Following the direction pointed by the old man, we easily found the strange man's home. The appearance is ordinary folk houses. When we opened the door left unlocked, the "sunshine room" in the southeast corner of the yard came into view. When we opened the plastic curtains, we saw a middle-aged man sitting on the bed watching TV in his clothes. After greeting, he warmly invited everyone to sit down. Looking around, the room is about 20 square meters. The building materials are mainly steel pipes, and the rest are plastic sheets. It can't be simpler, but there are all kinds of living facilities, and even decorative paintings on the plastic walls. "Sit down, sit down, sit down and talk quickly, and slowly look at my mansion. I'll get up right away." A few words of Sichuan dialect drew our attention back to the man. Everyone quickly greeted him and introduced themselves.
Wu, a strange man, is 68 years old this year. When talking about why he can "live in seclusion" here, he began to talk about Kan Kan. Uncle Wu said that his ancestral home was in the countryside of Zigong City, Sichuan Province, and he had rich life experience, especially in marriage. He married six wives, which is a rare experience for ordinary people. From 65438 to 0982, he married his first wife in his hometown. After seven years of marriage, his wife disliked his big breasts. Later, I went to work in a private enterprise in Jiangsu, and was introduced by my workmates to two wives who had talked in the local area for some time. In 2004, he came to Yongji, Shanxi Province through the introduction of his master, and married a woman. After several years, the result was the same, and then he left two families, and the result was the same. Now he lives in the old yard of his last wife. Her family moved to a new house and settled down after breaking up. Although there are several tile houses in the yard, he doesn't.
Uncle said that it is a local custom to call this "sunshine room". In winter, old people often sit around the alley and chat. A simple house built of steel frame and plastic sheets can shelter from the wind and rain and the sun can shine in. This place may be based on the principle of modern agricultural greenhouses. This self-built "sun room" is made of two layers of plastic sheets and reinforced with cardboard in the middle. It has lived for several years and accumulated experience in cold resistance. There is no problem in winter. There are two specific aspects. First, strengthen physical exercise and improve the cold resistance of the body. It can be said that I have been traveling all my life and formed the habit of sports. Do long-distance running in the morning and wash your face with cold water every day to adapt your body to the climate in different parts of the north and south. The second aspect is to take protective measures against the cold, do as the Romans do, choose wool products for dressing, use electric blankets at night and cover with thick quilts to cope with the cold weather in winter.
"In fact, this person has a strong ability to adapt to the environment and cannot live too pampered. I think it's better to enhance the cold resistance. Living in a greenhouse all the time is not a good thing. Look, my body is extremely cold now. No matter how cold it is, I still live like this. It doesn't affect my actions at all. I run around all day, and many local colleagues don't. As long as I am frozen, I dare not come out in the greenhouse. My health is much better than theirs. Today is 6 degrees below zero.
Uncle Wu told us that he is a retired worker now. He has worked in a private enterprise in Jiangsu for decades, and after retirement, he can get a monthly pension of 1300 yuan. Now rural life costs about 800 yuan a month, which is still a high standard of living. One person is enough. After many marriages, he also wants to understand that fate cannot be forced. God gave him six chances, but he never had a happy result. This is his life. Now he wants to live for himself and live a happy life with a limited pension. This is why he no longer spends extra money to clean up the old house. The simple and convenient "sun room" suits him very well. It won't cost much to build another one in a few years.
Uncle put the kitchen in the old house and specially set up a closed aisle outside. The material is still his favorite plastic piece. From here to the yard, you obviously can't feel the stimulation of the cold wind. It seems that this method is quite effective.
It's already four o'clock in the afternoon after uncle gets up. According to his living habits, he wants to have lunch. He said that he is living a good life now. He wakes up naturally when he sleeps, sleeps as long as he wants, cooks when he is hungry, and eats snacks in the city if he doesn't want to cook. Anyway, it is enough for a person to eat the whole family, as long as he likes it.
"I have been in Shanxi for more than ten years. Although my living habits, especially my diet, have not changed much, I can accept your diet here. Usually, rice is the main food, and occasionally eat your local food, such as millet sweet potato porridge this winter. I like it, too. Get up in the morning and burn a big pot. Drink two bowls of thick rice, and then eat it in the afternoon, twice a day. I'll do it again tomorrow. Sichuanese like to eat rice. "
Uncle took the hot millet sweet potato porridge into his "sun room", sat in front of the coffee table and took out two bowls of dishes, a bowl of scrambled eggs and a bowl of Sichuan-style pork. It seems that his living standard is still quite high. "We Sichuanese are different from your Shanxi counterparts. You only earn money by building a high house and eating and drinking, but we are the first to eat and drink, so we should be healthy. If you want to eat well, I will eat better than you, so I don't pay attention to housing now. Eating and drinking well is the key. Although I live in the sun room, I live happily. "
Uncle is good at enjoying life. There are all kinds of household appliances in the humble "sun room", three TVs have been changed, and there are three mobile phones. He even bought a small tablet for playing small videos, and the electric vehicle instead of walking has been upgraded from the original two-wheeled and three-wheeled to the current four-wheeled vehicle.
Uncle Wu is a man who loves life. There are some plastic flowers hanging outside the sun room. Uncle bought these from the supermarket. He dresses up his home beautifully and likes red clothes. There are more than 10 pieces of red clothes hanging at home, which are red almost every season. He said that red is full of passion and has always been his favorite color. Life needs his inner sunshine, his outer sunshine and the image of sunshine.
"People often say that one party keeps the other alive. Since I decided to stay at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, I will blend in here. Here, the method of keeping out the cold in winter should also be learned from the locals. If the housing conditions are not good, I will mainly try to improve my own quality. In addition to strengthening exercise, I will also learn from local people in diet. I often dig some wild vegetables in the field, such as vines that villagers like to eat in winter. This is a good thing. This is a hot issue and a common practice. Uncle is very careful. Man Qing cooks porridge, and its green leaves eat vegetables.
Uncle Wu said that he and his first wife had two children, and his son awarded it to him. He has grown up and gone to work outside. Now he doesn't need to take care of him by himself. Looking back on his life, he concluded, "No matter how many wives you have married, everyone should sit down and talk. The two sides can't get along or have any problems before." Take it easy. One wrong step is one wrong step. To tell the truth, I still care about my first wife, several times.
Uncle Wu said: "The local villagers are very kind to me. Although they have a problem with my lifestyle, they think I am a little different. They joked that I was a' strange person', but they never disliked me. They even gave me some fruits and vegetables. People of the same age often come to my house to chat, play cards and play chess together. Of course, I still can't accept my sunny room in winter, mainly because I can't stand the temperature here. I got used to it after a long time and felt good. "
