Chapter 484: But as a mother, how could she not think about her own daughter?

"Big sister, where are you from?"

The others also listened attentively with their ears perked up.

After being out for so long, Xinxin had grown more cautious. She looked at Song Shiwei first, making sure she smiled at her, before she spoke: "We are from the north, and this time we are here to visit relatives. My aunt is in Kadazi Mountain!"

One of Old Man Wang's daughters-in-law laughed.

"No wonder you don't look like locals. Your accent sounds just like the announcer on the loudspeaker radio! So you're from the north. Then what kind of relatives are you to Yang's daughter-in-law?"

Xinxin looked at Song Shiwei, who pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, to be honest, the daughter-in-law of the Yang family is my distant sister. I am the granddaughter of her great-grandmother's daughter's aunt's aunt's aunt's aunt! This is my mother, and this is my father. My grandmother's generation fled to the north and got married there. My mother got to know my father, and now they all live there too!"

As soon as she finished speaking, not only did Old Man Wang's family fall silent, but even Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong were stunned.

Everyone is thinking what is the connection?

Old Man Wang's daughters-in-law thought about it. They didn't know a few words at first, and now after hearing what Song Shiwei said, it was like listening to a foreign language.

Finally, Old Man Wang’s wife slapped her thigh and said with a smile: “Well! Anyway, you are all distant relatives of Yang’s wife! Since you are all relatives, you are one family! Come and have dinner, eat, eat!”

Everyone laughed along.

"Yes, yes, they are all relatives!"

"Yes, yes, yes!! Come and eat!"

The atmosphere seemed to become warm all of a sudden.

The people on the wall seemed to be talking in low voices as well.

"It turns out he's a relative of Yang's daughter-in-law!"

"Yes, the relative of Yang's daughter-in-law!"

"Come on, stop looking, go back and eat!"

“Go, go, go!”

..........

Old man Wang's wife held Zhao Huili's hand and smiled with wrinkles on her face.

"Oh, sister-in-law, coming here is like going home!"

Old man Wang also laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go back to our own home! Don't be polite! Old lady, clean up the room and put on a new mattress!"

Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong were a little overwhelmed by their sudden enthusiasm.

He looked at Song Shiwei and saw her winking at him, so he quickly smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes, go back to your own home! Big sister, you don't have to be so polite!"

When these words were spoken, Song Xinxin covered her mouth and laughed.

Her mother's explanation made her grandmother look like a Guizhou native! She even had to change her ancestral home!

Seeing her giggling, how could Zhao Huili not know what she was thinking, she secretly pinched her with one hand.

Xinxin laughed even more happily.

Song Shiwei took a look at the food at Old Man Wang's house: wild vegetable nests, mixed-grain cakes, and the only dishes except for a cold cucumber, were stir-fried eggplant and stir-fried beans. None of them looked oily, and at the end, there was a kohlrabi pickled in salt.

Normally, since Old Man Wang's family delivered food to the guesthouse, their life should not be too bad. But even so, it seemed that their life was not very good.

I picked up the dish and took a bite. It tasted salty but had no flavor at all.

Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong also looked at each other.

Not to mention that Song Shiwei and Song Wenlin had made money in recent years and the family had no worries about food and drink, even when the children were young and she and Song Zhiyong lived on their wages, they had never lived in such poverty.

Old Mrs. Song is a person who knows how to enjoy life. If the food at home is not tasty, she will complain about it for days.

Although you can't put a lot of oil, the taste is still good.

The dishes in front of me obviously don’t even have soy sauce, let alone other seasonings.

When they think about the mountains here, it is not easy to go out. They have been walking for so long and haven't even seen a town. Even the villages are very few. It is definitely not that convenient to buy things.

Their living conditions here are not as good as those in Beijing in the 1960s and 1970s. It can be said that they are far worse.

It was like this here, Zhao Huili didn't even dare to imagine what life was like for her little girl over there.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask Old Man Wang's wife.

"Big sister, I want to ask, how is Kadazi Mountain?"

Hearing her words, Old Man Wang's wife smiled.

"Sister-in-law, are you worried about your little girl?"

Zhao Huili nodded quickly.

At this moment, Old Man Wang suddenly put down his chopsticks and sighed.

"Sister-in-law, I'm telling you, Kadazi Mountain is not as good as our place. It's not an exaggeration to say that the place is poor and the water is bad. The road is very difficult to walk on, and it's all rugged mountain roads. Look! It's right there. Just climb over two hills and you'll be there!"

Zhao Huili and Song Shiwei looked in the direction of his finger, and what they saw was a towering mountain with several small hills next to it. The mountain was so high that it reached the clouds. Although it was getting dark, it was not too dark here, perhaps because of the high altitude.

A faint yellow glow can be seen on the other side of the mountain.

Old Man Wang's wife said, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, the mountain road is not easy to walk on. I'm afraid you can't climb up. Besides, you don't know the way. If you don't have a local to lead you, it's easy to get lost in the mountains! Although we are deep in the mountains and forests, nothing has happened before!"

"But, I didn't mean to scare you. There are really wild animals in this mountain! Last year, two women went to the mountain together to pick herbs to sell. As a result, they never came out again. The villagers went to look for them, but in the end they only found a pile of shredded clothes and a pile of broken bones! No one knows what wild animal tore them up and ate them!"

When she said this, Zhao Huili, Xinxin and even Song Zhiyong all turned pale.

Song Shiwei thought of his experience in Death Valley, and he still feels scared when he thinks about it now!

At first, they were trying their best to save Zhou Tingyue and didn't care about being afraid at all. But now, thinking of the wolves, the swamp, and the poisonous miasma, if it weren't for Old Li, they might have really died in there!

Pursing her lips, she asked, "Auntie, I want to ask how can we get to Kadazi Mountain? If we find some local people to follow us, can we get there?"

Old Man Wang's wife nodded and said, "That's really the only way to get in. Or maybe someone from there will come to pick us up. These wild animals are actually afraid of people. As long as there are enough people and they don't get lost in the deep mountains, they can usually get through! Except for wolves, all the wild animals live alone. As long as you go in a group, they will hear the noise from a distance and run away!"

Old Man Wang looked up and asked them, "Is there anyone coming to pick you up?"

Zhao Huili shook her head and looked at Song Shiwei nervously, her eyes reddened.

Song Shiwei knew that she felt bad, for one reason she didn't know how they would get through it, and another reason she felt sorry for Song Shimiao, who had insisted on coming to the mountainous area to teach and had been away for several years.

The daughter-in-law doesn't miss her, but as a mother, how could she not miss her own daughter-in-law?
