Chapter 699
It is probably like this to everyone's impression of the New Year. It is really not as popular as naughty children. As long as these little things can be put together, they can play with a tree stump. The adults have no energy to have them. On the first day of the junior high school, everyone walked around each other and greeted New Year's greetings. At this time, Wen Xu's seniority was a bit pitfall. Because there were not many people in the village who were younger than his seniority, Wen Xu and Shi Shangzhen and his wife have been paying New Year's money. Of course, the couple didn't mind this little money. If you want to talk about the advantage of high seniority, they almost stayed at home without having to run around.
When the first and second grades of the lunar calendar, God admired his face. When the third grades of the lunar calendar, the sky changed. The whole day was covered with grayness. I saw a heavy snow that couldn't come. When the third grades of the lunar calendar, the snowflakes began to float down. When the fourth grades of the lunar calendar was still falling, the largest snow in the whole winter so far came unexpectedly.
It was intermittently until the fifth day of the New Year. The whole village immediately started a new round of snow shoveling. The tourists were naturally very happy. They skied, sled and rode snowmobile every day. Anyway, as long as it was a venue, there were people playing at dawn. Until almost 8 o'clock in the evening, these free amusement parks built in the village would stop completely.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, the village held a party. It was originally planned to hold it on the fourth day of the lunar month and the fifth day of the lunar month, but because of the heavy snow, I had to shift some time. Only on the seventh day of the lunar month did everyone start singing lively.
On the evening of the eighth day of the lunar month, the sun was still hanging in the west. Before it was about to set, Wen Xu put Erbai on the sled and led him to the door of the yard. From the fourth day of the lunar month, the girl Hang Chen could not sit still as if she had hair on her butt, because Wen Shida took the girl Shengnan to the ice sculpture garden and took photos, but she was so envious that she had to go to the ice sculpture garden to see it with her own eyes.
It would be fine if she was Wen Xu alone, but her aunt Li Yumei also wanted to go and see her. Wen Xu had to gather the whole family to go and visit the Ice Sculpture Garden.
He pulled Erbai to wait at the door of the yard. After waiting for a while, a group of people were still slowing down. Wen Xu was a little anxious. He just saw that he had come back. He didn't know what these people had to deal with.
"Everyone, everyone! The sun is about to set. It's about five o'clock. What time is it now? It's almost half an hour, it's all a little quicker, it's not too early!" Wen Xu shouted loudly to the yard.
As soon as the words came to an end, Wen Xu heard the phone in his pocket ring. He took it out and found that it was the old man who called, and immediately answered the phone.
"Grandpa, where are you at the entrance of the village?"
Although the teacher is old, the essence of the soldier has not faded much. He asked Wen Xu in anger and said, "When you come here, I have been waiting for you on the sled for almost twenty minutes, so I can't keep some time!"
"Grandpa, you're anxious, I'm more anxious than you. I'm also pulling a horse at the gate of the yard. A group of people took this and that, who knows?" Wen Xu explained to comfort the old man.
"Okay, hurry up! If you are delaying, you will have to go to the military court if you fight!"
"Yes, yes, if it comes to your hands, all of us who have no idea of time will be killed!" Wen Xu said with a smile.
"It's the New Year, it's unlucky. Okay, hurry up, I'm strong, but Lao Qiutou can't stand it," said the teacher.
"I'll beat Biao... ding! ding!"
Wen Xu heard Mr. Qiu say three words, but before he could hear clearly, the teacher there had already hung up the phone.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the two old men have been waiting at the entrance of the village for an hour! Who can you bear the cold of their houses at that time?" Wen Xu shouted at the yard again.
After more than a minute, no one came out of the yard, but Mr. Chi next to him came out of the yard. He looked at Wen Xu and Erbai standing at the door and asked loudly: "Let's watch the ice sculpture?"
"Yes, the group of people was stubborn!" Wen Xu finished speaking, and saw a group of people wearing a brown-like daughter-in-law leaving the house.
He turned to Mr. Chi and asked, "Have you seen it? I heard it looks very good."
"I've seen it, it's okay! I've seen it in Jiangnan, but if you see the ice sculptures in Northeast China, you'll think that there's nothing to see here. First of all, it's small-scale, not many of them have a strong momentum, and many are not exquisite enough. However, it's not easy to make this look since I decided to make it like this before the New Year. Just look at it. Some of them are quite rural," said Mr. Chi.
"As long, then we're leaving!" Wen Xu saw his wife and Li Yumei and others climbed onto the sled, and said something to the old man, then sat on the sled board, reached out to slap Erbai's butt.
Erbai used his legs and dragged the sled easily. Although there were six or seven people sitting on a sled, it didn't seem to be much weight for Erbai. The little horse's hooves hit the stone slab like a string of light small notes.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Wen Xu saw that two sleds had already stopped on the side of the road, two old men and one of them, and the guards also changed into casual clothes at this time.
"Why is it so long? Come, Xiaohang, come on my sledge, let's play chess all the way." The old master said that, then waved to Hang Xiangdong, asking Hang Xiangdong to play chess on his sledge.
Hang Xiangdong did not refuse to go down Wen Xu's sled and got on the teacher's sled.
Everyone was all together, and three sledges were naturally lined up and trotted along the road towards the town. Wen Xu led the way, Master Shi's rear, and Master Qiu's guard drove a sled in the center.
At this time, the old man was no longer the long-haired white yak that he had pulled the cart. He changed into a very strong horse. Wen Xu didn't look like a domestic horse. His limbs were very strong, and his shoulders were not low. The most important thing was his hooves, which were as big as the mouth of a sea bowl.
Anyway, Wen Xu also needs to drive it. Erbai has no reins or ropes. As long as it is a road, it will understand where it is going. So Wen Xu let Xiao Yao turn and sit in his position, turn his body, and his back is against the wind, and move to the tail of the sledge to chat with Mr. Qiu.
"Old man, where is your big white yak? Why don't you change to a horse with a yak?" Wen Xu put his hands in his sleeves and his legs hanging in the air, leaning against the sledge railing and asking Mr. Qiu behind him loudly.
Mr. Qiu’s sled is the same as Mr. Master. He is all from Wen Xu’s hands. He has curtains and doors. Although he cannot prevent the cold air, those with stoves inside can drink hot tea and eat small fruits. Generally speaking, it is several levels higher than Wen Xu’s ‘open-air’ sled.
Mr. Qiu said, "Then he ran slowly with the cow. Today I went to the far place. How could I keep up with you without this horse? The yak was used when I was wandering around the village. This horse was used for traveling far away. One big white horse is not as good as the old thing. Can I still get worse with two horses!"
Wen Xu was very happy after hearing this. These two old men used to be mortal enemies, but now they are old and laughed at the age of a smile. After not getting along for a few days, they have become old children again. No one is convinced. At such an old age, they are like Hang Chen and Xiao Yao, and they always compete with each other, and grinding teeth, which is quite interesting.
"How is it? Xiao Wenxu, my horse is good, right?" Old Master Qiu held a pot of tea in his hand, took a sip and said to Wenxu.
Wen Xu said: "Well, your horse is not made in China, right?"
"Then you are wrong, you are trained and cross-breeded in China," said Mr. Qiu.
Wen Xu heard that it was cultivated in China, and after a few more glances, he couldn't help but smile.
"why are you laughing?"
Wen Xu said: "Horse is good, but it is not born at the right time."
"..." Old Master Qiu was speechless after hearing Wen Xu's words. After a while, he sighed: "Oh!"
If such a heavy load-bearing horse would have been of great use in the past, but what is the use of cultivating it at this time? It would definitely not be able to compete with tractor horses. If you don’t say anything else, just say that it is almost impossible to maintain it in daily life. Even if it is placed in remote mountainous areas and compete with plowing oxen for thousands of years, it will have no chance of winning. A horse breed that is almost useless will be difficult to grow and grow in the economy and society.
So the final outcome of the new breed of horse that pulled the cart for Mr. Qiu is almost certain: death!
When Mr. Qiu was mentioned like this, he had no interest in speaking. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
Wen Xu understood that although these old people often retreated, they would still care about things they could care about. It may be because they have been used to it for a long time. The older generation seems to regard worrying as their own responsibility.
"Brother Wen Xu, this road seems wrong." The casual soldier saw Xiao Yao signaling Erbai to turn around, and did not enter the town but ran west along the small fork road, and immediately asked.
Before Wen Xu could speak, Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "Xiaolin, why are you afraid of following him? He doesn't care about me, the old man. Besides, even if there is something, I'm happy to be with my teacher and old friends, I'll be happy wherever I go!"
"Yes!" The guard surnamed Lin immediately shook the reins in his hand and quickly followed.
Wen Xu explained: "It will be difficult for us to pass through the center of the town at this time. I heard that it is crowded and crowded, and it is difficult to walk! If we don't go here as canned food, we will walk around the outside of the village. This road will be turned around and you will reach the Ice Sculpture Garden."
The speed on the trail is faster because the snow on the ground has not melted at all. Not only has it not melted, but it has also been trampled by many. Now you can see the ruts or footprints of people at random, and then it is covered and ground by snow. It is not easy to walk on the family, but it is so comfortable to run on the sled. You can't feel the bumps when you sit on the upper part, and you can't hear the rustling sound of the big sand that you scrape from time to time when walking on the road. Walking on such a trail, the sledgeboard under the sledge wouldn't be heard at all if you don't take it at all.
Wen Xu originally thought there were not many people on the trail, but what he didn't expect was that when he walked halfway, even the trail began to get a little blocked, and it was full of sledges, with strange and strange styles, some of which were still not as good as Western. It seemed that this meaning was Western, but this skill was really unsatisfactory.
"It's so lively!" Mr. Qiu stretched out his head at this time and looked around in a row.
At this time, the speed of the sledge dropped, and it was impossible to run. You could only walk and walk forward at the same speed as pedestrians.
I have to mention here that the county’s organization is really good. Just on such a path, you can see a red armband maintaining discipline in a while, so as not to have someone to go to the lineup. It was originally a path. If you insert it right and block the opposite path, the direct consequence is that all the paths will stop.
Are there people who are unconsciously? There must be some. When Wen Xu was about to reach the original territory of Ma City, he met a man in his fifties, who was dressed in a very good manner. Looking at his red face, he must have just had a drink.
"What are you?" The man jumped off his sledge and reached out and lit his chest with awesomeness: "Do you know how much I will take for a month, how much do you get for a month? You told me to let me go? Well!"
"You are blocking a path." Hong Jiebian felt a little weaker.
Judging from the clothes of the red armband, you can tell that they were honest people from the village, and they didn’t know why they were arranged to maintain traffic here.
As soon as these words came out, this man became even more arrogant: "What's wrong with blocking the road? I dare to block the road in the provincial capital! Don't talk about your country road."
After saying that, he reached out and slapped the red armband's face.
"Why are you hitting someone?" Hong Jiezhang hid back and said with a look on his face.
"I'm the one who beats you, a country man!" Seeing that Hong Jiezhang didn't fight back, the man became even more angry. He directly reached out and grabbed Hong Jiezhang's collar and wanted to hit him again.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!" The woman sitting in the man's car quickly got down and reached out to hold the man.
"Go away, get in a team and give me a chance. I'll suck this person to death!" The man broke away from his wife's arm and raised his hand to suck the red armband's face.
"Do you have any gifts to go to the line?" An old man next to him couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
"What does it have to do with you old thing!" The man replied directly to the old man.
Before he finished speaking, a dark man in his thirties and forties rushed over and punched the man who was hitting someone in the face: "Damn you dare to scold my father! You guys are beaten to death!"
As soon as the dark man took action, the young men standing next to him rushed over angrily, pounding the man who beat the man, and cursing: "I'm bullying us, no one, right?"
The road was so lively, and people around were shouting, killing this bastard and others.
The arrogant man just now was beaten into a pig's head by a group of village workers within a few minutes!
Facts have proved that sometimes farmers are much harder to bully than citizens.
