Hello 1983

  Chapter 453 Is this a gourd baby or a gourd girl? (seeking a monthly ticket)

  This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be difficult for Liu Qingshan’s family to reunite: the eldest sister and her husband stay in the county, and the second sister is far away across the ocean.

   Liu Qingshan was worried that his mother was in a bad mood, so after dinner, he led his family to the guest house to spend the festival with the villagers.

   Eating fruit, tasting moon cakes, chatting about family stories and what I have seen and heard in the capital, before I know it, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.

  The next day is already the end of the month, and tomorrow is National Day.

  Today's itinerary is to visit the Ming Tombs. Liu Qingshan told everyone not to take pictures. There are some things that you can't trust or disbelieve.

  The big troops set out, and he took people to the old house.

  When we reached the basement, we lit up two lanterns, and Liu Qingshan and Mr. Mao'er respectively turned on the flashlights to illuminate them.

  Er Bai went up to check, and then said: "It's a bit of a mess, but it should be able to be rescued, at worst it will take a little more work."

   Can this work?

  Looking at those calligraphy and paintings, Liu Qingshan thought they were completely scrapped.

   Fortunately, I didn't mess around yesterday, otherwise, it would be a big loss.

  Er Bai smiled: "Some of the calligraphy and painting documents taken out of the ancient tomb are even more damaged than this one. Otherwise, they can't show the craftsmanship of our industry."

  No one else can help with this task, only Erye Bai leads Zhang Chunyu, and the master and apprentice do it.

   It took a full morning to pick out the dozen or so calligraphy and paintings, and two fans, from the pile. It made Erye Bai so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist.

  Liu Qingshan was also very moved, and felt that when repairing this batch of calligraphy and painting, he should give the second master some more money.

   I found a restaurant at noon and had a good meal. Second Master Bai took Zhang Chunyu back to rest first, and the rest was basically rough work, so I didn't need them.

  Master Lu became the main force in the afternoon, and Liu Qingshan and Lao Maoer joined forces. Perhaps affected by the good luck in the morning, they were pleasantly surprised.

  A bronze gilt Buddha statue, and a pure gold Tara, the crown above and the rosette below are inlaid with precious stones such as coral, clam, and agate.

   In addition, there are scattered, some antique jade and porcelain, there are as many as thirty or forty pieces, which can be regarded as a good harvest.

   Transport all these things back. Uncle Lu simply tidied them up, and within a day or two they will be basically back to normal. At that time, Liu Qingshan is going to take them back together.

  Wait until evening, and bring grandma over to have a look. The old lady looked at this pile of things, the corners of her eyes were moist again, and her mouth was choked up:

   "My grandma believes in Buddhism. This Tara is placed in her Buddhist hall. Now that I close my eyes, I can still recall the old man's voice and smile..."

  Grandma Qiu Ju also shed tears beside her, pointing to a small snuff bottle inside: "I remember the second master, who likes to play with this most in his hand."

  Grandma nodded, and gently picked up a somewhat decayed birdcage:

   "This is my grandfather's favorite thing. At that time, it was on my hand all day long, and there was a thrush inside. When I was a child, I always secretly caught grasshoppers and fed it."

  Looking at the nostalgia on grandma's face, Liu Qingshan felt that these things will all be returned to their original places when the old house is repaired.

  Although this cage can no longer be used, the decorations on the cage and the bird food jars inside, Uncle Lu said, are not ordinary products, and a new cage can be made in the future to use these objects.

   This night, grandma lingered here for a long time, until it became quieter, and then she went down to rest at the urging of grandpa.

  …

   Another day, it will be the National Day, and this is also the last day of the tour group in Beijing.

  Last year's National Day was Daqing, but this year is more normal, but there are still many more people on the square than usual, showing a sense of joy.

  The villagers are mainly shopping today. Although Jiapigou is now a well-known 10,000-yuan village in the country, Liu Qingshan found that when everyone spends money, no one is extravagant.

  It’s like Zhang Zhuanzi, usually blah, but when it’s time to buy something, he bought a new suit of clothes for Xiaoman and a floral shirt for Aunt Cuihua, but he didn’t want to buy anything.

  Of course Aunt Cuihua didn’t agree, so she bought him a really good half sleeve.

  The others are similar, they are used to frugality, and they are reluctant to buy things, especially expensive things, even if they can afford them, they are determined not to buy them.

   So much so that Liu Qingshan had to persuade them: "Now that prices are rising more and more, it's time to spend money."

  Liu Qingshan remembers that in 1988, there was a wave of panic-buying across the country, no matter what, food, drink and clothing, they rushed to buy it at home first.

   Eventually everything in the store was sold out.

  The reason behind this is that the country’s price breakthroughs have led to price increases, and since then, people’s hearts have gradually become impetuous.

  The whole society, also on the spiritual level, has undergone major changes.

  The old branch secretary also sighed straight away: "In the past two years, I have earned more than before, but the money seems to be getting worse and worse."

   Everyone has a deep understanding of this.

  In Jiapigou now, after the last dividend distribution, everyone’s savings have exceeded 10,000 yuan. This money is in the bank, and it is really useless.

  Because making money every year, the amount of this deposit will only increase, not decrease.

  After hearing everyone's complaints, Liu Qingshan's heart was moved: he wanted to dispose of those gold bars, and the treasures would not go abroad, so he might as well sell them to the villagers.

  It’s better than grabbing those firewood, rice, oil and salt in two years, at least in the short term, gold can still preserve its value.

  This incident also reminded Liu Qingshan: villagers have more and more surplus money, and they should be properly guided to make reasonable consumption and investment.

   On October 2nd, the 100-member tourist group in Jiapigou finally set foot on their way home contentedly.

  For the vast majority of villagers, a brand new world unfolds before their eyes.

   And as they continue to go out in the future, their vision will become wider and wider...

   "Haha, I'm home, I'm home!"

  After getting off the bus, the children started to run home.

  Although the outside world is very exciting, it is strange. After going out for a few days, I really miss home.

  Thinking of this dilapidated mud house, thinking of the big yellow dog wagging its tail vigorously.

  The young and strong people who stayed in the village also came to welcome their relatives after hearing the news.

   "How is it, how is the capital?"

   The most frequently asked question is this sentence.

  The answer is basically the same: "The capital, of course!"

   Then we talked about Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall.

   Suddenly heard Zhang Ganzi yell: "Don't talk to you, go and see my brothers first, they all want to kill me!"

   Aunt Cuihua yelled from behind: "Don't worry, go home and change into work clothes before going!"

   "Old branch secretary, Qingshan, when are the rest of us going?" Captain Zhang and the others were so greedy when they heard this.

   "No matter what, we have to wait until the next spring when the flowers bloom. It's meaningless to go in winter."

  Liu Qingshan felt that there would be more than half a month of free time before the field was planted in the spring and the wild vegetables came down. After May Day, it happened to be another wave.

  He and the old branch secretary were not in a hurry to go home, and followed Captain Zhang and Er Biaozi to the village.

  Ask these days, the situation in Jiapigou is not a big deal, except to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and to serve the greenhouses and livestock.

  The rice in the field has to wait until mid-October before it can grow.

  In addition, there are some radishes, cabbage and carrots, which should be harvested one after another.

  Captain Zhang also asked: "What is the origin of the uncle who came with Kidnap, do you need to tell everyone to respect him?"

  Of course he was talking about Old General Tan, who also came with him this time. He only brought a grandson named Tan Yong to take care of him.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "You don't need anything, just treat it as a relative who came to the kidnapper's grandpa's house."

  If the villagers stay away from each other, they will feel uncomfortable with each other.

  Captain Zhang nodded: "Also, the houses we built this year are all finished, and the insides are all dry, so they can live in. How do we allocate the houses?"

  The new village on the west side of the village is considered to be completely completed, all of which are big brick houses with three or five rooms.

  The money is all paid by the cooperative, and the villagers don't have to pay a penny.

  The old branch secretary tapped his small cigarette pouch and said, "Let's divide it normally. If the family has a small population, it will be divided into three rooms first. After the children get married, they can be divided into another room; for those with a large population, they will live in five rooms."

  Liu Qingshan added: "There are a few more special ones that need to be divided into rooms. One is Grandpa Wang's student Wei Tiezhu. He is the first college student to take root in our Jiapigou. The treatment must be better."

   "Then divide it into a big courtyard with five rooms, and even his family will take over and live together."

   Of course, everyone has no objection to this. During the time when Professor Wang returned to the city, Wei Tiezhu was alone.

  Liu Qingshan continued: "There are also Gao Feng from the pharmaceutical factory, Lu Xiaolong, and the three teachers from the village primary school. They all give priority to room allocation to solve their worries, so they can work here with peace of mind."

   "Also, don't leave the houses on this side of Laotun empty. We also want to keep the original appearance here."

   After discussing these miscellaneous matters, Liu Qingshan went home and saw his mother and grandma hanging out the quilt.

  The fourth and fifth children were in the yard, feeding the fire fox. This guy was clever, and he came as soon as the family came back.

   On the wires above the eaves, there are swallows, chirping, as if they are in a meeting.

  The swallows are one by one, it seems that the swallows of the whole village are gathered here, and the swallows are discharged for tens of meters, which is really spectacular.

   "Swallow is going to the south again!" Shan Xing raised her head, with some reluctance in her eyes.

   "Swallows will return home in the coming year!" The fourth child was optimistic, comforting Shan Xing.

  Yes, this is their home, because the little swallow was born and raised here.

  Migratory birds like swallows will gather together before leaving, as if a team is gathering for an expedition.

   It is estimated that the swallows have to be counted by each family, and the number is counted. After there is no shortage of one, they will set off collectively and fly to the wintering place.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile, he gently stroked Shan Xing's watermelon head: "Why does it feel the same as our Jiapigou folks, going out for a trip?"

  Shan Xing also pursed her lips and smiled, and the slight sadness in her heart dissipated instantly.

  In terms of personality, Shanxing is still a little introverted, a little sensitive, and sometimes sentimental.

  However, there is the carefree little fourth child, and the considerate Liu Qingshan, she has not formed any character defects.

   "Qingshan, I have finished revising the first draft, please help me to take a look when you have time."

  Gao Wenxue also wandered around the yard with a small fire in his arms.

  Xiao Huo still raised his small hand, reaching for the big gourd on the gourd vine above his head.

  The gourd vine climbed all the way to the roof, along the front **** of the roof, and climbed to the back slope.

  There are two kinds of gourds planted in the family, one is large, and when it grows, it can be sawed in half and used as a gourd scoop.

  One is sub-waisted gourd, which looks better and can be kept for playing.

  Liu Qingshan nodded towards his elder brother-in-law: "Then I'll read it at night. If there is no problem, you can contact the publishing house."

   For writers like Gao Xuexue who already have some well-known names, publishing should not be a problem.

   "By the way, brother-in-law, don't forget to win the Mao Dun Literature Award."

  Liu Qingshan reminded again, he felt that there is still hope for the elder brother-in-law's longing.

  While talking, he plucked a big young gourd. Even if it is old autumn, it will definitely not grow, so it can only be fried and eaten.

   Scoop out the flesh from the gourd, and it tastes fresh when fried, which is still good. Liu Qingshan is going to get rid of the fourth and fifth children in a while. Send one to the kidnapper's grandpa's house.

  Seeing the gourd, he remembered another problem: "Fourth and fifth, have you written to the art film studio?"

   "I've written it, but I don't know if people can adopt it." The two little guys ran into the room and cheerfully took out a stack of paper, which contained various gourd babies.

  The difference from the original version is that there are more symbols on the forehead, such as flames, water splashes and the like.

   "Which gourd baby is this big mountain?" Liu Qingshan was a little confused.

   "It's Dali, who can lift mountains." The fourth child said proudly.

  Well, it seems to make sense, then the one with eyes drawn on the forehead must be clairvoyant.

  Wait, which kid is that with a hammer on his forehead?

   "Brother, this is Sanwa, with a copper head and iron arms." Shan Xing explained beside her.

   Well, anyway, it's just training the two little guys, so Liu Qingshan just let them toss.

   But the fourth brother was a little dissatisfied: "Brother, you said that gourd babies are all boys. It would be great if there was a gourd girl, preferably two, hee hee!"

  Liu Qingshan blinked: Later, it seemed that there really was a calabash brother and sister.

  So I pulled the antenna braids of the fourth child: Then when you and Shan Xing are free, you can make up a story and draw it. There are gourd babies and gourd girls, how fun it is.

it is good!

  The two little girls clapped their hands with joy, and they were about to enter the house to create.

   "Wait, first send this gourd to Grandpa Kidnap." Liu Qingshan hurriedly sent the tender big gourd.

  Xiao Lao Si and Shan Xing hugged the big gourd, happily went to the grandpa's house, and studied in a low voice while walking: "Do you think this gourd is a gourd baby or a gourd girl?"

  Liu Qingshan is also looking forward to it, whether the two little guys can make up the story of the gourd brothers and sisters.
