House Dad’s Literary Life

When I returned from my hometown two days ago, Yang Huan, who started her “adventure” graduation trip with Ding Xiang, came to the mountains of Xiangxi.

To be precise, Ding Xiang’s hometown is a remote mountain range in Tuche Township, Yanye County, Maota City, Hunan Province.

I can go to see her at home. Yang Huan and Ding Xiang take the train to the city first, then take a five-hour long-distance bus to Yanye County. Going very hard).

When I arrived at Yanye County, Ding Xiang told Yang Huan that when she was studying, she slowly walked back. But now, well, there are roads repaired to the Tujia Township, Ding Xiang and Yang Huan took a three-wheeled passenger car (that is, a motorcycle head followed by a large box) and took the bus to the Tujia Township.

This passenger car is still open-top, eating gray and eating all the way, the two girls are somewhat gray-faced.

But fortunately, Yang Huan can accept that she came out of the countryside. This scene used to be her normal state. Therefore, she also laughed with Ding Xiang and said: “Sis Ding Xiang, I found that our hometown is It’s rural, but it’s still a little different. My home is in the basin, and your home is in the mountains.”

After arriving at Tuche Township, Ding Xiang took Yang Huan to find a small hotel to stay, because the night has come. They had a rest for the night, had breakfast the next morning, bought some Steamed Bun, and continued to set out!

The next journey was a big challenge for Yang Huan. She had to walk along with Ding Xiang, walked on a steep mountain road, and walked halfway through three high mountains. It was almost a noon before I came to Ding. Xiang’s Miao Village is under the mountain.

They also climbed along the dangerous stone steps like a ladder. Although the scenery along the way is very beautiful, and the more they climb, the more they can see through the gaps in the mountains, the layers of the distance are lush and lush, but Yang Huan has nothing. I am thinking about going to the east, I just want to go to Ding Xiang’s home as soon as possible, and then take a rest.

It was really two days and one night. When the sun was obviously westward and not far from the downhill, Yang Huan and Ding Xiang finally got home!

There are no special surprises. This is a poor, backward small village. The old buildings, except for the wooden structure, are similar to the poor and worn Wudaoku Village in Yang Huan. Of course, the current Wudaoku Village is much better. Even without Yang Yi, the people in the village have lived in brick houses. With Yang Yi, they are step by step to a happy and well-off life.

However, this is called the Baizhai Village, people are still very enthusiastic, see Ding Xiang and Yang Huan, all screaming and saying hello to Ding Xiang and Yang Huan, there are some children in the village, bare ass I also ran to Yang Huan and looked at her curiously. The dark eyes were still lively with their age.

“How are you!” Yang Huan was very tired, but he was happy to take out some small candy from his backpack and give it to these children.

This is to learn from her brother, Yang Yi will bring candy to the children in the village every time he returns to his hometown.

“Uncle Apo, they asked where you came from. I told them that you are my classmate, come over to play here, and then they are very happy and say welcome.” Ding Xiang helped Yang Huan translate Miao.

“Thank you, thank you uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandma!” Yang Huan quickly replied, gratefully nodded to the other side.

The people at Miao Village are also passionate about continuing.

Ding Xiang Translation: “Everyone said, didn’t say it in advance, so I didn’t prepare anything, it was too rude. Then I would like to invite you to dinner at home, and then you want to kill the chicken to welcome you.”

“So enthusiastic!” Yang Huan was somewhat flattered, but whoever asked her to go home to eat, where did she have a martial arts?

“Or I still forget it. I think everyone’s life is very difficult. It is not easy to raise chickens and ducks. I can go to your house and eat some food!” Yang Huan still calms down, she has experienced hardships, so she can for others’ sake.

Ding Xiang actually thinks so, but the enthusiasm of the uncles and grandmothers is the tradition of their stockade, so she didn’t mean to remind Yang Huan.

Now that Yang Huan refused, Ding Xiang also helped Yang Huan organize the language and persuaded the folks.

Back to Ding Xiang’s home, Yang Huan also met Ding Xiang’s grandmother. After the recovery, the grandmother was still healthy. Although the waist was already smashed and the ears were not so good, but still in the small field behind the stockade all day long. Plant vegetables, raise chickens, be self-sufficient, try not to bother others.

Ding Xiang’s grandmother also took Yang Huan and said that she was very talkative. Even if Ding Xiang couldn’t hear it, she couldn’t translate it.

Sitting with the old man for a while, Ding Xiang was busy making dinner. She and Yang Huan just ate a few Steamed Bun at noon and were already hungry.

“The phone can’t get out, there is no signal in this mountain. Hey, Sis Ding Xiang, let me help you!” Pull out the cell phone. Yang Huan, who wants to give Yang Yi a peace, regrets to come back and see Ding Xiang cooking. I also want to help, Ding Xiang can’t beat her.

“You climbed the mountain for a day, tired, you should take a break.” Ding Xiang was washed away by Yang Huan, and had to take a tub to wash vegetables. “If you call, you have to go to the village.” There is no signal tower here, hey, I have forgotten to tell you.”

“Nothing, I will say it tomorrow! I still feel tired when I climbed up, but I don’t feel tired when I see so many enthusiastic folks.” Yang Huan smiled and said while washing rice, “Sis Ding Xiang, your physical fitness ratio I am okay! I have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and I have no physical strength. I have not been tired after climbing a mountain!”

“I am used to it!”

Yang Huan and Ding Xiang are free: “However, then, your home is worse than I thought. I used to think that our hometown is so remote and poor, but I didn’t expect you to compare here. Our poorest time is still poor! Our hometown can at least repair the road, but on your mountain, there is no possibility of road repair.”

Ding Xiang sighed softly and said, “Yeah, I used to think that when I read the book, I will find a way to let the folk villagers of the rural village live a good life. Now…”

Ding Xiang can’t say anything, and the frustrated expression on his face has already explained everything.

“I can’t change, I can only go out.” Yang Huan couldn’t help but whisper when he thought of his experience after he left the countryside.

Ding Xiang smiled softly and said, “Yeah, but the thoughts of the older generation are hard to control. I can only hope for the younger generation. I also hope that my younger siblings have the opportunity to go out like me. Dashan, go to the outside world to see.”

“Reading… Reading is the best way to change your destiny.” Yang Huan is not without her more than half a year ago. Yang Huan, who has increased his experience, has a deep understanding of the idea of ​​changing his fate.

“In the past, we had a school in the mountain. It was built by a former grandfather who had taken a test of the talents. But he died very early. Later, the village sent us a private teacher called Tao Shuping. I followed the master of Tao to learn and count. Grandpa Tao does not speak English, but he is really diligent and patiently teaches us the basics. Until one day, Grandpa Tao told me that Ding Xiang, you should go to the countryside to study, to go to junior high school, to learn more. Something…” Ding Xiang seems to remember the story, talking to Yang Huan about the past.

With the help of Grandpa Tao, Ding Xiang went out, but when she was in high school, Grandpa Tao’s body was gone, she died of illness, but Grandpa Tao still left a sum of money to fund Ding Xiang to finish high school. The rest of the road, of course, is Ding Xiang’s own work, school fees, and slowly came out.

“Later? After the death of Grandpa Tao, what happened to the school?” Yang Huan heard tears in her eyes, and she wiped the tears in her eyes and asked.

After Tao’s grandfather left, the school was once again ruined. Although several private teachers came in succession, not everyone had the selfless dedication of Tao’s grandfather. Each and everyone was scared by Bai’s bitter place. Stayed for two weeks and then ran all!

Ding Xiang wants to go back to teach after finishing high school, but the uncles and grandmothers of rural village do not agree. They say that Ding Xiang is the first college student in Baizhai Village. She can’t help but go to school. She wants to set an example for the children!

“What can I do? There is another generation who have no chance to study.” Yang Huan said with anxiety.

“It’s okay, it’s alright now.” Ding Xiang had a smile on his face.

On the last winter vacation, Ding Xiang went home, not only took her grandmother down the mountain to see a doctor, but also went to the village to find a solution to solve the problem of no teachers willing to come to the rural village to teach children to read – she personally pay, increase subsidies for private teachers I used money to keep them, and I still invited two teachers to take turns to teach in the mountains and solve the problem that they have no way to reunite with their families on the mountain for many years!

Yang Huan After listening to Ding Xiang’s light and windy story, her face was full of surprise expression.

“No wonder, Sis Ding Xiang, I said how you usually can’t afford to spend money!” Yang Huan was very moved to see Ding Xiang.

Yeah, that makes sense!

Before Yang Huan and Guo Ziyi still felt very strange, why Yang Yi gave Ding Xiang a very high salary, but Ding Xiang has been reluctant to spend! She even reluctant to buy a new set of clothes for herself. I usually wear them to wear those old clothes!

Yang Huan is not the same, although she did not spend a lot of money, but after the family conditions are good, she is not as tight as before, the money is also spent. Usually she went to Ding Xiang to go shopping to buy clothes (very ordinary pedestrian street), Ding Xiang all shirked, even took the clothes that Mo Fei gave her before and said to Yang Huan: “I have so many new clothes, I can’t wear them. Now!”

correct! Guo Ziyi also suggested with Ding Xiang that she would buy a house in Jiangcheng, but this is an investment that only makes a profit, but Ding Xiang did not agree.

It turned out that the money she saved was used here.
