Lingxi Village in Huaxia Kingdom is a place with outstanding people. Why is it said that this place has outstanding people? It is because in a certain dynasty and a certain generation, there was a noble concubine in this place. The name of the concubine happened to be Lingxi.

Mountain Village' was changed to 'Lingxi Village'.

Just next to Niushan, there is a small stream. The stream is not big, but it has not stopped flowing for hundreds of years. The local people believe that there is a river god in the stream, and it is the river god who protects their Lingxi Village.

After the reform and opening up, the first college student and the first military officer appeared in Lingxi Village. When the country resumed the college entrance examination in the first year, among the first batch of students to take the exam, the first college student appeared.

At only eighteen years old, he was admitted to the highest university in the imperial capital.

As for officers, they have joined the army since childhood. While some of their fellow villagers became martyrs and some were demobilized, they resolutely and successfully became officers after going to the battlefield several times.

The female college student and the talented military officer got together. From then on, the reputation of Lingxi Village became even greater. Because of its mountains and rivers, Lingxi Village was developed into a tourist resort, but it has always maintained its original style, making it popular for tourists to come here.

Everyone will say that it is simple and natural, which makes people forget to leave.

Taomi sat next to Lingxi Village, watching the fish swimming in the stream, then got up and walked towards the village.

"Fangfei, you're back. Where have you been?" As soon as Taomi entered the village, a fat woman greeted her and said hello.

"Go for a walk by the river. Aunt Liu, you don't seem to look better today." Taomi opened her eyes and said to the sallow-skinned woman in front of her, without any consciousness of lying, "Did you rub something? It feels like

It smells so good.”

"You're such a sweet kid, what can I do with my face at my age? I just used some foreign soap to wash my face. I'll wait for my aunt to come home and cut a piece of it for you. I'm sure it will make your face more hydrated."

." Aunt Liu walked a few steps into Taomi and checked to see if no one was paying attention.

Taomi quickly refused, "No, Aunt Liu, I'll just ask my dad to buy it for me. You can keep yours for yourself. I'll go back first."

"Hey, it just so happens that your parents should go back. There's a lot of work today. Hurry up and prepare the food so they can eat it. They have to work after a break."

"I understand, Auntie."

When they got home, their three-room earthen house was the bigger house along the way. Taomi neatly picked a few green vegetables from her garden and found them from the warehouse.

The dried eggplants that were dried last year are two dishes in total. Although they are both vegetarian, the oil and water are quite sufficient in this era.

After finishing it, I put it on the table, went back to my room, bolted the door, lay down on the earthen bed, and began to accept the whole plot.

What she had just received by the river was the memory of the original owner. The original owner's name was Shen Fangfei, and she was the daughter of the village chief of Lingxi Village. In this era of poverty, the conditions of the village chief's family were relatively better, and Shen Fangfei was

She is Shen Cheng's only daughter, so she naturally gets what she wants.

She has never worn old clothes, has the best food, and has never done farm work. Compared with other girls in the village, her face is delicate and her hands have never been rough. She is much happier.

With better living conditions, it is inevitable that some young ladies will have temperament, but Shen Fangfei is not a good-for-nothing young lady. Her sweet mouth is recognized by the whole village, and she is naturally smiling. She will not speak to anyone she sees. Let me laugh first, although I am not good at farm work, I am very good at housework.

In this era, marrying a daughter-in-law is to add a child to the family. The wife must be capable and virtuous. Shen Fangfei obviously does not fall into this category, but because Shen Cheng is the village chief, there is no need to have such a wife. This is worrying, after all, the emperor’s daughter has no worries about getting married, it’s not just talk.

But the tragedy was born from this incident. A woman's fear of marrying the wrong man was vividly displayed in Shen Fangfei. Because Shen Cheng was the village chief, many young people came to propose marriage after Shen Fangfei came of age.

One of the young people named Ying Huada caught Shen Cheng's eye. Ying Huada was from a village not far from Lingxi Village. He was also a city dweller before, and his parents were both intellectuals. Due to the persecution in previous years, The one who came to the countryside was a good-looking man. Although he was not the kind of stunningly handsome man, he was still handsome. The most important thing was that both his parents were dead and he only had an old grandmother. He had been waiting for Shen Fangfei to marry for a few years. Once grandma dies, Shen Fangfei still has the final say.

Shen Cheng originally thought that Ying Huada's parents were intellectuals who were raped, so he should be good, so he agreed to the marriage. Who knew that Ying Huada was not very old and actually had two pictures before and after marriage? face.

He looked like a hard-working young man before marriage, but after marriage he was very lazy and didn't do any work. He was a latecomer and had no land. Originally, as long as he worked, he would still get dividends every year, but he just didn't do anything. Looking at his boxes of books.

At first, Shen Fangfei was supportive, thinking that there was nothing wrong with being a little educated. At least she wouldn't be like the men in the village who were full of swear words, and she couldn't even listen to them.

But gradually she discovered that Ying Huada regarded the books in those boxes as treasures and did not allow her to touch them. Once when Shen Fangfei was fighting cockroaches, she accidentally touched the books on the ground. They were not dirty at all. Ying Huada refused to give up.

From then on, Shen Fangfei discovered that Ying Huada was a problematic person. His main task every day was to read and do nothing. Whenever Shen Fangfei mentioned it, Ying Huada would call her a vulgar person. We had no common language with her, so they slept in separate rooms.

Shen Fangfei thinks she is right. She also likes educated people, but can just being educated be enough to make a living?

Now there is not a penny coming into the family every day. What we eat every day is either her dowry or things brought back from the Shen family. Even the Ying family’s vegetable garden is deserted because of Ying Huada and grandma’s disregard. If If she hadn't brought back the food, she would be drinking from the northwest wind now.

Grandma Ying also knew that her grandson had gone too far, so she asked him to coax Shen Fangfei. Shen Fangfei thought that life would still be the same, so she forgave Ying Huada.

But after all, there was a knot in his heart. After that, Ying Huada still did nothing, but he ate as much as anyone else. Half of the food Shen Fangfei cooked every day went into his stomach. If he was the backbone of the family, Shen Fangfei didn't know what to say at all, but Ying Huada didn't do anything.

When the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, Ying Huada failed in the first year, but he never failed. He said that any number one scholar in ancient times passed the exam at a young age.

Shen Fangfei thought the same at first, but in the second and third years, Ying Huada failed the exam, and gradually Ying Huada became a middle-aged greasy uncle.

Seeing Ying Huada accomplishing nothing and doing nothing but holding a few books every day, Shen Fangfei's dissatisfaction with him reached its peak.

She is not just an ordinary rural girl. When she was young, she had the dream that every girl has, to marry the best man. But she chose the wrong one. In addition to that face, Ying Huada also has a different personality.

The roughness of a rural boy leaves him with nothing left to offer.

Shen Fangfei and Ying Huada had a falling out. She insisted not to let Ying Huada take the college entrance examination again. She wanted Ying Huada to become a man who could take care of the family with her father, not just a man who only took his wife's dowry. Even if he had no ability, at least

You have to work hard.

Ying Huada believed that Shen Fangfei was no longer the good girl who supported him, so she still filed for divorce. Their daughter-in-law of the Ying family could be ignorant, but she could not be a woman who did not pursue ideals.

The two divorced, and Ying Huada continued his studies. Unknown to him because he failed to pass the exam, he became a destined thorn in Shen Fangfei's heart. She didn't want to touch it, and she didn't dare to touch it.

Shen Fangfei returned to the Shen family. Although Shen Cheng was still the village chief, the conditions of the Shen family were not bad, but they were open and there were endless gossips, especially since the sisters who had grown up together had been admitted to college and married a

The two soldiers were very affectionate and returned home in fine clothes. Gradually, Shen Fangfei fell into depression and soon passed away.

Shen Fangfei's wish is to let Ying Huada know that he is not the material to study together at all, and no matter how many books he reads, he will always be at a loss.

After accepting Shen Fangfei's words, Taomi didn't ask for the plot. She didn't need to know the plot.

From the time she was born, Shen Fangfei had no worries about food and drink in an era of poor material resources. Marrying Ying Huada can be said to be a tragedy, not only for Shen Fangfei, but also for this era.

It's said that reform and opening up has started, but why are women the ones who get the gossip after divorce, while Ying Huada can still study? This is unfair.

"Fang Fei?" After Shen's mother came back, she saw Taomi lying on the kang from the window and shouted inside. Seeing that Taomi didn't respond, she asked in confusion, "Why is this child asleep now?"

After that, they went to eat. After taking a short rest, the two of them went to work in the fields.

Taomi got up and looked at the whole house. Shen Fangfei is now sixteen years old, and the time is seventy-five years. There are still two years before Shen Fangfei marries Ying Huada. She does not plan to marry Ying Huada. As for

She is not prepared to take revenge. For someone like Ying Huada, as long as you are higher than him and don't take him seriously, that is the best punishment.

Taomi remembered that when Shen Fangfei first married Ying Huada, the people in the village were not very educated at that time, so the village wanted him, the only person who knew some words, to work as an accountant in the brigade, but he didn't know how to do it at all.

Being in the company of those stupid people who use foul language, I rejected them outright.

Just because Shen Fangfei told the village chief about this matter, he had a cold war with Shen Fangfei for a long time, thinking that Shen Fangfei had belittled him.

He has been expelled from the city, and he is still pretentious. That is his own problem.

"Fangfei, there are a lot of mushrooms growing in the mountains just after it rained. Let's go together." Taomi was in a daze doing nothing in the yard, but Liu Lantong walked into the yard with a basket and said.

Taomi looked over and saw a girl wearing a plain shirt walking towards her. She was smiling and saying something that made people happy when she saw her. "Okay, just wait for me."

This was Shen Fangfei's best friend, who later became the first female college student in Lingxi Village to be admitted to college, and later married a soldier.

When she was a child, Shen Fangfei always thought that she was better than her. She was the only daughter in the family, while Liu Lantong had older brothers and younger brothers in her family. No matter the external conditions or appearance, they could not compare with her. Who knew that the fate of the last two people would be completely opposite?

.

The two went up the mountain together. Legend has it that a long time ago, this was a barren mountain with wild boars and wolves. No one dared to go up the mountain. However, in the past few years, there was a famine, so the villagers went up the mountain together to eat.

Everything has been eaten, and now it has truly become a barren mountain.

There are only thick trees in the forest, which have no biological activity at all. Originally, the villagers wanted to cut down these fruitless trees for farming, but the old village chief said that this tree has protected Lingxi Village from ancient times to the present.

It has been hundreds of years and has never been cut down.

It is these trees that support those wild animals. Without these wild animals, they would have starved to death, so no one is allowed to cut them down. This is why so many century-old trees have been preserved.

"The trees here are so tall and thick. They look like they are only a few decades old." Liu Lantong said in shock as soon as he arrived outside the woods. In future generations, let alone trees that are hundreds of years old, they are just decades old.

There are very few trees, replaced by various high-rise buildings and exhaust smog.

"You don't know?" This is not a forbidden place, so how could she look like something she had never seen before.

Listening to Taomi's question, Liu Lantong quickly calmed down his expression, "Well, it's been a long time since I've been here. I feel like I haven't seen these for a long time."

"We have been running around in this forest since we were children. If you really didn't know, I should suspect that there is something wrong with your head." After Taomi finished speaking, she took the lead and walked into the forest.

Liu Lantong from the back patted her chest. It was so dangerous that her secret was almost revealed, but this little friend was really smart. He noticed something unusual from her words.

The poplar trees are the most numerous in the forest, and naturally the poplar trees have the most mushrooms. They are found under almost every tree, so there is no need to put much effort into finding them.

Every once in a while, the two of them picked two full baskets. Seeing that Liu Lantong still wanted to go inside, Taomi pulled her and said, "Don't go in. What if you encounter danger?"

Of course, the danger Taomi mentioned was not the encounter with wild boars or wolves, but the traps that someone had set before. The further inside, the more traps there were. She just saw two of them two or three meters deep.

There are also various animal traps, which will be very troublesome if you encounter them.

Liu Lantong thought for a moment, "But I want to take a look, why don't you go back first." She went in not only to pick up something, but also to see what it was like inside. She used to be a

Cai Feng Painter, even if you see this century-old tree, it is just a single tree, and you have never seen it in a forest.

It's a pity that I don't have a paintbrush now, otherwise I would have to paint this beautiful scenery.

"Then let me and you go in together, and we can take care of each other."

Liu Lantong nodded, and the two of them walked deep into the forest. Along the way, Liu Lantong was shocked by the age of the surrounding trees. However, due to the presence of Taomi, she had to hide her surprise, but her eyes kept lingering on the trees.

, and never left.

"Fangfei, do you know when these trees were grown?"

“I don’t know, but I heard from my dad that someone wanted to cut down these trees for farming, but the old village chief disagreed, saying that it was precisely because of these trees that they supported so many wild boars and pheasants.

You won’t starve to death, and I heard that because there were wolves in the forest, no one had ever come to chop them down.”
