Below: New villagers are exercising in the morning of Chalu

In the summer, the orange tree just hung fruit.

The life of Tieni Village started very early. Get up at 5:20. After washing and simple cleaning, just after 6 o'clock, the young people met in the orchard and came to a "Chalu" built by themselves. , The most suitable for morning exercise and early tea.

Tea Lu indoor and outdoor

Two Chalu, as if it was the "2 rooms and 2 halls" in 9 acres of orchards. Inside, there is also a small compartment. Two or three people sit in it, meditation and tea are suitable.

▲

They are Chalu 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0

Architectural components are all prefabricated bamboo products. They can be assembled directly to the scene. Three or five new and old villagers. As long as the person has a screwdriver, it is completed for 5 days at the scene.

This fast -built ecological building, Shi Guoping has spent nearly three years of research and development, and is still iterating. Now it is version 3.5.

Fan Fan (left) and Tengteng (right) prepare for the morning tea table

Fan Fan, 33 years old, was 33 years old, the head of the community, once lived in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

When she started her business in Shanghai, her rental office was in the same building as Shi Guoping Shanghai's office in the same building. Come to the village for the first time 4 and a half years ago, she decided to settle here, because she admired "Teacher Shi is behind the revitalization of the countryside, there are many fundamental thinking about life."

Tea table

Recently, the village had just received lotus in the village, and Fan Fan and the community partners held a lotus tea party. In the Chalu, the tea will start in the early morning. With the sunrise, everyone relaxes the tea fragrance, and then opens a day of life.

During the period, the flower arrangement of the settings from Guangzhou came to the village, and he also improvised the plant material in the orchard. The gap between the belly under the belly of the tea soup, and the new creation was taken care of.

For almost 5 years in the village, Fan Fan feels that his biggest change is, "The previous life was squeezed in the work and trivial matters very small. Go to the river to take a walk, insert wild flowers, and feel that you are really living. "

Living in the field, farming is an essential skill for everyone

Overlooking in the field

Leave the orchard and come to the 128 acres of fields bought together by the community partners.

▲

Tianye Cottage and Details

Seven or eight community partners live here. One person and one room, both bedrooms and work rooms, less than 10 square meters, are full of hand -decorated with natural materials.

The rooms are connected in series, which are the entire row of corridors, and it is also the place where everyone cooks and eats, "brainstorming". A few plain paper, hanging on the bamboo frame, is a wall rising in the field.

This field hut is the latest version of 2022 made by the new villagers themselves.

Fang Wen was cleaned in the corridor outside the wooden house

Five years ago, Shi Guoping's friend Fang Wen lived in the first -generation container for the first time. I slept well. "

Now, the 10 partners of Fang Wen and the community have moved the Japanese users into the small wooden house in the field. After the field office, wash the toilets together, take melon sheds, take turns to cook, and live on the field every day. Work.

During the Shanghai epidemic this year, many Shanghai friends in Fang Wen had to start planting vegetables at home, and gradually understood that she was "successful in Shanghai entrepreneurship, but chose to settle in the village", and even yearn for her choice.

When building a wooden house gap, Fang Wen and his partners went to the field to shoot a set of "blockbusters"

In this field, exploring how to build a "zero carbon community" is the next goal of Fangwen and partners.

Today, there are more than 50 "new villagers" who have moved from the city to Tieni Village like Fan Fan. All of this originates from 2017, an invitation received by architect Shi Guoping.

Shi Guoping accepts an interview

In 2017, Shi Guoping, who had just participated in the construction of Mingyue Village Township, Pujiang County, received an invitation from the Government of Xilai Town, Pujiang County, 20 kilometers away: Can you make an overall development plan for Tieni Village in Xilai Town?

Tieniu Village overlooks (typical West Sichuan forest plate)

From Chengdu for 1 hour and 15 minutes, he entered Tieniu Village, Xilai Town, Pujiang County. This ordinary western Sichuan countryside has an area of ​​9.6 square kilometers, which is exactly one -million yuan in China's land area. The 9,900 acres of citrus orchard is divided into more than 1,000 acres of fish ponds. The entire village came to the house of 1,000 households, and some of them were preparing to move to the newly repaired house in the village. The old villagers who stayed in the village were mainly 50 and 60, and 70%were citrus camps.

Because of the planting of a single species for many years, the soil has become more barren and the biological chain is damaged. Villagers need to continue to take medicine to apply chemical fertilizer to maintain citrus production. The ponds are also polluted because of a large amount of farming.

Shi Guoping and the team discussed planning and design in the village

Shi Guoping took the team and was stationed into the village. With the support of the local government, some houses in the village were transformed into some houses and town in the village into youth apartments, canteens, workstations, and community centers, and began to investigate the entire village planning.

Shi Guoping is 50 years old. He is thin and plain, and he is used to thinking about the time of thinking. When he appeared at the end of the village, no matter the new and old villagers, he would welcome a few words to talk to him. "Under the orange tree, there are more weeds?" We wrapped new lotus leaf tea, should we try it? "...

Mingyue Village

Ten years ago, Shi Guoping began to contact the countryside. His hometown was in a small county in Pingjiang, Hunan Province. He was admitted to the provincial capital all the way to Shenzhen. He studied for a master's degree in architecture in the University of California, Los Angeles, and returned to Shanghai to start a business. Every 10 years, he changed to a city.

Until 2013, in the upsurge of rural homestays, he took over the design tasks of the tourist reception center of Mingyue Village in Pujiang County in the office of Shanghai in Shanghai. He entered the village.

After changing a house, he stayed again and made the overall planning of Mingyue Village. After 5 years, Mingyue Village changed from a municipal poverty -stricken village to a small civilized village in the country.

Shi Guoping

When I arrived at Tieniu Village, Shi Guoping wanted to do different things. "Before the countryside was a project, Party A and Party B's relationship; when I arrived at Tieniu Village, family, friends, and myself, they were devoted to this village and experimented together to experiment with the experiments together. How to really live in the countryside. "

The core of the planning of Tieniu Village is "farm -style forest plate", mainly citrus orchard.

The first step is to repair the ecological environment. Since 2021, the new villagers have rented 9 acres of citrus gardens to challenge ecological planting without chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

▲

New and old villagers harvest together

The post -80s farmers who have been planted in Xinjiang have come to the elderly, and the old villagers Zhou, the old villager who planted for decades, were the consultants. They started with community partners from scratch to apply biological fertilizers to improve the soil with enzymes to prevent diseases and insect pests.

"In the beginning, the villagers did not believe that sweet -oriented, it was absolutely impossible for not taking medicine. What should I do if the worm comes?"

In the first year of the experiment, I caught up with the "big year" of citrus. In February this year, more than 600 orange trees were harvested.

Ecological diversity plan

Under the orange forest, there is a space, planting some nitrogen -fixed crops to make the soil more fat, introduce trees, and the biodiversity becomes rich. Because the pond no longer receives the pollution of chemical fertilizers, it has gradually recovered.

This year, the ecological planting in the village is planned to expand from 9 acres to 36 acres.

"I hope to slowly repair that the countryside can return to the kind of ecological environment 40 years ago."

For a few days in Tieniu Village, we couldn't find a iconic "net red house" and inquired about Shi Guoping. He sighed, "The countryside really does not need to be demolished and built."

▲

Villagers' integration indoors

Those who landed in the village were originally a villager activity center. A two -story rough house was vacant for a long time. The three post -90s young architects took the task of building renovation, and the smallest was Li Xu in 1998.

▲

New and old villagers build together

After the design picture came out, they spent 90 days and shouted 10 new villagers, including architects, designers, and flower artists, plus 20 experienced old workers in the local area, including many years of concreters and hydropower workers. The current community integration center. In the soft outfit of the room, lamps and furniture are directly processed and assembled with waste wood.

Let the local villagers join in, use local craftsmanship, local materials -are the most important part of this rural architectural experiment, because it "condenses people's hearts."

▲

Rural Research Institute building room

Another transformation of the community in the office of the urban and rural research institute is the former site of the village committee. Here, a large amount of waste can be reused, and even the aging household appliances, refrigerators, and dryers have a new place for use. The idle wood and old doors and windows are re -turned into architectural materials.

There is a consensus in the community that there is nothing in the countryside. "This is an experiment of the real ecological building."

▲

Shi Guoping and young architects at the scene

Shi Guoping's most surprising thing is that several young architects originally only came from Shanghai to the field. The three -month construction period was planned to return, but in the end they chose to stay.

One of the young people told him privately that, here, from the creativeness of the drawing to the final implementation, they were completed with the workers. When I think of working back to the city, it is more like a "screw", I decisively choose to stay, and I want to cover more houses by myself. ▲

Iron Mother's Restaurant

The gourmet craftsmanship of the old villagers was also dug out by the community partners.

In recent years, the whole village planning survey should be known to understand the actual needs of the villagers. Shi Guoping and his partners often turn in the village. Many households have eaten meals. Chicken, Douhua ...

In 2020, the new and old villagers jointly held a life festival. Community partners invited their mothers. One dish was made, and a table was quickly produced, just like a "hundred banquet".

After this meal, everyone felt that it was better to let the mothers open a restaurant together, and added a job to mothers who did not have a fixed source of income.

In the orchard, the first farmhouse "Tie Niuzhai" opened in the late 1990s, but with the upgrading of rural cultural tourism, it gradually could not attract tourists. It has been lonely for a long time. On this basis, everyone has made simple buildings. Transformation.

▲

Kitchen and dishes

The sticky post -80s, with the four local "iron cows", visited the restaurants in various places to taste food and develop dishes together.

Jianzhang was a graduate of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and was engaged in design in Tencent. In 2015, he visited Mingyue Village to visit his friend Shi Guoping when he met in Shanghai to start a business. He was associated with the countryside.

He originally liked food. In the village, he realized "from time to time". "If you can make and solve it by yourself, you will not buy it. This is a great change in returning to the rural life."

Because the current life is simple and pure, even as a foodie, he has lost more than 20 pounds, which is healthier and stronger.

The third round of Tieniu Night Talk, held at the villagers' integration center

There are also people in the community who specialize in community integration, open the rural weekend classrooms, organize iron cow night talks, and bring new and old villagers to chat together. Life festivals and festivals will be held together.

"It is very difficult to contact the relationship between new and old villagers, but it is also the most important thing."

▲

Collective farming

Community partners range from 60 to 00, and they have been born in the "village 2nd generation". Everyone's background, professional, age, and experience are different. Everyone gathered together and developed a lot of lifestyle in nature.

Everyone will share their skills. For example, Shi Guoping's wife is particularly good at handicraft and food; the science of the farming group will patiently bring the "agricultural white" from many cities, starting with a clean dish together; People are particularly good at scanning. This is also an important skill in the countryside, because no one "invites aunt" ...

"In the process of sharing and learning together, we have richer our lives together. This is also a place where rural life is particularly attractive to urban people."

"Everyone has a rare tolerance and sincerity."

"Even the Chengdu area outside the 1 -hour drive goes very little, and I don’t feel lonely, and it is tedious."

Relaxing naturally, many new hobbies naturally happened.

Music of Dog Tail Cao: Children of McQueena -Children of McQueena

Fan Fan never thought he would write a song. In the second year of the village, one night after eating, she took a walk by the river. Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and there was a melody in her mind. Sing all the way, I recorded it with my mobile phone when I came back. "

There is also a song "Song of Dog's Tail" in the community. When everyone watched the dog's grass growing in the field, the little friends created together.

In the field, we must also set the plates

The expenses of life in the village are not large, and they eat it: Everyone has transformed it into a youth apartment. Every day, they eat their own vegetables and community partners to cook.

When we ask everyone, the village's biggest change in ourselves, "simple and regular life", "refreshing God" is the answer to the most harvest.

New villagers Ning Ning (left) Test sweetness before citrus is completely mature

Ningning, 33, worked in Alibaba, Hangzhou for 5 years. Later, he went to Shanghai to start a business for 5 years and made an environmentally friendly fashion brand, but he always felt that the environmental protection cause in the city was not thorough enough. At that time, she often went to the countryside to visit her friend Fan Fan.

The same period when the epidemic began in 2020, perhaps because of long -term excessive overtime, sleeping late and late, she experienced a immune system disease, which became "the last straw", so she decided to move to Tieni Village to settle and "put it for the settlement of Tieni Village. Plant them into the soil in the countryside and grow again. "

Now, the body has already recovered. When we saw her in the village, she squatted in the courtyard hand -painted exhibition board. In the hot summer, the yard does not open the air conditioner, and everyone only focuses on the work in hand. She said: "Many times the emotional problems are dragged down by the body and energy, and the simplest every day to live a good life can already bring me a huge change."

Regarding the future, Ning Ning also hopes to pick up her mother and live in the village.

The natural environment in the village

There are inconveniences in rural life.

For example, there is only a health center in the countryside, and the medical conditions are general. If the body is small, you still need to drive to the county for half an hour. If you are a bigger health check, you need to drive to Chengdu.

The courier in the village will not be delivered to the doorstep, and the courier points in the town will be taken. The city youth who returned home said that at first it was still a little uncomfortable.

The most questioned, and education.

Shi Guoping said that he "took 7 and a half years to finally decide to receive the child to the village, and this decision was difficult."

Just transferred to the town, the 13 -year -old boss this year was almost countdown. "But less than two semesters, not only did their studies catch up, life became more self -care, but also became a member of our community band."

Shi Guoping said, "We return this time to the countryside, return to nature and life, and treat it as a" Wanli Road, read a lot of books ", and read countless journey. In addition to the school education, the children follow the new and old villagers. Children, participate in daily labor, re -meet friends, and link to unknown land, this is also the most important study. "

New villagers in the community

Recently, there is a popular words, "In the big era, we comforted us in small places." Some people predicted that China's development in the next 10 years is in the countryside.

We asked this group of new rural youths. If there are also the first steps of peers who want to go to rural life, what suggestions?

To sum up, there are a few of them:

First, it is very important to find peers with the same values ​​and ideals;

Second, we must remind yourself that the countryside is not a reason to escape the city. Is it ready for hard work and frugality? Can you not lie down?

Third, it is also the most important, always keep humility and awe for nature and others.
