Chapter 131(2/3)
Qing Yun took out a tissue and wiped her with it, "Just climb over that mountain."
Fortunately, this woman didn't wear makeup today.
Qin Manman kicked him angrily and said aggrievedly, "That's what you said on the mountain! That's what the superior said too!"
Qing Yun looked innocent, "I was originally referring to this mountain. You thought it was the ones in front of you."
Qin Manman was so angry that she didn't want to speak. How did she know there was another mountain behind the first mountain?
"Really, just climb over this hill." Qing Yun adjusted her backpack on her chest and continued walking forward while holding her hand.
Qin Manman pouted, leaning on a hiking pole, and moved step by step with difficulty.
Liu Yaonan and others had their hands behind their backs and breathed the fresh air of the countryside in a leisurely and elegant manner behind them.
It didn't matter to them. Most of them came from the countryside and were soldiers. Taking this kind of road was just a walk.
It's just a pain for the eldest lady.
Especially Liu Yaonan, who watched Qin Manman grow up, knew very well that the little princess's amount of exercise today completely exceeded the standard.
This little princess didn't have the means to exercise since she was a child, but she has become lazy when she grew up, and now she is quite good at exercising.
After crossing the mountain, Qin Manman immediately understood that Qing Yun did not lie to her this time.
I can't tell if it's the top of the mountain or the mountain flat. It's just a short slope down, and from a wide field of view, you can see hundreds of farmhouses leaning on the terraces, gathering together in the valley.
On the other side is a dense forest.
“So beautiful!”
Looking at the colorful terraces, Qin Manman's eyes suddenly shone.
Jogging down the hillside at a brisk pace, she saw the terraced fields scenery in the textbook for the first time.
The fields climb up layer by layer. From a distance, they look like a big ladder, like a ladder ascending from the human world to heaven. It is very spectacular.
The ladder is made of countless kinds of green, including military green, emerald green, tender green...
Under the sunlight, it gradually changes from tender green to gold, making you feel like you are in a fairyland.
The ladder is also made up of countless lines, high and low, curved and straight.
The layers of terraced fields go straight up the hillside to the sky.
Qing Yun stood beside her, looking at the excited expression on her face, feeling like she was looking at a country bumpkin.
However, he did not dare to say this.
It's so disgraceful.
"When I was a child, I used to lie in the dam at home and look at these terraced fields. It felt like I could climb up the ladder and pick the stars in the sky."
Looking at the farmhouse scene in front of him, Qin Manman listened to Qing Yun's description in his ears and imagined that scene in his heart.
We must repair the road and come back to see if there is nothing to do next.
Liu Yaonan, who was standing aside, was also moved.
Compared with Qin Manman who just looked at the scenery, he who was born in a farm family saw a different kind of beauty.
"Xiao Qing, the people here are so amazing."
Several bodyguards from the countryside also echoed.
The mountains here are poor mountains.
This is not the description in the Book of Mountains and Seas that "the poor mountains are to the north and dare not shoot to the west."
It literally means a bare stone mountain without any resources.
In such a mountain, creating a terraced field cannot be accomplished in a year or two, and it also requires water diversion and canal construction.
It takes three years to cultivate the first-level terraced fields. The eighteen-level terraced fields in front of you are the joint efforts of several generations over half a century.
Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the forest in the distance, "I heard that there were only six terraces in the past, and most of them were cultivated on the other side of the forest.
However, it was designated as a forest reserve in the 1960s, and when farmland was converted into forests, we had to find food in the mountains. The twelve levels above were developed by our elders."
Liu Yaonan laughed and said, "I've heard that there are oil and gas fields down there, and the country will definitely not let you farm."
Qing Yun sighed, "Yes, so the people in this village have no choice but to ask for food from the barren mountains."
After saying that, seeing that the topic was getting a little serious, he laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to my house and treat you to bacon."
Qin Manman was immediately surprised when he heard this, "Brother, you haven't been back for more than half a year. This bacon... won't be bitten by mice?"
Qing Yun chuckled, "You don't understand this. The old bacon needs to be hung in the air, and then a wine bottle is threaded on the string at the top of the hanging bacon.
If a mouse climbs on a wine bottle and can't hold on to it, it will fall right off, so the mouse can't bite the bacon."
Liu Yaonan was also amused after hearing this, "In our hometown, we use iron sheets to make a round iron piece. The diameter is about 20 centimeters and the size can be adjusted by yourself.
When hanging the rope, pass it through the middle, so that there is an iron piece between the bacon and the main beam as a barrier. It has a certain area and is very thin, so the mouse can't get down."
Actually, he wasn't a talkative person, but seeing that Qin Manman couldn't walk anymore, he kept talking, distracting the little princess.
Liu Yaonan and his wife were matchmakers personally acted by Chen Wan, and they were very loyal to the Qin family.
He also watched Qin Manman grow up, and he always picked her up wherever she went. She didn't look much different from his daughter.
That's what Qing Yun said, but after entering the village, he found to his embarrassment that he couldn't find his home.
This is right!
He walked around twice but didn't recognize his home.
But the neighbor's house stands around and there is no change.
Looking at the new house in front of him, he muttered in his heart.
It couldn't be that it was taken over by someone!
He was shocked and angry.
There are still people in this village who dare to occupy his home!
Qin Manman quietly made eye contact with the other bodyguard, confirmed the location, walked forward with a smile and opened the door.
Qing Yun was shocked.
Qin Manman stood at the door with a smile on his face, hands behind his back, and a look of asking for credit all over his face.
"In May, dad sent someone to repair it for you."
Qing Yun walked to the door and looked inside the courtyard, grinning.
Qin Tianchuan did not change the main decoration of the house, but replaced the old house with new beams and new tiles, and then built a three-story house on the wall near the entrance.
No wonder he can't be seen from the outside.
His house, which used to have several men of my grandfather's generation, was originally designed as a courtyard and occupied a large area.
A generation of seven sons left Shu, but when peace later came, only my grandfather was the one who returned home.
When my grandfather renovated the house, he also left a large sun dam, but it actually looked empty.
Qin Tianchuan's transformation seemed to restore the previous layout of the courtyard.
After looking around, he reached out angrily to rub Qin Manman's hair.
"Little girl, your acting skills in the film are good! Were you worried about going to the toilet before?"
Qin Manman shook his head, "I only found out when we set off today. Well! Uncle Zhang did it all."
Qing Yun quickly stepped forward to thank the bodyguard named Zhang Zhiqiang.
That is to say, I haven't seen this person in this period of time, so it turned out that he was here to do this.
"It's just that the transportation of materials is a little troublesome, but the rest is no trouble. The main labor is the help of people from your village."
Zhang Zhiqiang was always taciturn and smiled sheepishly when he saw this.
After that, he began to introduce the details of the transformation to Qing Yun.
The layout of the courtyard is kept as it is in the old house as much as possible, but it has been reinforced and modernized, and the water and electricity have been improved.
Of course, the most important thing is to dismantle the pig pen and install a special bathroom, flush toilet and shower.
Running water is no problem.
When the farmland was returned to forests, in order to compensate Qingjia Village, the state specially provided water and electricity for the village.
The water supply was opened very early, and at the village level, it ranks among the best in the country.
And the water is free. Of course, the main reason is to build reservoirs and canals to transform the terraces.
The new building is a completely modern small bungalow. Just to keep a low profile, the exterior walls are very simple, just like grandma Qin Manman's house.
However, Qing Yun felt that this was unnecessary.
The workers are all from the village, so there is nothing to keep secret.
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiqiang scratched his head in embarrassment.
