Chapter 34 Strange Things Happen Every Year

One week later, East China International College will start its summer vacation. Zhou Ziang also made arrangements for this winter vacation.

During this week, three things happened in two places in the southwest mountainous area.

These three things are indirectly related to Xiaoxian.

The first one happened in a very inconspicuous corner of Baijia Ancient Town. After winter, the lush plantain green leaves in spring and summer in Baijia Ancient Town with less snow also disappeared. It was a tree that no one had noticed before. Instead, it bloomed.

It was a pear tree, and the tree seemed to have grown overnight. The people in the town watched the pear tree grow there all the time, and it bloomed only after it was ready to grow.If it doesn't open, it will cause a sensation in the whole town and passing tourists.

After the flowers bloomed, people in the town knew that the tree was a pear tree.The buds grow all over the branches overnight. Not long after the buds grow, the ancient town of Baijia on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau ushered in a burst of winter rain.It was a lingering rain.

After the rain, the pear blossoms bloomed layer by layer like winter snow, and the slender yellow stamen calyx poked out the petals.

The flowers bloomed for half a month without falling a single petal. People who walked under the pear tree would inadvertently raise their heads, obsessed with the pure white at the end of the pear tree branches and leaves.

The second and third events happened in the same place, so let's put them together for now.

In terms of public awareness, the second and third incidents are much smaller, because they happened in Ge Village, a small Han family village with relatively little news.

After winter, there are more villagers sitting at the head of the village. In addition to basking in the sun to keep out the cold as in previous years, there is also an additional scenery at the head of the village.

"It's really rare. I said that there are so many wild flowers blooming on the few acres of Zhujia's land, which is a waste of fertility. How will we plant rice next spring?" Although the villagers who have been farmers for generations A field of purple wildflowers, ?There is some confusion about the flowering in this wrong season, but everyone attributes the reason to the fact that this winter is warmer than previous years.

How big Ge Village can be, and the news that Zhu Shi's army wants to farm has spread throughout the village within a few days.It's just that it was Zhu Shijun himself who signed the agreement with the village chief, and the villagers didn't know that the real "landlord" in those acres of land was Zhu Xiaoxian, who had only turned seven years old during the Chinese New Year.

"Look, Mrs. Lian still brings the little girl of the Zhu family with her in the field every day. I heard that they use the grass to feed the livestock to be fried and eaten." , A lot of people died, and what the villagers put in their pots and bowls were hot and sour cabbage that had been pickled a few months earlier.

On the ground full of purple alfalfa flowers, Zhu Xiaoxian was checking the growth of alfalfa (muxu) flowers.I don't know if it's because alfalfa is an annual herb, but the effect of using the spiritual liquid soaked from the cotyledons is only to make the tendons of the alfalfa grass thicker, and the growth period is only shorter. As for the taste, it depends on Aunt Lian Craft up.

"Little Xian, don't fool Sister Lian, these grasses for pigs are really edible?" Sister Lian's spine was about to be poked to death by those laughing eyes behind her.

"Of course, Sister Lian, any kind of crop, as long as it is cooked properly, it can be a top-notch delicacy. An elder I knew before, my master, once ate a vegetarian dish made from young leaves of alfalfa when he was traveling in the city. .” Xiaoxian recalled some past events of Yuntengmen, and felt more sentimental.

In order to conceal her emotions, Xiaoxian put on a more cheerful tone: "Heat the vegetable oil thoroughly, then squash the purple garlic, saute it with oil, pick up the old leaves and tendons of the alfalfa, and fry it in the wok Stir-fried, if there are rice cakes or the like, add them in, the taste will be even better."

Hearing what Xiao Xian said in detail, Aunt Lian also took note of it carefully.The Chinese New Year is almost here, and before the Chinese New Year, every household also makes some rice cakes.

"Ah, it's almost two o'clock, the old man is about to wake up from his nap, Xiaoxian, stop playing in the mud, you have to go back, you forgot, the old man asked you to learn to read from today," Aunt Lian hurriedly said The alfalfa sprouts picked in his hand were thrown into the wicker basket, and Xiaoxian was urged to come up.

"Sister Lian, what's the hurry? You just forgot. Grandpa has been staring at the pear tree behind the house for half an hour every day when he takes a nap. We walked back slowly and moved the table to the yard. The timing was just right. It's time." Xiao Xian has grasped the personalities of Zhu Shijun and Sister Lian, Zhu Shijun is a rather calm person, he seems to be in debt to Xiao Xian, the only time he lost his temper in half a year , It was the "Yezi" incident.Aunt Lian has a quick temper, and usually cooks and sweeps the floor like a gust of wind.

What Xiao Xian is familiar with in the village is the village chief's family. The village chief's wife, Aunt Jin, is a fast-talking speaker. The village chief is often so angry that he smokes by the side, and after smoking, he feels sorry for the cigarette money.

After returning from the Miao family village that time, the relationship between the Han family and the Miao family also eased a little. I heard that after the Chinese New Year, after Li Quqi came back from the outside, the great wizard in the Miao village recovered, and the village and the village returned to normal. Sit down and discuss the matter of repairing the shared road next year.

Xiaoxian and Aunt Lian returned home unhurriedly, Zhu Shijun really got up, stood behind the house, and studied the pear tree that bloomed pear blossoms for no reason.

The pear tree in Baijia Ancient Town has already amazed the eyes of the townspeople and tourists, but if they see the pear tree in Zhujia's backyard, they may not even be able to close their mouths.

Even though Zhu Shijun had seen countless exotic flowers and plants, one day more than a month ago, when Zhu Xiaoxian woke him up from the bed one morning and said that the pear blossoms behind the house were blooming, Zhu Shijun was also stupid Eye.

Winter is a lonely season, Leigong Mountain and Montenegro are quietly losing their colors.A cloud of pear blossoms quietly rose behind the Zhu family.

The pear blossoms of Zhu's family have a long flowering period and a strong fragrance. When they sleep at night, the same sweet taste as those white pear trees lingers on the bedside of every villager.

In previous winters, the elderly and children in the village who were prone to coughing have slept more peacefully recently.

"Grandpa, I knew you were staring at the pear tree in a daze again, and you kept saying 'the dead tree is in spring'." Zhu Xiaoxian looked at the sea of ​​flowers and was very happy. This time, the pear tree can hang at least 500 flowers. Many fruits.

"Xiaoxian, you've gone to the village again, alas, I don't know what your land will grow next year, and those rice seeds, I didn't take them out to bask in the sun," Zhu Shijun Shaking his head, the figure of the little granddaughter in front of him looked a little blurry.

Recently, something seems wrong with his body. At this age, he needs a physical examination once a year. After the new year, he should go to the hospital in Guiyang for a good examination.
