like a government official. 。Li Haiyan gave the security guard a name, and the moment the guard heard it, he immediately nodded and let her pass. His attitude was completely different. 。It seems that...Jiang Xiaohui gently wiped the tears from her eyes, nodded to the village elder, then turned to the crowd and said: "Dear leaders, let's go with the village elder." 。“Xiao Hui, in the village, you can't call us leaders anymore. Just call us sister or brother.” 。"Jiang Zhong and Ning Gan, we are already sworn brothers now. From now on, we're family!" Then, Old Gu walked over and supported the village elder, saying, "Elder, we follow you!"The village elder, with Old Gu's support, was still slow to move. He said, “You guys better hurry to the public house and don't let the mutton and soup get cold!” In the eyes of the village elder, it was more important than anything else for the guests who had traveled far and wide to have a warm bowl of mutton soup that night. 。
Villagers don't have much money and can't afford to eat mutton on a regular basis. They usually take it to the county town to sell to people in the city, exchanging it for necessities. 。This time, I heard that Jiang Xiaohui came back with poverty relief officials from Jiangzhong. The villagers said, "Even if we are poor, we can't be poor to our guests," so they pooled money and bought a sheep from a farmer who raised sheep. Several men in the village quickly slaughtered it and made a whole roasted lamb and mutton soup. 。So, this mutton soup tonight is incredibly precious to the villagers!
That's why the old village head urges Lao Gu and his team to go to the communal house earlier to eat mutton and drink the soup. 。Group Leader Gu naturally understood the village elder's good intentions, but she said: "Village Elder, we must drink this mutton soup with you! It was you who cultivated Xiaohui into such a good comrade and sent her to us in Jiangzhong!" When the village elder heard Group Leader Gu affirm Xiaohui so much, he was even happier. Xiaohui had made a name for herself outside, and his heart was sweeter than honey. 。
Director Gu accompanied the village elder forward, and everyone else followed behind them. No one thought they were walking too slowly, but each step felt like they were walking on warm, affectionate soil. 。Many villagers held flashlights, illuminating the members of the inspection team. 。But soon the mischievous child snatched it away and started taking pictures everywhere, but was quickly taken back by an adult who scolded, "Such a nuisance!" "I'm so fed up!" ... The child, scolded, ran forward to escape. 。
Xiao Zheng walked forward with the others, observing the village in the light. There were some low brick and wood houses, almost all single-story bungalows. In the area near the earthen hill, there were also many simple cave dwellings, all lit by orange lamps. 。Visible these cave dwellings, are still inhabited. 。Xiao Zheng lived in the south and hadn't seen many cave dwellings before. 。Later, I studied some materials about Ninggan and learned that living in caves was a very common way of life on the Loess Plateau. 。Decades ago, an unexpected major earthquake struck the Xīhǎitóu region. Hundreds of thousands of cave dwellings collapsed, resulting in the death of countless people. 。From then on, those who could afford it would try to earn money to build brick houses instead of living in cave dwellings. Who would want to risk being trapped in a cave dwelling
However, there were still so many families living in cave dwellings in this "Bao Mine Village," showing that the poverty level of this village was much worse than Green Water Village ten years ago. 。Xiao Zheng thought that only after seeing such a village could he truly understand the poverty situation in Ninggan Province!
This public house was the only public space in the village, a semi-cave dwelling. A part of it was built with brick at the front, and the back was inside the cave. There were three rooms of different sizes arranged in a row... 。When there are weddings, funerals or other important events in the village, banquets can be held here. 。Two incandescent lights have already been turned on. 。Three women were already waiting at the door. 。Under the light, Xiao Zheng could see the traces of a broom on the flat ground in front of the house, showing that it had just been swept. 。
"Come in quickly!" "Please come in!" Seeing the village elder, Jiang Xiaohui and others arrive, the women of the village greeted them. 。As soon as Gu, Fang Ya, Xiao Zheng and others walked into the room, they smelled a strong aroma of mutton. 。Entering, I saw that four wooden tables had been put together to form a long table, and beside it were two long benches. 。。Seeing these foods, Ma Kai's stomach started to grumble uncontrollably. He really didn't expect to be able to eat roasted whole lamb here. 。Everyone else began to swallow nervously. 。The village elder said, "Everyone, please have a seat." 。
Xiaohui, these are your friends. Keep them company.
"However, Lao Zu, the head of the village, sat in the main seat. Jiang Xiaohui's family sat beside him, and then the inspection team members took their seats." 。And the head of the village, He Gu, saw that there were still many villagers and children at the door of the public house. Their clothes looked old-fashioned and worn out to those who had come from Jiang Zhong. 。Both men and women couldn't help but look at the roast lamb and mutton soup on the table, swallowing nervously. And those children were even putting their fingers in their mouths... 。Seeing all this, Old Gu's heart could no longer bear it. She said, "Everyone come over here, eat together, eat together!" But those villagers all awkwardly retreated. 。No, no. 。"You eat, these are all for entertaining guests!" "We've already eaten, we're not hungry!"
The old village head also said: "Gu zongzhang, everyone, this mutton and mutton soup, are all the villagers' heart, it's for you to eat." 。"Old Zhao said: "Let's eat first, so we can enjoy our meal." 。Such good mutton and lamb soup, for us to enjoy alone We can't possibly eat it all! Old Village Head, why don't you have everyone come over, especially the children. They're growing up fast, let them have a few more pieces!"
Those adults quickly pulled the nearby children outside. 。"Run!" "Your greedy face scares the guests away from their food!" "Don't bother the guests while they are eating." 。"Oh, don't take the child away. " 。“Old team leader Gu was kind-hearted. Seeing the child being dragged away, she couldn’t bear to eat.” 。It was originally Murakami's good intention, but now everyone is being polite, and the taste of this meal has changed. 。changed > 。Everyone felt a bit awkward. 。Xiao Zheng saw this and asked Jiang Xiaohui next to him: "What do the local people eat at home" Jiang Xiaohui thought for a moment and said, "Everyone eats very simply on a daily basis, just oat flour noodles, fried cakes, stir-fried cabbage and so on" 。"Xiao Zheng nodded, stood up, walked to the door of the public room, and shouted to everyone: "Brothers and sisters, fellow villagers" 。I ask everyone to do me a favor. 。The villagers were worried about disturbing the guests' meal and had already started to gather their belongings, young and old, preparing to leave. 。blic Security Bureau. 。Hearing that Xiang Buzi called personally, I naturally took it seriously. He said that Xiang Xiayu had called from the transmission room and waited for a while before returning...
