"This young man is really handsome."
"Like a movie star."
"Yes, yes, like that Little Li Feidao." An old lady was standing on the stone steps at the door, looking at Li Wei Jin and smiling with her gapped front teeth exposed.
Xiao Qi: ...When was the TV series "Little Li Flying Dagger" aired? She probably wasn't even born when it aired yet.
Li Weijin is accustomed to all kinds of attention and does not feel uncomfortable at all.
He was handsome since he was young. In kindergarten, he was surrounded by his classmates, teachers, parents, and passersby...
But Xiaoqi felt very uncomfortable.
So embarrassing~(@^_^@)~.
I finally got used to the atmosphere in the village and felt that the uncles and aunts in the village were not that scary, but now Li Wei Jin is here.
Xiao Qi found it difficult to remain calm in the face of everyone's teasing.
"This is?"
When Su Youfu saw the young man, who was prettier than his daughter, and then looked at his daughter, who seemed inexplicably majestic after returning from college and whose face was now blushing, he felt as if his feet had been hit by his own hoe, and it hurt so much.
"Dad, he's my college classmate, Li Weijin."
Sheng Juanhua also came out, and she was very confused. The secretary and the village chief came to her house, as well as the director of the county government. They said they were sending a young man to stay at her house for two days because the accommodation at the brigade headquarters was inconvenient.
Sheng Juanhua wanted to say that it’s not convenient at my house, but she looked up and saw the young man at the door.
Oh my! Wow, I've never seen such a handsome guy before. He's so good-looking.
Sheng Juanhua wasn't bragging, she was considered a village beauty in their village, and her daughter, Xiaoqi, had been pretty since she was little, but compared to this young man, honestly speaking, she couldn't compare...
I couldn't utter the words "it's inconvenient" for a long time.
I was relieved to see my daughter and the child's father come back.
Then he took another breath.
This person is actually someone my daughter knows, and he came to see her specially.
College classmates, what kind of college classmates would come to install a signal tower just because your home has no signal? That thing is so expensive. Even the leaders of the county government came along... Looking at how much the leaders bent down, Sheng Juanhua could feel that it must not be cheap.
Last night, the villagers were chatting and bragging, thinking that installing a signal tower would cost several million, at least two million. How could there be such a stupid company? With so much money, they could do anything. The interest from putting it in the bank would be enough to live on for a lifetime.
And then someone really came today.
He is also a college classmate of Su Quezi's daughter. From what he said, this base station was built to provide a signal for Su Quezi's daughter's mobile phone so that she can be contacted... This, that, he is too rich.
It was obvious at first glance that the man was interesting, and he even came to the door. However, this guy was too handsome, so handsome and so rich, that everyone felt a sense of regret.
Those who have given birth to daughters also think that they should have given their daughters a good education and let them go to college. You see, these college students are different. The partners they find are really good.
Although everyone said they were envious of Zhang Juan's boyfriend who gave her a car, they still said a lot of unpleasant things behind her back. What's so good about finding a man who is older than your father?
But the one in front of me, not only do I envy him with my mouth, I envy him in my heart too.
Just as Xiao Qi was wondering how to introduce her to her parents, a mechanical voice in her head suddenly rang out: "The host has found an excellent partner, has a positive influence on those around them, has inspired them to learn, and has brought positive energy to society. The system has been unlocked and upgraded to the eleventh level. The host will receive 1.1 yuan for every step he takes, capped at 30,000 steps per day."
Xiao Qi: ...
Can finding a partner bring positive energy to social progress?
So many people praised her for her excellence last night, but it seems like they were just paying lip service.
Seeing Li Weijin now, he actually really praised him. Finding a good partner can motivate everyone to send their children to school???
Xiao Qi just felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She thought she was working hard and being excellent, but in the eyes of the villagers, marrying well was better than doing well...
Finally, the people who were watching the excitement were taken away by the secretary, village chief and county government leaders.
Xiaoqi closed the door to the wall courtyard.
The world has become a little quieter.
Xiao Qi looked at the bald Zizi and was a little puzzled: "Isn't Bao Guanjia with you?"
Originally they were going to be together, but he strongly refused, thinking that if he brought a housekeeper to Xiaoqi's house, Xiaoqi's parents would think he was immature, unstable, unreliable, etc...
So he came by himself.
Xiaoqi, I always feel that it is impossible. I wonder if the housekeeper is hiding in that corner? There is no signal here.
It’s really not easy.
Sheng Juanhua greeted the boy enthusiastically, "It's just right. You haven't eaten yet, let's eat together. Although it's just a home-cooked dish, it tastes pretty good."
Su Youfu didn't say anything, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He saw this young man and found him so handsome.
"Thank you, Auntie." Li Weijin washed his hands generously and came over to help serve the rice.
As a result, I saw him holding a bowl but couldn't find the rice cooker.
Xiao Qi: ...
"There are no electric rice cookers. We use wooden barrels to steam rice in my hometown," Xiaoqi explained.
Then they opened the big wooden barrel next to him, and white smoke came out of it, and the aroma of rice immediately overflowed.
Li Weijin was surprised. How could rice be cooked in a wooden barrel? Wouldn’t it leak?
Seeing that Zaizai looked naive, Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing. But it was the same when she went to Zaizai's house. There were all kinds of misunderstandings, so it was even now.
Xiaoqi's parents looked at each other. What kind of rich family did this child come from? He was very polite, but hadn't he ever seen rice steamed in a wooden barrel?
After dinner, Xiaoqi took Li Weijin for a stroll at the end of the village water in the afternoon.
The scenery over there is very beautiful, and Xiaoqi likes to go there when he is in a bad mood.
By the way, take him to the vegetable garden to chop some vegetables.
These vegetables were grown by my uncle, who gave them gifts yesterday: a pack of cigarettes and a shirt. My uncle was very happy and told them to pick the vegetables from the garden if they wanted to eat them.
It was quite hot in the afternoon. Li Wei Jin was wearing a white sports suit and a black baseball cap on his head. He was about 182 cm tall, and with his thick-soled sneakers, he was almost 186 cm tall.
Xiaoqi wore his old cloth shoes. He was about 167cm tall. Because he was accompanying Li Weijin, he did not wear the military training uniform he wore this morning. He changed into a red fleece sports sweatshirt and jeans.
Wearing a straw hat.
Gumula Village is at a high altitude and the sunlight is still very strong.
When the villagers saw the college student taking her classmates to the vegetable field, they wanted to make some jokes, but the two of them were too beautiful and too serious. Walking on the road in their village was like being in a movie. An old man came towards them with his trouser legs rolled up, and they were too embarrassed to say hello. It was Xiaoqi who called out "Hello, Uncle".
The old man nodded a little flattered, his lips split to his ears from laughing, revealing a row of uneven yellow teeth.
Xiaoqi found that she always felt burdened and pressured when greeting people in the village because she could never remember their seniority. Now she realizes that it’s actually no big deal. You can take the initiative to call out to them, and it doesn’t matter if you call them the wrong way. Uncle, aunt, or uncle, probably no one will mind. Just be polite.
Xiaoqi asked Zaizai to help carry the basket while she took the knife.
Walk along the stream at the entrance, you will first pass an arch bridge. After crossing the arch bridge, you can see a forest on the opposite side and a small house under the forest.
"Who lives in such a small house?" Li Weijin asked curiously.
"Grandpa Land."
When I got there, I found a rough stone sculpture inside. In front of the stone sculpture was a stone table, the table top was soaked with candle oil, and there was an incense holder on the stone table with a few burning incense sticks on it.
"Every village has this, a small land temple. Whenever there's something going on at home, or during festivals, people come here to worship and pray for the gods to bless everyone."
Li Weijin had no exposure to these kinds of education about ghosts and gods since childhood, so he found it quite novel.
Following Xiaoqi's example, he took out nine incense sticks, inserted three incense sticks into the incense holder in front of the God of Land, and bowed. Then he inserted three incense sticks on each side of the door, and bowed.
Then they left the land temple together.
"Can the wish be fulfilled like this? Will the God of Land be very busy to fulfill the wishes of the whole village? What if someone makes a wish that is difficult to fulfill? Or what if someone from outside comes to make a wish?" Li Weijin asked curiously.
"It's just a psychological sustenance. If it comes true, the villagers will bring a lot of delicious food to put it here, which is called fulfilling the vow. After that, they will go back and eat it themselves."
When they got here, the two walked side by side on the stone road covered with fallen leaves.
After walking for a while, it was like walking through a dense forest. Suddenly, a wide open area appeared in front of our eyes. The clouds seemed to be at our feet, and below us were terraced fields, densely packed and extending downwards.
In winter, the rice is harvested, leaving only weeds, a sea of black and yellow, giving a sense of desolation.
Even though Li Wei Jin had been to many places and seen many scenic spots, he was still shocked by the scenery before him.
It’s hard to imagine how the clouds could float towards you one by one, right under your feet.
Because the altitude of Gumula Village is particularly high, coupled with this terrain, it forms a unique landscape.
It seemed that no one dared to speak loudly, for fear of scaring the clouds away.
There is a small stream on the side of the road. The water in the stream is filled with clean mud, sand and stones, and there are some aquatic plants on both sides.
Xiao Qi reached in and grabbed a handful of mud and sand, then pushed it aside and found three or four small shells inside.
The kid was shocked.
Are there shells this small? Are they alive? They can be picked up so easily.
"When we were little, we often came here to collect these small shells. We could catch a big bowl in an afternoon. We would go home and stir-fry them and eat them. They were delicious. We could also make soup with them. They were very fresh."
Gumula Village is very poor and remote, but the environment is very good because of this. Sometimes when you turn over the stones by the stream, you can see giant salamanders as long as your palm.
Zizi also reached into the water and grabbed a handful of mud and sand. He pushed it aside and found that there were indeed small shells. The meat was sticking out of them, but it retracted when his hand touched it.
It's amazing.
"The water is so cold, are you cold?" Zizi washed his hands, reached out and grabbed Xiaoqi's hand, then held her hand and continued walking forward...
The two cold hands warmed up in a moment.
The further they walked, the narrower the road became, because they had reached a vegetable field. There was no stone road, only a dirt road, and the grass on both sides gradually grew to the middle of the road.
Suddenly, there was a "puff" sound, and the cub was startled and held on tighter.
A colorful pheasant suddenly flew out from the roadside not far away. I watched the pheasant flap its wings and fly away in a hurry.
Li Weijin: ...
He felt amazing.
Then Xiao Qi took the knife and waved it a few times in the bushes.
"What's wrong?"
"See if they're laying eggs. Sometimes you can get pheasant eggs if you're lucky, but there might be snakes, so don't reach out."
When Zizi heard the word snake, his face turned slightly pale.
Fortunately, there were no snakes or eggs in the grass. It was probably just a pheasant resting in the grass.
After walking for a while, we finally arrived at our destination, Uncle Xiaoqi's vegetable garden. Part of the land belonged to Xiaoqi's family. They hadn't planted any crops in the past six months, so they gave it to Uncle to plant.
Xiaoqi chopped the vegetables and Zaizai helped put them in the basket.
The cooperation is quite good.
Zizi thinks it’s no wonder that there is no need for signal here. It’s like a paradise on earth. It’s so interesting.
Xiaoqi used to think that Gumula Village was backward, poor, and full of inconveniences. But after returning from university this time, he found that his hometown was really beautiful. He felt different and at ease coming back, as if the kite was finally put into the box and he no longer had to worry about the string breaking.
After they picked the vegetables, Xiaoqi carried the basket, and Zizi felt embarrassed that he couldn't help at all, so he held two large cabbages in his hands, looking very excited.
It turns out that Chinese cabbages are so big. I feel like one can be eaten for several days.
When Su Youfu saw his daughter carrying a basket full of vegetables with ease, followed by a young man holding two large cabbages...
I always feel that this guy is a little weak. He is holding two vegetables and smiling so beautifully. No, he is so silly...
After dinner in the evening, it soon became dark.
It is really dark in the countryside, especially dark. Even the dim street lights are just a little embellishment in the darkness.
Then the embarrassing thing happened. No matter how good-looking a guy is, he still has to poop.
In fact, Zaizai had been holding it in for a whole day. He slept on the third floor of Xiaoqi's house at night, but after wandering around for a long time and looking up and down, he couldn't find the bathroom, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Then it got dark and I finally couldn't bear it anymore.
When Xiaoqi heard Zizi asking him awkwardly where the bathroom was, he also had a look of ￣□￣｜｜ on his face.
I took a stick and took him to the toilet in the backyard...an open-air dry toilet.
There is shelter on all sides, but basically nothing on top.
"What's the stick for?" he said shyly, changing the subject.
I was worried there might be snakes in the grass, so I knocked on them, but there shouldn't be any in the winter, so just in case.
Cub: ...
When he saw that the small room was actually the toilet, he was shocked again.
He thought it was a storage room, and it was covered on all sides with a thatched roof, just like an open air room. But when he went inside, he was even more shocked. It was two large wooden boards placed on a large barrel?
I was worried that I would fall.
And it was so cold at night, with a cold wind blowing.
Zizi felt extremely ashamed to ask Xiaoqi to accompany him to the toilet.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi took him upstairs. Although he was waiting for him, he was quite far away.
Zizi felt that he really couldn't poop in this environment.
Xiaoqi was also helpless. He looked up at the sky, which was full of stars.
The baby smelled the poop in the toilet and looked up helplessly, and could see the stars. The sky was full of stars. It was the first time he knew that he could enjoy the moon while taking a shit. He could also hear the accompaniment of various insects, as if they were calling "Thinking Cliff...Thinking Cliff..."
He felt that this was the most unforgettable trip to the toilet in his life.
