Chapter 4 Daoxiang
In addition to the shade of trees, there is also an extremely flat and wide land mixed with the Kuishan Village and Daqing Mountains.
The few acres of land owned by Xu Changqing's family are located on this flat land.
At this time, Kuishan Village must have just experienced a heavy rain.
The dirt road leading to the depths of the fields was full of mud. Xu Weijun carefully stepped on the soil under his feet and headed towards the depths of the fields with difficulty.
Xu Changqing, who was floating in the air, was not affected at all, and was comfortable to enjoy the rare beautiful scenery under his feet.
Daqingshan, in later generations, became a tourist attraction that was not famous but was somewhat popular because of the hype of internet celebrities.
Then, Daqing Village and the fertile fields behind Daqing Village were all classified into tourist areas and built a tourist town to serve tourists. While exquisite, it was filled with a strong commercial atmosphere.
Although it is not bad, Xu Changqing doesn't like it.
Every time I come back and wander in the bustling town, Xu Changqing will involuntarily remember the lush wheat field that I passed by when I was young and when I was eating pig grass and wild vegetables.
At that time, the land behind Kuoshan Village was far less lively and prosperous than it had developed in later generations.
In the empty fields, except for the golden rice ears and three or two vaguely visible figures of busy people, only the breeze and cicadas and the fragrance of wheat and rice remain, which enriches the peace and tranquility that cleanses people's hearts.
After many years, I once again saw the area of this very familiar but somewhat unfamiliar field under my feet.
While Xu Changqing was happy, he couldn't help but feel some unique novelty.
Especially Xu Changqing knew how earth-shaking changes would happen in decades this field that looked extremely ordinary now.
This different contrast between the past and the future is undoubtedly a very strange experience.
"I have to admit that time is the greatest power in this world..."
Looking at the wheat fields beneath his feet, Xu Changqing thought with emotion.
...
Now it is approaching October, and in the early autumn season, the QS area is still inevitably a bit of residual heat left in summer.
As noon approaches, the scorching sun shines on the fields, and the sultry air makes people feel a little irritable. Only the breeze that blows by from time to time in the rolling heat wave can make people feel a little cool in early autumn.
The harvest season is coming soon, and it should be full of joy that the harvest is about to come.
But for Xu Jianguo, who was sitting in the field, he could not see a trace of joy on his face at this moment.
Frowning tightly, looking at the wheat fields growing well under his feet, Xu Jianguo sucked the dry tobacco lightly, unable to hide his sad face.
This year is undoubtedly a troublesome year for Xu Jianguo and his family.
First, two elderly people at home died one after another, and then there was a heavy rain that was rare in decades.
The continuous heavy rain poured down, causing mountain torrents and almost transformed the plain at the foot of Daqing Mountain into a Honghu Lake.
The Kuishan Village, located not far from the foot of Daqing Mountain, is naturally not spared.
The rapid mountain torrent destroyed the Xu family's old house. Although it had never hurt anyone, it almost burned the savings of Xu Jianguo family for decades.
Before Xu Jianguo could repair his old house, Xu Weijun, the second son in his family, was returned home by the school because of a fight, and he could face the risk of being expelled at any time.
"It's raining all night long."
A few simple words can be said to be the most true portrayal of Xu Jianguo's family this year.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters have been hit one after another, which has almost reached the point where Xu Jianguo and his family are almost unable to get out of their way.
The future of the second child, the livelihood of the family, and some complicated trivial matters in life, countless troubles followed in just a few months.
It was like mountains hitting, pressing Xu Jianguo, who was in his prime, was about to breathe...
But Xu Jianguo knew that anyone could fall down, and he, as the pillar of his family, could never fall down.
Even though the pressure on his body was as heavy as a fortune, Xu Jianguo still pretended to be the same as usual, not wanting to worry the children at home, but on the other hand, he was a little open-minded.
After all, no matter how hard it is, life will continue...
After checking the last acre of wheat fields and confirming that there was no mistake, Xu Jianguo finally had a rare rest.
Leaning beside the trees beside the field, Xu Jianguo, who adjusted his posture, sucked a sip of dry tobacco, squinted his eyes and stared at the wheat fields that were growing well in the fields, and his frown brows were slightly relieved.
Fortunately, although the continuous heavy rain washed away the dam and caused mountain torrents, almost flooding the entire plain at the foot of the mountain.
But in the end, it still leaves a little room for the people living under this mountain for generations.
At least this wheat field carrying the hopes of Xu Jianguo and his family have not been drowned.
For farmers like Xu Jianguo, who have been working for generations, as long as the land is not deserted, no matter how great the hardship is, it can still be overcome...
...
"father……"
"It's time to eat..."
Unfortunately, the quiet time is always short. Before Xu Jianguo finished smoking a bag of cigarettes in his hand, Xu Weijun's breathless voice came from the other end of the field because he was busy rushing.
"I know."
Looking at Xu Weijun who was waving to him with great effort, Xu Jianguo sighed lightly.
After knocking on the dry tobacco in his hand, Xu Jianguo slowly packed his things neatly and then slowly stood up and walked towards the location where Xu Weijun was.

...
Xu Changqing, who was floating in the air, arrived closely following Xu Weijun's footsteps.
He paused beside Xu Weijun and waited until Xu Jianguo walked to Xu Weijun that Xu Changqing could see clearly the face that was much younger than he had in his impression.
Looking at Xu Jianguo, who was in his prime and still had a charm, Xu Changqing's calm mood inevitably fluctuated again.
In his previous life, since he went to college, Xu Changqing would only return to his hometown after the Chinese New Year for a few hours.
The longest is only half a month, and the shortest is only three or two days.
In this short and fleeting time, what Xu Changqing remembers the most is besides the ever-changing changes in Daqing Village.
It is the growing old grandpa and grandma, and of course, the kind smile they have never changed before...
Because of family reasons, Xu Changqing lived with his grandparents since he was very young.
The special experience from childhood to adulthood has made Xu Changqing's feelings for his grandparents deeper than his father who can only come back during the holidays and who has seen him less than a few times a year.
