Xihe Village originally had a river, and the water was abundant. It irrigated the land and water, benefiting all the people. However, in 1996, it rained heavily and continuously. The upstream reservoir was overwhelmed and burst open. The flood was ruthless and terrible. It brought a disaster to the people on this plain.

People who received the news in advance and were evacuated in an emergency also suffered mostly property losses. Liao Cong's family's pear garden was close to the river. At that time, they built a house to live in for the convenience of protecting the pears. They also built a house behind to raise chickens. A flood Afterwards, the house collapsed and the chickens were flooded. The Liao family could not recover for several years.

More than one family was in the same situation as Liao Cong's family. At that time, they only cared about their lives and did not care about the house and poultry. Those were all real money. Now Liao Cong's parents are still sighing when they mention this.

After the flood, the original river channel was washed away and the river changed its course. From then on, there was only a pool of stagnant water in this river channel. Fish and shrimps were naturally extinct. When you get closer, you can still smell the pungent fishy smell. Qi has become a stinky ditch that everyone hates now.

The older generation said that it would be better if there was no river, so that the children would not be dragged into the river by water ghosts when they play in the water in the summer. However, the river is the past of their youth, and it is not a memory that can be easily let go.

In the past few years, thanks to God's favorable weather conditions, this stagnant water has been able to maintain its scale. In recent years, the country has carried out a large-scale construction, and farmers have spare money in their hands. They are also building houses and mansions everywhere, and the sand and gravel in the broken river have become treasures. , there are many illegal diggers, and the stinking ditches that are in the way are also separated into pieces by the edges of the pits. They are getting smaller and smaller, but they still emit the smell.

The stone bridge connecting the two villages on the river had originally been washed away, but now it was simply piled up and repaired. A gentle slope road was filled in from the east side of the broken bridge that could pass the sand and earth truck. It was considered a waste utilization.

Just because there were too many gravels here before, crops could not be grown in the river. The other side of the gently sloping broken bridge became a garbage dump in the village. Liao Cong and Su Tang were cycling by the bridge to enjoy the scenery, and they encountered several people dumping garbage in succession. The villagers have formed a habit.

Su Tang pulled Liao Cong and said in fear:"Don't go forward, it's broken over there."

To warn of safety, a pile of rocks was piled several feet away from the broken bridge, and the newly opened gentle slope was right there. On the west side of the pile of rocks, Liao Cong was climbing up the pile of dirt with skill and skill. When he heard Su Tang's worried call, he turned around and smiled:"Stand high to see far away. This big rock looks so high. Su Tang, come up and go." It's very interesting to look at it from a distance."

Su Tang shook his head violently. Liao Cong was talking about the largest stone. It was taller than Su Tang and accounted for one-fifth of the bridge deck, but the top was flat. , was bluish in color and looked very strong, but Su Tang liked to be quiet and didn't like to move. She had no interest in such a big rock that a boy would want to climb up at the first sight. Instead, she was worried that Liao Cong would accidentally fall down.

"It’s very spacious up there!"Liao Cong climbed up in twos and twos, opened his arms in surprise, shouted a few times, echoed, and his whole body seemed to be enlightened.

"I'll pull you up!"Liao Cong squatted down and stretched out his arms,"It's a rare opportunity to stand so high. It would be a shame if you didn't try it!"

Su Tang wasn't interested, but because it was Liao Cong who invited him, he hesitated for a while before extending his hand.

"I grab you, and you push up hard."Liao Cong was very strong, so he easily pulled Su Tang onto the big rock, and then pointed in the distance with a cocky voice:"Look, isn't it beautiful?"

When the breeze blew, Su Tang was so scared that his legs were shaking. He kept holding Liao Cong's arm and took a sneak look. Although he also thought it was beautiful, the timidity in his heart suppressed the surprise.

Liao Cong smiled evilly and exerted a little force. Su Tang pushed and grabbed Su Tang on the shoulder, so frightened that Su Tang turned pale, screamed, and subconsciously threw himself into Liao Cong's arms. Su Tang slapped Liao Cong angrily, and saw him holding her and giggling. Some were reluctant to let go.

The two of them looked far into the distance. Liao Cong pointed to the rocks and trees in the distance that he was interested in and showed them to Su Tang.

"Su Tang, do you think that tree looks like an old lady on a cane?"Liao Cong pointed excitedly, posing in a similar manner, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop laughing.

"Look at that, oh my god, it must be a wild rabbit running through it!"

"Su Tang, do you see any birds on the edge of the ditch? Look, they are still jumping!"

Liao Cong feels fresh in everything. He has no experience of living in the countryside. The only thing that can be related to the countryside that he has been to before is the farmhouse. Those things that the rich enjoy are too distorted. Today, he had a good experience. A handful of pure nature.

Su Tang was afraid that he would move and fall, so he grabbed his hand in fear:"Brother, let's go down.……"

"Are you still afraid? Su Tang, you are good at everything else, but you are too timid."

"……"Su Tang glanced at Liao Cong resentfully,"There's no need to risk your life if you're brave!"

Liao Cong still didn't have enough fun:"It would be great if you brought a flute. I'll play you a good song to climb high!"

Liao Cong was trembling when an old man riding a tricycle to take out the garbage shouted loudly:"Hey, what are you doing? Come down quickly! How high is it over there? Do you two want your lives?"

Seeing that the old man was trying to run over, Liao Cong quickly jumped off the stone, stretched out his hands to catch Su Tang, then got on his bicycle and ran away with a frown on his face.

"Where else do you want to go? Liao Cong glanced back at Su Tang,"Snowflakes are hanging on that pear tree. Isn't this the artistic conception of thousands of pear trees in bloom? Why don't you go and take a look?""

"Okay~" Su Tang nodded, this is what she wanted to play.

Unfortunately, Su Tang met Liao Cong, and he led him to the bottom of the pear tree. He saw Liao Cong kicking on the pear tree. Frost and snow drizzled all over Su Tang

"ah! Brother~" Su Tang couldn't laugh or cry. Why did Liao Cong become so rogue? He was like a child. He grabbed a ball of snow and threw it to Liao Cong who was smiling evilly. Seeing

Su Tang's lively and cheerful look, Liao Cong Cong suddenly became even happier. It was the first time for this girl to celebrate the New Year at someone else's house. She always behaved very reservedly and was polite to everyone. How could she be like a family? They were so lively and playful, so they didn't show up!

Brother and sister! The two chased each other for a while, and Su Tang was sweating from the run. Liao Cong was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he covered her tightly and took her home on a bicycle.

Traveling with the United States, they also appreciated the vastness of the Great Plains. The vastness is endless, and today is one of the happiest days that Liao Cong has counted since his soul traveled.

Without stopping at the door, Liao Cong took Su Tang and went straight to the chicken house. Along the way, he met the uncle and aunt of the family and even stopped to say hello.

"Hey, Er Cong, are you taking your little wife to play?"

"Where, this is my sister!"Liao Cong explained at first, but then he simply nodded in agreement. They were just teasing her anyway. It would be better to cooperate with their jokes if she explained seriously:"Yes, my wife is pretty, isn't she?"

Su Tang's face turned red when she heard Liao Cong admit that she was his little wife. She couldn't help but think of the scene where Liao Cong's mother instinctively shouted out when she met her for the first time, and a strange emotion came out of her heart..After collecting the eggs, Liao Cong took out an egg with double yolk eggs and cracked eggs picked out by his mother. This is to be taken back to grandma's house to eat later. Many of the eggs here are discarded by the egg collector and are edible. Even though it didn’t look good, it didn’t last long.

Looking at Su Tang playing with the cat, Liao Cong chuckled:"Do you like cats? Why don't you take one with you when you leave?"

Su Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise.:"ah? May I?"

"What's there? There are a lot of cats and dogs in the village, as well as rabbits. These ones in our house are all grown up. Tomorrow I'll ask you who has a newborn. Small animals are only capable of growing up when they are young. Kiss you, do you want a kitten or a bunny?

Su Tang looked forward to it:"I want to raise a kitten."~"

"Okay, let's ask grandma when we get back, she will definitely know."Liao Cong said, carrying the eggs and walking home, leaving the bicycle for his mother to ride back.

There were not many people I met along the way. Everyone was having dinner. Before I got home, I saw my sister-in-law grabbing her. Looking at Brother Haonan who ran out violently, he couldn't pull him anymore. Liao Xiaojuan was about to curse.

"What's going on?"

Liao Xiaojuan glared at Liao Cong angrily:"I'm not looking for you. I think you didn't take him with you when you went out to play. I've made trouble several times since I woke up! Liao

Cong chuckled:"Look at the tears and runny nose. Brother, follow me. I will prepare delicious food for you. Sleep with me from now on. We don't want a mother, okay?""

"OK, eat something delicious"

"You little heartless one! I don’t want you anymore!"Liao Xiaojuan rolled her eyes. She wants to recognize Su Tang even more now. Sure enough, her daughter is just a little cotton-padded jacket, and her son is here to irritate people by collecting debts!

Liao Cong occupied the kitchen, saying he wanted to show off his skills, leaving only Su Tang and Brother Haonan. Help, the others were kicked out.

So, when Liao Cong's parents arrived home, they were stunned when they saw several delicious and delicious dishes on the table. This spicy smell, this presentation, the old lady was not like this Good craftsmanship, Liao Xiaojuan is also industrious, Liao Huan can't cook such a good-looking dish, could it be the rice cooked by Su Tang?

Liao Xiaojuan was surprisingly attentive:"Brother, sister-in-law, you two sit down quickly, I'm waiting for you Come on, sister-in-law, this son of yours is really promising, but he wouldn’t even let me taste it for you first!"

"Did Er Cong do it?"Liao Cong's father glanced at his son with an expression of"It's me, please praise me" in disbelief, and grinned,"Okay, the waiter has not been working in vain these days, he can cook!"

Liao Cong suddenly smiled.

The old man quickly sat down with his own wine flask:"Such a good dish, why don't you drink some? Er Cong, would you like to have a drink with us? Liao

Cong's eyes darted around in panic:"I can't... There is another dish, sir. You and my dad can drink it first.""

Brother Haonan was impatient and kept swallowing. This kid was smart and knew who could speak well in this family. He pushed his grandma and pointed to the meatballs with sweet and sour sauce and said he was hungry.

"Eat, eat all."The old lady first stuffed a meatball into her grandson's mouth, and then she couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pork. She liked this shiny dish the most.

"Hiss, it’s a bit spicy!"Liao Cong's mother didn't dare to eat Mapo Tofu after eating it with chopsticks. Seeing that half of them were spicy dishes, she couldn't help but extend her chopsticks to the sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour meatballs.

Liao Cong came in with the last twice-cooked pork and saw this After seeing this scene, I couldn't help but grin. I finally found out the reason why I can't eat spicy food!

Liao Huan ate very happily, and she couldn't stop eating every dish.

Grandpa Liao Cong and father Liao Cong ate the table full of dishes and drank a sip of wine. I drank the wine happily.

It’s Chinese New Year!
