See Nanshan leisurely

I don't know if it's the first time I've eaten fresh ingredients, or because Lan Shan's cooking skills are too good, or because Chen Youran is really hungry. In short, this bowl of glutinous rice without meat is just plain. It was the best delicacy she had eaten recently, so that when she put down the bowl, she was still a little unsatisfied.

Lan Shan put away the bowls and chopsticks, and walked to the next room with them.Chen Youran was about to leave, so she got up and followed.The room here is a stove room, with an earthen stove built in the middle, a large iron pot more than one meter in length, and bowls, chopsticks, chopping boards, etc. scattered on the stove.The basket of azalea that Lan Shan brought back earlier is also placed here.

To the east of the stove, a large water tank and a stone mill occupy two corners, facing each other far away.There is a pile of fresh weeds piled up in front of the stone mill, which should have just been harvested to feed the pigs.

Next to the fresh grass is a cupboard, and beside the cupboard is a row of clay stalls.At this moment, Lan Shan was squatting in front of an altar, holding the edge of the altar with one hand, and reaching into the altar with the other hand, not knowing what she was fishing for.

In an instant, the words "Miao Jiang Gu Art" came back to my mind.

Legend has it that Gu worms are kept in jars, and they are kept fighting with other worms, or fed with strange things, until the Gu worms are fully cultivated.

Chen Youran took a small step back indiscriminately, and then watched Lan Shan fish out...a handful of sauerkraut from the jar.

Her heart sank back with a "boom", and she couldn't help laughing at herself for thinking too much.

Faced with the unknown and unfamiliar, people are always prone to have many unreasonable speculations. In fact, if there is such a magical thing as poisonous poison in the world, why do these Miao people still nest in this mountain, living such a life of starvation and precarity?

Ten thousand steps back, even if there is such a thing, it must be very precious and rare, and it must be found by someone who is valuable to use it, and it cannot be Chen Youran's turn.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing at herself, retreated to her seat by the stove, and sat down again.

After a while, the sound of "Tu Tu Tu Tu" came from the kitchen, it should be Lan Shan who was chopping vegetables.Soon, she came back with a small pot of chopped sauerkraut, added two pieces of firewood to the stove, and then poured the sauerkraut into the aluminum pot where the beans and rice were simmering.The fresh aroma of sauerkraut floated in the room, and Chen Youran felt that he could still eat another bowl.

When the sauerkraut, beans and rice were boiled again, Lan Shan found a basket, put the whole aluminum pot in it, and then used another pot to fill the glutinous rice, and put the three sets of bowls and chopsticks in the rice and pressed it well. Place it on top of an aluminum pan after sealing it.

Then she looked at Chen Youran, "I'm going to deliver food on the slope, how about you?"

"I should go too!" Chen Youran had been staring blankly at Lan Shan's work, but now she stood up immediately.

Lan Shan went to the house on the other side and carried her bicycle out.Yes, because the house has a threshold, it is carried instead of pushed.Seeing this, Chen Youran hurried forward to help, and put the bicycle on the ground.

She hesitated and asked Lan Shan, "Are you going to deliver food to your parents?"

"It's a bit far over there, and going back and forth is too slow and time-consuming." Lan Shan said.

"Just...just eat vegetarian dishes?" Chen Youran hesitated, but finally asked this question.It wasn't until she saw Lan Shan put a pot of vegetarian vegetables in the basket that she realized that for this family, even lard should be saved, but Lan Shan used it to cook rice for her before.

Although she was a guest and there was a custom of leaving good things for guests in this area, Chen Youran still felt very uncomfortable.

Lan Shan smiled, "It's too hot, so it's refreshing to eat some vegetarian food, and it's more delicious."

I don't know if it's true or to prevaricate her, but since she said that, Chen Youran couldn't ask anymore.

Lan Shan picked up the basket and walked forward, while Chen Youran pushed the cart behind her.The two were not going in the same direction. Lan Shan sent her to the intersection first, and pointed out, "This is the way to Da'anzhai. Just follow the main road and you will be there. But the road is not very good, so be careful."

"Yeah." Chen Youran looked at her, feeling a little strong reluctance for some reason.

Lan Shan smiled at her, and walked in another direction with the basket on her back.Chen Youran watched her go away, and suddenly two lines of poems that she forgot where she read them suddenly popped up in her mind: Meeting Jun for the first time is like returning from an old friend.

This girl has a very special temperament, Chen Youran can't describe it, she just thinks that she is very different from most people he has met, so she pays special attention to it.

She waited until Lan Shan was out of sight before stepping on the bicycle.

Chen Youran didn't go to Da'an Village, but rode back home.I miscalculated today and wasted too much time on the road. Even if I continue to read the meter, I can only finish reading Da'anzhai, and I will definitely come again later.That being the case, there is no need to go today.

The bicycle cannot be ridden and pushed, and the platform shoes on the feet are not suitable... Wait!Chen Youran lowered her head and stared at the pair of mille-soled cloth shoes on her feet. She was so busy leaving just now that she completely forgot to change her shoes!

But she soon came back to her senses and thought quite naturally that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this, and she would have a reason to go to Lan Shan's house next time.

Although it was quite painful to push the car when I came here, the return journey was almost all downhill. Chen Youran didn't even need to step on it, the car would go all the way down by itself, saving effort.So the journey home took less than half the time it took.

Lin Xiuying is washing clothes.Their house did not have a sink, nor did they put running water into the house, nor did they have a dedicated pipe for the washing machine, so they had to carry the washing machine out and put it in the yard.The two-tub washing machine required manual water changes and starting, so she sat on a bench in the shade under the eaves, watching the machine while knitting.

Seeing Chen Youran, she couldn't help being very surprised, "Why did you come back so early?"

"You also said, I haven't walked this road, haven't you? No one told me that the road is difficult to walk, and it's all uphill! Bicycles can't be ridden at all, they can only be pushed, it's terrible !" Chen Youran complained dissatisfiedly, "My feet hurt like hell from walking, and I don't know if there are any blisters."

"Oh, didn't I forget?" Lin Xiuying raised her hand and patted her forehead, "Look at my memory. Then you came back directly?"

"I went to Qingshan Village." Chen Youran put the bicycle away, went back to the house, and answered from a distance.

Lin Xiuying also raised her voice, "I didn't know you were coming back, and I didn't leave you a meal, so cook some noodles!"

Chen Youran collapsed on the sofa and let out a long sigh.She kicked the shoes to the ground, checked the soles of her feet, and made sure it was just rubbed red, and there was no major problem, so she smiled mockingly. She was still her own mother. The child went out and changed a pair of shoes, but she didn't pay attention at all. arrive.

In fact, not only Lin Xiuying didn't notice, but also Chen Boping didn't notice when he came back.They didn't notice it until the evening when their sister Chen Yanran said it out loud.

But at this time, Chen Youran had lost the desire to confide.She leaned on the sofa, stared at the TV, and said casually, "My shoes are not easy to walk in. I met a kind person who changed them for me. I will wash them and return them to them." Then she said casually , "The roads in the village are too difficult to walk, there are slopes everywhere, I can't ride a bicycle, I can't walk all the time in the future, can I?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Boping asked.

Chen Youran said directly, "Dad, you can buy me a motorcycle. It will be convenient to go in and out in the future. When I don't read the meter, you and my mother can also use it."

Chen Boping was taken aback, and Lin Xiuying had already called out, "You damn child, didn't you just buy that bicycle? The motorcycle costs more than 1 yuan, how can you just buy it?!" In the 90s, ten thousand yuan households are still very worthy of bragging rights It is not that the Chen family does not have this family background, but buying a motorcycle for more than 1 yuan is obviously not in line with their consumption habits.

On the other hand, Chen Boping, because he has always been busy outside, the way to spoil his daughter is to buy, buy, buy, and buy. Chen Youran is the eldest daughter, and she was hugged by him when she was a child. Having grown up and started working again, these things should have been on the agenda.

He thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to buy you a motorcycle. But you have to make sure to do this job well. You can't go fishing twice for three days and hang the net for two days, let alone play your temper and say you don't want to go after a few days of work." , otherwise the motorcycle will be taken back, can you agree?"

Chen Boping himself knew that this daughter had been raised a little delicately. After graduating from high school, she stayed at home for a year. The main reason was that she was picky.Although he doesn't expect his children to make money to support the family, but the girl has a formal job, so he can talk to others later.But the meter reader is hard work, and he doesn't intend to let her continue to work. After two years of hard work, he will put her in the elementary school in the town.

Anyway, the educational qualifications of elementary school teachers are now teachers, which is the same as that of high school.Moreover, although Chen Youran didn't study very well, she was very good at Chinese, more than enough to be a primary school teacher.It shouldn't be too difficult to find a relationship.

Chen Youran naturally had no objection, Lin Xiuying wanted to say something, but seeing that her husband had already made a decision, she shut up.She married Chen Boping, and her life was not bad.

The Chen family was originally an ordinary family in the town, but Chen Boping was willing to fight, and took out the money from his parents to buy a tractor for people to pull goods. The family has always lived well.The past two years have been good, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up has finally blown into this small town in the southwestern border, so the tractor at home has been replaced by a small truck.

The income is more, but Chen Boping's days at home are getting less and less.Because Lin Xiuying gave birth to two daughters, she was always a little bit embarrassed to hold her head up. She always suspected that Chen Boping had someone outside, and she cried behind her back for countless times, but she became less and less confident in front of him.Most of the things he decides will not be refuted.

So the matter of buying a motorcycle was settled like this.
