Longing for mountain village life

Grandpa said as he pinched the goose's neck and placed it in the duck shed.

"The nutritional value of goose eggs is also very high, I remember when you were young, when you boiled eggs and duck eggs for you on Qingming Day, you felt small, just wanted goose eggs, and touched eggs with others, at that time geese were a good thing, there was no one at home, so you could only boil duck eggs for you, and then dye them magenta, put them in the egg net prepared by your mother, and run to school to play with classmates."

"One year, when you came home that day, you brought back more than 20 eggs, including eggs, duck eggs, and a huge goose egg, which startled us at that time, and quickly asked the teacher, thinking that what happened, it turned out that you won it in school."

Jiang Tian can't forget that day, he punched the town of Guanxi, played cockfighting with his classmates, couldn't play him one by one, and had to give him the eggs in his hand.

Grandpa said with a smile: "In those days, our family has been eating eggs, and then I really can't eat them, so I pulled out a few green onions and cut them into small pieces, poured soy sauce and vinegar, and then cut the eggs, dipped them and ate them, not to mention that the taste was not bad."

"You finally got a goose egg, and you put it there to keep others from moving, and after a few days did you find that it had deteriorated, and you cried for a long time."

Jiang Tian felt embarrassed, "Grandpa, it was all a long time ago, it's too shameful to say it."

"Haha, what's the shame in this, children are like this, your uncle still drew those things at that time, and they were all taken away by your aunt, otherwise you can still see it."

"Alas, speaking of your uncle, it's a pity, back then, I drew so well, I was obviously admitted, but I was given by others.... Forget it, don't mention this matter, it's too late to say anything, blame me for my incompetence back then, I couldn't help my son.

Seeing that his grandfather's eyes were moist, Jiang Tian comforted: "Grandpa, if there is really reincarnation in this world, my uncle should also grow into a young man, don't be sad."

"Hopefully, the next time you go to your aunt's place, you can ask her for those paintings, at that time, the family was poor and there was no camera, and it was all painted by your uncle."

"Good!" Jiang Tian agreed, the reason why he said to go to the aunt was because the aunt rarely came back, after all, without the uncle as a relative, the relationship was relatively weak.

Not only the aunt, but also several other relatives are reluctant to return to this poor mountain village, they finally rely on hard work to go to the big city, and it is not interesting to come back.

"If you are in love, but you have to take a good look at the woman's character, beautiful is secondary, as long as it is not too ugly, but the character must be good, Da Niu is an example, I am also strange, when the two of them got married, it was obviously very good, the woman's personality was also good, just a few years after marriage, she also took care of the family, and it was good for the elderly, but how did it change now?"

Jiang Tian opened his mouth and said: "After going to the big city, the thoughts in my heart are different, and now there are so many short videos, all kinds of poisonous chicken soup, it is easy to change a person." "

Is it so scary?" Grandpa was puzzled.

"This is just what I said lightly, now a group of people have come out, and their names are called fraudulent marriage families." Jiang Tian remembered the news he had seen before, "It is to fall in love with the man first, quickly confirm the relationship, and then get married in a short time, but the woman wants a lot of bride money, at least one hundred and twenty thousand, if you don't give it, she won't marry you."

"It's okay for a man to have money at home, but if he doesn't have money, he goes out to borrow money, and when he gets the bride price money, after getting married, the woman runs away, and the bride price money will not come back, and no one can be found, maybe the average man thinks it is a loss, so forget it."

"However, these men who borrowed money, the family is already difficult, but also lent money to the bride price, as a result of the woman ran away, some men are easy to do some very extreme things, a few days ago there was a news that a man borrowed 300,000 as bride money, and even 200,000 of them are still usury, I didn't expect the woman to run."

"The man searched desperately, finally found the woman's home, drank alcohol and took a knife and went, the family of six, and two children were all killed, and then the man turned himself in."

Grandpa stopped, "Oh, why bother, so what I just said is right, you must first understand the character of the other party, just like this kind of thing, women cheat money, men are tricked into killing people's entire families, and they are in prison, which is irreparable grief for both families."

"So, don't force us to get married, or this could happen." Jiang Tian said with deep meaning.

Grandpa pretended to be angry, "Why, you still want to kill people?"

"Not to kill, but to give us time!"

Grandpa suddenly realized, "It turned out to be waiting for me here, you child, ghostly and strange, whether it is work or marriage, there is a way for me to stop urging."

"Okay, I'll try to mention it as little as possible in the future, you still need to have a career first."

The older generation is like this, either hoping that the child will find a stable job, or urging to get married and have children, fortunately, he is now in the mountain village, if he is at home, it is estimated that his parents are also urging, but compared to other families, it is much less, after all, both are busy with work.

Listening to his grandfather's meaning, Jiang Tian hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I'll go to the village chief and ask him about the land contracting."

"Okay, there you go!"

Jiang Tian went out of the house and came to the old village chief's house, and found that he was not there, and the eldest lady at home said that the village chief had gone to the village committee.

He ran to the village committee again, just in time to see the old village chief spinning around, as if something was going on.

"Village chief!"

Before Jiang Tian could continue to speak, the old village chief seemed to have found someone to confide in, and like pouring beans, a series of words rolled out.

"Baby, your body is fine, thank you last time, otherwise the children of the Daniu family will be broken."

"I'm okay."

"Alas, this heavy rain has ruined too many things, and the crops in the field have also been washed down, your family's bud rice is okay, there is not much loss, other people's will not work, this is not ripe and poured, you must quickly get it out, otherwise it is easy to rot in the ground, there is not much to cultivate, now it has suffered such a big loss, and it cannot be sold for a few dollars, and no one wants to farm."

At that time, they will go out to work, and our Taoshan village will not live up to its name.

The old village chief sighed continuously, and Jiang Tian found an opportunity to speak.

"Village chief, can I contract a few acres of land?"
