The fifth trip to Hufen Lake: the stupa

The next stop is to go to Thaksin Donglian Village. I have been to this village once, and the annual meeting of Hu Fenshi Society was held there, but the route was unfamiliar. Just when I called to open the navigation, Mr. Jindu, who was about to leave, told me that he knew Donglian and had been to Xuzhuang, and would like to accompany me to write.

Mr. Kindu is really a good man!

Donglian Village belongs to Qingpu and is the hometown of Han Zhang. Geji's ideas come from this great writer. In addition, Dongdong in the bustling red light district is also very famous.

The village party secretary is not here, and Yolanda he appointed has gone out to take photos. There is only one teenager on duty in the business hall and can't leave. Mr. Jin said, let's go by ourselves. Xuzhuang is on the east side of the village committee. Because of work, Mr. Jindu has been here twice and is familiar with it. It is right to have him as a guide.

There is a parking lot in the village. "Happy ASEAN, beautiful Xuzhuang" is like two gates, guarding Xuzhuang, opening it and walking in, which is the real Xuzhuang.

Wait a minute, there is a lotus pond outside the gate, which is really attractive. We should go and have a look. Wooden plank roads, zigzag bridges, pavilions, huge lotus leaves and a cool breeze are really refreshing. Yamato, painted houses, chickens and ducks strolling on the road. ...

Entering the gate, there is a fitness field in front of us. There are all kinds of fitness equipment in Chen Zhe. Several grandmothers are playing on the field with their grandchildren. What programs are playing on the big screen? The children are watching carefully with their eyes wide open.

Stepping on Xu, Xu Zhuanghe is under the bridge. I said that most of the villagers in Xuzhuang are surnamed Xu, right? Several old people who walked by the bridge shook their heads and said that there was no Xu in the village.

Like most villages, villagers in Xuzhuang live by the river. What is different is that some river piers are embedded indoors, and laundry and rice washing are all indoors, without sun and rain. We went to see it specially, not only the shrimp cage by the river, but also the "walking stove" we saw when we were children, and we also chatted with our 80-year-old grandmother for a while.

To the north of the village is a field, and the wheat has been harvested, leaving a golden straw. There is a vegetable field nearby, and grandparents bend down to help grow vegetables. By the river, a group of white geese take a leisurely walk, accompanied by a few grass chickens, who are self-reliant and live in harmony.

I like the rural scenery and original ecology here.

I met an old gentleman when I came out. He told us the details of this old house near the "gate": it is the oldest building in the village and its owner is a famous doctor. Because she cured the daughter of a Kuomintang official, she was reused and went to Taiwan Province Province. It is said that all the descendants of this family live abroad. As for Xu Zhuang, the old man speculated that there was a large family named Xu in the village, which might be punished by a court, so Xu did not exist.

It makes sense to think about it, but after all, it is a guess and unreliable.

Thank you, Mr. Jindu, for accompanying you all the way. After seeing him back to the village, I took a shortcut from Yangwentou's path to Beishe. I walked five towns in one day, and I really felt very tired. On the way back, Mr. Wang drove and I took a nap in the back seat.
