House Dad’s Literary Life

When I returned from my hometown two days ago, Yang Huan, who started her "adventure" general graduation trip with Ding Xiang, came to the mountains of Xiangxi.

To be precise, Dingxiang’s hometown is a remote mountain range in Tuche Township, Yanye County, Maota City, Hunan Province.

Going to see her house, I can toss it up. Yang Huan and Ding Xiang first took the train to the city, then took a five-hour long-distance bus to Yanye County (because the mountain road is eighteen bends, it wanders around, this national road is Going very hard).

When I arrived at Yanye County, Ding Xiang told Yang Huan that when she was studying, she slowly walked back. But now, well, there are roads repaired to the Tujia Township, Ding Xiang and Yang Huan took a three-wheeled passenger car (that is, a motorcycle head followed by a large box), and took the bus to the Tujia Township.

This passenger car is still open-top, eating gray and eating all the way, the two girls are somewhat gray-faced.

But fortunately, Yang Huan can accept that she came out from the countryside. This scene was also her normal state. Therefore, she and Ding Xiang teased and smiled: "Ding Xiangjie, I found that our hometown is rural, although Still a little different, my home is in the basin, and your home is in the mountains."

After arriving at Tuche Township, Ding Xiang took Yang Huan first to find a small hotel to stay, because the night has come. They had a rest for the night, had breakfast the next morning, bought some buns and took them on, and continued to leave!

The next journey is a big challenge for Yang Huan. She has to walk along with Ding Xiang, walk on a steep mountain road, and walk halfway through three high mountains. It is almost after noon, only to Dingxiang’s home. Under the Miaozhai Mountain.

They also climbed along the dangerous stone steps like a ladder. Although the scenery along the way is very beautiful, and the more they climb, the more they can pass through the gaps in the mountains, the layers of the distant mountains are covered and lush, but Yang Huan has nothing. My heart is going to look around, I just want to go to Dingxiang's home as soon as possible, and then take a rest.

It was really two days and one night. When the sun was obviously westward and not far from the downhill, Yang Huan and Ding Xiang finally got home!

There is no particularly big surprise. This is a poor, backward small village. The old buildings, except for the wooden structure, are very similar to Yang Huan’s very small time, the poor and dilapidated Wudaokou Village in memory. Of course, the current Wudaokou Village is much better. Even if there is no Yang Lan, the people in the village also live in brick houses. With Yang Lan, they are step by step to a happy and well-off life.

However, this is called the Baizhai Village, people are still very enthusiastic, see Ding Xiang and Yang Huan, all screaming and saying that Miao language and Ding Xiang and Yang Huan greet, there are some children in the village, bare **** Also went to Yang Huan to look at her curiously, the smart black eyes still have their lively age.

"How are you!" Although Yang Huan was very tired, he was happy to take out some small candy from his backpack and give it to these children.

This is what she learned with her brother. Every time Yang Lan returns to his hometown, he will bring candy to the children in the village.

"Auntie, they asked where you came from, I told them that you are my classmate, come over to play here, and then they are very happy, and welcome you." Ding Xiang helped Yang Huan translate Miao language.

"Thank you, thank you uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandma!" Yang Huan quickly replied, gratefully nodded to the other side.

The people in Miao Village also continued to talk enthusiastically.

Ding Xiang translated: "Everyone said, did not say in advance, so did not prepare anything, too rude. Then you have to invite you to dinner at home, and then you want to kill the chicken to welcome you."

"So enthusiastic!" Yang Huan was somewhat flattered, but whoever asked her to go home to eat, where did she have the skills to separate?

"Or I still forget it. I think everyone's life is very difficult. It is not easy to raise chickens and ducks. I will simply go to your house and eat some food!" Yang Huan still calms down, she has experienced hardships, so she can for others' sake.

Ding Xiang actually thinks this way, but the enthusiasm of the uncles and grandmothers is the tradition of their stockade, so she did not mean to remind Yang Huan.

Now Yang Huan refused, and Ding Xiang also helped Yang Huan organize the language and persuaded the folks.

Back to Ding Xiang’s home, Yang Huan also met Ding Xiang’s grandmother. The recovered grandmother’s body was still tough. Although the waist was already smashed, the ears were not so good, but it was still in the small field behind the stockade. Plant vegetables, raise chickens, be self-sufficient, try not to bother others.

Ding Xiang’s grandmother also said a lot of words about Yang Huan. Some words even if Ding Xiang could not hear clearly, the translation could not be made.

Sitting with the old man for a while, Ding Xiang was busy making dinner. She and Yang Huan just ate a few buns at noon, and they were already hungry.

"The phone can't get out, there is no signal in this mountain. Hey, Ding Xiangjie, let me help you!" Yang Huan, who took out his cell phone to give Yang Lan a safe report, came back regretfully and saw Ding Xiang cooking and helping. Ding down, Ding Xiang can't beat her.

"You climbed the mountain for a day, tired, and you should take a break." Ding Xiang’s pot was taken away by Yang Huan and had to take a tub to wash the vegetables. There is no signal tower here, hey, I have forgotten to tell you."

"Nothing, I will say it tomorrow! I still feel tired when I climbed up, but I didn't feel tired when I saw so many enthusiastic folks." Yang Huan smiled while washing rice and said, "Ding Xiangjie, your physical fitness is better than me." Ok! I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I don’t have any physical strength. I haven’t been tired after climbing a mountain!”

"I am used to it!"

Yang Huan and Ding Xiang leisurely said: "However, then again, your home is worse than I thought. I used to think that our hometown is so remote, very poor, but I didn't expect you to compare here. Our poorest time is still poor! Our hometown can at least repair the road, but on your mountain, there is no possibility of road repair."

Ding Xiang gently sighed and said: "Yeah, I used to think that when I read the book, I will find a way to let the folks in the stockade live a good life. Now..."

Ding Xiang can't say anything, and the frustrated expression on his face has already explained everything.

"Can't change, can only go out." Yang Huan thought of his experience after leaving the countryside, could not help but whispered.

Ding Xiang smiled softly and said: "Yes, but the thoughts of the older generation are hard to control. I can only hope for the younger generation. I also hope that my younger siblings, like me, have the opportunity to go out. Dashan, go to the outside world to see."

"Reading... Reading is the best way to change your destiny." Yang Huan is not without her more than half a year ago. Yang Huan, who has increased his experience, has a deep understanding of the idea of ​​changing his fate.

"In the past, we had a school in the mountain. It was built by a former grandfather who had taken a test of the talents. But he died very early. Later, the village sent us a private teacher called Tao Shuping. I followed the master of Tao to learn and count. Grandpa Tao does not speak English, but he is really diligent and patiently teaches us the basics. Until one day, Grandpa Tao told me that Ding Xiang, you should go to the countryside to study, to go to junior high school, to learn more. Something..." Ding Xiang seems to remember the general, talking about things with Yang Huan.

With the help of Grandpa Tao, Ding Xiang went out, but when she was in high school, Grandpa Tao’s body was gone, she died of illness, but Grandpa Tao still left a sum of money to fund Ding Xiang’s high school. The rest of the road, of course, Ding Xiang himself worked alone, tuition fees, slowly smashed out.

"Later? After the death of Grandpa Tao, what happened to the school?" Yang Huan heard tears in her eyes. She wiped the tears in her eyes and asked.

After Tao’s grandfather left, the school was once again ruined. Although several private teachers came in succession, not everyone had the selfless dedication of Tao’s grandfather, and they were scared by Bai’s bitter place. Stayed for two weeks and then ran all!

Ding Xiang would like to go back to teach after finishing high school, but the uncles and aunts in the stockade disagreed. They said that Ding Xiang is the first college student in Baizhai Village. She can't help but go to school. She wants to set an example for the children!

"What can I do? There is another generation who have no chance to study." Yang Huan said with anxiety.

"Nothing, it's already good now." Ding Xiang's face showed a smile.

On the last winter vacation, Ding Xiang went home, not only took her grandmother down the mountain to see a doctor, but also went to the village to find a solution to solve the problem of not teaching teachers to come to the stockade to teach the children to study. She personally paid money and increased subsidies for private teachers. I used money to keep them, and I still invited two teachers to take turns to teach in the mountains and solve the problem that they have no way to reunite with their families on the mountain for many years!

Yang Huan listened to Ding Xiangyun's light and light story, her face full of surprised expression.

"No wonder, Ding Xiangjie, I said how you usually reluctant to spend money!" Yang Huan was very moved to see Ding Xiang said.

Yeah, that makes sense!

Before Yang Huan and Guo Ziyi still felt very strange, why Yang Hao gave Ding Xiang a very high salary, but Ding Xiang has been reluctant to spend! She even reluctant to buy a new set of clothes for herself. I usually wear them to wear those old clothes!

Yang Huan is different. Although she did not spend a lot of money, after all, after the family conditions were good, she did not have the same financial burden as before. The money spent was spent. Usually she went to Dingxiang to go shopping to buy clothes (very ordinary pedestrian street), Ding Xiang has all shirked, even took the clothes that Murphy gave her before and said: "I have so many new clothes, I can't wear them. Now!"

correct! Guo Ziyi also suggested with Ding Xiang that she would buy a house in Jiangcheng, but this is only an investment that does not make a loss, but Ding Xiang did not agree.

It turned out that the money she saved was used here.
