It's a bit cold in the mountains.
The wind is cool.
But people in love are not afraid of the cold.
Li Wei Jin wrapped himself in Xiao Qi's mother's big cotton-padded jacket and sat on the rooftop of her house with Xiao Qi.
Why not cover Xiaoqi’s father… Because Xiaoqi’s father is short and his clothes are too small, while Xiaoqi’s mother is taller and stronger, and her cotton-padded jacket is also bigger.
This big cotton-padded coat was bought when I got married. It is considered a big item and cost more than 200 yuan. It is still a valuable item in Gumula Village now.
Li Weijin is a good-looking man. He can even look stylish in a floral cotton jacket. People who don’t know much about it might think it is the latest trend of the year. Maybe if he goes around the fashion week, he can even lead some fashion trends.
The buzz cut is also handsome, but now it is covered with a Lei Feng hat, the thick-skinned kind, revealing its face, which actually looks even better! !
The temperature in the village drops sharply at night and there is frost in the morning.
Eating watermelon around the fire sums up the climate of Gumula Village.
The two of them sat on the rooftop, enjoying the cool breeze and looking at the sky full of stars and the small crescent moon, feeling shy and embarrassed.
I don’t know what we talked about, but I remember that my palms were very warm, not cold at all.
Sheng Juanhua and Su Youfu felt mixed emotions.
The girl fell in love while she was still in school. After all, she was 18 years old. There were two or three 18-year-old girls and children in the village. They only got married when they reached the age.
After spending a day looking at the boy, the couple felt that he was so handsome and they felt so sorry for him. He must come from a very wealthy family. He seemed a little uninitiated, but he was really polite and well-behaved. He probably never did any housework at home, but he was very active in their home. It’s just that he can’t do anything... he is curious about everything... he has a good personality, and the couple didn’t feel that the other was superior.
Many city people who come to the village always act superior, or become particularly cocky if they have a little money. The couple felt that this was most obvious with Uncle Qi.
But the young man didn't have such feelings at all, not only towards his family, but also towards others. He was even polite to the old man with tattered trousers and mud on the hems.
How should I put it, he is very well-educated.
Neither the couple can do it. Their daughter used to be clumsy, but she has become much better since she went to college. How should I describe the feeling? It's different. Now when their daughter becomes serious, both the couple are afraid of her. Their daughter no longer feels as alienated from the people in the village as before, and she is very open and frank with them.
I don’t know if I learned it from this guy.
In short, this young man has excellent family education. The couple has never seen such a pleasing and impeccable child. The only problem is that this young man is pursuing their daughter, and they always feel empty in their hearts.
The young man was so outstanding that Sheng Juanhua and her husband tried to find out about his family background in a roundabout way. After hearing this, they were even more confused. What kind of family was this? Did he have a mine? How could they, who had nothing, be worthy of him?
The couple tossed and turned in bed, thinking that if they only considered their daughter as an individual, they felt that she was worthy of him. Their daughter was so outstanding, good in everything, but when it came to the family, they were the ones who were dragging them down from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff.
After watching the stars, Xiaoqi and Zaizai chatted about irrelevant things, then each put on headphones and listened to a Spanish tutorial together. It was hard to believe that they were sitting together on a pile of straw on the rooftop, braving the wind and the starry sky, in the cold, for half the night, learning Spanish.
Then go to bed separately.
There was a strong stale smell in the room, but the baby was very tired and slept until dawn without dreaming.
Xiaoqi also slept soundly, although he felt strange and a little happy in his heart, and it seemed that he was smiling in his dreams.
The next morning, Xiaoqi got up early and took his son to climb the mountain and dig bamboo shoots.
Xiaoqi still has to complete 30,000 steps every day, but if she runs in the village, the villagers will think she is a fool. It would be better for her to go for a walk in the mountains, where she can complete the steps and get some delicious food.
The cub was very excited to enter the mountains, like a Husky that had never seen the world, and was digging the soil happily.
I was so excited when I dug up a bamboo root that I wanted to take it home.
Xiaoqi: ...As long as you are happy.
The two of them wandered around in the mountains for a long time. They didn't dig many bamboo shoots, only five, but they did harvest two bamboo roots, a handful of wild flowers, and a bag of unknown wild fruits. They went home happily.
When he got home, Li Weijin was extremely hungry. Xiaoqi's mother had boiled eggs for him, and he ate three in one go. He had never imagined that boiled eggs could be so delicious...
Then take a shower and change clothes.
The kind where you fetch your own bath water.
Sheng Juanhua saw that the boy was not as strong as her daughter, and he could not lift a bucket of bath water, so he had to do it in two batches... She remembered seeing her daughter lift a full bucket with one hand yesterday.
After Xiao Qi finished taking a shower, she heard the kid next door calling her, "Sister Xiao Qi, there's a call for you."
Xiaoqi was still puzzled. She had a cell phone, and although the signal was not good, the phone could still work. Who knew that it was her neighbor's phone number that called her?
As a result, when Xiaoqi went to pick him up, he turned out to be the high school class monitor. The class said that all the classmates who went to college had returned for vacation, and there was nothing to do before the New Year, so they wanted everyone to get together.
They said they couldn't get through to Xiaoqi's phone, and finally found her neighbor's phone number. Maybe Xiaoqi brought her cell phone with her into the mountains that morning, and there really was no signal in the mountains. The cell phone in the village could still be dialed, but the signal was intermittent.
Xiaoqi was originally going to send Zaizai to the city after lunch. She was worried that Zaizai would get suffocated if she didn’t go to the city o(╯□╰)o.
Thinking that many of her classmates had done well in the college entrance examination, and that there were more than a dozen of them admitted to first-tier universities, she thought that they could meet and chat, gain some knowledge, and see what other schools were like, so she nodded and agreed.
"That's fine. You can bring your family. The address is the newly opened Yaduo Music Restaurant and Bar, near the city government, not far from our No. 1 Middle School. See you at 6 pm."
The squad leader politely hung up the phone.
After lunch, Li Wei Jin wanted to stay for another day, but it seemed awkward to do so. He came here under the pretext of installing a signal tower, and after it was installed, there would be a signal on the mountain, so there would not be no news at all. So he said goodbye politely.
Xiaoqi said he would attend a class reunion in the evening and would be back tomorrow.
My parents' hearts lurched.
"Then after you attend the class reunion, go visit your aunt. Your aunt thinks about you every day, so it's a good opportunity for you to stay at her place," said Sheng Juanhua.
They are experienced people and are most afraid of their children acting on impulse.
Last night, the couple waited at the stairs for half the night, listening to their daughter chattering with the young man, but they didn't understand a word they said and had no idea what language they were speaking.
Su Youfu immediately followed suit and said, "Yes, go to your aunt's place and I'll tell her."
However, when Zaizai left, Sheng Juanhua prepared a box of dried bamboo shoots and a box of shiitake mushrooms.
It is also a specialty of Gumula Village. Dried bamboo shoots are made by boiling spring bamboo shoots dug by themselves for a day and a night and then smoking them on wood chaff for five or six days. Flower mushrooms are various mushrooms in the mountains. Old villagers can identify whether they are poisonous or not. They are picked and dried, and can be sold for hundreds of dollars per kilogram outside. It is considered a rare product. Most villagers do not eat them themselves, but sell them.
"Please take these two boxes back for your parents to try. Let them try something new. And, Xiao Li, we appreciate the gift you brought to your uncle and aunt, but it's too valuable. We can't accept it. Please take it back."
Xiao Qi: ...Every time I hear my parents call my son Xiao Li, I always feel a little uncomfortable, as if they are calling him the driver or some little Luo Luo.
When Li Weijin heard the name Xiao Li for the first time, he was stunned and didn't react for several times. He realized that it was called him.
"No need. This is a gift from my parents to my uncles and aunts. If you don't accept it, I will feel embarrassed to take your gift." He was reluctant to say goodbye. He liked the village very much and felt it was very fun. However, because of the gift, he became embarrassed. Li Wei Jin walked away embarrassedly holding the dried bamboo shoots and flower mushrooms.
Xiaoqi had no choice but to follow.
Sheng Juanhua and Su Youfu were left looking at the box of small bug-like things in front of them, with helpless looks on their faces.
When the young man brought it yesterday, Sheng Juanhua didn't pay much attention to it. It looked like a health product and the box was not big. Then they chatted for a few minutes during the meal and it seemed that the young man's family background was very, very good?
The couple opened the things at night. It said Cordyceps, which they had heard of before. They were quite big, like worms, each as long as a finger.
Sheng Juanhua was unsure, so when her daughter and the young man went up the mountain this morning, she called Ms. Liang. Among the people she knew, Ms. Liang was the most knowledgeable.
"A finger-long cordyceps, oh my, sister-in-law, that's incredible, hard to buy, sold by the gram. I tell you, a gram of this grade would sell for at least two or three hundred, and if it's good, it could be four or five hundred."
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Juanhua felt dizzy.
Looking back at the Cordyceps, it must have weighed two kilograms!!!
One gram is two hundred, and two kilograms is one kilogram, which means two hundred thousand?
Where does anyone send things like this???
