After breakfast the next day, Zeng Lingfeng took the little girl home. This time he drove his own car. Because of Zeng Chuipu, he was not worried about being caught by the traffic police.

After an hour's drive, I finally arrived in front of the old house.

"Wow, what a beautiful stilt house!" Xiao Suchang opened the car door and exclaimed at the stilt house hanging high in front of him.

The road leading to the old house is newly built.

I remember that the road to the courtyard was built in my previous life when Zeng Lingfeng was in middle school. It was taken from the road from the county town to the countryside. At that time, due to some neighborhood disputes, I could not build the courtyard of Zeng Lingfeng's family, but it was not built in front of the courtyard. It was not until Zeng Lingfeng went to work in the Ninth Research Institute for several years before he finally built the courtyard. Now it is 20 years ahead of schedule.

The old house is a local style stilt house, which has a history of more than a hundred years. It is a real century-old house. Due to its long history, although it has been well maintained, it still seems a bit old.

According to Zeng Lingfeng's original intention, he wanted to demolish the old house and rebuild it into a modern small villa, but this idea was fiercely opposed by everyone in the family. In their eyes, the old house was left by their ancestors and could not be damaged, let alone demolished and rebuilt. Although Zeng Lingfeng told them a lot of the benefits of small villas, his family never let it go. And Zeng Lingfeng was abroad again over the years, so he had to give up.

When I saw the old house, Zeng Lingfeng's feelings were different. However, he had no intention of demolishing it and building it into a small villa.

Obviously, this is the result of the family spending a lot of money and hard work to renovate.

The old house faces east and west. From the appearance, it is an English "U" shape or a Chinese character "concave" shape. The house covers an area of ​​about 800 square meters, with a total of 11 large rooms, with a total area of ​​about 1,600 square meters. It is quite large from the perspective of area.

At this time, the old house that Zeng Lingfeng and Su Chang saw had been replaced with new appearance, and all the rooms were decorated with new wooden boards. Judging from the traces, it should have happened in the past two years. At this time, the old house looked very beautiful, revealing new vitality in the simplicity.

The old house is alone on the hillside, which is a platform about fifty meters from the foot of the hill. The hill is very small, with a relative altitude of about one hundred meters. The foot of the mountain is a small river, which flows slowly around the hill. The river has a runoff for a year. However, because the environment here in my hometown is very good and the forest coverage rate is very high, reaching about 80%, the river flows very little in a year. The old house is separated by a trapezoidal small earth platform about 50 meters long, about 5 meters wide on the top and 15 meters wide on the bottom and about 5 meters high from the village courtyard. The left and back sides of the old house are surrounded by trees. The hillside between the front and the river is a bamboo forest. These make the environment around the old house look quiet and feel like a paradise.

Looking at the old house, Zeng Lingfeng couldn't help but think of Wang Wei's "Autumn Night in the Mountain".

After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late.

The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows up the stones.

The bamboo is noisy and the washing girl is washing her hair, and the lotus moves down the fishing boat.

The spring flowers are at will, and the princes can stay.

Yes, there are only lotus here, and there are fewer rivers or lakes that can radiate fishing boats!

Zeng Lingfeng had to sigh at the quiet environment of the old house. Even if he was a hermit, he would be extremely satisfied with an environment like the old house, not to mention that he was just a child who was slightly fond of a pure environment. How could he not be satisfied with it?

At this moment, he forgot that the old house cannot be equipped with air conditioners and the sound insulation effect is not good... He just immersed in the elegant and quiet beauty of the old house.

The old house is also called "Huawan" locally, because my grandfather Cheng Huangjian likes to grow flowers very much.

It can be said that Cheng Huangjian has a deep "fascination" for flowers. The open spaces around the old house are planted with all kinds of flowers: red, peonies, roses, camellia... All kinds of flowers bloom one after another in various seasons of the year, bringing the beauty and fragrance of flowers that are constantly blooming all year round to the old house. Although it cannot be said that this is a sea of ​​flowers, because the area of ​​flowers planted here is still very small, it can still be said that this is a paradise for flowers, which is worthy of the title of "Flower Bay".

Because Cheng Huangjian's special love for flowers, the family has a soul-savvy love for flowers. In their spare time, everyone will water the flowers around the yard, fertilize, weed and catch insects. These small details make all the flowers grow very well.

My grandfather has a special love for Ecological Red. Among the flowers he planted, Ecological Red is the most common, with more than ten species of them, both large and small.

Other more flowers around the old house include roses, peonies, orchids and camellias.

Rose is the favorite of my elder sister Zeng Lingshuang. She planted a lot of roses in the yard, but it seemed that the types were relatively single. Maybe she couldn't find many types! I remember that on the way back from Beijing, my elder sister was still talking about this.

The best-growing rose in the yard, I heard from my elder sister that it was planted in 1993. At that time, she was admitted to Peking University, so she planted this rose as a souvenir.

All camellias were planted by my mother's examination and practice, but there were not many types, and they were all common species in Danxing. Although she is the chairman of Tai Chi Group, a famous domestic pharmaceutical group, she rarely goes out, just taking care of the flowers and taking care of the elderly at home. Even though the family's economic environment is very good now, she still doesn't want to go around. There is a reason for this. In Zeng Lingfeng's memory, her mother was seriously motion sickness, and she could be said to be dizzy when she smelled the smell of gasoline. So every time she took a bus, it was equivalent to a serious illness, so she didn't like going out very much. It was not enjoyment for her, but suffering.

The orchid was planted by my second sister Zeng Lingxue in her spare time in her spare time. Because there are many species of orchids in her hometown, my second sister found a lot.

The annual average temperature here in Wuli Township is 15 degrees Celsius, with an annual rainfall of 1100 to 1200 ml, and the climate is distinct all year round. The ecological environment of Youzi has nurtured a rich wild orchid resource. In addition to molan and lotus petal orchids, Chunlan, Cymbidium, Chunjian, Hanlan, Jianlan and Jianlan have rich accumulations. Dozens of varieties of lotus, plum, fairy and leaf art among various orchids have been discovered. The strange flowers represented by "peony petals" and "chrysanthemum petals" have been discovered every year.

Although my second sister did not find all the types here, she found 80% orchids, which was a lot of gains. Among them, there were nearly a hundred trees, and there were also many orchids. At this time, the end of January in the Gregorian calendar, the orchids had begun to bloom. Looking around, hundreds of pots of orchids were charming, competing for beauty. Under the sunshine, clusters of delicate petals looked crystal clear and charming, and a gust of wind came, and the flowers and leaves danced lightly, and the fragrance was everywhere.

Peony is the favorite of Zeng Chuipu and Zeng Lingfeng. The peony at home are some varieties found by Zeng Chuipu after work, and Zeng Lingfeng did not make any contribution. After all, he has never been home since he was six years old, and he will not have the opportunity to grow flowers at home.

Looking at the beautiful environment of Zeng Lingfeng's old house, the little girl Su Chang was full of little stars and kept saying: "Brother Lingfeng, your house is so beautiful!"

Seeing that the little girl liked the environment of the old house, Zeng Lingfeng was also a little excited, but completely forgot his former old house renovation plan.

The family knew that Su Chang was coming because before returning home, Su Chang had contacted Zeng Lingfeng's family. Everyone loved this little girl who had been on the phone with them for many years. Now she said she was coming to play, so of course everyone was very welcome.

Now that everyone saw Su Chang's cute little look, they loved her so much that they left Zeng Lingfeng, a child who had not returned home for six years, left aside and talked to Su Chang.
