Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Hope Village

For Lou Xiao'e, who grew up in the city, everything in the village was very strange.

Accompanied by Liu Guozheng, I wandered around the village for a whole day and climbed a mountain. Unfortunately, the mountain was barren, with no scenery and no roads. After I went up, I didn't dare to come down, so I was carried down by Liu Guozheng.

In one day, their figures could be seen everywhere in the village.

The two of them got along more and more naturally.

Especially when they were resting in the cafeteria, the two of them sat and looked into each other's eyes. The light in each other's eyes could shine into their hearts. At this moment, their hearts were tightly embraced, and their eyes were full of love.

At this moment, time seems to have stopped, just to record this wonderful encounter.

"Sour, too sour."

The sudden sound was like a stone thrown into the calm water, causing ripples.

"Li Dabao, get out of here."

"It just ruined this beautiful moment."

"Dabao, exercise harder tomorrow."

"Li Dabao, you are jealous,"

"That's right, Dabao, you should find one as soon as possible, and stop envying Guozheng."

"Ha ha"

"..."

Liu Guozheng and Lou Xiaoe were not the only ones in the cafeteria.

During this period of time, many people came in. When they saw Liu Guozheng and the other person, they were all quiet and didn't want to disturb them. Such a scene was not common, at least Erleng and Li Xiujuan had never seen it.

Li Dabao smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had angered everyone and delayed people's enjoyment of the "scenery". He said nothing and sat down dejectedly with the third brother and the others.

Hearing the laughter, Liu Guozheng also reacted. When he saw that the seats around him were full of people, his face turned red and he felt a little shy.

Lou Xiao'e's face was also red like the afterglow of the sunset, reflecting on her cheeks, and her shy look made people want to protect her. Liu Guozheng was stunned, but there were too many people at the moment, so he resisted the urge to go up and kiss her.

People of this era are still very conservative.

In some rural areas, there is not even the concept of blind dates. The parents of both parties get to know each other. You have a girl who is about to get married, and he has a boy who is about to get married. They just chat and then get married. They may not even have met each other until the time of marriage.

At that time, the life of the older generation was very hard, especially in rural areas. Most of their actions were for survival, and marriage was naturally a part of survival. Since it was about survival, there was naturally no such thing as love.

When living conditions improved, in the 1970s and 1980s, rural blind dates only mentioned material conditions, and love was still secondary. It was not until the 1990s, with the continued development of social economy, that after material needs were met, spiritual needs naturally came. As the world became more and more open, and outside ideas were spread through television and computers, young people naturally began to pursue love.

After the 21st century, marriage has become something else.

Therefore, this kind of performance of Liu Guozheng and Lou Xiao'e is considered very special by most people. In their cognition, it can only be described as special, without the word romantic.

"Dabao, why didn't I see Brother Li today?"

Brother Li, that is Li Xiangdong, Liu Guozheng quickly changed the subject.

"Has he not come back yet? At noon, he said he and his sister-in-law were going out to do something. I didn't ask any more questions."

I looked around and sure enough, there was no sign of Li Xiangdong. I didn't know where he had gone, and neither of them had returned yet.

"Brother Li and the others are back."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Li Xiangdong and his wife come in from outside.

"Guo Zheng, I want to tell you something."

As soon as Li Xiangdong came in, he walked towards Liu Guozheng. Seeing that they seemed to be busy, Lou Xiaoe wanted to leave and give them some space. Li Xiangdong hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to leave. It's not a big deal."

"Brother Li, what's the matter? Tell me."

Liu Guozheng also wanted to know why Li Xiangdong was so anxious. But it shouldn't be a bad thing. Since Li Xiangdong woke up, he has become cheerful. He is no longer as stern as before, and the children in the village dare not be alone with him.

"Guozheng, this afternoon, I went to handle my household registration and moved it to our village. We also need a receipt certificate from our village with an official seal."

Liu Guozheng was stunned for a moment.

I really didn't expect that Li Xiangdong would do such a thing. It was really unexpected.

Many people tried to change their rural household registration to urban household registration so that they could eat commercial grain, but Li Xiangdong was different. He left the commercial grain uneaten and wanted to go back to the village to eat dirt. When he submitted the application, people thought he was a fool.

"Brother Li, why are you doing this?"

Liu Guozheng really didn't know what to say.

"Guo Zheng, this is what your sister-in-law and I have discussed. We both like this place and want to completely integrate into the village. Like everyone else, we want to contribute to the construction of the village."

Li Xiangdong's words were sincere and moving.

Liu Guozheng also said seriously: "Brother Li, there is really no need for you to do this. Why don't you and your sister-in-law think about it again and discuss it again?"

"Guo Zheng, we have already thought about it."

It is obvious that Li Xiangdong and Zhao Hongying were not acting on impulse.

"Okay, then on behalf of Hope New Village, I welcome Brother Li and Sister Li."

This is the only way now. If I don't agree, I will just leave them here alone.

"it is good."

Then there was warm applause.

"Master Yuan, in order to welcome Brother Li and Sister Li to officially join Hope Village, we will have an extra meal tonight."

The official joining of Li Xiangdong and Zhao Hongying is a happy event for Hope New Village and is worth celebrating.

"Guozheng, tell me, what should I add?"

Master Yuan also agreed to add more food, but there were only so many things in the canteen warehouse, and except for the seasonings, it was all meat, and now everyone was tired of eating meat.

At this point, Liu Guozheng was also stunned. He just wanted to add some extra food, but what should he add?

The villagers were well fed and had enough meat every day.

"Erlang, Laosan, Dabao, go to the Xishan warehouse and bring over a few boxes of those canned fruits."

I temporarily got about ten boxes of canned fruit from the Second World when I sent the driver off yesterday. They are all placed in the Xishan warehouse. They were originally prepared for New Year's Eve, but there are still about twenty days before the New Year.

Take it out in advance, open it all, put it in the pot, heat it up, and give each person a bowl as a snack.

The third brother and his companions did not ask where the canned fruit came from. Even if they did, Liu Guozheng would say that Zhang Long saw it on the black market and bought it.

This is also the excuse Liu Guo normally uses.
