living in a mountain village

Chapter 14 A Leisurely Winter Day

The school has entered the holidays.Since entering the mountain.Lin Hao also followed for a while.

When he was free, he sat quietly in the living room of the wooden house.Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I looked out at the village wrapped in snow.

Wisps of rising smoke cast the sunset over the village. This is really a beautiful painting.

When night falls, lights illuminate thousands of homes.Think about when I first came here, there were no electric lights in the village.Now it's too cold.Few people watch the TV placed in the ancestral hall.

Then went for a pot of tea and sat quietly by the window.Looking at the dark night sky, a bright moon hangs in the sky.The lights in the village gradually dimmed.The surrounding area also fell silent.

During the few months in the village, Lin Hao felt that he had a very comfortable life.Without the fast-paced pressure in the city, Lin Hao felt relaxed.

The development of the village is also improving slightly now.Although I didn't see the degree of getting rich overnight, my income has increased a lot compared to before.

In the morning Lin Hao went down the mountain wearing thick winter clothes, when he walked into the village.Meet his cleverness.They all greeted him with a smile.

"Ms. Lin is here, do you want to come to my house for a while?" Everyone always said to him enthusiastically.

"I just came out for a walk. Thank you for your kindness." Lin Hao responded politely.

After casually walking around the village, Lin Hao returned home.Lin Hao made himself another pot of tea, and quietly looked out the window.

Fu Sheng stole half a day's leisure, which probably means that he is like this now.Lin Hao secretly thought in his heart.

Because there is nothing to do.Then he surpassed his own attribute version.

Because of the snow, the mountain patrol does not need to be so frequent, or even not.Because it is covered with heavy snow, or the mountains are very dangerous.There are always some hungry animals that will attack humans.Therefore, it is better to reduce access to the mountains in winter.

Perhaps it is because every household has a good income this year.When the Spring Festival is approaching, every household is lit with firecrackers.

Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, the New Year has quietly arrived.Lin Hao also wrote the couplet with great interest.

"Spring is always there all year round. There are thousands of purples and reds blooming forever. Banner: Happy New Year." After writing a couplet, I feel that the whole couplet exudes the breath of spring, faintly revealing a feeling of vitality.Lin Hao wrote a few couplets casually.

Just as Lin Hao was posting Spring Festival couplets, the old village head suddenly killed him.Seeing the couplet written by Lin Hao, his face showed joy.

"Brother Lin, I didn't expect your calligraphy to be so good. Can you write some couplets for the people in the village?"

"No problem, idle is idle anyway." Lin Hao replied casually. "However, I don't seem to have enough red paper."

"There is red paper in the village that you don't need to provide." Then he dragged Lin Hao towards the ancestral hall.

The old village head took out a stack of red paper from the ancestral hall, moved out a table and cut the red paper.Let Zhao Long inform the whole village to come to the ancestral hall to receive couplets.

At this time, Lin Hao had finished grinding the ink, and asked a casual question. "Master. What couplet do you want?"

"The old man doesn't understand either. You can write auspicious words to the old man."

"Okay, wait a minute."

"The days increase, the years increase, and the life increases, and the spring is full of heaven and earth, and the building is full of happiness. Hengbiao: Chang'an in four seasons.

What does the old man think? "

"Okay, I want this." The old man happily took the couplet and left.

After busy writing all afternoon, Lin Hao finally finished all the couplets.After packing up the things with the village chief, he walked back towards home with a single step.

He recited an ancient poem as he walked.

"The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year,

The spring breeze sent warmth into Tu Su.

Hitomi Hitomi Day of Thousands of Households,
Always replace the old talisman with the new peach. "

The village is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it is very lively.Lin Hao's home seemed deserted.Ever since his girlfriend plunged into the mountain village without saying goodbye, loneliness has always been his partner.

Just when Lin Hao was about to deal with him casually, there was a knock on the door.When I opened it, it turned out that it was Zhao Long, before Lin Hao could speak.

Zhao Longxian said: "You pack up and go to my house, and celebrate the New Year with us. It's a big New Year's day when there are so many people. It's boring for you to celebrate the New Year alone."

He didn't give Lin Hao a chance to refuse, and kept urging him to hurry up.After seeing Lin Hao put on his winter clothes and locked the door, he dragged him towards his home.

As soon as he entered the door, the old village head pulled Lin Hao onto the kang.It was very hot in the room, so Lin Hao took off his coat and hung it on the wall.Because Lin Hao told the village chief before that the store in the village relies on solar power panels, so the snow must be cleaned in time.For this reason, the village head specially arranged someone to deal with it.

One of the must-haves on the dining table of the Spring Festival in the north, the pasta is dumplings.While Zhao Long, Zhao Hu and the old village head were talking to Lin Hao, the kitchen was busy cooking dumplings.

When the New Year's Eve dinner is ready.A greeting came from the kitchen, "The meal is ready, let's come and eat."

The old village head pulled Lin Hao to sit beside him, and the rest of the people sat around the table in their own order.

I haven't eaten a few mouthfuls of rice yet.Zhao Long and Zhao Hu took Lin Hao to drink.

"Brother Hao, to be honest. Brother Zhao Hu and I are really grateful to you. If nothing else, you did all this for the village. You let us see the way out for the village. Brother, I respect you for this cup. "

A glass of white wine just entered Zhao Long's stomach.Lin Hao raised his glass in response to Zhao Long.

It lasted a long time at the dinner table.At this time, Lin Hao was also slightly drunk.Perhaps because of being invited by the village head's family, Lin Hao felt warm in his heart.

When Lin Hao walked out of the village chief's house, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu were already drunk and fell asleep.Lin Hao returned to his home slightly drunk.

It's the beginning of a new year.Lin Hao looked up at the sky and said to himself. "Maybe it's time for a new round of planning for the village this year."
