Chapter 484: But as a mother, how could she not miss her daughter?
"Big sister, where are you from?"
The others also pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
After being out for so long, Xinxin has become more cautious. She first looked at Song Shiwei to make sure she smiled at her before she spoke: "We are from the north, and we are here to visit relatives. My aunt is over at 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! So you're from the north. Then what kind of relatives are you to Yang's wife?"
Xinxin looked at Song Shiwei, who pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, speaking of which, the Yang family's daughter-in-law is my distant sister. I am the granddaughter of her great-grandmother's daughter's aunt's family! This is my mother, and this is my father. My grandmother's generation fled to the north and got married there. My mother met my father, and now they all live there!"
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 many words to begin with, 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 the distant relatives of Yang’s wife! Since we are all relatives, we are one family! Come and eat, eat, eat!”
Everyone started laughing.
"Yes, yes, they are all relatives!"
"Yes, yes, yes!! Let's eat, eat!"
The atmosphere seemed to become lively all of a sudden.
The people on the wall seemed to be whispering as well.
"So he's a relative of Yang's daughter-in-law!"
"Yes, the relative of Yang's daughter-in-law!"
"Come on, stop looking, and go back to eat!"
“Go, go, go!”
..........
Old man Wang's wife was holding Zhao Huili's hand and smiling with wrinkles on her face. ,
"Oh, sister-in-law, this is like going back to your own 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 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 person from Guizhou Province! Her ancestral home has to be changed!
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 dumplings, multi-grain pancakes, and the only other dishes except a cold cucumber, fried eggplant and fried beans. None of them seemed to have much oil or water. At the end, there was also 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 have made money in recent years and the family has 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 such a poor life.
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 several days.
Although you can't put a lot of oil, the taste is still good.
The dishes in front of me obviously didn'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 seen even a town. Even the villages are pitifully few. It must not be convenient to buy things.
The 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.
Things are like this here, Zhao Huili doesn't even dare to imagine what kind of life her little daughter is living 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 time, Old Man Wang suddenly put down his chopsticks and sighed.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not saying that Kadazi Mountain is not as good as our place. It's not an exaggeration to say that the place is poor and has bad water. The road is very difficult to walk on. It's all rugged mountain roads. Look! It's over there. After climbing two hills, we will arrive!"
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 towering into the clouds. Although it was getting dark, it didn't seem too dark here, probably 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 there is no local to lead you, it's easy to get lost in the mountains! Although we are deep in the mountains and forests, generally nothing has happened!"
"But, I'm not trying 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! We don't know what wild animals 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 the beginning, they were trying their best to save Zhou Tingyue and had no time to be afraid. 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, "Aunt, I want to ask how can we get to Kadazi Mountain? If we find some locals to follow us, can we get there?"
Old Man Wang's wife nodded, "That's really the only way to get in. Or someone from the other side 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, we can usually get through! Except for wolves, those wild animals live alone. As long as we go in a group, they will hear the noise from afar and run away!"
Old Man Wang looked up and asked them, "Is there anyone coming to pick you up over there?"
Zhao Huili shook her head and looked at Song Shiwei nervously, her eyes red.
Song Shiwei knew that she felt bad. One reason was that she didn't know how they were going to get through, and the other was that she felt sorry for Song Shimiao, who had insisted on coming to the mountainous area to teach and had been away for several years.
Her daughter doesn't miss her, but as a mother, how could she not miss her own daughter?
