Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 27

The sky was already dark, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier without any sign of stopping.

On the muddy mountain road, only Su Mu's car could be seen with its flashing headlights on. The car just roared in the puddle, but didn't move at all.

"Why don't you just throw it here, it's getting late now, and we'll fix it when the weather clears tomorrow." Seeing that the rain ponchos worn by the others didn't block the rain, everyone's hair was dripping water, but The car still couldn't get out under the traction of the mules.He thought, maybe tomorrow he can find a way to get the car into the space, and then find a better place to release it.

Liang Changgeng panted and replied: "You can't throw it here, the rain has no intention of stopping now, if it gets bigger and bigger, the water in the puddle will probably flood the bottom of the car, although we don't know much about it. I know this thing, but it’s all made of iron sheets, and it’s definitely not good to go through the water. It can’t get out after pulling it like this, the wheels must be sunk in the puddle. We have so many strong boys, and we can lift the car up ! Idiot, get ready to put on the rope!"

"Okay!" A naive voice answered, and then a few strong young men began to tie a big rope to the pole they brought, and they really planned to lift the car!
The weight of a car is measured in tons!They have to help carry it out!Su Mu was a little dumbfounded. Speaking of it, he was just a fellow villager many years ago, not even close relatives, but now he had to put in so much effort, he really felt a little unaccustomed to it.

"Don't rush the mule, let's just lift up the front wheels and drag them forward a few steps!" Liang Changgeng ordered, let the pole pass under the front pan of the car, and eight people together lifted the two wheels. a pole.The thumb-thick rope was hung on everyone's shoulders, and dense raindrops fell. Under the light, there was a rough beauty.

Listening to their chant, Su Mu could feel the front half of the car being gently lifted up, and he was very moved!

This is the human heart. Compared with those who only have a money heart, you can feel spiritually full enjoyment when you are with them.

"Boom!" After tossing for nearly 10 minutes, the car finally rushed out of the puddle!

"Everyone get in the car, we still have a long way to go to the village." Su Mu tried his best to invite the villagers who helped to go back by car.As for the mule, it can be tied to the back of the car and drive slowly to let it keep up.

At this time, the young men who had worked hard were all embarrassed, even Liang Changgeng waved his hands and declined: "No, no, we are used to walking, and we will be home soon. Every one of our bodies is drenched with water. Just like the ones you just fished out, and then dirty your car..."

Before Su Mu could invite again, Er Lengzi and the others greeted each other and started leading the mule to the village.

In the end, I really couldn't refuse, and the two older ones were forcibly dragged into the car by their father.

In such a quiet rainy night, for the first time in his life, Su Muping drove slowly behind a few young men talking and laughing loudly and a mule, and illuminated them.When he returned to Liang Changgeng's house and saw his family members drinking brown sugar ginger water and smiling all over their faces, he immediately decided to stay and never leave. Even if the future plans do not go well, he will make this small mountain village a paradise!

I believe that with the space to develop gradually, this goal should not be difficult to achieve.

After drinking the hot brown sugar and ginger water prepared by Aunt Liang, and then scrubbing and changing his clothes, Su Mu sat on the kang and listened to their homework in dialect.

This night, their family was assigned to live in four families.

Except for his grandparents staying at the home of Liang Changgeng, who is the village head, Su Mu and the others were received by several old relatives.

"Muzi woke up so early? How did you sleep last night?" Just after getting up and washing in the yard, Su Mu heard the owner's enthusiastic inquiry.

The house I live in is of the same generation according to seniority, so I have to call the hostess sister-in-law.

She is more than 30 years old this year, and she is known as a neat person in the village.Because her husband was called Lao Hei by the villagers, and she was born black, so the title "Sister-in-law Hei" was widely circulated.

"I slept well at night, but the village is too quiet, and I don't seem to be used to it." What Su Mu said was the truth. This place is located in a deep mountain, and after the villagers have all rested at night, it is called silence. .Accustomed to the endless sounds of cars in the city and the voices of pedestrians returning home late, this was the first time he was in such an environment, and he was really not used to it.

"Haha, just stay for a few days. You are used to hearing noises in big cities. Let alone cars, even three-wheelers are rare here. Of course there is no movement." Mrs. Hei has already brought the food into the house Li, greeted: "Hurry up and have breakfast, while it's hot."

The terrain of this mountain village is remote, so it can be seen that the per capita income must not be high.

There are about dozens of families in the whole village, but every family still lives in adobe houses.Some families are a little richer, and the houses are clean; some houses are just like the photos of impoverished mountainous areas that I saw on the Internet, revealing the conditions of decades ago everywhere.

"Sister-in-law Hei, there are quite a lot of people in our village, and many villages on the way are empty." Su Mu inquired while eating.

"That's right. Now there are some empty villages near our village. No one has lived in them for several years. In fact, this is also divided into people. Some people in our village will not be able to move back when they go out to work. It's just not as serious as other villages. Those nearby villages, Originally there were only a dozen families in total, but two or three families will be moved out this year, and two or three families will be moved out next year. After a long time, naturally no one wants to live in an empty village.

Those who could afford it all moved to towns, counties, or even big cities; those who didn't have the conditions also took refuge in other villages with relatives and friends.Let me tell you, don't look at us as poor, but don't worry.Many people don't want to go out again after going out to work. Although they earn a lot of money outside, it is too troublesome.

Every household in our village has no locks, even if you go out for a few days and don’t go home, you don’t need to lock the door; I heard they said that if you are outside, no matter how many locks you put on the door, it will not stop thieves from stealing!

Anyway, your old black brother and I didn't plan to go outside, guard our little home, plant a few acres of land, and live our lives as usual.When there is a famine, if there is nothing to eat in the city, they would like to come to our village, at least they will not die of hunger!By the way, are you coming back to visit relatives or want to stay longer? "

"I plan to stay and not leave. As you said, it's too tiring to be outside; and my grandparents are getting old, so I feel comfortable in my own home for the elderly." Su Mu replied while eating.

Mrs. Hei nodded with a smile and said, "That's great. There are fewer and fewer people in every village now, and our Huatanao is going to prosper!"

After breakfast, Mrs. Hei couldn't wait to lead Su Mu to the village chief's house, just in time to discuss where to place the family.

"Why don't you stay at Niu San's house first, so that we can be a little closer. Your house used to be weak, but now it's dangerous to live in; Niu San went to work outside last year and heard that he earned a lot of money. Later, they even moved out and became urban residents, and their house has been vacant, and today they took advantage of the good weather to clean it quickly, and if there is anything missing, it should be almost enough for each family to help make up for it.”

The village head, Liang Changgeng, patted his thigh and helped them determine where to live.

"That's great. I'll call someone to help clean the house, and I'll call a few people to help move the things off the car, and list everything that's missing." Mrs. Hei immediately agreed, and hurriedly went to greet the two idiots and the others. Several neighbors went to help.

Su Mu is rare in everything. Although he grew up in the countryside, he is close to the town after all. After all, he is much more advanced.

Now he is curious about many old things, such as the bellows and the potter's wheel in the yard, which he has never used or seen.

Seeing that he couldn't help much, he didn't want to be idle.

From last night to this morning, I learned from the two meals I ate at the better-off black wife’s house in the village and the discussions with the villagers that the situation here is really comparable to the poor mountainous areas I saw on the Internet before.At the very least, due to the lack of mechanical assistance, the farmland a little far from the river cannot be watered, and most people are also used to watching the sky for food, so the food they harvest every year is limited.

In addition, in the past few years, villagers who wanted to get rich were deceived many times one after another, and the honest and honest villagers also refused to accept outside information from their hearts.

So much so that the entire Huatanao is almost isolated from the outside world. Except for the black and white TV with blurry images in the village head's house, the main entertainment of the villagers is playing cards and chatting.

In short, the first impression of this mountain village to Su Mu is that the whole history goes back 20 years in an instant.Huatanao is still stuck in a very distant era, not in line with history.But it is also because of this that the folk customs are so simple and have maintained a good relationship that has not changed for decades.

The people in the village are not rich, and the dining table is also poor.

Su Mu thought in his heart that since he couldn't help, he might as well drive to the county town to buy some daily necessities. After all, if his family wants to settle down in Huatanao, they can't all rely on the support of the villagers.What's more, I don't lack money now, so I should stock up more things in the space so that I can start my plan to get rich at any time.

The weather was already clear, and although the mountain road was muddy, he was used to carriages, so he would not fall into the puddle if he paid more attention.

Discussing what needs to be purchased with his family, Su Mu made a list, and drove straight to Taohua County in his own car full of mud ideas.

As soon as the car started, almost the whole village, young and old, was invited to watch the excitement.

They don't leave the mountains all the year round, and they are still very curious about cars. In addition, Su Mu's family drove a car all the way back to the mountain village to live in. This news has spread throughout Huatanao.

Many people have never been out before, and they are very envious of life in big cities after hearing the descriptions of people who have come back from outside.However, most of them are afraid to go out due to their ideological confinement.So when I heard that there are people who are doing well outside and come back to live, I feel that this family must have a problem with their brains, otherwise why let the good life outside go, and insist on running back to the mountain village to suffer poverty?
