C121 Remembering the past

The word "miss the old man" instantly petrified Liu Sanshun and Hao Dali.

They wanted to interrupt the old lady, but seeing her radiant face, they could not bear to do so. They simply did not make a sound and quietly listened to her reminisce about the past.

"Your Grandpa Liang and I are children. When we were born, the world was in chaos. Our parents brought us children to hide and seek. Until the establishment of the new China. . . It was only then that we came here to settle down, which is the current Little River Village. " . . .

As if she had thought of something sad, Old Madam Wu's eyes dimmed. She was silent for a long time before she continued.

"At that time, there were only about three hundred Hezhe people in China. They were pitifully few. My father also passed away at that time, so he left us to rely on each other. Because of the child marriage, the Liang family took good care of us. When we settled down in this village, our two families also lived in the same yard. "

"At that time, Little River Village didn't have so many people. It was only a dozen or so families. Almost all of them were Hezhe people. We relied on farming and fishing to make a living. The men in the family often went to the mountains to shoot wild boars. They could make us very happy because they could sell them outside to sell for a little more money. "

"Although our life was a little tough, it was good that it was stable. The location of our small village was not bad. It could be said that we lived a peaceful life. The number of people in the village also increased. Later on. . . The national policy is good, and with the help of the higher-ups. . . The people here also started to work and go to school. They even built a school for us and let the university students come to the countryside to teach. "

Speaking up to this point, the old lady was suddenly stunned. Then, she walked to the cabinet beside the television and took out an old and worn photo album. She wiped the dust off it and called Liu Sanshun and Hao Dali over to take a look.

"Why don't we talk about this? I forgot that I still have the photos from back then. Look, this is the school that was built at that time, which is also the place where you two brats went to primary school. Don't look at how it looks like now. It was a few outhouse at the beginning. "

The two of them looked along and saw that the little black and white photos were already somewhat blurry, but they could still vaguely see how simple and crude the house at that time was.

Old Madam Wu showed the two of them a lot of photos again. They were all records of important moments of life. In her words, life was poor. That was why they were only willing to take photos at important times.

Liu Sanshun looked at these photos as if he had found a treasure. Although he felt sad and sad looking at his previous life, he was actually glad that he was poor and could not afford to take photos. Otherwise, where would he find so many important moments to record!

With these photos, Grandma Wu did not say anything else. She simply told them the stories in the photos. Liu Sanshun also used his phone to take a picture of these representative pictures. The two of them then happily took their leave.

"How is it? Brother, I said go to Grandma Wu's house, right? Look at that photo album. It's like the history of our Little River Village's development. "

Hao Dali walked proudly as if he had done something big. He shook his head and showed off.

"En, this beating was indeed not in vain. I can't bear to part with the child and can't trap the wolf. It's still early. Let's go. Let's go to Uncle Black's place to pick the wind. "

"Ah?! We still need to go to Uncle Black's place? If I don't go, you can go by yourself. Uncle Black always keeps a stern face, which is very scary. Besides, his temper is even worse. A dozen thousand people is much more vigorous than Grandma Wu. I don't dare to go. Yes, I don't want to go. "

As Hao Dali spoke, he was about to run home. Liu Sanshun reacted quickly and grabbed him back.

"Look at your little guts. Where did your fearless strength go? It's not like you've offended Uncle Black. My relationship with him has been pretty good recently. What are you afraid of? He's just like that. He's stubborn and soft-hearted. Don't worry. Come with me. He won't be able to eat you. "

Liu Sanshun thought in his heart. How could he let you leave? If he really did offend Uncle Black, he would be able to share the burden of the beating. Hehe.

Hao Dali thought to himself, 'That's the truth. Although Uncle Black is a little scary, it's not to the extent of hitting people. Even if you make him unhappy, you can just sell me and run away. '

The two of them walked towards Uncle Black's house. Along the way, they took quite a number of photos. There were pictures of scenery and houses. There were all sorts of things. As long as there were any useful things, they would be taken. They would be kept as materials for fish skin paintings.

When he arrived at Uncle Black's house, he saw him sitting in the yard, tidying up the fishing tools. He was tidying up very slowly and meticulously, as if he was treating his beloved girl.

Liu Sanshun had heard him say that the fishing equipment was his partner. If you really treated it well, it would bring you good luck and bring you more benefits.

In the evening sky, there were a few clouds floating. The sunset was warm and light. It sprinkled on the tuft and on Uncle Black's body. As the breeze blew, the dried fish in the yard and the raincoat swayed gently, accompanied by the sound of Uncle Black tidying up the fishing net.

This scene was extremely beautiful.

Liu Sanshun felt as if he had transmigrated back to Little River Village a few decades ago. The Hezhe people were leaning against the mountains and waters, fishing and hunting. They worked when the sun set and rested when the sun set. He hurriedly raised his phone and fixed the beautiful scene in front of him. Then, he walked over with a feeling of respect that he had never felt before.

"Uncle Black, we're busy. We'll help you. "

Uncle Black looked up at them and snorted coldly. "Don't move. It's dirty. "

"It's fine. We're always helping my second uncle pack his things. What's there to be afraid of?"

"You think too much. I'm talking about you guys. "

. . . ""

Old Black finished tidying up the last bit before looking at the two speechless people. He slowly lit up his pipe and took a puff before spitting out a thick smoke.

"The fish I caught today were all bought. I didn't bring anything back. It was a waste of your time. "

Hao Dali pursed his lips and winked at Liu Sanshun. He meant, Look, I said Uncle Black is scary, but you insisted on dragging me here to suffer.

Liu Sanshun ignored him. In front of Uncle Black, he had already trained himself to be super shameless. Why would he care about his unpleasant words?

"Uncle Black, we're not here to mess with the fish skin today. We're here to ask you to tell us the story of our Hezhe Tribe. I'm here to make fish skin paintings to participate in the competition. I'm looking for inspiration. "

"Go look for inspiration when you hear a story. I don't know how to tell stories. I only know how to fish every day. It's not like you haven't seen it before. What's there to tell?"

As he spoke, he was about to enter the house to cook when Liu Sanshun hurriedly stopped him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Don't, Uncle Black. You're the representative of our village's most authentic Hezhe clan. Tell us about the scene when you were fishing in the past. "

Seeing that he was indifferent, He took out his phone and turned on the live broadcast room. Then, he aimed at Uncle Black.

"Uncle Black, just tell me. I'm broadcasting live. The whole country is watching you. This is a chance for the Hezhe people to show their faces. Don't be afraid. "

"I've already prepared the title. It's called 'Listening to Uncle Hezhe's Story'. "
