained and continued:

And we accept roe deer, sika deer, etc. A roe deer is 100 yuan, a sika deer is 200 yuan, and a large red deer is 250 yuan.

What!

The group of people immediately widened their eyes. The money they got all year round was not worth a sika deer.

This is a group of gods of wealth falling from the sky!
