A girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old came out. She held two glasses of water and handed it to Su Rui and Su ChiYan. There was a little timid feeling in her eyes.
After all, few outsiders came to this small mountain village. Su Rui and his colleagues came here by mistake under extremely coincidental circumstances.
"Uncle, where are we?" Su Rui asked while drinking water.
"This is shanshangzhuang." The uncle laughed and said, "because the village has been on the mountain, it was called a mountain villa just a few decades ago, so it has been called down."
"Shanshangzhuang." Su Rui chewed the name, and then looked at the surrounding mountains: "it's also vivid."
If he hadn't taken the wrong way, Su Rui really didn't know that there was such a comfortable mountain village so close to the capital.
Smoke curls, birds sing, and even the sky is much bluer than the capital city.
"Where are you from?" The uncle asked.
"We came from the capital. We walked all night for about ten hours and got lost. We didn't know how to get here." Su Rui laughed.
Through the conversation, Su Rui learned that the uncle, surnamed Zhao, has lived in this mountain villa for generations. The eldest son and daughter have gone out to work, and the youngest daughter, Tingting, is only in high school. She studies at the school in the town on weekdays, and it's the weekend to go home today.
This shanshangzhuang is indeed the boundary of Yanbei province. Although it is very close to the capital, due to the inconvenient transportation, it has become a forgotten corner of developed cities. From here to the edge of the capital, it is only two hours' drive, but it seems to be two worlds.
There is no traffic here, but there are beautiful mountains and rivers. It seems that the temperament of these mountains and rivers is different from that of the capital.
Su Rui and Su ChiYan thought it was wonderful.
"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Uncle Zhao said with a smile, "just eat some in our house."
Uncle was very enthusiastic, so Su Rui and Su ChiYan agreed with a smile.
After drinking several glasses of water, they also felt that they had recovered a lot.
Maybe it's similar to "people feel refreshed when they have a happy event". Su ChiYan didn't sleep all night and was not very sleepy.
Aunt has prepared the rice. Su Rui is not picky about the simplest pickled vegetables, porridge and steamed bread, and Su ChiYan actually feels extremely sweet.
For her, this experience is very rare.
Tingting was a little restrained and hardly spoke. Su ChiYan actively asked, "Tingting, which university do you want to enter in the future?"
"I want to go to a school in the capital." Tingting said.
It's not far from the capital, but she has never been to that city since she was born. Tingting only saw everything about that super city in books.
"Oh, don't think about it. The school in the capital is so difficult to take the exam. It's ok if you can't pass the exam. Go out and work with your brother and sister." Uncle Zhao said.
Tingting's eyes flashed a touch of stubbornness: "I must be able to pass the exam."
In fact, she is only a senior one now, and there are still two years to go before the college entrance examination. According to Uncle Zhao, xiaonizi studies very well. She has been the first in the whole school year since junior high school. However, there will be a big gap between the teaching quality of middle schools in the town and that in big cities. She may only be admitted to oneortwo undergraduate courses a year. If she wants to be admitted to a good university in the capital, Tingting has to work hard from now on.
"I'll have someone send you some reference books later." Su Rui said with a smile that he really likes such aspiring children.
In the mountain village, many people still don't realize the importance of reading and feel that it's no problem to work all their life, but being able to arm themselves with knowledge will always bring many different changes to life unconsciously.
"Thank you, brother." Tingting said.
"What are you shouting about? Uncle." Lao Zhao said with a smile.
Although he said that he would let his daughter work after graduation, every time he mentioned that the little girl studied well, he still looked proud.
It was a joy from the heart, which could not be dissolved in the eyes.
Su Rui laughed, "shout anything. Tingting calls my brother, which means I'm still very young."
The whole family laughed.
Su Rui pointed to the scattered houses nearby and said, "Uncle Zhao, why do I think these houses don't look like inhabited? Are there fewer and fewer people in the village?"
Speaking of this, Lao Zhao sighed: "Alas, yes, after all, this is just a small mountain village. There are only more than 100 households in total. Everyone wants to go outside. Many old villagers go out to work and never come back... They don't even come back for the Spring Festival."
Su Rui nodded. After all, living in the mountains is too inconvenient. He can also understand the practices of these villagers. However, with the acceleration of urbanization, many ancient villages are destined to face the situation of "extinction", which is not clear whether it is good or bad.
However, from Uncle Zhao's tone, there are obviously some sentimental meanings in it.
"By the way, uncle, if we go back to the capital, how should we go back?" Su Rui asked.
"You have to walk for an hour, then wait for the bus to the town, and then go from the town to the county, where there is a shuttle bus to the capital." Uncle Zhao said.
"So complicated?" Hearing this, Su Rui couldn't help but look a little difficult.
"It's actually a little more complicated."
Tingting said, "if you want to go to the town, there is only one bus every day, which is at six o'clock in the morning. If you miss it, you have to wait until tomorrow. Moreover, when you get to the town, you have to transfer to the county seat, and the county seat also has to take a bus to the capital every two days."
"What?" Even Su ChiYan was a little surprised.
To tell the truth, they rarely have this so-called opportunity to go deep into the countryside. They think that although this place is in the mountains, it is very close to the capital. However, the degree of traffic congestion here is still beyond Su Rui and Su ChiYan's imagination.
The two of them looked at each other and said, "I think we'd better go back."
As soon as he said this, Su ChiYan's deep sense of expectation rose again.
She just doesn't want to go back. In fact, it doesn't matter if the mountain village is blocked any more. At least Su Rui is next to her. As long as she is so simple to accompany, Su ChiYan can feel happy and warm in her heart.
"Well, I think so." Su ChiYan said with a smile, "we can rest for a day, and then we'll go back tomorrow."
Su Rui nodded, "send a text message to your family."
Su ChiYan immediately took out her mobile phone, but when typing, she hesitated: "just, we said we were lost, can they believe it?"
This pair of young men and women already have some unclear relationships, and with Su Rui's sense of direction, it is almost impossible to get lost, unless deliberately.
And lost all night? It's not that there is no signal on the mobile phone. You have to wait for more than ten hours to contact home?
It's just trying to cover up!
Su Rui heard it and immediately reacted. He coughed softly twice: "in fact, it doesn't matter whether you send this message or not. After all, we didn't go back last night and didn't ask at home."
Everyone's heart is like a mirror. They are all smart people, who can see through without telling.
"I see." Su ChiYan nodded, then put away his mobile phone and said with a smile, "this is just right."
At this time, Tingting suddenly said, "brother and sister, are you lovers?"
This question immediately made the atmosphere of the scene silent.
Su ChiYan's pretty face immediately became red, and Su Rui didn't know how to answer.
After more than ten seconds, Su ChiYan replied, "no, he is my brother."
This is a very clever answer. Su Rui said directly and unhappily, "are you sure what you said is the truth?"
"Yes, you are younger than me." Su ChiYan blinked proudly.
Su Rui replied impolitely, "so what? It means you are older than me."
Hearing the quarrel between the two people, the Zhao family began to laugh.
They were all very enthusiastic. After eating breakfast, they took the initiative to clean up a room for them. Although it was a mountain village, the room was also clean and tidy, which would not bring any sense of simplicity.
"Do you want us to sleep in a bed?" Su ChiYan asked.
Su Rui looked at it and shook his head. "Obviously, people treat us as a couple, and there seems to be no other empty room in their family."
"Couple?" Hearing Su Rui's words, Su ChiYan's pretty face immediately turned red. However, there was a faint expectation in her heart for what would happen next.
She felt a little sorry again.
After all, tomorrow morning, they may start again. This day's time together is too short. If we extend the time together in this mountain village to a month, even a year, I believe Su ChiYan won't feel any problem.
However, Su ChiYan can only think about it, but from now on, this small mountain village will have another and more important significance for Su ChiYan.
This is the memory of Su ChiYan and Su Rui, which is her private collection.
The same sentence - mountains and seas cannot be leveled.
In fact, uncle Zhao's family conditions are quite good. His son and daughter work outside and send money back every month. They are completely carefree.
Today, Su Rui and Su ChiYan came home. Uncle Zhao also killed a chicken, then put on a big iron pot and burned it with the firewood he had just chopped in the morning.
Su Rui was also polite. He rubbed his hands on one side and said with a smile, "this is an authentic stewed rooster with firewood. Blazing smoke, you have a blessing in the mouth."
"Thank uncle Zhao." Su ChiYan took a deep breath from the gap of the pot cover, and a hint of intoxication appeared on his pretty face.
