(I)
Hutuo River There is a small mountain village called Qilipo on the east bank. The village is not big, there are many slopes and few people. "There are more common stones and strange things" may be the ones that refer to Qilipo. There are more than a hundred families in the village. If there is a big deal in the village, everyone will be clear about their love. For example, Shuanzhu’s family threw a chicken in the morning, and a meal is guaranteed to be known to all women and children in the village.
There is a family in the middle of the village, living at the west end of the flagpole courtyard. The head of the household is a widow, pulling a daughter and a son. Her husband Yang Sanwa participated in the tunnel building at Agriculture and learned from Dazhai . The tunnel collapsed and died. According to the village rules, people should call her "Sanwa's family". Because Sanwa died of work-related injuries, the village collective was relieved, and she was always close to her orphans and widows. The village cadres spoiled her, and she was unreasonable. She always had the upper hand among neighbors and neighbors. If there was reason, she would have to take three points if it was unreasonable. Her surname was Chang, so people gave her the nickname "Chang Youli".
Flagpole courtyard east end, there is also a family living, the head of the household, Tian Jinkui. Jin Kui is famous for being weak in the three villages and five miles. He is soft-hearted, cowardly, hesitant, and does things. Last time he went to the village to evaluate poor households, it was his turn to speak. He lowered his head and dug it up and down in the tobacco pipe with a cigarette pot. In the end, no one heard it clearly, which made people laugh. It was probably like this. People gave him the nickname "Laodian", and he didn't object.
Speaking of flagpole courtyards, the younger generation may not necessarily know it. It was originally the house of Chen Caizhu in the village. The ancestors of the Chen family had a juren. At the time of the land reform, the government distributed the flagpole courtyard to Sanwa and Jin Kui's fathers. The east courtyard is the main one, and the east courtyard is better than the west courtyard. Jin Kui's father is a poor peasant, so he is naturally assigned to the east courtyard.

are all fellow villagers in the village, and it is unfair to talk about other people’s shortcomings. Just say it is reasonable, and there are also things that make the villagers praise. People are good-looking and have a decent style. There are many right and wrong happening to her, but they seem to have nothing to do with men and women. The key is that people are very good at managing the family. Although the man is gone, the family is still prosperous. As for Lao Nian, he is honest and skillful, and can do farm work, carpenters, and bricklayers. He can take and let go of them. He is also a talented person in the village.
Both families live in the flagpole courtyard, separated by a wall, but the two of them are always unaware of each other, and always look for the scumbag of Lao Nian. There is a reason here. When Lao Nian and Sanwa were drilling a tunnel in the same group, Chang Youli suspected that something happened to Sanwa. Lao Nian could not get rid of it. Although someone later proved that Sanwa's death had nothing to do with Lao Nian, Chang Youli always remembered Lao Nian's grudges.
If you don’t object, let’s start with the golden autumn October day. There is an orchard on the south slope of Youlijia. The south slope is close to the deep well irrigation canal in the village, which is suitable for fruit trees to grow. The fruits are not only big, but also relatively delicious. This year is a big year. (If the fruit trees are always divided into big and big years, the fruits of the big year are more fruits and the fruits of the small year are fewer.) There are a lot of apples hanging on the fruit trees at the east end of the garden, and a lot of golden crisps on the pear trees at the west end. Looking at the bright red apples and the yellow crisp pears , Chang Youli is so happy. If nothing unexpected happens, in another month, the apples and crisp pears can be sold for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. The hope of the whole family is in this orchard. In other words, this orchard is the eyeballs that are always reasonable.
Early that morning, Changyouli went to the orchard to take care of it as usual. It didn't matter if you saw it, and it made Changyouli angry. The apples on several fruit trees were obviously picked, and a few branches were broken. They must have been done by the person who stole the apples. She returned to the village angrily, shouted and cursed the streets all over, and then looked for the village elder Yang. Lao Yang investigated and learned about the situation, and mobilized the villagers to report and expose who did it? Someone called out Lao Nian's report, saying that Lao Nian had been pulling things from the field in the evening of the past two days. After someone mentioned it, Chang Youli suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard the noise next door the day before yesterday. In addition, he had a prejudice against Lao Nian, so he pointed the signs at Lao Nian.
Until now, the old village chief can't handle it. It was another evening, Chang Youli asked Lao Yang to tell that Lao Nian and his wife were out again. Lao Yang called the women's director Tian Bufeng, and the three of them were preparing to catch Lao Nian in the street.After the arrangement was made, Lao Nian also came back from the field in the dark. After all, the old village chief was doing business. When Lao Nian pulled the cart into the alley, the old village chief pretended to help him push the cart. By the way, he observed that the cart was full of sandbags, so how could there be any apples? It turned out that in the past few days, Lao Nian used the slack farm to spin the cellar in the yard, preparing to store apples, pears, vegetables, etc., and spin during the day. In the evening, the couple dig sand in the river trough and lay sand to prepare materials. Do you think Lao Nian is wronged or not? Almost made people become thieves.
A few days later, the thief was finally caught by the accountants Haiwen and Lao Nian. Who do you think it is? It turned out that Apple was stolen by Changyouli's distant nephew of his mother's family in the neighboring village. Changyouli's gang worked hard, knowing the roots and the bottom line, and being familiar with the family, greedy for the good apples of his aunt's family, so he stole them while it was dark. This time, Changyouli should slap in the face, so he was no longer so resentful, and he was somewhat grateful.
(III)
is really a "no coincidence," Chang Youli and Lao Nian have stories.
Chang Youli's daughter Daping and Lao Nian's son Wen Tao both studied in key middle schools in the county. In the same year, they were both admitted to the provincial capital University of Science and Technology. Wen Tao and Da Ping have the same ambitions and are both "rebels" in their families. They fell in love during college and are about to graduate. It's time to talk about marriage. After hearing this, the two adults tried their best to oppose it. Lao Nian thought it was often reasonable and unreasonable. He often felt that Lao Nian was too lazy to do things, not like a man. Looking at each other, the nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, and it is very difficult for children to get stuck in the middle.
However, there has been a turnaround recently. It rained heavily that evening, and Chang Youli hurried home and accidentally fell. It didn't matter if this fall was broken. She broke her arm and couldn't even get up at that time, so she started screaming. It was Lao Nian who rescued her after hearing the news. Lao Nian and his wife hurriedly called a taxi to take her to the hospital. Because of the timely treatment, Chang Youli quickly got better. Chang Youli also forgave Lao Nian. The two families finally made up, and the marriage between Daping and Wentao also landed smoothly.
During the New Year holiday, Wen Tao and Daping held their wedding as scheduled, and everyone in the village attended. After the wedding host finished the ceremony, everyone asked the old village chief to renew his relationship to help the elegant atmosphere. The village elder Yang waved his hand and shouted, "Relatives, friends and fellow villagers, today is the day for Wen Tao and Daping to be happy. I will give them a pair of happy couplets . The first couplet is `Men and Men of Science and Engineering Science and Engineering Science and Engineering Science and Engineering Science and Engineering Science and Engineering, and the second couplet is `Long-hearted and good relatives together'. Are you saying it's OK?" The onlookers cheered loudly. Lao Yang continued, "I have a suggestion that everyone should not call it "Chang Youli" from now on. Their big name is "Chang Guixiang" or "Laodian". Is it good if they call it "Tian Jinkui"?" Everyone cheered in unison again. At the end of
, he said seriously, "You are not allowed to call me a 'machine gun', ha, (Old Yang is so careless, everyone also gave him a nickname 'machine gun') And the last item, is making a wedding chamber , making fun of the new wife." Chang Guixiang pushed him and laughed and scolded "Old is not serious". The young man started to cheer, and everyone laughed out of the flagpole courtyard, filled the air of the entire villa.
The ancient style of the mountain village exists, and the world has been replaced by a century-old cultural relics. If you are interested, let’s continue to tell the story of Qilipo next time. (Author Liu Chengyin)
