Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Hu Yang had just finished mediating a neighborhood dispute that day, and felt uncomfortable holding back his urine, so he found a soil circle with a slightly higher wall to urinate.He was spreading himself heartily when he suddenly saw a milky white car driving by on the dirt road at the head of the village. He thought that maybe the county leaders had come down, so he shrunk his body desperately for fear of being seen by the leaders in the car. Shrunk, still exposed the upper body, had no choice but to hook the head to the chest again.Just barely finished urinating, the car honked a few times and stopped on the side of the dirt circle.Hu Yang turned his head in embarrassment, and when he saw it, he was so happy that he almost jumped out of the wall of the earth circle.It was none other than Ye Fei, Sisi and Xie Tingting.

Hu Yang yelled almost crazily: "Brothers, sisters, why are you here? How did you find this place?" Then he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ye Fei. Ye Fei smiled and slapped his hand and said, "I just shook my hand after peeing. Who will shake hands with you? Go shake hands with Tingting." Both Sisi and Xie Tingting were amused by them, so they laughed hahaha. Hu Yang rubbed his hands on purpose and said, "Look, look, capitalists are just capitalists, and they don't have any class feelings for us poor and lower-middle peasants." Sisi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if other people have feelings for you, as long as Tingting has feelings for you."

Hu Yang looked at Tingting with his eyes, and saw Tingting was sleeping with a smile on her mouth. When her eyes collided, Hu Yang felt as if he was being shocked by an electric shock, and his heart trembled suddenly.Look at that ice-sculpted figure, dressed in a pair of light-yellow cropped jeans and a tight-fitting short-sleeved black T-shirt, all of a sudden she is outlined in a youthful way.Hu Yang wanted to go up and bite her, just bite her anywhere, to relieve his love.So he said: "If Tingting has no feelings for me anymore, there will be no hope for me in this world." Xie Tingting glanced at him tenderly and with a smile, with tenderness flowing like water clearly in her eyes, and said, "You have only been in the countryside for a few months, why do you suddenly become so fragile and pessimistic?"

Hu Yang spread his hands helplessly and said: "Environment can change people. At the lowest level of Chinese society, I felt many things that I didn't feel before. Therefore, I feel that this is the loneliest and most vulnerable moment in my life. ..." Before Hu Yang finished speaking, Ye Fei interrupted him and said, "So, you let us stand by the latrine, and you also want the environment to change us?" Hu Yang smiled and said: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen from the city, get in the car, go to my place to drink some water first, and make you a meal of mutton in the evening."

After getting in the car, Ye Fei said: "We didn't even eat lunch, and now we can't bear the hunger anymore. You go to the fellow's house and ask for some steamed buns for us. Let's fill our stomachs first." Hu Yang said: "That's easy to say. I'm lazy and I'm also a deputy village head. I'm capable of solving this problem." He directed the car, turned left and right on the country road, and turned into the door of a house , got out of the car first, he went in and inspected, and then called all the people in the car to get off. This is a very tidy small farmyard. There are newly built tile-roofed houses on three sides. Shaped grapes.As soon as Ye Fei, Sisi, and Xie Tingting entered the courtyard, they were attracted by the scene in front of them. They all said that they never expected such a family to exist in such a remote place.

The owner of the house let them into the guest room, the host was busy offering cigarettes and lighting the fire, and the hostess was busy washing cups, making tea and serving buns.After he was busy, Hu Yang took out his wallet, took out three hundred-yuan bills and handed them to the host, saying, "Excuse me, get us a sheep and make a meal of mutton here." The host blocked it with his hand and said, "Director Hu, I am very happy that you can come to my place. I will cook the sheep for you, and the money will not be charged.” Hu Yang said: “If you don’t charge money, how dare we eat your sheep? Come, come, take it. If you don’t charge If you don’t have the money, I’ll go elsewhere and not eat your sheep.” He said and forced the money into the hands of the host.

As soon as the master went out, Ye Fei said: "I didn't expect you to obey the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention." Hu Yang said: "Of course, you think I'm running amok here, you fish and meat villagers." Xie Tingting said: "The conditions here are good. Some people in the city can't keep up with them, and we are asked to help the poor. What kind of poverty are we helping?" Hu Yang said: "This household belongs to the category that gets rich first, and its proportion in the village is quite small. Most of the people are still poor, and some of them can't even solve the problem of food and clothing." Press to turn on the TV.

An advertisement for melatonin was playing on the TV, and a ghostly old man flashed on the screen, and the simultaneous voice was "Mom and Dad will not accept gifts this year." When the screen switched, an old woman flashed out, and the simultaneous voice was: " Melatonin is required for the gift." Ye Fei said while eating: "This advertisement is the most disgusting. Why parents don't accept gifts this year, but they have to collect melatonin? It's completely bullshit. It's like saying 'we don't eat today, we have to eat lamb meat', Do you think this is a sick sentence? Is it bullshit?"

Everyone laughed while eating, and Ye Fei also laughed happily. Hu Yang said: "The wrong words on TV are now commonplace. The terrible thing is not that there are mistakes, but that no one corrects them after they have been made. For example, a TV station in the south is advertising for itself. Award for guessing and guessing activities.’ This is obviously a wrong sentence, the verb and the object are not matched properly. According to this sentence pattern, another sentence can be extended: ‘Our city Longde launches anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities’. ‘Activities’ can only be carried out’, Can't be 'launched', 'launched is only matched with nouns, for example, "Our station is grandly launching a 20-episode TV series". Not to mention provincial and municipal TV stations, CCTV often makes mistakes. A recent advertisement said:' A man whose seven-brand suit makes a woman’s heart beat.” What sentence is this? A seven-brand suit is a seven-brand suit. How did he become a man who makes a woman’s heart beat? Is it too outrageous? It’s incredible that such an advertisement After a few months, people in the TV station didn’t realize it. I really don’t understand whether it’s TV rejecting culture, or culture abandoning TV?”

Xie Tingting said: "Not only on TV, but also in the music scene. Some popular songs are upside down, upside down, unintelligible. You really have nothing to do with him." While talking and laughing, suddenly there was the sound of beating and scolding children outside, and everyone listened with bated breath. It turned out that the children were playing in the car, and the adults beat and scolded the children. Ye Fei was afraid of damaging the car, so he wanted to go out to see what happened.Hu Yang stopped him and said, let me go and see.When I came to the gate of the courtyard, I saw several children gathered around the car to watch, and one of them was wiping tears.The landlady smiled and said, "These kids are really badass. Whenever they come to a car, they have to surround them to fiddle with the doors or pick at random."Hu Yang saw that the crying child was the landlord's son, and he must have tried to make an example. He first made fun of his own son, trying to calm down other children, so he smiled and said it was nothing, children, curious.

The male owner of this family used to contract a small coal mine and made a fortune. Later, all the small coal mines were cancelled, and they were not allowed to work. He worked as a sheep dealer in the village, harvested the sheep, and sold them to other places. Therefore, the living environment and quality of life are far higher than those of ordinary farmers. Because of this, Hu Yang chose this family to receive his friends. After eating the mutton, it was nearly dusk.Hu Yang took them to the fields for an outing. This is the season of wheat filling.Looking around, the green crops are connected into one piece, and the setting sun drags a golden tail and sprinkles on the wheat field, rippling with waves.The towering Qilian Mountains are still covered with snow, like a natural barrier, pushing Changgou Village to a dead end.The smoke from the cottages is curling up, drifting to the sky one by one, and the young man returning from grazing is singing flowers, the voice twists and turns, sometimes like a vulture jumping into the sky, straight to the sky, sometimes like a long river , dragging an endless coda. Everyone was infected by the scenery and felt extremely happy, calling it a paradise. "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan...". Ye Fei said excitedly: "Great, this place is so beautiful. You see, Qilian Mountain, white snow, fields, and cottages are really like a genre painting with beautiful scenery. If I can't continue my business that day, I will take it with me." A painting folder came here to paint, maybe China's Van Gogh will be born from here. Sisi said: "When the time comes, I will develop a few acres of land, raise two cows, and give birth to a few babies for you. I will also learn to be Van Gogh from you. If you can't be, let the children be Let the children be the ones, let the grandchildren be the ones, the children and grandchildren are endless, and I am not afraid that there will not be a Van Gogh here." After speaking, he laughed wildly, and the laughter swayed happily in the field. open. Sisi is also a kind person with a lively and cheerful personality. She is the kind of person who can "give a sword to others with pride, and drink with poetry when you are in a hurry".She is more emotional and rarely considers the consequences, so she lives a happier life and is not tired at all.That's why she was able to give up her job as a secretary in a big company because of her love, and live a leisurely life with Ye Fei. Xie Tingting seemed to be influenced by this atmosphere, and laughed wildly with Sisi, and said while laughing: "How many children are you going to have in a row? By then, are you afraid of becoming an old pig woman?" Ye Fei said: "If I really got to that point, when I came here to paint with a portfolio on my back, I'm afraid she would have run away with a rich man, how could she come here and give birth to me? " Sisi said, "You really spoil people's tastes, so you can't say something nice." Then she raised her small fist to hit Ye Fei, who was swaying back and forth on the ridge like a big horse monkey Hiding made everyone laugh. Hu Yang said: "I see that you are all very happy. I will come down a few more times in the future to experience the idyllic scenery of our countryside. This will benefit your physical and mental health." Xie Tingting said: "You take every bite of our village, as if you want to take root here for a long time?" Ye Fei said: "If someone pays me a salary, I would like to take root for a long time. How nice it is here, far away from the hustle and bustle, escaping the noise of the city and the intrigue of various interpersonal relationships. It is a good place to purify the soul. " Hu Yang said: "Your big talk is completely a common problem of urban people. After staying in the city for a long time, suddenly coming to this remote place, I feel the air is fresh, the vision is wide, and I feel happy. But this is only temporary. If it really makes you Give up the city, let you come here, none of you will come here, I am afraid you will never find this feeling again. In fact, you do not know the living conditions of the farmers here, most of them are still Struggling on the poverty line, sick with no money for medical treatment, only to lie on the kang and wait to die, some are in their 30s and 40s, and have no money to marry a wife, some are old and have no family, their children can't take care of themselves, and the old people are pushed around no one to take care of." Sisi said, "Is there still this poverty here? Isn't that family just now quite rich?" Hu Yang said: "That's just the family that got rich first. To entertain you, I can't take you to the poorest houses, right? If you go to those houses, don't say that you eat, only the ones in the dilapidated houses. The stench and the smell will fill you up." Xie Tingting smacked her lips and said, "It's terrible, the difference is really too big. It's the same in cities, and it's the same in rural areas." Hu Yang said: "This is called natural selection of crops. Sometimes people can't choose, just like children can't choose their parents, you can't choose your environment, and you can't choose poverty or wealth. If people can choose, Africa It is also impossible for there to be so many refugees, there will not be so many laid-off workers in China, and it is impossible for there to be so many extremely poor households in rural areas." Ye Fei said: "I found out why you have suddenly changed after staying in the country for a month, and become a deep philosopher?" Hu Yang said with a smile: "I went to the countryside this time with a task, which is to write a survey report, so I often linger in my mind about those poor farmers, thinking about how to reflect the current situation in the countryside. one time." Ye Fei smirked and said: "Chairman Mao has written several investigation reports on rural areas, such as "Investigation Report on the Peasant Movement in Hunan", "How to Analyze Rural Classes" and so on. It’s enough to copy the article with a new look. Don’t pretend to be concerned about the country and the people, and write it with effort, who will see it.” What he said made everyone laugh.
