【318】 Huge surprise
Changsheng retreated from the position of major general of the 310th Mountain Division of the Rongcheng Military Region. At the age of 73, he experienced two wars against Tianzhu and Annan. It is no exaggeration to describe his outstanding military achievements.
In 1962, he was a small squad leader, and he led his team to cross the defense line at the first time, leaving a brilliant mark in the history of the Republic-Army. In the following years, he was promoted and went to the military academy, and Changsheng rose to the top of the steel army like his name. In the end, he became the commander of the First Mountain Division.
In 2000, Changsheng, who was only 62 years old, retired due to health reasons. He raised flowers and grass at home every day, and his descendants roamed his knees and enjoyed a happy old age!
This time, the retiring office organized veteran cadres to travel. Changsheng was over 70 years old and in poor health and was advised by the doctor to stay in Chengdu and not go to the plateau to take risks. However, when he thought of his glorious years on the snowy plateau, Changsheng's heartbeat accelerated a lot and insisted on joining the group to Yaozhou.
Although Yaozhou is still a long way from where the 62-year war occurred, as the flight landed, Chang Sheng seemed to be able to hear the roar of guns and the scene of his comrades fighting bloody battles. That night, he rarely suffered from insomnia!
Changsheng, who fell asleep in a daze in the early morning, was awakened by the pleasant sound of birds outside the window. Changsheng, who was born in the countryside, could even clearly distinguish which sound is a magpies and which sound is a tits.
Although the trees are covered with green trees, you can hear the sound of birds in the morning. However, compared with Ginkgo Village, it is somewhat of a small smell.
The old man had a light sleep. Although he had only slept for less than five hours, Changsheng still felt energetic. This may be related to the fresh air in Ginkgo Village, or it may be related to the glass of milk he drank before going to bed yesterday.
Last night, the service staff at Binhuju thoughtfully prepared a cup of warm fresh milk for every elderly person who stayed there. The rich milk aroma and delicate taste made Changsheng praise him.
In fact, it is not just milk, since arriving in Yaozhou yesterday, every food in the entrance has a great impact on the members of the old cadre group. It is impressive.
No wonder the data shows that the proportion of elderly people over 80 years old in Ginkgo Village is much higher than the national average. This is indeed a unique treasure land.
After Chang Sheng got up and washed up, he put on a Tang suit and cloth shoes and walked out of the yard. He happened to see Mr. Xiao San from the inn of "Binhuju" who was about to go to the lake to collect shrimps. He followed.
"Brother, are you a long life this year?" Seeing Mr. Xiao's hair and hair are white, but his face is rosy, and his feet are walking like the wind. Changsheng was quite envious.
Changsheng's health is naturally not good due to many injuries, especially the rheumatism that fell in Annan, which causes faint pain when it rains.
"It's only 78 this year!" Mr. Xiao smiled and made a gesture, saying, "I am a junior in the village, and there are some elders on it who are almost 100 years old!"
Changsheng used the free stockings of Xichuan, which was somewhat similar to the dialect of northwestern Yunnan, which made Master Xiao San feel very friendly and opened up the conversation.
As Jinghu Scenic Area increases its popularity, the continuous influx of tourists has also changed the character and performance of the villagers. Out of the call of "serving tourists", everyone will communicate with tourists in a friendly manner.
Although Mr. Xiao is speaking dialect now, his Mandarin is not bad. He even went to the school auditorium to learn a few simple "touch tricks" with Xiao Feng.
"Brother, you are 5 years older than me, but your body is much stronger than me. I have to ask you for your health secrets!" Seeing that Mr. Xiao is easy to talk to, Chang Sheng said seriously.
For the elderly, other things are illusory, and health is the most important thing. Therefore, when you see your peers with such a strong body, Changsheng naturally needs to ask for advice!
"There is no secret, it's just a simple meal and regular activities!" Mr. Xiao smiled, bent down and took out the shrimp net that he had put down last night, and said, "You people in the city don't exercise much, so their health will naturally be a little worse."
Before this, many tourists asked Mr. Xiao San to ask about these questions. He had already summarized them, and now he is naturally very knowledgeable about Changsheng.
While listening to the health tips that Mr. Xiao told, Chang Sheng helped him pull the heavy shrimp nets up from the water. The big green shrimps that were jumping in the net cage were envious.
I don’t know if this big green shrimp was put in Jinghu by any of the ancestors of the Xiao family. After a long period of evolution, it gradually adapted to the cold water temperature of Jinghu and became one of the specialties of Jinghu.
This kind of big green shrimp can grow as long as the length of chopsticks and the thickness of big toes, and it is no problem at all. Whether it is roasting, stewing oil or other methods, it is extremely delicious.
In the past years, the big green shrimp was the best dish for the men of Ginkgo Village. There is a saying that "one shrimp, half a pound of wine".
Mr. Xiao usually likes to drink two sips of homemade rice wine and stir-fry a plate of big green shrimp and eat it beautifully, which has become his greatest enjoyment in his later years.
Since last year, Mr. Xiao San found that the number of large shrimps in Jinghu has increased dramatically, they have become much bigger and the taste has become better.
Xiao Sanye’s shrimp net can get 10 to 8 kilograms of big green shrimp every night. In addition to eating it himself, it has become one of the signature dishes of "Binhuju".
"Binhuju" was invested and built by Xiao Yu, the youngest grandson of Xiao Sanye, at the beginning of last year. This inn invested almost all of Sanye's assets. Once it was built, it became the largest homestay inn in Ginkgo Village with a scale of 60 standard rooms.
Now, Mr. Xiao catches shrimps every day, catches fish, drinks some wine at noon, and chats with old friends in the village. Every day, he is leisurely and never changes a god.
On the way back to the "Binhu Residence" with Mr. Xiao San, Changsheng felt that such a life was more comfortable and yearned for it.
Although the medical conditions in the retiring house are very good, the veteran cadres either watch TV or play cards every day. In fact, there are very few times and opportunities to exercise. If they can live in an environment like Ginkgo Village for a period of time, they will probably feel more cheerful and their health will be much better.
However, the idea of living in Ginkgo Village for a long time just flashed through it. After all, Changsheng is not a decision on many issues. His family and the doctors in the retiring place are not vegetarians.
…………
At Binhuju, you can eat authentic and delicious farm food and a mixed breakfast with Western breakfast. Fu Chuanyu announced that he would take the veteran cadres to climb Qingling Mountain to overlook the full picture of Ginkgo Village. Of course, veteran cadres who are not physically strong can stay in the village to move freely.
The younger veteran cadres were all excited to go climbing the mountain. Chang Sheng knew that his knees and body could not bear the load, so he took the initiative to stay. Several veteran cadres who were interested in fishing were already itchy when they saw Jinghu last night, and they all proposed to go fishing by the lake.
After a slight upset, the veteran cadre group finally confirmed the itinerary this morning. Everyone played their own games and everyone was happy.
Changsheng did not act with the main force, and started wandering around the village with a camera on his back, taking photos, and leisurely. Changsheng's wife is a newspaper reporter. Changsheng's photography skills were learned from his wife after retirement. This time, because his wife had to take care of her young daughter who had just been in confinement at home, Changsheng decided to take more photos and take them back to show her to her wife.
The ancient customs and houses, the tingling mountain springs, and the ginkgo trees covering the sky and the sun create a calm atmosphere. Changsheng thinks that perhaps this is the real charm of Ginkgo Village.
He walked and took pictures while holding the camera. Whether it was the wild flowers on the roadside or the cats and dogs chasing and fighting, they all became models in front of his camera, looking extremely harmonious.
"Old sir, how about taking some photos for me?" Just as Chang Sheng was busy taking photos, an extremely pure Beijing film came to his ears.
Changsheng looked around but could not see a figure. Even though he was a soldier who was well-influenced by Marxism-Leninism, he suddenly felt cold.
"I'm here!" The fifth prince couldn't help but get angry when he saw the old man looking around.
Such a big live bird can’t see it, just because you don’t use bean bags as dry food!
Only then did Changsheng realize that there was a parrot standing on the wall in front of him. The pure Beijing movie he just said was what it said.
Chang Sheng has also seen parrots that can speak simply, thrushes, etc., but it is the first time I have seen a parrot that can speak so fluently and have a certain degree of communication.
"That's great!" This time, Chang Sheng also became very childish and answered with the Beijing films he had learned before.
After the two sides reached an agreement, the fifth prince immediately turned into a winning model and began to show off various posses, which was a bit professional.
Before we knew it, the position of one person and one bird gradually approached the old house of Xiao family. Moreover, under the loud voice of the fifth prince, Wukong, gems and white clouds and black soil also ran out of the yard, turning the "parrot special" into an "animal party"!
Chang Sheng was quite happy to see so many cute animals, and he was even more happy to take them. As long as these photos were taken home, the children would definitely be very happy!
Chang Sheng did not expect that he did not follow the large army to climb the mountain, but had such an adventure in the village. It seems that many things are really hard to explain.
However, when Changsheng's camera accidentally swayed across the dam, a figure on the display immediately stunned Changsheng.
At this time, Changsheng suddenly felt that his brain was not enough. He wanted to tell himself that this might be a bit similar, not that person; but Changsheng knew that he would not recognize the wrong person!
Perhaps this is the biggest surprise after I came to Ginkgo Village? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
