Chapter 176 175 "Only those who have lived underground understand the value of sunshine."
Fang Minghua and the other three rushed to Lu Yao's temporary residence in the coal mine hospital, which was a small conference room converted into a temporary residence. dormitory.
A table, a bed, a small cabinet, and several sofas. It seemed that the coal mine leader took good care of him.
But the inside is very messy, like a single man's home, with a mess of books, newspapers, and manuscript papers on the desk.
Fang Minghua randomly opened a book, and it turned out to be a bound volume of Yan'an Daily for ten years!
There are also "People's Daily", "Guangming Daily" and "Qin Provincial Daily".
This is preparing the writing background and materials.
Kung Fu is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not long after, Lu Yao hurried in. This time it was much cleaner than the previous one, but there were still streaks of coal dust on his ears and neck.
"The house is quite messy." Lu Yao quickly tidied things up. Seeing Fang Minghua and the others looking at him, Lu Yao smiled: "Don't laugh at me. There is coal dust no matter how you wash it. Anyway, Miners are like this too, so I’m used to it.”
"Then don't let my sister-in-law see it, otherwise I will drag you into the bathhouse and make you rub yourself again." Fang Minghua said humorously.
"Linda is from Yanjing and loves to be clean, so I am determined not to let her come to the mine to see me."
When mentioning Linda, Fang Minghua remembered the things he had brought and hurriedly picked up the He took out a bucket of Nescafe coffee from his travel backpack.
"My sister-in-law asked me to give this to you, saying that you can't live without this now."
"Nescafé? Lu Yao, do you drink this?" Shi Tiiesheng was surprised when he saw it.
"It's all Minghua's fault. He originally gave me a bucket, but it made me addicted." Lu Yao told the story about Minghua giving him Nescafe coffee three years ago, and several people laughed after hearing this.
“What I meant at the beginning was that you should drink coffee and smoke less cigarettes, but as a result, you smoked less cigarettes and drank coffee as well!”
At this point, Fang Minghua sighed. .
Both of these are refreshing, but long-term use is not good for the body.
"It's almost noon, I'll treat you to dinner." Lu Yao greeted enthusiastically: "There is a small restaurant next to the hospital, let's go there."
Without refusing, everyone pushed Shi Tiesheng's wheelchair and followed Lu Yao out of the hospital. As expected, there was a row of makeshift houses with asbestos tiles next to them. One of them was a small restaurant. Once inside, it was very narrow.
"The conditions in the mine are difficult, so there is only this small restaurant nearby, so I can make do with it." Lu Yao said.
Although the place is simple, the dishes cooked in the restaurant taste pretty good. There was an argument only when the wine bottle was opened.
"Brother Lu, I won't drink today. I have to drive, and Tie Sheng can't drink." Fang Minghua stopped and advised.
Lu Yao refused.
"Tie Sheng can't drink, isn't that Li Zhe? Why don't you get some wine? And you, Minghua, drink less while driving."
"Brother Lu, don't drink either, it's good for your health ."
"I'm in good health. Li Zhe, you are a doctor. How is my health?" Lu Yao said.
Li Zhe smiled: "You can't see anything on the surface. You need to have an examination. Alcohol hurts your liver. Minghua is right, drink less."
"Okay, I will listen to you today, let’s control the total amount, and the three of us will drink a bottle of Xifeng. Is that okay?”
Seeing Lu Yao's excited look, Fang Minghua had no choice but to shut up.
The four of them were eating and chatting. When talking about seeing Lu Yao going into the mine, Sun Lizhe asked curiously: "Lu Yao, you are also a great writer. To experience life, you need to go underground in person? That's not the case. It’s too dangerous.”
“Yes. It’s quite dangerous.” Lu Yao sighed after hearing this: “To tell you the truth, I was scared when I went into the mine for the first time. There was something happening dozens of meters underground. I felt an inexplicable feeling of suffocation and fear, and I was just worried that the mine would collapse."
Finally, I followed the miners onto the cage, rising quickly like a bucket in a well. The moment I walked out of the well, I saw the golden sunshine and breathed in the fresh air greedily, I knew what I was thinking at that time? "
"What do you think? ”
"Only those who have lived underground can understand the value of sunlight." Everyone was silent.
“So, this is the value of personal experience.” Lu Yao continued: “Otherwise, you will not be able to write about that true feeling.”
"Lu Yao, will the protagonist of the novel you are going to write work and live here?" Shi Tiiesheng interjected and asked.
"No, it started in the Qinbei Plateau and ended up here." Lu Yao said. "Perhaps this is the best place for him to belong?"
Listen to this tone? Do you have any regrets about the ending of Sun Shaoping in "The Ordinary World"?
Indeed, including the love tragedy between him and Tian Xiaoxia.
In fact, the more tragic ones should be Sun Shaoan and He Xiulian, right?
Such a good daughter-in-law was written to death, which is simply disappointing.
If I were to write, others could die, but not He Xiulian.
"Minghua."
Fang Minghua suddenly woke up when he heard Lu Yao calling him.
"What are you doing? Drinking? Li Zhe and I have done it."
"Okay, okay." Fang Minghua quickly raised his glass and drank it down.
At this time Shi Tiesheng said: "I have been away from Qinbei for ten years, and I have long wanted to return to Yanchuan, go back to Guanjiabao, see the cave dwellings where I once lived and the folks who worked together. Now I am trying to Zhe and Minghua finally helped me realize my long-cherished wish. Lu Yao, do you want to go back together and see? You have lived in Yanchuan for many years."
Lu Yao chuckled after hearing this: "Yanchuan is my hometown, and I go back almost every year. But since you and Li Zhe are here this time, I will accompany you, take a look around, and accumulate some materials."
“That’s great!”
Shi Tiiesheng was not in good health and it was not suitable to travel by car on a hot day, so everyone agreed to rest in the mine for one night and wait for the coolness the next morning before setting out on the road.
Go north along National Highway 210 and soon enter the Loess Plateau after passing Tongchuan. On the hillside on both sides, there are golden canola flowers, pink buckwheat flowers, dark green potato seedlings, oats have been filled, and the Maran-colored flax flowers are intoxicating.
Seeing the scene outside the window, Shi Tiiesheng became excited. "It's still like this. Sometimes I even dream about it."
After hearing this, Lu Yao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and smiled at Shi Tiesheng, who was sitting in the back seat: "Tiesheng, then you don't want to sing a song?"
"What to sing?"
< br>"When you jumped in line, our Qin Bei My aunt taught you so many songs, have you forgotten?”
“Ah? Okay, then I’ll sing one!”
Shi Tiezheng looked at the scenery outside the window and pondered. After calming down, I sang a cappella:
Big red rooster hairy legs,
Thinking of my little sister,
Sister, what kind of seductress are you,
Brother, I miss you and it’s hard to fall asleep, ahem~
The singing is melodious.
Everyone laughed.
Lu Yao laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe:
"I said Tie Sheng, you don't sing so many folk songs in Northern Qin, but you only sing this most sour song. Isn't that right at that time? Are you trying to seduce other women?”
When Shi Tiesheng heard this, he quickly said, “Hey, I don’t have that, Lu Yao. I was older at that time, but I wasn’t as handsome as he was, and I couldn’t cure diseases. Welcome, girl. Is there a girl named "Xiao Fang" who likes you? "Xiao Fang? Is there really a girl named Xiao Fang?" Fang Minghua, who was concentrating on driving, couldn't help but ask. road.
"This is true. There really was a local girl named Xiaofang who liked Sun Lizhe. However, the girl's family background was not good and she was a rich farmer. She was afraid of affecting him and eventually broke up."
