After walking around a mountain, I finally saw some farmhouses on the hillside and at the foot of the mountain. It was already noon. Smoke was emitting from the chimney, and cattle and dogs barked constantly.
The old man's house is at the foot of the mountain. There is a large yard in front of the door. The yard is surrounded by a low wall made of soil. In the yard, a group of chickens and ducks are pecking. There is a large tile roofed house. Next to the house are pigsty and cattle pen.
all kinds of soil and cow manure are mixed together. Is this the taste of nature?
Bai Yehan and ye Xiaoxiao follow into the yard.
A two or three-year-old girl came out of the room, dressed in a big red coat and a tiger head cap, shouting, "Grandpa and dad are back? Grandpa, Dad
The old man put the hare in front of her and said, "there are rabbits to eat at night!"
The little girl stared at the two strangers and hid behind the young man.
The young man said with a smile, "Nini is not afraid. This is our guest. Go and ask her mother to bring out a basin of water to wash the faces and hands of the two guests."
Shaking her chubby body, the little girl climbed over the threshold and cried, "here comes the guest, mom, here comes the guest."
The old man put the rabbit in the yard, took off his boots and put away his shotgun.
A young woman came out of the room with a basin of hot water. She was stunned when she saw two strangers.
The young man said, "they are from the city. They lost their way in the mountains, so they came back with us." then he introduced them to Bai Yehan, "this is my daughter-in-law, ARU."
"Oh, is that so?" A Ru then smiles and puts a basin of hot water on the stone table in the yard, "come and wash, your clothes are dirty too."
Bai Yehan and ye Xiaoxiao wash their faces with hot water and feel more comfortable.
Aru found two sets of clothes for them, "we mountain people don't have any good clothes, just this coarse cloth clothes, you change your clothes, and I'll wash them for you later."
Aru's enthusiasm made Ye Xiaoxiao very embarrassed, "sister Aru, it's really hard to give you trouble, isn't it? This dress... "
In fact, this is a good dress that they usually can't bear to wear. Aru said, "if you don't like it, put it on? This cotton padded jacket belongs to me, and this one belongs to Nini and her father. They've all been washed. Your clothes are torn, and they're not warm. "
Ye Xiaoxiao is embarrassed, "I don't mean that, sister-in-law, thank you. I'm just afraid I'll give you too much trouble."
"It's OK. We mountain people seldom come to our guests. You can live here for a few days and let him take you when you have a car to the countryside." Ah Ru said, and went to change two pots of hot water, to wipe their bodies, let them go to the room, put on their clothes.
Bai Yehan and ye Xiaoxiao are in the same room. They want to change clothes. Some days they are not together. They all feel a little shy. Bai Yehan turns his back and goes to the window and stands, "you change first? I don't look at you. "
Ye Xiaoxiao took off her clothes, wiped her body with a hot towel and put on her clothes
Bai Yehan turns around. Ye Xiaoxiao, dressed as a village girl, still can't hide her beauty and noble spirit. She has a special flavor. "You look good in this dress."
"Ah?" There is a mirror covered with dust in the room. Ye Xiaoxiao goes to take a look at it. Is it OK?
Bai Yehan took off his overcoat, took off his sweater, and left a shirt. He wiped it with a towel and put on his clothes. He often wore such clothes when he was a child. He didn't feel uncomfortable, but he was more kind.
"You look good in it, too." Ye Xiaoxiao praised from the heart.
They went out of the room and poured out two pots of hot water. Aru came out and took the basin in their hands. "Give it to me. It's very well dressed."
"Yes, thank you." Bai Yehan sincerely expressed his gratitude and asked, "is it far from here to the countryside?"
Ah Ru said, "it's not very far, that is, it's hard to walk on the mountain road. It's less than an hour by tractor, and it takes two hours to walk."
"Oh," Bai Yehan wants to call Qin Mobei and ask him to come and answer, "can I borrow the phone to make a call?"
"Telephone?" Ah Ru said, "I have to go to the village committee. After dinner, I'll take you there."
"Oh, good." Bai Yehan understood that not everyone of them had mobile phones. Looking up, they could see that there were mountains all around, while Aru's village was scattered with some houses in a cave on the hillside.
Ah Ru said with a smile, "you have a rest. I'll cook for you."
Uncle Li and brother Li also changed their clothes, went back to the yard, made tea for them, took out a plate of fried melon seeds, and sat at the stone table to have a rest. Father and son didn't talk much, so they were a little shy.
Or brother Li was curious and asked, "are you all from big cities? Is it far from here? "
"Yes, we are from s City, away from here..." White night cold looked around, "should be far away?"Ye Xiaoxiao is also curious, "brother Li, have you lived here for generations? Have you ever thought of going out of the mountains? "
Brother Li said with a smile, "we are used to living here. My elder brother and sister-in-law work in the city and come back only once a year. They all say that it's easy to earn money outside, and many people in the village have gone out to work."
seeing that he is very responsible, he said, "have you ever thought of going out to find some work? Yes, I can help you
Brother Li looked at his house. "I have old and small families to take care of. I can't leave. In fact, it's very good. When I grow land and have leisure time, I go to the mountain to play some game. Although I can't afford enough food and clothing, I can also be self-sufficient. It's very good."
"Yes, it's good." Ye Xiaoxiao said to himself, it's so good here. The whole family live happily together. The men work outside, the women cook at home, wash clothes and take care of the children. At noon, they can come back to eat together. At night, someone can warm the quilt, eat vegetables, pick in the field, eat meat, kill a chicken and play game. How nice.
Unlike people in big cities, they have more money and a better life, but less humanity.
Smoke from the chimney, there are bursts of fragrance floating out, the children in the yard and chicken and duck chase together, contented.
Ah Ru poked her head out of the room, "I'm eating! Father and Feng, please call the guests in for dinner. "
Bai Yehan and ye Xiaoxiao came into the room. There were five or six dishes on the table, including meat, vegetables, kelp soup and, of course, rabbit meat which we just got back today.
Ah Ru filled them with rice and said, "there's nothing to eat. Just help yourself. I heard that people in your big cities like to drink soup, so I made some kelp soup. I hope it's still to your taste."
