A few swimmers made an appointment to pick cherries in Wenchuan today, and I arrived at the music square at seven o'clock, the bus had stopped there, and the Mei sisters had already arrived. I got on the bus and put my things away, so I called Belle and Brother Mao, Belle said that the subway was over, and Brother Mao had arrived at the square.
At seven o'clock, the bus left on time, and the tour guide told everyone in the car that it was only possible to take a section of the highway and take nearly a three-hour drive to Wenchuan. After listening to her words, no one cared. The car quickly arrived at Dong'an Lake, and as soon as I turned the corner, I got on Taodu Avenue, and I quickly fell asleep with my back against the back of the chair. When I woke up, I found that I had arrived in Pi County, and at this time the car drove very slowly, and I was still driving around Zhan Qi Village for half a day.
Later, the car entered the Dujiangyan urban area, because of the traffic lights, the drive was slower, so I drove, I don't know when to get to Wenchuan? Someone in the car sprayed phlegm, why don't you take the highway? With such a speed, people will give you a whole faint, when will you open it closely? The tour guide quickly came out to explain that the fee charged at this price point could not afford to get on the highway, I will tell you first. At this time, the car stopped to go to the bathroom, and someone suggested adding some money and simply taking the highway, so that it was faster. After the driver's accounting, the tour guide communicated with everyone, each person paid ten yuan, and they all took the highway back and forth, and they all agreed, everyone was happy, and the car immediately turned and drove on the Duven Expressway.
This is the outside of Dujiangyan, a row of elderly cars parked on the side of the road, uncles sit together, drinking tea, while setting up a dragon gate array, hanging some birdcages on the trees, thrushes in the cages keep chirping, singing gentle songs, this is the leisurely life of Chengdu people.
Just got on the highway and entered the tunnel, I don't know what, traffic jams, today there are many people to pick cherries, piled up, stop and go, slowly move forward, finally out of the tunnel, traffic jams gradually eased. When we arrived in Wenchuan, we came to the Min River, and on both sides of the Min River is the county seat of Wenchuan.
After the bus drove a little longer, we stopped on the side of the road and met a cherry farmer, a middle-aged man who took us to the entrance of the village, called Shuimogou, a Qiang ethnic group.
After we entered the village, along the steep slope, the houses of the villagers are very distinctive, these are houses built after the earthquake, this door is a nest of tall cypresses, the thick trunk is hung red, has become a god, it seems that it should be hundreds of years old, recently the Internet said that the king of trees was found in Tibet Ganoderma lucidum, the tree is more than a hundred meters high, is a nest of cypress trees.
This farmer's house is relatively primitive, with an iron lock on the door, stone walls, big red couplets, and a pair of mighty door gods. Seeing this kind of old house, there is a feeling of a long absence, iron locks guard the property, and the door god protects the peace.
We followed the country road on the mountainside to the orchard, which was planted with fruit trees, red cherries, green walnuts, loquats, apricots and dates, which were suitable for planting fruit trees, with plenty of sunshine and a large temperature difference between morning and evening.
This nest of cherries has grown into a towering tree, covered with yellow-red fruits. The tour guide warned us that you can't pick cherries on the road, not even a single leaf, beware of shouting that you lose money.
The cherries on the side of the road are ripe, red and hung on your head, we keep in mind the instructions of the guide, strictly abide by discipline, face temptation, silently chant, do not stretch out, stretch out your hand will be caught.
Finally walked to the farmer's orchard, and when they saw the red fruits full of fruits, everyone was jubilant, and they couldn't help but rush in. The owner greeted everyone and said, pick it casually and eat it, pay attention to safety when picking the tree, don't fall down, pay attention not to break the tree, pick it to buy and go, twenty yuan a pound.
Rushing to their favorite target, several people gathered around the tree, tiptoeing and picking fiercely, completely regardless of whether they looked ugly or not.
Some people climbed ladders, some climbed trees, and some people used hooks and hooks, one by one, they picked up and washed without washing, and they beat them in the mouth, all saying that they were delicious.
We old men, dare not ba trees, safety first, point to this nest of trees, regardless of size and shape, press until ripe picking, red and black, the taste is not on the table, I like to eat sweet and sour fruits the most. At this time, I picked one and ate one, and ate it in one go, probably eating more than one pound or two.
Brother Mao told me that after the laborers and management cut in, they didn't care about anything, they blared their brains to eat, they were so full that they couldn't eat anything after the food.
There was a doll standing in the tree picking cherries, eating while picking, screaming and calling for her mother, only to see a female doll rushing over and asking her what was the matter? Seeing this scene, a few of us next to us didn't understand, they were young! Obviously they are two sisters, how can they be mother and daughter? One of them ran over and asked, are you kidding? They said, no! It turned out that my daughter was in her first year of high school.
Seeing that everyone was having fun and eating so comfortably, the tour guide spoke, almost, it was past one o'clock, it was time to go to lunch. I hurried over to buy cherries and called the owner to weigh me three catties, not a cardboard box, just put it in a plastic bag. This is what they picked in advance, there are several large barrels, the husband weighs the falcon, and the wife collects money. The woman told me that she was Tibetan, the man was Qiang, and that her in-laws' old men were in good health, and they all helped pick cherries in the garden.
On the way back, one by two, hands are not empty, full of loads.
Came to the side of the highway, a farmer came out with a few barrels of cherries, only ten yuan a pound, how cheap they were, someone ran over to choose sharply, when the selection was weighed, the farmer stopped working, asked for twenty yuan a pound, this person did not want it. Also, ten pieces a pound, is a casual catch. I bought 6 pounds, I grabbed it casually, this cherry should be cooked, the taste is very good.
It's almost three o'clock for lunch, the supermarket owner here is very good at business, repair the bathroom in the supermarket roar, the bathroom is spacious and hygienic, or free, if you want to enter the bathroom, you must visit the supermarket, there are rich goods, food and clothing, everything. There are also voice prompts, what do you need to prepare to enter Jiuzhaigou, for fear that you will suffer a loss, cold to hunger. To be honest, it's still a bit human.
In the afternoon, I went to Yingxiu, which is the epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake, visited the earthquake site of Xuankou Middle School, I came here for the second time, as an experience of that earthquake, Chengdu benefited from the geographical environment, there was no danger, but we felt the disaster suffered by the people in the disaster area. Together with Brother Mao, I stood in front of the stone monument to pay silent tribute to the victims.
There are many people who come, many have not experienced the disaster, many people are looking at it as a landscape, some are hip-hop and laughing, some are just coming to take pictures, seeing this, I don't have a taste in my heart, and it's not good to say anything.
The reconstructed town of Yingxiu is very beautiful, and the streets are very lively, with many houses above and shops below, and the stalls are full of local products.
There are also a lot of cherries here, the taste is worse than the orchard, these two customers are fine, one by one, the wife said hello, casually grabbed, don't choose ha.
When we came back to the highway, we saw that farmland infrastructure was being carried out everywhere, and the original green space was turned into farmland and rice was planted.
Today's day trip, have a lot of fun, eat well, don't have to pay for yourself, did not enter the shopping store, everyone said comfortable!
